You're asking if people would know or care about her if she was someone completely different? That completely misses the point -- she did call Finebaum's show on the reg, and that's why people know her and are sad that she was killed in an accident. It doesn't matter if anyone would care were she an anonymous person because the reason they do care is because they know who she is.

I think most people feel bad when they read stories like this and those involved are anonymous but when it's someone you know by face, voice, or even type/print, it's different. That connection brings it closer to home in a way that anonymity doesn't.

It doesn't mean people only care about who they know, just that it makes it harder for us to shake when we have some sort of connection the person or people involved.

Some folks mistake that for only caring about these events when it happens to famous or somewhat famous people.
