Amen! It is a sad commentary on our country that so many need to conjure up vile speculation. Does anyone honestly think a girl like that would willingly go with a freak? He was at the house all of FIVE HOURS -- and in that time these vile rumor mongers conclude that she fell for the guy? And it isn't enough that they have to smear Elizabeth. They have to malign the father to ascribe a motive --- not to mention maligning the little sister.
You said it perfectly.
