The recent rescue of 15-year-old kidnap victim Shawn Hornbeck provided many Americans with an increasingly rare commodity: good news. For Christine Kullorn of St. Clair, Missouri, the massive press coverage had an additional effect. Since January 12, when Hornbeck was reunited with his family, a stream of television news crews and photographers have been showing up at Kullorn's apartment.

Kullorn's 12-year-old daughter Heather disappeared in July 1999, while she was babysitting for family friends in Richmond Heights (a community about 10 miles from Kirkwood, where Hornbeck was discovered). "I'm glad they found Shawn because it keeps Heather in the public eye," says Kullorn, who just received 500 new missing posters of her daughter.
