Something's been on my mind. If you believe the bugs (especially Haskell), Danielle was alive until (roughly) the time she was dropped. We know this because the green bottle flies won't lay eggs on a body that's more than about a day and a half old.

So, where was she? Who had her? It definitely wasn't Westerfield. If Feldman believes the bugs, why wasn't he screaming this from the rooftops?

If Brenda and Damon hadn't lied so much, might the police have found Danielle alive?

Perhaps someone better-versed in this sort of thing will help me out here, but I heard or read somewhere that she might have been kept in a refrigerator, which would have kept the body "fresh" for the flies. If this is so, then I would say it's possible Damon killed her, stashed her in a fridge or freezer, and on his wild desert trip on the 16th, dropped her off at Dehesa to be "discovered." Just a theory, and note that in no way should it be construed as factual. (For the lurking jackals hoping to holler "lawsuit!")
