I believe we learned early on that the pool was closed (from Lauren, I believe). It's in an earlier thread. However, that doesn't mean that they drained it. Restrictions were supposed to be easing soon (don't know if the pool ever opened). Indoor pools can be locked off to hotel residents without draining them.
Phone or truck GPS. Once reset, the truck began to record again. The phone never stopped using GPS, IMO.
No way are these two women doing this for free. Scott Reisch (Crimetalk) has mentioned several times how much he thinks is the minimum spent by Barry so far.
Barry probably gave a very large sum of money to his defense team. Under CO law, this cannot be grabbed by the State to pay off a legal judgment (should anyone sue Barry), and the defense can continue to bill against it all the way through appeal (unless Barry fires them). One lawyer here on WS opined that the hourly rate was probably around $600/hour.
I do not remember anything about the defense asking for more money. I do remember the Judge (in his order about the AA) saying that spending time on all the evidence right now (in order to redact the AA) was too expensive.
When I get my car serviced at the dealer, one of the techs opens the glove compartment, takes out my owner's manual and records the service in the back.
When I go to look at used cars, the salesman always points proudly to this record to prove that the car was properly maintained by a dealer (which gives the ability to buy a cheaper used car warrantee). When I ask a question about the precise HP or milage, the salesman opens the glove box and gets the owners' manual out.
If I give the mechanic I go to now the valet key to the car, he puts it into the glove box. Since this DNA match is partial (and a mix of several persons DNA - including the person at the factory who put the manual in there in the first place), it's worthless at pointing to any particular person. There's one case where manufacturer employee DNA in China confused local LE (made them think they were looking for an Asian perp) and it took a long time to explain and disentangle how this was not an appropriate read of the DNA.
This is an important question. DNA from people involved in manufacturing processes have been found on items up to 10 years later (and each year, there's more evidence that it can be longer). Over time, the DNA breaks up into little bits, which is why there's "mixed" DNA but actual DNA is pretty hard to destroy (even bleach won't do the job completely, there are better chemical).
Lots of study of how many times something can be washed before all the DNA is gone, too. 8 months in this study:

Naturally, it depends on the original amount. I'd love to know whether the DNA was on the outside or the inside of the glovebox (I predict outside) and whether the daughters ever used that particular RR. We do know from MM2's boyfriend's father that his son was up at the Morphew house quite a bit and I would presume he occasionally got a ride.
Anyway, all the different people who ever touched the glove box might leave DNA for quite a while. Further, some of the people in the mixture could be
women. The presence of one Y chromosome (or two) in the sample would make defense attorneys say it was a man, but the rest of the broken up DNA that they are "matching" to men could come from women. That's why it's a very poor technique for finding an unknown subject. Any DNA expert could easily explain this to a jury. But as we know, it only takes one anti-science person to refuse to understand/listen to the explanation.
If they could find all of them who might have touched the car over the years (it's 6 years old now) and get a subpoena for their DNA. Which would be very very hard to do. Instead, they're using CODIS to run partial DNA through.
But the turnover among the techs at dealerships is fairly high (the guy who changes cabin air filters is probably a trainee, has moved on long ago).
There was no evidence of a nose bleed - that idea was introduced by a WSer on this very thread.
Wasn't it said that upon digital enhancement, some small part of the top could be seen? Also, there's a time and GPS stamp on it that cannot be altered without the FBI knowing.
I believe it was left their from Saturday and a good going-over by a lab might have been able to show that...
My notes say he said "sat something down," not the cap.
() and probably missed some questions. I don't think that I will be able to read through all the recent threads, so if there is anything you have questions about, please re-post the question. I will try to keep up again starting now.
