Sounds like you need to question the media about that.

It depends on where you are looking-- They walked for the ‘Unforgotten 51’ and all other Black women murdered or missing in Chicago | Fountain - Chicago Sun-Times

Only if you take the bait. Some of us just don’t let others set the agenda.

Without using Google, can you name one unarmed white person who's been killed by police that receive any serious media attention?

Oh you are so clever. It's not bait.

So now it has been determined that she was killed. And the police can’t locate the boyfriend.

While based on the current known facts, my gut says that he killed her, but I can also imagine a half-dozen scenarios he and his lawyers could throw out that could cast doubt on a unanimous guilty verdict (beyond a reasonable doubt), so I have this bad feeling that he might get away with it. I really hope I'm wrong, on all accounts, but I don't think I am. I do feel his parents should be held accountable though, for their actions, or more specifically - their lack of actions. Just my $.02.

I'm always "thanking" you, by the way. Probably half of your "thanks" are from me. I just seem to like what you say more often than not! :coolsmiley:

Anyway, I digress... I haven't followed this story and don't know who these people are. Are they famous in some way, other than from this latest event? I'm sure there are many young women that go missing, some eventually found dead, and you don't hear about them unless it happens in your locale.

My immediate thought was the boyfriend was guilty but then I remembered the book/movie "Gone Girl". If you know it, then you will agree that things aren't always what they seem. But now they have found her body so that theory is out the window.

And pay no attention to the race-baiting, they're just trolling TOTV to get a rise out of people and stir up controversy. Why else would you make such ridiculous, non-pertinent comments?

"It's not bait."

It's definitely "not bait," it is simply a fact. The 'young, pretty white women' get a lot more media/people attention, than women of color (or indigenous women) who are abducted and/or murdered. A lot of the scumbag perpetrators know this fact and often target young women of color - to carry out their heinous acts. One only has to ask themselves how many white women they have heard of who have been abducted and become big news - compared to minority women. :(

White people are more common in the U.S.

Sexual predators have their own fantasies according to the true crime I watch. Some have to do with race and some do not.


I was very timid and insecure as a young woman but I knew enough to stay far away from over directive, bossy, harsh and cold men.

They seem to be working on the problem. Native American women face an epidemic of violence. A legal loophole prevents prosecutions.

Video of the couple shows, as far as appearance goes, since that’s all the video shows, she was way “out of his league” as high school kids would say. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
