Some truth to what PP is saying, yes?

No. It is about class not race. Your black UVA student? Yes. Your poor black girl from the Bronx or poor white girl from rural WV? No.

Exactly. I think a big chunk of C'ville's economy is dependent on the university so they will put a lot of resources into this case.

Although I thought the amount UVA contributed to the reward was pretty paltry.

True. Relisha got a lot more air time than the missing Hoggle children (and there are 2 of them).

Wow, this thread has taken a weird turn. If my daughter was missing, regardless of whether white, brown or purple, I'd want the cops to be spending the same effort they are on Hannah. Can't believe people are complaining about this-- a new low.

Where is she?!?! If JM did it, he should have the decency to say where she is.

Seriously, tell me of instances when a missing black girl/daughter has received the sort of publicity and media attention that HG's case has received - or for that matter the attention that various white missing women in similar circumstances gets almost without exception.

And in this instance we have a missing white woman and the suspect is a large black man - and the racism directed against this guy is striking.

So don't pretend that a missing white woman does not get a lot more attention and publicity than does a missing black woman.

Tell me a time that a black college sophomore has gone missing from a huge school like UVa? The school dominates that town and the economy -- they would look for any student that went missing -- white or black, guy or girl.

Racism directed against him is striking -- really?? Can black people ever take responsibility for anything or allow another black person to take responsibility, ever? She was seen getting in his car; there was an account of how he acted all night long. Trust me if a white dude of that size acted that way with women and then took a college soph home who was never found -- there would be plenty said about him and much of it would be from white people who would not be defending his actions the way blacks always do for blacks.

Relisha was a child, and her disappearance occurred in a city with majority AA, with AA outlets and news commentators. Haven lived in Florida, Relisha would not have received a tenth of the publicity she received in DC.

I hope they find Hannah and all the Hannahs regardless of race or socio-economic class.

What happens now in the legal process? Now that he has lawyers -- are they interrogating him? Can he just refuse to answer anything he doesn't want to answer -- like where she is?

Major news sources, including CBS News, reported the same thing -- more accurately he was accused of rape and while no criminal charges we filed he was expelled over the incident.

How's that crow taste? Do you like it roasted, or baked in a pie with vegetables and a cream sauce?!

How did my favorite tasty bird get dragged into this? Don't steal my crow!

They are biracial not white.

It's strange that they haven't been able to narrow down possible search areas based on network cell phone location data from that night - hers and his. By now they would have had a warrant for that.

I'm wondering if they have searched nearby areas like Croett.

What about that loser young white mother who was tried for her daughter's murder? The one who supposedly researched killing methods on the internet and prosecutors alleged just wanted her daughter gone so she could do out and party? That kept cable TV and especially Nancy Grace going for about a year. It's not always about being black, you know.
