Here’s a strange quote by Wanda Barzee’s son Derrick Thompson, buried in an article profiling the couple who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart.
Mark’s brother, Derrick Thompson, suggested that the couple had started taking LSD about 10 years ago. “They said they weren’t on drugs, but we think that was a lie,” he told a television reporter. “We think that’s how he could communicate with God. That and listen to the Steve Miller Band.”
So, is Derrick saying that listening to Steve Miller lets you communicate with God, or that dropping acid is the only way to tolerate listening to Steve Miller?
I’m pretty sure either will get the job done!
Ambiguity is delightful.
The abductor’s kids have giving incredibly daming interviews. Sometimes I wonder if it’s just dysfunctional family politics, played out in the press.
Someone else has the same theory — but about Elizabeth Smart’s family.
Nothing at all can make Steve Miller tolerable. But that does explain a lot about the kidnapping.
Oh, no way. SMB is the best!
I would go with the 2nd one! Steve Miller..geesh!
I don’t think he really believed that the kidnapper “communicated with God”. I think he means to say that the kidnapper’s visions were actually drug induced hallucinations.
I’m so happy she was found
