Link?
Post # 42 is apparently referring to the Danielle Van Dam case. Her neighbor, David Westerfield, was convicted of her murder here in San Diego in 2002.
The girl's parents did testify in court to a party on the night she was abducted.
You can do a search on "Van Dam" or "Westerfield" here on Free Republic and you will get a great many threads on this case.
This is the fist I have heard, though, on the parents being church goers.
I remember this story. It was from a few years ago, but the original poster isn't making this up. I was stunned when I heard about it. I hope they can find a link.
