I posted the pic above(post #9) and also in the today's trial thread! :smile:
But I have to say that the only one I could see without squinting and doing all sorts of silly things inside my brain was one that was on a top corner of Q64--the other one of the 2 pieces that were found stuck together in kind of a squashed "X" shape. And that particular heart shape happened to be EXACTLY the same size and shape as the size and shape of the missing sticker from the sticker backer in the "Caylee Marie" box!!! I can't help wondering if the FBI lady mixed up which piece of tape had been on top when she saw the heart shape--especially since, when she later held a conference and did a PowerPoint about the heart shape on the tape, the piece she picked to illustrate where the heart shape was was Q64, not Q63. :waitasec: Maybe no big deal, maybe she just grabbed a random photo...or maybe the confusion was in the official report rather than in the unofficial Power Point lol. I am not trying to slam anyone who thought the myths were true...I probably spent more time than was healthy on the heart stickers and duct tape. :crazy:
I read the entire 106-page trial thread after work and I was SOOOOO frustrated because it was like Sticker Myth Central in there!:banghead:
So now I'm too tired to read back through the sticker threads and find all the links and arguments, but FWIW here are my list of Sticker Truths::twocents:
1. STICKER NUMBER ONE (the "red herring" sticker): There was a puffy glittery heart sticker stuck on a piece of cardboard matting found at the remains scene. Possibly the matting was once a photo, but no one knows for sure. The exact manufacturer and type of sticker was identified by WS'ers. It is the squishy plastic kind of sticker. The sticker doesn't match any of the ones seized at the house, doesn't remotely match the tiny gem stickers on Casey's friend's phones, etc. Considering it was found stuck to something that wasn't the duct tape, I can't figure out why anyone thinks it's related to the case at all. I'm kind of concerned that the jury asked to see it, because it suggests that they were not listening to the testimony about the REAL heart sticker (see below).
2. STICKER NUMBER TWO (the "smoking gun" sticker): In a yellow box labeled "Caylee Marie" in Casey's room, sitting on top of everything else in the box, there was a cut-out BACKING of a sticker. It was a sticker BACKING, not a sticker, and it was not stuck to anything. It was just sitting on top of everything else in the box. The next thing under it was an envelope from a card sent to Caylee by Grandma Shirley when Caylee was born in 2005. (Yes, we figured out that 37-cent-stamp thing long before JB did lol.) The sticker BACKING was carefully cut out from the sheet of stickers it came with, using fancy curly scissors, and placed in the box. Now why would anyone keep a sticker BACKING in a keepsake box? :waitasec: OH! I KNOW! If the sticker ITSELF was left somewhere that it would (presumably) never be seen again--like in a coffin or, um, in a swamp. This sticker backing absolutely matches and was cut from a sheet of stickers that was found in Casey's room. Since there were still other stickers on the sheet, we know what those stickers looked like. They were the flat paper kind of stickers--the kind that would have broken up and floated away in no time in swamp conditions--or in your bathroom sink in about 5 minutes. The sticker that matched this backing was NOT FOUND, because it had no doubt completely dissolved months earlier.
3. On to the DUCT TAPE! There were NO STICKERS found on the duct tape! Elizabeth F from the FBI (and her supervisor too I suppose) saw something heart-shaped on (she said) tape piece #Q63--the top piece of the 2 pieces that were still stuck together. But by the time she had finished processing for prints, the shape was no longer visible. The heart shape was not in the middle of the piece of tape, she said--it was on one end in the corner. Now, people here saw hearts of all shapes and sizes all over every piece of duct tape.
Thank you for letting me vent.
ETA: Don't worry about all this "about the size of a dime," etc. silliness. The jury will have the duct tape, the sticker backing from the Caylee Marie box, the photos showing both these things next to rulers (which they won't need at that point). And maybe they will SEE the heart shape on Q64 (or Q63--I'll keep an open mind!).
I was thinking the same thing! I Swear I saw on Websleuths a picture of the heart shaped residue on the funky duct tape, in the beginning of this case.

I'm hesitant to mention this but (oh, I just know I'm gonna get slapped) there was also a heart sticker found stuck to the back of a picture frame but I've never seen a pic of it (I think I saved a copy of the Doc page...somewhere! Lol).
