We hear you Capps..

Do you know one of my favorite poems is called "IF" by Rudyard Kipling. One of the lines that applies to what you wrote comes to mind, it is...

"If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken...Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools"..

This is what has happened to your comments...sw

Think dogs. Think dogs not hitting on RV. Think 180Frank dragging his dog to the storage area. I really didn't think Febreze was that good. Maybe he used OxyClean too, it doesn't bleach the fabric. /so

Hi bluebird..I don't think I've used that term before..but I will say that what 'creeps me out' are the

child porn rape scene videos,
the child porn in general,
The scratches on his arms and legs that FOR SOME reason judge mudd did not allow or the prosecution chose to not bring up during the trial
the strange behaviour at the dry cleaners,
the evidence in the MH...,
his mom's description of him,
his girlfriends comments about his drinking problem and why she left him,

his girlfriends comments about why the curtains were normally drawn in MH while camping..(cold weather)..the other campers said it wasn't cold..

the testimony about time of death/mummylologist and the bugologists....

There are a combinations of other things. For example, if would be easier to believe the theory that danielle played in the mh if there were other kids that did it too and confessed to it....

The defense has not denied the evidence... they are trying to throw doubt wrt:the time of death. What keeps me from saying he's guilty.. Feldman's comments
http://www.uniontrib.com/news/metro/danielle/20020506-9999_1m6westerfieldpapers.html

The sealed motions discuss other potential evidence in the case, including evidence that Westerfield's lawyers label in court documents as "nearly as explosive as a confession." The lawyers didn't specify the nature of this evidence. Westerfield's lawyers want to keep these sealed motions secret from the public through Westerfield's trial and until all his post-trial appeals are exhausted if he's convicted, according to documents made public today

And then as you well know, somethings that are said loud and strong and often tend to be believed, whether they are true or not. I would like to believe that we are finally above and beyond petty "squabblings".

For VRWC_minion and Jeff Dusek:

Well, East coast flies are hip,
They dig for all those things they eat,
And the Southern flies, with the way they buzz,
Well they just sound really neat.
The Midwest farmers' flies
Can give you such an awful fright,
And the Northern flies, with the eggs they lay,
Can keep you up both day and night.

I wish they all could be California
(Wish they all could be California)
I wish they all could be California flies....

Jaded...it is hard to enjoy dark humor or light humor based on the violent death of a child. I understand the need for humor (stress relief etc) but it would have been nice separate it from the defendant.

I think it's the reporting of it. Many were outraged at the huge differences in SD about the way Danielle was handled and the way Jahi Turner was handled. Even the difference in the 2 girls in Oregon vs Elizabeth Smart.

Locally there is rumbling about the attention given to the sweet little blonde girls, while Laura Ayala's abduction on 3/10 generated no national media attention. It is belived that Laura was transported to Reynosa Mexico with in days of her abduction. National media attention might have prevented that.

Stations also figured out that it pumps their ratings. Sorry, I know that sounds cold, but look at Nancy Grace.

pics of scratches

Remember the sheriff involved in the samantha case said the suspect may have scratches and/or bruises on his arms?

Well, would the sheriff have said the same thing about danielle's captor if he had been in charge of the vd case? me thinks so.

I imagine they found actual evidence (pieces of flesh) under Samantha's fingernails, Kim, which would lead to that statement. All they found under Danielle's nails were fuzzy red fibers and blue paint. "Be on the lookout for someone suspicious in a fuzzy red sweater."

I suspect there's more publicity now than before. Maybe some parents know what is needed to get it?? Some people complain that there is not enough publicity for the majority of cases, like that family in texas....(can't remember the name)..who could not get publicity past the local area.

SINATRA DOUBLE PLAY....

I've Got You Under My Skin-Frank Sinatra

I don't think, Swingings a Sin-FDA

I don't think, Swingings a sin...
I've got no morals, so please give your parts to me...
So enter my garage...you won't need a key...
I don't think, Swingings a sin...

I've tried so, not to feel shame
Said to myself, to swing has no consequence
But why should I try to defend, when media surrounds my place
I don't think, Swingings a sin...

I'd sacrifice all to get that I desire...
For the sake of sharing these dears....
In spite of a warning from God, (It's Not Right!)
And repeats, it repeats in my ear

Don't you know that us swingers will always have friends...
Use your humanity, wake up with strange pals you meet...
But each time I do, just the thought that you
Might not want to swing hard again....
So please don't think, Swingings a sin...


That Lady is a Tramp-Frank Sinatra

These Ladies are Tramps-FDA

She gets too hungry, for Pizza at eight
She loves Dad's Cafe, and comes home real late
She's their to gather, new people to date
That's why these ladies are tramps

Doesn't like meeting, with high moraled girls
Won't go to Poway, in blue jeans and pearls
Won't share the stash, unless swinging is cool...
That's why these ladies are tramps

She loves the free lifestyle with swingers many
Life without remorse
She's old, but it's o'k
They love California, it's cool and it's hip
That's why these ladies are tramps

Doesn't like orgies, with bogarts and frauds
Won't go to Poway, in Blue Vans or Cars
Won't stop to flirt, with the classier broads
That's why these ladies are tramps

That's true shezza..but isn't it possible that the hands were cleaned after the scratches? I know this is speculation..but the fibers and paint could have happened after they were cleaned.

It'd be kinda hard to separate it from the defendant since it's about the defendant. Go read the new addition... Editor's Note. Ninja Dave

It's really no more slanted than some of the other sites out there. It just slants the other way. It is your right to join the ranks of grandma and feel offended by it.

There are any number of absurd things in this case. I believe that you yourself contributed to "Notes to Self" and possibly "Enquiring Minds".

Please note that I checked before I went ahead with my plans. There are many close to the defendant that have seen my site. Had they been offended it would have come down. IMO, they were the ones who counted because it was personal to them. I never intended to do a martyr site and I won't back down now.

You'd be surprised at the positive feedback I've gotten about the site. People who have these same questions. They far out number the people like yourself and grandma who object to it.

Excellence in posting - "Thanks, Mom!" BTW were you the one, lo those many painful threads ago, that posted the story about the missing chickens, the visit to the fox lair, and the "Nudie Chicken Porn"? Hilarious and trenchant stuff. FRegards

I hope and pray they at least now run that hair thru the offender database and compare it to Avila and the pervs they arrested on 1/27 and 2/15...and compare the fibers found on her to Avila and the unidentified prints in the VD house and the unidentified DNA on her multi colored blanket.

Along with the rest of the 15-20 sexual offenders in the area you mean? I wonder why they would not have done this from the start. Come to think of it it probably was because it looked to be such an inside job that they weren't considering the fact that a stranger could have taken her.
