"I can just tell that he (Mitchell) did an absolute brainwashing job on her," Smart told ABC's "Good Morning America."

Here goes the semantic scrambling. We may very well find out that this language is being used by the father because he can't come to grips with the fact that the girl left voluntarily.

This may turn into a fascinating criminal case.

Why would a 14 year old girl leave voluntarily in the middle of the night with a drifter who had worked 1 day for her family over a year ago?

I have the same thoughts about this case. Someting smells very fishy and it will be interesting if we ever get to the bottom of this.

I too suspect that she left voluntarily. I do not believe she stayed with him voluntarily, however. This is not unheard of for teenagers.

That's really stretching ... all evidence, including interviews with his stepchildren, points to him being a total whackjob, who was into guns and capable of holding one on Elizabeth, and being a master manipulator.

That little girl can actually make a lot of money from this if her parents want to let her. A book, a movie, and it would probably all be extremely interesting.

I don't know if she did, but what I do know is that there is a lot more to this story. Something is not right and there is a lot that does not make sense.

No 14 year old in the world, no matter how bored she was or no matter how sick she was of her parents would willingly go off to be a plural wife of somebody who looks like this Emmanuel dude.

.....the girl left voluntarily....

You appear to be correct. The fact seems to be that she for reasons not currently known, ran away.
