Hello Val. Hello all.

Anyone,

Wondering … Would, could any form of chloroform exist in freon or the composition of a refrigerant, or in condensation of crystals formed in a freezer? Say, like the one the Anthonys have (had) in their garage?

Thank you very much, btw. You/this site/the posters are exceptional. (“IMO”)

I also believe this preparation may have included Casey rinsing Caylee’s body in the pool.

Woobabie,

Here is the part I’m referring to in the bug report link that is at the beginning of this. Thanks.

I can’t understand how the tape would have adhered to the body after decomp began. There would be no way to dry the face first because if you tried to wipe the skin it would just slide off along with maggots which would quickly be replaced by more. In my imagination it would be like trying to dry raw maggot-infested hamburg and then stick duct tape on it. How could it stick? Thanks for any clarification if I’m on the wrong track.

Hi Valhall,

Can’t thank you enough for your comprehensive, scientific, insight into this case. You have taken all the hard work, broken it down and shared it with us in a way that some of us wouldn’t understand otherwise. This has been a perplexing case for our country, as well as others, and it has wrenched our hearts.

Finally, we see the sunlight and truth is beginning to resonate loudly. I felt great peace and togetherness reading the comments of your followers. We are all so grateful to you.

I’m a first time blogger, but like many, have followed this case since its inception. Just couldn’t resist a personal thank you.

Thank you from my heart.

Thanks Valhall … I didn’t think of that about when the bugs were reproduced …
that’s right, the 18 latents …
Thanks again …

Dear Nana and den,

I’m not sure that any DNA results could be taken from the maggots or coffin flies because they would have been reproduced at a much later date than when Caylee’s body was in the trunk. Concerning the fingerprint results. It could be that it is sealed, but it could also be that the SA just hasn’t gotten to releasing that yet, and the defense hasn’t known until this release and is about to request it.

If you’ll remember, the defense requested the 18 latents the FBI had that had been lifted from the items in the Anthony home. But when they requested those 18 latents…that’s exactly what they requested EIGHTEEN. These latents referred to in this latest release are probably about to be requested by the defense.

Hi Valhall, do you think we’ll see any DNA results from the maggots/coffin flies? or will this be another piece of evidence that could be kept sealed until trial? Also, do you think the defense has this DNA results and fingerprint results which may also being sealed?
TIA

I first thought that KC was enraged and placed the tape over Caylee’s mouth to keep her from crying for Cindy. However, evidence being what it is, I find the scenario of the beginning stages of seepage from Caylee a viable reason for placing three pieces of tape over the mouth and nose area. Why not wind it around? Because to lift the head would have caused more seepage. Thus, three pieces of tape that could be placed around the head area. Seepage would have been a mild problem on the cheeks, hair and ear area if it was just beginning. I just remember the squirrel/smell comments/text messages from Casey to Amy. I’ll have to go back and see exactly what days she spoke of the smell and squirrels.

Valhall:

We have heard about the blowflies and the coffin flies casings and body parts but I don’t recall anything being said about the maggots themselves. Is it possible to gain DNA or a chemical analysis from the maggots that were found in the trashbag or were they too far gone by the time they were sent to the lab?
