Hot blonde with nice legs gets killed.
It's a tragic, horrible story, but there's nothing about the facts which stands out from other similar stories. This kind of crime happens too often sadly. The physical appearance of the victim is what's driving the coverage. There have been many such crimes since she was killed. You're just not seeing them on national news. |

I find it highly unlikely that I would drop what I am doing in my area to go look for some adult that's missing. |

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. |

Kind of like how serial killers are exceedingly rare, and among that exceedingly rare group there are a handful of demographic minorities, whether racial, ethnic, or gendered [Samuel Little, Eileen Wournos], but the details of a handful of that already slim handful are so striking [Bundy, Gacy] that a narrative arises that serial killers always fit the mold of the most striking examples in our minds. Further interfering with this dynamic, as expressed by the Hodge Twins above a little more bluntly, there is a sense of communal reticence to publicize the details of some minority on minority malfeasance because of both systemic reticence to interact with authorities, and a pre-emptive sense that 'dirty laundry' of perpetrators will reflect badly on the entire community. Again, note that, in the vast swathes of 'run-of-the-mill' missing and exploited persons in the 'white' community, there are also plenty who might have benefitted from additional attention and scrutiny and the persons involved in those matters were likewise reticent to publicize or get into detail for similar reasons. So it's still a matter of percentages and not factoring in 'the dog that didn't bark' in these rare maters, more than a matter of race. Last edited by Baby Lee; 09-23-2021 at 12:30 PM.. |
