NO missing person should get "favorable" coverage and it's all horrible, but I agree, if she wasn't blond and pretty I'm not sure we would have heard much about it.
His family and friends are pleading for more media attention, they have tried contacting every news outlet.
I had the same question as essence too. Pretty sick of the coverage, and i really feel for her family. Cannot even imagine what they’re going through, especially at the recent development body found is likely to be her body. But i am so sick of how only white, attractive, and young people get more coverage. It’s like this in anything with murders, missing, and rapes. The missing male from IL count too!
