Many families who have had children go missing make enormous efforts to make sure the missing child isn't forgotten. It's just much easier to stay in the spotlight when you're affluent and white.

It is at MBHS, and it means she loaded her schedule with APs. It's a public school, but it IS a difficult school. I know she was in the NHS and the math honor society, and a couple of others. Basically, yes, she was a very hard worker, and her academic achievements were something to be proud of.
I've heard this many times over the years, and my response is, this isn't a fair world, and yes being white and pretty helped her stay in the news. It's naive to think it didn't. But that doesn't mean she didn't deserve the attention/sympathy/work her family did to find her.
PS-The movie is on Lifetime.
