The Duct Tape Match

[jon_burrows]

Does this look good or what?

BAM!

Exactly where she belongs.

 

[The World According]

She deliberately had Tony help her with the gas, so his finger prints , and maybe even Ricardo's too would be on the gas cans. Did anyone notice in her tirade to her folks in the August jail visit she admits that she knows the child will never be found alive when she says the media and the detectives are going to have a field day with this when it goes to trial. Obviously if Caylee was to be alive and found, the murder trial would never be. Also I was wondering if anyone knew why the jail allowed Jose to watch Nancy Grace on his laptop with Casey and does anyone thing in their private meetings he has let her use his webcam to talk to her folks or Lee?

If that was her cunning plan it didn't work because the gas cans were given up to LE and fingerprinted and they found none, took swabs, and gave the cans back to Cindy.

Remember, they came from Ohio, and the tape is made there, so it would be more common to see in Ohio IMO. Also I think this product would be in the home a while before it would run out; unless you were doing a huge project. Some things to ponder.

-------------------------
I live a "stones throw" from Avon.I'm going to Home Depot tomorrow evening and I will check out their brand.We have an 9 yr.old in the house so "duct tape days "with rides might not be a bad idea!! Think I will try to go!:woohoo:

 

[noonie]

This tape thing is huge being it is so rare. Hope they find where it came from. Lexus dealership is my guess. Hey love the prison pic. Great work!!

The one piece having the Henkel logo is FBI # Q100. We have not yet seen a report from the FBI describing any analysis done. It was submitted separate from the others because it was collected by OCSO and not the ME.

Also, no rolls of duct tape were found at the Anthony home. This is stated explicitly in the doc dump.

None of the evidence sheets released thus far list a roll of duct tape.

(bold above by me)

Not sure if you meant that Q100 is the only piece with the logo. It's not. (My apologies if I misunderstood.)

The FBI Chem Lab report (pg. 3794 of doc dump) states that the logo was on Q62-64. These, of course, are the pieces that we know about from the M.E.

Thanks that clarifies some things for me.

I missed the FBI number, but see it now.

The absence of any rolls of tape at chez Ant is strange, bordering on suspicious.

Thank heavens for the gas cans?

We await the fine folks at FBI labs

It's more than suspicious. It's downright un-American.

Duct tape, WD-40, and tie wire.

Aesthetics is the last thing I'd worry about for my duct needs. :cow:

Yeah, but it'd look really crappy if you were making a prom dress.

The only thing I'm missing off of that list is the duct tape and that's only because I ran out doing my little test the other night.

**reminder to self - pick up duct tape on the way home in the morning**

Same the civilised world over!

Probably same for large chunk of uncivilised world!

However, I do take the point that LE wisely served first warrant as soon as remains found, while the ants away and had no opportunity to disappear rolls of tape.
I do wonder if LE took tape earlier and we have not seen the paperwork? Seems like a long shot.

PS: Perhaps Lee thought to get rid of duct tape or perhaps KC remembered about it while she was home on leave?

Well this will be interesting because if the duct tape was discontinued in 2007 that just means they no longer MADE IT with that logo. Stores could have it in inventory and sell past the date of a discontinued item. Also they need to find out when the last SKU number of that tape was shipped or sold in a local Lowes or ACE hardware near to or around the A's home, and could check credit card records by the A's to narrow down a purchase. I would hope SOMETHING in the home had a use for that duct tape if it was purchased by GA or CA. Why just a small piece of that tape on a gas can? Looks like a starter piece of tape to me. I do it all the time with tape, pull off some and cut a piece that is wrinkled or too long and stick it to something just for a place to get it off my fingers. I find it weird that there are none of Casy's prints on the gas can or the tape on it. The tape on the skull has been under water for so long that the prints dissolved along with the tissue.

 

[Whisperer]

I missed "the no fingerprints on gas cans"...
There was also no prints on the shed where they were stolen...
Looks like GA is wiping them off...

Every time I try to give somebody a "break" in this family they let me down....No more Mr. Nice Guy! umph!

In the court appearance just prior to this latest one, the appearance where she's got on the cream colored one-button sweater over the lavender knit, she looks down at her left elbow area and about jumps out of her chair; there's a lint thingy!!! on her arm and she frantically uses her right hand to brush it the ick!! off! I LMAO when I saw this; it's how I'd act if a spider was on me. The girl's pretty tightly wound, I'd say. And also obsessively neat. P.S. In one video where she's taping Caylee coloring, Caylee has a box of crayons and wants mama to interact with her. Upon realizing that KC isn't going to, again, interact with her, Caylee sighs and turns away to color. But any kid I ever knew would dump the box of crayons on the floor first thing. Caylee didn't. I found that also very telling, about the obsessively neat - white carpet-- I mean... really??

Sorry this is OT. Topics here don't tend to stay linear, at least in my mind. They tend to branch off and interconnect with other topics- it's in finding the connections, over and over, that we will best get the knowledge of WTF is going on in that family, in that girl, that she can coldly take the life of her baby, and coldly lie and destroy everybody who ever knew her.

You know this is interesting. My niece has OCD and is extremely neat. She is constantly cleaning. Everything has to be in it's place literally. We started noticing her young daughter (I think she was like 3, 4 or 5 at the time) started picking it up too. She would cry when other kids would come play and take out her toys and made it messy. It started to get as bad as her mother. My niece recognized this and got herself into therapy so her daughter would not continue to get worse also. Therapy worked and both are doing much better. Although, many signs are still there, that they both struggle with this still.
So, when you say that about caylee and the crayons, I can imagine when KC was home alone with Caylee, she never wanted her to make a mess. It would have been a dead giveaway they had been there during the day. Kc had to make sure there was no trace of them having been home while GA and CA were at work.

 

[Whisperer]

I bet the duct tape was in the car and kc used a stainless steel steak knife to cut it.
I have a set of stainless steak knives and they look just like your stainless dinnerware.
Cindy most likely removed the tape from the car when she cleaned the knife....bet she gave the LE a dinner knife instead of a steak knife.

 

[Skully]

Well if the tape was not in a bag or in plain site, the guy at the towing yard may remember if he saw it in the truck or seat area.

 

[Whisperer]

Are they allowed to go inside the car and look around? Do they inventory a car? Seems unlikely but may be procedure...

 

[Whisperer]

I don't know why but I always had it in my mind that she used a steak knife to cut the tape and needed to have the tape with her at the disposal. She may have even used it on the outside of the bag.... We can only hope.

It's more than suspicious. It's downright un-American.

Duct tape, WD-40, and tie wire.

If these three things weren't available, I am sure that my dwelling would fall down around my ears. :biglaugh: I find it very suspicious that there was not one roll of duct tape in the Anthony home. Not even one roll? Wonder how that happened? Especially since GA seemed to be very careful about home matinence.

 

[Skully]

But the A's didn't know until after there return from CA that there was a connection to the tape, and LE and FBI sealed off the house and took everything they could find. So I am thinking the tape may have come from some other location.
