[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read on a reddit thread that her dad, who has now come out publicly as being gay, apparently had a reputation in Salt Lake for picking up men to work on his house to try to have sex with them... and that is why the dad blamed himself over this. The poster said it was a "known secret" in the area or something. Is there any truth to this?[/quote]

Interesting.  I was wondering where her mother was during the interviews.[/quote]

My understanding from years ago and reiterated in the recent documentary was that it was Elizabeth Smart's MOTHER (not father) who hired Mitchell to come do some work at the house. That it was she that made the arrangement of course never imagining what could transpire. That is said clearly in the documentary.

My thoughts are that to this day, Elizabeth's mother Lois still grapples with the guilt of being the one who brought this entire situation upon her daughter and family and that to speak still about it is just too painful for her. I mean, can you imagine the guilt of bringing a person into your family's life that is so devastating to your daughter and entire family? I would not be able to let go of that guilt ever. [/quote]
