[TotallyObsessed]

The squirrel surprised him by not really having much of an odor!! :great:

NO ODOR Cindy, hear that? NO ODOR

 

[eaglemom]

Squirrel didn't smell like decomp - no signature decomp like suplpha compounds (I think that is what we said).

Did you use laser induced spectrascopy (LIBS) - non-destructive technique? - yes

 

[jennyb]

My guess is they will try to discredit Vass as a crackpot, talking about his flies on a leash. I hope they try this, anyway. I really, really do! BWAHAHAHA!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Baez didn't accuse him of being a war criminal or something. Seriously, he's that low.

 

[PassTheMotrin]

Now talking about substance on paper towels

 

[SuziQ]

The paper towel had gravewax on it didn't it?

 

[Salem]

Fly popaue LOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[Chiquita71]

did you receive a paper towel with a substance on it?
yes. large amounts of fly pupae on them. wanted to know what attracted the flies to those paper towels.

 

[OnlineInstructor]

Please put the camera on her now!

 

[SideKick]

Paper Towel!..... Casey quickly looks down.........

 

[Chiquita71]

what was revealed about the stain?

they were large parts of grave wax.

 

[logicalgirl]

Talking about grave wax - a combination of fatty acids (on paper towels)

 

[TotallyObsessed]

The ball is over the fence, out of the park, down the road, out the door, over the hill, around the corner.

HOME RUN TEAM CAYLEE

 

[eaglemom]

Haskell sent him paper towells - did menthanol extraction on stained and non stained portions - chromatagraph showed adipociere (grave wax)

 

[yeknomaras]

omg.... BOMBSHELL on the paper towels

 

[TiaM]

You know those pesky squirrels...always climbing into trunks of cars and dying and decomposing...

Yep - but Baez will want to ask him if it decomposed in the FL sun as opposed to the TN sun, and whether or not there was a bag of garbage containing pizza and cheese also on the carpet! :banghead:

 

[jharres]

Grave wax on the paper towels. Did I catch that right?

 

[cloud9]

Paper towels were tested, most interesting was the grave wax!!!

 

[Tiki]

I love Dr. V.! he can explain this science so that a totally non-scientific artist can understand. It's sooooo interesting!

.

 

[Chiquita71]

the largest part of what he saw as a stain on the paper towel ended up being grave wax.

 

[wenwe4]

Paper towels had fly pupae on them. Stains on paper towels we did a methonol extraction of stained and unstained portions of paper towels. number of compounds there most interesting, very large, adipocere - grave wax - 14 acids - with both saturated and unsaturated compounds there.

Peer reviewed literature - Dr. Sherry Forbes in Canada - world expert 2002 and 2005 papers state those particular fatty acids are what you see in adipocere.
