I saw a very short press conference this afternoon, and one of Ed's sisters was giving the information out on the van. Why aren't the police doing this?I saw the aunt telling the family of the beautiful little girl who was abducted today to contact Them for any kind of help??

Most definitely..If a 5yr girl CAN give a description of the perp, a 9yr old certainly can..Wonder what's going on here & who's calling the shots. Give it a rest, Bella! IF it wasn't dark, and IF he wasn't wearing a mask and IF she got a good look at the perp, we would have a sketch.

Give it a rest, Bella! IF it wasn't dark, and IF he wasn't wearing a mask and IF she got a good look at the perp, we would have a sketch.There's too many IF's..Granted it was dark, but, she did see hair on his hands, and was able to tell what he was wearing, even the type of HAT. Plus, they refused a sketch artist, but said the authorities had a good sketch artist...well, where's the sketch? Did she, or didn't she? Where's the results?

IIRC the Stanton, Cal. 5 yr old, was seen being abducted not only by her 5-yr old playmate, but by a number of neighbors and bystanders.
If Elizabeth had resisted in the same way little Samantha did, she would probably be alive today.

With all due respect, Jolly, Palladin started this thread and specifically stated that all points of view are welcome here. If you don't like a poster's point of view, or their message, don't reply. Nobody is starting, or wants a battle here. (I know what's coming next.) Bella is entitled to whatever she voices, as are you.

Yeah, how dare the Smart family offer their condolences and help. Who do they think they are?

Yeah, how dare the Smart family offer their condolences and help. Who do they think they are?I feel they were genuine w/ their condolences, but, how can they help when they haven't found their own, and both abductions were different w/ the exception of a missing child.

spore-gasm posted a news report from June 5 on yesterday's thread (#89) wherein it was reported that
"Her sister said that she saw the suspect very clearly, which leads police to believe that it was not a family friend." SLC police spokesman, Duane Baird was cited as a source for the article.
While I do understand that mistakes can be made, especially in early reporting, this statement is very clear and emphatic. Unfortunately, it's statements like this that cause questions to linger regarding the lack of a sketch/description of the alleged abductor.

I should have changed the TO: to all. Because I am tired of many posters taking cheap shots at the Smart family. The Smart family has every right to offer their condolences, and help, if they can.

Oh, really? Well, maybe you all should go back to the other board where everyone thinks alike. How boring.

Thank you for keeping the thread here but do you have to keep the c-free digs going though? You said all opinions are welcome here. I hope you meant this because in my opinion the posts were getting very ugly last night. Anyway, no news about the van, huh? Can't believe they couldn't find it.

The Smart family has every right to offer their condolences, and help, if they can.No one's taking "cheap shots" at the Smart family as you and your friends think..Perhaps if you and the community, church, and whatever else is available there, would ASK the same questions and put pressure on this case which has been been extremely unusual from day one, that we are instead of going through the dramatics, there would be answers..I don't care who's involved, Joe Schmo, Santa Claus, aliens, family, neighbor, and whoever else, ASK the questions! The longer this continues, the longer everyone suffers.

Why aren't the police doing this?I've noticed the police don't seem very involved at all at this point and haven't been for a while. Still think they are watching and waiting for someone to show his hand. And I'll bet it's someone not now on the published suspect list.
