blonde hair, blue eyes

Hi,
I've seen in the papers lately about the murders of Ardeth Wood and Jennifer Teague... again. It's really too bad that these two girls were murdered. I can't help but think that because of their images - cute, blond hair, blue eyed girls - that the media has been covering their stories, almost non-stop, since their murders in 2003 and 2005. I've also read about those Carleton students that were killed in a car wreck on Heron Road the other night. Again, that's very saddening.

Does anyone reading this remember a girl that was murdered at the end of 2006? She was murdered in Gatineau. Her name was Kelly Morrisseau. Remember that? She was aboriginal, she had three kids, and was pregnant with her fourth. I read she was into drugs and prosititution though. So is it her lifestyle that warrants less attention? Or the fact that she is aboriginal? These are all young girls who've lost their lives. Why should some warrant more attention than others? Corruption in the media? Yeah, I think so too.
