[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people comment on the husband's looks because they expect monsters to look different than other people. They are surprised (and maybe scared) that they might have dated a guy that looked like that.

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

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... [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

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.[/quote]

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.”
