Regarding your link: who do you suppose the man in the parking lot might have been, in light of what we've learned overnight?
To: FresnoDA
Oddly, there is a huge discrepancy between what Brenda said there and what Damon said on Feb. 8th, when he stated that the friends only stayed about 15 minutes. I think I referenced that in post #299, or maybe it was 298?? Anyway, I posted the quote and the link to the source.

Brenda van Dam said. "Nothing would get in between me checking on my children. So she did check on her children? What time was that? All the stories before said she didn't until a neighbor came at 9:30am.

"It would be virtually impossible to look at the door and close it without noticing whether there was someone in the bed or not. It's directly in the line of vision."Ohhh, good catch, GSG!! You are so right!

Actually, golitely, the Susan Smith Documentary was a real eye-opener. They "tricked" Susan into thinking she passed the test, saying something like "you did well". Most everyone naturally assumed she passed the test, including Susan herself. "You did well" meant they had a pretty good idea she was not being truthful.
In the end, they set her up, saying the alibi she gave couldn't have possiblly happened at the location she described, because they were conducting a drug "sting" operation going at the intersection she claims the car was hi-jacked, and asked her "if she wouldn't like to change her story". There WASN'T a sting operation, the cops were laying a calculated trap for her. It worked.
Before hand, they made her write down the events of that evening, then they made her go back and write it again. EACH time, a different version was written down. (Does this have a familiar ring to it, LOL!)

Good catch, Spectre, thanks. All this time I thought she had passed, and I think she had even said so in one of her press conferences. Amazingly good police work on that case.

"Anonymous "compliments" trump her own bar stories??????"And remember all the glowing character references Mr. Westerfield's friends provided?
To: FresnoDA
Sneakypete has been banned! I think that's terrible. I don't agree with that poster on some things ---but it's terrible if he got banned over these kinds of threads! I think it's okay to speculate on what might have happened but it's good to get an opposing view to that.

I was surprised when I saw the Documentary. Cops aren't as naive as some think they are...most have an "instinct" for things that don't pass the smell test. And if a person doesn't tell the truth or starts changing their story, it sends up red flags. But then, WE know that, LOL!

She said herself that they were in dad's hands when she got home,and that she trusted him--she didn't think she needed to. (I've heard a lot of parents agree with that).
If she's as bad as some would like to be, then she didn't care about her child anyway. BUT..if she did trust her husband and if she does love her children, God help her. She'll have to live with the fact that the last time she saw her beautiful baby alive was when she left to celebrate her friend's move at the restaurant/bar. :(
To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
We've been pointing out the inconsistencies all along. Where were you?
To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
Yes ---she might change her stories somewhat because she's a flake instead of guilty ---I can't tell. Anyhow not everyone checks on their kids at 3am and there are still places in the country where people don't lock their doors at night. Mine aren't always locked and in the summer the windows are open at night.

Yes, I do. Fasten your seat-belt for tomorrow. Feldman is going to show us how he gained his reputation for an attack dog no one wants to go up against. No holds barred...and if the van Dams were doing anything makes them culpable that evening, we are going to know, FOR SURE...grins...

A NOTE OF THANKS
For almost a month now, I have continually asked you to do whatever you could to help find Danielle Van Dam. As you know, her body was found on Wednesday, February 26, 2002.
I would like to thank all of you who donated your time, energy and resources to search for Danielle, and the dedicated staff and volunteers coordinating the search at the Laura Recovery Center
High praise goes to the San Diego Police Department for their unrelenting investigation of Danielles disappearance and her abductor. While their thoroughness and professionalism do not surprise me, they have proven again, in the most meaningful manner, their commitment to San Diegans and law enforcement.
To the Van Dam family, I send my sincerest condolences. Although I have expressed concerns about aspects of this tragedy, losing a child brings a pain and anguish no parent should ever suffer.
Sincerely,
Rick Roberts

Opps, "anything THAT makes them culpable"...

Which is more important, searching for the truth, or hanging the parents with hate, gossip and gasp lies? As a Christian I know there are people who live for that kind of lifestyle. It reminds me of harper valley PTA. A group of people are so much better than everyone else. They have the ''wisdom, knowledge and astuteness'' to judge others....yet when ya people the public layers of BS off their smarmy faces, they are nothing but hypocrites. :)
To: FITZ
people = peel as in peel the layers.. (LOL)
To: FresnoDA
LOL His sincere condelences?? That's a good one. I expected to read, "and to the Van Dam's, I sincerely hope you change your lifestyle for the sake of your other children".. SHEESH
To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
Hypocrites?
You could offer a billion dollars, and never come up with one person who would even THINK I have ever been unfaithful to my husband. And if someone tryed to lie, there would be a line from here to the moon laughing them off this planet.
Character counts, morals matter...
