I am a subscriber and daily reader of The Gazette.
Question: When Mollie Tibbetts' suspected killer was discovered, your headline on Aug. 22 read 'From Missing to Murder: Authorities charge illegal immigrant in death of Mollie Tibbetts.”
When Celia Barquin Arozamena was killed, why didn't you publish a headline reading 'Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year Murdered: Suspect is a white guy who was born and raised in Iowa?”
