You have put both camps neatly in their places; Westerfield supporters GOOD; Van Dam supporters BAD. But you seem to have left me out even tho the post was directed to me.

I have gone out of my way to say that I find the Van Dam's & Westerfield both guilty. The Van Dams are evil disgusting people & their lifestyle led to their daughters death IMHO. Westerfield had Danielle's DNA on his jacket & her hairs in his MH. Why did the man down the street have her DNA & hairs if he wasn't involved in her death? It doesn't help that W tried to get into the swinging group & was rejected, he hung out at Dad's, he collected porn, even kiddie porn. If I am murderd & my neighbor has my DNA on his clothes & my hairs in his drain I hope they hang the SOB because he did it.

How do you know he didn't?

What part of the testimony was that from?

The real point is ...

HOW DID THE SPOT OF BLOOD GET ONTO THE FLOOR AFTER HE STEAM-CLEANED THE MH WITH BLEACH?!?!?!

LE plant -- plain and simple. Just like they planted his fingerprint in her bedroom!

The point is not whether you think Westerfield is guilty or innocent, but how you respond to people with opposing opinions.

The post was directed to you because I thought you were one of the people that mentioned the book by Scott Peck. If you are not then please forgive my indiscretion.

As far as the one hair that was found in Westerfield's motor home, the so called dna evidence, (not enough markers for conclusive proof) and the fingerprint, there are several explanations in my mind. Keep in mind that her dogs hair was supposed to be in this motor home also, even though the dog was not taken.

If the motor home was unlocked, Danielle could have went into it to play, or to hide from someone that was abusing her or the dog. The last entry in her diary said: "I am dreaming of a safe place"

The evidence could have been planted.

Westerfield could have had a sexual experience with Brenda Van Dam in the motor home.

I don't recall any evidence that W tried to get into the swinging group and was rejected, only BVD's word that W asked her to introduce/fix him up with her friend.

The expert that testified about what was on the computer admited that a lot of these sites and downloads were done when W was known NOT to be in the house, he was already under surveilance at the time. READ THE TRANSCRIPTS.

If hanging out at Dad's is evidence of murder, there are still a lot of people yet to prosecute and "hang".
