There appears to be some who don’t realize there were four pieces of Henkel brand duct tape found at the crime scene. Because of this, there are questions about why Prosecutor Ashton brought up the possibility of Caylee being restrained physically (versus chemically). The four pieces of duct tape are: Q62-Q64 – found on the skull, and Q104 – found separately and more toward where Caylee’s shirt remnants and portions of her little bones had been scattered. It had been chewed up by animals. This is the piece of duct tape that could have been used as a restraint on Caylee’s wrists or forearms.
Sometime back, in response to an analysis JWG had over at Websleuths, I had analyzed these four pieces of duct tape at the crime scene, and the piece found on George’s gas can, to see if it could be ascertained as to whether they were or could have been connected to each (i.e. they were torn from each other). I will present what I found here.
The first thing I did was measure the lateral distance between two consecutive Henkel brand stamps on the tape. I used Q62 to do this.
As seen above, the measurement comes out 260 pixels. The next thing I did was to measure to the right on Q62 and find the placement of the next Henkel brand stamp.
From that location I measure to the right end of Q62 and got a reading of 72 pixels. Using the set distance of 260 pixels between stamps, this would mean that a matching piece torn from the right side of Q62 would have a stamp 188 pixels from its left end.
I also measured from the Henkel stamp near the left end of Q62. And got a measurement of 116 pixels. Which would mean a matching piece torn from the left side of Q62 would have a stamp 144 pixels from it’s right end.
I then measured all the other pieces of tape.
Q63:
Q64:
Q104:
Q66: (gas can)
This is what I came up:
The right edge of Q63 appears to have DEFINITELY attached to the left edge of Q64.
The right edge of Q64 appears to have MOST LIKELY attached to the left edge of Q104.
The right edge of Q62 MAY HAVE BEEN attached to the left side of Q66.
*NOTE ON Q104 – if you take into account the creases the measurement over to the first Henkel stamp from the left closely matches what is needed to be torn from the right side of Q64 – reading would be 225.
