CNN Bumps Story About Ten Missing Black Women for 1 Non-Black Woman | What About Our Daughters

Now Newsweek is telling their story and asking why the rest of the coutnry doesn’t know that there is a serial killer in North Carolina killing Black women. Most interesting is when they discuss Nancy Grace’s decision to bump this story from her show. As you know, Nancy Grace is the pied piper of missing and murdered women and children.

But the national media did show some interest in the story after it was revealed that five women were murdered in or around the town.“Nancy Grace called and wanted to have some of us on her show, but before it aired there was a white woman from Georgia that went missing. The Nancy Grace show was canceled,” Knight says. HLN network, which broadcasts Nancy Grace, confirmed that Knight was booked for the show, which was ultimately canceled to profile the disappearance of Kristi Cornwell, a white woman from Blairsville, Ga., who went missing during an evening walk. Representatives from Nancy Grace told NEWSWEEK, “The booking was changed due to news that was breaking that day,” and emphasized the change had nothing to do with the race of the victim.
