Impact of The Murder
The ABC television series NYPD 24/7 discussed the issue of television crews getting unchecked documents, mentioning the Romona Moore case. Moore's case later garnered further media attention by the abduction, rape, torture and murder of John Jay College of Criminal Justice student Imette St. Guillen. However, Moore's case did not receive the attention that her family felt it deserved.
As of April 2008, Moore's mother, Elle Carmichael, has a federal lawsuit to sue the NYPD and has had her case cleared by Brooklyn Federal Judge Nina Gershon. Carmichael is claiming that NYPD "used a double standard" of not searching for Moore while "aggressively pursuing the disappearance of white women". The police at the 67th Precinct had rejected Carmichael's request to find her daughter by saying that "she was probably off with a boyfriend". Carmichael contrasted the abduction of her daughter with the case of St. Guillen. City lawyer Robyn Pullio indicated that she was looking forward to a hearing in this case.

Famous quotes containing the words impact of, impact and/or murder:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”

“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
“If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green.... If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don’t deserve to survive, and probably won’t.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
