>Yes, I agree, he does know what's going on.

Is Ed Smart the perp? Uncle Tom?

>And I've come to the conclusion that withholding what they know is a form of child abuse.

So MK is being abused because her parents aren't telling LE what she told them?

>He's relaying messages via media, assuring the culprit that Ricci can be made to take the fall.

Why, so he'll give Elizabeth back?

>Law enforcement: Well, one of the first things my pappy taught me was, "Follow the money." Also look to officials' egos.

Where do you think the money went? Is there a certain way you think officials are suspect here?

An LE guy on another show I saw tonight said that a guy who does burglaries at night, going into people's houses (like Ratliff did, by implication), may have sex on his mind too, and at some point the burglar goes from thinking about it to acting on it.

That was the LE guy's explanation for how one makes the leap from burglar to sex offender.

The ones you find most interesting are those who are not privy to case evidence and have no clue about this particular case.

Been spending lot of time on the phone with your cop friends in SLC? Repressing your thoughts and feelings??

Of course, she did, Lakey. Any child would. And any mentally competent parent would make sure every question they had was answered. The only way this would not have happened, is if there was some sort of complicity by one or more of the principles.

Exactly..

Which, of course, makes them much more objective than those who believe they have the facts, but have none.

So true..or they're in denial.

The family and the media have characterized MK as being "terrified" and that's why she waiting - from this story it sounded like she was anything but. Comments?

Agreed. It sounded like she could hardly wait to go tell the parents.
