And finally, I dont buy that it was an isolated incident and not done by someone experienced as per the reports. A rookie child rapist doesnt choose to creep into a home of a stranger at that hour and lure a child out. The risks are too great. How do they know shes awake and alone? How do they know the girl wont scream? How do they know a dog wont bark or alarm wont sound? This wasnt criminal luck. Also, you cant lure a child rape and murder them in 30 minutes or less like pizza delivery unless you know what you are doing and know your target.
I think we seem to come to these same conclusions everytime a child goes missing from their bedroom especially before a perp has been found and arrested. But when an arrest does happen then we all realize it does happen and it happens more times than we may think.
However, Couey had never been in the Lunsford home before he went in and kidnapped Jessica/raped her and buried her alive right across the street from the Lunsford residence. There was no evidence that he even cased the layout of the home he had never been in before that night. And the grandparents had a small dog and small dogs are known to bark at their own shadows yet it did not. As far as I am aware Couey had never gone into a home before to kidnap another child. There was no forced entry in Jessica's case. No one heard a thing.
And you take Joesph Duncan..the sadistic stranger pedophile. He did case the Greone home out with infared night vision goggles. He did know the layout of the home and where each adult and three children slept. He also knew that the family had two dogs that were inside at night. One a pitbull and another pitbull mix. Did it phase him or stop him? Did the dogs bark to alert the family to danger or try to attack him? Absolutely not. He said they just whimpered and got up under the kitchen table and stayed there the entire time. He not only crept in when no one was aware he was there but he viciously murdered three people before he left with the two children he had come to kidnap. There was no forced entry in that case either. He jiggled the sliding glass door and it came open. Duncan had kidnapped, raped, and murdered other children in the past but the Greone children were the first ones where he entered the home in order to get them. Now he DID target them. He was looking for children to kidnap and saw Dylan and Shasta outside in their front yard playing under the water sprinkler. Duncan left no evidence of himself behind in the Greone home. No one heard a thing until it was too late for all of them. They only knew he was there when he wanted them to know.
David Westerfield had never been in the Van Dam home before and it was two story with Danielle's bedroom on the second level. Yet he was able to invade the home and kidnap Danielle with intentions of raping and murdering her..which he did. There was also a dog in that home too. There was no forced entry in this case either. Westerfield left no evidence of himself behind in the Van Dam home. No one heard a thing.
I dont think it would take 30 minutes to kidnap a child. I think it can be done in a few short minutes.
The man that raped my neighbor's granddaughter had never been inside that home before yet he took her out of her bedroom and her parents were there sleeping and so was her older brother. He raped her and then let her go. Until she ran inside her parents' room where they were sleeping none of them had a clue that she had been kidnapped and raped.
So it certainly can and does happen.
This has pedophile written all over it imo.
Come in and get the victim out quickly.
Rape them.
Murder them.
Dispose of the body quickly.
IMO
