I am a person who has suffered the pitfalls of racism in my life,BUT /I cannot not believe that many of you would turn this sarah fox case into a racial debate. I have discussed this issue with friends of color and all sorts to make sure it wasn't just me. It is true that money can buy publicity,and it is a misfortune that is what may separate the publicized cases from so many unknowticed. But a young girl going about her day was brutally killed, and thats the bottom line. In the future people fight your racial battle where actual racism occurs. If you know that a loved one is missing its up to you, your friends and family to make a fuss so big that the media will recognize him or her. I never felt sorry for my self and blamed it on my ethnicity, to me that is weakness, and a form of racism in itself (to think white people don't suffer from racism of sorts) There where plenty places in life when I have seen minorities of all sorts give white people a push and shove for being white. A person is a person, if you stop classifying yourself as a color or race chances are so will most people. P.S. there is a huge amount of NYC police who are African American they have helped me, and many others I'm sure they don't discriminate and put off finding a missing white girl, or black girl for that matter. Grow up people...If you feel so strongly about this matter I urge you all to get up and find at least one missing black person and start helping out with publicity to find that one person. If you don't pursue this idea (those of you who seem to blame so much of this on white vs. black)then you are all a bunch of complaining hypocrates...............

The phone number you listed for any information on the case was wrong. It begins by 800 not 877.

Anyway I tried to report something odd I saw there with my son on May 2nd.

In the latest press release there was some information that perhaps something ritualistic had happened. On May 2nd we saw a roating piece of meat nailed to a large oak tree on the top of the park facing Broadway.

I remember when the officer was killed just outside the park (a smaller park between Inwood park and broadway) and the coverage was very limited. And, while I think the point made here regarding race is understood as other missing people are just as deserving of publicity, this one certainly does offer some exceptions to the typical story. This was a tiny girl with a big dream taken away. I feel that is what the media has focused on. Julliard is the most famous Conservatory in the world. One must already be a professional to be admitted and the selection is extremely competitive. Understand that a focus on a young girl with a promising future certainly adds to this story considerably.

Inwood has always had a large amount of Conservatory students due to the nearness of Manhattan, Julliard, and Mannes. I too was introduced to this area based on the convienence of commute when I attended.

Generally its not as much a race thing with the media as much as it is a marketing thing. No one is saying "she is white" so that will sell a story. They are selling the idea "she could of had it all"... but, look what happenend. Every mention in the news is prefaced with her being from Julliard. People... Lets not make this one something it isn't.

My heart goes out to Sarah's family and friends.

I'm a young woman who has gone jogging in Inwood Hill Park. There are some beautiful wooded trails back there, and when I've gone there, it's amazing - the sounds of the city just fall away. It's like you're in the middle of the country. Of course - this is also scary. When there, I found myself wondering...if I can't hear the city, how can anyone hear me?

It is scary that something like this can happen in my "backyard.". That's not to say this is a very safe neighborhood. When they found Sarah's body, I saw the helicopters over the park. But this is not the first time police helicopters have been over the park. Sometimes at night, with spotlights shining into the woods. Funny, but whatever happened those other times never made the news.

However, it's also important to note that a young white woman was stabbed in my building 2 years ago. That same summer, several apartments with white residents were broken into. Neither one of these crimes made the news either.

There really seemed to be an extreme effort on the part of Sarah's family and friends to find her. You couldn't walk half a block without seeing her "missing" photo hanging from street lamps, phone booths, everywhere. It seems clear that this is where the publicity wheel started turning. Let's drop the race card on this one and instead focus on finding the person who did this.

Ok, new questions.

I don't live in the NY area, so my knowledge on Sarah Fox is rather limited.

Is the body the search party found definitely Sarah's? From what I read, they didn't seem certain.

Also, any leads on possible suspects?

My heart goes out the family and friends.

some people really need to get off this race thing. This is a young woman in the prime of her life. She was obviously tallented and ready to do many wonderful things. It is insulting even to someone that did not know her.

'Click Here' can't help it. She's only 14. She likes horses and the color purple.

Sad to hear about Sarah though. He friends & family should be commended for getting the word out.

alas. so sad.

Sarah was murdered - her brief life just ended senselessly - and all people can do is argue about issues and parade bigotries around that have nothing to do with her. I went to high school with her. I remember her at 14 - 16-years old, and suddenly she's dead. I just hope people aren't as callous and insensitive if someone who has posted on here ends up facing the same horror she must have endured.

i am friends with one of Sarah's family members. When she first told me they didn't hear from Sarah, I did not realize how horrible the outcome would be. Thank you everyone that participated in the search. My heart goes out to all her friends and family and everyone that helped. I still feel numb about the whole horrible thing. It does make me want to grab all my family and friends and pull them close and never let them go. :(

Click Here: What is your problem. I am genuinely concered and you do something as ridiculous as that link?

Have some compassion, this is not the place for your jokes.

Nigra daddies go missing every day.

I think the point isn't that she was white. I think it's that she was at a prestigious school in a prestigious program. No one cares about us commoners.

I have posted an article on my website about Sarah Fox. Click the Click Here thing to see it.

Sheila- you said that people are sexist because they only make abig deal out of woman going missing. Thats because more woman go missing than men. Also, many men enjoy raping and killing woman. Its a "trend" among some male killers. Mabye making a big deal about it will help it stop. Also, why did this become a competition? ITS A FRIGGEN DISCUSSION ABOUT A MISSING WOMAN! GIVE SYMPATHY! DON'T FIGHT!! Also, about the racist thing. Reasons for why it was her who they made a big deal about

1. Her body was found. Some people who are black aren't found so its not that big of a deal.

2. Inwood is an extremly peaceful neighborhood and things like this never happen.

3. Her family probably made sure things about her appeared in the paper and television.

-these comments came from a 12 year old.

There is this guy whom I have seen who stands by the entrance to the woods. It stand there all day doing nothing but staring at people. He was just creepy. He was hiding behind a tree once. Baggy clothes. Puerto-Rican guy, pretty tall, and mabye in his 20's or late teens. Very suspecious. I can't think of anyone else who might have done it.
