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:
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
