We hear all about Laci Peterson, we get daily updates on Natalee Holloway, back before her body was found we got inundated with news about Chandra Levy.
Ever heard of Latoyia Figueroa? Probably not. Seems she doesn't fit the mainstream media's "this will sell papers and get people to watch us on the tube" model.
From Wired, we learn of a blogger effort to raise awareness of the pregnant mother of one who has been missing since mid-July. While any missing persons case is sad, it's interesting what cases get big national attention...what made Holloway so special that her case gets coverage on par with the death of kings and the war in Iraq, while Latoyia gets "section B" coverage?
Keep looking for her in the news, hopefully when she's safely back home. And keep an eye out, if you are in her area.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Philadelphia Southwest detective division at 215-686-3183.
