Olamide Adeyooye, a "gregarious" Illinois State University laboratory sciences major from west suburban Berkeley, age 21. Missing from Normal since last Thursday night. Told her boyfriend (who was on tour with his band) that she was staying in that night.
Lights, television, fan on in her apartment. Food in the microwave. Cell phone on the couch. Didn't show up for work the next day, or classes the following Monday. Never contacted friends. Still, the police didn't seem to think it was a real problem.
More here and here. As far as I know, this has really only gotten press in central Illinois and Chicago. Yes, you know what I'm thinking. If she were white (and as a bonus, pregnant), her picture would be crowding out Patrick Fitzgerald and Harriet Miers on news channels everywhere. But, no, for the mainstream media she's barely a blip. Maybe if the blogosphere makes enough noise, someone out there will pay attention.
