I don't buy that anyone other than the security guard was the main perpetrator. Dani was expected at her friend's house for dinner around 5:30, but she didn't leave Met Life until about 5:00. That time of day, the drive from Met Life to the security guard's house would have been pushing half an hour--let's say 20 minutes minimum--yet Dani never contacted her friend to let her know that she would be late. That leads me to believe that Dani was subdued or incapacitated before she realized that she would be significantly late--in other words, almost immediately upon reaching the security guard's house if not before.
RBBM.
Personally, I'm still on the fence about that part. I go back and forth.
I've always had a hard time with the idea that Danielle and the SG were in a mutually agreed upon intimate or a romantic relationship, or that he was her dealer (to be fair, or the other way around, and that is
only if either one of them partook). Even
if she smoked a joint from time to time, she would have had other means of procuring it than a SG with whom she
might have engaged in occasional small talk, IMO.
We never really, completely know a person, IMO, but with Danielle, I honestly get the feeling that she is someone who has common-sense and exercises it, and also does the right thing.
Once we learned of the existence of the SG -who once worked in the same building as Danielle, no less-, for quite some time, I was convinced this was someone who had some sick fantasy involving her, and took advantage of her kindness that day by telling her some fabricated sob story or by force with a weapon. And I still think that may be what happened.
But then again, as you point out, she was planning on being at her friend's house by 5:30. She had even asked for and got permission from her boss to leave early. If asked for a ride by someone she probably didn't even know that well, would she have obliged? Wouldn't she have at least try to call or text her friend and ask if she would be OK with her running a half hour to 45 minutes late? Her friend had specifically asked her to arrive early after all.
So what could the SG have possibly told Danielle to get her to drive to the Oxford house? Did she even know he lived there?
I'm almost certain LE has reason to believe and solid evidence -other than neighbors' statements that her Jeep and/or she herself was seen there- to prove Danielle was at the Oxford residence in the evening of Dec. 2nd. Beyond that is anybody's guess -aside from LE- at this point, IMO. The SG might have harmed her right there, right then. Or maybe luring Danielle was an "assigned role" in a larger criminal scheme, and the SG took it for money.
What really burns me right now is that -as far as the public is concerned- no one is talking. Whatever happened, I personally believe there likely is more than one person who is aware of what happened to Danielle. There may only be one person who knows exactly where she is, but even then, if someone with some knowledge would speak up, that might lead to something else that could break the case wide open.
Every Friday, I wake up and the first thing on my mind is Danielle ... :cry:.
