Does this help?
Danielle's distraught parents, Damon and Brenda van Dam (pictured, left), appeared briefly outside the home Monday and read a statement. "Our hearts are aching for this very special girl," Damon van Dam said. The couple displayed a set of pale blue pajamas with colored flowers like those worn by Danielle when she disappeared.

She also had a direct message for her missing child, in case she might wind up seeing a broadcast of the news conference: "I would hope that if she sees me, she knows we are all waiting for her at home," she said. "Please ask this person to just let you go. We love you. We want you back."

"I did not check on her because I had asked her father how the night went, if everything went OK, and so I did not look in on her," she said. The van Dams also spoke of putting their version of the weekend's events to a lie-detector test at authorities' request. "We took one (polygraph exam)," Brenda van Dam said. "We voluntarily took one, and we both passed."

"This stuff is nothing but tea leaf reading, not evidence of anything."

O.J. cutting his fingers and "not remembering" how he did it, is in itself nothing. Until you find out this mysterious bleeding by "coincidence" happened around the same time his ex-wife and friend were murdered with a knife does it become "something" significant.

Same goes with DW (or anyone else) going on a frantic cleaning spree and bizarre zig zag California journey, it is in itself nothing. Until you find out this happens around the same time your neighbor kid goes missing...Then it becomes something that definately needs to be looked into. And after looking into it and finding the DNA and fingerprints fit....Well.

I think we are going to see a string of defense witnesses that say DW two big pleasures in life are cleaning and driving his motorhome aimlessly.

OJ didn't cut himself for fun. I believe the evidence against OJ was better than that against DW and OJ walked, remember.

The State has a heavy obligation and so far they haven't lived up to it. Irrational cleaning and excessive motorhome driving are not proof of murder.

Now, if they can show he was near El Cajon Sunday night, that would really help make the case.

The parents were overly cooperative. Mo Parga stated so under oath and Feldman asked her about it.

Um, your claim of child porn was Dusek's opening statement. Why don't you wait for real under oath testimony?

There is a huge difference between LOCKING YOUR CHILDREN OUT and watching porn on the computer. Do you EVEN know the difference or is it just a convenience.

Amazing how when people suggest that Danielle could have been in the RV prior to 2/1 other rant and rave and scream about it. Yet these are the same people who are willing to overlook such a minor thing as a SPENT SUPER X SHELL CASING, with hollow excuses such as it must have belonged to one of the kids.

And they say we reach.

Hey Kim,

Did we ever find out why there was a second "girls night out"?

I thought they went out the first time because BVD didn't think that she could go the second weekend.

So, even if she ended up being able to go the second weekend, why go? They had already given their "good-byes" to Denise.

OH I'm willing to wait. The opening child porn pic, was confirmed by other reporters according to listeners on another forum...well, that was proof..but hey, how long did some people wait to get the stranger in the house theory confirmed? Will it be confirmed?

It's child porn jaded. I'm not referring to adult porn or ''regular'' porn. Rape animinations and probably pics too. Pics of kids that could be dead now or in prostitution because puberty set in.

Unfortunately, parents are not on trial for the stupid lock. There has been no testimony that Danielle was taken during the night cuz that door was locked. Yes, it's weird. Yes it's an immature, grossly moronic thing to do...but did it cause their daughter's death?

DEMS WROTEThe parents were overly cooperative.
what parents of missing and murdered kids are NOT overly cooperative? Would you be?

Dems, the second night was "the going away party"...I simply can't understand all the complaining cuz the mom went to a going away party..in a public place, in a cafe during the day, bar at night that met society's standards for a business. Are we to now limit and control the freedom mom's have on friday nights? Are we to now run babysitter's out of business? (ok, this is in general terms..we're not talking joints..BUT..are joints worse than child porn? I think not)

if this can be disproven by the defense, or another neighbor, that would be a strike against the detectives/cops..

Disprove WHAT? I read this post 4-5 times and I can't understand what you're trying to say.

It sounds like more of your ranting. Has anyone accused you of being Westerfield's ex-wife?
