The Faceless, Nameless, Victim

When a crime of domestic violence is committed that ends in murder, it can easily become a headline. Headlines vary, there is the national level like the O.J. Simpson phenomenon, and then there is the local news. In either facet the victim of the crime quickly becomes obsolete.
