Dear Ms. Grace,
Latoyia Figueroa is still missing after 8 days. And as tragic as the Natalee Holloway case might be, Natalee doesn't have a seven year old child wondering where she is, nor was Natalee (to the best of our knowledge) 5 months pregnant.
Here's an overview of the important details in this “missing woman” case:
1) Latoyia (we should only use her first name) is not white.
2) She does not have blonde hair.
3) She was not scheduled to get married last weekend.
4) She's from West Philadelphia.
5) There may actually be a lead or two in her case.
6) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.
7) To the best of our knowledge, no one from Texas has yet offered to bring in cadaver dogs to search for Latoyia, nor have forensic dive teams volunteered to scour the Schuylkill or Delaware rivers.
8 ) Also to the best of our knowledge, the FBI hasn't been requested to participate in the investigation (even though Philly actually is in the US of A), nor have any DNA samples been rushed to Washington, DC.
9) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.
I hope this enough for you to run with - certainly, the crackerjack CNN research team available to you can fill in any speculative details or obscure leads of prurient interest. While it's doubtful that Latoyia's family can offer $100 reward, much less $1 million (as has Natalee's), I'm sure they'd still have an undying gratitude for any of your viewers who could turn up a lead on Latoyia.
Oh, and here's a picture of Latoyia, in case you need one when you run your full hour show devoted to Latoyia. I'm sure her family can provide more.
Lastly, I note that “Natalee Holloway” rates “about 5600” Google News hits, while “Latoyia Figueroa” rates two. Here's hoping your show and CNN's website can contribute another hit for Latoyia.
I look forward to watching the show!
Sincerely,
Richard

CNN and MSNBC have had exceptional coverage of all the missing white women, even daily coverage when there's nothing new to report but missing people of color get little coverage at the national level despite the fact most missing persons are male & missing persons are also disproportionately black.
Richard's also started a little blogswarm to get bloggers to talk this up and get folks to send emails to Nancy Grace at CNN (I sent one to her and one to the folks at MSNBCs Abrams Report). He's also set up a reward fund with the Philly Citizens Crime Comission.
This is Latoyia
she is 24 years old with a 7-year old daughter and is 5 months pregnant with her second child.
She is no less beautiful, worthy or compelling than Natalee Holloway, Laci Peterson or "runaway bride" Jennifer Wilbanks (who continued to get a lot of attention even after it was revealed she was far from a victim).
Please check out Richard's posts at ASZ.
Terence Heath has also covered this at Republic of T
I've blogged it at The Disenchanted Forest
Please blog it, join in the email campaign to national media (Nancy Grace, Dan Abrams, etc.) and/or donate if you can.
