Well, Cookie, that would be adding something to it...we can't "suppose", cause Mrs. Smart only said (according to the report) that she recognised the voice of the abductor.

I wish they would hire an excellent pediatric hypnotherapist with great credentials and lots of experience, and hypnotize the girl -- videotaping the entire thing from start to finish ... so they could find out if she knows, but has suppressed, identifying information about who took Elizabeth.

The videotape would be proof that the hypnotherapist did or did not suggest any of the answers to MK.

If this had happened in my family, I'd make sure my child talked to a therapist, Boylan (may have name wrong) the artist, and arrange for hypnosis if necessary. (Of course, I would do all this only if it were not harmful to my child.)

I would move heaven and earth to find my missing child. I would hire a PI. I would try not to compromise the investigation and the gathering of evidence against the perp, but I would put finding my child first.

This case has been bungled from day one.
