Unless the guy in the pic is related to the Smarts, then Elizabeth is likely dead. Why would the police release a picture of a red herring suspect if they actually suspected a family member? They'd be sued out the wazoo by the person in the photo. So my take is the guy in the photo, if he isn't a relative, was hired to either kidnap her(for ransom, revenge, etc.) or to dispose of her.
