Elizabeth Smart, who was abducted from her bedroom nine months ago, was found alive today in a Salt Lake City suburb. She has been reunited with her family.
Huzzah!
-----ooo-'U'-ooo-----Kilroy was here.
Did they catch the person who took her?
Yup. He was waiting with her and his wife at a bus stop. Police have said nothing, but I can't figure out any story that doesn't involve will-breaking brain-washing.
If anyone wants to follow the story, I'm sure it will be decorating the front page of the Salt Lake Tribune (http://www.sltrib.com) for weeks to come as the case is unravelled.
Too bad Jeffrey Dahmer is dead. Otherwise, they could have turned him loose on the scumbag who kidnapped the girl.
They're gonna throw the book at this SOB and it's gonna hit 'em hard!!! If I was her dad I'd be lookin to have him locked in a room with me for awhile.
Odds are that he'll be declared mentally incompetent; he's been homeless for years, and has travelled the country declaring his messiahship or something (everyone who's come in contact with him has used the word "incoherent" to describe his beliefs and his general demeanor).
At least her experiences don't appear to line up with my own worst imaginings, i.e., being chained in a basement in some sort of child sex shop...
