Taylor says there was "no obvious" signs of cleanup in the car. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 50s
Defence asks whether there was any botanical evidence taken from the car. Taylor says there could have been. #badenclay

Jamie McKinnell ‏@jamie86 23s
Police consulted with a botanist and hydrologist during the immediate investigation of Allison #badenclay's disappearance. @NewsTalk4BC

Interesting how police did this before she was found .. do you think this is because they had managed to work out where Gerrid went that night? Or just good guessing?

The court is being shown a photo of the boot area where the third row of seats fold down. There are baskets of toys there. #badenclay

Taylor agrees a vacuum device was used to collect any evidence from the car. #badenclay

Hey .. maybe the vacuum cleaner Nigel took was the one they used for the cars usually?

Mrs Dickie said the house was usually not very tidy with Allison having 3 kids. She said Allison was clean but she had never seen the house in that very very clean state. She was shocked when she walked in.

Thank youn for clarifying Ali!

I'm on 20 mg of Escitalopram I've got two sticker warnings on my box one says "do not stop taking this medicine abruptly unless otherwise advised by your doctor" and the other is " this medicin may affect mental alertness and or coordination. If affected do not drive a motor vehicle or operate machinery."

I was told by my doc that I should take this in the morning as it doesn't cause drowsiness. Boy was she wrong it knocked me out. So now I take it after dinner and have been on it for 8 months

I take the same antidepressant that Allison took (but twice the dose) and have never had any drowsiness. The only side effect I get is when I am slack and leave it a few days to fill the script. I get "dizzy eyes".
To change the subject I wonder if GBC believes in depression now. I imagine being in gaol would be depressing.

No I think he'd just believe he's been wrongfully locked up.

3:03pm: Under cross-examination from defence counsel Michael Byrne QC, Senior Sergeant Taylor said no blood was found inside the Baden-Clays' house after Mrs Baden-Clay's disappearance.

He also said there were "no obvious indications of a cleanup" inside the house or inside Mrs Baden-Clay's silver Holden Captiva.

It does recommend not to drive until sure how it can affect you right? Perhaps that was the reason Allison wasn't driving rather than because she because of a panic attack? If she was going to suicide that night though, she wouldn't be concerned about having a car accident, that would be the furthest thing from her mind. Wouldn't it? I don't know, it was just an idea I had.

I believe it says to excercise caution when first taking it. She'd been on it for years though, and clearly she'd been driving all that time.

I would bet she is just one of those type of people who doesn't particularly like driving in the CBD and that sort of thing, but is completely fine driving anywhere else. Most people are the same unless they regulalry drive in or through city streets.

I bet the whole thing is just being totally blown out of all context. So ridiculous!
