Fwiw there appear to be 2 prime candidates for retern trips. The first one described by JWG almost appears as a getting-her-courage-up exercise, in contrast to the second trip which was very direct & purposeful (i.e. No looping that we can see and she called Ryan and Ryan only.)
I certainly get the hesitancy to envision Casey getting out amongst the remains. Per the rainfall I posted above I suspect the area was beginning to get pretty wet if not already a little standing water. However, I've also come to see Casey as acting only when necessary for self-preservation. IOW... Casey dint drag her arse out there @ 4:50AM for nothin' IYKWIM.
Perhaps the loss of the car was a reality check that had her ueber-paranoid about her ultra-stooopid-spur-of-the-moment-outta-convenience choice of a disposal site. :waitasec: and it took a characteristically unplanned trip to the site to attempt a move for reality to smack her 'tween the eyes. 3 steps off the shoulder of the road...starting to sink in the mud...and *boom* outta there. :takeoff:

Seems right on to me-When I used to be out too late as a teenager, I would circle the block around our house to see if the lights were on before I would actually pull in. It would not have made a difference, I was either busted or I wasn't, but I wanted control and advanced notice of my troubles!
The trouble KC made was a thousand times beyond staying out past curfew-She was definately worried. You would think she would know not to make phone calls, but she made enough calls for us to be able to follow her around town on almost a minute to minute basis! The call to Ryan had to be triggered by her state of mind, he was a "safe," comfort contact.
Did she get out of the truck? Hard to tell, I would say if a particular object can be singled out that puts her there later, we got a connection to the actual site.

The ping pros can answer you on the technical end, but for my part I am not basing my assumption on the pings alone-When I look at the big picture and KC's whereabouts that day and especially the day before (when she would have found her car missing), I find it quite plausible that she did visit at least the remains area, if not the actual bag.
Initially I thought the same as you wrote above, or that she was just driving by her parents' house to see if maybe cops were there. However, there are certain changes in her behavior after this night/morning that I believe could be a result of her observing the body.
I wrote earlier that I would need to know if she left something there in order to be 100% certain she revisited the remains-And that still holds true, it is the only way to know for sure. But as you already know, we have to fill in certain blanks, which seems okay as long as we use common sense and logic, not gossip and mistatements.

All of the above was bolded by me = DG
If we go by what the experts tell us then many times criminals DO revisit the scene of their crimes. So if we guesstimate that KC is in that category(revisiting crime scene), and we have pings that put her in that area under the cover of darkness-when she is least likely to be detected, and she is in a different vehicle, (that too would give her a feeling of being incognito).
What if she did leave something behind and was going to go back and try to find it. I am sure she was also just checking the area but that's not the only reason she could have gone back. For the sake of debate, lets say that she had on her tiffany heart ring(or any small ring for that matter) when she dumped Caylee. But days later she realizes she cannot find that ring. I went through some pictures on the WFTV site and I noticed that in the photo of Casey laying on her back with her knees bent up where Caylee is laying on her bent legs(Caylee is in the striped shorts), in that photo KC has a ring on her
right hand, it is a smaller width ring, but I cannot make out if it is the heart ring. However, going through the rest of the photos, the ones where KC is at Fusion, in her black dress and another night in her blue dress (hot body contest night-can't remember the dates). In those photos, she has
no rings on her right hand but she does have a very wide ring on her left hand. So the ring she is wearing in the Fusion pics is clearly NOT the little ring she is wearing in the picture of her with Caylee.
What if she lost this little ring at the dump site? I would imagine if you are in the process of dumping your murdered baby, you would NOT notice if a ring slipped off your finger!
Check it out yourselves. Picture #13 of 96 and pic#56 of 96 are of KC and Caylee, and KC has on a little ring on her right hand.

Then in pic #83 + 84 (Black dress at Fusion) she is not wearing the little right hand ring but is wearing a large LEFT hand ring. I do not know the date of this picture but I am pretty sure it was AFTER June 16th.
Then in pic#69, 71, 74, 88, she is in the blue dress at Fusion (hot body contest night) and she has on the large left hand ring again but
NO little right hand ring. This picture I know for sure was taken after June 16th.

Also in pic #67, 96, it sure looks to me like she has NO panties on. I have never seen these pics before. It just struck me as "wow......really? you are supposedly looking for clues about the nanny who snatched your baby and you are doing it with no panties??!!!" Sorry....it's just another shaking my head moment (one of many with KC).

OK, bear with me, I know this is a long post. But going through these photos, I got to pic#36 of 96, which is the dark jungle looking picture with a pathway in the center. The word love is scrawled across the top which allows only the legs of a girls jeans to be visable standing in the pathway into the jungle. It seems to me when we have extraordinary, stressful, traumatic, remarkable -- whatever label you want to put on it, when those events in our lives happen, our brains mark them and then when we come across something that reminds us of that event, we are drawn to it, if it is a picture, we want that picture. I think that is what happened with this picture. I think KC kept this pic b/c it reminded her of the area where she dumped Caylee and possibly of her night time trip back there in the dark. Does anyone know how to get the date that KC added this "jungle love" picture to her account? If so....it sure would be something if it could be proven it was AFTER June 16th wouldn't it?...since it is so reminiscent of the dump site she used.
Since I've gone this far I may as well keep going. Pic#32 is of "WTP Tiger" made out of flowers (like for a float), and Caylee had WTP theme in her room right? OK...so then pic #38 is of a real tiger who is sitting near his recent kill, guarding it or watching over, proud of his kill and it looks like he is resting after eating his fill of his kill. Now, does anyone else remember very early on in this case there was a picture that looked like KC had photo shopped the real tiger into the "jungle love" picture? Because I do remember seeing that. But at that time I didn't see where the real tiger came from......that it was a pic of a tiger looking satisfied by his kill of an innocent animal. Knowing that KC did that....now, that gives me the willys. Like, she was not only the "jeans girl" in the jungle love pic but the tiger too, IDK.....I can't explain it. I'll try to find the pic with the tiger photo shopped in.

Anyway.....wondering if KC lost her little right hand ring and went back in someone else's car (AL's?) to look for it in the middle of the night as well as checking to make sure she had hidden Caylee's body well. Maybe she couldn't go through with it, or maybe she saw a little of her dirty deed and got scared off.....who knows, but I do think she tried to go in there.....whether she stayed is another story. Just thought I'd bring this stuff to everyones attention as I think that little ring falling off at the dump site is a possibility.
MOO
