LHP wasnt fired. She was there on the 23rd, and was supposed to return on the 26th
She worked on Mon/Wed/Fri, so her next day would have been Dec 27.

My bad, she was to return on the 27thShe worked on Mon/Wed/Fri, so her next day would have been Dec 27.
I could have sworn i read something somewhere that lhp was fired/let go.
Ughhh where did i see that?!?!
Back to the 911 call.
Ive heard three versions.
1.The normal 911 recording.
2.The enhanced recording.
3.And the enhanced Geraldo version.
I'm not sure that the actual enhanced version has ever been released? I believe that there have been amateurs that have released enhanced versions but I've not seen one that has been attributed to LE.
Maybe there is a DVD of that Geraldo show. Presumably, it would be the real thing.
I just cant get over the patsy patsy patsy. She doesnt thank the dispatcher or nothing.
Ive only had to call 911 once in my entire life.
My boyfriend and i were alone and he had a seizure. Once she walked me thru getting him in a stable position (rolled on his belly and other instructions) i stayed on the phone with her until the ambulance arrived, about ten min. And then i thanked her perfusely and told her they arrived. I didnt hang up, she was my lifeline. I feel like my reaction was more natural than hers. I wonder how many times patsy's called 911 in her entire life.
Staying on trephine is what normal, innocent people do. As you say, it gives someone in distress some comfort, but I guess when you are lying through your teeth its probably a lot less therapeutic.
Your child was not missing from her bed. These two events are incomparable.I just cant get over the patsy patsy patsy. She doesnt thank the dispatcher or nothing.

PR saying burke didnt like or eat pineapple is just distancing in my opinion. (Crap! We wiped the flashlight but forgot or didnt notice the snack on the counter)
The pineapple bothers me sometimes tho. Like if pr and burkes prints were on the bowl, that looks like patsy prepared it and placed it in the fridge, burke took it out to eat..... but where are the housekeepers prints? From what ive read, patsy didnt do housework so would LHP's prints be on the dish bc she washed it andor placed the clean dish in the cabinet?
Smit was an idiot. His reason do not suspecting the parents was that the crime was too brutal. Really? She was hit over the head! Everything else was staging meant to throw simpletons like him of their trail. I'll never reconcile the fact that he knelt down and prayed with the prime suspects in this case. Terrible cop IMO.
I'd have saved myself a lot of pages if I'd had your quote available, andreww.
"I've never lost a homicide case," Smit said.
Though the retired Colorado Springs homicide detective put more than 200 killers behind bars in a career spanning more than 30 years, many people will remember him for the few suspects, including the Ramseys, that he helped keep out of prison.
He also cleared Mike Church in 1995 of suspicion in the murder of his 13-year-old daughter, Heather Dawn Church, and then led an investigation in which serial killer Robert Charles Browne was later convicted.
Friends and family said he was too honest to put someone away just to further his own career.
It was one of the hallmarks of a detective who routinely prayed with suspects before interviewing them and visited the grave sites of victims when the killers were later convicted.
...
Prayers were part of his investigative routine.
"The very first thing I would ever do is stop about a quarter- block away and say a prayer," he said. "God answered my prayers."
Of the 200-plus cases Smit investigated and turned over to prosecutors for formal charges, all of them led to convictions, he said.
"I've never lost a homicide case," Smit said.
Smit acknowledged that he has been criticized for praying with murder suspects, but he said the prayers helped him establish a rapport with them.
"I didn't use it as a tool to be disingenuous, but at a time when they were under extreme pressure," he said.
Marra recalled that her father used the same technique on her whenever she did something wrong, and she always believed Smit already knew what she had done.
"You didn't tell him because you were afraid of the consequences," she said. "You told him because you didn't want to disappoint him for holding out on him."
He had the same effect on criminals, said his partner from the 1970s, Earl Aldrich, 71.
Aldrich recalled being in a 7-Eleven parking lot. When he pointed out two suspicious guys throwing stuff into a trash bin, Smit recognized one of the men and they walked over. Before long, the crook, who recognized Smit, confessed to robbing a Florence convenience store.
"I think they just like him," Aldrich said of criminals. "Lou had a knack for talking to these guys. They wanted to clear their conscience. They'd tell him exactly what happened."
