They have his car on videotape at the hospital.

I suspect that they may also have a video tape from the Phillips 66 station across from the mechanic's shop. It was fairly modern and probably has a taping system for inside and out.

Good point, Jolly. Hard to believe police are just now figuring out who this guy is.

Another interesting twist in this case is the matter of the man with the missing tooth. Early on in the case a composite was released of a man with a turbine and missing front tooth. Police later said they found the man, he was someone who had been seen talking to Elizabeth at a concert and they just wanted to ask him what he was talking to her about, and they had now cleared him.

Then, voila, a few days labor a neighbor shows up, friend of Mrs. Ricci, that's missing a front tooth. In 3 interviews I've seen of this fellow he's had 3 personalities:

1) First interview he gave testimony very damning to the Riccis, about Mrs. Ricci going Somatose on her medication where noone can wake her and that he knew she was using them the night of Jun 4, that Ricci was banging on the neighbor's trailor on the morning of Jun 5 and he was drinking beer at 8:30 am repairing a hole with a 2x4 when there were other big holes under his trailer, that Ricci gave a weird reportoire about how cute Elizabeth was and would follow him around and help him at the home, that Mrs Ricci had gone around the neighborhood and made sure none of the neighbors had seen Ricci leave at night and that she did this to make sure no one would be saying anything to contradict her testimony Ricci was there with her, that at first he thought Ricci could not do this because he's such a nice guy but he's seen such a different side since Jun 5 and now he thinks he was involved.

2) He hardly said anything, a blond was interviewing him at the side of his trailer and he looked extremely scared and guilty I thought.

3)On LKL he really didn't gave any information, some of the info from interview 1) but in a much less accusatory manner.

My question is how many people missing a front tooth can be involved in a case, and is the fellow next door really just a helpful witness for the police. It seems a little bizarre to me that Ricci would have been banging on the neighbor's trailer at 8:30 in the morning without telling the neighbor he was going to do it.

What is the significance of the hospital video?
