(AP) Elizabeth Smart's family has hired a Los Angeles entertainment attorney to help them screen movie and book proposals about Elizabeth's abduction and remarkable return.
Kelly Crabb, who reportedly has negotiated contracts for Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews and Muhammad Ali, was hired a week ago, said Chris Thomas, the family's spokesman.
According to his firm's Web site, Crabb's areas of practice include motion picture, television and other programming production and financing; composer agreements, personal appearances and motion picture distribution.
"These kind of contracts are very specialized," Thomas said.
Crabb received bachelor's and master's degrees from Brigham Young University before earning a law degree from Columbia University in 1984. He also worked for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Elizabeth, now 15, was abducted from her bedroom on the night of June 5. On March 12, she was found in a Salt Lake suburb with her alleged kidnappers.

The only way a Movie or a book can be constructed, is if there are more details provided about her 9 months missing. Interesting point. I think te family will try to get any sex, either forced or otherwise, omitted from the story. They will probably wind up with no takers, and the story will come out with sensationalist rape scenes.
Remember the Buttafucco(sp?) situation? Like, 20 different made-for-tv movies, each with a slightly different fictionalized take on the story.

It was lightstream, myneself and northernlight. All three claimed to have inside knowledge and they played Demidog like a fiddle. FormerLurker came later in the mix, I think.

It's tough that you can't take the scorn that represents only a tiny fraction of that which you and others like you hurl toward the Smarts.
Oh, and what is the difference between them, and you?
Their daughter was kidnapped.
You are a piece of work.

It's possible..and I don't see anything wrong with it. I just don't believe that the cops were in on the conspiracy..and if there is a conspiracy, the cops would darn well know it.

Our billy is quoting Shakespeare now:
"What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so." --From Hamlet, Prince of Denmark - 1601 - Act II. - Scene 2. - Rows: 115-117

I think it was lightstream, now that you mention it.
The good "Dr." above is now claiming to have special "taped" evidence, so he "knows" stuff about the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping that no one else is privy to, it seems.

To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
It is not easy to have "conspiracies" inside police departments. There are just too many ears to hear, and they are under the public microscope anyway.
Even if a "conspiracy" is begun, it can't last indefinitely. Too many would-be Woodward-and-Bernsteins out there.

Sure, Kim...WE certainly were emotional, but for a good reason. A child was murdered. You bet emotions were high.
I never said Hildy is a Drama Queen, but I do think she has a potty mouth.

How much publicity has the police dept's actions been given, in comparison to the laci peterson trial? I know the peterson case, they are very quiet with no leaks..
