Many here even question the parents based simply on their lifestyle.

That's why.

You have to remember that there are many on FR who think the Smart family is guilty, too, only because it was THEIR CHILD that has gone missing. There is a tendency on FR to ignore the simple in favor of the convoluted.

I LOVE THIS RENDITION OF THE CHORUS.....

And we're really running out of time,
The bugs are what it's all about...
If I have to give SWINGING up.... then I'll pout....

I suggest you ask before you make comments like that. I happen to believe the Smart family didn't have anything to do with their daughter's disappearance, and I am willing to bet that MANY of the people who agree that Westerfield is not guilty agree with me.

You choose to ignore neglectful parents, who bring strangers into their home, that's fine. I choose not to make judgements based on emotion.

If you think there is something simple about any of this case, you are different indeed.

Furthermore.......ignoring the simple in this case and opting for the convoluted appears to be precisely what LE did.

Let's see. We have a house full of pot-smoking, bar-hopping, swinging perverts practicing their craft in the same home where children are present versus a man who apparently first drew suspicion because of the mere fact he had been gone from the neighborhood at a specific time.

Yep.......makes sense to me. That's a great example of going for the simple and ignoring the convoluted, huh?

Are you implying you speak for everyone ? You don't.

What you said is not borne out by fact. Most on here have no opinion, if anything about the Smart case.

I think she ran off with a new boyfriend. I think there could me multiple scenarios, but in none of them, are the parents the culprits.

Have you conducted a survey, on these threads or the Smart threads? Have you been on the Smart threads?

Since you claim to be psychic and know what all of 'us' are thinking, tell me what I am thinking right now!

I have not followed the Smart thead...but there is in my mind NO comparison.....The Smart had had their evening prayer the night their daughter was taken...the VD had their dope and "pizza Party".......

No similarities IMHO
