Police have repeatedly said they do not consider the van Dams suspects in the girl's disappearance, which is officially considered a case of kidnapping, though they pointed out that no one has been completely ruled out.
Yet many people here "marvel" at the police ruling the VD's out at lightning speed, when, in fact, the police really said "that no one has been completely ruled out." I doubt all investigating of the VD's really ended as early as some here would have us believe. And I think the police leaks of their "swinging lifestyle" supports the view that the police continued to look at the VDs.
And now the polices statements in Danielle's case are starting to look like those in Jahi's case. What did they say yesterday about the stepfather "not being a suspect," Fresno? I questioned that statement yesterday and it appears rightly so. In light of the latest evidence that Jahi was never at the playground (surprise!) that police statement yesterday looks like understandable, intentional disinformation to put the stepfather off-guard.
