The police say Danielle's blood was found in Westerfield's RV and on his clothing. If there is no trauma to the body, where did the blood come from?
It seems to me the easiest way to kill a child is by smothering or strangulation, neither of which would create a lot of blood.
I asked the same question...there was speculation elswhere that the killer took one of the victim's mickey mouse earrings for a souvenir and tore it off, causing a small amount of blood...FWIW..
