This case is just a run of the mill tragic murder. I'm not trying to minimize it, but thousands of young girls disappear every day and alot just like this. Why is this important? Because the news media needs ratings. This isn't a national story. There is no need for our government to be spending this much time and money.

Would the resources and the exposure help eventually solve this case faster and easier? probably. But you can say that about any of the thousands of missing people cases.

Are you referring to the US government? How much time and money have the Feds spent on this case? You obviously know the answer and I will await it.

Right. It's an International story.

OUR governement isn't spending one cent on this. ARUBA is.

You're referring to the Joe Wilson-Valerie Plame "story" of course?

You NEVER hear anything about the 14 year old American girl who was stabbed to death in Trindidad and Tobago and rarely anything about the young man who died on his honeymoon cruise. And how many black children do you hear about? Or black adults, for that matter, who are murdered. Talk about bias.
