"There would have to be an overwhelming public interest argument to justify their continuing" - it seems to me there was one - 170,000 people disappear every year, and yet this was turned into a national story.

I feel that this is the essential point here. There are so many missing people and this one gets all this airtime, personal intrusion, etc. So wrong. Feels more like a Victorian freak show ...
