I have no idea what happened to the missing child. More important, neither does Nancy Grace. But the principle of her show is "guilty until proven innocent" and if a jury acquits, "guilty" anyway. This time, a possible suspect is dead possibly because of Grace. And a critical witness is no longer alive to help investigators. If you haven't seen the movie "Network" lately, it's worth renting again.
