Car Seat in 98 Pontiac POLL ADDED

[static]

She did? I hadn't seen this post when I made the comment above.

This brings up another related but semi off topic topic. I was reading today part of CA's depo where she begins explaining that new seat covers for the Pontiac should have been in the trunk too but that as far as she knows, they never got around to installing them onto the seats. She said the reason for them was that the actual seats in the Pontiac were becoming worn in spots.

My questions are, why would she bring this up, do we know for a fact that the Pontiac did not have seat covers on/in it, and were there new seat covers in the trunk waiting to be installed?

iirc CA just rattled this info off as she was stating that although she didn't often go into the trunk of the Pontiac, the last time she did, she recalled the following items - then she tells of the new seat covers there.

Where are they?

Could they have been on the seats of the Pontiac but removed if the crime did happened in the car?

Thank You for your post. Casey likes to give clues to Lee with their code talk. Cindy we are finding out likes to plant new tidbits of info she plans to manipulate into a defense tactic. It's become a regular occurence and a lot of us on here do not trust anything Cindy offers as the truth.

Your theory above would fit perfectly if LE found out those new seat covers for the Pontiac were in use, but Cindy is saying they never were put on, and she is now saying they were missing from the trunk. Very good sleuthing, woe.be.gone. We know Cindy usually throws these things into the story for a reason.

Wish we could figure out if the crime happened in the car.

And Why?

Worthy of a thread?

Personally I found this very interesting but I'm not certain if I missed a big chunk of information along the way that would clarify the situation. But like you said, it almost read like a clue, or info CA wanted to put out there for some reason.

Has anyone seen this picture before? I can't really tell but it looks like it might have a little bit of white on the side of the carseat. Could be the one Cindy was talking about, but then again it could be the same one as in the more recent picture. Does anyone know how to enlarge it for a better look?

It's the first picture in the bottom row of this page:

You can also see in this picture and the one right before it a name brand on the chair (upper left side). I can't tell if it says Eddie Bauer or not.

It's the same one in Casey's car. The only white is the Eddie Bauer logo (which Cindy claims she can't remember the brand haha) The part on the right of Caylee that may look white is hard plastic reflecting the sunlight...actually black if you compare it to the other photo.
Awesome find on the photo though! Wow, I hadn't seen it. Good to have comparisons.. and you can see how much younger Caylee is...same carseat Casey has now.

I LOOKED AGAIN!
OMG!!! IT DOES LOOK DIFFERENT! SAME SEAT BUT DIFFERENT COVER OR CUSHION! Look at the top of the cushion behind her..looks completely different than the other photo! Can anyone blow this up and post it next to the photo with Caylee and Mama in the carseat?

Thanks for the clarification, I was wondering if that logo was Eddie Bauer, couldn't read it myself.

The pattern does look a little different to me too. Hopefully someone can blow it up and see for sure.

THE SEAT OCSO HAS:

NONE OF THE COVERS LOOK THE SAME. SEE PIC #1..HOW HIGH THE BACK INSERT GOES?
SEE #2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER 2
SEE PIC # 3 BACK INSET MUCH LOWER THAN PIC #1

ALL 3 DIFFER.

I say Cindy changed the seat cover.

Just a note about the possible difference in carseats. Convertible seats, meaning those meant to be used into toddlerhood, often come with an insert that provides additional cushioning around the head. As the child grows taller, the extra cushioning is easily removed. I had one much like this. If people opt for a seat like this as opposed to an infant carrier type then they do come with the removable head cushion. I think that is the situation here.

Quoting myself from the tooth thread:

"I don't believe she was in coverup mode at that point in time - when she made the 911 call. It's obvious she's in coverup for KC mode now, but I don't think she was covering up when she removed the knife and cleaned the car. I think she just always did most of the (literal) cleaning/picking up after KC and that's all there was to what she did with the car.

IMO, if she'd been trying to coverup for whatever KC did to little Caylee (back when they got the car back and cleaned it), she'd have never dialed 911 to start with. JMHO. No one knew Caylee was missing but KC, and then Cindy, George, and Lee. They could have easily helped her to "disappear" instead of getting LE involved."

LE probably was trying to establish something pertaining to the carseat with their line of questioning. I just don't think it was about a carseat switch/cleanup, etc. Because I don't think CA knew at that time what KC had done or she'd never have called 911. JMHO.

If she did know at that time, there's have been so many other easier ways to go about hiding the fact that KC had killed Caylee.

I'll grant you that on the infant picture...but how do you explain the difference between pic # 1 and OCSO's pic #3?

I'd say pic #1 was a seat cover and pic #3 shows it was removed. Look at the difference in the height of the black insert on the backrest. Completely different.
Pic #1 looks more plush while pic #3 looks like the bare bone seat or different cover.

The first one looks like casey's carseat for caylee..the last one looks like it would be cindys? brown and beige?

I had questioned that earlier in some posts until someone provided a link with the OCSO description of the seat which said black, grey, red (plastic parts are red as you can see in the pic)

The seat cover has changed.

OR

We will discover Cindy's seat wasn't brown/tan..but also grey and black and this is her seat, not Casey's. A seat switcharoo. Or Cindy's is a different shade of black and grey than Casey's and Cindy calls it brown and tan.. think taupe family...greyish-BROWN...Would you say grey or brown to describe taupe?

I must be color blind because picture 3 looks like beige, brown with orange plastic parts. ~rubs eyes~

I do believe Cindy admitted to having a beige/brown version of casey's black/grey verision (although cindy says black/white)

 

[lizzysf]

I wonder what color the inside of Cindy's 4Runner is... I am sure she would choose a seat that complimented the interior..(supposing she had the 4Runner at that time) If it is grey/black she probably wouldn't pick a brown seat.. just a hunch.. and just a hunch the interior of her car will be grey/black or taupe family...if in fact she switched seats.
I think she could be trying to throw us off by calling it TAN and BROWN. When I hear that I think BROWN, not grey/taupe.

OR, Hers may actually be brown and tan and a seat switch did not occur...just a grey/black cover switch on Casey's seat.

 

[sumbunny]

Cindy has a green four runner.. I'll guess it's got a beige interior

Does anyone know what the interior color of casey's car is? I can't remember

When I first saw it...I thought it could be beige.. But OCSO is calling it grey/black...
It may just be the lighting between the 2 photos.. but none the less...it is different.

Casey's is grey

Any pictures or videos of Cindy in her car that you can recall?

 

[sumbunny]

Not sure about the lighting. Is picture one taken in the back of cindy's car then?

They are clearly 3 different seats. Are we sure that picture three is a picture of casey's back seat and not cindys?
I'm going to have to look up pictures of 4 runner back interiors now..~L~ Any idea on the year of cindy's car?
