With all due respect, Fresno, there are over 50 days in your list, which makes it statistically inconclusive, to put it mildly. Children are abducted at all different times of the year. If we used your list, we'd find that every single abduction occurred on or near one of those Satanically significant dates. I think you're chasing phantoms with that theory.
(golitely) Agree with your cogent comments, and allow me to reiterate, I am not being dogmatic, just that it is important to remain open to many possibilities, this case will not conclude (if ever) as a typical kidnapping, there is a deeper sinister level here, and it has to do with the parents deviant lifestyle. IMHO!!
Remember, these threads are mature, they have been discussed by Freepers for several weeks since the original post, and the same conclusion continues to reappear for me.
1. Yes, the Van Damned couple are prolific and dedicated SWNGRS.
2. They lived in the suburbs, in an upscale (Yes Hildy!) $400,000 dollar home. Also New Excursion SUV.
3. Damon VD has questionable income to debt ratio. Would need to make $100,000 or more per year as the contractor he is. Other freepers have confirmed that phone tech engineers earn from 50-75K, with luck!
4. Finally, the VD's alibi is bizarre and suspect, to say the least. I agree with many other post that in fact Westerfield is a diversion, or is simply a willing accomplice with the VD's in this tragedy.
5. As for the Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) connection, it is ALWAYS a bizarre and unbelievable consideration. And that is exactly why it is so difficult for the masses to accept. And yes, I am aware that in the early 1990's, the FBI did an in-depth investigation into SRA, and concluded, totally a hoax.........
Just my thoughts, welcome other angles as usual!!
