They specificaly asked ME if it she could have been alive and went day by day, 2/2 2/3 etc till I believe 2/11...(could be wrong)and made the point she could have been alive then..

No questions that I recall about whether body had been moved...definately questioned his non-determination of time of death..did talk about rigor mortis and that body was rigid in that position...IMO no evidence that body was or was not moved from elswhere..the hands foot and head were seperately bagged before being moved to preserve any possible trace evidence...

Great Find!! No wonder the police suspected him..awol (which we need to know more about), sweating, scratches...

1. No way did he get scratched up digging his motorhome out of sand. It may be a cover up story though.

2. INvestigators do make messes..we'll have to wait. That one is stupid..BUT if he didn't throw the dirt away, not really a problem..cept the location of the evidence is screwed up.

3. The drag marks at residence..to prevent blood stains on clothes? Did they say that the drag marks were of a body? How do we know he didn't wrap her in a sheet and then drag her?

4. I doubt drugs..the blood would have indicated that. I want to know a lot..but especially what evidence they found in her room!

I think they're all about the same. did you see this one?

Why don't you go ahead and give that story its own thread? If you don't know how, I can do it for ya..

A pink ribbon, calling attention to missing 7-year-old Danielle van Dam, flutters in the breeze outside the home of neighbor and suspect in the disappearance, David Westerfield, Monday, Feb. 25, 2002, in San Diego. Westerfield, 50, was arrested Friday on suspicion of kidnapping and was jailed without bail. Authorities said they found traces of Danielle's blood in Westerfield's motor home and on a piece of his clothing. (AP Photo/Jack Smith)
