Damon van Dam told reporters Wednesday that his family's ordeal "could happen to anyone."
"We were just like everyone else out there watching this now," he said. "We were the exact same people you are. ...This is an awful, awful thing, and just everyone else needs to know that this can happen to you."
"I think everyone takes it for granted, their security," added his wife, Brenda. "I mean, you're in your home, you're in a safe neighborhood -- you feel safe."
I think the hard drug connection is coming....designer drugs and cocain. Feldman knows. It takes a lot of drugs to keep up that kind of sexual activity in your 40-50's.
Additional Quirks: Danielle was last seen wearing blue flowered pajamas with flowers Her favorite colors are pink and purple Danielle belongs to her local Brownie troop Family friends have set up a website at: http://daniellemissing.tripod.com San Diego police are scouring the Sabre Springs area for 7-year-old Danielle van Dam. Police say Danielle's parents, Damon and Brenda van Dam, reported her missing when they discovered Danielle was not in her room at about 9 a.m. Saturday, February 2, 2002. Damon told police he put Danielle and her two brothers to bed at around 10:30 Friday night while Brenda was out celebrating with friends until about 2 a.m. Saturday, a send-off for a woman who was leaving the area, detectives said. When Brenda arrived home with four friends at about 2 am, police say they ate pizza with Damon and talked for about an hour. Shortly after the friends left, police say Damon and Brenda told them they noticed lights blinking on their burglar alarm panel andfound a sliding glass door and a side garage door open. Police say the alarm was not set , but the panel is a type that indicates when doors and windows are opened and shut at all times. The couple told police they closed the doors and went to bed, and did not check on the children . Saturday morning, police say the couple told them a friend stopped by at about 9 am to see if Danielle could come out and play. Damon and Brenda told police that they thought Danielle was still sleeping and that Brenda went to wake Danielle. That is when police say the couple discovered Danielle was missing from her room and called 9-1-1. Police began investigating immediately, using helicopters, horses and dogs to search the area canyons for Danielle, a second-grader at Creekside Elementary School in Sabre Springs. Officers also conducted door-to-door searches and provided the Border Patrol and Customs Service with photos of Danielle to keep watch for her at the border. Detectives additionally interviewed family members, neighbors, schoolmates and friends about the disappearance, hoping to develop leads, but had no luck. Danielle was last seen wearing blue pajamas with flowers. She is white, 4 feet tall and weighs about 58 pounds. She has blue eyes and blond hair. Police say at this point the parents are not considered suspects and have been extremely cooperative with investigators. Police are considering one of the van Dam's neighbors to be the prime suspect. Police have searched his home and impounded his vehicles. At the time of this writing, an arrest has not been made. |
But Brenda told the 911 operator she had GREEN eyes. What mother doesn't know the color of her children's eyes???
Why didn't DVD glare at Westerfield? Was Brenda told to glare in order to make up for Damon not glaring during the pre4vious day's testimony? Or, does Damon know something that even Brenda may not know?
This story sounds more like a typical grieving father.....
VD disgust meter off the scope....

SALT LAKE CITY The father of Utah kidnap victim Elizabeth Smart is hospitalized after collapsing of exhaustion. Meanwhile the search for his daughter is now focused on a Canyon about eight miles from the family home. The mere report of a man acting suspiciously was enough for authorities searching for 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart to block off a heavily wooded canyon and search through the night. |

In addition, it's because of the sleazy sex life of the parents. There must be other 7 year old girls being abducted in the US. This case has everyone riveted because the parents are partly to blame. Perhaps they didn't do it (of that I'm not completely sure, though) but they let horny strangers in their home house. I'm seeing this more and more as the trial continues.
We haven't even begun to be horrified!
Interesting question. I thought I heard Damon say that he was 36 and married 15 years. If true, he would have been 21 and she would have been 24. Hmmmm, kind of young for a guy.
Where and specifically how did they meet?
And then, at the end, she says she has to call the neighbor to come and get her kids because they're upset.
Which is it, Brenda? Did you already call, or do you need to call?
And the kids heard in the background don't sound upset at all.
