He's a special guy.

I'm not sure what you're looking for...what response.

I think everyone has given very good reasons why this case is more "interesting" than others, and therefore in the news more. There are many many missing children...they aren't all going to get the same amount of attention. The attention isn't about this child's life being more valuable...it's the circumstances of this case.
I heard about this case on the news, I think. Or the DIS.

I don't go to websleuths, ever, before the other thread (and the link didn't work), nor did I go to any other site about this case. I was drawn in by the 31 days and the grandmother's horrific 911 call.
I was drawn in by the very same things that drew in the media...the bizarre nature of this case, from day 1.
If the DIS didn't exist, and therefore this thread, I wouldn't be following the case to the extent that I am. There are lots of things I found out about first here, on the DIS.
