distraction, years ago - i called the media coverage of the case a huge distraction, god bless the potato family, we should pray for gabby s return, this was the day before the body was found that people are drawn to these true crime stories like lifetime movies but they are largely local stories and the media attention to gabby s case makes one think she s the only missing person in the country, this is the fbi s kidnapped are missing persons page. is at the end of last year there were more than 89,000 active missing person files, 34% under 18. this is a real problem, the stories should be reported, locally, without for the pain of these families, god bless nancy grayson john walsh you made this a crusade. every soul is precious but my point is we can t affect the outcome of this criminal case. it crowds out issues like inflation and the border search and the $3.5 trillion spending bill your children s children will be paying the could reshape
