I am going to post Jeanne Boylan's new book cover, and then give the URL to read (if you want) exerpts of her book. I started to read it, and it is fascinating reading. I find her work fascinating.

Jeanne Boylan's new book.

I will post here, the URL for her book, where it lists about 17 pages of her book to read here on line, and shows Table of Contents, Front and Back cover also. I may just buy this book, as I find it fascinating work.

Jeanne Boylan, Sample pages.

The sketches on the cover are all pretty close to the suspect, but I think the one done by the sketch artist with 5 year old Sarah Ahn's help to be just as good.

I think there are probably some very good sketch artists out there.

[Neenah]

Oh I agree !! I am an artist, and I appreciate the work done by many in this line of work. I am especially interested in Boylan's work, because she does not do a drawing using a sheet filled with nose's, eyes, chins, cheeks, etc....in which the victim or person who saw the perp can choose from.

THAT is what is fascinating. Most good artists could draw a pencil drawing from using drawings of facial parts, and put them together, but the way she does it, is very unique.

I am not familiar with who you mentioned, sorry.

sandude...if you read my post, I was NOT berating you at all...I admitted we ALL have thoughts of what might have happened. ME INCLUDED....I was just trying to set a president that it is really better to discuss what we know..or what has been given to us...I need to take that advise, and I think everyone should...otherwise, we are going to have a thousand sceanario's of what MAY have taken place, and we will loose site of what has been presented so far.

I respect your thought. And I don't think anyone should be censored. ok ? friends ?

Neenah, I haven't been able to respond to your post because it is very busy around here today. I wasn't trying to be confrontational in my post to you. I understand your position and I feel that your contributions to this forum are valuable. I didn't feel that you were berating me, I just felt that it was inappropriate for you to suggest that my ideas may be leading people off track. I don't have time today but I will be posting my thoughts again and I will try to show that I'm using reason and logic to form my ideas. If there are those who wish to criticize my post they are free to do so. If they want to get nasty about it, that is also their prerogative.

When I post I try to speak softly, using measured responses that are free of emotion. I sometimes do not succeed but I always try. When someone uses all caps in words, as you've done above, there can be a feeling that the poster is yelling in order to be heard. I always try to carefully read what someone has said before responding and I try not to yell. So if you felt like I was being mean to you, I was not trying to be. I appreciate that you do not wish to censor anyone. I feel the same way. We should have the courtesy of reading posts and thoughtfully critiquing when necessary.

Samantha Runion's case. I think the 5 year ols name was Sarah Ahn.

Another one that impresses me as a good journalist is Carol McKinley. She is a "say it straight" reporter. No nonsense.

I agree, Neenah, she's one of the best.

Interesting information. Re: Divorce was planned...oh, brave one, you do know the flame-war is about to begin, don't you?

[varina davis]

The story is on the KSL website.

This station is owned by the LDS. Just a point of information.

[varina davis]

1. There was a divorce contemplated in the Smart family, but nothing was filed.

2. No one has been offically cleared

thanks for the update. Keep us posted.

[lakey]

Yes, but certain parties don't want to admit a divorce was planned.

[Vinomori]

If His mercy knows no boundaries, then why are we trying to direct it in one direction or another?

[cherry]

"Yes, but certain parties don't want to admit a divorce was planned."

a source has freep-mailed me saying that her/his source says that the Smarts were happily married...so I guess its dueling sources....lol

[Bella]

Yes, so true..

[sandude]

a credible source is one that can stand the light of day.

[Neenah]

When someone uses all caps in words, as you've done above, there can be a feeling that the poster is yelling in order to be heard.

sandude...Thank you for saying that. YOU ARE RIGHT !!!! (not yelling, just happy ) You know, I do do that, don't I !! I am an expressive person, and when I use caps, it is my dramatic's I guess, but not yelling. I understand what you are saying and I appreciate what you said.

When I posted that this morning, I hadn't read about 50 of the last posts. Then I read them, and tho I was not there, (not a night owl like you guys ! ) I think there was alot of things going on, and what you posted was kind of tame.I just enjoy this forum so much, and would rather joke with someome than get angry. So I will try not to TYPE BIG LIKE THIS AS TO YELL....ok??o.k. ?

I am so glad you wrote this, sandude, like I said, we all have our theories. Didn't mean to step on your toes. sorry.

[lakey]

Whatever happens on here tonight, I won't see it till tomorrow.

Being a night owl can only go on so long. Am going to sit in bed & watch "Meet the Family," then snooze...or whatever.

O'Reilly had a guy on just now (I didn't get his name, but I think he is a reporter in SLC) who said there is talk going around that Ricci would be given a plea agreement to avoid the death penalty. His part was to lead them to the body. Also LE was looking for the body now.
