My mother told me a bunch of these stories when I was younger and it wasn't until I had been an adult for a while that I realized no one is gonna kidnap women and girls that someone will look for. There's plenty of illegal immigrants, homeless people, and foster kids with behavioral problems that no one will question going missing. Hell half those people are desperate enough for drugs or even just basic human needs that they'll willingly go with them. And a lot of the times in these dumb internet stories the homeless or immigrants or whoever are the kidnappers too. A lot of the time it feels like a targeted disinformation campaign to make those vulnerable groups the bad guys in these stories when they're usually actually the victims. Also all the rest of that aside, it might still be worth it to lure me into the parking lot distracted / upset by a fake towing to hit me on the head with a brick and steal my car, but they completely lost me at the transdermal sedatives bit.

Not usually tied to immigrants. Low income definitely but not immigrants.

At least I think

No, racism definitely plays a part in a lot of violence against women.
