that night he knew the parents were occupied. It's not like he had to hide in bushes to watch the house. Assuming that's what happened..it's possible that HE HIMSELF called rick roberts and portrayed himself to be a cop..spreading the rumors about swinging lifestyles to put a wrench in the public's perception of the case.

One problem here....the father was home and not occupied, at least not until the mother came home during the wee hours....

Another thing, no one has ever even hinted that the neighbor made calls to anyone regarding spreading rumors. And the rumors have NOT been denied by the VD's. If I was accused of such a lifestyle....not only would I be denying it, but my friends would be coming out of the woodworks vehemently denying it. This hasn't happened with the VD's either. I find that a bit odd, too.

Same here. I think that being falsely accused is way high on my list for provoking an angry reaction.

I would go nuts if I was accused of such a thing in the midst of the torment and anguish of my child missing. My family and friends would be screaming in my defense.

These norms are conspicuously absent here.

AH, I was going by the fact that it was possible the child was taken afterwards..if the dad was asleep before mom came home, anything is possible. BTW, It's possible the door was left unlocked for mom, or he fell asleep on accident while watching tv. I've done that myself! I think the timeline maybe a bit confusing. THANK GOD the Van dams have witnesses to the timeline. I'm sure their witnesses saved their backsides...considering the awful rumors being spread.
