ITA - the fact that Yuri went to check the garbage bag left at the towyard right after talking to GA means he was already checking to see if it could have possibly even been garbage. It would also suggest that GA was already offering the garbage bag story to downplay the reason for the car smell.
Cat brought something interesting up to me in an earlier conversation. Yuri is a Missing Persons officer and naturally was focused on seeing if he could find Caylee in those first critical hours he was assigned (even though 31 days had already passed). He spent his time exhausting all the red herrings KC gave him driving around that night and into the wee morning hours (although he did go to the towyard to retrieve the bag). I don't know about LE protocol, but after GA was interviewed and the car smell became a factor, perhaps he needed to wait for John Allen to arrive to start a homicide investigation, at which point the car - even though its chain of custody had been obviously ruined - would be of eventual interest. Maybe someone familiar with LE investigative protocol might know more.
I'm with you guys. I posted the hearing so everyone could hear Yuri. These videos may help even more understand what the detectives were doing that morning. If you haven't time to listen to them all, listen to part five. IT IS VERY COMPELLING. Yuri said that after interviewing Casey and following up on her leads and coming to the glaring realization that everything she was saying and every place all over town she was taking them to was lies and fruitless, they came to understand that they needed to look into other possibilities.( The baby was likely dead.) They were going everywhere with Casey in the car, for hours, to all of the locations she claimed to have dropped Caylee off to Zanny....Sawgrass, the nursing home, to other neighborhoods, literally door to door at one complex, they went through her phone and talked to her for hours on end, pulled up Zenaida Gonzalez on their database and showed Casey photos......and let's not forget the colorful stunt up at Universal. Only God knows how much time that wasted. Before taking Casey up there, they had already been up there and talked to security and management, been to every single place she told them about, talked to several of her friends....as they had already made many, many, many investigative phone calls. This was at four, five, six, seven, eight, nine a.m. , etc.
They got her to admit to child endangerment and neglect and gathered enough evidence to have her charged and arrested. For me they did an amazing job doing so; because, they were able to arrest her and keep her from running away. What they did that morning and the end result I am proud of. All day long.
The amount of time and energy and honest to goodness devoted efforts that the detectives spent on these wild goose chases both Casey and mom and pop sent them on is unforgivable, imo. The jury is going to be wholly offended by that!!!! I have nothing but respect for John, Eric, Yuri and all of the good, good people who worked tirelessly on this case.
The delay in having the car picked up is going to pale in comparison to 31 DAYS!!!!!!!:furious::furious: Listen to this girl lie through her teeth to these detectives who are trying to find her daughter. When the jury hears this......it is OVER. It is certain.

At the time they were at Universal with Casey, they had Ricardo, his room mate and other friends of Casey's down at the station being questioned by other detectives. They had people dispatched to several locations already following up on leads. It was a massive undertaking, within a few short hours. I am thrilled they arrested her. ( Here we are a year later and no arrest has been made regarding Haighley for example.) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rA4nBgphfQ[/ame]
Any delay in having the car picked up certainly pales in comparison to two years that have went by and the defense has yet to examine evidence or depose the state's witnesses. Everything is relative.:furious::furious:
When he testifies, the jury is going to find him far more credible than mom and pop combined. If anything, the jury is going to be quietly thinking, Yuri......
I am with you. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyMjA2XVRH4[/ame]
