Who now is the prime suspect? Why haven't we found her body? Do you think she is still alive? Is this another one of those cases that would have been better off if the media had stayed out of it?

I believe some family member (or members) are still persons of interest. Also, all of Ricci's acquaintances. Probably this new guy, David Fuller; and also that randy Bishop--Dixon. That's all I can think of.

Is she still alive? A million prayers have gone up that this is so. We can only hope for a Christmas miracle.

I don't see where the media has been detrimental in this case. They helped with the enormous search effort. The SLC newspapers have kept the case alive with frequent articles. The cable news shows have been generous in giving Ed and Lois much coverage. I believe the Smarts have mentioned many times that they are grateful to the media for their ongoing efforts to rescue or recover Elizabeth.

Thank you for such a polite orderly response in the midst of the chaos and paranoia on the thread. Seems like trying to make a determination in these cases is so difficult due to various stories from the principals. Makes you wonder how police ever get anything figured out. Of course they don't have to get their information through the various forms of media, including the Internet. It is like looking at a hill of ants through a mist, surrounded by fog, in a shadow, covered with mud, while a team of joggers run through.
