I have always felt that Lou Smit was smarter than many have portrayed him to be and today I found an article which I'd never read before which confirms what I have felt about him:-
I have never thought that the relationship he built with the Ramseys was unprofessional because I always thought he might be using a softlee, softlee approach. HOWEVER...... I am not impressed with his leaks to a certain Internet junkie who sells to tabloid newspapers and THAT more than anything else makes question his professionalism.
Link is herePolice hostility to suspects is a mistake, [Lou Smit] said.
Instead, Smit said, you want to learn as much as you can about potential suspects. He is so good at building rapport, some of the criminals he's put away write him letters from prison. Smit shared beers in Hong Kong with a murder suspect and took another out to dinner before the man agreed to show him where he had killed a woman.
"I'll hug them, I'll kiss them, whatever it takes," Smit said.
