Kat, I agree with your theory about the visibility factor and Elisabeth Smart. She seemed to be a very actve child, in and around the Community. And a girl as lovely as she was, might have made an impact on a man like Fuller when he visited his father in Salt Lake.
LC, it wouldn't be the first time a "body" had been found sealed up in a chest or another such container in a rented mini-storage, with no detectable odor before the discovery.
A case where a woman killed her husband and sealed him in a chest for 2 years, comes to mind. She "forgot" to make the payment, and called the mini-storage, but alas the unit had just been auctioned off. They arrested her.

Possible sighting of E.S. in a mini-van with Penn state tags. Can not remember any follow up during the Media Blitz. God, I hope that little girl is safe somewhere!
