I think it would take longer, but I don't know how much longer. He still has to cover the ground from his house to their house and back. Plus, he's 50, not physically fit, he doesn't know the layout of the house, and she weighs close to 60 lbs. Also, I THINK he has to strip her. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong. All the talk with the PJs has me confused.
As an aside, I was looking at the floorplan someone posted of the BVDs house. Why exactly did they theorize that DAW was hiding in the closet? It seems to me that the bathroom across the hall was a much better hiding place.
If you were standing on Westerfield's front porch,would the vD house be to your right? If so,Westerfield would have to cross Briar Leaf,walk past the vacant house, walk in front of the vD house and around to the side,either enter thru the garage door or the gate to the back yard and break into the slider. The lights were all off in the vD house according to testimony. Westerfield had to avoid the dining table and chairs(in the dark),find the stairs,locate Danielle's room,abduct her and retrace his steps, carrying a child,depend on the child not screaming in terror and make his way back to his house without being seen.
Think about it.........How lucky can one drunk man be?
