So because the doorhandle was reversed, the dog doesn't bark, the door has a reversed lock, the police asked them to tell them everyone who was in that house. It took them 15 hours as the van Dam's decided what was relevant and what was not relevant to the investigation, while their child was missing.
A babysitter was supposed to be in the house. Brenda testified that there was supposed to be a babysitter. So if they come back and tell you David Westerfield knew that there was going to be no one in the house, go back and check your notes.
No evidence that DAW was in the house.
Layla hairs in motorhome--(didn't catch it all)...
Denise, Rich, Keith all said dog jumped all over them, was a pain. Rich (?) knew the residence, had been there before, had been shown the house by the van Dams, he didn't even know whose bedroom was whose.
Dorie Savage and team went to that house several times in coming weeks. Suddenly the Van Dams became so cooperative, let LE take items. Dorie Savage told them they secured the premises, but the next day after she searched she found a shell casing there. Explain that, Mr. Dusek. Tell the jury, how did that get there? Mystery fingerprint man's trace evidence? Did LE pursue it? We don't know. There is no way someone unfamiliar with this residence could do this.
But when DAW cooperative with LE, he was suddenly overly cooperative. He was trying to help! But the spin is that it is sinister when DAW does it but helpful when the VDs do it.
