So what motivated these people to murder this couple? Need for spare cash? Drug induced intoxication? Lust? Stupidity? Boredom?

Surely not racism?
I'd guess that it was a combination of those things. One thing it *wasn't* however, was a racially motivated plot to go out and find a couple of white people to kill. The two wandered into an area of town at a time of day (late at night) when even decent blacks would have known better than to be there.

Let me put and end to the "the media didn't report it" line of reasoning. The media *did* report it. It was national news, and it was discussed for several days.

I thought I remembered seeing something about it.

To quote Paul Simon in a totally out-of-context manner, a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
