Aus der Tragödie einen Sinn machen: Gabby Petitos Vater setzt sich für vermisste schwarze und braune Menschen ein und arbeitet an der Fernsehserie „Faces of the Missing“, um Fälle vermisster Personen hervorzuheben, die seiner Meinung nach in den Medien kaum Beachtung gefunden haben

Excerpt:

Petito is currently working on a television series called “Faces of the Missing,” which will highlight dozens of unsolved missing persons cases he says have received little media coverage.

“We are going to do all demographics,” Petito said. “But we want to keep it consistent with the way people are represented from a proportionate perspective.”

“There’s a lot of work that can be done and a lot of families that can be helped regardless of their color,” he added.

Petito also wants the series to combat the police classification of “runaway” for people who are reported missing, he said. Black families and advocates have previously told CNN authorities often suggest their missing loved ones ran away from home.

“Unless you speak to the person specifically, they cannot be labeled a runaway,” Petito said. “Any label other than ‘missing’ is wrong.”
