Yes, lots of changing stories. But if I dare to call them lies, someone always howls, so I'll just say they really change their stories a lot. The VDs have a lot of supporters here--not just for their (alleged) grief, but also their lifestyle.

I think too many changing stories is more than a sign of confusion or forgetfulness (something we are all guilty of at some time or another [the forgetfulness, I mean], especially given the emotionally charged circumstances here. In the instance case, however, I would allign there type of memory to the Clintons, proven liars. Sorry, I call it as I see it.

As far as their lifestyle......well, I have lots of thoughts I could share. Let's just say, you teach your kids to stay away from druggies and potheads. Why? Cause they'd be either more prone to doing it themselves or get involved with people who do that and a host of other worse things. 'Tis why many parents look to whom their children pal around with.....a bad apple spoils the whole barrel. It don't work in the reverse.

Weird, isn't it? At the very least it APPEARS that the VD's depraved proclivities were a factor in Danielle's vulnerability.

I think of it akin to a parent placing his/her child in a car and driving drunk. If an accident occurs, it can surely be said that the parent meant no harm. However, the consequences don't change.

I happen to believe that there is a lot of truth to the "lifestyle" stories. Of course the couple refrains from comment for a number of reasons, but I bet they know they contributed to this horrific situation. Danielle was unguarded and they know why......or maybe even more about her abduction.

Is this sufficient "alleged" grief to satisfy you?
