One more thing, the police also said there were Westerfield's fingerprints in Danielle's bedroom.

That, I believe, is not true. I have been watching this very closely (I live within a few miles from the VD's). I have never heard about a fingerprint of Westerfield's in Danielle's room. Unless, this is a brand new "leak".

This is strange, indeed. Perhaps they took it off to avoid poisoning potential jurors, I don't know. But that is the exact sentence I had read, and it wasn't only on the "www.theadvertiser.news.com" website. Your thoughts?
