Expert: Body dumped after defendant fell under suspicion (SO WHO DUMPED DANIELLE VAN DAM'S BODY??)

Union Trib ^ | July 11, 2002 | Steve Perez/Greg Magnus

[Rheo]

That taped interview played for the jury was a snippet..not the whole 22 hours of interrogation.

He also tried to tell them he saw a woman that morning and was completely cutoff from responding.

Why and what has closed your mind to anything other than this man is guilty??

[EllaMinnow]

No one has denied that they were in his house. "Snow White" is in my film library, even though it's my daughter's.

[longjack]

OK, I hear you.

Another situation where the 'regular' idiosyncracies and ticks of human behavior is dissected and excerpted to the degree that it becomes highly suspicious.

Thanks for the 'takes'.

[Henrietta]

The defense has filed a motion, for use on appeal, which profers an alternate defense: intoxication.

I don't think so. Voluntary intoxication is not a defense to intentional murder.

[cyncooper]

I don't believe DW gave an explanation. Do know of one?

I don't spend alot of time speculating. The fact of the evidence shows she was in the MH and his MB.

Regarding the one drop of blood-----don't forget the jacket. That's two!

I am not obliged to explain how he did it. I'm not on the jury to have to frame my opinion within a framework of "reasonable doubt", but I think the prosecution has met its burden.

[the Deejay]

Post 525. ROTFLMRO!!!! I do think you're right and/or this is only the second trial they've ever seen!!

[Illbay]

I have never watched a second of Court TV. That can only mean one thing: They are plagiarizing my posts on FR!

Please send me Court's address. My attorney will need it.

[cyncooper]

GAWD!! I am so sick & tired of people bringing up the O.J. trial throughout this one!! There are NO comparisons to be made! NONE!

There are TONS! Starting with "the son".

[pyx]

Boy, that would surely be a gutless and not very admirable response to a child who needed help.

Let me guess, English isn't your first language, is it. I did NOT say I would deny help if asked. I did not even say I would deny offering help. All I said was I am at the point were I said I am pretty convinced I would have SECOND THOUGHTS about offering help. Try learning to read.

[UCANSEE2]

You did well on the Questions and answers. Seems so easy now, doesn't it.

Well, if , as testimony indicates, Danielle's body was dumped off at the Dehesa Rd. site on or after Feb 16th,2002, how did DW take his MH there and dump her?

[Henrietta]

I can't really weigh in on the VD's guilt or innocence. It does, however, seem very unusual that they ripped up thier carpet, cleaned the carpet in the master bedroom, got rid of the van, and repainted the interior of the house all in a very short period of time after the disappearance of their daughter. Their behavior was and is disturbing, but I don't really know anything that would cause me to point the finger at them. Folks have made some interesting points in discussing the possibility, though, and it has been entertaining and enlightening to speculate.

[cyncooper]

Did you hear that OJ's latest venture is a porno flick?

I heard that. Disgusting, isn't it.

[the Deejay]

Scenario:

If my husband brings something into the house (such as porn) and down the road, I get investigated, my home searched, and I had no idea the porn was in my home, does that make "ME" automatically "GUILTY" of whatever I'd be charged with?

[John Jamieson]

Sounds good to me!

They drove in from Florida several years ago...

Passed through Poway up the hill or so...

Settled on a place called Sabre Springs.......

Newer fancy houses.....

Manicured lawns 

And families with swings......

VERSE 2

They eyeballed the neighborhood a glint in their eyes....

This place would work, maybe better this time...

Plenty of girls, and a few more boys......

Couple with low morals.......

Looking for more fun...

In the neighborhood.....

CHORUS

Swingers, sluts and creeps....

Absolute White Trash...

Looking for trouble...

Swingers, sluts and creeps....

They have no morals.....

Swingers with children 

A total of three.....

VERSE 4

Years went by their popularity grew....

Made some close friends within society too...

Many would come, and enjoy the spoils.....

In their strange garage.....

Never parked cars....

With backward doors....

VERSE 5

Evil things were happening...in their upstairs...

Kids no longer safe, couldn't find a dad...

One in particular...was in jeopardy....

She kept a journal....

Documented things most would never believe....

CHORUS

Swingers, sluts and creeps....

Absolute White Trash.

Looking for trouble...

Swingers, sluts and creeps....

They have no morals.....

Swingers with children 

A total of three.....

Finally the safety of the middle one....

Ended perhaps at the barrel of a gun...

Only one shell was left behind....

Cleaning up the bedroom.....

Vacuuming, cleaning, even shampoo....

VERSE 7

Called for the help of a local Police friend...

A lady cop was willing to cover their sin....

Sprinkled her with fibers and with misery.....

Covered all the bases....

Friends in high places would dot I's and cross T's....

VERSE 9

But little did they know....

How nature settles the score...

Slimy creepy crawlers were found in the gore.....

Insect gurgitations.....leaving clues behind....

Screwing up the time frame.....

Raising many questions can't be 'splained away....

CHORUS

Swingers, sluts and creeps....

Absolute White Trash.

Looking for trouble...

Swingers, sluts and creeps....

FIRECRACKER ALERT,IGNORE SWITCH ON.

[Henrietta]

The fact of the evidence shows she was in the MH and his MB.

Yes, the physical evidence does show that, at some point, she was in the MH. (the blood). Fiber evidence and the defendant's own testimony indicate that she was in the house at some point. However (and here's what you don't seem to "get") she was not in either place during the time period at issue, based on the lack of "hits" from the search dogs. If she wasn't in the MH or in the house or in the SUV, how do you think DW got her body and dumped it out on Dehesa Rd?

Please explain; enquiring minds want to know!

[oremus]

He didn't give an explanation but he said he didn't do it. How could he know whether or not Danielle wandered into the motor home or not at some time??? How can you be 100% sure she didn't???

The "blood" on the jacket - well we've already discussed that, and they said it *might* be blood. It could be drool, too. And again, she was in his home and the jacket could have been draped on a chair...

Explain to me how he could drive a dead body around in the MH and the dogs didn't get the least bit excited?

[Mrs.Liberty]

Yes, Dehesa is part of East San Diego County, reachable off of I-8.
