| Theory(?) | Facts | |
| Richard Ricci has been identified as the prime suspect in the case, though several of his "theme park" pals are under suspicion. | - Ricci is a 5-time loser, having been convicted of burglarizing a food bank and shooting a police officer. He has recently been indicted on three additional state charges including theft at the Smart residence and burglary of a Smart neighbor. Additionally, he has been recently indicted on three federal charges related to two bank robberies. - Ricci worked for the Smarts last year for several months and was paid with a white Jeep in lieu of cash. He had full access to the house and may very well have had a key to the Smart residence. Ricci and two others were fired when some items were stolen from the home. Ricci later approached Ed Smart and said he wasn't involved and wanted his job back. Ed Smart declined to rehire him. - Ricci lives in a trailer park in West Jordan that is now referred to as a "theme park" because of the large number of Ricci convicted felon friends living there. - Ricci has no credible alibi for the period during and shortly after the abduction. He is believed to have put an additional 1000 miles on the Jeep during a period when he claimed the Jeep was in Moul's shop. Moul also reported that Ricci removed several trash bags, the seat covers and a post hole digger and carried them across the street. - Ricci had both opportunity and motive. |

| Ed Smart and Richard Ricci were gay lovers. This is based upon Ed Smart's pleading before the media for Ricci to come clean, where he used phrases like "Help me, Richard". | This theory was eloquently refuted by Jengaio and it hasn't reared its ugly head recently. | |
| Elizabeth Smart had a nose ring, must have been rebellious and ran away. Later, proponents shifted emphasis to "piercings" so as not to offend those who believe this to be utter nonsense. | Numerous photographs of Elizabeth Smart show no indication of a nose ring and the existence of a nose ring has never been reported by any credible news source. | |
| Moul, the mechanic, lied to the grand jury and in TV interviews. Some of the scenarios: He knows more than he is telling; his eyesight is bad; he made it up; he is in cahoots with Ricci; he used Ricci's Jeep without Ricci's permission. | Moul has no criminal record and no motive. What's more his vehicle logs corroborate his testimony. | |
| Elizabeth Smart's aunt, in a televised interview said the police "are working with us". Implications: This surely must mean that the Smarts and their influential friends and church must be controlling/thwarting the 100-man SLCPD/FBI task force | While this is "grasping" of the highest order, we will ask Jengaio to analyze the phrazing. | |

P.S If NOTHING has been said further, something sounds wierd to me.
Bump. I ask this question about once a week and no one has an answer.
There are 20 home sites that will range from 3 1/2 to 6 acres. Each site will have power, gas, phone, culinary and, most importantly, irrigation water rights. The sites have been available for less than a month and six have been sold.
Each of the home sites will also be outlined with state-of-the-art horse fencing that will blend into the environment.
"We thought it was important to fence each lot," says Dumke. "First, it allows people to see the property lines and know exactly how large each site is. The sites are, really, large and very impressive.
"Second, it binds the community together. With the landscaping and the fencing, I think people will really get the feel of what Winterton Farms is all about."
Lots of post-hole digging going on at the Smart/Dumke property.
That certainly explains why the FBI is searching in Emery county where Ricci connections.

Ricci, everyone agrees, received the Jeep from Ed Smart, "Mr. Trusting Generous," in lieu of wages. Think about it. All Ricci has to do is to say that the items recovered by police from his trailer were given to him by Smart. There's no proof that the man entered the Smart home & burglarized them, much less kidnapped Elizabeth.
Ricci knows the law. He ain't about to tip his hand.
Always think MOTIVE. Think PROOF!
Moul could very well have lied to cover allowing someone to use the Jeep. Orientals are often tight-fisted in business deals, & they're not especially trusting. Certainly he would wash the vehicle so Ricci wouldn't know. That's Detective 101, for Pete's sake.
Ricci may have robbed the bank with his pals. But the DA still has to prove it.
Jolly Green, you are stuck in one monotonous gear, Ricci. FReepers aren't going to figure out this case, sorry - because we do not have enough legitimate information - because nobody involved in the case wants us to. Even with Condit/Levy, we had more valid info than we do here.
Rest well, good-night!!
