Kim and Christine discuss the tragic events surrounding and leading up to the disappearance of Gabby Petito--a vanlifer traveling to Oregon from the east coast. This case has forced a focus on systemic issues such as mental health, intimate partner violence and the lack of urgency and support for the missing and murdered indigenous and marginalized in our society.
