Do I personally think that? No. Do I think it's possible? Definitely. She was trying to pick up sex partners at Dad's.

My own thought is that Danielle was abducted by someone else, likely the same person who took Samantha Runnion. I think that Danielle was actually missing much earlier in the day than the parents are admitting - I think that's what they're lying about, not that they killed Danielle.

What I KNOW is that the state did not prove that DW killed Danielle. I would definitely hold out and hang this jury, if I were on it.

But the parent's passed a lie detector test.I do not understand how they passed and did the things they are accused of by some on this board,how do we explain this?

Why would they keep it a secret that she was missing but call 911 in the moring

This has probably already been discussed before, but...

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that DW is 49 y.o. and has only had one previous conviction for a DUI? Yet he is now accused of this crime?

Iirc from what I've read about pedophiles, that is something that is typcially established fairly early in life. At least it would be it it were this exteem and violent.

If DW is this kind of guy, there should be trails and indicators -- and I don't simply mean deleted pictures on his computer. Something more tangible than that. Getting conspicuously friendly with the local children, for instance -- which he apparently has no history of doing.

The alternative explanation that comes to mind, is that DW got into a drunken rage that night, saw an opportunity to engage in a kink that he'd previously managed to repress, and things got totally out of hand from there.

The problem I have with that is the lack of more forensic evidence. In my mind, this would be the the sort of person who would leave more than a drop or two of DNA behind. He'd leave a mess that nobody could ever clean up.

Just thinking...
