Law & Order Excuse? Hm..


Police are still on the quest to find Sky Metalwala, the missing 2-year-old boy from Washington. It was announced Saturday that the police discovered several “items of interest” in a park in Kirkland, Washington. The police called their CIA investigators who looked at the items. Fox News says that the items have been sent to a forensic lab for further analysis and that there will hopefully be some conclusion soon. Julia Biryukova, Sky’s mother, is still refusing to talk with officials. Police continue to say that her story does not add up. Interestingly enough, the night before Sky went missing “Law & Order: SVU” aired a somewhat similar case. Could she have murdered (or planned for the murder of) Sky and used the story of Law & Order: SVU’s episode as a cover-up? Hopefully we will all find out soon.
         The author of this article, Ankita Mehta, only provided a brief summary of the story. I think this is okay because this case was presented many weeks ago and it is sort of hard to catch up now. It is more important to report on the current events than to keep summarizing the past. In this article, Mehta uses quotes and a picture to bring pathos, ethos, and logos to the scene.

  1. Such a sad story! Law and Order and other similar television shows can be the inspiration for some crimes so it would not surprise me if that was where Sky's mother got her inspiration. I think the brief summary that the author used is a good technique for those audiences that haven't followed the story. Nice job!

  2. Wow thats really weird how the Law and Order episode was similar. I wouldn't be surprised if the show had an influence on the murder of the baby

  3. That's so weird, that'd be crazy if it really was influenced by Law and Order.
