Assignment:
Brent Christensens alleged kidnapping and murder of a Chinese scholar, Yingying Zhang, who was attending the University of Illinois, is one of the most high-profile federal cases Central Illinois has seen for years.
For this paper, use your favorite search engine and conduct a brief investigation on the case. It is not necessary to get an in-depth view of the case (unless you want to), but rather the goal is that you understand the amount of attention the media in the area has given the case.
