Some of the pieces are still not fitting together for me, particularly use of the jeep and the source of the trash bag.
The jeep
First, why did she borrow the jeep? What reason did she give Tony?
Didn't she tell Tony her Dad was going to pick the car up from amscot & fix it.??
Driving south from Chris S. to dump the body near her parents seems to me like she is kind of going out of the way. She was not down that way all day. Why not dump the body near Chris S.? Lot's of locations there.
Based on where the body was found, it does not seem that KC would need to back a vehicle into the location to dump the body, but even if she did, she would not need the jeep. Pictures of the curb do not look substantial - the Pontiac should have no trouble backing into there. If someone can find real clear pictures of the curb showing otherwise, please point me to them.
The bag
Bagging the body in the
garbage bag on the 19th works from the ADD perspective. Fluids would leak through the laundry bag, but not a garbage bag.
Very easy to poke hole in g-bag, besides it also *looks* like trash.
But where did she get the bag? I had personally assumed that if she got it from Tony's, it would be a white kitchen bag. He's single, small apartment, has a nearby dumpster. He is not going to accumulate a ton of garbage each day. I'd be willing to bet he only had the white kitchen bags and had no need for the larger black bags.
So maybe she got the bags from her parents. The search warrant does not say what color the pull handles were, but the forensic narrative does say that a black bag with yellow pull handles was put into evidence back in July, and Yuri checked it out of the evidence room on December 16. So LE is looking for a match.
IIRC, CA gave LE some evidence from the home in a g-bag, looks like they kept the bag too.
But KC did not go to her parent's home on the 19th, meaning if the bag came from the home, then she got it on the 16th, 17th, 18th, or 20th.
Why get the bag early if it is not needed? I don't see her planning ahead on this one. But getting the bag on the 20th is too late. I don't see the body farm being off by a full day (30+%) on this one...although anything is possible.
The knife
Another odd little thing that has puzzled me is the source of the kitchen knife. Cindy removed it from the car along with a number of other items. Maybe she washed it, maybe not, but she apparently did not put it in with her dinnerware, because she was able to easily locate it and give it to Det. Beasley along with the other items.
My guess is because it was not one of Cindy's knives. I believe it was probably one of Tony's knives. Already lot's of speculation, which I think is valid, that KC used the dinner knife to cut the duct tape. So this would lead me to believe the duct tape was applied at Tony's and not her parent's.
I think it is important to know
for certain whether the dinner knife was from the Anthony's or not.
Did we ever find out if this is butter knife or like from a set of (sharp) kitchen knives ?? maybe since CA had already mentioned a knife, she just grabbed one to give to LE ??
The duct tape
Where did the duct tape come from? I know that LE is looking for a match with tape from her parent's home, including tape found on the gas cans. Having a match would be very useful to the prosecution's case. But, why get the tape from one location and the instrument to cut it from another location? Could she have instead taken the tape from Tony's? Would she already have the tape based on the text from Amy indicating KC had Amy's duct tape? Would she have purchased the tape on her own (I think this is unlikely)? Would she have taken the tape from her parents with the intention of using it later?
Wonder if Amy duct tape was almost used up ?? Also nowdays they're selling smaller rolls of duct tape.
I think again that finding the source of the dinner knife can help nail the source of the tape. Guess I will need to reread the Cindy interviews to see if she
might have said it was one of theirs.
