Subject: Smart Photos Toned Down... Has Elizabeth gone GOTH? Date: Aug 31 12:32
When the Smart family first put the website online they had A LOT of super-posed, professional, way-morg, angelic pictures of Elizabeth. One can still be found here: http://www.ci.slc.ut.us/events/missing.htm
The Smart website is more toned down these days with more average looking, snapshot, and some candid shots. (no more richy-rich harp photos) See here:

Also, I heard somewhere that she had gone gothic in her appearance (probably rebeling). If that is true and her parents had photos of that and haven't posted them then it would seem as if they care more about their "Morg Family Pride" than recovering their daughter. Those photos of the different appearance would be CRITICAL in identifying her.
I think that the Smarts have toned it down because now with the media spotlight on other missing kids, Elizabeth would now have to compete with poor and middle class white, black and hispanic kids for media attention. You know, the "Unwashed Masses".
Just my opinion.
