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.
WRT: Your 405 post..well put and execellent observation..
Thank you for the comparison. For all we know Westerfield planted the rumors about the Van Dam's alleged activities. I am shocked by the overwhelming insinuations in this thread against the parents based on rumors. If you can recall, an innocent man was tried for the bombings at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta based on rumor.
I would think that there would be more conjecture about Westerfield, his background, his lifestyle and his motivations. Just where has he been for the last 50 years of his life, and what has he been doing.
