It's to my understanding that they're unable to enhance the license plate numbers. :-(

According to attorneys interviewed on cable news shows that have had experience with night videos as evidence they will be able to determine the make and model of the cars from the profiles of the cars and measurements of distances between points on the cars on the still photos they've made. The hardest car to determine was the 2nd one that came in and was only there a few seconds but the FBI told the security officer when the car left and did a U turn and came back they got clear shots of it coming back. This in and of itself is not enough evidence to indict anyone but will continue to build the case against the two parties that perpetrated this kidnapping.

With all due respect, I cannot imagine a burglar ransacking a house for loot with a kidnapped kid in tow. That just defies credibility.

I certainly agree with you on this one.

I didn't say it made sense. We know that after MK came out of her bedroom, the perp and Liz were still in the house. Why? A professional kidnapper would have been out of that house in 5 seconds - assuming Liz was the target.

"powerful grassroots venue"

I like to think it is....

this is the place to be if you want the unfiltered news right away....

if FreeRepublic is anything...its a community...sometimes argumentative...but still a community with similar values

[Bella]

Did I hear this correctly on O'Reilly from the guy reporting that uncle Tom's file is not clear yet??

[Bella]

Regarding the discussion of what MK witnessed during the alleged abduction.......I see a huge part of the picture missing.

Absolutely..this is why I postd previously that MK should be w/ the authorities alone instead of being shielded as she is..I'd be wanting to speak to her..remember way back they said she was sent to the grandparents--why?? She's the key witness..

[drjulie]

I think I heard this from a reporter at the end of Greta's show. She asked if the family was clear and I think he said Tom still has an open file. Interesting - maybe because of the polygraph??

I'm not sure this is news. Everyone is still a suspect, but some are more suspect than others.

[Bella]

Yes, and don't forget they've stopped him from speaking anymore..they should give him another test and dig deeper, very interesting..

A professional kidnapper would have been out of that house in 5 seconds - assuming Liz was the target.I've thought identically to what you're saying. However the story that MK was going to see her parents and saw the kidnapper and Elizabeth was not part of the original story, just like the English golf cap was not part of the original story, so I don't implicitly believe it. I think if they were still in the house the most probable reason to me would be because Elizabeth and the kidnapper knew one another and they were discussing why he was taking her.

[cherry]

one other thing that Greta asked which I thought was boffo (is that a word..lol)....was she asked a former special crimes investigator who is now a defense attorney why the cops did not have the whole family leave the "crime scene"...he said it was a judgement call...and if they did it for the this case they would have to do it for all missing or presumed abducted persons

[dalebert]

Stay on your soap box. You are doing a good job. We should all do the same. As for Liz, I think the cops are clueless.

[Sherlock]

Yes, and don't forget they've stopped him from speaking anymore..Uncle Tom was on Larry King tonight.

[CindyDawg]

Every family has a hot head. I watched them on LK and they all seemed to be more alert and on guard when "Uncle Tom" spoke. He seemed to be having a difficult time playing nice. JMO but he seemed to be struggling to hold himself back when LK asked about how he felt about the kidnapper. CD

[dalebert]

Why would a thief steal and then keep the loot around? Strange.

[stlnative]

Uncle Tom was on Larry King tonight

I'll second that for you Sherlock! It looks like they have not hushed him up too much ;-)

(Sorry Bella... I do not believe the family is involved or that they are hiding anything that relates to the kidnapping of their daughter and relative and I also do not believe that Ricci is involved directly.)

[stlnative]

Can anyone pinpoint the bank robbery date and the name of the bank that was robbed that Ricci may be faces federal charges on? I would like to research it if I get some more information on it.

Interesting point. Sort of makes one think it wasn't really a kidnapping.

[varina davis]

Did I hear this correctly on O'Reilly from the guy reporting that uncle Tom's file is not clear yet??

Didn't see the show, but I doubt anyone's file is totally clear yet.

[stlnative]

may be facing federal charges on?

[Sherlock]

It looks like they have not hushed him up too much ;-)

Uncle Tom's trying to rehabilitate his image. He should probably hire a professional PR type.
