I hope this doesn't sound insensitive, because I realize how tragic this story is, but I've never understood why every once in a while one of these kidnapped/murdered child stories comes up and gets SO much attention from the media. I mean, I know it's sad to say this, but is it really all that rare for a kid to get kidnapped or murdered. I mean, I just did some quick research and found that about 800,000 kids under the age of 18 are kidnapped and 700 kids under the age of 12 are murdered each year in the United States alone. Can somebody explain why the media latches on so vigorously to one of these stories every once in a while even though situations like these are not really that uncommon?
