Some of the reasons it keeps getting national attention is:
1) It happened around Christmas
2) Lacy was a pretty, wholesome, all-American pregnant girl with a handsome husband who seemingly had everything going for her.
3) Because the body was mutilated and the baby was found separated from it (horror factor)
It begs our attention because what kind of monster would kill a pregnant lady? It's not really national news, but all of the things above when combined made it so. I'm interested but not absorbed.
