And the van Dams had three (3) probably very active kids who were putting a crimp on the evening's possible activities. I personally think that the parents are not capable of murder, but would go to (what we would regard) as great lengths to further their "freedom of expression", and at the same time feel good in the knowledge that they were protecting their child from things that they "weren't old enough" yet to know about.
Some have remarked that it was strange that the kids went to bed so early. When did Danielle's brothers wake up? Has anyone been allowed to ask them that question?
Clearly, if Westerfield had an inkling that this was how the van Dams dealt with their children on "swing-nights", his "opportunity detector" would have gone off-scale.
The only unknown for Westerfield was how to know if Danielle would awaken during the act, for surely that would lead to a surprise that Westerfield would not have expected.
I don't see the van Dams admitting that they medication their child with sleeping potions, because that could open them up to an allegation from the defense that Danielle may have been overdosed.
