All of the news reports I've read said that Remington was picked up shortly after the bank robbery and was awaiting his trial for the federal bank robbery charges in the Salt Lake county jail. The feds might pay for the county jail to house those awaiting trial in federal crimes -- but I don't really know for sure who pays. It's not uncommon for those charged with federal crimes to be held in a county jail though is it? I'm really interested in reading Sherlock's ideas about Remington possibly being out of jail during the time Elizabeth was kidnapped!

You are correct! I meant to write that the prosecutor said none of the information Remington provided connected Ricci to the kidnapping.

One news report said Remington contacted authorities from jail when he heard Ricci was a top potential suspect. (Because he wanted to "help in any way he could") It made me think that Remington protested just a little too much in the July newspaper articles when it was reported he was going to be questioned along with Young, and, that he had actually already contacted authorities early on looking for a deal. I have not read any news reports that state exactly how Ricci's involvement in the bank robbery became known to the police. If something has been printed about it and anyone has a link, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

One thing that sticks in my mind about the bank robbery is, that Ricci was alleged to have been the guy who actually went into the bank. Then his partners, presumably including Remington, had the task of disposing of Ricci's clothes, which Ricci changed after leaving the robbery.

If Ricci told police he'd done renovation work under Remington, then that would have caused the police to go see Remington. At that point, they would of course have looked at Remington's recent alleged activities, including the bank robbery. They might have asked him, whose clothes were those you were disposing of? If he'd decided to broker a little information, he'd have told them the clothes were Ricci's. That would then have begun to tie Ricci into the bank robbery scenario. Just a conjecture.
