After meeting with other family members at his father's house around the corner, Tom Smart said he returned with other family members to Elizabeth's home. They found the kitchen window open and the screen cut.

Hmmmmmm, I don't remember this.

They went to Charles' house. It sounds like the "family" was already there when Tom stopped there.

Maybe Ed told him they would be going over to the Dad's house?

What do you think?

"After meeting with other family members at his father's house around the corner, Tom Smart said he returned with other family members to Elizabeth's home...."

I have to say, I found this strange, too. We have heard all about how friends and neighbors were called in to offer support, to help look for Elizabeth, etc.......I would have certainly thought that the family would have been a part of that. Instead, it seems that they went around the corner to meet at Charles' house before going to Ed's, or at least shortly after arriving at Ed's.

"Charles" lives near the former bishop.

the discovery of the cut screen story is one more bit of evidence of coverup. there are 3 different versions from 3 different family members; ed said one of his sons discovered it first; charles the oldest son said lois discovered it first,[both of these versions were before the family left the house for the 3rd version] After meeting with other family members at his father's house around the corner, Tom Smart said he returned with other family members to Elizabeth's home. They found the kitchen window open and the screen cut.
