Four childhood slayings in five days in St. Louis. I cannot imagine a much bigger story than a string of murders of children. Yet it is getting little play in the national news.
One each day for three days -- Saturday, Sunday, Monday -- and then a skip before the fourth one tonight (Wednesday).
I wonder on why it isn't getting bigger play. The latest is being classed as a suspicious death, rather than a homicide. Another is being investigated as being a possible suicide, in addition to the possibility it is a homicide.
I do believe how loud the police ring the bells -- or how much they downplay things -- is a factor.
