"I find this purchase astonishing. If the VDs have split, where is she supposed to get the money to pay for the mortgage (and the real expense--property taxes) on this house, especially since she doesn't work? I can't imagine it'd be completely paid off. Now, I KNOW for a fact that DvD couldn't possibly pull in that kind of money at QCOM."

Someone might have already mentioned this downthread--I'm just now logging on and starting to read.

I would hazard a guess that the money is coming from a book and/or "movie of the week" deal. Back when they were holding fund-raisers news conferences pleading for their daughter's return, Brenda was heard asking someone about who would be the best person to represent them in such a deal. This would have been before the time they found Danielle.

I'm sure they found the public donations helpful, but I don't think those would pay for the BMW and the house--even with the insurance money tossed in, unless she was insured for far, far more than we imagine.

Good thought..a made for TV movie..sex sells so my guess is it will include lots of exposure for Brenda on the "BOOB tube"
