I believe this is significant, because he didn't mention it in earlier interviews, and now he throws it in. Maybe that's where he got the idea for this charade.
This has been out since day 1. It is not new news, and Ed Smart just didn't throw it out all of a sudden. The neighbors did have an abduction attempt, but one of the kidnappers ratted out the other one before the abduction took place.
It was almost like a Saturday Night Live skit with John Lovett. As soon as the media starts discussing the size of the window and that it didn't seem likely that a reasonably sized person could get through it, the father comes out and says: "Oh yeah....that's right.... I just remembered that I left the garage door open....That's right...yeah."
Give me a break
