In today’s 24-hour news cycle of the all-news TV networks and internet…organizations have a lot of time and space to fill.

How better than hourly (daily, monthly, yearly…) updates on old stories?

Or in the case of missing children, or sensational murder cases…stories become national (or international) whereas before it would have been a local or perhaps regional story.

Of course, children disappeared years ago (nuts and perverts have always been out there) but the stories got little attention compared to today.
