The Jessie Davis murder is sad, but so is the case of Stepha Henry. . .
Unfortunately Stepha Henry made the mistake of being Black. I hate to be so cynical and controversial so close to the finding of Jessie's body, but I'm pissed off by the way the media covers certain missing woman cases, while ignoring others. Do you think if she got the same attention they might have found her by now dead or alive?

New Witness Comes Forward In Case Of Missing Woman
MIAMI -- The last images of 22-year-old Stepha Henry were captured in a promotions company video that police said they now consider evidence in the case.

Henry, a New York resident who was visiting South Florida, was last seen on May 29 at the Peppers Cafe in Sunrise.

A new witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said he saw Henry leave the club with a group of people.

"It was three people, two females and her got into the car and left," the witness told NBC 6's Tisha Lewis.

1. Stepha's case has received coverage here in NY but I haven't heard it mentioned in
a few days.

I don't care what race etc a person is. The bottom line is that the violence toward Women in our country is unconscionable. This has to stop!

2. The cable news has been full of the Henry missing girl case.
I saw it on CNN and MSNBC and also on Nancy Grace. I suppose the urgently with this Davis case is they woman was pregnant and her house had been tossed. The little boy said his mother was fighting and turned over the furniture.

The police are still interviewing and looking into the Henry case. You are correct the Natalee hunt was getting ridiculous.

4. The Henry case has not received nearly as much coverage. . .
. . .and the ironic thing is that the coverage was about how the Henry case was not being covered.

5. I actually have seen her Mother on tv quite a bit and the circumstances
are different.. Miami's a big place..and she was out partying before her disappearance. Granted , there was probably foul play, but it's not the same as being home alone with your toddler, and then vanishing a week befor eyou are to give birth again..
