1. This Westerfield, who lives near the VD's but had never seen them or met them until the week or so before, when Danielle and her mother sold him Girl Scout cookies-- I maintain he is guilty of nothing but being an unattached male in the neighborhood. Police have practically disassembled his vehicle and home, and have not made any arrests or charges and it doesn't look like they are going to. If he had possessed kiddie porn, it would have taken very little to arrest him. He is considerably older than the VD's and has grown children.
Mrs. VD knows who has the child, and why. She may even know where the child is.
This child was ADMITTEDLY left alone for some 13 hours without being checked on, while who knows what or who was in the house, and doing what. Apparently the house was completely unlocked, and it was only when another little girl arrived to play with Danielle, and walked in and went up to Danielle's room, and found no one there...that anything was even known to be wrong!...
Even once the child was known missing, it seems hours went by as the VD's tried to clean up evidence of drug use and other wrong doing, and it now seems they have hired a PR firm and are even now more interested in their own image than in the fate of Danielle.
I think one of the things that's bothered me from the first is that the part of the house where the children were was unlocked, but the part of the house (the garage) where the adults were doing whatever it was they were doing was locked. What kind of parents ensure their own protection, but ignore the safety of their children?
