I think it’s the fact that she was pregnant. I mean, a pregnant woman was so ruthlessly butchered and that’s what makes it stand out in my mind. Nine months along and this happens. She begged to be taken hostage to give birth to save her child and they didn’t show her even that. I mean, the MURDER of an expectant mother is something unusually grisly.
The rest were not expecting mothers. Furthermore, I don’t think that lesser coverage means any insult. You rarely hear about a crime so ruthless and savage as what was done to Tate and her friends. But add being nine months along in the mix and you have hideous crime.
The number one cause of death among pregnant women is homicide.
Usually by the baby-daddy, though.
