Tom Smart's statement on Larry King Live:

"I believe that this person is not a bad person at all. And our family has felt strongly for a while. And there's been a comfort here for a while. This is just somebody who actually likes Elizabeth. We don't know -- we have issues. We've been ripped apart by our polygraph. I don't know who has done what with my brothers.

We all have issues. Anybody's taken -- we've been ripped apart to the core. And we understand that everybody has issues. And we pray hard that whoever this is will know that the family is full of compassion towards everybody because this is a wonderful story, in a lot of ways. Because it's about, foremost, a beautiful, little angelic girl. But it's also about -- everybody has issues no matter what. It crosses the boundaries on everything. It's an amazing story."

So you take this to mean...what?

Bingo.

And there was also the Smart parents speaking on Fox last year when the father clearly said that his younger daughter recognized the voice and knew who it was and could I.D. him because he was someone of stature in the community.

That faux pas on Dad's part has been long ignored.

""I believe that this person is not a bad person at all. "

If you thought your child was still alive, (assuming that the sick pedophile kidnapper cared about her, because he let her go back for her shoes--I suppose the profilers told the parents/family to not intimiate or infuriate the kidnappers cuz they could hurt the daughter...)...I'd venture to guess you'd say ANYTHING.
