But Denise moved to Baltimore, why does she
need a place in FL?

[Krodg]

We have a couple of people checking on this. IIRC Denise was supposed to move to Baltimore? and that was the reason for the party on 1/26. When asked about the next weekend, she said she moved the date. I think Brenda had some testimony about moving the dates, but don't have time to check. I do remember hearing about Denise moving to FL and I think she was the one to testify to that. Perhaps she changed locations between the PH and actual trial?

[UCANSEE2]

Let's see. All the HANGEM crowd said that DW got horny, didn't end up with a date, so he went to the VD house, grabbed Danielle, has his way with her then killed her.

NOW, who had a DATE with Brenda, but got shutdown?

Who was supposed to meet her at DAD's ,but didn't show up?

Who could have gone to the VD home, entered, not been a stranger to the dog, not upset the boys, have been trusted by Danielle, and Danielle would have left with if he asked ?

[the Deejay]

Denise didn't testify in the prelim.

If I'm not mistaken, I think the partying on the
25th of Jan. was to celebrate her divorce. The
partying on the 1st of February was her "going
away party."

[spectre]

She went on a long extended vacation to Mexico?

After the verdict, we SHOULD know why she didn't testify..If I win, contribute it to FR!

[UCANSEE2]

So, it was on this 'second try' that they found the PRINTS that were not DW's , not Danielle's ?

[John Jamieson]

Awww. BILLY boy?

ALREADY BEEN DONE. The website is called STEALTH NINJA DAVE !.

I've spent some time there. He's done a *very* good job. That's where the idea probably came from.

Still, I get the impression that it is a work in progress, most of it done while the various things were going along. (How else to do it?)

I think it would be interesting, someday in the future, to completely erase the blackboard he's created and start again. I lack the energy for doing that myself at the moment. But that might be what the jury is doing. Hopefully so.

[sawsalimb]

I need to update that,and substitute "County",for "State",lol.

[John Jamieson]

Didn't he have a cabin with a Frig in it?

[John Jamieson]

What's the chances that not one of these 6 major players ever met hometown boy: Brooke L. Rowland?

[UCANSEE2]

Well, gee, (speculation section again) if you are using the internet to conduct illegal/illicit activities you might just want to use code words.

used/broken audio cables = ?

[the Deejay]

That time of year, he wouldn't need a fridge.
Just keep the body inside & don't put on any
heat!

[UCANSEE2]

I am getting it.

Used/broken audio cable= non-virgin female child.

Used light bulb for bike = non-virgin boy

[Krodg]

I meant 'brick' in the concept of talking to someone who has made their minds up with blood or porn. Some people have made a decision and have built a 'wall'.

[UCANSEE2]

He said a new one was $8 and he wasn't going to pay that.

Forget the codes, $8 is too much!

[John Jamieson]

It WAS a 6 channel audio system. And required lots of male and female plugs and jacks.

[Krodg]

It was fingerprinted earlier but I thought her prints were found when Graham wnet bask 'on a hunch'.

[juzcuz]

Just saw Dan Abrams on MSNBC-- His head is spinning

He said- something to the effect-he expected the verdict already. That Jury's are supposed to decide by "the totality of the evidence"- "not each individual piece of evidence".

Well, dah... Dunsick said-each individual piece of evidence pointed to DW's guilt. In fact,he implied Danielle was speaking from the grave and her voice has been heard through each piece of evidence.

My cats have their own room with a "cat" door for easy access and a sign on the door that says "Kitty Care Room". They are fed at the bar in this room and have a secluded litter box. Also a night light. They do sleep in the human's bed in the master bedroom at will.
