Ya right! I supose that Hunger a Lingering Problem for Utah Poor is somehow related to the case. That article falls under the Duh! category. Hunger is a Lingering Problem for (Pick your own state) Poor. Hunger is always a problem for the poor! This is news? This is relevant?

If you remember correctly, there's been articles on this board about the people having stockpiled food on their shelves in their basements. Plus, since more than 70% of the state is mormon, and the church being as wealthy as it is, the "poor" could easily be helped out. Plus, those tithings that are collected weekly. Why aren't they helping the people.

It is one thing to "learn" about the state, and quite another to feel compelled to share anything negative about the state with other FReepers. Why is it that you never share any positive articles about the state? Aren't you interested in learning and sharing postivie stories? No agenda, that's a laugh!

I have no idea what "postivie" is, but am hoping you meant positive. If you notice, most of the time I post entire articles which contain positive and negative things..but since you think you've gained the award to "police" this thread, you're worried about being scrutinized. Give it a rest JG, and let the chips fall as they may! Why cover things up no matter where and what they are anywhere!

Chances are this guy could be waiting for an opportunity to "influence" the only person who saw him.

Most if not all indications point to Ricci as being the guy who went into the house. I know that position is not popular among some posters here. I do believe that LE and the Smart family have become convinced that Rick is the guy. His accomplice would be worried about Ricci giving him up. He may not care one whit about MK. She would have never seen him.

I noticed that one of the photos of Ashley Pond shows her wearing a woven choker necklace, nearly identical to the one Danielle Van Dam wore. It's an eerie coincidence, just as photos of Elizabeth Smart and Casey Williamson had the exact same background.

So true..what's your impression of this?

And exactly what was in the ceremonies that shocked you so much. Please share.

And if I had "personal security" for my daughter, I sure wouldn't blab it all over the media. I'm sure Mary Katherine and her brothers will be watched pretty closely at school. But one can't put their children in a bubble for forever, at some point in time, normal living has to take over.

Absolutely..They have sort of returned to normal life, remember they had a 4th of July party. The authorities have their job to do and that's to investigate what happened to Elizabeth, where she is, who's responsible, and the authorities should prosecute whoever is involved without any questions.

There's many people who are saying runaway also, even on the mormon boards...I've also read that they felt MK didn't wake the parents up earlier so they would have time to get away..

Anything is possible.

Only those that are grasping at straws.

Everyone on this thread is "grasping at straws" --- since there are pitifully few facts to go on.

As I've said before, I'd say they're watching the person who's involved and waiting for them to screw up big time! There's too many obvious oddities from day one in this case. But, the fact remains and there's no escaping this, one day when they're number is called, they're going to answer to the man above for this.

I agree and have from day 1. LE is hoping either the alleged kidnapper or the person who helped her run away will tip his hand.

I still go back to an early plea by Lois Smart (paraphrasing), telling the person involved that it wouldn't work out for him to have her for himself -- words to that effect. That's not something one would say to a suspected bonifide kidnapper. Those were words that sounded like the mother suspects someone either took her or cajoled her into leaving so he could have constant access to the girl.

How about addressing the subject of my post?

Do you mean that Elizabeth may have been taken into the slave market? I haven't seen anyone disagree that that might be a possibility. I certainly have suspicion of the police. On the Westerfield thing, I thought you were one of the people that follow that, must be someone else.

What site are you referring to Sherlock? URL please.

TIA

We don't know that they're telling us the truth in this article, she may have personal security. I'm sure whatever decision that's been made has been made by FBI profilers, psychologists, and other experts consulted in the case.
