Sawgrass Resident Shares Insight

Welcome to Websleuths DavidK!

DavidK is a resident at Sawgrass and has agreed to answer our questions.

And a spin on what NG would say:
"Unleash the members!"
:woohoo:

Has LE interviewed you?

Welcome DavidK

What day is trash picked up?

I copied my posts on the other thread that I asked of David, his replies are in red!


Thanks for the offer to ask questions about Sawgrass! The news showed construction going on and it appeared to be that they were replacing railing and balcony repairs on the building that holds #210. Do you remember if the railing and/or balcony was in bad condition during the timerange of June 15 on? I ask this because I keep thinking of a possible accident there.

The apartment was vacant for some time up until late June when new tenants moved in. I imagine there was some need to repair that railing in order to make it suitable for new renters. The work started the day after the story hit the news.

Do you know if a picture of Caseys white 98 Pontiac Sunbird has been shown around there at all? There are people that may remember her car and not remember her. I believe in the LE docs, the detectives stated that they did do a door to door canvas with a sex offenders unit.

I believe they only went to Registered Sex Offenders homes of which there are none registered in Sawgrass. There was no one that has ever come to our door. Maybe I wasn't home :waitasec:

Casey stated that there was a little shed of some kind near the building. Can you tell us anymore about such a shed and what it might be used for?

Yes there is a shed. About another 50 yards past ZFG's apartment on the left. It is used for maintenance. There is also a maintenance storage unit directly across the sidewalk from ZFG's apartment. This is not a shed however, just a storage room as part of the main office.

I've looked for ages for a picture of the dumpster at SG but none are available. Can you give any info on it and its location?

Immediatley to the right when you come through the gates.

Thank you a million times for coming to our forum and making such a generous offer of help with the sawgrass mystery!

My new question:
Thanks for the quick replies! Those answers really helped to picture the area more! Are you aware if the Waste Management has a reg schedule as to certain days of the week for emptying dumpsters?

Hi David, Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions! :clap:
As you can see, we have many!

Mine are:

Have you seen pictures of Dante and/or Annie D, and do you recall ever seeing them around there?

Did you know Derrick W, who was apparently an earlier occupant of #218?

Are you aware of any possible entertainment/escort services that may have been running out of Sawgrass apartments, or by anyone who was living in Sawgrass?

Let me start by saying I do not know Casey, Caylee, Dante or any of the others. I just happen to live here. I was never interviewed by any Law Enforcement and I have nothing to share. I just happen to live here. I also do not ever recall seeing Casey or Caylee here.

I will answer any questions I can about any details at Sawgrass that I am aware of. Locations, Happenings, Search Efforts etc.

I am not going to offer my opinion on what I think happened to Caylee as that is not the point of this thread.

Welcome David K!

My question, how deep is the pond on the grounds and is it easily accessible from anywhere that you wouldn't be seen well?

Is there anywhere on the property that a body could be hidden?


Thanks! I appreciate your help :blowkiss:

Not sure, but I will check

The one thing I can say about the vibe and this is just my opinion. It seems no one ever looked here even once she was reported missing. Now I know the police did the proper follow up with the property manager and other on site personell, but there was no effort by the family. It took one week before the first Caylee is missing poster was seen in our complex. It was a large volunteer group that eventually came out and posted the flyers everywhere. There has been no additional effort made since that time.
What was most striking about this to me is that if someone loses a pet here, there is an immediate effort to find that pet. I was just surprised especially with living as close as I do to 210 that someone would have put forth more of an effort from the family to find this child.

XXXX S. Conway Rd # Orlando FL 32812
Everything in the Sawgrass apartments should be XXXX S. Conway Rd. Landtree is a street in a different development just down from Sawgrass. The buildings and apartments go up in numbers as you go farther into Sawgrass.
There are approx 10-12 buildings each one is numbered, For example Zenaida's was 2863 and her aprtment # was 210. 2863 S. Conway Rd #210 would have been her address.
Each building has approx 12-16 apartments. 1st floors start with 1, second floor wih 2, third floor with 3

No to all 3

Is there anyone there who does babysitting that you know of?

How easy would it have been for Casey to get info about ZG visit from the office there? Is that office always staffed or locked? What about the people working in there - do they seem honest?

Do they have a cleaning or maintainence crew or person at Sawgrass? Do you know them and what are they like?

I am not an expert of body disposal but I don't believe the pond would have been a place to dispose of a body. The water was just not deep enough in June and at least 50 apartments have some type of view of the pond. It is also a highly trafficked area by residents.

Other than dumpsters and the pond there is not anywhere I can think of.

How about the retention pond between Sawgrass and the shopping complex? It's about 10 feet deep right now.

Any security cameras at the Apartments or any kind of securities?

The police told Casey that they had video from Sawgrass - and that they did not see Casey there when she said she was there. Do you know if Sawgrass does have surveillance cameras in working order? (Some wonder if maybe the police were bluffing when they said this.)

Not that I am aware of but I would not be surprised if someone did. There are a alot of young children.

I have no idea how she would have gotten that name. The office is always staffed during business hours and locked after hours. The staff at Sawgrass is one of the most professional and responsible community staffs I have ever encountered. I don't believe their integrity would have been compromised at any time.
Do they have a cleaning or maintainence crew or person at Sawgrass? Do you know them and what are they like?

There is an outside cleaning crew that comes in wen an apartment goes vacant to clean. I do not know the name of the service that is used. The maintenance is part of the staff which again as I mentioned is ighly professional and trustworthy.

Thanks so much for your help here.

Very intersting that George and Cindy and Lee have not beaten down every door at Sawgrass.

Are the residents there social with one another? Is this case the talk of the complex - so to speak?

In post #6 this question was asked and this is how you answered:

Casey stated that there was a little shed of some kind near the building. Can you tell us anymore about such a shed and what it might be used for?

Yes there is a shed. About another 50 yards past ZFG's apartment on the left. It is used for maintenance. There is also a maintenance storage unit directly across the sidewalk from ZFG's apartment. This is not a shed however, just a storage room as part of the main office.

My question is this. Are you saying that a ZFG did in fact live at Sawgrass, or are you just referencing the apt that she (the Zenida in the news) had looked at? I'm confused because I didn't think that ZFG had in fact lived at SG apts. Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer questions for us!

I don't believe this area was ever searched but it is a very small pond. It is important to note the ponds and lakes in the area did not get filled until after Fay which hit in August. The rainy season does not really start in Florida until roughly June 1. The pond would have been low and the grass and weeds have been cut many times since then.

Hi David - Welcome.

Are you assigned parking slots there - for instance do they allow so many for occupants, and so many for visitors, and do you park in front of your apt., or in a general area? In other words, I would think someone would have noticed if Casey's car had been frequently parked there if there were assigned places to park, as she may have been parked next to them.

Thanks
