BY DENISE CROSBY

The good news is, if I ever turn up missing, there's a better than average chance the press will be all over my case like peanut butter on jelly. I'm a white, middle-class suburban mom, after all. (It would probably help if I were a little younger or richer, but I guess you can't have everything.) Sorry, guys, you may have the edge on a lot of things in life, but I'll end up on Larry King Live.

The debate over the crosses in front of the Vaughn house in Oswego last month was one thing. It involved some neighbors who understandably wanted to grieve over the violent deaths of three children and their mother and others who simply wanted to move on. The house was a gathering place for a community searching for answers and healing. The crosses represented something meaningful.

But Sugar Grove carpenter Greg Zanis went too far in getting involved in the Lisa Stebic case. He had no right to place a white cross on the Stebics' lawn without permission while the missing Plainfield woman's husband and children still live there. Apparently his sense of entitlement knows no bounds.
