I think that VRWC_minion is referring to the outright speculation that Danielle ever had access to the MH and played in it at some point in time. Actually, assuming David Westerfield entered the van Dam's household is just as much outright speculation since there was zero evidence of his presence there. The hair, fiber, and DNA evidence only proves Danielle was in the MH, not when she was in it. That leads to two theories. The first is that a drunken 50-year-old man with no past record of sexual predatory behavior snuck into a house he'd never entered before, abducted Danielle, and then spirited her away to the motor home (presumably while still alive). The second is that Danielle had the opportunity to explore the motor home while walking to the park, to a friend's house, etc. and left trace evidence during her "adventure."
Having been a kid that was prone to exploring places I shouldn't, the second sounds more reasonable at first blush, but that's just my opinion.

The second is that Danielle had the opportunity to explore the motor home while walking to the park, to a friend's house, etc. and left trace evidence during her "adventure."But the only evidence entered at trial shows this option is not possible. Danielle was not allowed to walk across the street and such alone and there is not evidence she had any opportunity to explore the MH. The forensic evidence found in the MH is what establishes DW getting her that weekend, coupled with him being gone on a very erratic trip that resulted in no normal camping activity. JMO

faulkner and the 2nd bug guy both discussed mummification a little right, yet that is not their specialty right?? I missed the 2nd bug guy's description of the mummification... I was just saying that I dont' see much of a difference.
To: Stiv
Couldn't agree more, Stiv.
You also forgot to mention how DW would have gotten Danielle into the motorhome, since it wasn't in his driveway that night...he had to go get it. Did he transport her in his SUV? There's no evidence of her being in there. Did he keep her in his house? Alone? While he went to go get the RV? Doubtful.

I have a problem with the ant testimony because there isn't any proof of them at this site nor is there an attempt to estimate their effect.
For example, the ants only ate the larva before mid February and not after that ?
To: cyncooper
No, it doesn't cyn. All it establishes is that Danielle was in the MH at SOME POINT. They can't prove when, or for what reason...only that she was there.

I was just saying that I dont' see much of a difference.Yes, the bug guys established bug activity on the condition of the body. It is helpful, therefore, to have this anthopologist who is an expert in the decay and mummification of bodies to testify. He has studied fly and insect activity and if Goff is able to testify, will be a very good foundation for that testimony.
To: VRWC_minion
good point minion - I would think that the other two bug guys would have considered ant evedence too - that's bug stuff.

If we are free to speculate without evidence isn't it possible that Westerfield entered the girls bedroom as a voyuer (as well as others) numerous times before undetected?
To: VRWC_minion
and not leave a single trace of evidence behind?
To: mommya
good point minion Do I only have good points when I question the prosecutor ?
To: ItsOurTimeNow
and not leave a single trace of evidence behind?Sure why not ? I was told the visitors that night didn't leave any evidence ?
To: VRWC_minion
what visitors and which night are you referring to?
To: VRWC_minion
If we are free to speculate without evidence isn't it possible that Westerfield entered the girls bedroom as a voyuer (as well as others) numerous times before undetected?Hmmmmmmmm. We do KNOW that the vanDams had people in the house Friday night, yet the police did not find their fingerprints......It is possible for a person to be in a place and not leave behind evidence (as you know).
To: ItsOurTimeNow
what visitors and which night are you referring to?The night Danielle was abducted there were visitors weren't there ?
