There still seems to be some confusion here, so I have opted to change the title to clarify that my question asked has been answered in the negative. The pump the latents were taken from, which appears to be what was being referenced in the Activity and communication log quoted below, was taken from the Anthony home for the purposes of attempting to get latents or other evidence that could prove or disprove a “Zenaida”. Therefore, the item was not at the “crime scene” (i.e. dump site of Caylee’s remains). It was at what is most likely the real crime scene (the Anthony home).
Hope that clarifies this.
My friend, JWG, from Websleuths, has pointed out that he believes the Activity and Communication log from this latest document dump (page 450, link below) is referring to the pump on the inflatable bed when it states:
OCSO did lift latent prints & then finished proc’ing them so items will not be submitted for LPU as previously discussed.
After having this pointed out to me and re-reading the statement on the log, I tend to believe he is correct. So I wanted to update this to make sure I don’t spread more confusion.
It appears OCSO may have lifted a latent print (or more) from one or more of the items found at the crime scene. On page 450 of the uber-document we have an Activity and Communication Log concerning evidence to be received and processed in by the FBI on March 5th that states:
OCSO did lift latent prints & then finished proc’ing them so items will not be submitted for LPU as previously discussed.
When we look at the list of evidence processed in at the FBI lab on March 5th (page 451) we find the following items:
Q297-Q298 – swabs from bottom of gas container #1
Q299-Q300 – swabs from interior of oil pan
Q301-Q302 – swabs from bottom of gas container #2
Q303 – swab from clean wipes pack in backpack
Q304 – swab from comb handle in backpack
Q305-Q306 – swabs from pump of inflatable bed
Q307-Q308 – swabs from male portion of cord from flat iron (hair straightener)
Q309 – stone piece from crime scene
Q310 – piece of fabric from crime scene
Q311-Q313 – pieces of fabric from crime scene
Q314 – piece of fabric from crime scene
Q315-Q315.2 – pieces of fabric from crime scene
Q316-Q317 – pieces of tape from crime scene (non-Henkel duct tape)
Q318 – piece of tape from crime scene (non-Henkel duct tape)
Of course the latent prints wouldn’t come from any of the swabs, so we are left with the fairly good assumption that a print or prints were lifted from one or more of the items Q309 to Q318 retrieved from the crime scene.
It will be interesting to see who this print(s) belongs to.
Valhall.
