Thank you!!!

It was completely misunderstood apparently how it was read then how it was written. But thank you for giving me a few drops of water for the flames I have received! LOL :)

BTW, this is an OPINION forum. You are perfectly fine in speculating and drawing your own conclusions. Don't be intimidated by those who try to control the tenor of the discussion

Yes. But to some, there are other interests that they are very protective of.

This looks like a creep, all right.

I really think poor Edmunds is just a small-town boy gone bad, who really couldn't handle city life and ought to be back in Manti working on a ranch and dating a Mormon farm girl.

Still for all that, this looks a lot like the guy that BURIED Elizabeth, but nothing much like the younger brunet boy that was seen in the Smart home by Mary Katherine.

Would Ricci seem clean or soft-spoken, or 30, or nice, to ANY one?

Hang in there, Japedo.....you're doing fine, as always.......(smile)

I've never picked up the National Enquirer in my entire Life. I was going by threads I have read in the past

Don't get paranoid. It would be bad enough to lose a child, but then to be accused of it - when you are innocent? That is just too much to contemplate.

The confusion surrounding this case has been driven by wild speculation in the media. The cops said early on that some of the news reports were wrong, but didn't feel the necessity of correcting them. The old Joe Friday phrase "Just the facts" is certainly appropriate. A little "if you can't say something nice" would also work.

Please don't hold my questioning against any of the other New Englanders. Lots of Freepers were questioning the Uncle and the Fox news interview he gave. I lurked on those threads. Although I understood he passed a liedector. We don't definitively KNOW that he passed a lie detector. And if he didn't, if I were the police I would say that he did pass. It would certainly give a sense of security and confidence that might pay great dividends.

Post 118..... There is not much more I can explain myself. And Yes.. confusion of the media.. which is why I was asking those that had better knowledge. Questions only lead to answers Jolly.

God bless,
And DEEP PRAYERS for Elizabeth and her Family.

I thought you posted that CNN Was reporting it now. I probably need to call it a night.

There was a quick mention of it..am waiting to see if they're going to say anything further.

It seemed odd to me that FOX did not even mention this story at the [just passed] top of the hour. Not a word that I saw; just Arafart stuff.

This case has seemed just too weird from the start. There is more to the story, IMO.

Short skirt FOX babe MEGA BUMP. Have some respect for talent.

LOL Thanks for a moment there I thought I was cracking! ;-)

[Jolly Green]

I agree. I believe Mr. Smart knows so much more.... By the way, is it just me or does he seem a little afeminate?

Is it that or that he is both fairly young (inexperienced in the new world he has been plunged into) and a very decent, guileless human being?

[areafiftyone]

I do I complemented the Fox girls they are extremely intelligent as well as beautiful. Thats what makes them stand out. You gotta remember they are dressed and makeuped by wardrobe. They don't come in with that look. LOL Expecially in NYC where if you walk around like that you will be walking reallllllllly fast to get to work!

[madfly]

I know. It sucks.

[cherry]

I am pro-life & pro-death penalty. How can you be anti-death penalty when things like abduction rape & murder of innocent young girls happens all the time? This is the kind of thing we need the death penalty for

well, didn't I just say that if these guys did it, put them against the Firing squad?

Ideally, rationally, spiritualy, I want to say that I am against the dp....but I find that I can not get rid of my feelings that death is the only remedy for these scum....

Provo? Yikes. I'm trying to place the address...

I dunno if he does or doesn't...last weekend I was talking about the case to a friend of mine who claimed (don't anybody hold me to this...I'm just saying what I heard) he'd read stuff on the net about Mr. Smart's "alternative" lifestyle. What is or isn't relevant about that I have no idea.

These kind of things make me so angry..a sweet, little girl who has done no harm to anyone, abducted from her own home. And now no one seems to know where she is or even if she's still alive. I don't know how some parents can go on during time like this. I don't know that I could.

If they ever do find out who it was who took her, and bring him to custody, I would pay cas money to see him dipped in sugar water and laid on a red ant hill to dry.

LOL. Someone at FOX has a leg/heels fetish, no doubt. I noticed yesterday on the morning show there was a strategically placed laptop in front of Kirin Chentry, and she was pulling her skirt down the whole show. Ahhh, the travails of a professional...

I am glad to see someone else notices/appreciates it. Thought it was just me.

Anyway, it seemed very odd there was no mention at the top of the hour. Missing confirmation, or fast breaking additions to the story?

Relevence: He's open to blackmail. If he doesn't pay, the penalty could become progressively worse....
