I think some people on this thread FORGET that Brenda brought home people, woke the husband up and then partied in the garage.....maybe someone could post a timeline snapshot....it would show the doubting Thomases that this little girl was NOT snatched while the parents were in their bedroom sleeping!!

Irish, many homes here in the Bay Area are unfortunately $500k, and people are not making $125K a year, so yes, it's affordable for them. I can't give you the specific details because I'm too poor and live in a run down neighborhood, but yes, loads of people are doing that.

his was lifted from another post

First floor walk in violent abduction by released violent psycho who had been lurking in the neighborhood.

Second floor "hot prowl" through house by neighbor who was at the bar (at least) with Brenda shortly before the abduction.

Mark Klaas was not locked in the garage getting stoned, with unkown "swingers" in and out of his house.

My addition....not to mention the fact that the alarm system had recorded an intruder and Mr. or Mrs. VD turned it off and did not check on their daughter.....

Now I'm sorry I apologized. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to link a child's innocent fascination with a necklace with S&M crap.

And so, you'll see a complete playing-down of the van Dams' alleged sexual adventuring, and a playing-UP of the Yates' fundamentalist Christianity.

Isn't THAT the truth! I am getting really irritated every time I hear of Mr. Yates being portrayed as a man "who wanted to live a traditional lifestyle where the man was the breadwinner and the wife was the homemaker", as if that was the cause of the deaths of those beautiful children! It's outrageous, yet all of the talking heads seem to be buying into it as if it represents some kind of perverse lifestyle!

...and wonder if they can even have normal feelings toward their children.

I really haven't been following, and so can't comment about the dirty details; but even before I ever heard of such being involved, my impression of them was Not of worried parents, but of a couple focused on managing their 15 minutes of fame.

agreed , I have refrained from posting to the remarks about the necklace because this thread has worn me out, this entire event with Danielle Van Dam has been very sad to say the least. the statements about the necklace and her being groomed for the porn industry are ignorant.

Read the book of revelations..

Kim, don't have time to read the entire book of The Revelation (it is singular, not plural my dear!) but this is very apropos from the New Testament...

2 Timothy 3
1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3
inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, 7 who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

swayed by various impulses (or multiple partners?)

No reflection on the Klaas family. As that other monster, Richard Speck, would say, "It just wasn't their night."

Actually, here in Houston, it's being used as a reason to BLAME him for the deaths of the children and paint AY as a victim of her fundamentalist husband. It takes 2 to tango. AY's situation was grave, but if a man had done the same thing it wouldn't matter if he suffered from mental illness or not he'd be toast.

But... if you found the front door open in the middle of the night, you'd probably check on your babies, right after you closed the door, right

Especially if one of your children was known to be a sleepwalker, as Danielle was said to be.

Well, and I'm not excusing AY, but hubby wanted them all to live on a school bus, while he was making $85k a year, and they did. That's just weird and sick.

the dog, a weirmoraner (is that proper spelling?).

No,but I can't spell it either,and it's close enough I know what you mean.

Two said it was debarked, one didn't go into it, and one said it wasn't debarked. I was going by the latter, but if the majority rules, the dog may have been debarked. And--as has been pointed out here, some dogs who have not been debarked don't bark when they should.

The point still remains: why didn't the dog at least interfere with the prowler, unless the prowler was known to the dog, that is?

I am GUESSING that with guests in the house,the father put the dog in a room so he wouldn't attack/bother any of the guests going to the bathroom,etc,etc,etc.

, it's never been mentioned, but I wonder if Westerfield has bite marks somewhere on his person?

I have no idea. What I think is that he became a suspect after the police interviewed the parents about who they had had contact with the previous night,and when the police ran his name through their computer,they got a "ping". Chances are that this guy has been arrested on child molestion chanrges some time in the past,but had the charges dropped or beat it in court.

Detectors and Guards are not much of a deterrent to an enraged parent, maybe they were remembering Ellie Nessler, from Jackson, CA I think, killed the guy who molested her son in court? Think I am correct. As for the VD's, Damon doesn't strike me as a fence jumper, but Brenda could pack some heat...

Are you blind? Did you look at Reply 370?

I must be blind,because she looks just like a normal little girl in the 3 photos of her there. The only sick photos there are the ones from your personal collection that have nothing to do with this little girl.

maybe another Jack Ruby? Or maybe "Gary" is still out there and they're concerned that "Gary" could kill their main "witness"
