On the shoes they were smaller than mine but not by much so I stated that they are probably a 71/2 to 8 shoe.

I finally was shown the imprint of those shoes, but I had to give it back. They are keeping that very tight lipped thats why I was so definite on the shoes because I just knew something and then they gave in but still wonder what kind of shoe they are.
All I can say to people, is dont always believe what the press or especially the police say on the air, they dont quite tell you the truth because thats how they weed things out. As for where I was, the problem is sheriffs did come out and search, but they were not the ones on the actual case, so what would they really know?

I also have received some jolting news from another police officer that was on the ricci case which inturn involved him on the Elizabeth case. Some of it is his own opinion and some of it is fact.
his opinion- ricci didnt do it not involved at all with that case. but at first he was 85% sure he did.
fact--
ricci didnt take his jeep someone else did, yes they know who it was. (dont ask, I dont feel good about stating this right know.)
There is more than one person involved.
They are working with a psychic and the report is, well lets just say my phone rang.
They are looking very close to two people, (yeah go ahead and guess).
Ricci investigation is.. he was involved in something else and they are still working on this, there is someone else they are watching that has a meth lab and keeps leaving and coming back with mud all over his truck.
Someones alibi doesnt match up. (cant say his name either).

Thanks very much for the info, Scaredkat.

So the jeep did go somewhere. People used to speculate that Ricci had lent his jeep to someone that week. I didn't pay much attention at the time. It seemed to me that he had little enough as it was, so why would he be lending out his vehicle. BUT more recently, I realize that one of Ricci's priors gives a clue, maybe. He was convicted of receiving stolen food from that food bank in Sevier County. He had LENT HIS TRUCK to a person who proceeded to use it to burgle the food bank. Ricci was given some of the loot, presumably as payback for having lent the truck. That's what got him in trouble--having possession of stolen property from a burglary that was technically done by someone else.

So Ricci had lent his vehicle to a fellow criminal at least one time.

And then when I keep seeing mentions of methamphetamine labs, it begins to get me going again on my old idea that the "disappearance" of Ricci's jeep from Neth's, on May 30, maybe had something to do with illegal drug running or illegal drug sales or something, and maybe that's why he refused to explain about where the jeep was--b/c he'd have known that anyone who told police anything about a drug dealer's doings would be in very great danger of being killed. The posters on Capitol Grilling long ago speculated that maybe the jeep got mud on it b/c it was used by someone harvesting marijuana, but later they said that that didn't really fit b/c it wasn't harvest time for marijuana that time of year.

So the officer now thinks Ricci wasn't involved. Yeah, but if his jeep was involved b/c he lent it to someone, with friends like that, who needs enemies? (Or did someone associated with the auto place just borrow the thing w/o permission?)
