My Mother-in-Law (rest her beloved soul) graduated from Bethesda (nursing school) back in the mid 40's.
In the early 70's she was a head nurse on a ward at our State psych hospital.
We lived with her at the time and it wasn't unusual for her to come home from work, take off her shoes, sit to read her mail at the dining room table and also start to remove things from her smock pockets ie; notes to herself about a certain patient, swab, tongue depresser, syringe (still sealed with protective cap).
Not that she stole those things....just in the course of her shift, when in a hurry, those things went into her pocket.
I'm sure Cindy, when in active nursing, did the same.
Wouldn't be unusual, at least to me, for the A's household to have a couple syringes laying around from Cindy's active nursing days.
ALSO: I am a crafter.....Jill of all trades, master to very few.
In my box of supplies, I have to have syringes, with needle attached.
Comes in handy when I am trying to glue down a very small area.
If I've decoupaged something and I can't get an air bubble down, I use my syringe, with glue, needle tip inserted into the bubble, squirt in a tiny bit of glue and gently work the bubble down on the surface.
Casey was a 'crafter'.
She could have easily looked for and found somewhere around the A home, a syringe that Cindy brought home from her active nursing days, to use on one of her crafting projects.
Anyone remember any decoupage 'art' on Casey or Caylee's bedroom walls?
Just thinking out loud.
All very plausible theories. I am glad your brought up the "Crafting" as well.
I would also like to add my thoughts on some of the theories discussed in the thread, with some questions.
From what I understood the syringe was in a plastic bag and that is why the chloroform did not evaporate. They also found it in the Gatorade bottle.
What I don't understand is why would she inject Caylee with the chloroform? It is usually applied with a rag or cloth for a knock out effect. Could this be where the duct tape came into play? Did she duct tape Caylee's mouth so that nobody would hear her scream while she injected her with the chloroform? How inhumane if that is the case. :furious: I wonder if they were able to get any traces of Chloroform off the duct tape?
Last night it was mentioned, since the syringe was in the plastic bag they can get a lot off of it. DNA/Skin Cells/Finger Prints and other
...."IMO" they just have not released all of the discovery yet. It was said in this thread early on that there was no evidence on the syringe except for the Chloroform.
I think maybe there is more that just has not been released. As some have already said, if they would of found someone else's DNA/Finger prints they would of had someone else sitting in jail next to Casey. So far the only person sitting in jail, with the DP back on the table is Casey. So, again I say the State has A lot more that we just don't know about yet. I know it seems they have a lot, but something is telling me there is much much more!
As for the testosterone. One thing someone here found out yesterday that all the ingredient's found, are in a certain
hair loss product. So, this could of been one of Georges, Cindy, any elder family member?
We also know that LE surfers from severe acne, so does Casey from the look of her recent pictures of her back, sometimes people with sever ache are given medications with steroids.
Also, I used to take shots in my belie for endometriosis and they were pure testosterone. So, this could be something that Cindy or Casey took. I did lose hair as well due to the hormone imbalance, which would bring up the hair loss product that was brought up yesterday in this thread. Not that it was found in the discovery, just that the ingredients in the hair loss product contained the same chemicals found in the Gatorade/syringe besides the chloroform?
We also know that Cindy cared for her parents in that home in the past, so maybe these medications came from their use. We do not know all their medical history...it could of came from any of them, another possibility.
Someone earlier had mentioned a good theory about the tattoo parlors. They sometimes use chloroform for cleaning (Not often because it's been banned, but some still do because it's cheap and some still use this for a knock out drug for recreational use)(Not saying that is the case here, just another theory), Casey frequented the tattoo parlor she could of easily went in the back with the excuse of using the restroom as someone here mentioned and took a few bottles and put them in her back pack/purse and or poured some in the Gatorade bottle. Maybe as she looked it up she found out she could get it from the tattoo parlor and went that route instead? That could also explain why they found such high levels in the trunk of the car, maybe the bottles leaked due to the Florida heat or her not closing them properly after pouring it into the Gatorade bottle or drawing it up in the syringe.
Could be why she went over to Richards M.'s?, house to do laundry, maybe it spilled in the truck, could be why they found the blood/semen traces in the blankets and other? I wonder if they found any chloroform in any of those items? Maybe mama doll got ruined and Casey ditched else where and that is why she stated they hadn't even found her clothe yet...could of been mam-ma doll and some of Caylee's that did not get washed due to being ruined by the chemicals? Or got ruined in the wash due to the chemicals. I would say search near his home, but it's been to long now and they clothe and doll could be anywhere.
Also, it was mentioned here about one of Casey's friends breading animals, the syringe and some of the chemical could of came from something that was used for the animals. Even from one of the Anthony's animals now that I think about it..
I wonder what else the state may of found in the home/pesticides canisters/trash that was collected from that lady/regular trash and so fourth....was there chloroform found anywhere else besides the trunk of the car? Not been released that I know of.
I still have a gut feeling there is much more that is being sealed...for the state to put the DP back on the table they must have some very damming evidence, even though it looks like much of it is out already...I still feel there is MUCH MORE.
