What is the point of my post, you may ask, since it so clearly seems not to be political, and thus not really DU material in any way, shape, or form?

What is the point of ANY post, but to inform and/ or create discussion. Missing persons and the wrongly accuused deserve as much democratic consideration and justice as any other person.

Personally, I think they deserve it more so, because their voices (unless they are a young white college kid or white clean-cut mostly female rich person - for example, Smart, Sjodin, Levy, Peterson, Hacking etc.) are rarely heard from or written about or acknowledged in any way shape or form.

Do you know how many persons went missing in California at about the same time as Laci Peterson? Two that I know of specifically. One was hispanic (and also pregnant and also found murdered not too long AFTER Laci) and another was a prostitute, but guess which was talked about incessantly by the media?

And finally, missing persons and serial killers and miscarriages of justice are an example of why the budgets of LE (both here in the U.S and abroad) should be raised (and NOT just for homeland security) which is A VERY POLITICAL subject - in my opinion,

1. Scary!!!

I hope the woman recovers, physically and mentally; and I hope the attacker is caught before he harms anyone else.

2. Update: Man held following two sex attacks in Blackpool

Police were last night questioning a 35-year-old man in connection with two sex attacks, one of which resulted in a woman's tongue being bitten off. The man, who hasn't been named, was arrested in Ipswich late on Friday night following the attacks in Blackpool and Knutsford in the early hours of Friday morning.

Lancashire police launched a nationwide hunt for the attacker, who was driving a blue Vauxhall Astra. Police warned women everywhere to be on their guard and said the man must be caught "as a matter of urgency".

A member of the public spotted the car in a field in Ipswich on Friday evening. Local police found a 35-year-old man sleeping inside.

Detective Superintendent Ian Jones of Lancashire Police said the man had been arrested on suspicion of indecent assault and attem-pted abduction. He has been taken to Blackpool for questioning. Mr Jones said: "I would sincerely like to thank the person who made the call to the police."

Ipswich is quite a way away from Blackpool - the other end of England, basically (well, it's a long way for us, anyway).
