You're right, there hasn't been a direct statement that there was not a gun. Instead, it has just seemingly "disappeared" from everyone's account of that night. The gun is the one thing that distinguishes this case as a forced abduction. I think it is very strange that it's the one detail that does not appear in this article. We'll see if it resurfaces in subsequent articles.
Wouldn't tell her Daddy?
Ed tells the SLC Tribune writer that she said a three word statement..and then later, downstairs, says another dry statement?
Sorry, that I won't believe. Is Mary Katherine a normal child? I mean she isn't challenged, is she? The reason I ask, is because normally a chlld of that age, would know what a threat was, more than a 4 yr. old. But a "challenged" young girl, may not come right out with it.
This is in no way anything other than a question to answer the possibility of why she would not tell. If she did tell..THAT should be upper most in any interview. ELIZABETH + GUN + ABDUCTION...is the story.
And...It should have been the first thing out of Ed's mouth to 911
