Umm... are they reading this thread, sherlock? Only you would know, of course.
As for the rest of your post, it's nothing more than another batch of character assasination of those who disagree with your opinions.
(posting for anyone just getting on the new page here)
I am truly sorry for your loss and I believe that your family did all you could. I don't think the posters meant anything by giving Ricci a little longer to make sure he was brain dead. Evidently he had responses to stimuli and swelling of the brain may have hidden some minimal functions.
Some hospitals and doctors start telling the family to pull the plug too soon. I went through my mother's death and my father's. My mother died of an aneurysm, she was in a coma for a week. Logically, I knew she was dead, but wasn't ready to accept this. My dad and my older sister made a decision to pull support. I didn't even know they made this decision until many years later when my sister was crying about the decision. I would have hated to make the decision myself.
Now when my father was dying the doctors were definitely telling us to give up (about the same time the insurance was running out). He still had his brain functions. After he died, I told my husband that I didn't want any doctor to make the decision and to make sure I was gone before the doctors pulled a plug.
So I've gone through the experience and understand your post and really truly think you made the right decision, but I sure understand the poster that said make sure I'm dead before the plug is pulled.
I do think that MK has identified the abductor's voice. My speculation that she ID'd Ricci is based on the statements the family made between 1 Aug and 14 Aug. There is a movement in those statements from doubt to sureness that Ricci was involved. In between those two dates is Lois' original statement that MK had recognized the voice. I also feel that if MK had pointed to someone other than Rick then the family's composure at their press outings would have been much more animated, anxious that LE may break the case with the new lead. We should know fairly soon whether or not I'm correct. If she ID'd Richard then I can't think of a good reason to keep that from the public now other than waiting until after Richard's funeral out of respect towards his family.
I haven't said that but it certainly would seem that was the case. I would say though that most handymen are not ex-cons. Ed also has a predisposition to trust people because of his religious beliefs. Utah is sometimes referred to as the scam capitol of the world because people are overly trusting and gullible. I don't know if this is statistically true but it certainly is a problem there.
What ever time zone...in about 12 minutes from NOW.
I will do my best....In the meantime, you just run over to him and give him a big hug and kiss and whisper in his ear that you would love to have the t.v. for 5 min. LOL !! (right about then, a homerun will be made !)
Neenah....blood and fingerprints can not be dated...fingerprints are known to stay put for several years evidentally...
the only thing that I can think of that would put Lizzie in that jeep would be LARGER Fingerprints and red fibers from her jammies...
I am not saying she is dead....but we have to face the reality..
so if this is purely a burglary gone bad...why kill the child???.....why not just take your chances or run for the hills instead of killing the girl....how could anyone...how could anyone do that >>>
