SAN DIEGO -- Some $24,000 remains in a fund that was set up during the search for 7-year-old Danielle van Dam.
Initially, the family expected to use donations to pay for search expenses, like posters and fliers.
After Danielle's body was found, the family Web site said additional donations would be used to pay memorial expenses.Close friends have suggested the van Dams take their time considering how the money will be used.The funds could be used to pay for counseling for the family, and the van Dams are considering establishing a local foundation to conduct searches for missing San Diego children.Meantime, the van Dams neighbor David Westerfield will be formally charged for Danielle's murder Thursday.His house on Mountain Pass Road was put up for sale last week.
