Well seeing her dad defend drug use in the home maked me wonder what kind of shape he may have been in that night
I’ve been offline almost totally this past week, and haven’t read most of the posts on this thread, but I’ve seen several references to the Polly Klaas case as supposed evidence to indicate that we are wrong to criticize the VDs behavior. However, in the Klaas case, the alarm was immediately raised that Polly was missing. Unfortunately, in spite of that, she was still murdered. But in her case, Polly was taken by a stranger with no ties to the neighborhood. OTOH, if an alarm had been quickly raised in Danielle’s case, the outcome could have been much different because Westerfield WAS a neighbor, a very near neighbor. If Danielle’s absence had been determined quickly, an immediate hue and cry would have been raised, and a house-to-house search and inquiry could have been conducted. Danielle’s presence could have been detected before Westerfield could spirit her away. But of course thanks to the VDs lack of vigilance, Westerfield had all the time in the world to get Danielle away from the neighborhood before her absence was even detected.
I've had people say, "you know Kim, when I was getting divorced, I took anti-depressants and sometimes xanax and sleeping pills ..I would not have heard a thing if I my kids were taken unless someone screamed"... it gave us both chills...
