Just did not want to lay it all out.

[Greg Weston]

Do you have any credible documentation to back up this "reality"??

That's what I thought.

[Greg Weston]

Some people love to take everything seriously they read in a british tabloid. Too bad.

[Valpal1]

All stories leading up to that point are his and his alone. If he's proven to have lied about other things, all bets are off.

Except, of course, that he took and passed SDPD administered lie detector test, which SDPD says he passed. Do you think they forgot to test him on his version of the evenings events?

I posted earlier that SDPD says they also specifically asked the parents and DW if they knew were Danielle was, did they kidnap her or kill her. DW is the only one of the 3 that SDPD says failed the test.

Those are the real verifiable facts in the case.

[Cold Heat]

In Britain, tabloid only refers to the size of the paper, not the content as it does here.

I guess the only way to total protect your child from this sort of thing is never let the kid leave your property ever. You never leave your property for any reason as well. Never talk to anyone, never become acquainted with anyone, have no contact with anyone whatsoever. Don't even say hi to the mailman.

You think so?

[Greg Weston]

Well I occasionally look at some of these British tabloids whatever online. They seem alot like the Enquirer, Star etc to me.

Those are the real verifiable facts in the case

Please verify. I have heard this but never on the news or in print. Is there a direct quote from LE? Who conducted these tests; when and where? Who reported the results?

[Cold Heat]

I took one of those things once. The specialist said that there is no pass or fail. Only a measured degree of deception. That is why the courts don't take them and the investigators are unlikely to say if someone was a little bit or somewhat deceptive. Besides, I think Westerfield did in fact dump the body. He just did not kill the kid.

BTW, this British newspaper's headline is "Neighbor killed missing girl, 7"

Looks like the Aussies don't like to bother with small details such as a actually waiting for the trial to announce a veredict.

[Cold Heat]

Do they have Martian love triangles?

I guess the only way to total protect your child from this sort of thing is never let the kid leave your property ever.... Don't even say hi to the mailman.

Maybe just don't have sex with the mailman.

[Greg Weston]

I doubt it. They are a step up from the Weekley World News and the National Exaxminer I would say. The editor of the National Enquirer, Mike Walker gets upset when they mention his publication in the same breath as the ones with "2 headed baby kills parents" and "Evil microwave oven possessed by the devil".

[Valpal1]

FresnoDA posted the full article in post #167. I have highligted some of it in #267.

[Greg Weston]

Yeah that might not be the smartest thing to do, but tell me has there been an increase of swingers getting there kids kidnapped and killed by whoever? Maybe you can give us a few examples of this situation.

[Cold Heat]

I don't read any of them. I hate Brit politics. Don't like kings and queens. This story should play well there. Brits like stuff like this.(I guess, so do we!)

[Valpal1]

I have a wacko theory

DW kidnapped and raped her but did not kill and dump her.

He sold her to a porno ring in Mexico.

Porno ring kills Danielle and places body where it is found to frame DW in hopes the investigators will stop pursuing the porno/sex tourism angle.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

It may very well be true, but why is there not a name attached to the information. Usually such things are identified by a police spokesperson and a quite is cited.

Isn't it unusual for LE to speak about such things since the potential jury is listening? I find this odd.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

quite = quote
