Might be more than just a coincidence, or maybe it is.
How/WHY would the VD's decide to point to DW? To aim the LE's at DW?
Why were the LE's searching for ROPES/HANDCUFFS, etc?
Relate this all to the arrests of 2 other men in the SD/Poway area for running a CHILD PORN RING.
Relate Damon's trips to EUROPE to a connection to the CHILD PORN RING. Know what a MULE is ?
Could Damon have KNOWN that DW downloaded some PORN that contained CHILD PORN because Damon is part of the CHILD PORN RING ?
If he had connections to the ringleaders, he might have had access to the customer mailing list.
Do I think Damon killed Danielle ? Not sure, but not really.
I think maybe the CHILD PORN ring people got his daughter, probably from outside her grade school, and that was the coincidence. They didn't know it was his little girl they were taking.
Once he knew Danielle had been taken by them, maybe he felt it best to deflect any investigation into himself by deflecting the police to Westerfield.
The new next door moving in neighbors saw Danielle sometime Fri. evening, Cookie sale. At least this was in an article at North County Times 2/10/02.
