My, my...I seem to have struck a nerve with my blasphemous suggestion that maybe Tom Smart isn't an abductor or murderer, after all.

I realize I was questioning accepted dogma there. If I am cast out as a heretic, perhaps I will be joined in the wilderness by a few other tortured souls, and we will be called the Cult of Tom's Innocence.

Heaven forbid anyone should question accepted "fact," and re-think early conclusions that were made based on rumors of polygraph results, dislike of pushy news media people, and bizarre remarks made on Larry King Live.

This gives you a true sense of the deep hatred of the Smarts on these threads.

as much as i think tom's behavior is almost self-incriminating, i really don't think he abducted liz either. i see him as a "cleaner". if i were in ed's shoes, older brother tom would've been the first person i would've called for help. tom is a veteran newspaper man, knows the ropes and has many contacts.
