The police say that the screen was cut from the inside, and I believe that.

I agree that the Smarts had nothing to do with "it," it being an abduction. I have never thought that the Smart family had any guilty responsibilty for Elizabeth's disappearance. I do think that they were part of a family situation involving teenagers which many very nice families including my own have experienced. No "blame," just one of those things that got way out hand when (I believe) Elizabeth took it upon herself to take a hike.

No, from the outside. They now know that to be true.
