[Rodney King]

Hours before the abduction, the Smart family returned from an end-of-the-year function at Bryant Intermediate School, where Elizabeth was supposed to perform her harp. Her family arrived too late for that, but she received awards for academics and physical fitness

This is also newsworthy. Who would be late for something like that? Perhaps there was a big fight at home. If not, I'll bet that Elizabeth was pissed when they got home, or her parents were pissed is she was the reason they were late.

Not that one would kill over that, but it is highly likely there was a family conflict over this, the night of the "abduction". A fight on a night like this is certainly interesting, and I am sure is being pondered by the investigators.

This "family fight" business is nonsense. They have six children. They probably had to go from one function to another. That's happened to us before when our six children were small. Nobody gets hysterical. The family saw her get her awards. They are obviously supportive of her harp performances. She wouldn't get excited because they had to miss one.

What is with all you people who want to believe the worst about this poor family?

Again, if you read the story, and all the others on this topic that have come out in the last 24 hours: The dad reported the open garage door to the police during his initial interviews on June 6. Read the story before you start spinning your mean-spirited theories. The media have just now picked up on it.

It's time for the Smart family to come clean with the facts of the case. They have played on the public goodwill for massive amounts of aid. The search, organized to help them, would have cost several million dollars a day, had the searchers been paid a decent wage for working on the Smart family's behalf.
