From tonight's America's Most Wanted (2/15/03) Brian David Mitchell's picture is also posted on the AMW site:

Story:

Police are looking for Brian David Mitchell to question him about what he might know about the disappearance of Elizabeth Smart on June 5, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In October 2002, police received information about a man known only as "Emmanuel" who may have information about Elizabeth's disappearance. In the middle of that month, the Smarts' nine-year-old daughter, Mary Katherine, came to her parents indicating this may be the man who took Elizabeth. The Smarts' had met "Emmanuel" in downtown Salt Lake City as a homeless man. The man told Edward Smart (Elizabeth's father) that he and his sister were staying with someone in the valley and that they were traveling to different cities preaching to the homeless. Edward offered the man some day labor work at his home. "Emmanuel" took a bus to a stop close to their home and then walked to the house. He worked for five hours, helping on the roof and raking leaves. He has not been seen since. Law enforcement has tried to locate him, for questioning, but has been unsuccessful. A composite drawing was made from Edward's recollection from the previous year. Edward stated, "We are not saying this is the individual who kidnapped Elizabeth, however we encourage this individual, as we have all workers in the house, to come forward to be interviewed by law enforcement."

Based on the sketch, police later got a tip from a woman who says she is "Emmanuel's" sister. She informed cops that "Emmanuel's" real name is Brian David Mitchell. He changed his name to David Emmanuel Isiah for religious purposes. He is homeless and believed to be traveling with his wife, Wanda. They usually travel south in the winter to search for work in warmer climates.

Thanks, Lissa2002.

After reading the very interesting article you posted, I noted with amusement this last sentence of it, speaking about where Emmanuel and his companion might currently be:

"They usually travel south in the winter to search for work in warmer climates.

Isn't THAT the truth! Anyone who visits "warmer climates" in the winter--or during other prime tourism months--will find such places crawling with "homeless people." If you're chronically unable to have a home, I think you usually end up telling yourself, "Well, if I'm gonna be homeless, I might as well be homeless someplace scenic."

It's one of those fringe benefits of being homeless--you can be wherever you want to be, whenever you want to be there.
