Maybe she didn't abandon the car - Gas cans will solve the case.

[CarrieBean]

Yes and I believe the keys also.

I missed where it was stated that the keys were in the car.

I wonder if there is anyone out there who has actually ever had a dead squirrel plastered to the frame of their car? Is this even possible or doe it go against every law of physics? if you ran over it....nah...if it crawled up in the motor...nah..hmmmmm

Well, since you asked. In 1990 my Husband ran over a dead dog in a 1980 Firebird Espirit (Yellowbird Edition :crazy. The animal went under the car and actually did damage to the transimission. My Husband says the "meat" was all the way down the center of the car starting behind the front tires. He cleaned it up and although the transmission was still messed up there was absolutely no smell the next day. We just sold that car a few months ago.

And since I had to tell him why I was asking about it he states that a squirrel would not hit a frame of a car. If you hit a squirrel you hit it with your tire and it pretty much gets "plastered" to the road.

Didn't GVS elicit a long drawn out story about the return of the gas cans? I think it was George. Cindy seemed to be coaching??? Could be wrong. There's a bulletin

Maybe Casey was hoarding gas and needed extra gas cans to store it somewhere, hidden away, till she needed it for her plan. She could not count on having the $$ to buy it if and when she needed it.
If gas were an integral ingredient and necessary for her to execute her plot, she'd have to accumulate it ahead of time to be on the safe side.

For some reason the gas cans were a big deal for the As right from the beginning. They were aware that LE would look to somehow connect them to the car- IMO they were greatly concerned they were dealing with a crime scene.

All of us have to remember that when dealing with a sociopath, what happens in any situation is of no consequence to the sociopath as long as the sociopath gets to keep on doing what they want and getting what they want. For the most part, sociopaths don't sit around planning elaborate schemes to cover up what they have done, because in their mind, whatever they do is just fine. They only come up with a scheme when they are called on their actions or they realize that what they have done is so heinous they need a plan in place to cover their actions.

Luzer - if you don't currently have a PHD in psychology, and if you aren't currently employed by the FBI as a profiler, then you should officially be awarded both for that statement!! You have nailed it!!! :clap:

 

[CarrieBean]

Must have been one of those flying squirrels

 

[RR0004]

I missed where it was stated that the keys were in the car.

Somewhere in all the docs, I read the As were unable to open the trunk, though, at the lot because they didn't have the key.

 

[RR0004]

Well, I do too but I was wondering if anyone had heard any more solid info as to when TES was coming back to Orlando. If we could just find where she put her, she surely would be answering for what she has done.

It may have stated when in the interview they had posted last night. I didn't get the chance to listen to it.

Somewhere in all the docs, I read the As were unable to open the trunk, though at the lot, because they didn't have the key.

GA had the keys to the car. He & the lot mgr. opened the trunk, found the bag of trash (maggots & pizza) threw it over the fence into the tow yard dumpster, where LE retrieved it the 16th & sent it to the labs. George then put gas in the car, rolled down the windows & drove it home.

 

[CarrieBean]

pg 56, 17290449.pdf

"George Anthony used a key to unlock the white Pontiac's drivers side door."

Then goes on to say

"George Anthony and Mr. Birch went to the white Pontiac's trunk in an attempt to locate the source of the odor. George Anthony opened the trunk and he and Mr. Birch observed a white garbage bag..."

Nothing about the key being in the car.

 

[SuziQ]

I don't think she did go home at all. I think whoever she stayed with that night before has a Tyson chicken and a freezepops missing.

Tony said in his statement that KC spent the night before at his house. That she left early in the morning and said she was coming back. Then she called him and he picked her up around 11am.

Do we have the time when the check cashing store opened? According to the timeline thread, Casey stayed all night with AL on the 26th. Why would she be out at 7AM?

I wonder if the 7AM sighting is too early.

I can see Casey leaving the apartment when AL left to go to school. She trotted over to her parents' house to grab some groceries to be able to cook for AL. I wonder what culinary delight she was going to make with the popsicles???????????

She may or may not have had a confrontation with one or both of the parents. I am guessing Cindy was at work and George was not yet at work. She could have told him she needed some groceries for Caylee and herself, and took the popsicles to lend credence for a Caylee menu.

Then, coming back to AL, she ran out of gas. She called him, abandoned the car and got on with her life.

 

[Cher352]

Here's the gas can that JJ found on one of the searches.

EDIT: I guess it doesn't look as new as I thought. There's white stuff (probably from the sun) on the top. hummm

I don't know, looks rather new to me too, for being out in FL swamp land with all the bugs and stuff. Stuff molds up pretty quick too, maybe that is what the white stuff was.

 

[Spangle]

Somewhere in all the docs, I read the As were unable to open the trunk, though, at the lot because they didn't have the key.

I thought I read that it was opened at the tow yard and a white trash bag with trash in it was taking out and thrown over the fence. The LE later came and retrieved it. (trash)

That particular check cashing store is open 24/7.

But the squirrel would just go under the tires. Interesting she knows what happens when a human is struck at a high enough rate of speed, depending on size.

How freakin big was this squirrel.

Now don't forget - there were two freakin big squirrels involved. inocchio:

Also - Hello Sleuthers. I'm new and I love your site. :blowkiss:

 

[tx_Dot]

There is also the possiblity that the shed was broken into during that time. Only the gas cans were not stolen. GA reported what he seen missing. Not knowing his daughter took them days earlier.

Could be, I always thought it was strange there wasn't a "key on a hook" to this outside lock, that the family knew about.

We have three outside locks & all keys are kept in one place & you better PUT THEM BACK after you've used them. (nat. I do have spares hid...LOL)

 

[Cher352]

I think it was the tow man that said that to GA when he walked out to the car with him and was telling GA about the smell.

Thank you. Being around a sociopath, I have seen how one works. It is so hard to remember that what the rest of us live and breathe by, means absolutely nothing to a sociopath.

Yep, & Yep..........(poster musta mis-read something)
