ANGELA'S BIG LIES

Investigators are trying to figure out how Ricci logged those miles on the Jeep in those days and are focusing their search for Elizabeth Smart within a 500-mile radius of Salt Lake City.

Ricci, police say, has denied any involvement in Elizabeth's June 5 abduction. His wife, Angela, insists that he was home sleeping that morning. She also thought that her husband did not have possession of the Jeep when Elizabeth was kidnapped and believed it was still at the mechanic's shop.

Lost Keys and a Mystery Mrs. Ricci

However, Moul denies having the Jeep and said he remembered seeing Ricci bring it back two days after Elizabeth's abduction and hurriedly removing several items — including its seat covers and two bags.

When told about the mechanic's allegations, Angela Ricci maintained that she was sure her husband did not have the Jeep on the night in question.

"I'm sure it wasn't … it wasn't there," she said.

On ABCNEWS' Good Morning America today, Angela Ricci went a step further, suggesting that someone else could have taken the Jeep.

"He lost his keys. Someone stole his keys in April," she said. "For some reason the FBI won't question this person that was with him when his keys were stolen, so he is not the only person that had keys to that Jeep."

AT HOME WITH ANGELA?

Ricci denies any involvement and his wife is adamant that the two were in bed together at the time Elizabeth was abducted.
But Ricci's neighbors have their doubts. Carma Tolman, who lives next door, told CNN that Angela Ricci asked her and others living in the Shadow Ridge Estates mobile home park if they had seen her husband leave in the middle of the night. She hadn't.
And Tolman's son, Andy Thurber, said Richard Ricci was digging and pounding on his trailer the morning Elizabeth was kidnapped. Ricci said he was boarding up a hole on the bottom of Tolman's trailer so his cat could not get in.
"He's a good guy, he really is. I borrowed smokes from him. He borrowed smokes from me," Thurber said. "I was thinking they were after the wrong guy until I heard about the Jeep and stuff and they started questioning me. Now I don't know what to think."
