I find it very strange that Brenda says that someone knows where Danielle is and "it's not me". I think that's a very odd thing to say about something that should be obvious in an innocent person. Just my opinion.
It is an odd thing to say. You may have noticed one of the top investigators on the case says there will be an arrest made shortly ...
I had thought Danielle's disappearance may have been coordinated between the Van Dams and Westerfield and that something went awry and Danielle was hurt, killed, or not returned as promised. But after reading your article, it sounds like the Van Dams might even have orchestrated this with one of their swinger friends and blamed Westerfield. In any case, Mr. Van Dam gives me the CREEPS!!!
