Last week, an illegal alien from Kenya was charged with murdering 12 elderly women in Texas. The murdered women ranged in age from 76 to 94. The man, who had been living in Dallas, was also charged with two other counts of attempted murder. The primary motive for his crimes appears to be theft, as the man would schmooze his victims and then steal items of value such as jewelry. According to Plano Police Chief Gregory Rushin, the illegal used his health care experience “to his advantage in targeting and exploiting seniors, some of the most vulnerable people in our community.” Rushin noted that authorities are reviewing some 750 unattended deaths of elderly women for possible links.

This is clearly a large and developing story — one that has garnered headlines across the country. Yet, one national newsroom has apparently decided to ignore the story entirely. As of writing this story, CNN has yet to publish any article or TV report on the serial murders. Could the fact that the charged individual is an illegal alien and therefore doesn’t fit the network’s immigration narrative be the reason behind the lack of coverage? It will be interesting to see how long it takes before CNN offers any coverage.
