Because the media doesn't know where to go with the story. There's too much, it doesn't fit anybody's narrative, and it's not a major story (in that nobody has actually been arrested over a bleeding body, hanging her panties on a tree).
Illegal aliens - OK, that's bad.
...are getting raped - wait, that's bad, too. But it's bad for a different reason.
OK, has anybody been caught? (Hey, if it bleeds, it leads!) Is there any immediacy to this story?
Ah... never mind, then. Wait until we have a story.
Aren't they intending to essentially legalize raping immigrants anyway: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/06/09/240597/massachusetts-gop-immigrant-rape/
