The RV wasn't parked at DW's home that night. It was being stored elsewhere.

Violent death leading to an autopsy? Autopsy disclosing sexual child abuse?

Thats my theory ....covering an accident to cover his butt

[Rheo]

I asked early for verification that Ott & Keyser sat in the SUV w/DW in the 2:30 hour of 2/5:..they did...and the blue fibers were found on 2/6

1 in passenger seat, 4 on rear armrest, 7 rear seat

What were those Detectives wearing by chance?..Their prints didn't show in the SUV.

THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THE OTHER DETECTIVES WITH OUR TEAM, WHICH THEY GOT INSIDE HIS S. U. V. AND SAT WITH HIM INSIDE. I DIDN'T SPEAK WITH HIM.

Q. THAT WAS DETECTIVES OTT AND KEYSER?

A. YES.

[RnMomof7]

Any reason she couldn't have been in the motor home with one of the VD party guests?

The motor home was not stored there it was elsewhere

[hoosiermama]

Well, I guess that shoots that theory! LOL

[Richard Kimball]

Thanks for response. BTW, one other question. Am I the only one who thinks 10 days to six weeks is an awfully wide range for amount of time body had been there? I find it difficult to believe that a good forensic pathologist couldn't give a narrower window than that.

[rolling_stone]

One other thing I think the defense needs to bring up..if they can that the dehesa area was searched before and nothing found, would add to credibility of TOD...

[Rheo]

I still don't understand why DVD did not ask DW anything on that morning.....he was loading up that MH on the Broadleaf side for the hose??

I'm just now catching up, so maybe someone else has pointed this out already, but IF that poor little girl was alive until the 16th, it is mind-boggling to me that the parents weren't forthright about their activities right away.

[dread78645]

Maybe Dusek is an old Latvian verb meaning; "to step on one's peniscil ?

I'm half German (Bavaria), I can't help with the high-north language.

But I'll give credit were it's due, pyx. You called the bug testimony several threads back.

[hoosiermama]

I think it depends on the condition of the body, the flora, and insects. Most science is rough estimation or comparison with similar condition plus variables. It's the variables that make it difficult for the more narrow windows. It does seem they should get a narrower time though!

[hoosiermama]

He was loading before the VD got up ( I think)

[sbnsd]

I think with the new info about the bugs, it just created different questions. So, if Danielle was still alive until the 16th, who had her and where? If she wasn't alive, then who had her and where?

It kind of rules out Damon taking her to Dehesa in his 4-hour time frame where he was his own alibi. Oh, just too many ifs to speculate.

[fatima]

A beautiful little girl is dead ,what is a scapegoat.Why is being a scapegoat nice.

[Rheo]

Feldman has a few more points to make..that would certainly help.

[juzcuz]

I don't think that decay was at issue for the Med. Exam. If I remember correctly he said her state of decay was consistant with a body that had been out there for 2-3 weeks.

I'm thinking that the importance of plastic has to do with the "Bug Guy" who suggested that there should have been more generations of bugs there. Because there were not more bugs, it suggests that the body was wrapped in something that prevented bugs from getting to her earlier.

[Rheo]

He didn't leave the neighborhood till about 9:50 IIRC...he was loading it and filling the water tanks...guess the timing could be off.

[hoosiermama]

A "scapegot" is a slang term for someone who takes the responcibility for something that they didn't do. It is not often good.

Speaking of the VD's getting up that morning... does anyone else think it a little odd that after a night of partying and not getting to bed until 3am, Brenda woke up early and the first thing she did was take a shower? That just doesn't ring true to me.
