Powell Mystery Overshadows Latest Discovery

The Nation is following a story involving a missing-Utahn named Susan Powell. Today a body was found near Wendover. Another story worthy of Nationwide scrutiny is that of a Utah cop who was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Millard County.

Today was the day of Josie Fox's Memorial Service and shortly thereafter (if not during) all relevant media providers scrambled for the even-further, west desert to capture a scoop. A body had been discovered wrapped in plastic and duct tape. After MANY reports anticipating a BREAK in an ongoing story, hours of 'feeling the story out' dealt a mustached, 'Hispanic' male cadaver.

Still, pieces reported moved to more speculation on the missing Mrs. Powell without the slightest consideration for who this dead man might be.

Beyond that, left behind is a current mystery involving unfolding details of Fox's case including her own brother's involvement in the alleged transaction that lead to her being ordered to make a stop on her executioner.

What gives? The scoop or what is actually going on? Do we consumers of media demand this sort of hype?
