Have there been ANY indications of this dad struggling to maintain his 'composure' throughout the ordeal??? Most men I know, would be borderline-basket cases if their kid turned up missing or presumed injured/dead.

Good observation, I have never noticed him struggling back tears....Even police who respond to these kinds of things and have to become desensitized to deal with it lose their composure when they come upon children like this. Makes you wonder.

Nope. In fact, if you look at the picture in the courtroom, you can notice he is patting her on the shoulder, while she is sobbing. Strange look on his face. Body language counts for alot.

Somehow, and lost in the story, we haven't heard much about the morning Danielle turned up missing when Damon asked a "neighbor" if he had seen Danielle, citing the child "sleepwalked".

SLEEP-WALKING is another reason a parent would check on a child if the security system flashed red, IMHO.

You are right. Look at John Walsh and his wife. She had to be sedated and he trashed his hotel room. You could see the anquish on their faces everyday.

The 'daddy' seems cool as a cucumber, doesn't he?
