CAUSE OF GIRL'S DEATH COULD REMAIN MYSTERY

Police say they may never know how Danielle van Dam died, or when. The seven-year-old girl disappeared from her San Diego home February first. Authorities are now confirming that a child's body found by volunteer searchers Wednesday is that of the missing child. The district attorney says an autopsy performed confirmed her identity yesterday. The identification was made through dental records because of the condition of the body. Medical examiners are trying to determine the cause of death, but Police Chief Dave Bejerano says it's possible that we'll never know how, or when she was killed. A neighbor has been charged with kidnapping and murdering her. Authorities say they found the girl's blood on his clothing and in his motor home. He has pleaded innocent.

No no no...you know how stories can get watered down by then time they get to you for example. I do not believe you or your son-n-law have any reason to lie. I've had some nastiness dished out to me though... (HIGHFIVES?)

[rolling_stone]

Well Kim, you started the morning with an open mind, but then used the word "perp" (66)to indicate Westerfield....how about suspect instead? Just like the rumors/allegations against the VD's the same goes to the other side...

As a note according to this site if a body is found within 30 days it can be pinpointed whether the body was moved and time of death within a few hours.( a little gory)..regards...

Interesting case here:

....and something else to ponder about the Americas Most Wanted....

America's Most Wanted was filmed before the confirmation of Danielle's body being found. The smirk on Damon Van Dam's face was chilling. My hair stood up on my arm. Their timelines were much different than heard before. Many folks did not realize that Brenda had met Westerfield the weekend before Danielle's abduction. Isn't that a bit strange.

The "smoker" theory is also news to me. What is that all about. This story has more twists and turns !

Now it is all about donating to the fund.  If it was for funeral costs then no problem with that. When it's said like it was it sounds shady!

So I guess this means you guys aren't going to believe me when I tell you I am Princess Esmerelda of Wasco sent here on a secret mission by the Mossad? Gosh darn it........this is no fun............ :)

When they found the child porno pics on his puter and blood, he became a perp. The judge decided to not make public the pics..with good reason.

[SlickWillard]

The father has never appeared distraught or even mildly anguished over his daughter's disappearance and murder.

If I were Danielle's father, and I had even the slightest inkling that David Westerfield had killed my daughter, he would be dead and I would be on trial for his murder.

[And if I were Fred Goldman, O.J. would have been dead in June of 1994.]

Stories can get watered down but this came pretty directly. I happen to know the other LEO too. He's been a friend for about 6 years and was in our daughter's wedding.

I doubt if it got watered or changed from one guy to another to me. Besides, it wasn't full of details and juicy things; just that they lived this lifestyle.

[MizSterious]

What? Donations for what??

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

What's that Your Highness.......lol

I find it a bit obscene and grotesque that someone actually built a stairway to go to the site of her body.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Are those wooden stairs new? Don't tell me that this is now a shrine. It's only a matter of time when they start selling Corn Dogs and Funnel Cakes.

People who are true crime buffs are like mystery novel readers ... they come up with theories, discard them and put it all back together again. The police do the same thing. No one here is putting the trial in jeopardy.

Yes ---it's just interesting --the "who done it" stuff. Like watching a Columbo show.

[rolling_stone]

pervert nor perpetrator?.....and what about the early reports that the police could not state if minors were in the pictures.....of course they added the charge as one more nail...apparently someone decided they were minors...blood can get somewhere by many means...especially if it is one drop...

[crypt2k]

Somewhere, I heard one of the van Dams say that Danielle was a heavy sleeper and most likely thought it was her father carrying her, instead of the perp.

OTOH that the van Dams also said that Danielle "sleep-walked"...

If Danielle sleep walked, was there a gate across the top of the stairs?

Or is this a possible defense to a charge that the van Dams may give her sleep medicene?

Is there evidence in Danielle's medical record that she sleep-walked?

Sleepwalking usually occurs in a partly awakened subject, usually a child. Sleepwalking can be initiated by worry or tension. Sleepwalkers usually don't remember their activities.

Perhaps the noises in the garage awakened young Danielle, and the commonly agreed on explaination given by the van Dams was that she sleepwalked. However, swinging guests concerned for their privacy may have suggested to the van Dams another course of action:

drug your children to protect our activities.

Like I said before, if Weseterfield obtained information that the children, and in particular Danielle, was drugged on party nights,

this would have sent his opportunity meter OFF SCALE,

assuming he was the abductor.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Are those wooden stairs new?

They sure look new. This is so sick !!!!! I would be so offended if it were my loved one.

I'm sorry......I think it is more ghoulish than it is respectful.

Just read your post. What Feldman was trying to tell us is NOT to prejudge DW from the reports of what evidence the SDPD has that may point to his clients guilt. We don't KNOW for sure about any of the evidence, even if it exists.

It's troubling to hear the PD say they may never know what killed Danielle. I would hope that if Westerfield did it, he would confess the circumstances. Especially if the deck was stacked against him, and it was proven beyond a resonable doubt he was the perp.

Maybe it's naive on my part, but I think if Westerfield killed the child, he will eventually come clean. Obviously, the SDPD thinks differently...not even hoping for a full confession is throwing in the towell too soon, IMHO.
