Wouldn't it be interesting to hear the Smarts' 911 call? Strange that the police allowed media to play Samantha's friend's mother's call...

MK: Inaudible.

Ed: Wakes up with a start. “What’s the matter, honey?”

MK: “A man took Elizabeth!”

Ed: “What do you mean a man took Elizabeth? When?”

MK: “A long time ago!”

Lois: Lois rouses sleepily. “What‘s wrong?”

As he runs from the room, Ed shouts back. “MK says a man has taken Elizabeth!”

Wide awake now, Lois follows Ed as they run to check out the other bedrooms because Elizabeth sometimes goes to sleep with her 3-year old little brother or stays up late to study. They run down stairs searching room to room........... the guest room, the study..........

Mary Katherine came [downstairs] and said, “You're not going to find her. A man took her."

Ed runs back to MK and shouts at her. “How do you know a man took her? Did you see him? Do you mean a man come right into your bedroom and took her?”

MK: “I heard him wake her up and make her go with him. I tried to come and tell you but I saw them on the stairs. I was scared so I went back to bed and stayed real still like I was asleep.

Lois sees the cut window screen and screams. Ed runs to phone and dials 911.

Ed and Lois question MK. “How long did you pretend to be asleep? What did the man say? What did he look like?”

MK tries to answer them.

Ed: “Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”

MK: Sobbing, “I was afraid. I thought he had a gun.”

Ed: “Did you see a gun?”

MK: “It was dark and........ He had something........ and he made Elizabeth go with him. She asked him if he was abducting her and he said......... He told her to get her shoes.........”

Ed runs outside to look around. In panic, he runs across street to neighbors.

Lois: Almost hysterical. You should have told us right away!”

MK: I was scared....... I t-thought he had a gun........”

Lois: “But did you see a gun? “Why didn’t you come and tell us?”

MK: Sobbing now, “I d-don’t know.......... I was scared!

Lois: “Did he say anything else, like why he was taking her?”

MK: Sobs uncontrollably.

i'm sure that, along with the police-log files that confirmed ed called family and nieghbors before calling police, the 911 tape is long gone.
