I've been reading over the doc dump from 1/21/09 and the origin of the DNA parentage test report that OCSO obtained is bugging me. It was mentioned so many times in discovery that this question might take me awhile to ask so please bear with me.
In CSI Bloise's report on evidence collected from the vehicle and sent to FBI it has a list of evidence collected from the vehicle (Casey's white Pontiac) on 7/16/08. The report was typed on 7/28/08 and here is the link:

See pages 1 & 2. The DNA test is labeled as Art#1, DNA Parentage Test Report, K-1, Item Tag #H52043. States that evidence above was collected from the trunk. On page 5 & 6 it again says this evidence was collected from the vehicle.
So my question is did the OCSO find a DNA Parentage Test Report in the trunk of Casey's car or is it either a mistake in the reports or am I interpreting the reports wrong? I want to know where this DNA parentage report come from?
This data was released to the public on 1/21/09 and on 1/28/09 Casey's attorney, J. Baez filed a motion asking for discovery. Item 23 on his motion was: "Copy of DNA parentage report as listed in discovery page 3240 which was in possession of OCSO as a result of the search of the Anthony home in July 2008." Here is a link to page 3240 of the discovery (p. 25 of viewer):

It is a OCSO Property Form and it is dated 7/25 or 7/26/08 (I can't tell which) at 17:30 hours. It states location property rec'd as: Forensics office. I guess CA could have voluntarily brought it to OCSO on this day, but for some reason I doubt that. If the DNA report was Jesse G's and obtained from the Anthony's house or turned over by CA, why would Baez have to ask for it in a motion? I would think Casey or CA or JG could and would have provided a copy to Baez if asked.
I can not tell where OCSO obtained this DNA Parentage Test Report. If it was from a search of the Anthony's residence like Baez states in a motion, I can't find the paperwork stating that. I've found searches done at the Anthony's on 7/17 & 7/18/08 but both days were only searching in the backyard and a DNA report was not metioned. The next items collected were on 7/21/08 and included toothbrushes, hairbrush, comb and thermometor from the home again no DNA report metioned. The next items reported by OCSO removed from the home is on 8/1/08 which was after the report on 7/28 listing the DNA parentage report.
I have searched on WS all day and only found one mention of this test being listed as found in the car and the poster stated the OCSO report was being misread. This may be true or not. When Baez filed the motion in Jan-08 for a copy of the DNA report a thread was started and all assumed he was asking for Jesse G. test but JG was not mentioned anywhere in relation to this discovery or defense motion.
Sorry all, I know this is the longest question ever but I didn't know where else to post this. What I really want to know is where did OCSO get this DNA parentage test report from - the car or CA or the house during search?
