Of course I didn’t catch the missing Q63. Leaves a little window open for prints I hope.
Where are the rest of the documents posted? Is this all the material or is more available?
blink, that rectangular shape you are seeing–are you talking about where it looks like a piece of has been cut away, like in pic 1 in the WFTV pics, where you can see the blue background through it? Or do you mean something else? http://www.wftv.com/slideshow/news/21249759/detail.html
fyi… myfoxorlando.com has the most comprehensive collection of photos I’ve seen yet.
I think that I have read here that under the “Sunshine Laws”, they can not or do not have to release evidence that is incriminating. If so, we won’t see the evidence that we want to see until the trial.
wpgmouse, I dunno. Since the FBI doesn’t seem to be beyond offering up titillating speculation like the possible outline of a body in the trunk, I can’t imagine why they would hesitate to point out a possible nose and mouth print on the tape. The jurors would lap that up. The fact that they didn’t—when they had the real pieces of tape in their very hands and labs—makes me wonder if we’re not just seeing an artifact of the way it was photographed or something.
I agree, I dont think it is anymore than the tape seperation and degredation of the fibers/adhesives. Remember there is tape found elsewhere on the scene.
Blink- from post 68- the shaded rectangle. The report stated that Q63 was over Q64 and had to be seperated manually.
ChicagoJudy, thanks, those pics are great!
Blink, have you changed your mind on the shorts being dropped off later than the body based on these photos? (starting at 9722, 10/79 http://media.myfoxorlando.com/photogalleries/100909caseyanthonyphotosofducttapeclothingshovel/1/lg/9722-9731_Page_01.htm_
They look to be in much worse shape than they had been described, if memory serves.
BLINK: OMG I went to the above link for fox orlando and started looking at the photos. Start at the beginning and the third picture of the duct tape clearly shows a heart shape with a slight pink color. It is on the left side……
Just like your followers Blink, to want “more, more, more, and more”….hahaha….Just my personal opinion, but I believe there is much more to be released and we should not lose faith! Casey is going to be convicted for sure. Of that I have NO DOUBT! You need to get the whip out Blink and settle the troups down…why, Blinkers even have you running next door and bothering your poor neighbor for crying out loud. lol
I was kidding, I have been looking for a reason to bother Mr.CSI of the FBI for weeks
I agree, no faith lost, but I was really hoping for a plea to end this madness.

That’s the point I’ve been trying to make over the past few days, IMHO, E Fontaine could present a problem for the state.
From every thing I’ve read E Fontaine is the ONLY person that saw the alleged heart shape residue.
According to the records she ‘saw’ it on the 13th…yet, she waits until the 15th to try and photograph it?
Blink- I get what you’re saying about sometimes some evidence is destroyed in hopes that other evidence will be found..i.e.-prints. The problem I see is that she didn’t follow FBI protocol by properly documenting it BEFORE she allegedly destroyed it.
Why didn’t she photograph it before she dusted for prints? Did she really see a heart shaped residue on the duct tape? Was she just sloppy or is she an overzealous lab tech?….IMO, all questions the defense will bring up. IMO, E Fontaine is instrumental in this case b/c she processed several pieces of important evidence, not just the duct tape…if her credibility is hurt in regards to the duct tape, what about the other evidence she processed?
Peggy. Your right.
I don’t like it, but you are.
B
No prints…latent, partial or otherwise. Having now seen the duct tape itself I’m not in the least surprised. I’m still hoping to be WRONG…But somehow, I don’t think so.
I’m completely convinced that she’s guilty based on lots and lots of circumstantial evidence but nothing that I’ve seen so far today, advances on the case.
No big “marker” here to speak of…That’s not to say that the case isn’t already a slam-dunk (which I believe it is) but…
No prints (of any kind) so far…
MOO
OOOOps…Just want to add…How frickin’ big is that tat??? I expected a much smaller single line tat…THAT IS A HUGE STATEMENT. No wonder they wanted to photograph her!
Blink, hello again
post#81
Q-100 The full-colour pic of the heart on the “cardboard” always baffled me, because the first time I saw it I thought the heart was attached to a degraded piece of tape that was stuck on the piece of cardboard. Then again only one heart sticker was found at the scene.
What we are not seeing, and I would not expect to either, are the portions of duct tape that were affixed to the hair. The ME had to cut the hair to release the tape (hair would still be remaining on the adhesive side of the tape that was sent for testing). Pics of Q-63,64,65 are not visibly showing hair. Is Q-104 the tape “affixed to the hair, keeping the mandible in place”, or another piece found loose in the debris at the scene that we’ve seen a pic of before?
If CA’s print was found in any way, shape or form on anything at or linking to the crime scene on Suburban, it wouldn’t be released publicly with released documents pre-trial, would it?
(Blink, just trying to give you more hope. Is your neighbour on Central, Eastern of Pacific time
Let me say this, I have F A I T H there is a forensic link from Casey to the remains of her daughter, period.
We are not going to see the stuff we really want for a while, although I suspect sooner than later.
Lol, neighbor is EST

blink, you make me want to go to crime school!!

how much physical evidence even forensic evidence would survive or make it through long durations and periods of being underwater?
Not much apparently

As Mom and a new Grandmother when I read this from WFTV I felt really sick to my stomach…”The person who placed this duct tape and put it in multiple layers did it for one reason and one reason only, to make sure that child could not breathe either through the mouth or the nose,” Sheaffer said (watch full interview).Sheaffer says a child Caylee’s age would suffer “extreme distress when prevented from breathing”.“They would become panicked and not understand what they’re feeling, but knowing they can’t breathe,” Sheaffer said.That kind of cruelty would be one of the factors jurors would consider in deciding whether to recommend the death penalty if Casey were to be convicted and Sheaffer says it’s a powerful one.“The cruelty of suffocation, it just reaches on a high scale,” Sheaffer said.”
Blink, the one and only raised, pink heart shaped sticker was found stuck to a piece of degraded cardboard at the remains scene Q188 sent to FBI 1/12/09 (photo: n.b. labeled as heart sticker
) (3500, 3751)
That piece of duct tape (Q100) was one its own.
WOW,…. that tatoo must have put a dent in Amy’s bank accout
If you haven’t watched yet here’s my BF, Bill Sheaffer, on today’s evidence.
http://www.wftv.com/video/21253211/index.html
cindeefromWI, that’s the raised pink heart stuck to cardboard you are seeing. Easier to tell it is on cardboard when you see the color version, but from the beginning people have been swearing it is on duct tape. Easy trick.
Even if there’s no evidence (prints or whatever) that ties Casey directly to the crime, it’s still a strong circumstantial case.
For me, the fact she waited 31 days and that it wasn’t Casey that called LE speaks volumes..no amount of explaining can counter that.
I hope my last comment didn’t come across as rude, I’m sick as dog (fever is now 101)..I think I have the flu and I should probably go to bed. Anyways, I think your site is phenomenal!
Not at all Peggy, your opinion was valid. Feel better.
Just an fyi, I found a discrepancy.
Q100 and Q104 appear to have been through LPU, however those results are not noted. Maybe our saving grace?
B Peggy
The knife in the pictures….. was that found in Casey’s car? I know they are able to determine if a particular kind of knife enters a victims body….. can they match the cut marks on the duct tape w/the knifes edges? Does this knife match up with others found at the Anthony home?

An eye for an eye…let her die the same way.
I would like to know if anyone could direct me as to where I believe Casey said, “They haven’t even found her clothes yet” or somehting to that effect. I have watched the jailhouse visits and can’t find where she says that.
Thanks Blink. I appreciate your responses.
I agree with your F A I T H. It would be impossible NOT to have a forensic link. Going back to reading, staying quiet for a while.
Looking forward to the “top guns” weighing in.

I feel so depressed but am going to read all 1,405 pages before I give up on something that will end all our fears.
Peggy & Pink – 4:06 & 4:08
EXACTLY what I’ve been afraid of these past few months. I am not as convinced as some are as to the hard core evidence needed to procure an absolute conviction of 1st degree murder – let alone a death penalty case.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR……….. had to let that out before the weekend.
wpgmouse, I’m afraid the only tape pieces that went to the FBI from the M.E.’s office were Q62-64 (5581). So those were the ones cut away from the mat of hair. The other 2 pieces of tape—only one of which is Henkel—weren’t found on or near the body, so did not go to see Dr. G. I think Q104 is the non-Henkel but I have to look it up to be sure.
I believe in karma. Let’s say she does get acquitted. Let’s look at the future. KC gets let out of jail, she goes home to the bosom of her family and WHAM they all end up killed in a revenge killing and the perp is Zanny the Nanny.
I’m sorry that really is not nice but the A’s bring out the worst in me. I want to see them ALL punished because whether by commission or ommission they all killed Caylee Not sure if that sentence makes sense but I’mm sure all the blinksters know what I mean.
HEY BLINK OR SILVER..
COULD THE SMOKING GUN BE THE KNIFE MARKS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE DUCT TAPE—LINKING THE KNIFE FOUND IN CASEYS’ CAR TO THE DUCT TAPE.??.
REMEMBER ON THE STATES WITNESS LIST THERE IS A MACHINE, FIREAREM, WEAPON EXPERT ( PARAPHRASING LOOSELY) WHO IS ADEPT IN ANALYZING IMPRESSIONS, CUTS,MARKS ETC FROM WHATEVER ( IE TO DETERMINE IF “X” KNIFE WAS THE KNIFE THAT CUT “Y” DUCT TAPE)…?
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY ANALYSIS HAS BEEN RELEASED IN THAT AREA ( DESPITE THAT PERSON BEING NAMED AND ADDED TO THE STATES WITNESS LIST)???
STILL WAITING FOR THAT SMOKING GUN..I WAS SIDETRACKED AFTER THE DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON—-IN FACT, DOES CINDY ANTHONY HAVE AN ALIBI FOR THAT EVENING?
IVOIRE
Still looking for tape references. Q104 is some other item.
Q100 = Henkel duct tape found in zone 20 —- pg 3597 http://www.wftv.com/_blank/18740700/detail.html
pg 3699— item 4= 1 long piece duct tape AND item 5= 2 pieces of duct tape (all in lane 7, no Q numbers, no mention of Henkel) http://www.wftv.com/_blank/18740700/detail.html
one question re: “eye makeup b4 tat photo”…
Sorry if i missed something overly obvious, but; how do we know she put the eyeliner just for the photo? could she have perhaps had an appearance in court the same day?
not questioning her guilt, just want to keep open mind.
Another A+ B
Blink, you’re as amazing as you are absolutely correct in saying there are holes (empty spaces) in this doc dump. Following the numbers, and admitting that I haven’t read all 1400 pages, the results of the two pieces of hair taken from the napkin that was in the box, that was contained in the trash bag, aren’t stated, are they? Also, Q43-Q46(46 being the shovel evidence) don’t seem to be conclusive. 43 being the scraping of the wheelwell, and 44, the swab. If someone’s read beyond what I have, please let me know the results of these items, as well as to expound upon the coffin flies and grave/death wax, both of which seem pretty substantial to me. Blink? Hudson? Kleat? Silver?
I am also taken aback, a bit, by the hand writting on one of the FBI communications/Laboratory Work Sheet, dated September 10, 2008. On the 2nd page of this document there is reference made to the shovel, and midway down the page, the opening word of the sentence regarding microscopic analysis is “limb?” Where did that come from and why isn’t it addressed again?
Refusing to give up hope.

What is going on?
Picture 8 of the duct tape shows a perfect heart shape on it toward the right edge of the tape. It is the same height as the FBI letters of the label. It is faint but it is there.
http://www.wftv.com/slideshow/news/21249759/detail.html
Also, The Orlando Sentinel’s pics in #7 you can see it faintly but you can magnify your comp to see it. The outer edge of the heart is at the outer edge of the tape. It is there.
suz and Blink, and all
MY BOO BOO. I was incorrect in stating the hair had been “cut” in order to release the duct tape. I reread the autopsy report and the correct wording is “removed the tape” not cut (samples of the hair matt were cut). So sorry for the mislead.
Blink, tape Q63. If that is not an impression for the mouth area, then it sure appears as one, especially considering that is where the heart sticker residue was located. Perhaps the “duct tape with heart sticker purposely placed over the mouth” was just a theory that went on to become a perceived truth? I don’t know. That pic#13 from WFTV has got some pretty wild shadowing and reflecting going on.
TO SILVER:
LEGAL QUESTION:…I WOULD THINK THAT GEORGE AND CINDY WILL NOT BE CALLED ( or allowed) TO TESTIFY IN THE THEFT TRIAL ( as much as I would love to see them LIE UNDER OATH AGAIN) BECAUSE THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE..PLEASE ADVISE…THANKS IVOIRE
The Duct Tape Edges
Actually IVOIRE you just reminded me of something,
All the torn edges, even the tape on the one gas can that we’ve seen,
all seem to have a similar “serrated” appearance. You can make it out easier in the pic of the gas can, but can catch glimpses of it in the close-ups of the tape pics. I’ve use duct tape plenty of times and always ripped it manually, either by hand or teeth. Or clean cut it with scissors or an x-acto knife. But maybe, in this case, the roll was contained within a cutting-edge dispenser. Hmmmm.
Hello to all Blinkers !
It is pretty rough going through the new batch of documents..Really horroble images come to mind looking at the hair of little angel and the duck tape! Never had stronger believe that Casey deserves nothing less than dead penalty…and yes, I will count to 10 again and keep the comments about her looks for myself
Thx, Blink, for the hope you always share !

Property Form H-60493 Item#16 – one piece duct tape – Henkel Consumer Adhesives – Q100 (Analyst Note: This duct tape appears to be same/similar to duct tape found on the remains of Caylee. In addition to all other testing the lab sees pertinent please examine for prints.
The following on Page 9584

Q100.1(Item #11 Q188) Heart Sticker
Property Form H-60493 Q104 (Item #16 Q100) This is the same duct tape as listed above. (It is confusing depending on which report you are looking at.
All were sent for testing.
TO wpgmouse…
RE: CRIME SCENE DUCT TAPE AND HOW IT WAS CUT AT THE ENDS…
IN THE DOCUMENTS RELEASED TODAY ( IN ONE OF THE REPORTS) THE EXPERT STATED THAT THE DUCT TAPE WAS CUT AT THE ENDS BY EITHER 1) SOMEONE USING THEIR TEETH OR 2) BY SOMEONE USING A KNIFE…
AND, THERE WAS THAT KNIFE RECOVERED IN THE BACK SEAT OF CASEYS’ CAR THAT WAS BOOKED IN TO EVIDENCE??
IIRC, there was a sticky residue on the knife even after Cindy supposedly washed it. It was in one of the first doc dumps.
Two things on the heart shape that shows on pic 8 of WFTV’s pics- it is showing on the adhesive side and it is on the edge of the tape. Weird, but it is what Fontaine saw so there is a pic of it.
No matching duct tape residue was found in the sticky residue on knife Q242 (5598) http://www.wftv.com/blank/19342108/detail.html
Thanks, Suzebee, you are right! I forgot that OCSO gives their own stuff evidence numbers, and then the FBI or someone else must use another set. Driving myself batty trying to figure out where I went wrong.
http://www.wftv.com/video/21253211/index.html
There is much to be hopeful for.
Do you think Casey decorated the tape with multiple heart stickers or hand drawings of hearts to honor Caylee in a ritual? The ones on the sticky side could have been on her face, hair clip, or covered over another piece of tape. Look at the tape…number 13 has Casey’s bite arch imprint. When your hands are full electricians, ac techs will use their teeth as a third hand to tear off the tape. I can see her left lateral, centrals, right lateral, cuspid and first molar imprint(just above and left of H). The tape deforms due to force at the start and the edge is smoother at the finish. I actually compared my Henkel tape to these pictures after experimenting with tearing techniques. She may have held # 16 in her mouth to hold it.
Coreysmom, I see what you mean on pic 8, but I don’t believe that is actually the sticker adhesive that 1 FBI analyst saw. Firstly, I think we can take their word for it in recent announcements as well as today’s discovery:
Page 9283 —says they tried to capture a picture of the dime sized heart shape on Q63 (but couldn’t) http://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=12877963
Secondly, I believe that picture you referenced is showing the back (sticky side) of the tape. The sticker would have been on the shiny side. (But I totally see it…!)
This is the same reason I discount the unsubstantiated body shape in the trunk—it’s just too easy for us humans to find patterns when we look really hard for them, even where there are none.
#137-
Not that it means anything but I looked at the pics and I didn’t see any heart shape residue. Also- I thought she saw it on the non-adhesive side?
I remember seeing a report about the knife, didn’t that come out in the documents a week ago?
I want to say EF observed the residue with ALS or Laser, I do not believe it was visible to the naked eye
