[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though she grew up in the US, goes to college in the US and her family lives in the US, the US government wouldn't help her parents when they contacted them. So they had to go to the Indian government to put pressure on the DR and lots of time was lost.

It's taken 3 days for this to hit the media. She's a lovely, brilliant young woman - hope they find her.[/quote]

The only people who can have a big impact on this are people in the exact place where she went missing.

People think all the media coverage helps but I don't think it does at all.  It's just voyeuristic horror stories to frighten ourselves with.  All that Natalee Holloway coverage didn't do a bit of good.  Her killer wasn't busted and he reoffended.

What helps are police and other people on the ground.

And right now our fed.govt. is in a mess so I wouldn't be hoping for speedy, effective diplomacy right now...and even if it was effective...only people who saw her, maybe the local telecom if people nearby were producing phone data, and anyone involved in however she disappeared can help.  So at best US diplomatic pressure might hurry up some data analysis.  It wouldn't bring this poor girl home alive.
