    There was murder on same day in same city. Yet, it did not receive manhunt and as much police attention.

      Yes, which is why I brought up the murders of abortion doctors. Those got a lot of nationwide attention when they happened. For example, look up George Tiller. The common theme is the connection between the murder and the controversial nature of the victim’s career. Meanwhile, the violent deaths of wealthy people not associated with anything controversial might make it into the local news briefly but they won’t get nearly as much attention.

        I’m not talking about news. I talk specifically about police resources allocation. Police will spend more money on hunting down killer of wealthy people than average people. Why are you so fixated on “attention”?
