Elaborating on magic-cat's post #366. (thanks magic-cat)
CA's FBI interview, July '08:
CA: ...And the other thing was when they towed it. No one's ever opened up the trunk of that car. The tow company didn't have the keys to the car. When we got on sight the guy says, listen before you come to the car.. my... they warned my husband, it stinks. And it's been progressively smelling worse.
He said you know it's been progressively smelling worse since it's been here. Um, he said it didn't smell great when they picked it up. But it certainly was, you didn't even, and George said, you didn't even have to get too close to it. Well, the guy from the tow company was there with my husband because you can't just get into the car and drive away.
(Included because, as Lin pointed out, we could just post the entire transcript. This is inconsistent with her infamous line, "There was no odor.. no odor!")
SB: Right
CA:
So, when they opened the trunk of the car there was, um, a collapsible bin, I think a couple of hangers, a pair of Casey's.. I think a pair of her pants back there in the bin. and then this bag that my husband saw, which I never saw. And in the bag he said there was like one or two pieces of pizza and a ripped up box...

GVS interview, August 8th
GVS: Now, earlier today Cindy, the grandmother, said this about some of the contents that she had obtained from the car after July 15.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CINDY ANTHONY: All right, here's what happened. 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon, brings the car home, pizza smell in the back trunk. No evidence of Caylee, no evidence of Casey.
I didn't have any issues, did I? What time did I make the 911 call? Ok?
I found a pair of pants in the back seat. And, by the way, the two pair of shoes were left in the back seat.
I took the pants out, threw them in the wash with other wash that I had that day, not knowing that that might become evidence.
And that night when the police arrived at my house, the first thing I said "I took a pair of pants out of the car and I washed them." Do you think that they cared? No, they didn't care.

CA's FBI interview, August, '08:
A: She had, well there was a, her work bag was in the white car on the front seat.
And then she had a pair of pants in the back seat and her boots and a pair of shoes back there.
Q: With the pants and all the clothing collected by or did you guys keep that stuff.
A: Um, I think everything that was in the car, oh I told the one girl when she picked things up,
the boots were still in the trunk, I mean in the car, in the back seat of the car. (It was the boots that CA slipped and said were in the trunk and immediately corrected herself to say back seat. In an earlier post, I recalled this as being the pants.)
Q: Boots.
A: The boots and and the shoes. She had a pair of shoes and her boots were in the back seat on the floor behind the driver's side.
I never touched them.. (okay) Those were still in the car when they took the car, I told her I had taken the gray pair of slacks out and that I actually had washed them cause they smelt nasty. So I washed them and I told them that and she didn't take them. They're hanging up in Caysee's closet. pg.2080-2081
It seems the pants
were in the trunk and I believe the boots and shoes were as well. I remember GA mentioning the blue bin being in the trunk but don't recall if he named any of it's contents.
I also want to add:
Shouldn't it have been a red flag to CA that, in the middle of a busy work week in Tampa, extended due to a car wreck with injuries and hospitalization, KC would drive all the way from Tampa to Orlando and back to steal gas for her car and return a day or two later to gather insurance information for ZG?
Something's wrong with the gas can/Tampa story. CA should have known early on that KC wasn't in Tampa. Here's your "red flag" CA; Why is KC telling such an outrageous lie? Followed with, Does this have any thing to do with you not seeing Caylee or even talking to her on the phone since the 15th? I'm not buying it. This was at least one of CA's "red flags". She knew something was very wrong as early as the 24th and probably earlier.
