SABRE SPRINGS ---- An optimistic Damon van Dam spent more than eight hours Saturday meticulously searching barren desert dunes and posting fliers at small businesses throughout east San Diego and Imperial counties in the hope of finding his missing 7-year-old daughter.

A search team from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department will look for Danielle van Dam in an area of Poway today.

On Saturday, shortly after dawn and well into the twilight hours, Damon van Dam and a high school friend drove a blue van across large sections of sun-dappled desert in areas such as Glamis, Ocotillo, Borrego Springs and Brawley. They handed out scores of fliers seeking help in finding Danielle, a Creekside Elementary second-grader who police say was last seen by her father Feb. 1 when he tucked her into bed at the family's home on Mountain Pass Road.

Interesting..when did that van disappear?

Were the unidentified prints ever checked against that friend?

That high school buddy (from Florida!?) needs to be grilled.

Well, I've thought since the prelim Damon is the guilty one in this and it keeps looking that way as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for pulling that out of the archives & posting it.

SO, a hasty trip to the desert Friday night to bury the body somewhere out in the DRY DESERT, where it would MUMMIFY.

Then After police were directed or had latched onto DW, and he knew he was safe, out to the desert to pickup the body, then drop it off at DEHESA RD. on the way home.

Next step, get rid of the van so as not to have any evidence, just in case.
