On another topic, I know we’ve beaten it practically to death, but I just don’t think that Lee would have tried to wipe the laptop hard disk. That night, Cindy and Lee had no idea that Caylee was “kidnapped” or whatever, only that Casey was hiding something. So they would NOT have wanted to wipe the hard disk, they would have wanted to know WHAT CASEY WAS HIDING and would have wanted the files from the laptop.

Every time I hear about that stupid lanyard I keep thinking about the dog collar in “Men in Black”. Did the lanyard house an alternate universe or something?

Somebody pleeeease explain why this thing is important! lol.

ROFLMAO jennyb!!
The lanyard is just another ‘red flag’. Daughter is supposed to be at work, so her lanyard should be with her…you’d think. So should mama the doll be with the
Grandchild who never went anywhere without her. But hey, lets hurry and wash pants that smell like they were beside the dead body in the damn car. Daughter and Grandaughter are missing and someone presumed dead per both George and Cindy.
For an RN trained to be able to assess a situation and triage it for acquity, Cindy is an absolute failure.
So back to the lanyard. Cindy obsesses over the minutia at the expense of the much bigger picture. We see that in every interview where she attempts to control LE with her binder full of BS. Teenage daughter has a 20lb abdominal tumor. No worries, just female troubles. lalalalalalalala :lol:
The lanyard means nothing. It was Cindy’s way of re-directing the search from her missing Grandaughter on day 31, to an inanimate object and casting LE’s competence into question at the get go. She knew Caylee was dead when she saw Mama doll and took a whiff and knew who did it the minute she set eyes on KC at Tonys IMHO.
The whole family knows.

I think that George was all mixed up about the duct tape and what he wanted to say about it because he was trying to understand what the significance of it was to LE and he wanted to give the “correct answers to protect Casey” but he didn’t know WHAT the correct answers should be. A simple case, as Judge Judy would say…
“Instead of trying to figure out where I’m going with this line of questioning, just answer the questions honestly. Don’t make it up as you go along. If you’re honest, you don’t need a good memory.”
————————-

I think you’re right, Mimi, about George’s motivation for lying about the duct tape. You can practically hear the gears working in his brain as he tries to figure out what the “correct” answers should be.

It’s unfortunate that Judge Judy wasn’t given an opportunity to question Casey on July 16. I’ll bet she could have gotten her to confess. :lol:

Oh, Judge Judy would have handled this differently, alright….Remember how Casey “Mmmmm’d” LE practically to death during that early questioning?
Judy would have shouted,
“Um and Mmmmm isn’t an answer!!”
When Casey fixed her hair and primped, Judge Judy would have said,
“Stop with the…primping. It annoys me. Don’t look over there. The answer isn’t over there. Look here. I want to see your eyes.”
(All the while banging her pen on the desk.)
Yes, I bet she’d love to have a go at Casey.

I have seen other posters at various times comment on this, and I could swear somebody at some time mentioned that Casey had kept Caylee away from George and Cindy once before in the past. However, I can’t find where that info is.

If there is any truth to this, it would make sense that Lee would tell Casey to come clean because Hey, Chicka, you are in JAIL this time!!! This isn’t a control game with Mom and Dad anymore, this is a criminal investigation now!!!

The authorities still have the car.
