Thanks for the info... Who brought in this P.I.? Or is he just working on his own? (BTW... the guy name is Bret Michael Edmunds). What else did he say? Does Edmunds sister live in the area?

The PI acted on his own. He mentioned that since gathering info and investigating is his business, he was curious about the Smart case and came up with the previously mentioned information, but was shocked others involved in the case hadn't.

He didn't give details of his conversation with Edmund's sister. It was obvious that he thought it best for police to filter any information gleened through interviewing her and didn't want to make anything public. The guy was very professional, but exasperated at the lack of investigation on Edmunds.
