I don't think they were bought off in the Moxley case ... and I don't think they were afraid. I think they were "in awe". You and I are probably in agreement about the Moxleys ... though possibly not about the Van Dams and their neighbor. I think the police are right to go after him at this point. And furthermore, neither of us knows what the police have found at this point. Let's wait ... and hope. :)
