She wrote in her blog that she, her family and their friends hope the police have the wrong man, "but afraid that they do not." She told the AP there were just too many things in the police report that point back to her ex-husband, including the police sketch of the suspect, a photo of the vehicle, and a description of eyeglasses. Then there was the detail that the suspect's car had bottled water strapped to his roof. "He's the only person in the universe who drives around with a 24-pack of bottled water" strapped to the car, she said. Kovnesky has filed a restraining order against Speer in the event he is released, and she has asked for sole custody of their children. "At this point, I think he would have such a destroyed reputation and be angry enough that I want my children to be protected," she said. Speer made a brief appearance in court on Monday and said he would not fight extradition to Wyoming. He has not entered a plea. It is unclear if Speer has a lawyer representing him in the Wyoming charges. Eric Brewer, the Montana public defender representing him in the extradition matter, did not return an after-hours call Tuesday to his office. Park County Attorney Bryan Skoric, the prosecutor in Cody, said a court hearing has not yet been set in Wyoming. Transportation issues were being worked out between law enforcement authorities in Wyoming and Montana. Officials in Colorado were investigating whether Speer may have been involved in any unsolved or attempted abductions in that state. The victim told police she saw stacked photographs of naked young girls in the vehicle driven by her abductor, according to the charging documents.
