I think that the neighbor, Daniel Westerfield, made a big mistake in letting police search his house. Stymied by the lack of any clues whatsoever of this girl's disappearance, they'll find some sort of excuse to charge Westerfield, trump up some sort of evidence against him, and put him away for life.

I'd be looking real hard at these parents.

They claim to have passed a lie detector test given by the police.

Why did he make a mistake if he isn't guilty and he knows that they are suspicious of him.

Look at the evidence they had against OJ and he was found innocent. The police aren't that stupid.

"I think that the neighbor, Daniel Westerfield, made a big mistake in letting police search his house"

Absolutely correct. Even if he is as pure as the driven snow, he should have INSISTED that the police get a warrant to search any of his property. That provision is in the Constitution for a very good reason, and we need to be sure to exercise it. NEVER "allow" the police to search your car, house, or any other property without a warrant.

By the way, airport "security" searches are unConstitutional, but due to the climate of fear and people's need for reassurance, I don't expect that objection to be raised. (They were barely legal when done by a private entity (the airlines) as a condition of using their service. But now the "screeners are Federal employees, which makes them subject to the Constitution)
