Still No ID on Found Body

But didn't they find a blue barrel close by too?

Also, is there any news on the Mya Lyons case? It makes my head explode that they haven't solved that murder. I thought for sure that they would have wrapped that case up within the month. Have they just swept it under the rug?

Is that the little girl they found murdered in the alley behind her house? I did almost forget about that heinous story. You are right, the Peterson case is the only case that gets national news. You have a brutally murdered little girl and you hear nothing about it after a couple of days.

I know, right? I have even written that wretched Nancy Grace several times because of the obsessive coverage she gives to that Kaylee Anthony murder. The whole country knows about the Anthony child and nobody remembers Mya Lyons.
It's a shame. Especially since the case, from the outside seemed like it should have been solved quickly.

I think there was the assumption early on that the father was involved, but that this assumption didn't pan out in terms of evidence. Lacking that relatively easy route, I think the cops' trail just ran dry, and there wasn't enough community outrage or media converage to encourage them to push past it.

Personally, I would have far preferred the nonstop coverage to have gone to this case rather than Peterson's, but it's hard to get anything prurient out of a murdered child, especially with no front-runner person of interest to aim the camera at. That and the color barrier doomed this one, I think.

That's what infuriates me. I am sure that if Mya Lyons were white the media would have jumped on it and the exposure would have helped solve the murder...or at least keep it from being filed in the Cold Case bin.

That vile Nancy Grace's show was about the Anthony child's murder - the little WHITE girl - every single day for months on end. She gave a couple of mentions, MENTIONS, regarding Mya Lyons. That's outrageous. What was the difference between the two murders?
In the beginning, they didn't have a body for the Anthony case!!! There wasn't even any hard evidence to prove it was murder. At least with Mya Lyons they had the body, and they found it immediately, so there was no decomposition to deal with.
Even though I abhor Nancy Grace, she could have helped keep the story alive. It's got to be about race, what else could it be?

The Chicago media and police should be ashamed for letting this story die. This isn't some bumblfuck town with village idiots running the detective force, it's Chicago...and they just let this get swept under the rug. It's unacceptable.

I agree wholeheartedly with you on this one. Had Mya been a blond girl in Lincoln Park, this would have been handled completely differently.
