Same event, two completely different articles re: girls body found on I-10

Alright, so this girls body was found on I-10 last week. While one article makes it sound like she was sneaking out and running across the interstate at night, the second article states her body was "dismembered" and is a plea for help to find out what happened to her body and who did it...
Just found it odd that two articles could be so completely different talking about the same event. Not sure why this surprises me knowing the media these days
hit by car sneaking out
dismembered body

That is very strange.
The first implies that the girl was trying to cross the interstate to get to North Miro Street, but offers no reasons why.
The second implies she was out near the interstate trying to get a ride after an argument with her mother
And her mother also implies that she got in the car with someone
The first implies that the girl was trying to cross the interstate to get to North Miro Street, but offers no reasons why.
quote:
It appeared Ward was killed while walking or attempting to cross the interstate in the dark, according to a source.
Her body was in the right shoulder emergency lane of the interstate. Police said she was trying to get a ride to North Miro Street around midnight
The second implies she was out near the interstate trying to get a ride after an argument with her mother
quote:
Martin-Nelson said days before the gruesome discovery, she and Ward had gotten into an argument and her daughter went to stay with friends. Martin-Nelson said the two continued to talk on the phone until their last call, when Ward said she was ready to return home
And her mother also implies that she got in the car with someone
quote:
"Just please tell whoever she was with, whatever man, whatever boy, whatever girl, it does not matter at this point," Martin-Nelson said. "I just need to know who was this person, this missing link, that nobody seems to know about that my child was in a car with. I will not stop until they find them."

And obviously getting hit by a car going 70 could dismember your body, but writing that in an article makes it seem that it was dismembered by someone else.
quote:
Kaylan Ward's body was found dismembered last Friday along Interstate 10 near the Bullard Avenue exit, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

right, id expect an arm or a leg or something to become detached it you get smoked by a car going 80+, people fly on the interstate in the east, myself included. but the second article makes it sound like someone physically dismembered her, a murder rather than an accident.
whats up with all these people getting hit by cars on the interstate lately??

Especially because it also implies she was in the car with someone else:

But the first has no mention of her being in the car with anyone else

The reporting is terrible. One of my family died in the accident involving the alligator on I-10 in NOLA East. They reported that the van driver that stopped after hitting the alligator was the one that died. They reported it like the van driver got out and was killed by another driver. It was the guy behind him, that couldn't stop in time, that was killed.

yeah, each organization picked different parts of quotes from the mother and used them to support their narrative. pretty shitty

It's like they don't even try to get it right. What will scare people the most...let's go with that.

So was she staying with friends or sneaking out?
