Over the years many have disappeared but it wasn't covered until they were found dead later. There was one in Harlem a few years ago that after they found the young girl's body the news mentioned she had been missing for a few months.

Perhaps it is callous, but I for one would like to hear a whole lot less about Natalie Holloway.

In fact I would like to hear a whole lot less about people who go missing in general. It happens all the time all across the country- and the media gloms on to one or two cases, that are almost always attractive young, often blond, white women. They then proceed to beat it into the ground with non-stop coverage. Then on slow news days they resurrect these stories and bring in talking heads to talk about them some more.

I could care less. I really could.
