If this is a potential suspect, it wouldn't be necessary for commonality of relgion or parental friendship to have been involved at all. Much more likely, it seems, for a common interest in the sport of running, jogging, etc. to have been a catalyst for getting acquainted -- even if just briefly.

That said, the proximity of all the Smart family homes to the neighborhood in question, is also very interesting.
