After the obsessive cross-network news coverage devoted to Natalee Holloway's disappearance, Richard Cranium writes a letter to one CNN host who covered the Holloway case to alert her to the disappearance of another woman, Latoyia Figueroa, the mother of a seven-year-old and 5 months pregnant:

TO: Ms. Nancy Grace, Headline News / CNN Host

Dear Ms. Grace,

Latoyia Figueroa is still missing after 8 days. And as tragic as the Natalee Holloway case might be, Natalee doesn't have a seven year old child wondering where she is, nor was Natalee (to the best of our knowledge) 5 months pregnant.

Here's an overview of the important details in this ‘missing woman’ case:

  1. Latoyia (we should only use her first name) is not white.

  2. She does not have blonde hair.

  3. She's from West Philadelphia.

  4. There may actually be a lead or two in her case.

  5. HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.

  6. To the best of our knowledge, no one from Texas has yet offered to bring in cadaver dogs to search for Latoyia, nor have forensic dive teams volunteered to scour the Schukyhill or Delaware rivers.

  7. Also to the best of our knowledge, the FBI hasn't been requested to participate in the investigation, nor have any DNA samples been rushed to Washington, DC.

  8. HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.

Read the rest. (All Spin Zone)
