Or, instead of beatlemania, how about:

THE BUG-BATTALION

[Rheo]

Does anyone else wonder if there is a connection beside me?

Yes, I am also wondering.

[jacquej]

The thought of a connection between Samantha's murder and Danielle's hit me immediately, then I wondered about the difference between entering a home at night, and snatching from the street...

I eventually wondered if there is any chance that Danielle actually woke up earlier than usual that morning, and went outside to play or walk the dog, and then was snatched in a similar manner.

With Danielle's parents sleeping off the party the night before, they may not have heard her go out...

[Henrietta]

Hey, if you don't like the expert you hired, just hire another one, right? After all, you have unlimited taxpayer money to spend!

[UCANSEE2]

With Danielle's parents sleeping off the party the night before, they may not have heard her go out...

Or, While Brenda was at the Dad's, and while Damon was supposed to be babysitting (rumors from neighbors were that he was several blocks away visiting a girlfriend), Danielle snuck out of the house.

This would help explain Damon's SOMBER mood. Couldn't admit to Brenda that Danielle had run away while he was out HORNDOGGING (to use an expression). So he decides to play it cool, hope Danielle will come back. Next morning, when Brenda finds Danielle isn't in her room, Damon tells Brenda , CALL 911. THat is why they called before searching neighborhood. Damon already knew she had been gone for HOURS.

Thnx for the link...I have to do some errands..but will definitely check it out when we get back tonight...Did you see this post by spunky?

I like this theory - it would mean DW didn't do it, without making the parents evil molesters. It is easy for me to believe that the VDs were inattentive and self-absorbed. It is not easy for me to believe that they were evil, any more than it is easy for me to believe DW is evil.

I really think you may be onto something here - I bet Feldman is all over this when court resumes.

Because each scientist has his own method of determining the life spans, the process can lead to disagreement, Merritt said. Rarely, however, does the disagreement concern the 15-day disparity in the Westerfield case.

Where is it? I have my attached my spew-proof shield to my monitor.

I can't help but wonder too. Just why are the police and profilers so sure this is the work of a serial killer - they must know a whole lot we don't yet know. I keep thinking - what would set this guy off to be so "in your face" - according to the cops and FBI I believe - with this killing. Could he be mad because someone else - DW - is getting all the attention for something he did? Of course that's just speculation - please no flames - I know many of us must surely be wondering about a link.

[mommya]

I like that theory.

[small_l_libertarian]

Need to clarify my comments above - according to DVD and BVD, Danielle was pretty much sitting alone at the kitchen table from the time BVD returned with the pizza and the time BVD left for Dad's.

(After that, there's very little mention of where Danielle was and what she was doing for the rest of the night until DVD says he put the kids to bed.)

My theory is that she was possibly snatched while playing in front of her house when BVD went to get the pizza. After BVD got back home from getting pizza, everyone was occupied - BVD getting ready to go out, DVD drinking beers and playing video games, boys playing video games. Except for Danielle, who was supposedly sitting at the kitchen table writing. I think she was actually not there during this time and no one noticed.

Maybe this other guy really did do it.

I don't think there is a link. MOs are too different. I would not rule out someone trying to be a copy-cat.

[UCANSEE2]

Whether the HANGEMHIGH(DW) crowd believes this or not, I have actually been open-minded to all theories.

I believe that we must explore all possibilities.

I have always said that the VD's were responsible for the disappearance of their daughter. This doesn't mean they did it. It means they were not being responsible parents.

The police pursed ONE theory and are now trying to make the facts fit the theory.

That is why I don't accept it.

Danielle's brother Dylan apparently told police Danielle had run off several times in the past, and that she didn't come back on her own. Brenda and Damon had to hunt her down. There is a reason for her running off if it happens repeatedly.

Neighbors reportedly told the press that Damon left the house that Friday night and the had reason to say he went to another woman's house in the neighborhood. THis was during the time Brenda and the girls were at Dad's.

Want to know where the blood and drag marks in the VD yard came from? Want to know why they weren't Danielle's? Want to know why Danielle ran off that night?

I HAVE THE ANSWER. It all has fallen into place.

[connectthedots]

At least he could tell us which song he is going to parody.

[small_l_libertarian]

Do tell.

[connectthedots]

Neighbors reportedly told the press that Damon left the house that Friday night and the had reason to say he went to another woman's house in the neighborhood. THis was during the time Brenda and the girls were at Dad's.

Seems like speculation, something for which there is no shortage in this case. Who is the alleged woman? If she is identified and called to testify, would that help or possibly hurt DW. After all, if Damon was out of the house, it would have provided a better opportunity for the kidnapper (assuming Danielle was in the house when she was abducted)to enter undetected. At the least, it would cast even more suspicion on the prosecution's case because it would be another lie exposed.

[Politicalmom]

False advertising!! Fraud!!

Where's the parody!!!!????

[UCANSEE2]

The dog had peed in Danielle's room. When Brenda, Barb,Denise get together, Layla jumps all over everyone. Damon locks the dog in one of the bedrooms (his or Danielle's). The dog peed there, tore up it's dogbed

After Brenda and friends leave, Damon puts the kids to bed. He kills the dog, he has had it and his temper gets the best of him.

He then goes to visit a 'girlfriend' that lives a couple of blocks away. While he is gone, Danielle gets up, finds the evidence (blood, the dog in the trash can by the garage) and runs away.

Damon comes home to find Danielle is gone, the lid is off the trash can.

He gets rid of the dog, maybe he even searches for Danielle, maybe he hopes she will come home on her own.

Brenda,friends come home around 2am. Damon is 'SOMBER'. He is hoping if Brenda doesn't notice, that Danielle will show up and he can claim ignorance.

Unfortunately, someone has picked Danielle up. Someone that likes to pick up little girls. Maybe he talked to her about having just lost her dog.

Next morning, Brenda is awakened by the doorbell, (Damon hopes it is Danielle) but it is the neighbor girl. Brenda finds Danielle is gone, so Damon tells her to call 911, because he already knows.
