...and right after Fox reported that, they went back to the conference with the Smart relatives, and the question was asked about how long Recci had worked for Ed...and the family spokesman said " Oh not long, maybe 2 months, or three,A VERY SHORT TIME "

2 or 3 months is a long time for a handyman to work on a home. My father was a handyman... most jobs are done within 1 week.

Yeah, there seems to be some waffling on how long Ricci worked for the Smarts and the nature of that whole relationship. The family is making it look like a very brief, strictly business deal. The police are saying that the arrangement went on much longer. I'm curious about Mr. Smart having provided Ricci with a car......the family is explaining that as a barter, but it does sound unusual, especially since the family is saying he only worked for a couple of months. And the tidbit about Ricci having burglarized the Smart home last year.....I wonder why that has been kept under wraps. I don't recall hearing that the Smarts had ever had trouble with break-ins before.......
