It’s called ‘missing white woman syndrome’

White might have something to do with it, but i think it's more about what we the public perceive as a weak, underserved victims that we identify as people that need our protection. Being attractive matters. It matters in many ways in life, no matter how much and how many people deny it.

Pettit, pretty women in general get coverage.

Children get coverage. Children from more affluent neighborhoods get more coverage. Likely because more resources are available and used.

In San Diego, i've been hearing about the missing Maya Millete. She's a cute little 5'-something-tiny filipino woman. She's been missing since January 7th and to this day they still cover her story on the news. 9-months missing and she's STILL getting coverage. Most people don't get any coverage at all.
