Are there any homeless, ex-cons, junkies, and otherwise ner-do-wells that Mr Smart DIDN'T hire?

Good question. However, John Walsh has featured this Mitchell person on two recent broadcasts,(Feb.16 and Mar.1) so there may be something to it.

People who are Christ-like in their compassion for others, refusing to pass judgement, turning the other cheek, sometimes pay the ultimate price. However, their rewards are not laid up on this earth, but in heaven.

Christ himself kept company with unsavory people. When his ministry on this earth was nearly complete one of them betrayed him for some pocket change. He, a criminal, hung and died between two common thieves.

I don't know why I'm saying this. I probably need to put on my asbestos after saying it. But, some of us here - myself included - are far too quick to condemn.

. . .Yes, they seemed used to having the homeless help out around the house. . .

Perhaps this has been answered but have they said 'why' they did not release this picture after the composite was made. . .which I think was within a few days of the abduction. Do remember their refusal; but not the 'why' of it.

Seems a bit 'too late Smart' here. . .so to speak.

There's such a thing as being compassionate and another when it comes to protecting your family. Especially a family with young, beautiful girls. I HAVE a young beautiful daughter and I'll always error on the side of caution.
