MORE IMPORTANTLY... :waitasec:
perhaps this info tells us that BY 9:02PM Casey wasn't pursuing follow-up w/ Amy? Is it telling us that Casey KNEW Caylee's fate was sealed already...or that she just dint give a d@mn (inhaling will do that) and had given up actively pursuing anything on Caylee's behalf for the night?!? :furious:
Since this phone 'behavior' began when Mark H's incoming call came in while Casey was with Tony @ Blockbuster...was there a mode that Casey could've/would've put her phone in that would explain this?? Sometimes my phone will notify me I have a vmail waiting when there was no incoming call ring. Seems to happen for no rhyme or reason. Was this happening to Casey @ a time when Caylee's care hung in the balance??
I am definitely coming around to Bond's way of thinking , which is that Caylee died after 6 PM on the 16th, away from home. This was largely triggered by Casey's poor planning for that evening, resulting in her inability to rope someone into Caylee-care. :shakehead: Originally I had been focused on the time period
before 4PM, but Bond's arguments around the cell records supporting Casey's standard operating procedure are just too great. :thumb: Throw on top of that the fact Caylee was found without shoes and wearing what seemed to be her away-from-home pajama top, and it certainly does appear Caylee was with Casey up to bed time.
I then get around to that chloroform signature found in the trunk. Up until the point when Oak Ridge's
final report was released, I was pretty self-convinced that the "high-levels" of chloroform were due to some external source amplifying a normal decompositional event. Options included chlorinated pool water in the lungs and Febreeze. But then that final report came out telling us the positive control sample (dead-baby blanket from Montana) had
zero chloroform and that the levels found in Casey's trunk were a
million times higher than normally found with a decomposing adult.
On top of that, Dr. Vass's emails with OCSO showed he was clearly alarmed by the chloroform levels and suspected a not-so-innocent explanation.
As hard as it might be to believe, the science seems to indicate chloroform
really was used on Caylee to put her to sleep that night.
The question comes up time and again though, if chloroform were used to knock Caylee out, was it somehow spilled in the trunk? The signature is missing from the car's interior and from the white garbage bag.
The high levels are found only in the trunk. Why?
Using a not-so-new thought to tie the above together, it is probable that chloroform was applied to something that comforted Caylee as she went to sleep - the Winnie the Pooh blanket. Clearly OCSO and the FBI felt that it was applied to something that comforted her, because they tested both the car seat and her "mama" doll, :sleuth: coming up negative. I don't recall seeing a test on the blanket, but given it lay in a swamp for 6 months I doubt they'd find anything.
So I've been lead by the ear now to believe that when Casey could not find Caylee-care that she got her ready for "bed", and used the blanket to help her sleep. The indications seem to be this was all done from the trunk.
My first inclination would be to believe Casey would not be so stupid as to leave Caylee in a hot car where she would certainly die due to heat stroke. But I looked at the weather records for that day, and see that Casey
could have been lulled :deal: into believing it would be OK. It had been in the 80's earlier, but around 3:30 that area of Orlando got roughly 1/2 inch of rain, and the temperature dropped to the low 70's, where it stayed for the rest of the evening. Skies were overcast. So to a simple mind :loser: it may have actually seemed a "safe" thing to do.
The problem is, Casey and Tony "slept in" the next morning.
By 9:00 AM it was 80 degrees with a few scattered clouds. If Caylee was not already dead, the morning heat would have killed her fairly quickly. :cry:
