Body cam footage shows a woman crying for more than an hour. She is clearly upset in the footed, while her boyfriend tries to down play the whole incident. The police responded kind of sympathetically to gabby, and they went out of their way to try and make them separate for the evening. They also really acted as though gabby was being histrionic.
Vox’s Aja Romano explains why the internet stopped what it was doing to find one particular missing person.
Today’s show was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
