yeah, and mk described the "intruder" as 5'8, 30-40yrs old, dark hair, hair on arms and hands...if she could see hair on his arms, then she would've seen the one physical trait most prominent on ricci; the Giant Paintbrush Mustache. and if ricci was the perp, he knew mk saw him, and would have at least shaved.

I don't think anyone thinks Ricci was the person that went in the house and took Elizabeth. But by the fact it was his M.O. having broken into the neighbor's house in the middle of the night, used the pistol in the bank robbery, and bragged to his friends what an easy place the Smart house is to knock off, and his inability to explain his actions with the Jeep (or even acknowledge he had the Jeep) or tell LE who he left Moul's Repair Shop with on Jun 8, it's pretty obvious he was an accomplice in the crime. Ricci knew where Elizabeth's bedroom was, probably had a key to the house and knew how to get in if he didn't (like the neighbor's sliding door, he bragged to his friends it was easy to knock off), had the pistol from previous crime, and had the idea to give to the accomplice.

The man Ricci left Moul's Repair Shop with on Jun 8 matches the description of the person seen by the milkman, the man seen on video in a Federal Heights convenience store shortly before the kidnapping, seen by Fred Trujillo in the Shriner's parking lot just before driving up into Federal Heights, seen by MK, seen by the searchers when the gunshots were heard (red, blue, & green tatoo), seen digging the pig roast pit with a blue SUV, and seen by Moul leaving in a blue van.

Ricci's mustache is important. Seems that it would have been a dead giveaway.

The problem we have is that they have been so weird about telling us what did Mary K. see/not see, we don't even know if she really saw the guy's face.

One other thing is, we've seen plenty of mugshots of Ricci, showing the mustache but we don't know when they were taken.
We saw video of Ricci in court, from July--and he had long hair and a mustache and scraggly beard. I think he could have grown the facial hair in a month and a half--I think that was the time that had passed. Are there any pictures out there of Ricci, from right around the time of the abduction? That's what I'd like to see--on the mustache question.

And one thing which argues in favor of what you said about the mustache is, since I think every picture shows him with one, it's likely he had one at all times. (If anyone remembers a pic of him w/o a mustache, pls tell me. I don't remember such a pic.)
