And I see no reason it couldn't have been used for both purposes:snooty:... Casey still could have Chloroformed Caylee so she wouldn't fight back, be easier to handle, and someone could have attempted to clean up the trunk with it...IMO, chloroform had nothing to do with Caylees' demise. The reason that I think this is because of the high levels found after the car was examined. I think the chloroform was used to try and get the decomp odor out, used by CA or GA the day they got the car back. To me it still registered high as it had only been a few days since they cleaned it, as opposed to over a month if KC used it. MOO
What I am thinking is that Ga or Ca used pure chloroform to clean/get the odor out.
OAKLAND PARK, Fla. -- An Oakland Park man faces animal abuse charges after, police said, a dog died while he tried to perform surgery on it using chloroform, muscle relaxants and dental floss.
One thing we know for sure is that Cindy didn't obtain it from work, so Casey may have done the cleanup, and they lied about that as well...I have wondered about that before BUT why wouldn't they say that? Cindy said
on the record that she never used any or had any or heard of any chloroform being anywhere around her home.
katydid~~~~
CA also never admitted to putting dryer sheets and Febrezeing the trunk until very recently. Who knows, the chloroform just baffles me.

Wet swimsuit caused the Chloroform...hmmm
Didn't Kelvin baez and one of his experts claim the trunk was not able to be a sealed environment and therefore that made the air sample testing unreliable.
Okay so, the trunk has too much pass thru for decomp air samples but miraculously is now able to seal itself in order for the volital chemical Chloroform to be to "made" and unable to be dispersed or diluted.
A juror might conclude, then, that she must have been restrained, either chemically or physically.
If chemically restrained, her killer prepared some substance in advance that would render her physically unable to resist, administered the substance, awaited its effect, and then methodically applied three pieces of duct tape to completely cut off the flow of air to her mouth or her nose and let nature take its course. At least, Caylee wouldn't have had any fear.
How would jurors apply those facts to the law the court would give them?
If she was physically restrained, her killer would have had to restrain her arms by some means, applying tape while she was conscious. As the killer looked into her face, maybe her killer even saw her eyes as the tape was applied, first one piece, then two, then three, so that no breath was possible. Could Caylee have understood what was happening to her? Did she try to resist? Could her killer see the fear in her eyes as the tape was applied?
It just occurred to me, could chloroform have been in one of those gas cans? And spilled in the trunk? A lot of confusion about the gas cans, and why ICA needed one from Amy. Just a random thought.
Excellent point, spqr! One thing about the chloroform being used for cleaning that has always kept me from believing that is that I don't see how someone could use it for cleaning without knocking themselves out. I'm not very familiar with it, but if it could make someone pass out by holding to their face for mere seconds, how could someone work with it as a cleaner without getting sick or passing out themselves? I can see KC taping Caylees mouth and hands, placing her in the trunk, and pouring some chloroform in the trunk to finish the deed while she goes to Blockbuster with TonE, but can't see how anyone could clean out the trunk with such a volatile chemical. I guess I need to send out the Joypath signal. Maybe she can explain this for me.
Chefmom: IF you plan on using chloroform for any cleaning, I'd suggest STRONGLY that the area be well ventilated or that you work with the chemical under an OSHA approved chemical hood! :woohoo: Practice and skill working with almost any product gets one able to extend the time period of utilization to accomplish a project and in this particular case, IF, and that's a huge IF, a cleaning grade or reagent grade chloroform was used to "clean-up or cover -up whatever Casey had managed to get herself into THIS TIME in Anthony thought",:banghead: I :innocent: betcha it was poured/dumped/tossed/thrown/saturated into the trunk area. :twocents: Unfortunately one can't offset the effects of this chemical by "mouth breathing" as one might do when chopping onions but you CAN avoid SLIGHTLY the fumes by tilting one's head away rather like tucking those fingers under while slicing the same onions loser:a skill that has defeated me!:loser
