At first I thought it was a good idea to keep Lonna off the newS, mainly because the audience will focus attention on tearing her down, distracting from Lonzie. This phenomenom occurs out of fear. We all want to feel safe in the belief that such horrors are completely preventable, "That could never happen to my child, because I am a good mother". That belief is easier to rationalize if we can convince ourselves that she is a "bad mother" and therefore at fault. Tearing her down is easier if we can have a look at her, folks will be talking about her hair color, jewelry, manicure and analyzing every facial expression.....none of that will help find Lonzie.
BUT at this point it is getting a little wierd. It is time for her to show her face and make a connection with the audience, plea for other witnesses to come forward.
AND it is important to hear from witnesses who saw Lonna that day. Witnesss may have looked right past WRE but noticed an attractive young woman. They may recognize her once they see her face and hear her voice on TV. If we are to assume she has told the truth, then eyewitness accounts of her activities will only bolster the case against WRE. If there is any possibility she was not truthful, then this information is even more important.
