...making The Elizabeth Smart Story, on the other hand, CBS worked closely with the family of the Utah girl abducted for nine months, allegedly by a religious fanatic and drifter who calls himself Emmanuel. The movie follows Ed and Lois Smart as they butt heads with the police, who are portrayed as wrongheaded and arrogant. They cast suspicion on Ed, and slough off the parents' pleas to look for Emmanuel, the family's former handyman. Dylan Baker, who played a suburban dad pedophile in the darkly comic movie Happiness, is the ideal choice for Ed--he radiates piety or creepiness...

The films' plot variations on cupidity and stupidity were nearly as inspired as their titles. "Mudhoney"! (A familiarly lurid tale of the drifter, the town bully and the yearning babe, with a supporting role for Maitland.) "Motorpsycho"! (A low-budget "Wild One" - the motorcycle crazies ride mopeds - with many worthy extras: a nice debut turn by Alex Rocco as a man whose wife the gang raped; a cameo by Meyer as the sexist sheriff who snaps, as regards Rocco's wife, "Nothin' happened...
Avila is not a drifter. He lives in Lake Elsinore, only 60 miles away from the Runnion home, and has worked since September as an assembler at the Temecula, Calif., plant of Guidant Inc., a company based in Indianapolis, Ind., that manufactures pacemakers, defibrillators and other medical supplies. Disturbingly, he has a history of molestation charges: the daughter of his ex-girlfriend Beth Veglahn, along with another girl, accused him two years ago. The Veglahn girl lived with her father in the same condominium complex as Samantha, Veglahn's foster brother Lewis Davis told TIME. A jury acquitted Avila...
