This should not have become a national story period. It was and still is a local issue. If you want to pass blame then blame the media frenzie in that town and all the REPORTERS who did not do a damn thing to help find her or investigate anything other then WHAT IFS and WHAT NOWS....

I thought it bacame national because they were looking for a person who had been abducted and we were all supposed to be on the lookout for her? I thought the media spread news like this in an effort to help FIND people who may be taken across state lines.
