No one actually knows where Danielle was killed, except the killer. It's probably a good guess that it didn't occur in her home, but they had no evidence of intruder either.

"Locked Room" murder mysteries are standard fare in fiction, yet truth is stranger than fiction.

2006 Child Abduction Murder Study

· In 74 percent of the cases, the child murder victim was female and the average age was 11 years old.

· In 44 percent of the cases, the victims and killers were strangers, but in 42 percent of the cases, the victims and killers were friends or acquaintances.

· Only about 14 percent of the cases involved parents or intimates killing the child.

"Only about 14 percent of the cases involved parents or intimates killing the child"

I certainly agree that the JBR case was a statistically rare one...

BTW, who the heck is Danielle???

"...No one actually knows where Danielle was killed..."

Then it doesn't appear to stand as evidence to support your contention?

There is nothing at your link, but since you titled it "Abduction Murder," I wouldn't think there would be a whole lot of parents, percentage-wise, who had to abduct their children to kill them - only the obvious non-custodial ones and that might be the whole 14% you're quoting.

As for Danielle, you were the one who was comparing apples to oranges - a primary crime scene where the victim was killed and the body was found, compared to a secondary crime scene where the victim was simply abducted. Big difference in actions involved.

I think you meant to make that a link (Abduction Murder Study) to a website but got the forum in it instead.

I'd like to see it if you can put it up. Thanks.
