Yeah, juan gregory is right. Georgia Moses was a 12 year old girl who went missing and was murdered; Tom Waits made comparisons between her case and that of the similar tragedy that befell Polly Klaas. The Polly Klaas case garnered a lot of attention from her community and the media, while there was little attention paid to Georgia Moses' murder. When he asks, "Why wasn't God watching?" I think he is including her community, family, and humanity itself in that question.
