Maybe not, but it is getting coverage here because she worked in DC and owned a house in Chevy Chase. It's local news.

We’re not allowed to talk about white women being murdered?! But we are allowed to hate on them???
What in the holy h7ll??
Listen to yourselves.

Cleaning supplies valued at $450 is a lot of cleaning supplies!!!
How in the heck did the police manage to find any blood after he used $450 worth of cleaning supplies?!?
Because people aren't professional crime scene cleaners.
I subscribe to an OF of a biohazard cleaning company. They were doing a reclean of a suicide location because some friends of the family who lost a loved one thought they could do it. They thought they did a great job until the family came home and found bits of flesh and bone in places the friends didn't even think to look/clean (ie: decorations on the wall, top of the fridge, fruit bowl).

I was thinking the same thing. I can see why this would be a big story in Boston but not a national story. I wish more attention were given to the missing/murdered Native American women. Guess they're just not as telegenic or sympathy-worthy.

If you think it is, then maybe you should be spreading the word, instead of disparaging and judging others.
People follow what they identify with - it is not rocket science.
Stop showing up on each of these threads with the same old tired trope - do something about it - spread the word in other ways, to other boards/sources! Your coming here and trying to disparge and judge the people who read this site is only hurting your message.
You're right. It's not rocket science. It's racism. It's a shame that you, and others like you, only see the tragedies/issues of those you identify with. It's a shame you can't find anything about Native women to identify with - if nothing else, they are human.
I mean honestly it is actually more like human nature. When presented with two cases of women being abducted most people will feel the same way. But when you have news media run by predominantly white people, then when an attractive white woman goes missing, most of the news media relates to her, literally relates to her (I TOO am a middle aged white mom who is attractive with children, this could happen to ME), and so it gets obsessed over. I don't think being affected by something happening to someone very similar to you is racism, I think that is just how human brains work.
The fact that WOC are less represented NATIONALLY and broadly has to do with systemic racism which is what happens when this phenomenon takes place in hiring. People naturally hire people who seem like them for the same reasons. And when this phenomenon repeats then you have no representation in the media and then no one relates with the WOC so they are promoted less.
IMO attributing this to individualized racist thoughts really hampers the ability to solve the problem because it really isn't about people racistly not caring about WOC, it is about 100 tiny little decisions along the way that come from very subtle bias that changes the direction of the conversation. Its about every rock that makes a river bend, not the last rock that has no idea why the river chose it.
I think PP was saying that if you want to change it you should try posting about missing WOC, elevate their voices so people hear them. Because it is the rare person that will go LOOKING for sad stories, most people just react to what the media apparatus puts in front of us.
It's distressing that you don't recognize how you consume and amplify the end product of racism. Even if you, yourself, aren't racist, by amplifying and exclaiming about this story - to the neglect of other stories - you, and others like you, are supporting and reinforcing the decisions of a racist system.
You and PPs are telling me that and the other posters that we should be doing more about it. Yet, while acknowledging the systemic racism, you refuse to be held accountable for your part it in. smh
I'm done.

Unfortunately, women of color are treated terribly and victims of crime more than UMC white women. White women like this woman are featured in the news because the story is unusual. UMC white women rarely are murdered. It’s shocking. Sadly, a woman of color being murdered by a spouse isn’t as interesting of a story. If crime were very low in say the African American community, then it also would be a huge news story when a black woman is murdered or goes missing.
Overall numbers, no. Why are you trying to pit WOC against white women? WTF is wrong with you? Women are victims of partner murder everyday. Coming on here and saying we shouldn't care about this case and how nobody cares when WOC are murdered is absolutely insane.

The husband is a piece of work. Read the sentencing memo from the prosecution in his current case, the Andy Warhol fraud. His mother has given him 100's of thousands of dollars and his wife pays all the bills. And when his father died, he destroyed his father's will (because it gave him no money), got himself appointed personal representative of the estate and appears to have stolen from the estate. (BTW the husband's father was a famous neurologist in Boston - https://www.brighamandwomens.org/neurology/general-neurology/tribute-dr-walshe)

Cleaning supplies valued at $450 is a lot of cleaning supplies!!!
How in the heck did the police manage to find any blood after he used $450 worth of cleaning supplies?!?
I don’t think he had a lot of cleaning experience. He bought a mop and bucket, some cleaning products, drop clothes and tape. Mopping isnt an ideal way to clean up a murder. They also found a knife with blood on it in the basement. He doesn’t seem to have been very organized or thorough in his clean up efforts.

I think this is one reason why the white women disappearing get more press. They almost always fetch the guy because it’s almost always the husband. It’s an easy story to write.
