My cousin got lost in the mountians near Yosemite at the same time them tourists were killed. The police thought the two might be related and made a huuuuuge deal out of it. The news stations camped out at our house for 3 or 4 days, and the whole damn family was all over the news the whole time.
Even had neighbors who had never even met my cousin on the news cryin about how they hope she gets found.
Good news was she was found 26 hours later by a gay boy scout.
Side Note: Having a missing child is probably the worst thing that a family can ever go through.
