I was responding to the poster who stated they thought Madeline could have died from an untreated asthma attack.
Sorry - I am popping in and out of the thread, tbh. I had to step away for awhile as it's one of those cases that can be too overwhelming, especially with all the interviews to listen to. It's.... a lot.
I think it was SS' paint. There's a photo where he is holding up one of his toys that he paints and his thumb is covered in gray paint that's the same color and texture as the paint covering the backpack.
That's absolutely fine, take care of yourself. We all should check in with ourselves. This is probably the hardest thread I've followed since joining Websleuths, and I find it very hard going sometimes. Some days I don't check it at all, and that is okay.
Im seeing here at this url point from the video pic posted above, what looks like a plastic bucket similar to a large spackling container. its right below where it shows 'pet gate' paper or something and some kind of envelope, then the bucket.
It's probably primer. Without primer, the paints people use to colour gaming figurines won't adhere to the plastic. So the first stage is always primer to give it something to grip onto.
Great point! But I'm thinking that whatever that substance was would have had to have been inside her backpack, as it was zippered (IMO) and inside a plastic trash bag. It's just... odd.
Primer is often sold in aerosol cans. If it was pierced or crushed while in the garbage, it would have gone everywhere, covered everything near it.
