Well, I agree I don't want whoever committed this horrific crime to walk for any reason..but I would hate to see someone rushed to judgement and tried in the media...I think the gag order, having the prelim and DA primary election over will help slow things down.....

Besides the other evidence in this case, the key thing bothering me is the "Wallet" story by DW...if in fact a Park Ranger saw DW' with a wallet full of money saturday afternoon as a detective testified the ranger saw the wallet..(even including possibility of 2 wallets which many men have) it kind of blows the rest of his story as portraid below(you would think he would know they would talk to park ranger and thought up some other excuse??is this guy that stupid?..could be!):

Also DW stating he didn't see Damons Blue Van near their house when he returned home from Dads..Damon says he was home, so if the van wasn't in the garage someone is MISTAKEN

Westerfield told Keene he remembered Brenda said she had a baby sitter staying with her children that night; he didn't think Damon was at home.

Westerfield left the bar at 11 or 11:30 p.m. to go home, and when he got back to his house on Mountain Pass Road, he noticed that neither Brenda's nor Damon's vehicle was parked in their driveway. He went into his home and went to bed.

Saturday

He woke up at 6:30 or 7 a.m. Saturday, took a shower and left his house at 7:45 a.m. with plans to go to the desert. He drove to Skyridge Road in Poway where his motor home was parked, and then took it back to his house to fill its water tanks and load it with groceries. He said he realized he didn't have his wallet, and because he didn't have much money with him, he decided to go to Silver Strand State Beach because he didn't want to pay for gas to get to the desert. He overpaid by $30, and a park ranger returned the extra money.

Westerfield left the beach soon after, about 3:30 p.m., heading home briefly to look for his wallet. The neighborhood was blocked off, and a neighbor told him a little girl had been reported missing. Westerfield said he went inside the house to make sure the girl hadn't fallen into his pool or gotten inside his house.

He couldn't find his wallet at home, so he drove back to Skyridge Road to look inside his 4Runner. He eventually found his wallet and then headed for Glamis, arriving at 10 or 10:30 p.m. He drove around looking for friends who regularly spent weekends in the desert, but he couldn't find anyone he knew. He settled into a spot that turned out to be noisy and became stuck in the sand when trying to move to a quieter spot. On Sunday, he had to find someone to pull him out.

Sunday

Westerfield says he then drove to Borrego Springs and drove down a road that turned out to be too narrow. He became stuck again, and this time, he had to dig himself out. He had not had much fun in the desert, he told Keene, so at 6 p.m., he decided to return to the beach. He drove the back route to Silver Strand, passing through Warner Springs and Escondido, but arrived after the campground gates closed. He ended up spending the night in a parking lot across from the gate.

Monday morning

After a few hours of sleep, he headed back to North County about 4 or 4:30 a.m. Monday. He drove to Skyridge Road a third time, emptied out his motor home and went back to Sabre Springs, arriving about 8:30 a.m. He said he took a shower and did a load of laundry before police stopped by to talk with him.

I trust him little.. did you know he got stuck 2 times? For someone who does leaves in his rv weekly, I find that pretty odd..

And in all of that, nowhere was he near Dehesa, but he was in at least 100 better places to put a body, if one did not want it found.

Well, given the rest of the story is filled with not so bright moves (stuck in sand, down road too narrow) who knows. I fail to see the defense some are saying which is he's a smart guy, therefore if he did do it he wouldn't made this or that mistake.... what kind of justification is that? Smart people make mistakes all the damned time... witness most NASA missions in the late 90s, or Bubba's impeachment....
