The medias infatuation with a missing or dead girl because said victim was attractive, usually white and well-off.

Thousands of children, men and women are killed or go missing every day, however if it is a rich, attractive girl you will be forced to see and hear about it constantly until the only remedy is living under a rock or banging one's head into a concrete wall.
1st guy

Yo did you hear that Yolanda Rameriz and Shaniqua Q'uaneefa Jackson were kidnapped and killed last week?

2nd guy

Yeah I heard about it, but don't expect the government or the media to care. Both those girls are from the projects..

Oh yeah! The Natalee Holloway effect!
