I went back and reread some docs to verify my memory.

Page 34 of 50.
Chloroform was searched on 2 different days. March 17 just the word 'chloroform' was entered, spelled wrong, then 'alcohol', 'acetone', and 'peroxide' were searched, and March 21, 'how to make chloroform', again spelled wrong, was entered. This is also the day 'neck breaking', shovel', etc. was searched.
On Oct. 7, Yuri Melich spoke with Dr. Vass by telephone. Dr. Vass mentioned to Melich an unusually high amount of chloroform was found. Melich then contacted the computer forensics person and asked them to look for chloroform searches. These were found. So I was backwards on what was discovered first. I agree 100% nowhere does it say in these documents exactly how much 'an unusually high amount' is. However, this conversation is also not entered verbatim, and also the chloroform was mentioned separate from the human decomposition. The fact Melich went from this conversation to the forensic computer tech and asks her to look for chloroform tells me there is more to it. The fact she finds searches for chloroform leads me to believe there is more to it. The fact an independent expert refers to it as 'pure' chloroform, and it turns out there is something called 'Purified Chloroform' leads me to believe there is more to it.
Do I think Casey sat down at her computer back in March, rubbed her hands together while emitting an evil cackle, and declared, "I am going to mix up a batch of chloroform and kill my daughter with it, bwaa haa haa haa!"? No, I do not. Do I think Casey killed Caylee with chloroform? I don't know, but I think it is a reasonable assumption.
MOO, I think Casey stole the chloroform, and it was probably commercial grade, however, I haven't ruled out her making it herself. She did cook, and making chloroform does not seem any more complicated or time consuming than making dinner. It's not like the girl had no free time on her hands.
