where does this fit in with the VD's cleaning the house that next morning. Did they do this before the cops came?

They say they didn't clean, but their steam cleaner was wet and the vacuum cleaner was sitting out. The bag in the vacuum cleaner had been changed - Damon said he threw the old one out.

THERE'S NO WAY SOMEBODY WHO HAD NOT BEEN INSIDE THAT RESIDENCE, THIS IS WHAT THE POLICE -- THIS IS THE POLICE'S TESTIMONY. THE POLICE TOLD THE VAN DAMS OUR THEORY IS THE ABDUCTOR, IF SHE WAS ABDUCTED, WAS MOST CERTAINLY DONE BY SOMEBODY THAT WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE FAMILY, VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE HOUSE, WOULD HAVE DISARMED THE DOG BECAUSE THE DOG WOULD HAVE REACTED IN SOME MANNER. AND I KNOW MR. DUSEK SAID, AH, THIS IS JUST SOME YOUNG BABY PUPPY, BUT EVERY WITNESS WITH ONE OR TWO EXCEPTIONS TESTIFIED THIS DOG WAS JUMPING IN THEIR FACES, JUMPING UP AND DOWN. THERE'S NO WAY, THERE IS JUST NO WAY THE DOG WOULDN'T HAVE REACTED.

BUT ACCORDING TO THE PROSECUTION'S THEORY, IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT, STEALTH, WITHOUT LEAVING ANY PRINTS, WITHOUT LEAVING ANYTHING, HE I THINK HE SAID WALKED IN THE SIDE DOOR, OPENS THE DOOR TO THE GARAGE, 'CAUSE HE SAID DENISE KEMAL, RIGHT, DENISE KEMAL SAID THAT SHE CLOSED THE DOOR AND DIDN'T LOCK IT. BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHETHER SHE SAID SHE LOCKED THE DOOR. YOU DECIDE THAT. BUT ON THE PROSECUTION'S THEORY, MR. WESTERFIELD OPENED THE DOOR. GOLLY. PRINTS. BUT THE DEFENSE SAYS, AH, IF YOU TOUCH THERE, JEFF GRAHAM CAN'T GET IT. OH, REALLY? INTO THE HOUSE HE GOES.

NOW, DAMON IS EITHER THERE OR NOT. PRESUMABLY DAMON IS UPSTAIRS IN BED, AND THERE'S THREE CHILDREN WHO ARE UPSTAIRS IN BED. AND MR. WESTERFIELD WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE AT ALL IS MOVING UP THROUGH THE HOUSE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EXHIBIT BOARDS, YOU'LL SEE YOU WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR AND THEN THERE'S THIS BALCONY. THERE'S THIS STAIRCASE. REMEMBER THE STAIRCASE. YOU'VE GOT TO WALK UP THE STAIRCASE. THIS GUY DOESN'T KNOW, HE'S NEVER BEEN THERE. AND HE WALKS UP THE STAIRCASE. AND THEN HE LOOKS DOWN THE HALLWAY.

I think they had some old towels and a rug in the clothes washer too, didn't they?
