There was NO eyewitness account in the Elizabeth Smart case. You are thinking of the Jaycee Dugard case which is similar but not the same.
Yeah but he was not involved at all and did every thing the police asked of him.
what in the world ever gave you that idea????
I don’t know anyone who thinks that.
More funny business in SLC. I hope the truth finally gets told. Maybe Mitchell can take another line of defense and actually tell the truth.
There is certainly much more to this story than is being told.
I completely agree, the father and all the other men in that family came off as down right creepy. The problem was that they were pretty sure that it was some weird branch of Mormonism that had kidnapped their daughter and they didn’t think that she would be killed, just held against her will. They withheld information about the garb that the kidnapper had worn. They described it as being dressed like a Good Humor man. There was no anger, just begging that that whoever had her, please allow her to return. I remember saying that at the time, and the next thing that I knew, the women had taken over for the men as spokes people for the family.
No wonder the poor girl went with this deviant - he sounds exactly like the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Poor, poor child.
No, he didn’t think anything of the sort, but he did not believe that the kidnappers took her to kill her. He thought that he could reason with them to return his daughter. That was weird enough, for me.
I think that you may be partially correct. I think that the Smart’s refused to allow the younger daughter to questioned and simply relayed what she had said. I don’t remember, exactly, but I do remember that there was a problem with the description of the garb that the kidnapper was wearing.
The whole ordeal was weird and a child suffered for it. The Smarts were not very in handling the event, the public appearances were strange and disjointed. The child was found, thanks goodness.
Thanks to all in #26, 27, 28, 29 and 30.
thanks all.
Your memories and conclusions are identical to mine on this.
Another creepy thing, related to this case, was the interview that Katie Couric did with Mitchell’s children. She asked them on air, if they had ever been sexually abused by their father. I emailed the station and asked them to interview Couric’s kids and ask them if they had ever been sexually abused by their father.
