Ricci did not originally tow that jeep in on May 30, he towed it in or had it towed in before May 30.

As for Moul being told not to discuss certain details, then why would Moul be spilling his guts to a national audience on 2 different shows?

"middle of a repair cycle"

Repair cycle?? See, you also at least seem to see that that jeep was in that shop for too-long periods of time, for it to have just been repairs!

If the lost keys thing was part of a plan, it was a very poorly-conceived plan, and not worthy of our charming con artist Ricci. How could anyone (varina, please ignore this) believe that ridiculous key story? Talk about a tortured scenario! And if the story is utterly unbelievable, what good is it to its creator?

So if this missing jeep thing was reminiscent of the caper where Ricci loaned his truck to a group of scumbags that ripped off a food bank with it...does that mean he loaned his jeep to someone else? Then if the jeep was used for the abduction, wouldn't that mean Ricci wasn't the one who did it? I can buy this, except I just think he didn't VOLUNTARILY give up his jeep to be used by the said scumbags. I think they TOOK it from him b/c he hadn't paid his drug tab.

Angela, have something to hide? Will wonders never cease! I think Angela goes through every moment of her life hiding something, simply from force of habit!

I don't know where you get this idea. Everything I have read is the Jeep was towed in on May 30, the electronic fuel pump was repaired, Mrs. Ricci called and confirmed it was drivable and told Moul her husband needed it and would be picking it up, and I read in one place early in the case where Moul said Ricci came in and told him he needed it for some emergency. I also read yesterday where Moul said Ricci asked him for the keys to the Jeep when he picked it up and there was indication Ricci signed for it. Moul said there was other work that was to be done on the Jeep other than the electronic fuel pump but it was picked up before the rest of the work was performed.

...does that mean he loaned his jeep to someone else?

I wasn't trying to imply he loaned the Jeep to someone else, just to show the tie in to a former M.O. of playing a shell game with custody of the Jeep, in this case him parking it away from his residence and later claiming it was in the repair shop all the time.

I think they TOOK it from him b/c he hadn't paid his drug tab.

I discount this theory. First it's completely you're personal speculation, there's no basis for it in the facts of the case. I think Ricci was involved and provided the key and information on the general layout of the house and the location of Liz' bedroom. I think it was Ricci that met the kidnapper in the hospital parking lot and made the transfer of the key.
