1. I think he made a quick in & out snatch, after the Van Dam's were asleep for the night.

and left absolutely no trace evidence, circumstantial or otherwise

2. I think he suffocated Danielle with a pillow.

where is the pillow? the pillow would have evidence of such a means of death all over it. Also, where are the telltale signs of suffocation?

3. I think he killed her, after he got unstuck from the sand. (I believe the tow guy who thought he heard a voice inside the rv.)

proceed to #4...

4. I think Danielle died in the rv, but she may have been near death when she was taken there.

yet the cadaver dog failed to "hit" in the MH and absolutely no evidence of a murder scene

5. I think he dumped the body on the last leg of his week-end roadtrip.

and his bloated self carried her dead body up a very steep incline with no witnesses...

6. I think there's no evidence of him in the VD house, because it was a quick entry/exit, and because he's too smart to have left fingerprints

but too stupid to get the dna off of his coat and out of his MH....OH PUHLEEEEEEZE!!!

7. I think there's no more evidence of Danielle being in the rv because Westerfield got rid of it, along with the body on his way back home. And everything else, he laundered.

and cleaned and bleached everything soooo well that there was a layer of dust on everything in the motorhome and all no bleach marks on anything!

(Your recap of my earlier answers, and my responses are in bold. Your comments to my earlier answers are in italics.)

1. I think he made a quick in & out snatch, after the Van Dam's were asleep for the night.

and left absolutely no trace evidence, circumstantial or otherwise
That's right.

2. I think he suffocated Danielle with a pillow.

where is the pillow? the pillow would have evidence of such a means of death all over it. Also, where are the telltale signs of suffocation?

The pillow, inside a garbage bag,along with other incriminating articles, could have been easily tossed into any roadside dumpster.
The following is a published quote:
"..In other developments, a forensic dentist testified that Danielle van Dam's missing teeth were not carried off by animals and probably weren't knocked loose by a sharp blow, bolstering the prosecution's claim that she had been forcefully suffocated. Dr. Norman "Skip" Sperber said the 7-year-old's four missing teeth could have been knocked loose by an impact with a "soft" object, but testified there were no signs they were hit by a hard, steel-like object or were carried off by predators."

As to your query why there were no tell tale signs of suffocation, I'm figuring if the body had mummified so badly that first reports identified it as charred or burned, soft tissue damage would have been hard to detect.

3. I think he killed her, after he got unstuck from the sand. (I believe the tow guy who thought he heard a voice inside the rv.)
proceed to #4...
4. I think Danielle died in the rv, but she may have been near death when she was taken there.

That's right, the strong smell of bleach prevented accurate hits by the dog(s).

5. I think he dumped the body on the last leg of his week-end roadtrip.

and his bloated self carried her dead body up a very steep incline with no witnesses...
That's right.
The following is a published quote:
"..Danielle's body was found Wednesday in a remote spot 25 miles east of San Diego. It was discovered about 25 to 30 feet from a two-lane road near a lake by a search group that has been working with the family since Danielle disappeared from her suburban San Diego home."
http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/02/28/missing.girl/?related

If searchers could find it,(only 30 feet), someone could place it there.

6. I think there's no evidence of him in the VD house, because it was a quick entry/exit, and because he's too smart to have left fingerprints

but too stupid to get the dna off of his coat and out of his MH....OH PUHLEEEEEEZE!!!

We don't know what he wore when he snatched her, and those clothes went the way of the pillow. I think he would havehe had her wrapped and covered [probably with sheets and/or tarp], as he transported her from vehicle to vehicle, to final dumping site. The same he laid her out on when she was on his bed and in the motor home.

7. I think there's no more evidence of Danielle being in the rv because Westerfield got rid of it, along with the body on his way back home. And everything else, he laundered.

and cleaned and bleached everything soooo well that there was a layer of dust on everything in the motorhome and all no bleach marks on anything!

I found several references to the strong smell of bleach,I heard for myself how immaculately clean the rv was, but couldn't find a reference that mentioned "a layer of dust". Of course with those winds blowing, windows open, and all that driving, I think it easily explained.
