That just isn't right or fair.

It does appear that all (or certainly most) of the missing person cases that hit national news are white women but how many have made it to the news? I can think of only two this year and none last year. With over 600,000 missing persons each year, there are a lot of cases that don't get on national news, including a large number of missing white women.
It would be interesting to look into why a particular case draws national attention. Perhaps it helps if the missing person is a young white female but there are a lot of young white females missing right now that aren't on national news.
