If he would have been able to answer the questions on the Jeep he wouldn't have gotten busted on the bank robbery, that came later.
lakey, you have always been in denial of the central point in the case, that Ricci's lying about not having the Jeep and thus failure to give an account of where he got it muddy, what he did with the stuff in it, why it wasn't parked at his trailer, and who picked him up at Mouls scream of his guilt.
Ricci's MO is all over this case. 1) The hiding the Jeep or letting someone else use it thing, like when he lent his vehicle to the gang that robbed the food bank, the Jeep was not seen at his trailer the week he had it and he told the police it was at Mouls, 2) middle of the night break in, like he broke into the other house he worked at on the same street also in the middle of the night, and he told his friends he was going to break into the Smart's home and burglarize it in the middle of the night for the easy pickins there sometime and tried to enlist their help, and 3) use of small hand gun as weapon like in the bank robbery (do you think MK or Ed just made this up and happened to luck onto Ricci's MO?).
lakey, is it denial, or are you just exceedingly naive?
Kidnapping and/or pedophila were not Ricci's MO.
When he shot at the police officer, he was most likely on drugs. Thus the short sentence.
He was a not-too-swift thief and cat burglar. The threesome's take from the bank was around $1700.
The State of Utah v. Richard Albert Ricci, Salt Lake City Police Department, Agency Case No. 01-59273, defendant "exercised unauthorized control over the property of Sue Ann Adams with the purpose to deprive the owner thereof, and that the value of said property is or exceeds $300, but is less than $1,000."
Four witnesses: S. Adams, L. Linh, R. Lewis, and T. Siebert. There were also witnesses to the bank robbery.
The Jeep has, to date, yielded no DNA evidence of Elizabeth being in the vehicle. If the Jeep was loaned out, that person's DNA would be in it. If Moul vacuumed the interior, the debris would be in the vacuum's bag, and forensics would have examined it.
