Ed Smart was on TV for the first few days after Elizabeth was found, but he sure hasn't been around since that first week. I think the Iraq war starting had a lot to do with booting the Smart story off the front page. Last I heard of him, he had written a letter to the Congress about the Amber Alert bill, the family has really dropped out of sight. And I know that my view is not the popular one here by any means, but Ed Smart being able to stay in the public eye, making friends with John Walsh, helped get the sketch of Mitchell on America's Most Wanted. Mitchell's family members recognized the name (not the sketch so much), sent in recent photos of Mitchell, and that is how Elizabeth was found.

I agree, it looks like America's Most Wanted "cracked" the case by getting Mitchell's face and name before the public.
