A confession of sorts "DMN Mckinney Murder column"

I actually enjoyed this column. I am not familiar with the work of Jacquielynn Floyd, however this article was just another quick reminder that "it could happen to you" Now a' days it's not uncommon for the "girl next door" to be murdered or kidnapped etc. I felt that what Jacquielynn was trying to prove, was the fact that not everyone has 'skeletons in their closet', or lives a double life in order to be a murder victim.

(("Frankly, I believe the publicity surrounding Ms. Walker's death is entirely understandable. We're drawn to people who are interesting , which Ms. Walker undeniably was. Our interest is geometrically intensified when interesting people are victims of shocking crimes."))

This statement is absolutely true. People are interested in the bold and the beautiful, the rich and famous...It's all sad but true. We live in a material, superficial world. This is one of the reasons why Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears make headlines. For example when Paris Hilton went to Jail for 23 days..That was HUGE!! (according to all of the news outlets) Paris Hiltons' jail sentence countdown was on most every news program in the country. Now that is sick! WHO CARES!!
