I can't understand anyone giving day laborers keys to the house. I recently had a lot of work done to my house, and enjoyed talking with the workmen quite a bit, but there is no way I would give any of them a key to my house and they were not day laborers. (Actually, I don't think I had heard about Ed giving keys to day laborers before this interview.)

I'm sure someone will say that Ed was just the trusting type, but if he was so trusting, why did he install a burglar alarm in the first place? He had already been robbed and if he had given keys out to day laborers, you would think, at the least, he would have changed the locks and used the alarm.

Things just don't add up. Perhaps Ricci was involved, but I don't really think it makes sense - for the simple fact that he was not the one in the house. Evidently, neither the police nor the Smarts believe that MK was describing Ricci whom she knew. I just think from his other crimes as a cat burglar that if anyone was going to enter the house, it would be Ricci who was familar with the house.

I did feel a lot of empathy for the Smart kids during the 48 hours interview, but another question that came up is why wasn't MK allowed to say what she saw? Instead her mother told the story. We never heard it from MK. If the reason is not to jeopardize the case against the perp, then the mother should not be repeating what MK told her either.

When they release Ed's call to the police with Ed's phone records and I hear him tell the police that a man with a gun took Elizabeth, then I may change my mind. Until then I will continue to believe that Ed knows more than he is saying.

...and I hear him tell the police that a man with a gun took Elizabeth...

What I heard happened is they first called JG who is a psychic and he conjured up that Ricci had used a small, black 9MM handgun in a crime in the recent past and he told Ed to tell police MK said the kidnapper had a small black handgun.

I'll be back in a while with what I could make out from my video tape on Moul's work order on the Jeep. Evidently, the police didn't take it as evidence!

Looking at the tape again, the appearance of the paper seems be a Xerox copy. I cannot imagine the police would not take the original as evidence.

Neth Moul's Garage Work Order #1421, dated 5/28/02 - looks like to me.

Our S I I m no pass 3500

The amount for the work written is either $250 or $750, can't decipher.

I taped on slow, which doesn't give a crisp picture. ____________________________________________________________

After the reporter talked with Moul, a police officer was interviewed. He admitted they didn't have enough evidence against Ricci, so they arrested him "on a parole violation."

During the course of speaking with this officer, he also said that they didn't believe Angela was the woman who called Moul's.

So, who was the woman?
