Human interest and mysterious crime stories - SELL. I'm pretty sure a lot of those who decry the publicity this particular story is getting, were riveted by one or more of the Charles Manson/O.J. Simpson/Lacy Peterson/Amanda Knox/Etc..Etc. stories. What makes this one tough, is that there isn't a body yet to prove a crime and since prosecutors usually only get one bite at the apple, it can be frustrating if the 'person of interest' can't be found - or won't talk.
