I cant imaagine that KC ever went 10 ft without her cell phone .. She knew the car had been taken out of the tow yard and that it smelled of death…

She knew that when she left Tony’s left she wasnt going to be bak there at least not for a while.. She knew that she wud not have the use of a vehicle as she was not going to be able to produce Caylee… She wrecked her computer when CA arrived and left her cell and belongings there with every bad intention..

It is said that she was activley using her laptop on the couch in the living room when Any knocked at the door..

She went to the door and stepped outside and had her brief conversation with CA before stepping bak iside.. CA allegedly told her to get her things where she reinforced she wasnt coming bak…

CA then talked to TL and the roomies (notedly not asking one of the roomies if they had sees Caylee lately, even though she was reportedly hysterical) instead she chose to advise them about how KC will leave take his money and leave him high and dry while KC was off doing something… What was she doing>????? It was never reported if she took her laptop into TL’s where or what she was doing in there … She stepped out of the room briefly to tell CA to shut up when CA was advising TL….

I wonder if she had the laptop with her in that bedroom..was she already doing damage to the laptop while the boys were playing their video games..I dont recallTony L ever giving an account of where the laptop was situated after KC left….

Another thought is that if the blue screen was in fact a screen saver, LA may have played along knowing full well that it was a screen saver, yet suggested that the computer, may have been wiped out by a virus, just to leave an impression with Tony L, that the computer was wrecked before it left Tony L’s house…then when Lee got it home, this is where it may have been wrecked…Im sure Lee and KC had a long enough time to discuss her belongings before LE got there…

I don’t think anyone had the foresight to do any sabotage to the laptop, in that first 24 or 48 hours.

As far as the google searches, I’m trying to guard myself against excessive speculation. Now that we have a general idea about what happened to Caylee, we’re trying to make the searches fit in to our theories, but maybe not all of them do. We need to leave room for coincidence.

And I just have to say it . . . I looked up “how to make chloroform”, and while it is not particularly difficult, I don’t think Casey would be organized enough or have the patience to do it right so that it didn’t just boil off. Maybe she looked it up because her buddy Rico had the infamous “win her over – with chloroform” message on his MySpace page, and Casey wanted to find out what it was and if Rico himself was making it and using it on her.

Refreshing voice of reason. I came to the same conclusion after jumping the gun on the activity on the home computer with the comments that I made. I have a tendency to want to have each new piece of information fit nicely into what I already think I know. This is an area I know very little about and have decided not to participate beyond my initial premature statements. I know there is significance but it’s beyond me to try and decipher it so…
On the other things you mentioned, I too, think the chloroform search was in reaction to her seeing her friend’s mention of it and she may have even questioned him about it and learned that it’s easy to make. I was blasted on another site for saying, after researching it, that some young people DO abuse chloroform. She may have learned this, too, and was just nosy about it. But, I don’t think she ever made it herself, although she may have considered it as a way to assist in Caylee’s death. However, I don’t think it’s presence in the trunk has anything to do with her or the murder, itself but more the clean-up which she didn’t seem to do herself…other than a little swiping with a paper towel. The shovel search has me stumped but your explanation seems very reasonable.
After reading what others have written about who blue screened the computer and seeing their explanations for why this is logical , I have changed my mind about it’s being Lee who did it. (And also how you explain about Lee not wanting to delete as he is trying to find Caylee at this point.) I now agree with this; that Casey was sitting on Tony’s couch on July 15th, trying to conduct a “total tune up” to cover her tracks when she messed up the laptop all by herself. What is good about that, is that, of course LE would have this information after having access to the computer. It’s just one more bit of circumstantial evidence to add to the pile.
I’m so grateful to all of those who add information to Valhall’s really incredible viewpoints and significant questions so that this all becomes more clear as time goes by…so, thanks!
(Unanswered questions are just so nagging, aren’t they!?)

I agree that she never considered the effects of decomp before it occurred, however I am of the opinion that she wouldn’t have dealt with it after, knowing how she just tossed her kid stuffed in bags into the woods. She did what was easy and not messy. But on your other point, she would have had to be an absolute idiot, not to have concealed a corpse, walking outside for all to see vs backing the car up etc.

I think it was also dumb luck. However, she did have enough sense to back into the garage to load/unload the body so no one would see it. She just didn’t think of the smell and how decomp would affect Caylee’s body. I think what she did in respect to that “situation” was purely reactionary.

She did have help. She had a lawyer come and tell her to shut up, and she had family that rewrote history for and about her. Whether it went beyond that, who knows? She was also granted incredibly dumb luck given that TES didn’t find Caylee in the woods, and that time and the elements took their toll on the remains and evidence.

It’s always struck me that in fact she was not a clear thinker, but LE couldn’t find more direct evidence. Casey’s friends said repeatedly “Casey’s not that smart to have done it by herself”. Even the defense said something similar: “She’s not a forensic genius to fool all of law enforcement”.

So, why wasn’t there some hugely obvious smoking gun? I’ve always felt that since Casey did everything wrong – except get caught – that it was nothing more than sheer dumb luck that there were no witnesses! 10 seconds one way or another could have made the difference; someone seeing her moving a bundle out of her trunk into the woods, for instance.

I think that it was nothing more than chance that nobody saw/heard her commit the deed or get rid of evidence and the body.
