CNN was looking for a more gruesome ending in the three missing boys case

[Jara sang]

Seems to me that CNN was anticipating a more horrible outcome to the case of three missing boys in New Jersey, who's death's have been ruled out as accidental after an autopsy. I mean what kind of story is "accidental"? They were chomping at the bit for investigators to announce that they were pursuing a suspect and the suspect was a deranged psychopath or child molester.

So a few summers ago was the 'Summer of the Shark". Looks like this summer will be the "Summer of Abducted Children" Anything to keep the fear machine rolling. Shame on you CNN.

6. Accidental?

Gruesome. Why DIDN"T the search include inspection of trunk of car initially? Oversight? Incompetence? Whatever, it is still a horror.

7. Funny how people are demanding such competence from Aruba

yet the cops in NJ seriously dropped the ball in this case.

8. as a parent and grandparent -

the car and car trunk would be one of the first places I would look.

9. Yes

I agree. I wonder if the latest run of TV news stories re: children facilitated overlooking the obvious.
