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.

If it were ONE REPORTER writing all those different versions, I too would question it. Unfortunately, news reporters usually don't check each others facts. I think the story they told the police should take lead..

Plus, I'm sure you would agree, that the police interviewed the guests..actually, somewhere in those news stories..he said all guests in that house on the night/day in question had been cleared..

I made this for quick reference. I just don't feel like looking up where he said the visitors had been cleared.

Now, Damon, I want you to squirt a few for that camera.

ROFL!! Best line of the day..

The necklace is just a popular necklace that little girls wear. Little girls often have one favorite thing that they wear every day. It doesn't mean anything. She is not into S&M or anything nefarious. She was just a little girl.

And thank goodness she was wearing it, when they found her body that was one of the first things that they reported her wearing.

a journal entry by Danielle

What's that all about?

What I remember reading about what Pierce read, the journal entry he was referring to said:

"Please don't be mad at me, daddy." And another entry which said "Please love me, daddy."

You're sick and you need help. Must be nice feeling so superior to these people who just lost their child. I wonder how you would survive a microscope being taken to your life.

"I am the destroyer – I'm driven by anger because of what happened to my kid," Klaas said. "I don't want the perverts to win; they messed with the wrong person."

"And, just by being here, I represent a future – I show that they're not always going to be stuck in the grip of the fear."

During the trial, Klaas had an opportunity to address Davis: "I told him, 'Mr. Davis, when you get to where you're going, say hello to Hitler, say hello to (Jeffrey) Dahmer and say hello to (Ted) Bundy.' " Davis was convicted and sentenced to death

25. February 23 2002 Klaas called David Westerfield, whom police arrested yesterday on suspicion of kidnapping and burglary, "a sniveling punk."

He was making fun of those freepers who claim that the van dams are FAKING their grief. I guess it would look terrible if you didn't know the history behind that post.

[cake_crumb]

Yep...if this stuff is true, it would have a lot of bearing on this case.

Thanks for your comment. Please bookmark my post and refer to it again in about a year. You will never again read a truer prediction of the course this case will take.

[Freedom2specul8]

Yes, that was the other entry he referred to.

[ResistorSister]

How did the police know to go to Westerfield?

How did he become the focus of the investigation?

[nicmarlo]

mystery of Brenda and the hundreds of visitors to your house, any one of whom could be a potential killer . . .guarenteee this will be the biggest court drama since OJ!"

Yes, crypt, that is something I hadn't thought of.....hundreds of visitors (possibly) to the VD household, anyone of whom could have done something......but why? Police statistics (I believe) show that immediate family members are looked at first because that is who usually is involved in the deaths of spouses/children.

And yes, this trial will be played out in the courtroom as much as the OJ circus.

[SlickWillard]

She is not into S&M or anything nefarious.

My point was not that she [Danielle] was into S&M - my point was that it looked as though her PARENTS were dressing her up as, or allowing her to leave the house dressed up as, a little bondage slave.

And thank goodness she was wearing it, when they found her body that was one of the first things that they reported her wearing.

If this is correct, it would only serve to further my thesis - why was this poor child always wearing this hideous choker - even as she was being murdered?

[Cold Heat]

Good morning, I see we are still at it. I think the Bevery Hills guy got sideways with Mr. VD at the outset. He may be wierd but I take his reaction as a intuitive feeling. Some times it means something and sometimes not. Just another piece of a complicated puzzel. I did not give it much weight but did not totally ignore it.

Van Dam investigators seek links to past crimes February 20, 2002

Investigators in the Danielle van Dam case are looking for similarities to other abductions over the years, including an unsolved 1974 crime in which a girl was kidnapped and killed three miles from Danielle's home, authorities said yesterday. "At this point, more than 100 items of potential evidence have been gathered from the van Dam home, a neighbor's home and two vehicles belonging to that neighbor," police spokesman Dave Cohen said. Police have not said what caused them to focus on Westerfield. He attracted police interest after he came home Feb. 4 from a weekend trip to the desert. Westerfield said he encountered Danielle's mother at a Poway nightspot the night of Feb. 1 before leaving for the Imperial County dunes in Glamis.

I don't understand the part about a journal entry having something to do with "good will". In truth, I can't see how it has any bearing on this case.

All the tabloid reporting by the media has made the FACTS of the case so fuzzy that the truth will probably NEVER be known.

[MizSterious]

You know, I hadn't even considered that the little tyke was wearing it while being murdered. The killer must have liked the choker necklace, else it would have been gone along with the other clothing. This gets more grotesque all the time.

[crypt2k]

"It's possible we'll never know how or where Danielle was killed"...parapharased.

NEVER know? Why not, they've got their man, don't they?

Are they testing the tissues for presence of drugs, say baribituates? Maybe someone lace her soft drink with what they thought was a sufficient amount of material to keep Danielle asleep from 10pm to, say, 9am. Maybe they miscalculated by a factor of two, four, ...?

[WIMom]

Thank you!

[nicmarlo]

why was this poor child always wearing this hideous choker - even as she was being murdered?

Ya know, I had that very thought when I heard that the choker was discovered on her body......I thought, my God, she never took that off? I have two daughters (older now); yes, when they were kids, they had their favorites of everything (videos replayed (while I pulled out my hair), over and over; songs played, over and over; shoes/tops/pants, whatever, over and over (digging out of the dirty clothes, trying to wear it yet again); jewelry, etc.). Granted, Danielle is not my children, however, they went on to the next favorite thing. But even their favorites didn't last for more than a year....it was on to the next "have to wear" favorite........I would say her parents "grooming" her is an appropriate word, slick.
