Is this the new favorite genre on news channels? I was just flipping through the big three news channels and every one of them had, at the same moment, a different missing person story. There was a story on Olivia Newton-John’s boyfriend, on another there was the story of a missing music producer in LA, Greta Van Susteren (with her strangely over-tightened face) told about a missing pregnant woman. I never watch these so-called news channels, so I haven’t been touched by the Natalie Holloway (is that her name?) fad; but it seems to me that suddenly the profit to be made from exploiting missing persons must be substantial.
