I completely agree. First of all, obviously, no one deserves to go missing or be kidnapped. But whenever I read or see something on the news, it's usually a blonde, blue eyed Caucasian. I do live in Chicago BTW, and while we're more racially diverse and aware than the country at large, we're not immune to the cases of Elizabeth Smart, etc.
Actually Laci Peterson was 1/2 Latina, on her father's side. I had assumed she was hispanic b/c of her looks and her relatives. And a lot of people seem to assume she's white.
I do think the media to a certain extent reflects society at large. We have racial inequities in real life, so of course it'll be that way in TV and Newspapers too.
