Are you trying to say that there was no seat cover as his relative claims? Moul has stated that there was a seat cover in the back and that he had put a grease mark on it during a previous visit.

No...I not claiming that... he probably had front seat covers and that is probably where Moul got the grease on the seat before from getting in and out of the front seat. What I am saying is front seat covers are easy to get for the Jeep, but rear seat covers are not. Since now most are saying he was an Indian Blanket on the rear seat... then I believe that. Actually that is what I ended up using to cover up rear seat up in my Jeep, but mine was Mexican blanket like they sell as throws at Wally World, but I bought mine down in Mexico. What I find strange is that if she was in the Jeep and he was trying to hide something by removing the blanket he used as rear seat cover, why leave the newspapers behind, why leave all the mud on the Jeep? Also if he used a blanket as cover the blanket has to come all the way off to fold the rear seat down. If I get time tomorrow I will take a snap shot of the rear seat of my Jeep so that some of you can understand how it works. The removal of the blanket really means nothing to me because he left the newspapers behind. It is possible that he removed the blanket and folded down the rear seat and balled up the blanket and set it in back or maybe he used it to protect the rear part of the Jeep carpet from landscaping plants or pots that he was planting with the post hole digger.

Maybe Ricci had girlfriend on the side, maybe he was too broke to get a hotel or maybe they could not go to her house because she was married, maybe his girlfriend called to get the Jeep out so that him and her could go take a ride on rough terrain and to take a romp in the back part of the Jeep. Trust me you don't want to be laying on that rough carpet in the back. Maybe the Jeep got stuck in the mud and they had to leave it. All this time he not going to tell Angela hey baby I was screwing such and such in the back of my Jeep and if he is innocent he knows the cops are not going to find anything on him or in the Jeep to connect him to the crime because he was not involved and that same time he not going to tell police that he screwing around on his new wife because they will tell her and he needs her more than ever now. Yeah Yeah... I know Ricci was no stud-muffin, but hey Angela is not down right ugly and Ricci may have been a real charmer to someone that also was a drugie like he was.

Something tells me that Liz is stuffed in a neighbor's chest freezer in the ol' neighborhood. I hate to say it but that is what I believe. Due to Ricci's past and his connection to the family made him the perfect suspect for police and it even made it worse when he would not acknowledge were the Jeep was. My guess is that Ricci had a girlfriend, maybe someone that was not drugging herself everynight. Ricci was player, Angela wasn't rich... but she was steady and understanding. The possible gal on the side may have been able to take care of his drug fix and maybe she would hand him money at times. Ol Ricci got off of his hypertension meds, because he had a wife to satisfy now and maybe even a girlfriend or maybe he could not afford it since the state pen was not paying for it anymore.

I know I am being crude tonight, it is just another possible scenario to this puzzling case. You have to look at both side of the fence. I want to know what the police had on Ricci, what would he not tell them and what did he tell them ???

I recall hearing that Ricci's wife said the jeep did not have seat covers. Also I recall reading and hearing on the news that the seat covers were really blankets that covered the seats. I can't give any sources for reports of seat covers vs. blankets.

There is one thing I wish we had and that is a chart with Ricci's known activities for the dates and times during the days the jeep was out of the repair shop. We have some times available: i.e., when Ricci was seen digging by trailer, taking neighbor and his son to a movie, and his work days. I wish we had a list of all the known days Ricci actually reported to a job and the hours from when to when.

We might find that Ricci really didn't have time to travel any distance from SLC, and it seems some here have already figured that out. Someone else, and not Ricci, had the jeep during those days it was out of the shop.

The accomplice had to have kept the jeep hidden until he left SLC with Elizabeth and he was gone the whole time until it was returned by Ricci to the shop. There is some place in or around SLC where that jeep was parked because Ricci did not have it to drive or someone would have seen it and told, so where was it?

Did the repair shop clean the jeep thoroughly before the police picked it up? It was returned dirty and covered with mud? There had to be some DNA left from whomever had that jeep, and I think the police have that DNA evidence. They probably haven't been able to match it up with anyone yet or we would have heard about it.
