I am sure she probably was annoyed, but those eyebrows make her look mad no matter what.

Everything I am reading states 3 boxes and a paper bag of undetermined stuff. Maybe we'll find out in a little bit...

Agreed that this is probably at least in part a fibers search. For me personally, all they have to do is tie the body the carpeting in the trunk of the car. Linking the body to the house won't do much for me because the defense will have an easier time to argue this down. However, if there...

Somewhat seperate issue from DNA - Dr G seemed to think there was no tissue left - meaning that they are probably relying on the hair strand itself to give up information if drugs were excreted into the hair as it grew (a common example of this type of testing is for cocaine - I have a friend...

Because hair, unless a root (bit of tissue) is attached, does not have nuclear DNA.

Remember, the court order was to release any tips they had closed the investigation on - so these particular tips could either be released later than Oct or not released yet. I suspect they will be shortly though...

Teeth can fall out as a normal part of decomp, and the medical examiner will need to look at that because it will be easy to tell if force was used. The duct tape wouldn't have been touching the teeth if it was put on when the skin was present. As decomp progressed, the could have fallen out of...

Saw this article today and thought of this case / thread. Some kids’ cold medicine overdoses deliberate Report finds children overmedicated on purpose to keep them quiet http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28303376/

It is to their credit that OCSO is being straightforward and honest in this situation. If mistakes were made, it is always best to own up to them as soon as possible.

"Steve Triggs, Director of Communications for Orange County, said the meter reader had been a county employee for a “relatively short time” and would appear at a news conference with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Friday afternoon. Triggs said he is being represented by outside counsel at...

Re the clothing - Orlando Sentinel has started reporting the following: ""The sheriff responded to a question on the first day regarding any clothing being present and he replied that there was none at this time, in other words [it is] too early to tell.""...

I'm undecided on the bagging timeline - but I am convinced it either happened soon after death, or after about 36+ hours - or twice - the body would go through rigor mortis in that time frame, and it would not be easy to stuff it in a bag. If the bagging happened days after death, I think it was...

I believe it can happen. However, I am not sure about the whole baby teeth /permanenet teeth relationship affecting this, etc. I'm searching some forensics journals on this to see if I get any hits. I do know they can tell if teeth have been removed before / after death. In other cases...

Sorry if I missed this, but is the date supposed to be 2008? It is out of sequence if not (on the doctsoc link only http://www.docstoc.com/docs/1474095/Calls-for-Service-to-4937-Hopespring-Drive), and that is strange, but maybe just a programming issue and the other post above is correctly ordered?

If you read the forensics report released awhile ago from the FBI, there was dirt of soem sort in the trunk. You can bet they are looking to make any link they can to that car and the remains, so I agree with you completely here. Other info/investigation may come out of it based on the first...
