He WAS a stranger to the Patz family (maybe not to Etan unfortunately). Unfortunately it was another day labor case in a way. They hired a woman to walk their son to school during a strike. During a credit check for people they tend not to ask who your friends are.<br /><br />The Patz's had no way to know about Ramos. Who would question a school walker about their social life?<br /><br />And btw, it wasnt Immanuel's family who turned him in. It was someone who recognized him on the streets and Elizabeth from the publicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-16020817478057302522009-12-19T18:43:48.325-05:002009-12-19T18:43:48.325-05:00Well, I know there was a great deal of publicity i...Well, I know there was a great deal of publicity involving Elizabeth Smart but it didn't seem to be of much use in the crowded parks of San Diego and wasn't much use in the suburbs of Salt Lake City either. The case was broken when the sister who had been kept isolated from impressionable questioning by police said she thought the kidnapper's name was Immanuel, a former day laborer at the home.<br />When that publicity broke it reached his relatives who had no difficulty in choosing between Immanuel and the reward money.FleaStiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837830811566745662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-40974031009208231312009-12-19T07:47:10.462-05:002009-12-19T07:47:10.462-05:00And as it turned out, Elizabeth Smart's captor...And as it turned out, Elizabeth Smart's captor was not unknown to the family. <br /> But to be sure, the publicity generated in her case was a big factor in getting her back home.cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717256091553930518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-11909297468334838272009-12-18T10:23:05.374-05:002009-12-18T10:23:05.374-05:00Opinions are like A**holes Fleastiff.

The Patz's did wonders for missing and exploited children everywhere.<br /><br />And everyone (well except you apparently) knows that publicity and lots of it is the best way to get your abducted child back if they are still alive.<br /><br />Dont believe me?

Oh sure the possibility of a quick stranger-abduction without arousing any attention of passersby was a real but it was just a bit too unlikely. The cops should have focused on the quiet aspects of the incident right from the start and realized that silence implied at least a passing familiarity with the kidnapper.<br />Its possible the family's hyped up publicity about unsafe streets hurt the case.FleaStiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837830811566745662noreply@blogger.com
