There is decades old feminist research that documents how female crime victims are sexualized, as fodder for purient entertainment.


There's also a sense of control. "Look at him, I knew right away something was wrong with him, therefore this could never happen to me". Except that he's a decent looking dude who looks just like everyone else, who could be considered attractive by many standards...


Have you noticed that the individuals involved in these types of crimes (both victim and murderer) are usually fairly attractive couples and often the murderer is engaged in an affair.


The ones that are publicized, you mean? It ups the public interest level when the people involved are rich and attractive.


So, are you saying that fat/unattractive people go missing under mysterious circumstances like this but the media doesn't report it because the missing person isn't attractive enough?

If Lacy Peterson had been ugly do you think that the whole thing would have been swept under the rug? I find that really hard to believe.


Lacy Peterson was pretty and she was white. Double whammy. If she had been black unfortunately it probably wouldn’t have gotten much press.

PP here. I've seen her name and know more but didn't want to post it here. Like others, I'm wondering what insight she might be able to share with the police.

The implication from this article is he may have been dating Jennifer before he was divorced since he married Jennifer a month after his marriage ended.

Does anyone actually doubt this?

“A report that aired on CNN noted the differences between the level of media coverage given to Caucasian women like Laci Peterson and Natalee Holloway, who disappeared in 2002 and 2005 respectively, and LaToyia Figueroa, a pregnant Black Hispanic woman. Figueroa disappeared in Philadelphia the same year Holloway disappeared. Figueroa and her unborn daughter were found murdered. The San Francisco Chronicle published an article detailing the disparity between the coverage of the Peterson case and that of Evelyn Hernandez, a Hispanic woman who was nine months pregnant when she disappeared in 2002.”

Evelyn Hernandez, a single mother who was 9 months pregnant, and her young son Alexis both disappeared. Her children's father was apparently married and not too thrilled that Evelyn was expecting again. At the time, it wasn't clear if Evelyn had voluntarily left the area with her son. When her decomposed body washed ashore that was when police knew that they were dealing with a homicide. Her little boy, Alexis, has never been found and as far as I know no one has been arrested in connection with their disappearances.

Lacy Peterson was a pregnant, married woman with a local and vocal family. When Lacy disappeared her concerned family members brought media attention to her disappearance, handed out flyers, etc.

I really do think that in a large number of these situations the family, not the police, brings these disappearances to the media's attention. The police start off assuming that the missing person disappeared willingly and had the right to leave if that is what they wanted to do. Then the family speaks up and says "Oh no, she would never just leave like that, we've got to find her" and the next thing you know search parties are being organized, missing person flyers are being posted everywhere and it's all over the news.

The news media is referring to Michelle Troconis as Fotis Dulos' mistress. They treat a married mother differently.

The missing wife and the ex-husband/suspect were both Brown graduates.

Troconis is the mistress. The media isn't making that up. That was well established before Jennifer went missing.

PP here. I agree. A previous post was noting that the murder of a pregnant, unmarried woman in a relationship with a married man was treated differently than Jennifer Dulos and Laci Peterson.

Sounds like the girlfriend has flipped. She spent an hour with police at the Farmington property today.

Another girlfriend key to the investigation. Quelle surprise.

They were joined at one point by Michelle Troconis, who spent about an hour with investigators on the property. Troconis, who is free on bail, met with state police investigators and the state’s attorney on Thursday for several hours at her lawyer’s Westport office.

Here’s why. People are interested in unusual events. Unfortunately, an African American woman being killed or missing isn’t unusual to most people. They expect criminal activity from this group of people. It’s NOT expected for Ivy League graduates and married white women. So it’s newsworthy. If African Americans don’t have higher rates of violence then similar cases would also be on television.
