IMO, it seems likely the majority of the flies escaped when the trunk was opened at the tow yard, the trash bag was removed and left overnight in a dumpster. When George and Cindy drove the car home, they opened the windows, trunk, skylight, etc. to air it out...
THAT is why i think a lot of flies were not still there. As far as the stain, she was triple-bagged with two garbage bags and an additional bag with a vinyl liner. :twocents:
July 15th, 2008 was not the only time that trunk was opened during the 31 days.
Casey could have opened the trunk on June 19th, 2008 when she borrowed the shovel from her neighbor. Which is what I believe happened. She opened the trunk after backing into the garage and carried Caylee out into the backyard and tried to bury her. Now, either she left the trunk open (doubtful) while it was in the garage... or she shut it. If she shut it, she would again have to open the trunk in order to put Caylee back into the trunk.
On June 24th, 2008... we know for a fact that the trunk was opened because this is the day of the gas can incident. Now... you know that Casey was hiding a heck of a lot more than those gas cans from George. Whether Caylee was still in the trunk or not... Casey did not want him anywhere near the trunk of that car.
Now... depending on what day Casey finally decided to dump Caylee into the woods off Suburban Drive... she would have had to open the trunk again.
Who knows how many times Casey opened that trunk or attempted to clean it. I am hoping that Dr. Haskell is called back on that stand to give us his opinion on how hard it would be to get the bugs out of that car? Casey obviously didn't do a good enough job or there would have been none left.
I believe that TH's little experiment was not even worth listening to. Anyone who can honestly compare a Nebraska September to a Florida June is just... unusual.
Second of all... He left the pigs in the trunk for 11 days!! That is 6-9 days longer than Caylee was even in the trunk of her mothers car. So the timeframe isn't even correct. He was trying to bolster the experiment and the amount of bugs by leaving those pigs in the trunk a lot longer than Caylee was even in the trunk.
Also, those pigs were not wrapped in anything. At least he could have done was attempt to use one trash bag! He had the relevent information to do a serious experiment that would have given his opinion more weight, but he refused? I think he knows full well that the blanket, bags, and laundry bag would have made a difference.
I am really interested to hear Dr. Haskell's opinion on how hard it would have been for Casey to get rid of the bugs... she had at the most, 10 days with that car before she left it at Amscot.
All in all... I think Jeff did an amazing job today. TH came across as really misleading... especially with the "tabacky spit" and the "dried up bologna." If we can not trust what he says about these issues... how can we trust him about the stain?
