Right. The late Laci Peterson. How about this one?

Right. The almost-certainly-late Natalee Holloway. How about this one?

Stumped, aren't you? Fidgeting uncomfortably because you know I set you up, aren't you? Don't worry; I couldn't pick her out of a lineup, either. That there is one Latoyia Figueroa, a pregnant woman from Philly who, yep, has been missing for a week now and who—despite the fact that her case echoes the Peterson situation—only now is getting the slightest trickle of media attention, now that black activists have been beating the media into a guilty white pulp for a week or so. And justifiably so. It appears that I need to amend my June 5 post—it's missing pretty white chicks who get the media all lathered.
