I missed this part..
"A longtime friend of David Westerfield took the stand at his capital murder trial and tried to paint the accused killer's alibi — a meandering desert odyssey in a recreational vehicle — as a normal weekend outing. But under a grueling cross-examination, Dave Laspisa grudgingly acknowledged that some of Westerfield's account of the days after Danielle van Dam vanished was puzzling. Laspisa said he never knew Westerfield to spend just 12 hours in the desert, nor to arrive without his all-terrain vehicles as he had the weekend after 7-year-old Danielle was abducted. "

the clincher for my re-consideration is it is POSSIBLE that DAW wore an ORANGE HAZMAT suit on February 1, 2002.

That clinches it for me. Orange fibers and insecticide.

The defense was hoping to show that the body was dumped during a time when Westerfield was under surveillance.

The expert, David Faulkner, says insects infested Danielle's body about 10 to 12 days before it was discovered. But the prosecution pointed out problems with the timeline, saying it's possible Danielle's body was covered.

"If the victim was dead longer and something was used to exclude entry by insects, it could have been there longer. I can't rule that out," said Faulkner.


FresnoDA - this bears repeating.
I'm gonna start donating some money to the National Geographic Society, man. David Alan Westerfield MUST be a member and must have an "in" on their new species discoveries notifications.

I say this because there must be a newly discovered animal that lives only in the San Diego area. Its a carnivorous scavenger that also eats and/or builds its nest with PLASTIC.

All this time, we've been pouring over court testimony and evidence exhibits was wasted. I think this genius reporter has solved the case, man !

David Alan Westerfield SHRINK WRAPPED Danielle Van Dam !

Think about it !

A large carnivorous scavenger that eats and/or builds its nest with PLASTIC would fit right in with the Plastic Sheet Theory and would also fit in with the HAZMAT DAVE Theory. Now, we all know those theories are simple derivitive theories consistent with the Universal Stealth Ninja Dave Theory.

FresnoDA, FREEPERS are resourceful people ! All we need to do now is find that big @$$ed PLASTI-WRAP machine Westerfield is hiding !

I must admit to not hearing every second of the testimony - but I don't recall either of the Laspisas using the word puzzling. Of course DW never spent just 12 hrs. in the desert with Dave - this was when he had not found his friends - not when he had. I thought it was Debbie who said under cross that DW had not met them out there before without his toys. His ex, however, did say they had been to Glamis without the toys - that must have been a time when they did not see the Laspisas

Some of the posters on these threads have demonstrated a profound truth: technology changes, people don't. The foul, vengeful, irresponsible attitudes and emotional excresences that led to lynch mobs still sprout...

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but if you go back and listen to the 911 tape, you'll hear that BVD gave the impression of high panic, even though she told dispatcher that they had not yet searched the neighborhood. With several "oh my god's" added in for good measure. Listen to it again and you'll hear how completely scripted it sounds.

Brenda made statements that were embellished by LE in order to obtain the warrants. Wonder how Brenda knew?
