This story get airtime because it is every parent's nightmare. If Fox were not reporting on this, I'm sure the boys would have gotten away with a coverup by blaming the two security guards. While I wish Fox didn't have to be so persistent, I am glad they are because if I were in the same position, with a missing daughter or son, I would be creating as big a stink and pray that the media take an interest because of two reasons - being in a foreign country and the suspects being well connected and rich. While you are sick of the news being focused on the search for one person - maybe you should look at it in the sense that finding the truth may prevent others from the same fate. If the father was complicent - then what does that say about his sense of fair play within Aruba's justice system - justice meted out to everyone except those who are entitled?

If the girl was fat and acne-pocked the airtime would be far more limited.

I'm not sure I'd call any of the rich. I also wouldn't call Deepak and Satish 'connected'.

finding the truth may prevent others from the same fate.

Warning young women to stay in groups and to not go off with newly met males would help, too.

"justice meted out to everyone except those who are entitled?"

I don't know about that ... the Caribbean is a drug gateway. I think they don't bother to prosecute anyone so they can claim a "low crime rate" and keep Americans believing this is the new Garden of Eden.
