Pinging for breaking news!

Rita Cosbt says the guy (not Edmunds) has worked in the Smart home on construction projects, and the FBI has been looking at him for a while. They are referring to him as a "suspect."

Thanks for the heads-up! I've been on the computer for an hour and have not heard late news.

I have linked this thread to the Day 18 thread.

This is not good. I doubt the girl is alive. There would have been a note for ransom if she was alive.

I hope they haven't shipped her somewhere into white slavery.

I just watched the news on the local Fox affiliate. Albert Ricci is being held in jail, and is being questioned by the SLC police. They arrested him on June 14. The investigators in the case think he may have a big piece of the puzzle as to why Elizabeth Smart was abducted. Ricci worked on the Smart home about a year ago as a handyman. He is a felon with a long record, mostly burglary, but did spend 15 years in prison for the attempted murder of a highway patrol officer. The police cannot get an alibi to their satifisfaction as to where Ricci was the morning Elizabeth was abducted. Ricci has taken at least one polygraph test.

The police are still questioning Bret Edmunds in West Virginia. There will be a press conference tomorrow morning at 11 am to update on both stories. I'll watch the 10 pm news also to see if I can get any more info.

BTW: Is anybody else reporting this? Not that I'm a cynic or anything (well, actually I am....) but this case has had so many single-source stories that turned out to be wrong, I'm hoping for some confirmation from another source.
