I don’t know either. The only thing I can think of is that she was a government intern. Back when she was missing, I heard a live radio interview with her mother on WTOP-AM 1500 in Washington, DC. I couldn’t figure out why the news anchor was using valuable air time interviewing the mother of some missing girl. There are dozens of people missing in DC at any one time. Why was 20 minutes of afternoon drivetime devoted to her? This was the weekend before Mother’s Day and she had been missing less than a week at that time, I believe.
They made a fuss over this one because it was connected to a Congressman and a liberal.
