<p>Why is the story with the UW student all over the news but we don’t hear anything about this?</p>

<p>KING5 had it as their “breaking news” story on Saturday or Sunday. I feel very sorry for his pregnant wife. He was trying to support them. Why did a college grad have to go back to basketball to earn money for his family? So sad…</p>

<p>I think the main reason it is not all over the news is that there aren’t any developments in the case since the story first aired. We can only hope and pray that he is found alive and well. The US Embassy in Brazil not reacting to pleas from his relatives - no surprise here at all.</p>
