What do you think Visser Three and the other Yeerks thought happened to David?
I'll be honest: this is one of those questions I try to avoid asking, because I think thinking about it too hard reveals an unusually glaring plot hole.
Because... well. As of #20, Visser Three suspects and may even know that the andalite bandits recruited this kid David, maybe even giving him the morphing power. So if the yeerks are that sure that ordinary 14-year-old human David McJonesmith is an "andalite bandit," then why couldn't the other "bandits" also be teen humans? What's to stop the yeerks from at least checking on David's known associates? He only has one semi-friend during his tenure in California — and that's Marco. So why don't the yeerks take a second look at what a guy selling a morphing cube might have said to Visser One's host's son while they were hanging out together? And why would Visser Three of all people (or at least one of his cronies) not go after Marco in search of proof that Visser One is collaborating with the andalite bandits?
Someone else help me Baker Street Irregulars this one into making sense.
