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.

BIG LIE FROM SMITH

The couple watched television together in bed, Smith said, and Richard Ricci fell asleep before his wife, who suffers from back pain. Angela Ricci estimates she went to sleep about 1:30 a.m. and said her husband got up at least once during the night to use the restroom, Smith said. "We feel it's a pretty good alibi," he said. "The real issue is what happened between 10 [p.m.] and 6 [a.m.]." Asked if Angela Ricci takes any medication that would have sedated her, Smith said he didn't believe her medication would have interfered with her awareness.
