It sounds like incompetence not to get back to the neighbors that heard noises in the night. The time of the kidnapping might be pinpointed more accurately.

I would like to hear the call Mr. Smart made to 911. I would also like to know how long it took the police to respond and also a follow up on who was called first, the police, family members, the bishop, or neighbors.

Incompetence or .......

There's many unanswered questions..which comes back to who's running the show & calling the shots...

The cops took the call, sent an officer AND took the report. Best case this helps establish the time of the incident at least as the people remember it. They certainly don't have anything definitive i.e. license number or even a good description of the car. If they did, it would be reported.

Now why do the cops need to re-interview these folks, other than to satisfy your curiosity? What are they going to say? We actually didn't tell you the whole story the first time?

The police have stated that the first phone call from the Smarts was to the police. I've heard a neighbor of the Smarts say that Ed Smart called them, she and her husband leaped out of bed, got dressed, and went directly to the Smarts' home, and the police tape indicating a crime scene was already there. The police say it took about seven minutes to respond I do believe, Ed Smart says it felt like forever...
