Casey Anthony General Discussion Thread #158

[jennyb]

Anybody know what Tony was studying in college?

 

[susiemc]

None of her friends knew she wasn't working...so they'd not have thought that I'd assume...

I just thought it was interesting because I was thinking maybe only a few people knew her whole "going to get mom and dad's house" story...when now it seems like maybe she was telling everyone that.

I'm certainly curious about what G/C said when LE must have questioned them on the house "stuff"

I would guess that they were already rather familiar with her propensity to mishandle the truth. I would also guess that they would agree to whatever she said to make her look better. That seems to have been their m.o.

I did. Am going to contact them to find out if they have done comparison testing, such as dog/human, chimpanzee/human, i.e., mammal to mammal and ask them what the difference is related to the air studies.

That would be an interesting conversation let me know how it goes. No question about human to animal dna difference though, their different. Unfortunately they bth smell bad but different when decomp sets in.

 

[CHICANA]

Putrefaction aka decomposition:

Just did some research on this and found some interesting information. Main components are putrescine and cadaverine. These molecules are produced by decaying animals. Yes, you read that correctly, animals. Nothing that I found reports anything unique to human decomposition as compared to any other animal that is decomposing.

I have been thinking about the air test. Being a Bio/Chem major, I couldn't quite understand the importance or urgency of the air test, since to me an animal is an animal.

I see a problem here, at least until confirmed final forensics unrelated to air testing is received. What do you think?

Isabelle,

I was wondering about that and I totally agree with you.
I'm still waiting on the DNA.

Of course they have done this. This testing is on behalf of the FBI. You need to contact them why?

 

[ThoughtElf]

Could the psychiatrist's have assumed Casey's peers would shun her & she would likely gravitate to younger 'friends?'

Perhaps some of her responses set off alarm bells & caused them to add the stipulation.

It's odd because there are no younger siblings who would have friends coming over to the home.... so were they specifically anticipating she'd make contact via the internet???

There are so many missing pieces to the puzzle....

All possibilities.

What I took away from the discussion last night were more questions:
1. if the mental evaluation pointed to an initial DX of sociopathy, would the youth contact bond restriction also be a given?
2. If the dx was something like narcissistic personality disorder, then would that combined with the lies imply to the judge that she should be kept away from children due to the inherrant nature of 'manipulation' that goes along with this dx?

I have been thinking abut these things and others since yesterday

I don't see any problem at all. I think evey talking head forensic scientist has discussed the accuracy of this test, and I seriously doubt LE would ever report it if it wasn't something that both sides would agree to in court (meaning the defense couldn't say it was junk science).

I think there would have to be a difference. Otherwise, all meat would taste the same, and it doesn't.

if cindy was telling george for the 1st time that caylee was missing during the 911 calls, how is it that he mentioned to the tow co. owner PRIOR to the 911 calls that they had just found his daughter but his grandaughter was missing?

That is interesting.

Sure it wasn't Flight school maybe.

 

[SuziQ]

So far, the only differentiation I can find is between animal and plant.

Will wait to hear from Dr. Bass.

Isabelle,
Ray'sMom

Well then, keep us posted.

 

[AutomaticAuttie]

It's a pill, but I can't remember if it's a downer or an upper.

It's ephedra, and use to be able to buy them over the counter at like gas stations and mini marts.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Have you read up on the body farm where the testing was done? If you do you will understand the importance of decomp, air test, soil, and the dogs. Great science.

I totally agree. It is the leading forensic bio lab in the country. Forward thinking brought them to where they are and they are highly respected. Their goal: Determine stages of death...in EVERY way to determine forensic standards.

 

[shadow of my mind]

Sure it wasn't Flight school maybe.

Same thought crossed my mind.

 

[jennyb]

This whole house thing was pretty grandiose. Kids that age usually rent, unless they're Rockefellers. CA always went for the *big* lie.

 

[Pondering Mind]

Just for the record, what are yellow jackets? It just sounds so old-school, like Quaaludes!

well..back in my day, yellow jackets were diet pills/speed and/either seconal or nembutal, can't remember which IIRC. Ahhmm..not that I would have any personal knowledge of that of course

Lanie

What? Explain please

 

[LI_Mom]

I don't think it was specific to her particular situation, more of a *boilerplate* restriction. Doubt it was given much thought, it was just in the list in relation to all people held on that charge.

Ok, I just thought people were saying it was an oddity.

That makes PERFECT SENSE. Thanks to all who responded.

Lanie

True.

But the end product of putrefaction in all animals is putrescine and cadavarine. These are the compounds that are measured in the air test. They are the result of breakdown of certain amino acids.

OK--thanks! I think if they do ephedra to get high, they probably won't be adverse to coke or meth...those detectives are pretty smart! I think in my next life I would love to be one of those guys. They are my heroes.
