Also, early news reports said Ricci at first told police he'd been out with friends the night of June 4. Whatever happened to that? The reports also said that Ricci at first told police (when they questioned him the evening of June 5) that he'd gone to a drug clinic that morning. They checked, and in fact he hadn't been there at all.

Now I am assigning you home work. I think I have overread everything out there, but I guess I missed these two things. I never read of this, or heard it in interviews or press conferences. soooooo

Rack your brain and try to find the source please. I am sincerely interested in reading this. You say it was reported. This is the first time I ever heard that. I must be slipping. In fact, I don't remember anyone on this board talking about that, or a big deal would be made of it with all the posts about Ricci. Thanks.

About the story that Ricci had initially said he was out with friends the night of June 4: This may have been from an interview with Angela on TV, or a police press conference. I'm hoping it was LKL, b/c then the transcript is available. I'll look for it, and for the bit about his initially saying that about the drug clinic. I seem to remember that the drug clinic thing was very early--so I will look at articles around June 24. I think the first reporter told the public about Ricci on June 22, and my earliest memory of reading about him is June 24.

Also, don't forget that the attorney, Mr. Smith, said things about the jeep such as, it's not unusual to rack up a lot of mileage just driving around the valley in the SLC area (so 500-1000 miles, no big deal), and he also said Ricci had told him he'd taken the jeep 4-wheeling. That was on LKL. But then there was also the contention by Angela, later, when she'd appear w/o Smith, that she and Rick just had no idea where the jeep was during the mystery period, and that Rick never had it at all, and Neth must be mistaken about Rick ever coming to get it or to turn it back in.

I remember posting on another forum; I'll look there, too. I posted that if he'd been out with friends earlier in the evening on June 4, maybe he had dressed all natty--nice khaki pants, sport shirt, golf hat, dark shoes...remember they said MK described the man as nicely dressed. I posted that in reaction to having heard he'd claimed to be out with friends; it was weeks ago.
