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."

MOVE EVIDENCE FROM MOUL
Police have seized records on a vehicle belonging to Ricci, a mechanic said earlier Friday. Neth Moul, owner of Neth's Auto Repair, also said when the vehicle was brought to the repair shop on June 8, it was dirty and full of insects on the windshield.
Moul said he testified this week before a federal grand jury looking into the girl's disappearance.
Police originally confiscated three vehicles belonging to Ricci, but returned two of them, keeping Ricci's Jeep Cherokee for more analysis.
According to Moul, police seized his log books that recorded the Ricci repair work, dates and mileage. The mileage is important because the vehicle apparently had recorded 1,000 extra miles from the time Ricci picked up the vehicle from the mechanic on May 30 and brought it back for more repairs on June 8.
