Although Gabby Petito’s parents gave permission for her voice to be recreated in the American Murder: Gabby Petito series currently streaming on Netflix, her mother tells The Independent that a fake version of her daughter’s voice was “weird.”

She agreed to it for $ and now regrets it.

I'd have sympathy if they didn't give permission, but if your the type of person to cash on in your daughters murder after the media circus has died down, I got zero.

White girl who went missing, and was murdered, in the summer of 2021. There was a lot of controversy around the media coverage it garnered because there were a number of indigenous and other minority women who went missing around the same time and received next to no mention in the news.
