Missing White Woman Syndrome: The Abduction Of Eliza Fletcher!

Tennessee jogger goes missing. National coverage.

The city of Memphis and the nation are covering the latest incident involving a jogger who was abducted.

Three things that stick out to me:

1. Why are you jogging at 4am in Memphis? Normally, if you want to jog in the early morning, you would want to have a running partner, a flashlight, a cellphone and pepper spray.

2. This woman is a heiress. Not many in the city would know that or her patterns unless this could be an inside job.

3. How many women of color are missing in Memphis? That city is notorious for sex trafficking and usually girls under the ages of 18 are forced into becoming working girls. The junk food media never covers the missing women of color unless there's pressure from social media. 

Missing White Woman Syndrome is a culture war too. 

It is almost like clockwork in the junk food media. A young attractive white woman goes missing and the nonstop coverage of it begins. Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna want to see all missing persons found safely, regardless of color. However, we want the same amount of time spent to finding women of color, children, men and other women who never get the attention.

It's a real coined term to media coverage of missing white women who get nonstop coverage. You know more about this person than the thousands of people missing everyday.

In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size and youthfulness function as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women were more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past, while coverage of white women often tend to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters.

Black women and indigenous women are missing far more and yet they never get the attention that white women get. Think about Gabby Petito and the amount of attention she and her killer got.

Usually if the victim is a white woman and the suspect is Black or an immigrant, the Republicans will exploit the tragedy to encourage white nationalists to vote. 

Woman missing and media focus on husband.

The world may never see Colin Flaherty's rotten ass but there are more like him in the waiting. Believe me, Andy Ngo, Candace Owens, Kevin Jackson, Jesse Lee Peterson, Larry Elder and Michelle Malkin will suck the cock of white supremacy for a buck.

Authorities in Tennessee are searched for a woman who police said was abducted and forced into a vehicle early Friday while she was jogging near the University of Memphis campus.

Eliza Fletcher, 34, was last seen about 4:20 a.m. Friday, Memphis police said. She was jogging when a man approached her and forced her into an SUV after a brief struggle, university police said. She was reported missing when she did not return home from her regular morning run, authorities said.

Fletcher’s cellphone and water bottle were discovered in front of a house owned by the university, police said.

Memphis police and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation were searching for Fletcher. News outlets reported that she is a teacher at a private school.

Police on Saturday said they have found the SUV wanted in connection with Eliza Fletcher’s disappearance and have one man detained. It is unclear if that person is facing any charges at this time.

Fletcher has not yet been located, 36 hours after she was last seen on Central Avenue near the University of Memphis. Her family is offering a $50,000 reward for information.

Missing white woman syndrome is a phenomenon noted by social scientists and media commentators of the extensive media coverage, especially in television, of missing person cases involving young, white, upper-middle-class women or girls. Instances have been cited in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and South Africa.

The phenomenon is defined as the media's undue focus on upper-middle-class white women who disappear, with the disproportionate degree of coverage they receive being compared to cases of missing men, or women of color and of lower social classes.

Although the term was coined to describe disproportionate coverage of missing person cases, it is sometimes used to describe the disparity in news coverage of other violent crimes.

Missing white woman syndrome has led to a number of right-wing tough on crime measures that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed.

I mean I am amazed that for every dramatized event involving a missing white woman there's always someone waiting on making a movie or passing a law.
