Presentation
This story is presented as being a sensational crime, a peice made to ride the wave of "zombie attack" interest that was surging at the time.

Also the author included any substances that the suspect was on including bath salts and four loco. Basically anything that could be done to dehumanize the perpetrator was highlighted in an attempt to liken it to the Miami Zombie Cannibal case.

Frames
This particular story was framed as anyone being on bath salts being a inhuman zombie. In an attempt to sensationalize what was nothing more than an unusual arrest, the frame aimed to convice the public that bath salts were a problem and that those who were on bath salts more closely resembled the undead than drug addicts.
