Perhaps the coolness of a Ted Bundy comes with experience. This may be a serial killer who was caught after his first victim.

For sure Red, in fact, if what appears happened to the little girl, and if DW was the perp, then maybe his "normal" side is in meltdown, thus the leaf shaker everyone saw....

As a parent and a concerned human being, I have been touched by this story and it has unfortunately gotten personal.

I hope they have the guy. The doubt in my mind is that the child could have been taken to his RV by someone else.(and subsequently molested and killed) I hope the evidence gets better, now that they have the body.

I still can't get the negligent parents off my list.

Maybe this wasn't his first victim? I have read about girls and young women being murdered in Mexico, maybe he was at work there as well. Anything is possible with someone who could commit such an act against a poor, defenseless child.

Possible. But you always have to wonder when the parents look so composed in pictures too.
