Ricci, a handyman who also used the aliases of Albert Richard Ricci and Rick Ricci, had performed many jobs at the Smarts' home and, according to police and people who know the Smarts, knew the layout of the house very well. That, and the fact that Ricci's white Jeep Cherokee was found to have many extra unexplained miles on its odometer when it was taken to a repair shop on June 8, made Ricci a prime suspect. June 8 is the 159th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (160th in leap years), with 206 days remaining. ...

Ricci, described by many that knew him as a "ladies' man", was booked for an unrelated parole violation a few days after the disappearance. He suffered a brain hemorrhage while in jail and died in a Utah hospital.
