It's a great distraction from the war, that's for sure.
Granted, no girl who goes and does those sorts of things - or doesn't, sure as hell doesn't deserve to be murdered.
But let's be honest...THOUSANDS of Americans go missing here at home or out of the country every year and they don't get this sort of press. It's always someone's little white girl, if that's ever the case...and it's not even that much. Yes, her mom is trying to make her look all "Little Miss Good Girl"...what kind of group of adults and parents go leaving a country without one of their own students and doesn't say a word until they get home? Has she always been known to be never where she says she is? I don't know...looks shady from all things we're shown. Of course it doesn't justify murder at all, but we BARELY ever hear that much coverage LOCALLY, let alone nationally.
All this garden variety crime usually covered in the local arena is getting national coverage constantly one after another...Hacking, Peterson, Holloway, the nutty runaway bride...it's the media keeping the ball rolling for ratings whenever the war hits a slump or the military doesn't want the press in on the latest scoop. I'm not being a partisan hack or anything, but look at the whole picture.
As for the video being her...looks like pure bunk. And a weak blow job at best.
