Can We Have A DU Activism On Media Ignoring The Missing?
Over 2,000 missing children missing after Katrina, why are none of them getting the Natalee treatment. Why so many hours devoted to that one girl's story, and they are not even talking about the thousands missing after the hurricane. These are people who can possibly be found and helped, and they seem to be rushing on to "rebuilding," Chimpster's speech etc.

I have a missing (adult) friend and I haven't even heard any statistics on how many families are going through that.

1. Caught a story overnight about a sister looking for her bros body
Caught overnight on MSNBC or CNN (surfing). They lived near the coast. He stayed behind to watch their mother's house. The house fell down on him. The neighbors got back in and they wrapped his body in a sheet and put it in the bathtub and notified the NG when they saw them. The sister was told to stay out of the area so they were working the phones for days to try to find out what happened to him whether he was still in the house or what. She finally gave up and went in, the camera was following. Her brother and the bathtub is gone and is is not listed among the dead.
