As far as I can see the only place where this homosexual diary story comes up is in the NE.

I imagine that's true. I'd be in shock if the SLC Trib. or Deseret News managed any in-depth investigating.

Reading the 9/29 SLC Tribune article makes one think Ed must be a marathon runner to have searched his 6,000 sq.ft. home for Elizabeth in 3 minutes flat. He looked at his bedroom clock, remembered that it said 3:58 a.m. when Mary Katherine woke him that, "A man's taken Elizabeth."

Again, as he was rushing through the house, MK came downstairs and said, "You're not going to find her. A man took her."

What's wrong here? MK WOKE Ed at 3:58 a.m. The parents' bedroom IS downstairs (where a burglar would find material goods of worth to pawn, if that were his intention to begin with).

Nobody asks MK, what man? How do you know? Any number of questions could have been asked in a matter of a few seconds.

Ed admits that both he & Elizabeth are sound sleepers.

I'm a sound sleeper, & it usually takes a while for conversation to register, the length depending on the gravity of the message. So, Ed may have immediately woken & jumped out of bed. But there's only 3 minutes till 4:01 a.m. & dialing 911, & that's a lot happening in such a short time.

Why should they when a paragon of journalism like the NE is on the job. I've been patiently waiting to them to do a follow up on their Smart sex expose. I'm sure they've interviewed all of the male escorts in town and are really going to blow the lid on this thing. Or maybe NOT.
