I have yet to read an explanation of why Elizabeth and her parents/family missed the awards ceremony and recital the day before she disappeared and welcome any comments on this.
I'm very tired of hearing this untrue, worn out story about the family missing an awards ceremony and recital the day before Elizabeth disappeared. It's simply not true. Either provide a reference for it or stop cluttering this board with this silly innuendo that was a misunderstanding by a poster a long time ago and is kept alive by the sick element of Smart family haters that lack the legal perspective to understand this case.
You might want to lighten up on your criticisms of other posters until you've got your facts straight (and you could have looked up a reference as easily as I did). This information was reported by all the major news outlets which have been following the story, and I've never seen any retraction or correction, or any other indication that it isn't established fact -- except for your rather rude post, which I don't regard as a credible source. Here is the link to a Fox News article:
