"Missing and Ignored"

Spotlight skips cases of missing minorities

By Mark Memmott, USA TODAY

Tamika Huston's family reported her missing a year ago this week.

usatoday.com

Why doesn't the local news stations place all missing people in fine print with a one line description in the middle section of every newspaper or at the bottom middle of every local ezine for people to click on, every month for a week. Basically, a once a month list of who is missing every month - that's posted for an entire week. There are around 40k people missing in the USA, maybe 3 people per day per state. I like the idea some entrepreneurs had where they digitally pushpin bad crime areas. I say make all this stuff public and repeat the info so the pattern or trends are more obvious.

I think it would be really neat if CNN had a special link updated daily that reported all of the missing people per day - about 120/day in the USA. 10 graphics across and 12 rows with one line description each: name & street location they went missing. That would create a level of fairness. Additionally, people would be curious to see such a list - when have you ever seen a list of all the people missing on any given day? I bet none of us know which states or which locations have more missing people than others.

Regards,
Amy J
