The towyard's reciept when George picked up the car stated quite clearly, "NO KEYS" It also stated (in the interviews with Tow yard owner, in the 400) that George used his own set of keys to start up the car.
I don't know where the "keys and purse were in the car" reference is, but it's not in my copy of the 400.
Also, the 400 states that the abandoned car was first noticed on the scene on the 27th, and was parked with the front facing the curb, not turned-around as many of the posters in this thread are saying. (where did that info come from?)
The only reference to the car being "backed in" anywhere, was the grandparents garage when Casey borrowed the shovel.
Odd that Casey (according to George) had taken the gas cans from the shed. only a few days ahead of this (report made), and he claimed he later retrieved them fromt he car. It would seem that she must have done quite a bit of driving at the time.
The bag that George retrieved from the back of the car "contained maggots, pizza and paper", per the tow tard owner, and was thrown over a fence at the yard "near the dumpster". It was retrieved by LE (last page of the 400).
Don't think the grandparents are involved? Both towyard interveiws pointed out that George said, "We have my daughter back, but my granddaughter is still missing". Then we have Cindy saying "we found Casey through a phone number on a piece of paper in the car."
So, George Anthony..? I'm glad you found your gas cans in Casey's car within the two three days that elapsed between the report and the car being abandoned. Mind explaining how you found Casey prior to getting Any's number from the paper in the car, Cindy calling Amy and then picking her up to get Casey brought to the house?
WHile we're at it, I wonder how Casey was unaware that her mother went to the greatgrandfather's place on father's day with the child.. 6-7 days after Casey reportedly last saw the baby.
Personally, I know this throws a monkey wrench into a lot of the ideas being bounced around about the car, but I think there was indeed a bag of trash in the back of the car that, after an undisclosed amount of time in the car (at least the 27th through the 16th), stunk-up the vehicle.
How long would it have to be there to produce maggots on the 15th? Maggots are only a single phase of decomposition.
I also feel that it's intended to be one of the many smoke screens put up by Casey, Cindy, and George, to throw-up enough confusion to block prosecution from proving anything beyond a shadow of doubt to the Jury. Not only do they have a good lawyer.. George is an ex-cop.
LE on the other hand was careful on how they released the information regarding the stuff found in the trunk at the house. They found hair with bacteria on it and found decomposition... Of.... ? Sure, it's Caylee's hair, but I'm sure there's a few of MY hairs in my trunk without having actually climbed into it.
There's decomposition evidence, but of a human body? of Caylee's body? This has still not been revealed.
Remember what Cindy said would be the best method of retrieving info from the daughter? "put the fear of God into her".
Is that the truth, or is it part of the smokescreen designed to get investigators to slip up on the case by being seen to coerce the suspect?
So imagine.. "Hey Casey.. got your girl in that trunk, and signs of decomposition. We also have you dumping the car. We really don't need much from you now, but if you wanna' tell us anything, the offer of immunity still stands... for now.. but it's fading fast."
Casey's efforts seemed geared towards running a goosechase and purposely obscuring the timeline of events, to throw off investigators "Sure, I know I've been lying, but I didn't lie about the apartment or the date." Then what actually happened if Work was a lie.. why not give the investigators what you really did after you dropped off Caylee, to find a way to corroborate your story?
My gut feeling is that the Grandparents know more about what happened than Casey does. Perhaps the baby was given away, or perhaps that was the story given to Casey as she was told to stir up the clouds of deceit, while the parents turned-up the heat on her.
Casey is lying, that's been well established but now I wonder why her parents are lying too.
