Okay, is it just me, or are A. people vanishing more than they used to, or B. Has the media taken a sudden interest in this....?

First we had the bogus runaway bride, the woman in Aruba, the horrible murder in Florida, etc.

But it seems like for the first time ever, every time somebody disappears, not only is it on the news, but all of the 24 hr. cable networks are covering it, and the talking head programs are even debating it.

I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad thing, but why now? Why has something that once seemed so local turned into national news? Are the networks starved for stories? Are we all neurotic and paranoid like Michael Moore said?
