Ref your #434: I'm not interested in the bizarre things going on the VD family. I just can't figure out how DW did it, given the timeline (see my post #445), and no trace nor any scent of him found in the VD house or at Dehesa. It's an intriguing puzzle. I also don't buy into the consiracy theories -- If not DW, it could, for instance, have been the same guy who grabbed that little 7-year-old girl from her bedroom in Grand Terrace in early March (that little girl escaped, thank Heaven!). If DW did it, it's a very bizarre crime which doesn't fit any usual pattern.
What I am begining to understand by some people post here however is how murders, rapists and other predators get to walk in this country.
If DW is guilty, I sure don't want him to walk and I don't think anyone else does. But turn it around -- have there not been many people recently released from prison whose innocence was proven by new DNA tests? Yet they were found guilty and spent years in prison. So now I am beginning to understand how all those innocent people were sitting in prison while the real murderers and rapists were free to continue murdering and raping.
I'm not certain whether DW is guilty or innocent. If they come up with evidence showing he was in the VD house or at Dehesa, then I'll be convinced. And if his DNA is found under the girl's fingernails, it's a lock. Guilty.
Unlike those innocents released by DNA evidence, it is DNA that is the strongest against this guy. Girls Blood both in his camper and on his Jacket. Scratches on his arms when he returns from weekend camping trip... etc etc. too many coincidences.. My biggest issue is not that maybe this guy didn't do it... which I believe the evidence is overwhelmingly pointing to.. .but the sheer lunacy of the "alternatives" some here are putting forward. Their parents did it, or covered it up, or their guests did it etc etc... its like watching a Clinton spinmeister on full alert! Some people here are just so hung up on the sex lives on the parents that they ignore the evidence right in front of there faces.
