ABC News ran a feature on its Web site Tuesday called "What Made Missing Pregnant Mom Murder So Compelling?"

By Scott Michels, the piece reports how the disappearance of a 26-year-old woman in Canton, Ohio, made national news June 14 while at least 19 other murders committed the same day went "little noticed beyond a small group of bereaved friends and family, or perhaps a brief mention in the local paper."

Michels then tells the stories of some of those other victims, one being Spanaway's Nicholas Danforth (seen here). The 17-year-old boy was shot to death in a travel trailer early that morning, allegedly by his father.

Michel's piece on Nick includes this quote from the boy's aunt, Kerri Gettman: "Nicholas had such a positive impact on people. We called him 'Gentle Giant.' He was always trying to making (sic) people happy."

For the record, The News Tribune ran two substantial stories on Nick. The first, by TNT writer Debby Abe, appeared June 15. I wrote the second, which appeared the next day.

We'll be following his father's murder case through the court system.

A Pierce County judge set bail Thursday at $150,000 for a man accused of trying to ram two police cars during a wild chase across town earlier this week.

Superior Court Judge John Hickman set the bail at the request of deputy prosecutor Eric Norman, who called Louis James Foti "an extreme danger to the community."

Not guilty pleas were entered on Foti's behalf to four counts of second-degree assault and one count each of attempting to elude police and resisting arrest.

Foti, who appeared in court in shackles, said nothing during his arraignment.

Public defender Lisa Contris reserved arguments over bail for Foti's next attorney.
