I see the point this article is trying to make, but I think it overlooks the obvious connection between these women -- their stories are sensational. A missing pregnant woman and a runaway bride? C'mon, that sounds like it came from a movie. There are plenty of other white women who go missing whose stories don't get that kind of attention because they are fairly conventional and unsensational for media purposes. I think the primary goal of any media is to sell stories, and the weird, unusual and sensational tends to sell better than the ordinary, typical and mundane. The media execs are first and foremost concerned with making money, and not necessarily with the race of the victim.
