That letter sounds so much like a made up deal to me. Why would Ed not report it to the police first instead of the media?

That's exactly what many people are saying. Check out all the other boards about this.

Hey Bella.... new day, new speculation. What's your take at this point in time?

What other boards Bella...? Do you have links as I would like to read the other boards also. Thanks!

What do you mean by "made up deal"?

That the letter was mailed to the Smart family but it is a hoax letter? or that the Smart family made up that this letter really exists?

I think the letter exists but that it was mailed by someone that has no real connection to the kidnapping or kidnapper, but then I thought what if it was Ricci's wife that sent it in... just to test the water (that is if she has some part in it with her husband)

Perhaps the letter is a feint to draw attention away from the family.
