Ugh,

What a mess.

Between the 'media leaks' and the stupid chancellor/head of the school?

This is a perfect example of everyone stepping over each other to 'get the story straight'.

Unfortunately, the media reports started out with the runaway bride scenario-she was categorized as missing person, a woman who was going to get married and got cold feet. Because she left her personal belongings behind, it took a more sinister turn.

Then a video tape examination shows her enter a building and never coming out.

---------------------


The campus police were the first to look into the disappearance, then local cops and the feds show up.

The CP or any 'private police force' are always at odds with the local constabulary, it's the nature of the beast. The smaller private force wants to prove that they are capable of providing a secure atmosphere and the regular cops look down on anyone except their own.

Then you have the overzealous school officials who make statements that are do not help the situation.

School officials panic because they don't want the negative publicity for the institution. They go overboard defending their charges/students and fear the bad press that comes with any incident.

I heard a report that the cops were going to hold two-a-day press conferences to keep the speculation and the statements by school officials to a minimum.

There is going to be a backlash in this case against the school.

While there is no way to have predicted this tragedy, the resulting media circus around this case is predictable far from over.
