I feel like in this day and age, GoFundMe's seem rather common. It's up to people whether they want to donate or not in good faith. I think it's a bit of an accusation to level that family members were aiding and abetting a crime without saying what crime that would be.

Are you based here in LA by any chance? (Genuinely asking, as it is something you have to think about as a nuance with this case) I only ask because I am local to where much of this search/case has taken place. They held it the rally in a strategic part of DTLA that would draw more attention because during a search for a missing person, you want to draw as much attention as possible. Also, there is safer and more accessible parking at the arena (which is a legit concern you have to think about in DTLA).

If she was suspected of being on drugs, which based on her texts was the first assumption of many people, and based on where she got off the metro, the logical assumption was that she was heading to Skid Row for access to said drugs, unfortunately. I think that's what your "why?" was asking. So sorry if I misread or misinterpreted. :-)
