Heart Shaped Sticker And Duct Tape #3

[Marina2]

Can you give any idea of scale for the Sandylion stickers.

The picture comparison looked like a very good match, but would like to be reasureed about size.

Ok, I was way off!

Package Dimensions: W: 2.1'' x H: 7.97'' x D: 0.13''

Just firing up for the day. Thought I'd be picky with the bit bolded (just a small part of the post). Should read "similar sized"

Why do they word it that way H.P.? Is it because they need to write up a report even though all the tests are not complete?

In other words, they can't say "the exact heart that had been on the tape", (even though they strongly suspect it is), before they analyze it?

So the larger heart we were looking at should be about the right size to match the one found at the scene.

I found the Sandylion stickers online: "Discount Art Supplies"

Also, same package on Sandylion website. Wonder if LE bought some?

Field trip to Walgreens!!

I know, right. There's a Walgreen's less than a mile from me with these heart stickers in stock. (yes, I checked!) I was almost in the car before I said "Stop it, Marina! and went back in the house.:crazy:

Or they are pretty sure it was NOT the same heart that had been on the tape, because it is made of a rigid material and is stuck fast to a piece of cardboard.

Lol, I had the same idea!

It looks like it would be. The smaller ones could match those on her cell phone and look like the same type.

What???? Get back in the car!!! Or I am going tonight!

We have rules against contacting "players" in the case, not against contacting "stickers" in the case.

Very rough calculation on what we have got suggests largest sticker is about the right size. I calculate a little over 3/4"

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Only because we really, really want it to.

We can conjecture that the sticker, not sticky enough to stay on the duct tape (but sticky enough to leave a residue that remained on the "worn surface" of the tape for six months) fell off, then traveled twice as far as the remains were from the curb through underbrush that would discourage a small rodent, re-attached itself securely to a piece of wet, dirty cardboard, and waited patiently to be discovered.

Or we can conjecture that finding a heart sticker of a common size and shape, in an obvious trash dump site in the middle of a huge residential development, a few hundred ft. from an elementary school isn't really all that much of an anomaly.

The discovery of both a "heart shaped residue" and a "similar" heart shaped sticker is enough to drive any sleuthing addict into a true "foam at the mouth" frenzy, but sometimes coincidences do happen. I don't think that this one is all that improbable.

But there's heart shaped residue on the duct tape which had been around Caylee's mouth. What caused that? Even if no sticker was found?

Can you find any pictures of those smaller stickers on KC's cell phone? I found one pic on this thread with Annie's cell phone stickers, but there were both hearts and (I think) stars on hers. I haven't found any pics of KC's cell phone stickers.

No, I think they are genuinely trying to be precise. Funny old thing the english language.

They are saying that the only "match" was in regards to size. Not colour, or type or paper vs metalic vs "gem". Just the same size.

The gem sticker is the same size, but also the sticker that came off the backing found in Dopey's room is the same size.

 

[Marina2]

Lol, I had the same idea!

No doubt I'll be stopping by on my home from work tomorrow in spite of the self control I showed today.
You know, there's only one heart in that pack that matches the one at the scene. I'm going to keep my eye out for the other ones in Anthony photo's.

The Second Sticker!

Possibly the one that came off the little cut-out sticker backing that was on top of the things in Caylee's memorabilia box.

Which (just to confuse us all) happens to be about the same size as the epoxy heart sticker found at the scene on a piece of cardboard matting.

Cell phone stickers are very small. We run into a problem of scale.

As a cautionary note I refer you to Douglas Adams description of the war between opposing galactic races and their joint attack on Earth - the G'Gugvuntts and Vl'hurgs. Due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire battle fleet was swallowed by a small dog.

I was just thinking: I live in a house who's original owner got in the habit of using the edge of the property to dispose of small items. I've lived here for 14yrs and I'm still finding those items-especially metal and plastic!

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Or they are pretty sure it was NOT the same heart that had been on the tape, because it is made of a rigid material and is stuck fast to a piece of cardboard.

Which may be why LE hightailed it back to the A's house after the discovery.

They went in search of the actual sticker sheet/backing. O'KAY I'LL CATCH UP - DUH!

No problem of scale, because we are looking for anywhere KC might have used the OTHER stickers on that sheet, to connect her to the epoxy heart sticker found at the scene.

Some of the other stickers on that sheet are very small.

Aren't they looking at the adhesive on the back of the stickers /vs that on the area on the duct tape?
There could be thousands of the those heart stickers everywhere. Even some from the same lot being sold in the Orlando area. I am not sure it really means all that much.
