This case has really been bothering me. I am outraged that law enforcement did almost nothing to help this family!
I read in one of the articles that Denise recently moved back to Lancaster to be closer to her family and left the father of her child.
Another article stated that her BF left for work that morning and 2 hours later her sister stopped to pick up a key and they were gone.
This case seemed very solvable at the time if the police would have done their job. If Denise got a new BF maybe the child's father got angry and came to the apartment to hurt her.
I wonder if Danny's father loved him and enjoyed being a parent like Denise did? I read that he failed a lie detector test. Just because there was no blood in the apartment does not mean a crime did not take place.
I have so many questions and possible theories but I am certain Denise did not voluntarily just pick up and leave.
I would like to find more information.

Bumping -:behindbar I just read that the BF failed a lie detector test 10 years ofter they vanished.
Police initially believed that *advertiser censored* had left voluntarily with her son, but they now suspect foul play was involved in the disappearances. None of *advertiser censored* or Spangle's clothing or personal items appeared to be missing. Spangle's car seat and diaper bag had been left behind, and *advertiser censored*'s vehicle was found parked undisturbed in its assigned space. *advertiser censored* had paid all of their utility bills for the month of March 1989 and they did not plan to travel. It is not known who apparently broke into their residence; *advertiser censored* and Spangle have never been seen again. Spangle's father lived in Orange County, California at the time of Spangle and *advertiser censored*'s disappearances. He was interviewed by police about their cases. Ten years later, he took a lie detector test about the disappearances and failed. He has never been arrested in connection with his son and *advertiser censored*'s disappearances, however, because there is no evidence to tie him to them.

This is not a common name. It occurs mostly in Louisiana & the Illinois Teritories. It's originally from the French Alps. Near Vioron. Is there any relation to Leticia *advertiser censored*, murdered in Alameda county, california in the 1960s,

From 2017.
Mom Seeks Answers In Daughter's Disappearance Nearly 3 Decades Ago
It was around 6:30 a.m. March 2, 1989, when Denise got up to make breakfast for her live-in boyfriend at their Lancaster apartment. He later left for work, and that was the last time Denise and Daniel were seen by anyone.
“The apartment hadn’t looked ransacked, her property was there, her clothes were there,” Lopez said. “In fact, her vehicle was still in the parking space outside.”
He says other than some damage to Daniel’s closet door and what looked like a footprint on top of the air conditioner outside, everything else was intact. The only other things missing besides the mother and son were their Social Security cards. Lopez says the cards were later found at the house of the baby’s father. He had a volatile relationship with Denise over custody of their son.
“He just said they showed up mysteriously in his mailbox,” Lopez said.
Daniel’s father and Denise’s boyfriend were immediately considered persons of interest, the detective said. Both denied any involvement in the disappearance. And throughout the investigation, there was never any physical evidence, anything that could positively identify or eliminate either as the suspect.
“At this point in the investigation, neither one have been exonerated,” Lopez said. “They’re still in the pool as potential suspects.”
Denise and Daniel’s remains were never found. Lopez says if they were abducted and murdered in the Lancaster area, it would be nearly impossible to find their remains in this vast desert.
“I know she’s in a better place,” Gausman said. “I know she’s not here, and I just pray that Danny is.”

I have the impression that the biological father had something to do... maybe jealous of Denise's new boyfriend... maybe he took them somewhere with the promise of buying them something or giving them some service but in the end they only found death... in the end At least Daniel was not left alone in the world.. he left with his mother..

I wonder which apartment complex this happened at in Lancaster? I’m from that area. sometimes when I’m out hiking I think of there is probably a lot of souls buried in the desert out here. I found bones once and reported then to Sherriff, but the never got back to me as if they were human or animal.
