Reddit started a media driven frenzy over this missing person that further hurt an already tramatized family: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunil_Tripathi

As far as I am aware, crowd sourcing via social media did not assist with indentifying and catching the suspects.

Oh, how did Reddit do that? Or are you all just full of shit? Do you think there are people who don't use both sites?

Feel free to do your own research as the whole process by which this misinformation was created and then spread is pretty well documented. There are quite a few sites and journalists that bear responsibility, but reddit is where it all started.

Your tone is not appropriate to HN.
