Remember how most everyone was certain the child had been dumped and buried in the desert sand? Remember how there were whispers she would "never be found"? Remember how the odds were David Westerfield most certainly hid her body so well in the desert, she would probably never be found?
Fast forward to a long-shot search by the side of the road, which came up empty the first time, then BINGO, we have a body the second time.
{Go back and look till you find her!}
It isn't out of the question to ask if someone knew exactly where to look...not at all.

Why would DW sneak into an occupied home (with dog and alarm system) instead of just enticing her to go with him as she played in the neighborhood?
Why would he dump her body (face up, uncovered) where it would surely be found, instead of burying her in the desert where she would be less likely to be found.
Why would DVD withhold information from the police responding to the 911 call. Per the transcripts, it took him 3 to 4 interviews to admit the marijuana use AND the fact that Barb came UPSTAIRS to lie in bed with him.
Why did DVD shave his face prior to the prelim. hearing.
Why did BVD go out to the car and pull it up to the front door of Dad's to pick up her friends to leave? How long did it take her to get the car? Was she alone when she went to get the car? Did she make any cell phone calls when she went to get the car? Did she see DW on the parking lot as she went to the car?
Why would DW keep anything that had even the most remote possibility of having Danielle's DNA on it. I think he could afford new sheets, jacket, etc.
JMO, but this case stinks to high heaven and I think DAMON is the culprit (and maybe BVD doesn't even know it).
So the defense needs to get some of the origianl searchers of that area on the stand to say they looked but did not see it there in plain sight..
