David Alan Westerfield is unlike many killers that we profile on True Crime All The Time. There doesn't seem to be anything in his childhood that would point to the fact that he would become a killer. He didn't have a record. He was successful and many people in his life and around his neighborhood liked him. But, in 2002, he made the decision to murder his 7-year-old neighbor Danielle Van Dam.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this tragic case. What makes a man who seemingly led a decent life turn to murder not long before his 50th birthday? And why would he target a young girl that lived just two doors down from him. But we know that behind closed doors are not always what they appear. And things would come out about Westerfield after his arrest that would suggest he was not the wholesome middle-aged man he portrayed to those around him.
