I want to thank
shadow of my mind,
Bond, and
AZlawyer for bringing up the events of July 1 - 3 again. They were sleuthing the devil out of those days while little Caylee was missing, and they kind of dropped off the face of the earth after her precious remains were discovered
. But those days are looking increasingly intriguing and important (I know - careful with the alliteration :hand
.
This post is intended to expand on the timeline for the evening hours of July 1, which I glossed over in my post of a few days ago. Sad to say but I didn't quite have things figured out yet. :bang:
The detail portion of my previous post ended with the 5:35 PM ping in which it appears KC is driving west from the Waterford Lakes area towards Chris S.'s home. There are only three pings from 5:35 PM to 7:09 PM, but they point to the real possibility that KC was in the general area of the remains site that entire time. Not necessarily at the location itself, but close...seeming to almost hover. During this interval there is a single ping:
6:30 PM : This is the first ping in an hour, in a direction roughly southwest of Chris S.'s home. The ping is in the direction of Suburban Drive but not quite that far south (perhaps a mile or so north). This lone ping is due to a call she makes to Chris that goes unanswered.
Based on her earlier driving, texting, and pinging, was she looking for companionship but not finding it? :loser:
Nearly forty minutes later she began pinging again, this time frequently, Making it much easier to track her movements. And this is where it gets really interesting (and supports the notion she was in the area of the remains from 5:35 to 7:09.
Following is a map of her travels - 7:00 to 8:00 in yellow and after 8:00 in red.

Referring to the map above, let's step through KC's movements. The following driving routes are consistent with her movements as revealed by the cell tower pings, and they are also consistent with projected drive times, accounting for minor delays due to traffic and intersections. Just keep in mind the specific details may be (are probably) off a little.
7:09 PM : KC pinged from a general area consistent with the remains site, the elementary school, the Brackenridge home, and the Anthony home. I speculate that, because she was in the broader area for up to an hour and a half,
she was not driving much of that time but was instead stopped, perhaps more than once (you will see in a moment why that makes sense). There are not a lot of places for her to simply park the jeep without drawing a lot of attention - parking lots are her best option.
And what better parking lot than the elementary school?
7:09 to 7:14 : Her pings are
consistent with her having been parked at the elementary school and then driving past her parent's home to the intersection of Lee Vista and Narcoosee. She exchanges texts with Iassen and Chris S. during this short drive.
7:14 to 7:22 has her driving south on Narcoosee (past the tow yard where - unbeknownst to her - the Pontiac is sitting), turning west on 528, then south on 417. She exchanged a couple more texts with Chris S. along the way.
7:22 to 7:30 is consistent with her continuing on 417 until it meets with Narcoosee, then heading back north up Narcoosee towards 528,
making a big loop. She was on the phone with Ryan P. for this time.
7:30 to 7:37 has her getting back on 528, but this time heading west and getting off at the first exit, which is South Goldenrod. She went north on this road.
7:37 to 7:41 is consistent with her turning from South Goldenrod onto Lee Vista heading east in the direction of her parent's home.
Another loop completed!
7:41 to 8:00 it appears KC stopped somewhere near the intersection. That specific area sits on the boundary of two cell IDs registered to the cell tower at Johnson's. If she moved out of that area she would lock into one ID or the other, or onto a different tower altogether. Instead, her pings bounce :Jumpie: from one ID to the other, indicating she sat on the boundary, not moving. During this time George and Cindy attempted to call her, but she let it roll to voicemail.
8:00 to 8:05 she was on the move again, heading north on Narcoosee, where it eventually turns into Hoffner, and headed west.
8:05 to 8:07 she turned south onto S. Semoran and drove the short distance back to Lee Vista again.
8:07 to 8:12 she turned east on Lee Vista, crossed Narcoosee and stopped somewhere in the area where Lee Vista meets S. Chickasaw. This was her third and final looping drive (as far as the pings tell us anyway), just two shy of a full set.
lympics:
For the next half hour - until 8:45 -
she apparently was parked, spending 6 minutes of that time speaking with Tony. A text from Jesse and another from Ricardo came in.
8:45 to 9:00 PM : (20 minutes after sunset for that day) she headed west toward Fusian, calling both Jesse and Ricardo along the way.
9:00 to 11:45 PM : Remained in a location consistent with Fusian.
11:45 PM to 12:05 AM : Drove back to Ricardo's.
Other than the brief drive down the 417, where she was not quite 6 miles away from the Anthony home, the cell pings place her within 3 1/4 miles of the Anthony home for the three or so hours from 5:35 to 8:45!
Of course we know she came back again to this area under full cover of darkness at 4:30 AM the next morning.
Clearly KC was on a
mission. At least until Fusian called.
