Someone else posted recently about a former bishop--that his wife had given birth to a new baby just a couple of days before. If this is the same former bishop, then he would probably have no alibi for the night Elizabeth was taken if his wife was still in the hospital.

That's what some people are wondering. The birth was in either the Salt Lake City Tribune or Deseret News archives. I don't know which Ward was his, or if any of the extended Smart family were members of his Ward. Maybe Utah Girl would know.

No, we had a big discussion on the location of this ex-bishop vs where the Smarts live. I think someone even tracked down where Lois Smart's parents live, and tried to compare the addresses. If I remember correctly, Foothill Blvd separates the two area, they're 10-20 blocks away, uphill (the grandparents.) The Smarts live at least 20 minutes away by car from the neighborhood this guy would have been bishop over.
