I can't help but think this is the Utah version of Lacie Peterson. I think the husband could have had something to do with it. I heard they found a knife in the house that had blood on it

I personally think he checked himself in to the psych ward so that he could build a case for an insanity plea. It seems clever but it's a cheap trick that any judge or good jury will see straight through!
The fact that they found her hair in a garbage bin near the mattress store where her husband bought a mattress very soon after her disappearance/murder is also pretty damning to his case. Not to mention his lying about going to medical school and various other falsehoods. He seems a few bricks short of a load.
Things like this make me very sad.

People go missing every day.
Why should anyone care this time more than other times? I don't want to sound insensative, but this crap taking up time on our "news" shows is ridiculous when there are American soldiers fighting in two different theaters and a presidential election underway.

Good point. But they are an attractive, White couple. And the fact that she is pregnant makes it even more urgent. I hate to say it but I think she's dead.

Yes, exactly. Although I do find the Lacey Peterson case interesting, the only reason we've heard about it is that she was attractive and pregnant.

Not the luminol! Wonder why he killed her? Maybe she found out he didn't get into med school.

Sicker things have happened. This stuff is tame compared to other things that go on every single day.

This story is very sad. Terrible crimes do occur everyday, but for some reason certain crimes just seem to resonate and hold our attention as a country. There is just something so tragic about a pregnant woman being kidnapped or missing and presumed murdered.
During the time when Laci Peterson was missing, I read that the number one cause of death of pregnant women is murder by her husband or significant other. I think that these cases put attractive faces on this tragic statistic.

This does not even hold a candle to the sick crap that goes on every day in the rest of the world -- or even the rest of the nation.
That's my point. People are more aware about Laci Peterson than the slaughters going on in someplace like Sierra Leone.

News about blacks doesn't seem to sell well. How many times do you think the same thing that happened to Laci has happened to a black woman and there was nothing but silence?
It's one of the problems with a free media. They have to sell the news. Unfortunately, the news that sells is rarely the news that matters.

I have a better comparison:
The coverage of the abduction of Danielle Van Dam compared to the coverage of the abduction of Jahi Turner.
Never heard of Jahi? Yeah, thought so.
He's still missing, and he was abducted around the same time as Danielle.
After those first couple days, the media slowly moved on......
A cute little white girl who's parents are swingers and a murderer who liked child porn? RATINGS!!!!!!
An innocent African-American toddler living in the ghetto and his grandmother has flown across the country to find him? Naw, just another story.......
