NG--I don't have time to look them up, but one videotaped interview and one interview in the newspaper (two different ones) said someone had pointed him out. Val disagrees that this actually means that someone pointed him out, but I take the officers at their word. The documents filed recently about the improper interrogation indicated that the person who did the pointing out was in fact Brenda, and that she might have lied to the police when she did so.
Not true, the officer said his name came up "as someone who had recent contact"(with the victim). I pointed out that it was standard operating procedure to generate recent contact lists and interview all of them.
Police did not rush out to locate and question Mr. Westerfield, but politely waited for him to return from his trip and interview him. Then they got suspicious.
Rational logic dictates that if he had been "pointed out", the police would have put out an APB looking for a possible suspect, not wait for him to return, when a child's life was at stake.
The DW apologists are so sure the police are wrong and they are right about the evil parent's guilt, they are past being either rational or logical.
But of course it's easy to twist words and parse them. Of course Brenda "pointed him out", who else would the police get recent contact information from?
