[Mr Information]

According to a poster on another forum (the San Diego Union-Tribune), Damon sold the van, replacing it with a used BMW, in February 2002 - so very soon after the kidnapping. See page 4 of the new book, “Rush to Judgement: a critical examination of the David Westerfield, Danielle van Dam child kidnapping and murder case, San Diego 2002”.
