I hold to my belief that Danielle's death was child abuse by daddy...he slapped her or pushed her and there was an accidental death . they needed a cover. The "kidnapping " was cover ...DW is victim 2

"Daddy, why is Barbara in bed with you?Where is mom!?!?"

"Dammit, Danielle! Why don't you knock?!?!"

"I don't know, the door was open..."

"You go back to bed..RIGHT NOW!"

SLAM

There go the teeth, falls down the stairs, not bad head injuries, but she is unconcious, and drowns in her noseblood.

Brenda comes in from the garage an hour or so later, and the rest is unwritten history.

I never posted that theory, because the master bedroom location didn't seem to jibe with it.

That's reasonable except for one thing, Barb was at Dad's.

falls down the stairs

One of the forensic people (Dorie Savage?) said that the blood on/near the stairs was "consistent with someone falling down the stairs".

Too tired to look up the transcript. I'll try and remember to get to it tomorrow.

There have always been rumors that the master bedroom was the actual crime scene. Hmm, wasn't that where the steam cleaner was?
