You know Natalee Holloway, but what about Liborio Medina Cesareo?

Joran van der Sloot was busted on video tape telling a man how Natalee Holloway died on the island of Aruba in 2005 -- This homicide has caught the attention of the world - others do not.

The L.A. Times Jill Leovy waxed today about the hundreds she's chronicled in that paper's Homicide Report. These brief straight-forward snippets are often the only news accounts that chronicle the death of L.A.'s homicide victims.

Here at the Daily News we try to flesh out as many of those stories as we can. In fact, telling the stories of homicide victims and their families is easily one of the most important things we -- or any news agency -- do.
