I doubt that very much. I think it has been a hinderence to the PD to have so much visibility in the manner it has been. JMO
Could be true. But if I were in the Smarts position I'd do the same. There are still volunteer citizens out there spending time traipsing through the woods looking for Elizabeth. They wouldn't be doing that if there weren't these little tweaks in the media about the case. The longer the Smarts keep it in the press, the longer it will be an active investigation and not a cold case. I'm not saying there are scads of detectives on the case but I'm sure they are still getting leads and following up on them.
That lady has dignity all the way. I realize that her case didn't last long, but that woman was so dignified, much like Mrs. Smart.
I think Mrs. Runion is going to do so much good in the time ahead.
I just wanted to say how impressed I was with her in her time of grief, and I believe she was an example. She allowed the police to do their work, granted it was not long...but she stepped aside.
I mean no disrespect to Mr. and Mrs. Smart. I know they are so frustrated, but really, I pray they rest, and let the PD do their job. The media can't stay on it with nothing more to go by. When something comes up again, let the PD do what they do.
I think Mr. and Mrs Smart have done all they could. They worked hard at it. The media is backing off. Sad to say, but with nothing more happening, that is the way it is.
I believe this is bigger than anyone knows. I believe it will be known.
It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. The Smarts are suspected/criticized for being out front and the Ramsey's were suspected/ciriticized for not being out front.
