I respect everyone's opinion, but anyone who has studied those phone reports might wonder how this talk and text addicted, attention addicted, selfish woman-child can sit still long enough to successful make a very reactive chemical substance? I am not saying it's impossible, but I am having a hard time picturing it. Maybe if her true goal was to use it for sexual activity I could picture it. I think she could be careful enough and give it enough attention to make it if she thought it might help her out in the sex department. Or maybe if she thought it would put the baby to sleep long enough to have her fun I could see it. But to use it strictly for murder, I can't see it. Too many easier ways to kill a child as sad as that is. Still, when in the world was she making it? She was on the phone almost 24-7 and I can't see her talking and texting away while mixing up a batch of chemicals.
QUOTE=The Eunice Burns;4405352]Someone who wanted a memento of his major role in this case. MO is that Kronk is an odd character in this unending list of odd characters connected to this case, but I don't think he had anything to do w/ Caylee's death or the disposal of her remains. I think he put some thoughts together and went on a mission......and sometimes I wish it had been a more "average Joe" citizen who had found Caylee.
Resp BBM -- Oh, I hope I didn't seem to be trying to cast doubt on Kronk--I was just getting at exactly what you said in your last sentence above. LOL
Because they haven't showed us print evidence on the trash in the trunk.
My guess is to simulate a dark bottle - i.e. prevent exposure to sunlight, although she had it in a dark bag.what do you suppose the cardboard rolls were for?
I think I can help put the concentration of chloroform in perspective.
Page 11578 shows the GC-MS plot with the Q238.1 finding of chloroform (I have circled in red):
View attachment 6127
This is a zoomed image of the top plot found on the previous page 11577. Note that in this view the chloroform barely shows as a blip relative to the fatty acids and other compounds found:

But even that image is a zoomed view of the bottom plot from page 11577. In that plot, chloroform does not even show up:

So, IMO, chloroform is an insignificant component of the Gatorade liquid.
If that syringe actually once contained liquid chloroform, the residual concentration found in the liquids (inside syringe and inside bottle) should be much higher I would think.
ppt = parts per trillion
"One part per trillion (1 ppt) is a proportion equivalent to one-twentieth of a drop of water diluted into a two-meter-deep, Olympic-size swimming pool."
The Anthonys used Baquacil- so even if they emptied their pool into the ground ( do people really do that?) it would not contain chlorine.
Plus it was found in the disney bag. Casey and Caylee had tons of disney stuff. She should have admitted that something went wrong that she intended no real harm like death and faced her consequences instead of all the lies and the poor baby out in the weather for months rotting. What a total vile human being she is. Only caring about herself. Her mother would have gladly raised Caylee and Casey could have been foot loose and fancy free. I think her mother tried to make Casey take her responsibility to Caylee since she had her and be a mother. Wish she had realized what a sick person Casey is. Knowing what she knows now I know she would have saved Caylee from this.
And then Q240.1.1 is even less than that. I think what this comes down to is that the lab was asked to look for chloroform and they did, and then noted it wherever it was reasonable to do so. Which doesn't mean that ultimately any of this chloroform business in either the Gatorade bottle (and especially the syringe) is anything that anybody on the prosecution side is taking as important.
Now - if you want to talk about a lot of chloroform...look at Q22!
what do you suppose the cardboard rolls were for?
Do you have a page number for Q22? or could you tell me which piece of evidence Q22 is since the tables are Greek to me.
Also, if anyone that knows about bugs has time could they pop over into the entomology report thread and answer a couple questions there? TIA
It would definitely raise suspicion/questions if someone(anyone) was holding a gatorade bottle and you saw a syringe floating around in it.
Whereas a Gatorade bottle with a cardboard toilet paper roll inside raises no suspicions because it's a fairly common sight. :waitasec:
Exactly. The contents of the syringe were analyzed but not the syringe itsself. That was the confusion.Hang on - lol.
It says that Q238 (the bottle), Q238.2 (the piece of plastic in the bottle), Q239 (the two rolls of cardboard in the bottle), Q240 (the world of disney bag) and Q240.1 the syringe from Q240, were not analyzed. It does not state that Q238.1 (liquid contents of the bottle), or Q240.1.1 (contents of the syringe) weren't analyzed. They were.
