I agree. Almost like they knew she was dead and who did it all along.

And the story was completely overblown, people go missing in the inner cities and rural areas all the time and never even get mentioned in regional papers - let alone national coverage. Tragic that this young woman was killed, but using Yale in all the headlines brings viewship. It’s too bad.

It tends to be news when students are murdered at colleges (and k-12, obviously).

Murder at an Ivy college is practically unheard of. when it does it is a "man bites dog" story due to it being unusual.
