Brenda's reply is that there are only three home models in their neighborhood. She also said at one point that people in their neighborhood feel safe and many don't lock their doors.
Q. Is Westerfield's home the same model as the van Dams?.
Q. Why would the van Dams suspect the abductor came from their neighborhood, and had the same model house? If it is a "safe", presumably upscale neighborhood, why would you assume kidnappers live there?
The thing that bugs me the most about this case is why did Westerfield wait until 9:30 the next morning to leave in the RV if he was the childs' killer? He didn't know when Danielle would be missed. He didn't know when search dogs would start fanning out from the van Dam house, two doors away. He didn't know when police would knock on his door with a house by house search. Why take such a risk of discovery? Had he already disposed of the child's body that night, then came home?
Westerfield is supposed to be a smart guy - he's an engineer. Why do you take blood stained clothes to a dry cleaner, instead of throwing it away? He had all weekend to get rid of stuff. Why take it to the cleaners?
How embarassing it would be to frame someone, only to find they have an airtight alibi. In O.J.'s case the timeline was so tight there was no way the police could be sure his alibi wouldn't hold up. In fact, they had every reason to believe he was actually out of town.
One possible reason is if he always left the same time each weekend, leaving earlier might draw attention to himself.
I'm GUESSING that this was because 9:30AM was the normal time for him to leave on weekends,and he didn't want to draw attention to himself by leaving earlier.
He didn't know when Danielle would be missed. He didn't know when search dogs would start fanning out from the van Dam house, two doors away. He didn't know when police would knock on his door with a house by house search.
Of course he did. How could he not know this stuff?
