I am rethinking Caylee being in the back of the trunk the more I think about the effort to maneuver the dead weight :sick:
Eidetic, can you elucidate about your thoughts here, because this is exactly what I am struggling with. Here's where I am currently and by NO means conclusively:
1. KC is right-handed.
2. Caylee may have been merely limp when she was maneuvered into the trunk. That would have made moving/shoving her easier.
3. I have not been able to substantiate Caylee's positioning within the garbage bags and then the laundry bag yet. But, thinking practically, the handles/open side of laundry bag (outermost bag) would have been where a right handed person grabbed with their dominant hand to move said fairly heavy bag. Pick up with right hand, support bottom end with left, heave into trunk. Roll toward back of trunk. Baby now in left rear of trunk facing interior space of car. Question--is baby's head near top of laundry bag/center of car, or at bottom of bag/driver's side of car? IOW, is baby lying on her left or right side?
4. Caylee is in trunk long enough that when perp decides it's time to move her, there is a spill in the back of the trunk, out of the top/handle side of laundry bag and pooling over the spare tire space, which causes a stain significant enough to seep through and mar even the backing of the spare-tire-well liner over the next several weeks before discovery by GA/CA. Spill caused by perp leaning in, grabbing left-side end of bag so as to scoot whole thing forward so that dominant right hand can grab handles on laundry bag and better maneuver the whole thing out. Spill unnerves perp immensely. There is some attempt to mitigate results of this spill by perp at this time or before Amscot dump. This spill settles into the depression in the spare-tire-covering that was made by Caylee's body being curled back there for X amount of time, or because the spare had been used in a previous car accident and not replaced. Spill soaks in, causes circular stain, and some weeks later is source of the "smells like there's been a dead body in the d*%n car".
5. Perp leans deep into trunk of car, grabs laundry bag handles with dominant right hand, supports with weaker left hand. Right hand lifts top part of laundry bag away from carpet; weaker left hand scoots bottom end of bag and contents toward bumper, uses side and back-end of trunk space for leverage, hoists, and starts towards that fallen tree. Spillage at handle end/near rounded part of spare cover, and perhaps dripping/dragging across left side of trunk (lift w/R hand, prop base of bag in L of trunk as you are facing it, hoist up and out), resulting in what Eidetic's enhancements indicate, above.
6. Guardian angel :angel: cleans heck out of obvious stain (the curved one at the back left of trunk, the one that shows so well on the bottom side), does her--or his?--best with other stains, but at this point main focus would be on major spillage that caused what we see on bottom of rounded side of spare tire cover. The drag residue from the seeping bag was maybe not so visibly evident as the longer-distilled back-of-trunk stain, so a once- or twice- or thrice- over with the wetvac might have seemed enough?
7. Eidetic, is there any way you can put the photos of the bottom of spare tire liner and the shot of side-stained garbage bag dumped at towyard together for us? TIA (and again)
MOO, that is.
ETA--has there been any released information regarding forensic tests on the external rear bumper of the car? If what stained the trunk liner is in any way related to Caylee, could the A's have managed to remove all traces from the rear bumper but not the interior of the trunk???
