A lot of people think that one life is less of a loss than another. That's why some stories are more sellable than others. Nancy Grace, et al only go based on what the viewers want to hear about.

What it takes is seeing patterns in what people say and looking at what is embedded in what people say (i.e. "she was so pretty" or "she would've been something"). You can not go by the niceties in what people literally say because most people want to see themselves as nice people who would never think and say that some lives are more valuable than others.
