"I've felt for sometime that this was a kidnapping for ransom that just didn't work out for the perp."sandude, maybe you can explain this to me.....you're good with logic. If someone had wanted to kidnap Elizabeth for ransom, why would they have chosen this incredibly risky M.O.? Why not grab her from school, from a harp lesson, from her jogging route, etc.?
"My very first thoughts on the case were that Ed owed money to some nasty characters and that they were holding Elizabeth until he made good on his loans. I gave up on that idea after the FBI found no evidence supporting it."
Here's where I REALLY hope you can help me out.....where is the source containing statements from the FBI on what they have or haven't found in this case?? I've been very curious to know what the FBI has been up to, but I haven't seen them tip their hand on anything yet. Can you direct me to some info?
I have been reading the ongoing dialogue on the Salt Lake Tribune. Here comes my two cents worth.
I don't put alot of stock in the printed word of newspapers. I have had several occassions when I was involved directly in a story and the details were wrong and the quotes were wrong. I have yet to be in one that was totally accurate.
I have found that writer of such an article can skew things the way they want. Also, somtimes they just plain misquote a person and give a wrong impression.
Having said that I don't think the article can be taken word for word as accurate.
That is why I like the live interview and transcripts from those type of shows much better.
But it did give some interesting things for us to talk and read about!
