Evidence consistent with human decomposition was found in the trunk of a car belonging to a Florida woman charged with killing her 3-year-old daughter.
“Both odor analysis and LIBS results appear to be quite consistent with a decompositional event having occurred in the trunk of the vehicle,” said the report from Tennessee’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Testing was conducted on air and carpet samples from the vehicle. The tests indicated “the presence of the five key major compounds associated with human decomposition,” the report said.
The tests also found “an unusually large concentration of chloroform” in the trunk, according to the Oak Ridge report.
The report also says evidence of possible decomposition was found on a hair located among debris in the trunk. The hair is “microscopically similar” to one recovered from Caylee’s hair brush, the report said.
Did you even read my first post ?
Chloroform dissipates upon exposure to air. There is no possibility that chloroform could be detected from an instance that occurred months before. Chloroform is formed when chlorine is combined with moisture and heat. When you open the door to a dishwasher and steam escapes there is probably chloroform present because of the chlorine in the detergent. If there was laundry detergent residue in the trunk and moisture was present chloroform could have been produced in the Florida heat. Besides, the detector used was not proven or even peer reviewed to prove effectiveness.
Most of the other results were refuted by other so called expert witnesses.
