Stop Everything You're Doing

Another Pretty White Girl is missing. She's a freshman at Virginia Commonwealth University. Just in case you're not sure if you should care or not, check out the picture of her in the Washington Post. Thank god the media is finally paying attention to a missing white girl. When will the oppression of beautiful white women end???

This is very disturbing though:

On Thursday, police upgraded the case from a search for a missing person to a full-fledged criminal investigation -- not because there was evidence that a crime had occurred, but because it allowed them to employ various resources, including search warrants and the Amber Alert, which they issued late that night.

Investigators executed several search warrants Friday, including one at the Vienna house where [the Pretty White Girl] grew up and at the Richmond home of a 38-year-old photographer who took pictures of [the Pretty White Girl] last spring and posted them on his Web site. The photos have been removed.

Police have identified no suspects in the case.

If there are no suspects - and no evidence that a crime occurred - why are the police getting warrants to search people's homes and what exactly are they looking for?

UPDATE: It's been a while since I've read the 4th Amendment. I just looked it up. I forgot that there's a exception to the Bill of Rights in cases involving pretty white women.
