their was more battling here today than at the Rams minicamp.

Not a pretty sight, is it? I know I lost my cool.

Your day sounds like fun!

Hey John,

Your frig theory bears thought...now what if she was left outside at BIG BEAR...

[John Jamieson]

Bugmen are 4 for 4 that DW couldn't have dropped the body. We don't need a tiebreaker.

[JudyB1938]

I agree with you. Every night I pray for that poor man.

I don't think the true killer's identity will ever be known. Too much evidence was ignored/destroyed.

Obvious question: Whodunit???

[JudyB1938]

John, it has been said that the bugman testimony is too complicated for the jury to understand and will be ignored (paraphased). What do you think?

[clearvision]

I don't think I would want to own anything with bright orange 1 to 2" fibers either and I'm a UTexas grad.

I don't believe he still "owns" it or it would have been found in searches. Either he came in contact with something orange that belongs to someone else towards the end of the week, or he disposed of it (which has obvious implications).

[Spunky]

Thanks for finding the transcript.

I had posted this information several days ago to let some freepers know that the drag marks were not from Danielle's body.

I could not remember who was testifying though so I could not find the transcript.

[John Jamieson]

Friges are worse than just cold areas, because they draw moisture out of the air. 10 days in the frig would easily have produced the noted drying, hid the body from sight, etc. I think refrigeration was mentioned in today's testimony as a possibility, but it would not change the dump date, just explain where she had been. I hope she was not alive for those 10 days.

[Jrabbit]

I don't think the fibers came from anything owned by DW. Someone, like his family or ex would have remembered it. The defense didn't have access to VD's "environment". I'm thinking dog bed or fuzzy sweater.

[demsux]

Would a body laying in snow get "freezer burn"??? The searchers said the body appeared "burned".

[Spunky]

The wife of "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh has filed for divorce

I remember seeing he was on the front cover of one of the rag sheets. They said he was playing in B movies.

[clearvision]

Yeah, help build me back up. I remember that was one of my thoughts before. It could not have been something he had around the house because someone would have remembered it and I don't think he would have run to Walmart on the way back from Dad's to pickup his stealth equipment.

[John Jamieson]

Gosh, I hope not. Feldman is going to explain that all 4 experts are in complete agreement that the mostly dump date was 2/12 to 2/21. Someone said half the jury was exmilitary, they'll get it, even if they never understand what is really quite simple math. Anyone in the airconditioning or farming business understands degree-days and degree-hours.

[Karson]

I'm thinking dog bed or fuzzy sweater.

All that testimony about the chewed up dog bed sure did turn into much ado about nothing, didn't it?

[demsux]

Probably with Klaas...that guy looks weird.

[John Jamieson]

My favorite right now is the child porno ring creep that was arrested near midnight of 2/15 (Rowland). He MADE the kind of movies the porno haters want gone. He personally abuse young girls. He's from Poway. He needed to get rid of any spare bodies by the 15th! What better suspect could LE have?

[clearvision]

I don't see when he would have contact with the dog bed (assuming innocent). I really liked the sweater idea, but started loosing faith when Feldman started showing all the orange LE things (seemed desperate like they did not know what it was).

[Ditter]

I wonder why time is even being spent in court talking about the drag marks if they are random & caused by animals?

[Jrabbit]

If it was a blanket he had for a while wouldn't there be orange fibers in a linen closet or storage area of the MH? My son bought his girlfriend a sweater for Christmas that was soft and fuzzy but shed so much as to be practically unwearable.
