How interesting quoting CBS on FReerepublic. Anyway, I thank you for that aspect, I will take that part of it for what it is worth. But it is incomplete in my view. 'Thomas said' might be good enough for you, but barring further explanation it isn't enough for me.

As example, will the family spokesman for the Duke accuser say things that reflect positively on her? Of course they would. If they wanted to bury it, they would say just that huh?

It does not offer explanation for the weight gain and changes in her appearance. It also is not a question asked of and answered by Elizabeth herself. So, in effect, you have exposed that it is you who needs to dig some more, maybe a little deeper that top lines on google would help.

I watched it all play out, after she was gone until after she was home. All along something didn't sit quite right. Many things about it don't seem quite right, especially now with the advent that this man will not even stand trial, singing in court is a tactic not a reason not to try him. Why not try him? Something he might say maybe? This would be anothr example, to me, that things just do not fit. BTW, that didn't come from a google, it came from watching it all play out as it happened.....and is happening now.

Funny thing is that parts of what I feel about this is a wee be bit harder to come up with. You can think I know nothing, that is your right. I have questions and if you think you have answered them all, well it is your right to think that.

My postings are genuine and I have real feelings that there is WAY more to the Smart story than we know and I have stated why I feel that way.

You might buy into anything you read on the internet and take it as fact, I choose to question a bit deeper. The weight gain and physical changes I noticed stick with me just as something stuck with a certain FReeper about a certain set of Documents. At first it was not so explainable, it took some questioning and digging. Doing so produced fracturing results to the source you cited. Now didn't it? You fault me for doing that very same thing, so be it.

You can hammer me for my feelings al you want to, go for it, but just like a FReeper thought there was something more there, I feel the same way about this.

Faqcts are useful when making claims of fact. That is not what I did now is it. Maybe now you can see the difference. The fact is that Elizabeth has never answered this question ( though I concede a spokesman has made statement), weight gain and changes go unexplained and now the whole thing is swept away without so much as a prosecution. It is these facts that draw my questions, becasue something just doesn't fit.

You say that I should think, but when i show you things that make me question, you simply dismissthem and claim i am not thinking. I am questioning a few things that go without answer that lead to my perception. You say that is wrong to do, I accept that you think it is wrong to do, but me, I think it is right to do and I have every right to do it.

And it damn sure doesn't make me a troll.

My postings are genuine and I have real feelings that there is WAY more to the Smart story than we know and I have stated why I feel that way.

Feelings are not facts, nor do you offer any facts to support your feelings other than more feelings and perceptions, which again are not facts.

You are not the first feeling oriented person to voice your opinion on this subject on the internet. This is a really well debated issue on many forums, especially the true crime ones.

Since you are apparrently unable to use the internet to do research I will give you a thumbnail sketch as to why your feelings and perceptions are poorly received by those of us who rely more on logic and facts.

Weight gain can be explained by natural growth and your perception of actual weight gain is just that, a perception. There are many others who look at the same pictures and perceive negligible change in weight for a girl her age.

Also, the main photo distributed to the media was from when she was 13, a year before she was kidnapped and she was 15 when recovered. A two year difference that more than easily accounts for your perception.

Not of this change my feeling and perception that you are an ignorant and biased gossip either too lazy or to stupid to educate yourself that prefers to deal in speculation and emotion rather than facts or logic.

This picture of Elizabeth Smart (at age 13) was seen across America on billboards, buttons, missing posters, and in the media upon her disappearance on June 5, 2002.

ES (age 15) with her family shortly after her return, she is now as toll as her mother.
