Abstract
This article presents the results of content analyses of media coverage of two widely reported “crimes” that occurred in the Rochester, New York area in 1994: the disappearance of a four-year-old girl and the collapse and flooding of the largest salt mine in North America. An individual is the central figure in one case; the other case focuses on a business. In many other respects, these cases are quite similar. They provide an opportunity to examine and critique media coverage of very different types of behaviors, each of which is definable as crime.
