I spoke with a friend out of state today and this case is not being covered at all where she lives. Not everyone watches NG. In addition, I did say my post was total speculation. I have no idea really how this all came about but I will wait until I have further information before I pass judgement.
Seranade, I am in AUSTRALIA and there is coverage here. We dont have NG on any channel (i watch it on the net THANKS PATTYG!!!!! and gorgous wee Micha of course) and STILL we hear about this case.
I have a sister in New Zealand who told me it has had coverage there. Its because of the total insanity of what is going on and the fact that there has never been anything like this before, jmho.
