There is something else going on here, and I guess your speculation is as good as mine (but not, probably, better).
I think your absolutely correct, Ranger. I think Boylan's implication today is the police don't want her to announce she made a sketch because they don't want to have to answer questions on why they're not releasing it to the public. The Smarts brought her in, I don't think the police needed it because I think they know who the kidnapper is. I think they are not releasing it either 1) because they are still trying to find Elizabeth and feel bringing this person in would jeopardize her or 2) because there is a coverup, i.e. Remington is the kidnapper and they let him out of jail accidentally and don't want to have to admit that to the public. We have never seen a picture of Remington and he was one of Ricci's small circle of partners in crime. The usual suspects have all been interviewed, which one fits the description?
I admire the way Ed Smart has taken control of the case, smoking out Newhouse and her testimony last week with his phony email story and now having the sketch made. I think the police know who the kidnapper is and they have NOT told Ed Smart. He's going to have to win his own ball game on this. I thought he would hire a PI this week but I have a feeling he may do it on his own now.
