DANIELLE'S DEATH MAY REMAIN MYSTERY: (30 Days Ago, Van Dam Case Broke! Details Now Being Revealed!)

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.

Here's this, but it doesn't sound the same as what wirestripper said.

29. February 27, 2002 Court Judge Cynthia Bashant, who said she was inclined to release as much of the information as was legally possible. "I think that what happens when things are kept secret is it leads to a distrust of the system and it leads to innuendo and rumor replacing actual facts," Bashant said. A high-ranking official said Tuesday that investigators believe Westerfield, 50, a self-employed engineer who lives two houses from the van Dams in Sabre Springs, kidnapped Danielle three weeks ago for sexual purposes. Prosecutors Tuesday added a charge of possessing pornography that depicts minors engaged in sexual conduct, a misdemeanor.

During one of their searches, investigators confiscated pornography from Westerfield's home. They cannot determine whether girls in the photos are under 18.

In what form were these pictures - magazines, videos, computer files? Why didn't he ditch these materials?

Think of this scenario. You are a child, asleep in your bed, and you awake to find your bedroom door shut. One time occurrence?

It should be an everyday occurence, especially in a two story home. Most deaths in house fires occur from smoke inhalations rather than heat and flames. Many could be prevented by the simple precaution of sleeping with bedroom doors closed to provide a barrier.

You didn't tell me if you are enjoying all this. If you do that's fine with me. Some people "swing" some people do what you do. However you get your thrills I guess.

Do I enjoy all of this?  What, witty banter, with highly intelligent freeper, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT GREG!!! :0)

Do I enjoy what has happened to Danielle van Dam, no comment, doesn't deserve an answer.  (I will do the same thing the VD's do!)

Did you have the opportunity to watch the Americas Most Wanted show last night?  What Damon said varies from what they told the PD and from what AMW posted on their website, based upon the testimony of the VD's.  I believe that is a significant change.

Damon VD's response last night was not a clarification, it was an about face......and I agree with many freepers that the guy has evil eyes.

Has anyone established if he is in fact the Bio Dad of Danielle?  I have never seen anything written to the contrary, though such comments have been voiced on San Diego Talk Radio....(Had to make somthing in my post RED to irritate ole' Kim! LOL)

Maybe the girls were over 18 or he thought so and didn't think he was breaking any laws. Who knows ????

Yes I mean IF there is some kind of history..complaint from someone....Only conviction he has I believe was 1996 for Drunk Driving..divorce cases are public and the media probably checked for custody battles/complaints....but Police had to have probable cause for warrant and that is what I want to see...

They removed 'bags' of porno and other evidence from his home (it was on TV) so I'm betting there were some hard copies.

Closet Doors Removed

SAN DIEGO , CA - For the second time in as many days Wednesday, investigators returned to the van Dam home and removed more potential evidence. The closet doors were taken from Danielle's room. Authorities hope to remove finger prints from the doors.

Has anybody noticed if DVD colored or highlighted his hair in the past three weeks? My S-I-Law swears that he looks as if he did. I can't tell.

Please tell me that the VDs did NOT go out for dinner on the night that Danielle's body was found. That would be too unbelievable for me!

His main goal is defending the "lifestyle" of the VD's. You will notice he contributes nothing-- just questions others contributions.

That's a great point! I wonder what is in those divorce decrees!! Allegations of abuse towards minors, but not proven?

Man, this all just gives credence to those childhood fears of the monster in the closet.

I heard on the radio that other materials obtained from Westerfield's house related to stories of child abduction.
