Blue colored plastic crate???

I found it odd that her backpack was in the car, especially since it was reportedly all she carried with her on the last time George supposedly saw them leaving the house. I would assume it would have contained typical daycare stuff - a change of clothes, etc. Er, if she'd been going to daycare, that is. Sheesh.

And I'm glad I'm in good company with car clutter here. I've got a 2-year-old, and I still have size newborn diapers stuffed in the back of the passenger seats.

I don't recall George mentioning the blue bin as being in the trunk of the Pontiac at the tow yard but he mentions it as being in the trunk when he retrieved the gas cans.
So where is the blue bin? Was it removed prior to Caylee's body being placed in the truck? Was Caylee's body initially placed in the blue bin then transferred to the laundry bag?
Has the blue bin been tested for decomp? Does anyone even know where this blue bin is? TIA

George mentions seeing the same blue bin at Johnson Wreckers in his interview of July 30 on page 7948. Muzikman posted George's interview in Post 66 on this thread http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87165&page=3

On page 33 of the 400 page document, the report filed with the incident report says the following...

"On July 16th, 2008, I was requested by Child Abuse Detective, Corporal Yuri Melich(2684), to meet with Mrs. Cynthia Anthony at her residence, located at 4937 Hopespring Dr, Orlando Florida, and take possession of of several items she agreed to release to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The items consisted of Cynthia's laptop computer, a vehicle, and a bag of various items, which had been inside the vehicle at the time the Anthony's took possession of it from Johnson's wrecker Service." He went on to say that some of the items recovered contained the same unidentifiable odor that Cindy reported came from the car. He described the circumstances under which he retrieved the items. He says that he observed the black leather bag (containing cd's and dvd's) and the belt in the car.

Here is the list of items...

black power cord
black/silver laptop
black leather bag and belt
child's toothbrush
dinnerware knife
plastic clothes hangers
blue colored plastic crate
dora the explorer backpack
child's toy doll
various papers with binder

Based on this document, I conclude that all of the items listed above were found inside the vehicle except for the laptop and it's cord.

Here's the thing I didn't notice until now...why I don't know.....

A blue colored plastic crate?????

Storage crate.....in the back of a Pontiac. With shoes and such laying all over the car it doesn't stike me you're well organized and likely not using this crate for the storage of clothing. Then what are you using it to store?

Thanks Noddy
So...where is it? I've not seen any mention of it in the evidence collected from the trunk. So am I just missing it or did CA take care of it the way she did the knife and slacks?

IMHO, I don't think we can assume all the items were in the car, since there was not a separate list for the laptop. However, the way it is worded everything could have been in the car. Since it said crate, I am wondering if it is one of these things. Something like this would fit in the car if that is where it came from.

Edit: What was said above, I was busy getting a picture of it LOL

It is sooooo unfortunite that the Anthony's got their hands on that car before LE.
George was LE at one time and by God he knew exactly what that smell was and took the car home. Then Cindy CLEANS. George and Cindy turned their backs on Caylee forever on that day just to try to save that wretched daughter of theirs. Is That The Saddest Thing Or What? I not only would have thrown KC under the bus but I would have driven it over her myself.
