I have a problem with the burglary angle. Why go to all of the trouble of putting the Jeep into hiding if Ricci was just going to grab some goods. No, I think the plan was to get Elizabeth. The Jeep is the key to this mystery. It was the perfect vehicle for abducting her because of the deniability of stray DNA evidence.

Excellent point, except that if the jeep was used in a burglary, he would still want to have it "in the shop" during the period.

If kidnapping was the motive, the DNA aspect could afford the possibility of the perfect crime. If only Moul didn't have such a good memory AND such good records, Ricci would have a good alibi for the jeeps whereabouts.

I would like to thank the FReeper that FReepmailed the Smart letter to me. So, thank you fellow FReeper! :)

Why? Any car could be used for a burglary. Too much effort went into covering this Jeep for a simple second story job.

I agree with this but also feel that MK waking up and spotting the perp was more significant. I think the investigation would have moved much slower without the intense media interest that resulted because of the Rachel alert going out. Perhaps the Jeep would have been back at the trailer park by the time authorities got around to talking to Rick. They may have never even known it had been to the garage at all.
