"There was a lengthy article in the Tribune or Deseret News which refuted this. It states that LE was on the scene before any neighbor arrived and that the Smarts called police before anyone else."

The ONLY thing in that article (Deseret News, 09/07) that refutes the original police reports is a single statement by a single neighbor, Suann Adams. What the police are accepting responsibility for is the 3 HOUR delay in securing the house AFTER their arrival.....nowhere is there an official retraction of the original police reports that neighbors were already in and around the house when they arrived. In fact, the last paragraph of the article reads as follows:

"In this case I'm not criticizing them (the police)," (Deputy District Attorney) Morgan said. "We had neighbors running around trying to find Elizabeth. It was the ward function of the year where everyone was trying to help. By the time the police got there, they had to undo the chaos before they could begin reasonable forensic procedures."

Does this sound to you like there were no neighbors present when the police arrived? What constituted the "chaos" that police found upon their arrival? Can you find any statement in this article that amounts to an official retraction of the original police reports? All I can find is the statement of one neighbor......Suann Adams.

Does this sound to you like there were no neighbors present when the police arrived?

If you read the whole article it states that police arrived on the scene whithin 12 minutes of the first call and that no neighbors were present. The statment by the deputy DA is second hand and refers to the point in time when detectives arrived which was 3 hours later. Why do you think Suann Adams would not tell the truth?

About this D.A., or Deputy D.A., Morgan. I note his glib statement, that the supposed chaos was "the ward function of the year." This is not the only rather glib, slightly sarcastic-sounding statement I've seen this same person make, referring to Mormons and their church.

In an article about alleged child-molester and ex-bishop Dixon, this Morgan said something to the effect that maybe Dixon was "fleecing his flock."

I get the feeling that Morgan isn't too crazy about the LDS church. As I said once b/f, if someone shows me proof that he is himself a Mormon, obviously I will turn out to be wrong. But I don't think he is, and I don't think he likes that church much. So, with a D.A. or deputy D.A. who doesn't even seem to like the LDS church...well, that would be one person in SLC who isn't in on the gigantic, mysterious, evil plot by all the law enforcement and church and prominent people there, to pull the wool over our eyes.

And there she is: Sue Ann Adams again. How well does she know Ed Smart, and how could he have recommended Ricci to her before April 2001--unless Ricci was already working for Ed before April 2001? Why was a shirt from Sue Ann Adams' house found among Ricci's property, over a year later? Ricci only got out on his last parole on September 12, 2000.
