I dont post much on these Elizabeth Smart threads, tho I do lurk each and every day....

Whenever a child goes missing the family and the circumstances of the childs disappearance, always seem to be fodder for us...the longer the case remains in the public eye, and the more exposure it gets, the more the family comes under scrutiny...not only the family, but the state were it occurs, the religion in general of the family, and on and on...

Some feel this is not fair, others feel that all circumstances are fair game...Whatever the family does or does not do, how they react or dont react, how they talk, whether they try to carry on with a normal life, or put normal life on hold is all scrutinzed...

It may seem unfair, but at heart, I do believe that most posters are just trying to get at the root of what exactly happened...

I live in Northwest Washington, just a little over a hundred miles from where the two Oregon teens were found murdered...it breaks my heart for the parents of these two lovely girls...Here in northwest Washington we have had our share of serial killers, and child abductions, and these cases break ones heart...

Another serial killer is due to go on trial soon, a killer who killed women in both eastern and western Washington, and the harm and damage he did to countless families was horrendous...he killed many young women, and left their families lives in disaster....

I only hope, against hope, that somewhere, somehow, Elizabeth will be found alive, and returned to her family...

I guess I have added really nothing concrete to the discussion, only wanted to let the more avid posters know, that there are many who lurk, without saying anything, and yet do greatly appreciate all the input shown on these threads...
