Read Sherlock's message right before yours...There's a lot of things going on with this so-called abduction..and as you know, there's been MANY things covered up by the media and officials as I've read on FR, isn't that correct? Always remember this--$$$ talks, BS walks.

Why did police decide to change the description of the kidnapper's attire from the kidnapper's attire to Ricci's attire?

We need to check the timeline on this because I don't believe the police changed the description of the kidnapper's attire - except the cap. I have reason to believe the police had the correct cap info, but for whatever reason it was reported incorrectly.

What kind of cap is it now?

[Sherlock]

It wasn't just the cap that was changed. And any timeline you find will be a timeline provided by LE. They never say what they took in the first search, just that they took evidence. I definitely read that they saw the polo shirt on the first search. They may during that search have seen all these items of clothing and taken them during that search and claimed to take them in a subsequent search. And a date is never given for the 2nd search, and any date that would be given for that search would be provided by LE and may or may not be accurate. There are also varying stories, one article said these items of clothing, slacks, shirt, and golf hat, along with the machetti, were found in the father-in-law's shack clearly implicating Ricci as the kidnapper and this is where he stashed these things. A lot of different stories on this I submit to you, Jolly.

A preliminary search on the cap indicates that the police reported that it was a tan golf cap in a UPI story on 06/15. The Feds didn't confiscate a cap at the FIL until 06/28 according to the SL Tribune. Why do you keep claiming that the police changed the story AFTER they found the cap at the Ricci's father-in-laws?

Maybe the man had waited around so long, he needed to relieve himself

if this is the case, then the cops can get DNA from the toilet seat, because as we all know, men always miss their target a little.....

The younger sister said the perp had hairy hands, hence, no gloves.

So....what about finger prints about the house from perp?

Seems there are no fingerprints from Ricci. If there were prints in the house from the kidnapper, someone would have been arrested by now.

Most of Ricca's pals are criminals, so there would be prints on file.

Something is very fishy here.

Or he was wearing the backless driving gloves. Anyone who thinks they are so cool that they can wear a golf cap, might also feel they should be wearing cool gloves.
