Speaking from a strictly rational, demographic perspective, the results don't surprise me. Sadly, a lot of people only read the lurid information and immediate disconnect when they see the "married man cheating with young woman" articles. They like the soundbite, but they don't empathize or form an emotional connection with the missing person. Had HE been found, beaten or dead, it would have been a somewhat different reaction. In this case all of the TM self promotion and ridiculous postings also turned a lot of people off. It is such a heartbreaking case and Heather deserves so much more. I'm grateful there are still so many of us working toward justice for her.
