I was absolutely shocked that you had to have a vehicle involved to be eligible for an Amber alert. Evelyn is lovely. I hope they find her. Have you e-mailed this to Nancy Grace's show? I bet she would put it on. ETA: Never mind. I e-mailed myself. Hopefully, there is a chance it could help...

I think Elizabeth Smart was deprogrammed awfully quickly for someone who had Stockholm Syndrome. It is my understanding that people who have truly suffered from this have taken months of therapy to recover. If I recall correctly, Elizabeth, according to her father, was back to her old self...

There will be a show about this on Court TV tonight. It is called Under Investigation and it will air at 9pm CT/ 10pm ET.

With all the mentions of Drake representing a new start, I was reminded of something. My memory is fuzzy on this, but didn't someone testify that a few days or weeks before the murders, she found baby Drake crying becuse Darlie had him wrapped head to toe in blankets.He was supposedly...

Normally I would understand a father not wanting his daughter to relive her kidnapping experience in court. However, since Mr. Ed didn't mind broadcasting her ordeal in a TV movie (in which Elizabeth herself is rumored to have been disappointed that she wasn't asked to play herself) and a...

I think you've come close to hitting the nail on the head regarding motive, Goody. I've always thought that the most likely motive for Darlie was attention. Bravo! There are many types of attention she could have gotten from this. Perhaps Darlie (and maybe Darin) thought that the previously...

Thanks for the link. I read on another board that the defense for Brian David Mitchell has subpoenaed Elizabeth's school records and medical records. It is apparent that they are trying to prepare a "Liz ran away" defense. Ed Smart and the DA are on their hind legs trying to prevent this, but...

ITA with you lisa and candlelight. Just word to everything you said. Everyone I know thinks so, too. The Smarts are sure a fishy bunch. My newsfriends and I predicted from the arrest that this is exactly what would happen: The Smarts will let things settle down, then arrange for nutty...

IIRC, the limb hair on the sock belonged to Darin. I think I read that in one of the latest motions on the Darlie website, but I'm not sure. Also, I vaguely remember the people who cracked the DNA code somewhere saying that they were horrified that it was being used in law enforcement. IIRC...

I started looking at this case disregarding both Darlie and Darin's statements, which I do not believe to be reliable, and I began looking at the crime scene as the first outsiders on the scene did. I feel that the reliable information begins where the outsiders arrived to give their accounts. I...

I think Darlie and Darin had a type of codependent, toxic relationship, similar to alcoholic-enabler relationships. I'm no psychologist, though, so take that for what it's worth. I do think it's possible that they both planned and/or participated in the crime, and I wonder if the baby was an...

I think what you're referring to is that apparently, some of the first words Darin said to the cops were "Did you see my wife's big breasts?" or something like that. I think Darin and Darlie had a kind of toxic, codependent relationship, similar to that of alcoholic-enabler. That helps...

I just thought of something. Maybe Darin is not involved in the killing of the boys, but he knows Darlie did it and helped cover it up. Perhaps the reason that he helped cover for her and supports her is because Darlie has knowledge of other (unrelated or not), criminal activities Darin has...

I've read a couple of books about this case, but I never paid much attention to this one because I'm a "Darlie Did It" kind of girl. Now I'm curious. What in this book caused people to turn to the prosecutor's side? If there's too much to post, could you just point me in the right direction...

I agree that the fact that the boys killer is being punished is justice. The thing is, there are so many pro-Darlie websites, TV specials, etc. out in the media. I have seen lots of people over the years on TV speaking on behalf of Darlie and working for a new trial for her. In my...
