agree
Neenah, I don't understand your anger at this. Would you please elaborate?
Sherlock, cheap shot.
agree
If the abductor is someone they knew then this scream is really bad news:
They say that when a coyote kills a rabbit, the yelp resembles a child's cry. What Steve Voss heard in the early hours of June 5 sounded much more human.
Voss, a gynecologist, was on call so he was sleeping in the back bedroom of his Federal Heights home. He was awakened by his wife who was in the bathroom.
They heard a car racing down the street. It was 2:30. "I drifted and then I heard what I thought was a yell or a scream. It sounded female," Voss says. "I've never heard anything like it before." Dogs started barking and Voss went downstairs to check on theirs. He looked at the hills behind Tomahawk Drive and saw nothing unusual. He went back to bed.
It sounds like this brutal scream came from the barren hills above his house. Click link on post 129 to see the map.
Sure, first go back and read my reason for being mad in Post # 114.
If you are a parent, you never, ever, want to see any one of your kids go through ANY HURT. From a little scrape on the tiny knee to WITNESSING A KIDNAPPING AT GUNPOINT.
I get very mad at this man for insulting my intelligence, by trying to convince me that any parent of a little girl who saw her sister kidnapped at gunpoint, would not talk to her about it, one, for her sake in later life..and two..to help find the perp as soon as possible.
This man is a wimp..and an Ostrich in my book. He is hurting the investigation, hurting the 9 year old, who will live with this horror all her life, for crying out loud...and this family is trying to convince us that it is NORMAL to not even talk to her? THEY, THE PARENTS, DON'T EVEN TALK TO MARY CATHERINE ??? WHAT ? If you don't find something wrong with that. Good luck ! It makes me very MAD !! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE, PEOPLE !!
>Beyond weird. Unless... she has an idea where Elizabeth is and who she is with.
Please, Bella, if she has any idea where Elizabeth is and who she is with don't you think the FBI would have tracked her down. I'm sure all the technology in our country is available to LE for this case.

What are you on tonite???
\ That's what they say. "If you don't find something wrong with that. Good luck ! It makes me very MAD !! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE, PEOPLE !!"
No kidding! If this were to have happened to my daughter, you'd better believe I would be talking to my younger one! Worry about the psychologist later...she would need it no matter what!
What time did Angela Ricci go to sleep?
What is the travel distance from the Ricci trailer to the Smart home?
How many things had to take place before the perp did what he had to do to get there,(get dressed,go to car, drive out of driveway etc.
get inside..
get the girl..
have her get her shoes on..
maybe get to the bathroom (not fact yet)..
get out of house...
go to the waiting car.
.get up into the hills,
and assault her to have her scream ?????
let me know....( Sreams in the hills at 2:30, remember.)
Ricci didn't go to trial. This is how they bring them in for sentencing, monkey suit, handcuffeds and chains.
What do you people expect them to say in public, this is what the police have told them to do. I'm sorry but a lot of you people have no perspective of the situation and no comprehension of the facts of the case, only your shared joy in your hatred of the Smart family. You're all in your glory tonight.
You can bet your life I would be shaking like crazy, and wanting to get to that #$%@%&*$.
I sure as heck would not get on national t.v. and "MOAN" about RICHAAAARD not being my friend, and saying " I WAS SORELY DISAPPOINTED in him" AND end it with..
"HOPEFULLY THERE ARE GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM "
WHAT????
The first quote is from a prosecutor's website, American Prosecutor's Research Institute.
Child development is a far too expansive discipline for an article of this size to cover in depth, but the following are some basic points to keep in mind.
* Younger children are very concrete, literal thinkers. The ability to think abstractly does not develop until approximately age ten or eleven, and it is not until the later teens that children are able to describe an event in a detailed and time sequential manner equivalent to an adult.
* Children, particularly younger children, are highly egocentric. They view themselves as the center of all activities and can only experience and remember events according to their own point of view. They also view adults as omniscient and assume that everyone has the same knowledge and experiences that they do.
* Linguistics can present a major barrier for children, whose vocabulary expands faster than their comprehension of the language.7 For example, while children begin to understand prepositions at around ages four to five, a mastery of pronouns does not occur until ages nine to ten.8 Nor do children fully comprehend space, time, and distance concepts until their early teens.
The result of these child development factors can be a child victim or witness who has experienced and clearly remembers an incident, but who has difficulty understanding and vocalizing the experience in adult-appropriate language that follows a logical sequence with dates, times, and places. It is critical to remember, however, that ?even very young children can tell us what they know if we ask them the right questions in the right way.
(I found the above to be very interesting, especially in light of J. Boylan's interview last week.)
Another important method for facilitating child witness testimony is by preparing the child for court. Testifying in court can be an intimidating experience for any witness, much less for a child whose only understanding of how courts work may be based on television shows. Common misconceptions of younger children include that only bad people go to court and so they could go to jail if they give the wrong answer, or that adults know everything and therefore repeated questioning must mean the original answer was wrong. In fact, children do not obtain a full understanding of the legal system and the various roles within a courtroom until their teenage years.
This is the first website I found, I am going to find more. I'd just ask those of you who have said you'd turn MK inside out to get the truth, to read the website...
One of the basic facts of the case Neenah is Thurber, Angela's neighbor, testified to the grand jury Angela was out of it on Somas (somatose as he and Ricci laughingly called it) on evening of Jun 4 so no one knows if Rick Ricci ever went to bed. This was confirmed by Angela's friend Newhouse that said Angela told her she was out of it on Somas that night. Did you miss this testimony?
Do you know this for a fact??
"only your shared joy in your hatred of the Smart family."
You've got to be kidding me! I don't hate the Smarts'. Where do you get off! If there are those that do, then the Smarts' need to stay off the air, because they are not helping their cause at all! They say the same thing over and over again, which is nothing!
Sherlock, you actually believe this? They told them not to question their 9 yr.old? The police don't want to question the ONLY witness to this crime?????
If your daughter was missing now 2 months, and you got the chance to be on the big show..LKL....you would spend your time saying this? (he has said it more than once)
And for your information, speaking for myself...HOW can I HATE the Smart family? I don't know them. I am taking WORDS RIGHT FROM MR. SMART'S MOUTH on national t.v...and in transcripts. It is his words, his alone.
I question the oddity of it..the unnaturalness of it. You tell me, you would say the SAME THING in your 5 min. blurb on t.v. when your daughter may be MURDERED.???? amd you berate ME ??
