So, Joe had her killed , framed the boyfriend, all to distract ?
Dont think the OP mentioned this at all. Its the media that is distracting. You think women dont go missing every day?
Media just waits for the right time to play the story cause they know the country will watch.

This. Dateline, 48 Hours, ID Channel, etc have been covering similar murder mysteries for over three decades, and not all of the cases received national media coverage.
They pick the "right" one when it's useful as a distraction or for easy ratings.

I never claimed that was the case. Which is why I asked, for clarification.

2 entirely different matters. Yes, the MEDIA will try to hype this story up, but these sorts of mysteries happen from time to time, and generally have a following on their own, organically.
As for missing women and young girls, I recall the previous administration cracking down on forced prostitution, just as one example, but the media turned its attention away , because....

Unlike the Jessie Smollett staged attack ( with likely ties to Kamala Harris ) this story involves a real girl ending up dead.
It's notable on itself, and has a natural audience. Same sorts of folks who gravitated towards the Jon Benet Ramsey murder, Casey Anthony and the murder of her young daughter Caylee, etc...
I dismiss the view that the media is hyping this story up for reasons other than basic tabloid draw. I think any time a young woman ends up dead and her YouTube co-star / fiancé also goes missing after being named a person of interest would make for a major story. Look for a TV movie before 2022 is over.
