SAN DIEGO (AP)-- San Diego police crime scene investigators have returned to the home of a missing 7-year-old girl.
Police called the visit to Danielle van Dam's home Tuesday routine follow-up from an earlier visit. A spokesman declined to discuss what evidence is being processed at the scene.
Investigators have gathered more than 100 pieces of potential evidence from the van Dam home and the home and vehicles of neighbor David Westerfield, who is described as a potential suspect. Dozens of items are being examined by the San Diego police lab. Others are being scrutinized at an FBI lab.
Police say it could take weeks before the labs produce any useful information.
