I still tend to believe the family is not involved. Having said that, I have noticed that the Smarts are blond; the Francoms have darker hair, although it is not black. But after seeing one of them on the TV yesterday, he did not appear to me that he would have the body hair MK described, although I don't know. After the relevations of the NE, I did wonder about gossip on the ground there. The Francom grandfather's funeral took place two days before Elizabeth disappeared. When people get together, they talk. And gossip. If there is any truth at all to these allegations, and it only takes a grain of truth to light a fire, what if that were discussed among people there? Gatherings of people and gossip go hand in hand. And it does not even have to be true. Elizabeth, the very picture of angelic innocence, plays the harp and someone is concerned about her presence in this family. (I think they're a great family. I'm talking about possible consequences of gossiping and the devastation of the death of a loved one.)
Supposedly, the Smarts were going to move into a cabin in the mountains. Does anyone else associated with this family have such a place? This family seems to like to be surrounded by family and friends. I would not think they would move out to where they know no one. Have these types of places been explored?
Did the milkman take a polygraph test? When I asked this last week, I was told he was an old man and had been eliminated. When I saw him briefly on TV today, he was a man probably in his 30's with brown hair. And of anyone, if he was involved, he would have a motive to implicate Edmunds to get the spotlight away from himself. As far as I can tell, these two were the only non-residents known to be in the neighborhood.
