The neighborhood may be good, but I think with small children around, it wasn't THAT good...read item #3 below....you may change you opinion..

Danielle's Parents React To Neighbor's Arraignment

Danielle was first reported missing Feb. 2. Her father, Damon van Dam, told authorities that the last he'd seen of his daughter was when he had put her to bed after 10 p.m. the night before.

On that night, Brenda van Dam had gone out with several female friends and came home around 2:30 a.m. She then stayed up for about an hour with her husband and friends, according to 10News.

She said she made sure the childrens' bedroom doors were closed to keep from disturbing them, but didn't check on the children. Danielle has two brothers.

Westerfield previously told reporters that he saw Brenda van Dam at a bar near their home the night before Danielle was reported missing. The design engineer told 10News that he danced with his neighbor; she later denied that story.

Since then, the case has drawn national media attention and drawn hundreds of people, including a group of Miramar Marines, into searches of the desert and various rural areas in San Diego County.

A hearing to unseal search warrants in the case is scheduled for Wednesday.

Several posts over the past few days have mentioned the peculiar knowledge that Westerfield had of the van Dam's comings and goings.  The inference being that Brenda and David Westerfield may be more than the casual acquaintance she has told the general public.  This may come out to be a love triangle, or paragon, or octagon, or who knows??

Carmen Genovese 02/26/02 15:43
Carmen has known David Westerfield, the accused kidnapper and killer of Danielle van Dam, for over 20 years. He claims that rather than being a brutal psychopathic murderous pedophile, David’s actually a sweet puppy dog (accused of being a brutal psychopathic murderous pedophile).

One of the only character witnesses for Westerfield........Interesting.

Just listened to the Carmen Genovese interview (Post #137).  He said that there are big rumors swirling around the entire neighborhood in Sabre Springs, with regards to "alternative lifestyles".  Weird....

Genovese claims that Westerfield was home around 10:30 P.M.  He woke the next morning, and loaded up his Motorhome.  He left his house for the desert around 9:45 A.M.  He said that Westerfield is a clean freak, and that he always cleaned the Motorhome like he did when he returned.  He had no comment about the DNA and Blood evidence however....

He does imply that Westerfield was framed.  Guy sounds fairly credible, but hard to tell.  Need more Freeps to listen and post their spin on the interview.

Genovese denies that Westerfield is a member of Mensa!  Fascinating interview, especially in light of today's tragic events.  Does San Diego Law Enforcement have the right guy?  I want to read that diary......

Ted Bundy was a sweet character too who even worked the suicide hotlines with Ann Rule.
