(AP) Elizabeth Smart's family has hired a Los Angeles entertainment attorney to help them screen movie and book proposals about Elizabeth's abduction and remarkable return.
Kelly Crabb, who reportedly has negotiated contracts for Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews and Muhammad Ali, was hired a week ago, said Chris Thomas, the family's spokesman.
According to his firm's Web site, Crabb's areas of practice include motion picture, television and other programming production and financing; composer agreements, personal appearances and motion picture distribution.
"These kind of contracts are very specialized," Thomas said.
Crabb received bachelor's and master's degrees from Brigham Young University before earning a law degree from Columbia University in 1984. He also worked for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Elizabeth, now 15, was abducted from her bedroom on the night of June 5. On March 12, she was found in a Salt Lake suburb with her alleged kidnappers.

This is a CONSERVATIVE site. We tend to favor facts over feelings.

I remember correctly, but why should you care?
And you may "note" whatever your heart desires.

Why not try facts? You have more to discuss when you discuss facts.

I won't say what I think about the theories thrown around about Elizabeth being sold for some pedophile purposes. I've been down that road before on other threads..and have come to decide there is absolutely no reason to even argue with anyone over it.

Oh, isn't "hardened heart" insulting me?
FWIW, you and your cabal have attacked my faith repeatedly, including posting threads specifically for that purpose, and "hijacking" threads we have established for the discussion of our beliefs.
You are a cad, and a very low character. Your disdain is a badge of honor.
I cannot imagine living my life for the soul purpose of disparaging another's religion, and then making that disparagement the center of my OWN beliefs.
It is bizarre, but I've come to understand that it is an urgent hobby for those like you and the rest of the "Dirty Dozen."

"...the LIE is that he was saying her being abducted was a "beautiful story."
Semantics? Puleeze....I don't think anyone meant to lie when they misquoted his words. I mean he said them back in June, 2002.
"you can make something evil of that if you wish, but most reasonable people will not."
Why did you feel the need to attack me with word's like "evil" when all I did was respond to your request to see the source of Tom's statement?
Illbay, your slip is showing and it's not attractive.

So it doesn't matter that you have absolutely NO basis for your opinion?
That would bother me, if I based such an important conclusion on nothing but my own prejudices.

Oh, I love this! You remind me of--what was that guy's name, Catspaw, RGSpincich, Poohbah? The guy who claimed he had the "secret transcripts" of the Christines' supposedly closed-door hearings in Oregon?
I love these megalomaniac personalities here on FR, those "in the secret know"!

That might have been him. Was he the one that said he had attended every hearing, etc., and "knew things that the authorities will never tell you," etc.?
These people are so entertaining!

"the profilers told the parents..."
From the beginning the Smart's seemed to be trying to follow a script made for them by LE. Some of the family were better than others at getting their part's right.
The one's that couldn't get the message across were dropped and finally we saw the the same few Smart family member's that could follow the script.
I don't think Tom was following his script and got himself off in wonderland somewhere. JMO.

Sorry, but you seem to have jumped on me earlier for scorning your "conspiracy theory" mentality, but you keep it up.
What else am I supposed to think?
