Utah Man Sought in Missing Girl Case
By RICH VOSEPKA
Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — More than a week after 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart disappeared, police said Wednesday that they want to talk to a man they think may have information about the girl.
They are searching for Bret Michael Edmunds, 26. He is probably living in a 1997 green Saturn with Utah license plate number 266XJH, police said.
Elizabeth was reported taken at gunpoint from her million-dollar home last Wednesday between 1 a.m. to 2 a.m They were not calling Edmunds a suspect, but said they do want to talk to him. They had identified him through a partial license plate number provided by a milkman who had seen a vehicle in the area arround the time of the girl's disappearance.
Authorities said Edmunds is also wanted on two warrants — for fraud and assault on a police officer, Sgt. Fred Louis said. Police said he may have been in the area.
Tuesday, Police Chief Rick Dinse said the investigation was looking at those who had access to the neighborhood or the house, although not necessarily a family member. He said they have received some promising leads in the case.
Officials from the Utah Department of Corrections have given police a list of dozens of names of known sex offenders on probation or parole, but nearly all of them have been cleared, said Jack Ford, an agency spokesman.
Well, we call him the Schwann's guy...and he also sells frozen meals and ice cream. Some of our neighbors fondly call him "the milkman". Don't know who the milkman is in this case or who he works for, just thought I'd throw that out.
Milkman?....don't milkmen usually wear light colored clothing (or am I watching too many Andy of Mayberry, Leave it to Beaver reruns?
I didn't even know there were anymore milkmen. My goodness I am 45 and those went out here in Texas when I was a child.
Your self-righteous misinterpretation of my comments were not appreciated. Perhaps you should look to your own thoughts and ask yourself why you translated them as you did.(Inkie)
I was referring to the fact that no one knows her and would wonder if she would tell lies to another for attention.
There are some of us poster who must hold our tongue towards those posters, who can't help in engaging in speaking unfavorable another they really don't know!
I pray those around your children are more charitable
Maybe my word (gossip) was a wrong choice, but I feel one is innocent until proven otherwise!
I guess they would have be 18 to be an Elder, right, and thus no longer legally an "adolescent"?
I am so often reminded as we see the country going downhill, of how Joseph said, "When all others have forsaken it, the ELDERS OF THIS CHURCH [that is, the young men 18-23 or so] will rally around the U.S. Constitution, and save its tattered shreds."
I also often remembered, back in 1964 when it was fulfilled, how Brigham Young preached a sermon in 1858, I believe it was, in which he said "The time is coming, when the President of the United States, will COME TO US IN THIS CITY [SLC] to SEEK OUR ADVICE as to HOW TO GOVERN HIS PEOPLE ARIGHT."
Tact should be rewarded!
I think you need to get out more, Homeschooler. The emotional ranting displayed in your last 2 posts would suggest a serious case of cabin-fever.
lol!
You know nothing about me and my home habits, dear. Perhaps you should reconsider your own posts (namely **she's dead**) and calm down.
I think it best we end this discussion with one another.
Now, if you'll excuse me...it's time for me to take my daughter to track and field class.
Normally that "stay" mode is programmed into the system at installation, so it's very simple and internal motion detectors are automatically disabled. But what happens in reality is that the customer says that they want MAXIMUM security. That they want all or most internal motion detectors operable even when everyone is still inside home, that once everyone is in bed they will arm the system and it won't be a problem. That lasts for the first couple of false alarms when someone goes downstairs for a glass of milk then the homeowner just decides it's easier not to turn it on.
If they had had a properly installed system on all doors and windows and had it initially programmed so that if it was armed and no one left the home after it was armed, whoever took the girl would have tripped it when he breached the perimeter and this would not be a story. Very sad, but people just don't take this stuff seriously. They don't think it all through -- it's part of being in denial.
PS I do not sell alarm systems, though I did once. I am, however, a Personal Protection Instructor on a volunteer basis.
