I'll agree with most of that. I don't think that questioning the story because of a lack of a photo being shown is an aspersion on anyone, though.
"I think you've yet again confused my comments with Illbay's."
Ah, I think you're right. My apologies, again.
"Explaining that Ricci seems like a likelier suspect than the NE gay porn theory which is opportunistic rubbish based on Ed Smart's less-than-Mr. Universe appearance"
Very valid, again. Although I do believe that since Edmunds has been ruled out (he was considered a "likely suspect" by some last night), then it's reasonable to ask about if...if...Ricci is ruled out, for whatever reason, what comes next.
Dude, just calm down, okay? From seeing you on other threads, you seem like a reasonable, decent guy. I could say that your earlier statement that these simple questions are based on anti-Mormon bigotry ("make no mistake", I believe you said) are also based on no evidence, and are just as slanderous. I believe that everyone here is just as anxious to have Elizabeth found safe as you are. Maybe you are just more concerned about this case because of your own wonderful daughters, but I do think you owe an apology to those whom you've called "Satan's imps" and such.
GOOD KEEP THE MEDIA AND VIPERS GUESSING!:)
In all seriousness I have watch for years how the Media undermined the work of Law enforcement on all levels. These muckrakers are out in the cold,
Smart move! (no pun indented)
Like it says on this board
"Loose lips sink ships!"
That's funny, I could've sworn they were concentrating on Edmunds and Ricci!
This is garbage, and the Enquirer--ONCE AGAIN--is going to get the pants sued off 'em.
So why do they do it? Well, they actually admitted in the wake of the last few successful lawsuits, that they still end up in the black after the settlements are paid, because they sell tons of their trash to the small-minded (examples appear on this and related threads).
The evidence is plain to read on this and related threads.
... and are just as slanderous.
One wonders if you understand the definition of the word "slander".
I also have to depart from other posters on Ricci's looks. I don't think he looks particularly sinister, he looks like Sonny Bono to me. There's also another singer who would have been popular in Riccis youth, who wore one of those caps and kind of looks like him, his name was Felix some kind of italian last name and was in some group whose name escapes me. Anyway, I've known guys who get stuck in a time warp, who would keep the same look for 25 years. Maybe he's one of em.
The employer of Recci said he worked the day after the abduction. He was a good worker. He worked all that week and had a good attitude during that week. The F.B.I. took the time cards from the business he worked for.
When asked if kidnapping was out of character, he said.." I am not an expert, however, he was always enthused, and didn't sit down, or take a break. He was a good worker and wanted to work "
hmmmmmm
I'm sure we all have...based on so many things. It really depends on what your own mindset is, as to what kinds of theories you come up with.
"Ricci probably thought he looked like Gallagher too, maybe took to wearing the cap for that reason."
Heh. :) I have to admit, I didn't think of Gallagher either until that pic was posted. Although just from his image, I wouldn't guess he's too into comedy.
"Anyway, I've known guys who get stuck in a time warp, who would keep the same look for 25 years. Maybe he's one of em." Hmm. Maybe so. I wonder what kind of evidence they have, if any. If Ricci doesn't admit anything, what can they do? If they do get a verification from MK, it wouldn't stand up in court, IMO.
As you know and have read from the post, I also asked those who presently have a physical copy of NE if the story was basically accurate. As you can see, no one has posted that it's different. If the NE buys/writes/sells their stories/papers, and note that the sources of their story is also listed, it's the NE's problem..Also note that someone who is a member of the same community and church said they were troubled that the family has not denied this story as yet.
You said, "That's funny, I could've sworn they were concentrating on Edmunds and Ricci!"---when did they stop looking at everyone else?
If the "Enquirer--ONCE AGAIN--is going to get the pants sued off 'em.", it's the NE's problem, but again, I haven't heard of anyone here saying that the story has been denied. There's probably things being said elsewhere that we haven't heard, and again, who knows what goes on behind closed doors? Everyone is concerned about Elizabeth being found alive quickly. As we all know that one of the first things that authorities seize whenever they have something to investigate, one of the first places they go to--the computer to look for trails, whether or not that story is true regarding the computers being seized and what was supposedly found.
And...please correct me if I'm wrong...haven't they even said now that Edmunds was not involved?
