New thread...
RICCI: I don't know. I don't even think the Jeep has anything to do with the disappearance, to be honest with you. I just think if it was Rick's Jeep that was gone, it was just weird timing. Now, I did call the mechanic at one time, and this is important to me. I called him one time to talk to him about the mechanical problem. The mechanic went into a different mechanical problem. I said, no, the electronic fuel pump. and he conveyed to me, oh, I have two, three white Jeeps here now.
I hadn't heard this theory before. It makes some sense but Airbus still needs to build planes that won't come apart, no matter what a pilot does to manuever the jet. By the way it's good to have you back on the case Holmes.
Yes, great deduction. I'm sure you're right. And note she really doesn't admit to it plainly, you have to put 2 + 2 together to get it and she also throws in the smoke about the extra white Jeeps that could have confused Moul. Angela is a very clever, psycopathic liar and I'm sure she has learned many of her best lies, like throwing in the extra white Jeeps, from her P.R. person Pomeroy who is or was an employee of her attorney Smith who got her the $50,000 lawsuit settlement on her accident that she spent paying off Rick's debts.
Angela said she had her accident a year and a half ago and met Rick a year and a half ago. I'm sure this big lawsuit was a big lure she used to attract Rick. I would assume she settled her lawsuit back around February where Rick knew if he was going to get his bills paid off by Angela he was going to have to marry her. And why not marry a woman that drugs herself out every night after dinner leaving him all alone to go out and do drugs and cat around however he pleases. That's no marriage.
BY BRANDON GRIGGS THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
Members of the nation's largest polygamist church say God will choose the successor to leader Rulon T. Jeffs, who died Sunday in St. George. But a former church member said Jeffs' successor will emerge through less divine means: a power struggle between two rival leaders.
Jeffs, who led the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for nearly 16 years, will be buried in Colorado City, Ariz., to day. R. Scott Berry, an attorney for the church, said an announcement about Jeffs' successor would not come before the funeral. Beyond its First Presidency, the church has no formal chain of command, he said.
But former member Ben Bistline, who lives in the Utah-Arizona border community where the sect is headquartered, said the new president will be either Jeffs' son, Warren Jeffs, or longtime patriarch Fred M. Jessop.
Warren Jeffs and Jessop comprised the FLDS Church's First Presidency along with the late Jeffs. Warren Jeffs, 46, has managed church affairs in recent years as his father's health declined, although Jessop, 92, is more popular with church members in the twin towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Bistline said.
"The group here is . . . half loyal to Warren and half loyal to Fred," he said. "My personal opinion is that Warren won't be the leader. He doesn't have the support. Fred's the one who's got the [people's] devotion."
The FLDS Church has at least 6,000 members, most of them in Hildale and Colorado City. The isolationist communities have been dominated since 1935 by polygamists who split from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which abandoned plural marriage more than a century ago.
Rulon Jeffs, a former accountant who for years lived in a polygamous compound at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, was estimated to have at least 19 wives. He died at age 92.
The funeral service is set for 3 p.m. to day at the FLDS Church's 4,000-seat meetinghouse in Colorado City.
In the mainstream LDS Church, the senior member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles traditionally ascends to the presidency following the death of a prophet. The succession process within the secretive FLDS Church is more mysterious. Church theology dictates the current prophet must handpick his own successor, but if Jeffs did so before he died, church officials are not saying.
"The leader is chosen by the Lord. It will be revealed to the First Presidency in time," said Colorado City Mayor Dan Barlow, who acts as FLDS Church spokesman. Barlow said the towns' mood since Jeffs' death has been subdued but purposeful. "I don't think there's any unrest," he said.
Bistline disagreed. The Colorado City man, who left the polygamous church in 1987, predicted "turmoil" as Warren Jeffs and Jessop grapple for leadership.
Although Jessop is only four months younger than the late Rulon Jeffs, he rode a horse in the desert towns' July 24 parade, Bistline said. Warren Jeffs, who until 1998 spent most of his time in Salt Lake City, is less familiar to people in the twin polygamist towns.
Do you suppose Elizabeth could be HERE?
Angela said she had her accident a year and a half ago and met Rick a year and a half ago. I'm sure this big lawsuit was a big lure she used to attract Rick. I would assume she settled her lawsuit back around February where Rick knew if he was going to get his bills paid off by Angela he was going to have to marry her. And why not marry a woman that drugs herself out every night after dinner leaving him all alone to go out and do drugs and cat around however he pleases. That's no marriage.
What a slimy pile of nonsense! Sure does bother you that she allegedly paid off her husband's debts. That's what couple do who care about each other. Are you jealous of the Ricci's?
Whose "safe hands??"
RICCI: Well, I didn't have any medication at the time in question.
KING: Didn't?
RICCI: I did not at the time in question. I got in a severe car accident about 18 months ago. I was given the proper medication to take on an as-needed basis, and I've just been trying to recover from that.
Comment - So she has been hooked on the Soma's for the 18 months since she had her accident (the entire time she had known Richard Ricci. And now she's trying to claim she's been trying to get off them? If she is it's probably because her doctor won't give them to her any more, he was prescribing them to her for this great a length of time at risk of medical malpractice. Note she admits it is something you have 'to recover' from.
Let's carry your scenario another step forward in time Devlish. Now that Richard is dead then I guess we will soon hear from lawyer Smith as to what really happened. After all, Angela is really broken hearted about the situation with the Smarts and now that the drug lords can no longer hurt her late husband then I'm sure she'll waive her husband’s lawyer client privilege. Then LE can start looking for the real perp just like OJ is searching the golf courses for Nicole’s murderer.
Perhaps slimy, but certainly not nonsense. There is a possibility that Rick and Angela were truly in love with each other. They may have looked at the $50K as a way to get a fresh start, going straight, and staying clean. The one sad fact though is that money in the pocket of someone with a drug problem can cause real problems. It appears that both Rick and Angela got more involved with drugs during this time. As the money began to evaporate they would have been looking for ways to continue fueling their habits. The bank robbery and burglaries weren't worth the risk. Maybe it was time to make a really big score. Just a thought.
I do not consider this person a creditable source. No way, no time, period.
What source do you base this statement on, sandude?
That's like saying because they wore the same size shoe then they must have been identical twins. Stick to sleuthing Holmes and save your prejudiced views for some other venue.
An educated hunch varina. Have you ever known a junkie?
