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. "

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
