That may be so, but this quote seems to be an interesting twist in the 'Westerfield case':

the lawyers tried to broker a deal last February in which Westerfield would reveal the location of Danielle's body in exchange for a guarantee that he would not face the death penalty. He would plead guilty and receive life without parole. Both sides were about to ink the deal, according to the paper, when volunteer searchers found Danielle's body.

Yes, I imagine that that added some pride to the searchers. They not only found the little girl, but fast enough to stop Westerfield from escaping death.

Perhaps this needs to be quoted once more......

All of the secret hearing transcripts were released today as well.

Including:

Westerfield "date raped" a lady 12 years ago when they were both 38 yrs. old. Of course this lady also claims she was raped by a politician and her doctor among others.

Westerfield was seen at local "strip bars". No one under 21 allowed, however.

Westerfield said to a adult female neighbor words to the effect, "So you're the one with the treadmill". I guess this means he was watching her with his famous Binochs.

A guy said he heard screaming coming from Westerfield's MH on Feb. 2nd while parked at Silver Strand. The guy is also a convicted felon.

A woman said she saw Westerfield's MH at Dehesa on her birthday, Feb. 4th. Why she waited until after the body was found on Feb. 27th to inform police is a mystery.
