WHAT????

[MinorityRepublican]

Hmm, getting interesting now.

[inflorida]

Any more details?

[Fred Mertz]

Is she alive? I pray so.

[RCCFighter]

Nothing else. Just a banner on Foxnews.com

For some reason, I am not surprised.

What are you talking about? Is this the Smart girl or a new abduction?

[inflorida]

Looks like they are close to a break in the case. Hopefully Elizabeth is alive...

You mean the 14-year old taken from her home that has been in the news. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but when I read the headline I literally thought it was about the Freeper 'Utah Girl'. Any chance the headline could be altered slightly, say "Missing 14-Year Old Utah Girl Abducted by Family Member"?

Wonder if it was the uncle? I heard him on Hannity's radio show earlier this week refer to his niece as a "woman" and then quickly correct himself. I found it quite odd. Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know, I need a little more tinfoil for my hat.

From KSL TV, but this article could be older than the Fox News infor:

Police Looking at Extended Family?

A Salt Lake newspaper says investigators believe the kidnapper of 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart could have been a member of her extended family.

The Salt Lake Tribune said in a copyright story Thursday that detectives have been unable to explain how the abductor could have entered the house through the small window that appeared to be the entry point.

The newspaper, which said the information was from four law enforcement agencies, which it did not identify, said investigators have surmised that someone who was already inside the home may have tried to make the window look as though a break-in occurred there. It said the screen appears to have been cut from the inside.

Police have said the window was not in the bedroom shared by the girl and her 9-year-old sister. They refused to say where it was located and they refused to say whether the screen had been cut.

Police spokesman Fred Louis declined to confirm or deny that the screen had been cut from the inside. He would say only that police were not going to discuss the physical evidence.

Regarding the newspaper's statement that the abductor might have been a member of the extended family, he would only repeat the statement police have made all along _ that they have not ruled anyone out.

My money is on the Uncle. He is acting wayyyyyyyyyy too paranoid. Keeping Mr.Klass away and well known sketch artist who did Polly's sketch and the unibomber's.

[MinorityRepublican]

It has to be the Smart girl from the news. Since it has been only a few days since she was kidnapped, there is hope that she is still alive. We can only pray for that.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Sorry, meant that for the thread's author.

LOL! The first time this story was posted, the headline read..."UTAH GIRL kidnapped!" I thought, oh my God, someone has kidnapped Utah Girl, as in Freeper Utah Girl. My heart skips a beat every time I see a headline like this.

[bonfire]

The uncle is wierd ...no doubt about it...but I'll refrain from judgement for now.
