Missing girl in Aruba

[JackWhite]

Is there anybody who feels that the story of the missing Alabama girl in Aruba should be a major national story? It is a tragedy for her family and community, but I cannot quite understand how that makes it a national story, considering that there are thousands of missing persons/homicides every year.

On a similar note, I see NBC devoted a full hour tonight to the runaway bride. If Americans aren't aware of what is taking place in the country or the world, it is easy to see why.
