Conklin said that before noon Feb. 2, Westerfield hiked to an encampment of off-road enthusiasts and told a man he was stuck. That man went to Conklin's business and directed him to Westerfield.
Westerfield was alone and without an all-terrain vehicle or dune buggy when Conklin found him trying to dig out his motor home, which had sunk into the sand up to its frame. Conklin said he was immediately suspicious, and that he saw a long line of footprints that stretched from the motor home off into the distance.

Well, the "long line of footprints" seem to be Westerfield going off to get help. Unless, of course,they are going off in another direction.

I, too, find this story very disturbing. I heard on the local 11:00 pm news last night that the items that were confiscated from Westerfield's home had to do with pornography. I hope that is wrong.

Another thing strange, in this very strange case, is that Westerfield told the police that he danced with Mrs. van Dam and she says that she did not. Why the discrepancy?

The other thing is that the time she came home has changed from 2:30 am to 2:00 am. Why? And why would you invite people over only to have them leave after 15 minutes? Did they stay longer? Did they do the "swinging" thing and not want to prejudice the public against them for their "different" lifestyle? She did not deny the "rumors" that are flying.

It is such a strange case. I'm beginning to seriously doubt Westerfield's involvement in the disappearance. Last thing, the police spokesman on the day we first heard of Westerfield actually reminded everyone of the Richard Jewell case during the Atlanta Olympics. Hmmmm.

Mrs Van Damm did NOT DENY she danced with Westerfield, it was "Clinton speak" like "I don't recall dancing with him, he may have danced with one of my friends".

You REALLY have to "parse" every word from the Van Damms. It's "Clinton speak", every word of it.

Westerfield's movements are damning. The ONLY reason people go to the desert there is to go dune buggying. No dune buggy, no reason. So what's his reason? As as experienced desert traveler, he's very aware that anything buried will be windswept "clean" on top very fast. No tracks, no trail, no scent.

Well for starters when he was towed out of the sand he took off leaving his leveling ramps behind. Sure was in a hurry. And who drives out to Glamis twice in a weekend? And only stays a short while. It is not a short drive from San Diego. This guy first met the mother and daughter a week before while they were selling Girl Scout cookies in the neighborhood. If he knew the mother was still out it would have made it much easier to see where the father was and sneek in the house. And the reports here in San Diego are that the guy had child porn. I guess the moral of this story will be not to sell Girl Scout cookies to neighbors and make them aware of you.
