Nonetheless I heard it.

The most interesting thing to me is her comment to the police, "Oh...you think I'm that Eliz. Smart girl who RAN AWAY!" I've heard that quote a couple of times now from the officer who found her. I just heard it about half an hour ago, on more time, on the Michael Savage show. I heard the tape replay.

Why would Smart, HERSELF, think she was A RUNAWAY? The media ALWAYS played it as an abduction in the middle of the night. If this street prophet had no access to a TV, then Smart never saw the TV explanation that she had been abducted.

Since they were wearing "burkas" Mitchell could have been Islamic. Renegade Mormons are not the only ones who teach polygamy.

"The most interesting thing to me is her comment to the police, "Oh...you think I'm that Eliz. Smart girl who RAN AWAY!" I've heard that quote a couple of times now from the officer who found her."

She was kept up in the mountains the first few months and was not aware of any of the media hoopla over the case. I think it's very likely that she was TOLD by her captors that everyone things she ran away to make it easier to convince her that the search for her was abandoned. With that kind of time and the right manipulation, you could abduct a girl and get her to think she ran away too.

I find it interesting that SHE brought up the name. I wonder if it was a deliberate attempt to signal the police without tipping off her 'minders'. She only denied being Elizabeth then when they were around.

The jerk is an ex-Mormon however, he was excommunicated a long time ago.
