If Caylee died say 8:00pm 16th. Decomposing in trunk 2.6 days means removed from trunk on the moring of 19th, say 8-9am? This does not agree with known visit back at G &C's? You know better than I do. Don't pings etc place her away from A's all day? Body had to be not in plastic bag up untill then., then bagged in plastic. You say after visiting Chris that day in the evening, which is later than forensics suggest for decomp in the trunk. The body transfer between cars and the plastic bagging on the street? Plastic bagging on 18th is too soon for decomp evidence. I am struggling with the transfering to the Jeep part. Exactly when and where does that take place and why?? Why not dump from her own car soon after bagging. Or even be stupid and drive around for 1 or more days with a corpse, but no longer leaking decomposition fluids because of the plastic but, just dump from her own car?
Also if AL's jeep had a touch of the same juice that stank up KC's car, why didn't he and the rest of Orange County notice it? Does it stink even a little now? Was Tony complicit? It didn't seem so from the texts on morning 16th July.
I quite like the build up and nature of death scenario. I still struggle with the inclusion of chloroform, and it is hard to see patent medicines actually working very well as knock out potions.
I'm sure you have more questions than I have answers...

...and I have plenty more questions myself.
RE: "2.6 days".
Lemme take a hack at it and I'll ask JWG to fix where I may stray...my apologies if it goes a bit OT, but, relevant to understanding how the forensics are used to support any theory.
I owe JWG and Bev a big TY for helping me understand the accumulated-degree-days (ADD) information that most know of as "2.6 days". This # is arrived at as a total of the elapsed temperature-time conditions following death. After the 2.6 figure was released JWG noted that the temperatures that were used as inputs may have been off a bit when compared to more detailed Orlando temperatures that were otherwise available.
So, JWG created a spreadsheet populated w/ 5-minute interval Orlando temperatures for the entire period of interest. After bouncin' it around a bit, we found some research on the web that had been done comparing the interior temperature of a car trunk vs. ambient temperatures vs. time of day, and incorporated (a) simulated trunk temps for each 5-minute interval, and (b) the ability to mathematically take the body in & out of the trunk to simulate the potential that it wasn't @ elevated temperatures if it had been moved...say...to the playhouse for example...for a period of time.
The end result of the above is IMHO, a more accurate assessment of the ADD data the body experienced than that which was provided to reach the 2.6 # in the released report. The actual target is 90 ADD. And using the compensated temperatures for the given time of death of 6/16 7:20PM we reach 90 ADD @ exactly 6/19 7:36PM (or 3.01 days)...and I gave a +/-1% range..so....7:01PM-8:19PM is the mathematical result. We don't know the exact time of medical death either...immediate...or slower organ failure that ultimate resulted in cardiac arrest...effect of heat/dehydration, etc. So, consider it a range. If you're interested, JWG can prolly tell you how many temperature input points were used to arrive @ the 2.6 days used in the released report. The spreadsheet we're using has 869 temperature input points.
Note that the time of day of death has an impact too, owing to a late PM death accumulating a cooler nighttime cycle of temperatures in the same amount of time as compared to a hotter daytime cycle.
Hope that helps.
RE: Pings.
The following is a 3.3 hour gap for which we have no data for Casey's whereabout via pings.
6/19/08 THU 5:45:39 PM
6/19/08 THU 9:02:02 PM
This timeframe (a) encompasses the time given by Chris S. for Casey's visit with him, and (b) ends @ 9:02 with the receipt of a numbered text. This suggests to me Casey powered off her phone and received a system message when she powered it back up. The 5:45PM ping is in the Waterford Ale House/Fusian area, and the 9:02PM ping is near Tony's apt.
