I am still hunting for more. What Jolly is saying is surprising me as I know that Ricci was working in the home as of September 2001 and had worked in the home for a few months.

Ricci spent two months doing painting and doing odd jobs around the Smart home through September of last year, and investigators said he has a history of violence. Dinse said Elizabeth's father, Edward Smart, paid Ricci for the work by giving him a vehicle, and the police chief said that vehicle has been found.

Again from the June 24th News Reports... (this why I organized these for times like this.) But this says 2 months, I heard Ed & Uncle Tom say a few months and that it ended in September of 2001.
