For those who are saying she is promiscuous, she quite possibly is, but I doubt she was when she was in Croatia, she had a boyfriend.

Regardless, it's all in pretty piss-poor taste IMHO ...
How would you feel if Britt was your daughter, sister, GF or friend etc ???
She had her whole life ahead of her, but now it's been extinguished at age 21
Surely she and her family deserve some respect and none of these crass comments or gossip bullshit from morons who think it's okay to talk about a young dead woman whom they have never known or met, just hearing crap from the online gossip central rumour mill.
you are an a-grade tosser if you believe that truong van nguyen deserved to be executed. there's a lot of hypocrisy out there making brit an angel after this country has had 4 solid years of laughing at the corby's.
Why didnt he deserve to be executed? That was the law of the country in which he was caught red-handed.
What I found remarkable about the whole Nguyen story was how the media made it out like it was his first and only time he had smuggled drugs in a noble attempt to help his brother. First time he got caught I reckon.
His mother was very humble and did deserve our symathies, but not her sons. No way!

Obviously he deserved to get executed, but its a fair load of horseshit that the Corby's got so much more attention and sympathy than he did.
It's all down to this:

A very sad ending with confirmation from Croatia that the news is Britt. Her parents have indicated they want another autopsy done in Australia when they bring her home for final confirmation that it is indeed her.
RIP Britt, my thoughts to her family and friends.

RIP Britt.
I hope that they catch the w***ers who killed her.

I am very concerned with this "confirmation" of the body...
All along the police were saying it wasn't Britt, as the body had been in the water too long and was way too decomposed to be her..
Now it IS her.....I also heard (only the once tho) that it was body parts they found..
As a parent I would need to have an independent DNA test done....just for peace of mind.....the doubts are enormous IMO..
I feel so sad for her family...a terrible tragedy

They took DNA samples and confirmed it already that it was her.

Totally agree. I dont know. I would be bringing the body home to Australia, and getting it tested.
Sad for the parents. I cant imagine what they are going through, your kids you would die for.Until you have kids you cant understand that.
Something stinks with this case...very bizarre
Son of the hostel owner interviewd for 38 hrs, nothing comes of it and is released only to slag her off in a newspaper.
Owner of Hostel attempts to mail her passport home the day she vanishes.
All her travel "friends" leave Croatia the day she disappears. Interpol yet to track them down.
Croatian police tell the family its not the body then say it is the body.
I wouldnt be surprised if the remains arent hers. Something fishy is going on here

Agree with KK - something is not right here. The fact the police seem to be doing very little makes the whole thing be really suspicious.

Agree as well, something very fishy about the whole case.
The police over there are hopeless.

This sad case has more screws in it than a corkscrew. Very sad, we will probably never know the full picture.

Also http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5325808 covers it well.
It sucks that it's happened for her family, but the media and her family has made it into an hysterical storm that has me simply annoyed because they have an agenda now and it cant and wont be stopped, because it sells, nothing more.
Just because you don't agree with the media coverage of it doesn't mean you should disrespect this chick. Get off your high horse.
yes it is sad for the family and for those that knew her. i hope they catch the bastard that did this. sometimes i do wonder why guys do this kinda sh** to other people.
but a very good point was made here, if the person that went missing was a black man none of us would know about it, the police wouldve done nothing and the family would be faced with brick walls and still looking for a body.
it is not just missing people. Look at the media coverage on Schapelle Corby, van Nguyen and the 2 naturalised australian vietnamese guys to be executed in Vietnam. It was laughable the sh** that was reported, along with the general public opinion at the time.

This "chick"? Some might consider that to be disrespectful too matey.
Sounds like the body was hacked up a bit.

Why casue she is anglo has blonde hair blue eys and is pretty. I really couldn't give a s**t...and don't blame me blame me the media for making me cynical.
The day i see the kind of media footage afforded to a non white anglo person is the day i will care. As it stands meh care factor 0.
If your care factor is zero why do you keep showing up on this thread? If you want to have a go at the media for following this story start your own thread, instead of disrespecting a dead girl in this one.

Thats becasue they are middle class sheltered people who think the whole world should revolve around them and them only. Selfish people who have insulted a lot of people who have also had people gone missing or murdered without even a whimper from the media with their performance, especially her mother.
Middle class people always think the world revolves around them.
