I suspect you might be right on that UT...we'd have to look at the stats to see if there has been any sort of spike.
But if we go with that...why all of a sudden is the media gravitating towards these? An attempt to get us past 9/11 or the economy? Time filler? (After all, this is generally the slow season for news.) Sure, any disappearance is horrible, but in reality, who the fuck really cares if one girl was taken from the Los Angeles area? I would imagine that several more have disappeared since that girl was found dead.
But regardless of the why, I am curious as to how the kids themselves are feeling. When you're 8 years old, and you see this shit on TV, I would imagine that some are damned near terrified.
