Missing Pregnant 25 YO Mother Alert (Non-White Division)
TO: Ms. Nancy Grace, Headline News / CNN Host

Dear Ms. Grace,

Latoyia Figueroa is still missing after 8 days. And as tragic as the Natalee Holloway case might be, Natalee doesn't have a seven year old child wondering where she is, nor was Natalee (to the best of our knowledge) 5 months pregnant.

Here's an overview of the important details in this “missing woman” case:

1) Latoyia (we should only use her first name) is not white.
2) She does not have blonde hair.
3) She was not scheduled to get married last weekend.
4) She's from West Philadelphia.
5) There may actually be a lead or two in her case.
6) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.
7) To the best of our knowledge, no one from Texas has yet offered to bring in cadaver dogs to search for Latoyia, nor have forensic dive teams volunteered to scour the Schuylkill or Delaware rivers.
8 ) Also to the best of our knowledge, the FBI hasn't been requested to participate in the investigation (even though Philly actually is in the US of A), nor have any DNA samples been rushed to Washington, DC.
9) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.

1. Thank you. Awesome post
There are thousands of missing people in this country. Most are children. Why do white blond chicks always get priority on American television? LOL. What a joke.

8. I don't know,
but I'm going to lighten my hair a little more, so if I turn up missing one day, people might care. :shrug:

23. I told my husband that if I ever turn up missing,
tell the authorities that I'm pregnant, and assign a trendy name to our little fetus. That's about the only way anyone will give a damn.

I don't care for Nancy Grace at all, but everybody is running this Natalee Holloway case into the ground.

13. I don't understand why you hate that revolting, pig-nosed, bleach
blond, unprincipled, jackal of a drawling, yammering witch.

Could you please tell me why?

:-)

18. I second that...
I recall changing the channels couple of months ago and poised to see what was being discussed on her show....someone who was a guest on her show mentioned doing research in the internet and said "you can find it easily all that information if know the URL"..she then immediately said, "and what is URL?"..I assumed her producer must of told her in her ear piece what URL meant..she giggled nervously and then said "of course, I thought you meant something else, but I am not an internet fan, but go ahead". lol

5. Ruh roh
If NancyDancy reads that, she'll get all "looking at you out of the side of her eyes" and tilting her little pig nose up in the air and start yammering in that annoying Georgia clipped drawl thing she's got going and you will be melted.

11. Well done
I'm glad you posted it here....I'm going to mention the name again

Latoyia Figueroa is still missing so maybe it will end up as another hit on google....

I'm thinking there needs to be another cable specialty network devoted ENTIRELY to missing persons. No favortism. No racial "purity". Just every missing individual gets air time.

12. Who is her fan base?
Even the conservatives I know hate Nancy Grace. Everyone I know hates her, and she is universally revilled up and down the Internet(s). So who the hell is her fan base?

24. Somebody must be watching her. Otherwise, she would be out
of the job.

16. "A damsel must be white. This requirment is nonnegotiable."
This is an interesting take on the issue...

http://blogs.chron.com/aboutchron/archives/2005/07/_the_disappeara.html
"Several columnists have written that if a missing person meets a certain criteria, the coverage likely will be exhausting. Eugene Robinson explains it better than I:

A damsel must be white. This requirement is nonnegotiable. It helps if her frame is of dimensions that breathless cable television reporters can credibly describe as "petite," and it also helps if she's the kind of woman who wouldn't really mind being called "petite," a woman with a good deal of princess in her personality. She must be attractive _ also nonnegotiable. Her economic status should be middle class or higher, but an exception can be made in the case of wartime (see: Lynch).

I get where Robinson is coming from. Many Americans of all races and backgrounds have heartfelt sympathy for the Holloway family. No one wants to be in their place. However, the complaint is not with the Holloway family or any family that might have a loved one missing. Robinson's arrow is directed at newsroom managers who make the decisions to go over the top for one missing person instead of another, perhaps based on race or class. Either way, it's wrong. It's a credibility issue. And readers and viewers keep score."

19. You ought to send this to
Joe Scarborough also. He has covered Natalee for 2 months straight now. Last night, he was reporting that she was sighted in Venezuela. :eyes:

20. Thank you for posting this. It makes me sick, all the attention that is
paid to attractive white women who go missing...not that I don't sympathize with the families and all, but what about all the stories like this one, that get no attention?
Pisses me off. Really really does.
It's like all the media attention on Terri Schiavo and the handful of protesters, and the ZERO attention for Sun Hudson.
Sick.

25. Holloway = no other distractions available.
If something else was on the burner she would be old news, instead we get missing girl.. Aruba Day 50, 60 etc.

Unfortunately for the sheep herders, its been awhile since a celebrity has killed someone/drove drunk and Democrats haven't said anything recently that can be twisted around and distorted to make them look bad.

28. Nancy Grace makes me sick BUT, I would..................
Do and say what it takes to get this poor lady some help. What a great idea to start a site to get attention for cases like this. And probably easier to solve than a woman in aruba, This is in our back-yard. I dont have much but Ill donate a small sum to help the reward.
