Special thanks to Brigette for starting this timeline. |
I have never on this thread said who I think could be guilty. And I can't now. Other's have taken the little bit of information we have been fed, and in their own words, built a case, and told how they thought they carried it out. That is fine, but it is a waste of space if I DO IT, or anyone does it. We just don't have enough information.
We have seen in the last month, the PD are no longer giving press conferences. We in the last month have only seen the Smart family. Now, hear me. (omg..I sound like James Trafficant there ! LOL )I can understand parents being distraught. However, I think, possibly because of the Smart standing in the community, and the wealth aspect, they have more clout than say, little Casey's Mom.
Having said that...I think Mr. Smart and this entire wealthy family, is used to that kind of treatment of being on top of things in many avenues in life. I have traveled in that kind of circle, and believe me, I know how that is played out. Not that it is bad in most cases. But THIS is different. Some may say.."How is this different ? " I think it is different, because we are now seeing many conflicting things being said. Things that can't be proven..(email, letter, etc), and basically, the whole country that is paying attention to this, some of them have stated as such. There is just something wrong here.
In the matter of life and death, kidnapping and possible murder, there is one venue we have in America, and that is the Law and the Judicial system. There is a time, after the initial act happens, that the family speaks..but what I have seen is the family has contradicted the police, or gave out a little information just as a tease, before saying " I really can't tell you more". This is the time, then, when they do this, that to me, is the time they should leave the Police do their job. The family needs time to rest. I know I would NOT WANT TO REST !! NOR WOULD YOU !!..but I do have the feeling that the Police and F.B.I. would rather they stay off television now, at least. I feel they are hindering by calling the press and going on t.v. at this time.
I think there is something bigger than a kidnapping, and I have no clue or basis for saying so. There are just so many things that are very odd. They have all been talked about at random here at some point, so I won't go over them. Besides, when I try to speak, I invariably get those BB Guns shooting at me ! I just have a gut feeling that this is bigger than we think.
I just pray that the one who is guilty of this, is arrested. I sincerely pray that no matter what it is, that justice will be done. And most of all I pray for the innocent child that had to live this.
You're a saint, Neenah!
I believe you're correct, Bella.
Never heard anymore about that since they said there were a few who were away..
Every board online, which means thousands of people, have been doing just that including people from SLC of every denomination.
Exactly, no doubt about it!!
Elizabeth has been deprived of so many things this summer because of this, and there's no doubt she's going to have some psychological problems from the trauma. Such a shame!! I believe Lois said Lizzie is strong so she will do well when she's returned because I feel they KNOW she's alive. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, and as we've seen, there's a lot of whackjobs on the streets.
Boylan also said that this time she was called by the authorities. She did not answer about "the voice" MK heard. Could not answer.
She said there was NOT a discrepency in the changing of the baseball cap vs. the golf cap. It was not changed by her. (You will have to re-listen to the re-broadcast to get the exact words)She stated she is NOT a psycic artist.
She had high praise for MK and high praise for the police, and said when this gets to court, no mistakes will have been made. She said MK is very much aware of things and is pro-active, which is good.
I have been working all night, trying to get this picture of the Ricci Wedding loaded onto my website, and it will NOT LOAD !! Grrrrrrr....it is a good picture showing his height next to her. If I don't get it loaded tonight before my eyes go bad, I will try in the morning..
Iwo Jima...if my eyes get worse, can I be Secretary? hahahaha !!
They had both been raped, and because of the Amber Alert, they were about 10 min. away from death !He had heard the helicoptors, and was parked by trees ready to kill them , when the police moved in !!
They were laying down in back of truck with duct tape on ther body. They were clothed. He pulled gun on police, and they (two officers) fired at him, he raised his gun after being shot. They killed him,,shots in the head.
Those girls are alive !! They will have a long way to go to heal..but thank you God, they are alive to heal.
I can't help but think had some mistakes not been made early on in the Smart case, we wouldn't be wondering today. So sad.
