Why isn't this headline news?

The case of Khasha Smith from Edinburgh. Remember the coverage the Nicola Bulley case received? This is another young woman and mother of three. Missing and there is a major search for her. I only know about it because I stumbled across it. There are a few scattered articles, and that's it. How is this not headline news?

There are some odd things about the case, such as not being reported missing for 2 months; so obviously there are things not being shared. But...Sharing because surely if more people know about it, she's more likely to be found/pressure on police to find her, etc.

Again. I don't understand how this isn't in the headlines: Who decides that?

The Nicola Bulley story had such a high profile because her friends and family worked very hard to make it so.

Sarah Everard too. If you go missing, you better have pushy people that will make sure there are headlines (if you are a man tho nobody will care lol)

@Willmafrockfit tell her family it was Ott and unnecessary, I'm sure you could have phrased that better

Im sure her family also felt it was too much, especially after the police leaked that very personal intel about her mental health and her husband's health problems.
