Summary
Nichole Schmidt said a single verified social-media share can create a "ripple effect" that helps locate missing people, urging users to stop and review flyers rather than reposting blindly.
Schmidt advised checking comments for updates and confirming the source first, saying ordinary people have helped find missing individuals by circulating legitimate notices.
Five years after Petito's remains were found in Wyoming on Sept. 19, 2021, her family is using the anniversary to spotlight missing-person cases that receive far less attention.
The Gabby Petito Foundation, launched by her parents and stepparents after her death, has also pushed domestic-violence awareness and backed new laws in states including Florida, Utah and New York.
