Fairly large dog to walk for a young child. My 7 year old son would not be able to walk our little apso lapso very far before getting frustrated and I certainly wouldn't let him walk him alone. I can't imagine him walking a dog the size of Van Dam's alone (unless someone refered me to wrong picture of dog.)
It would have to have been before it was stored in November, right?"
Yes it would, rl. The print and trace evidence would have remained from the time the MH was bought by DW, unless somehow disturbed by wiping, or other type of cleaning.
Based on all the trace evidence that turned up - that had been left by other visitors to his MH - it doesn't appear to me, that DW was near as fastidious about housekeeping, as he was, early on, given credit.
Also Neal, who lived at the house part-time and was there alot when the MH was being prepped for camping, testified yesterday he had never seen Danielle van Dam before---at all---and never by the MH.
