Yup

The media doesn't simply pick up on these stories. They have them thrust upon them by the parents and missing children advocacy groups.

And if they DON'T cover the story, then the media becomes the story when the parents go to other media outlets and tell them that so and so refused to run a story about their poor missing daughter.

Interesting...so if your daughter went missing, you would not do everything you could to try to find her? Your quote above makes it seem like the missing daughter is not important...whereas I believe ANY child (or person , for that matter) that goes missing is important and worth finding.

A missing person does not merit national news coverage.

Huntington Gorge is actually a pretty dangerous place, there have been a few deaths/drownings over the years there, due to lots of rocks and kids liking to swim there. I'd be interested to see what the autopsy results are, it is quite a haul from downtown Burlington though, she would've had to have driven or been driven up there. No busses, no trains, no way of getting there except by car.

Edit:

BTW the last person to drown there was a UVM student, it's a popular place for the college kids to go. 20 deaths since 1961, almost one every other year.

He has a point. I doubt you or I would be that "unselfish" if our daughters were missing.

I would be a man on a mission. I would pester anyone and everyone until she was found. And if hurt, I would do the same until the perp is found.
