That's awful..those poor boys had to hear the idiots I'm sure.

This is what you first posted and I responded to:

Authorities impounded Westerfield's Toyota Forerunner around 2 a.m. after discovering evidence inside related to the girl's disappearance, Collins said. Detectives also searched Westfield's home and removed several items for further examination, Collins said.

Now you have posted:

I am not sure they found any (evidence in the Toyota Forerunner)... I just know it was taken because of evidence found in the residence.

Your posts sometimes confuses me.

Ok... whoever it was knows a little more about computers than the average bear. I'd like to see the article about this...

[Karson]

Don't know...maybe 4 drunks eating chocolate chip cookies, chips and pizza made a terrible mess..there had to have been 12 pizza boxes to throw away....

Yeah, Damon knows for sure he took the garbage out while Brenda was washing dishes. And then of course they had to clean the floor without benefit of the vacuum cleaner since it was upstairs to be used at a later time that weekend.

I am glad I own 2 vacuum cleaners since it surely would be a pain to carry it back and forth up those stairs!

The media is driving me absolutely nuts!..they have not reported accurately throughout this entire case.

They have to add drama statements that are lies.

This jury should have been sequestered.

The Toyota was searched because they were searching everything of his...by 2:30am on 2/5...hell, had they even cleared the family by then?..did the 13 registered sex offenders in the neighborhood area have the same done?

[Rheo]

I'd like to see the article about this...

The transcript is for Mr. Watkins on 6/25 and the morning of 6/26...it is all there.

[Freedom2specul8]

I know, I'm sorry.. I type too fast sometimes..my fingers work faster than my brain. I think they found a bag of clothes in the forerunner..but when I wrote to you, I was still thinking evidence in the 'HOUSE' helped them make their decision to get the search warrants... (red faced) Check your freepmail in a second.. :-\

[Karson]

The media is driving me absolutely nuts!..they have not reported accurately throughout this entire case. They have to add drama statements that are lies.

Yep, that is very true. That's why the transcripts are waaay different from the news articles.

[Freedom2specul8]

Ok scratch that..let me send you an freepmail too. I can't win tonight.

[Rheo]

Maybe when BVD and DVD went back upstairs for awhile...after cleaning the kitchen that morning but before the neighbors arrived....they put the vacuum back upstairs.

Why don't we ususally hear of a recovered body being mummified?...

I live in AZ in we hear about it all the time. Either a homide victim's body is left in the desert, or illegal aliens making they're way and succumbing to the heat and lack of water. It's so dry that the remains are mummified.

[Karson]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Maybe you could take Judge Mudd's advice too and "Calm down. Take a deep breath"... before you post. ;)

[nycgal]

Actually, the house has been painted and carpet replaced. All evidence in the VD house has been destroyed.

On the cable show "The New Detectives" they showed a device that can actually see through layers of house paint to detect blood spatters/spots.

[Rheo]

It's so dry that the remains are mummified

That explains it...I'm in Washington...rarely dry.

[Freedom2specul8]

LOL I think I'll just sit back and read what ya'll have to say for awhile..maybe look for the transcript that discusses the forerunner. I just sent you 2 a freepmail..

[Valpal1]

.isn't mummification expected more in a dry, humid environment?

Mummification is more likely in cool, dry conditions. Putrefaction and skeletization would be more rapid with heat/moisture.

I believe February is relativily cool and dry in SD, which explains the mummification.

[EllaMinnow]

Don't worry, Kim. You're doing fine!

[Freedom2specul8]

Ya'll are so easy to discuss this stuff with...a breath of fresh air! I do enjoy reading your posts..ya'll know how to debate without getting personal..and that is awesome.

I was thinking temp file. cache is kind of like a temp file..

Similar (that word !).
A temp file will get removed when the origin program no longer needs it --when the program ends the temp files (should) get deleted.
Cache files are kept until disk space needs to be freed, and will be left between multiple invocations of the program. so whoever it was, surfed the net AND typed in addresses to files on the puter right?

Or just clicked on some porno spam in e-mail. Heck, you wouldn't even have to click, a Visual-basic script could automatically start-up the browser.

The interesting thing is these pics where created (not necessarily viewed) while DW was not there.

I hardly ever post. I can't hold my temper like you and cyn can. And I don't want to get banned.
