Wonder where she is now. Did she stay at Best Buy? Is she the regional manager by now? Is she alive? There’s a not zero chance she got murdered.
That’s a weird direction to take this line of thinking.
It's been 13 minutes since FarMaster69 wrote this. What have they done in the meantime? Did they brew coffee? Read an article? Get trampled to death by a herd of rampaging elephants? There's a non-zero chance that FarMaster69 has died to a herd of elephants.
One minute ago rabbidhamster put into words what we are all thinking about fartmaster 69. Is he dead? Are the elephants still there? Did they get him find out next time on dragon Ball? Z
And I'm seeing this at 3+ hours.
It might only take one elephant, if FarMaster69 was in the wrong place at the wrong time. So anywhere between 1 and all elephants on earth might have trampled them by now. The chances of that happening increase every second.
Holy crap! This is that guy? I thought I read the news alert wrong!
What does he know that we don't?
Let's find out.

I agree that she's likely in her early 20s here. Photo from 2000, so approx 45 right now.
Sadly, no other images from the photos added to Getty, where lots of sites use this image give us any more to go on.
This image is hard to use for any facial recognition sites, and even just being a human looking at this, I can't easily find anyone with the same name from general indexing sites (she might also be married and changed the last name) to get much farther than this short of spending time and money looking at high school yearbook sites and facebook to see what lines up. Just to get a clearer photo, just to use PimEyes on her.
Remember kids, anyone can do OSINT on you, so be careful what you post online. You leave a lot of data in your wake, even if you don't intend to.
Yeah I think you proved your point.
You know she never signed a model release.
Didn't need to - Best Buy allowed the photographer in and it's in their contracts that images and likenesses on the job are their property.
Crushed to death Black Friday, November 2000 by rabid customers trying to get a PS2. 😔
She really got down on Friday 🎶
I do this a lot also, especially with animals in tv shows/youtube videos. No idea why my brain goes down that road.
If this lady is in her early 20s in this picture, she has to be in her mid to late 40s now. I wonder how she’s doing too.
I do it with movies. If I’m watching something really old I’ll lean over and say, “fun fact: everyone in this movie… is dead”
It appears they found a way to stay alive.
