    That is the longest article a person could make to say “she’s alive but that’s all we can say.”

    There is no info on how she was found, where she was found, what happened 32 years ago, who found her. Literally fucking nothing. I don’t know who they wrote this article for because it’s pretty worthless.

      In the print era, this would have been a notice. A simple headline and a couple of sentences, nestled in the columns between other articles. In the works of online media everything has to be a free standing piece of media, so you end up with these kinds of useless filler articles.
