All the doo doo is hitting the proverbial fan at the House of A.
Lee and Cindy are supposedly in the midst of this pandemonium announcement that Caylee's been gone for 31 days.
Mom is threatening to get LE involved and Lee is explaining the urgency and seriousness to his sister.
Now with all heck broken loose, Lee skeedaddles off to Tony's to pick up Casey's belongings.
WHY??? WHY??? WHY???
Does she have a toiletries emergency? We know of the "perp walk" but Casey can make do and preen with what's available on Hopespring.
I could accept Lee is looking for clues as to Caylee's whereabouts, but if that's the case, he'd let the computer be when he discovered it was blanked, and move off to his next piece of potential Caylee-locating evidence.
And if he is in a hurry to gret back to his potential biggest source of info, his sister, what the heck is he doing for 2 hours or so?
Other than the comp (had it been working) there is nothing he tells about that can't be scanned in a few seconds to seek clues and info.
Something soooooooo doesn't fit. Wouldn't you be tossing Casery's stuff in the car and hightailin it back to Hopespring to be there as one of the most shocking things you've ever heard is unfolding?
Just wonderin....
From LA's statement about going over to AL's apt 7/15 {less the uhms}:
Yes. This was around midnight. I went and picked up my sister's laptop. Well, it's actually my mom's laptop, but my sister was, she's had it for that past month or so. So the laptop, a very large leopard print duffle bag that had all her clothing and items in there. A backpack, a white backpack with kind of a pattern or symbol on that, that also had some more clothing items in there, a large purse and some kind of female items ....[goes into how neat everything was and how someone else must have packed the bag. He doesn't really say why he went there except for the fact that it was Cindy's laptop. He says he got back at 2:25 am and the police were still at CA's home. They were there when he brought her bags out of his car. The police went to AL's apt before LA got there, about 11pm to get the cell phone. CA had 140 to 200 cash on her that her mom put in her pocket. About the computer:
"It was, it was at the, it, actually when I got there originally it was still off at that point. But it was set up . . . plugged in . . . on the kitchen countertop, and when I turned it on so I can just try to see if I can get on the desktop there because I was curious, it came to a prompt where you have to either, it's saying something to the extent of the last time it was shut down it shut down improperty. There's been data lost. So you can either, you can go back to the most recent setting that worked . . . You can debug it in safe mode. You can log in in safe mode. It gives you about four or five choices. So choosing any of those choices it'll immediately switch to that, Windows XP home screen . . . and it won't even be there for a second or two and then it'll start you at that process again. So I was never able to actually log onto that computer or log onto the desktop."
[We've had four attacks at work on PCs just like this and they were viruses QuietStorm]
"It had to be a virus or deleting those necessary files that Windows need it in order to start up properly. And typically the virus that I'm talking about, the virus is what deletes those files, or at least corrupts them so you can't sign on. Because I've had a similar thing on my pc a few years back."
[Now he's talking about her Yahoo mail and if the laptop didn't work, he must have accessed her account from another computer]
"Yes. Every bit of mail sent, received . . . anything pre-dating . . . nothing there. There's no saved emails. There's no spam. There's no inbox messages. There's no sent mail. There's nothing, everything predating July 15th."
QS: This is me again. I don't know when LA checked CA's Yahoo mail, but she could have deleted it from another computer in the house if there was time before her arrest or after her first release. So that's a question in my mind.
