Relatives say it has been painful to see the disparities between the handling of Jelani Day's disappearance and that of Gabby Petito, whose death drew national attention.

On Thursday, the LaSalle County coroner identified a body found floating in the Illinois River this month as that of Jelani"JJ" Day, 25, of Bloomington.

Day was last seen on campus Aug. 24, and his last known location was at Beyond/Hello cannabis dispensary in Bloomington, law enforcement officials said. Two days later, his car was found about an hour north in Peru, Illinois.

So sad

Who cares if it draws national attention as long as the issue is being investigated by authorities. People will complain about the dumbest stuff.

I hope you told them that the media does not care about victims of crimes in which the perpetrator is black.

Stop watching news & vote in every election. If you want to change things vote; stop watching the news programs that are still on this story. Go on advertisers FB pages to complain. I turn the channel cause I am sick of the story. Keep putting names/pics out there of missing.

Women lives matter. And Jelani is no woman. Er.. where did I go wrong.🤔

You don’t cover the other stories. You are to blame!

My heart goes out to his mother and family. God bless them.

Your News channel played Gabbi clips all day long, everyday for a week straight... So now you complain because of what you did?

😔💕💐💜“🖤🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧠⚛️”

Quit spreading Biden’s Racist Division of America!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
