This is so pathetic!! Mr. Smart, no matter how berieved he was, and confused, screwed up big time with 40 - 50 people in the house...
Ed Smart said he recalled 40 to 50 different people inside his house that morning, most of them family and members of his LDS ward whom he called for help after first contacting police.......he directly CAUSED this whole mess. I am not saying intentionally, but directly.
For the police to not disipline the officer's in an "OH WELL ! " type of attitude is like the L.A.P.D.
While admitting their mistake, police also downplayed the impact it could have on this case, which has remained unsolved for three months.
Read the above statement again...the police downplayed the impact it could have on this case.....why?....cause they know what happened to Elizabeth? Just a thought.
In any case I have read about or followed, this step is very important. They have been very casual all along..and for weeks on end now..silent. Why? There are strange statements coming from both ends...LE and Family. Not my words, but in transcripts and print. Talk discussions, and internet...backyard talk, and phone talk. Here on this board, and by professionals and common folk alike. THIS CASE STINKS and something is very wrong.
I'll go you one better, Neenah.....not only did Ed Smart screw up, so did all 40 to 50 of those people!! Out of all those people, didn't ANYONE stop to think about protecting a CRIME SCENE? I can see it slipping one person's mind, but 40 or 50 minds??? Of course, it sounds as if the police were doing nothing to stop it, either......
Once again, it calls up my questions about MK's "armed gunman" story......WHO was told about the armed gunman and WHEN were they told? These people were all milling about the house as if there were no armed gunman and no crime scene to be concerned with........
And a very good thought, at that, Neenah.
