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

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.

So true, good catch...

St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Rancho Penasquitos, where the van Dams are members

Now this is kind of new and interesting.  Members means, not just an attendee, but immersed tithing church member.  Does that mean that after a wild weekend of partying, they scrub up, wake up and head to Sunday morning Church????  WOW!!!  I would be afraid of pllars of fire, or ligntening......guess things are a bit more strict in Assembly of God!!!

Episcopal Beliefs

Anglican Churches uphold and proclaim the Catholic and Apostolic faith, based on the Scriptures, interpreted in the light of tradition, scholarship and reason. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Churches are committed to the proclamation of the Good News of the Gospel to the whole creation. Faith, order and practice have found expression in the Book of Common Prayer, Ordinals of he 16th and 17th centuries, and most succinctly in the 'Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral' which was first approved by the Lambeth Conference of 1888. This document affirms as the essential elements of faith and order in the quest for Christian unity:

1. The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as the revealed Word of God;
2. The Nicene Creed or the Apostles' Creed as the sufficient statement of the Christian Faith;
3. The two sacraments - Baptism and the Eucharist - ministered with the unfailing words and elements used by Christ;
4. The historic Episcopate.

Central to worship for Anglicans is the celebration of the Holy Eucharist (also called the Holy Communion, the Lord's Supper, the Mass). In this offering of prayer and praise are recalled the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Christ, through the proclamation of the word and celebration of the Sacrament. Worship is at the heart of Anlgicanism. Its styles vary from simple to elaborate, from Evangelical to Catholic, as well as from Charismatic to Traditional.

The Book of Common Prayer, in its various revisions throughout the Communion gives expression to the comprehensiveness found within the Church whose principles reflect, since the time of Elizabeth I, a via media in relation to other Christian traditions.

Baptism, with water in the name of the Trinity, unites one with Christ and the Church. Other rites include Confirmation, Holy Orders, Reconciliation, Marriage, and Anointing of the Sick.

Maybe this wasn't his first victim?

Right after this body was found, Fox reported that the police were investigating another child disappearance that occurred decades ago just a little ways from where the VD's lived. Yet, I have not heard any more about this. Has anyone else?

**Maybe this wasn't his first victim? **

He has a grown daughter (about 20 years old). Maybe she can shed some light as well...
