Unfortunately words posted on the forum don't always have the same tone when read, as when written. I wasn't angry with you. I was simply attempting to debate some points with you. I'm sorry if I came on too strong. I think there are valid arguements to be made that the VanDams having lost a child and now having to suffer in court too. I'm quite uncomfortable with the dark side of the VanDams and how that played into this. Thanks for the comments.

VAN DAM'S FRIEND Barbara Easton SPEAKS OUT

(03-19-2002) -
Barbara Easton probably never thought her social life would be so publicly aired, but several times during Brenda and Damon van Dam's testimony in the David Westerfield preliminary hearing, her activities the night Danielle van Dam vanished were revealed by her friends.

Brenda van Dam testified she smoked pot with her and Damon van Dam said she crawled into bed with him.

"Barbara layed next to me. I rolled over, put my arm around her, kissed her, rubbed her back some," said Damon van Dam.

Easton, 46, is a friend of Brenda and Damon van Dam's, who met Drenda at Dad's Steakhouse and Cafe in Poway about a year ago, according to Brenda.

Easton is a licensed salesperson in the mortgage brokerage field, who was with Brenda van Dam the night Danielle van Dam was last seen alive.

According to Brenda van Dam's testimony, Easton and Denise Kemel, another friend of Brenda's, consumed alcohol and smoked pot inside the Van Dam's garage before heading to the local bar for a girls night out.

Under cross examination, Brenda van Dam was asked about sexually suggestive dancing moves allegedly performed on her by Easton on the dance floor at Dad's.

"She did not touch me. I don't know how to explain it. She didn't physically touch me. She was maybe dancing with her hands like this, but she didn't touch me," says Brenda van Dam.

Easton told LOCAL 8 news by phone that the Van Dam's are the victims here and that she fully stands behind them. She would not give any specifics of the case because she says she is under a court imposed gag order.

Although Easton never took the stand in the Westerfield case, her interview with a San Diego Police Detective is part of the court documents introduced at the preliminary hearing.

As far as Westerfield's case is concerned, Easton says that it's too bad he didn't have to take the stand.
