1st call after Elizabeth was "discovered" missing: The Uncle, Tom Smart.

2nd call: The Smart's Bishop.

3rd call: The police.

This thing stinks to high heaven.

The Smarts swore on live national tv that they called the police first. They said check the phone records. Didn't sound right to me either since the police got the call at 4:02am? By then there were neighbors and family in the house. Uncle Tom lives 30 miles away. Does anyone know if he was in the house when the police got there?

I think you need to catch up with the facts in this case. The Police have verified that they received the FIRST call from the Smart family at 4:01am, then the other calls were made to the rest of the family because the family said it seemed to take forever for the police to get there.

I hadn't heard those specifics before...Where was that reported? I had just heard/read that they called some neighbors first before calling police. In fact, I recall an interview published in the paper that said the uncle (Tom) got a call between 2:30 and 3:00am and by the time he got to the house the police had already arrived and had the house sealed as a crime scene.

It has been reported that some neighbors had come over and gone searching for Elizabeth through the house before police arrived.

You also mentioned some 'wild rumors' about the dad staging the kidnapping for ransom money, I hadn't heard those rumors (other than some pretty wild scandal-monging here at FR over the last couple of days). Where were you when you heard those rumors??
