This article really brings home a lot of facts that were just never said before....the fact that MK came to them and said those haunting words....the fact that indeed there was hard feelings between Ed and Ricci....Ed denied it but it was there....
My take on the feelings of MK are these:....I would pounce on my dtr to tell me everything right now if this ever happened to us....there would be no going easy on MK....there would be an interrogation right from the start.....perhaps, maybe MK feels a little distant now because so much emotion she had to keep to herself ...
children need to talk about tragedy...they need to vent..
..was MK allowed to vent..
.or were the Smarts told not to question her on anything in hopes of preserving her "memory"?.....BS...
..it was the worse thing to do in this case...
.better if mk was put thru the ringer that first week then to have 4 months go by without any resolution, and with mk obviously emotionally devastated that her only reaction now is coldness....
I hope the Smarts have been in contact with other parents who have missing childrem....Molly Bish's parents are still waiting for her "discovery" after nearly two years....she was about the age of Lizzie.....they could be a comfort....
