Hello WS
(Quote Respect Amy)
This whole gas can thing is so confusing. I just watched GA's interview that took place on 7/31/08. In part 5 of that interview , GA is talking about the shovel that KC borrowed from BB ,(neighbor) he is telling the detectives that the only reason KC had to borrow BB's shovel b/c his shed has a lock on it , a brand NEW lock on it. He goes on to say someone would have to be tough to get anything outta his shed AGAIN. I was like WTH does he mean by again?
So, I went back to re-read BB's interview to see when KC did borrow his shovel , and he states it was either 6/18 or 6/19. So, if BB is accurate on his dates , then that would mean GA would have had to have had that BRAND new lock on his shed prior to him making the gas can theft report 6/24.The detective even says to George that the shovel incident would of have to have been after 6/24 , b/c of the new lock ...George looks down and says "yeah". IMO I dont buy into the gas can theft on 6/24. There is something fishy to this date of 6/24.
ITA this is confusing. I do not have an answer but I wanted to post a part of the GVS interview that speaks of the shovel and the shed.
GVS: Does Casey say she borrowed a shovel from a neighbor?
CA: Yes
GVS: And what did she say her purpose of borrowing a shovel...
CA: To look for the bamboo.
GVS: So to remove the bamboo, which grows very...
CA: Rapidly
GVS: ...aggressively
CA: Right. It does, and if we don't keep track of it-if I don't get rid of that today, I'll have other shoots coming into the rest of the yard.(
notice we are not talking about Casey anymore: if I don't get rid, I'll have other shoots...)
(skip)
(paraphrase: George is confused re: gas can date. Which is why we are confused.)
GVS: Alright. So best you can tell, it happened between the 22nd and the 24th. Someone broke in there.
GA: Uh-huh, that's when I saw my daughter. I was getting ready to go to work, and the garage door goes open and my daughter comes in...
I am thinking: the shovel and gas can day is different because Casey would not have had to or been able to borrow the shovel on gas can day because George was there. Plus we know no one was home, the neighbor said so. George is the one who(I think) keeps on bringing us to the 24th as gas can day.
Then we have "chase day" which seems to fit in after seeing her on gas can day because George said he saw her leave the house and had enough and decided to chase her but lost her. On gas can day she said, "here are your f-ing gas cans" and the way that went down it does not sound like he chased her that day, although in none of the statements about that encounter do we hear anything after he got the cans from her. Did she just jump in the car and take off? Were there words exchanged? George never tells, not even LA: or Lee lies to LE by not giving that information.
I do not know what WSers found out about the E-pass records for that day. Did we find out what day George chased Casey? Is it the same as gas can day or another?
IIRC LE has established that "the body was dumped soon after death"(paraphrased) which fits into the timeline Amy has above of BB stating 6/18 6/19 as shovel day.
I still do not totally understand but with the shovel and bamboo, CA's excuse was just that: an excuse. She was not giving any true information re: Casey and her whereabouts or habits. She had heard and had been questioned about why Casey would have had to borrow a shovel from the neighbor when she should have been out of the area: Cindy heard, "why would Casey borrow a shovel..." and nothing else and just came up with why SHE(CA) would need a shovel: to dig up bamboo.
LA states that his dad had to buy those little locks to put on the shed, that they never had to have locks on there before. So, if Casey had to break in to get the cans, something must have happened before that day because George already had put a lock on the shed. And, there had to be a lock as early as 6/18 if the neighbor is correct because she couldn't get in the shed so she had to borrow the shovel. I guess the reason she didn't break in there that day was because she got what she needed: the shovel.
And on the day she stole the gas cans she must have already known there was a lock on the shed. Maybe that is why she called Tony to help her. LA seems to describe the locks as "little" and I have no idea how difficult it would be for someone to break such a lock. Anyone? Would Casey had needed or thought she needed help to break it?
So, what got stolen from the shed, or what reason did they start putting locks on the shed? I have the interview with LA where he is talking about this but I can not find the notebook I have it transcribed in-which is crazy it should be right here. It has temporarily left our time/space. But, IIRC LA laughs about them having to put locks on when they never did that before. And, if my mind is making sense to day: that has to be true because Casey went to the house to get a shovel(for whatever reason, even for bamboo digging), but she must have expected to be able to get into the shed?
I thought maybe they had locks because of Caylee, but that is not how LA makes it sound. You would think he would say something like that: but since Caylee dad put locks on the shed...but in the interview they are speaking about Casey stealing from the shed the gas cans and how George knew it was her all along and that he had set a trap for Casey.
So, I do not have any strong feelings about any connection to something happening in the shed prior to 6/18 giving any insight or answers other than how untrustworthy the Anthonys thought or Casey was. It just seems like this fits in with Amy's quote that George was saying: Again.
