I don't think it's blaming as much as she was an adult and made a choice to go to a party instead of where she told her mother that she was going that night. As an adult, legally, she has the right to go where she wants, and disappear if she wants. It took LE eleven hours to search that entire motel. A skeleton night shift at the motel would not have had the manpower to do that, nor would they likely have had the staff available to sift through hours, and hours, and floors and floors, of video tape. That's what detectives are now doing. Ya'll think it's just so simple to search for someone, and bam, their found. It's not. She was last seen on the camera, near the freezer, at 3:20 per the cctv footage. Her mother didn't get there until around 5:00 or 5:30, and by that time, even if everyone had dropped everything, gotten a warrant for the videos, and went door to door starting by 6:00 a.m., in her intoxicated state, it doesn't have a good ending. Would you think to check a deep freeze in the basement of a motel, under construction, first? I'd not. Drunk people do things that get themselves killed, every, single, day. This has nothing to do with race. Her own mother said she'd give it 24 hours before she'd file a missing person report when she talked to LE. It may, however, have something to do with whoever rented the room, for them to party in, and provided her alcohol, and/or any other drug. People are free to go and come as they please at age 18, but they aren't allowed to rent a room, or drink alcohol, until age 21, so if I were the one who provided either of those things, I'd be laying low.
