You know what gripes me about this case? Disparity of attention.

Case in point: Last September, when BYU coed Camille Cleverley went missing, it seemed like half the state dropped what they were doing to look for her. The media quite literally drooled over her.

Now, Michelle Erickson goes missing, and while the media has covered it reasonably well, the public and the cops don't seem to give a rat's patootie about it. It's like, "oh, well, whooptie do". Why the hell do the cops keep downplaying the idea of foul play???

I guess a single, blonde BYU coed is considered more sexy than a comparatively dowdy single mother of two kids. However, those two kids depended upon their mother, who is now missing.

Wake up, Utah! Michelle Erickson is just as important now as Camille Cleverley was back then.

Interesting but it sounds as if the police are doing all they can to locate her. If you want to organize a search, I am in. Just tell me where to start looking?? I am heart broken for her children but what more can be done at this point?
