Prominent attorney missing since Wednesday found alive!

I didn't even hear about this story until this morning. An attorney from Toledo, Ohio has been missing since this past Wednesday. Karyn McConnell-Hancock never picked up her son from daycare on Wednesday prompting her husband to file a missing person report with the police department. Thankfully, she was found just this morning about 12 minutes from my house near Six Flags Over Georgia.

Greta's been on the story for a couple of days as well.

RIP, Latasha Norman (1987 - 2007)

Her life and well-being was considered very valuable to very many people. Just as valuable, in fact, as the life of Natalee Holloway, Stacy Peterson, and a host of other missing young Caucasian women who have received constant national news coverage. Her contributions to this world in her very short life won't be forgotten and have touched many people.

Story here.

By the way, I haven't forgotten about my intentions to create a thoughtful, intensive post about this. It's coming. :-)

Coming soon...

I'm doing research right now (in what little spare time I have) on the media coverage of missing persons. This topic has been discussed ad nauseum since I was a little girl, yet nothing seems to have changed. Sometimes talking about it (even if only 1 or 2 people are listening) can be a good start.

In the meantime, check out this article.
