Great job Michelle & Esc! KB should have given you guys some credit!
Wonder if LE has seen this house too.
I don't suppose Marellano contacted LE? It looks like the bags are still there which makes this place full of evidence - PI evidence and possibly KC evidence. Perhaps LE hasn't found the house yet either? No crime scene tape, etc? Even the press didn't find it before you guys did! Could be very important to the case and if the public figures it out, evidence could be compromised!!!
Marellano (sorry mods) I have a number that can get you straight through to the person you need to talk to - check your PMs for mine. Also, that car at the memorial site has the license plate showing - can somebody do something to blot it out so nobody here gets in trouble ! Aaackk my heart is pounding!
Been reading this all day and watching and yes - doubting (eating humble pie here)...you all are good! I live here and wouldn't have thought a local neighborhood house would be so run down.
Ok. So, I go to the remains site to get my bearings and I also wanted to take some video of the drive from the A house to the remains site (I'm uploading that now). I get there and am taking some photos when Channel 9 pulls up behind me. They do a quick report and then I decide to talk to Kathi. I asked her if she knew where the abandoned house was and she said no. I told her that I was on my way to a potential house and just stopped at the remains site on my way. I told her the address and she said, "Someone from that website emailed me about that place." I told her that I was on my way over and would she want to go together. She said yes and I wanted to be sure that I wouldn't be stepping on her toes or be in the way...she said no. I left ahead of her and got to the house first. I took some photos of the outside and then she arrived with her cameraman. She walked around the perimeter and called her boss. The house was noticeably abandoned but she wasn't sure if we could go on the property. While she was on the phone with her boss, I went up to the fence (left side) and looked in. Pepsi machine...clear as day. I walk back to my car to get my camera just as she finishes up her phone call. She and I both just look at each other and both have a bit of a look of shock on our faces. I said, "This is it." She said, "I know." She explained about her conversation with her boss re: going on the property. We approached the left side of the house (with her cameraman) and they started filming some generic shots outside. A neighbor walked out and Kathi asked about the house. It has been empty about a year...the owners went back to Puerto Rico. The neighbor thought we were interested in buying the house! Anyway, the cameraman and Kathi entered the backyard and...I followed! Hey...I wasn't giving up my "exclusive" for WS! The yard was completely overgrown with Pepsi machines *everywhere*!! I've never seen so many! You could clearly see in the house through the back sliding door. Lots of rubbage throughout the yard. Two sheds. A large flatbed truck.
I took photos and video. It started raining and I had my son with me so I had to go before Kathi was finished. She very kindly asked me to not post anything about this so that she could get the exclusive. I was happy to do so. It just about killed me, but I was happy to do it. She was extremely gracious and if she hadn't been there I wouldn't have gone into the back yard at all.
I'm running through this super fast because I have to take my daughter to gymnastics. I'm sure I've missed a ton of info. Feel free to ask questions. Oh, here is a link to my PB account (photos only, no video yet): http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/marellano/Caylee/?albumview=link

Michelle, You are awesome! I'm privileged to be in the company of such amazing minds. I was off by a few houses but you nailed it. I am disappointed that KB didn't give you credit for the find and I hope they rectify that in future news casts.
Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, so I'll apologize in advance to the MODS if I'm committing a no-no.
Anyhow...I had to password protect my PB site because I got a heads up that people might be able to see my other photos. I had set the Caylee folder to public and all my other folders to private, but I must have done that wrong. I have pics of my kids on there and I definitely don't want those seen by everyone.
I'll make the folder public again once I can be sure my kids photos aren't viewable.

I was thinking about going tomorrow. I want to see if LE gets involved, though. Or other news stations. I definitely don't want to be on tv or associated with this case at all. Next thing you know I will have lived in the house, my real name being Michelle Fernandez-Gonzales, and I will have had a sordid affair with a meter reader.
Did anyone notice that the house next door (east side) is owned by a man with one last name and a woman with a different last name, but that those two last names together are the two last names belonging to Kiomarie?
Just wondering. I know I have not been following this too closely.
I saw the otherway around? I'll check. I may be wrong and seeing a strange edit? Even so My point is that the two locations could be either side of that bit of Suburban, rather than a separate location if you consider one area is the back of Brackenwood.
I would recommend you just set up a completely different account for photos taken for cases separate from the personal. This way no one can hack into it either and you are more protected. I keep everything separate when dealing with research etc.Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, so I'll apologize in advance to the MODS if I'm committing a no-no.

OK I asked in the NG thread but haven't heard anything yet and I am impatient!
I happened to turn around and see on NG a clip of the "secret video" where DC was using his probe AT THE ABANDONED HOUSE. The time stamp on it said something like 11:11, but I did not see the date.
Last night I think I watched every frame of every bit of that video on every link I could find that showed the house, and I don't think I had seen the probe there or a time stamp after 11am. Can someone confirm that this was on there? If so, this indicates to me that not only did DC go to the remains site more than once, but also to this HOUSE more than once??? AND that he was looking for a body there too???
I have not seen anything about this house that seems like evidence but after seeing that...
