Seems they were "good" friends, remember how he addressed him as "Richard"..they may know each other better than anyone knew. I think this is going to be an interesting case because I highly doubt there's even a sketch, and from what I've read about children of the mormon's, they do not disrespect an older person, do as told, etc., then I question why Ed Smart expresses no fear about the security of MK. What he expresses is the importance of MK not being badgered about the details of what she 'witnessed'.
