Gabby Petito’s father, Joseph Petito, couldn’t help but share his reaction soon after he and the rest of the country found out that California teenager Kiely Rodni was allegedly dead. Sharing a photo of the young teen, he wrote on Twitter, “My condolences to #kielyrondi’s family. May she rest in peace. The emotions all come back to the surface when you see things like this.”
Many of Joseph’s Twitter followers also reacted to the death by commenting, “I bet it does. But I have to say I am always so impressed with how you selflessly post about other missing persons. In spite of your pain you have consistently tried to help other families who are dealing with what you dealt with.” Seeing how the Petito family has been working with politicians in an effort to create a national missing persons database, according to TMZ, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that Joseph was left emotional over Rodni’s case, too. It looks like there is still much more work to be done.
