The Computer Searches

The Google Searches

Posted on February 8th, 2010 by Valhall

The infamous Google searches that were conducted on the Anthony desktop, and which may or may not come into play in the trial, were conducted in March 2008 – three months before Caylee’s murder. They consisted of searches of the terms: chloroform, chloraform, alcohol, acentone, peroxide, one tree hill, one tree hill 100th episode, how to make chloroform, how to make chloraform, self defense, household weapons, neck breaking and shovel. In addition there is a visit, resulting from one of these searches, to a chapter entitled Personal and Household Articles as Weapons from a book entitled Self-Defense for Women.

In looking at whether the Google searches could have been made by anyone other than Casey we first have to establish whether they were done on her user account of the desktop or on the family user account. The computer forensics files released in discovery do not answer this question because these particular searches were found in unallocated space of the HP desktop. Unallocated file space can be defined as a dumping ground for any data that is erased or deleted – even if that deletion occurs in a format of the hard drive. Many people have the misconception they can simply format their hard drives and permanently removed all the data. This is not true from a forensic standpoint and should be kept in mind when donating a computer for charity. If you really want to protect yourself, you should spend a few dollars to get a cheap hard drive and replace the drive before donating the computer.

The “Zenaida” Searches

Posted on February 9th, 2010 by Valhall

I’ve been asked a few times about the “zenaida” searches on the Anthony desktop, and suffered through some misunderstandings concerning this myself, so I thought I’d bring this to an article, do some explaining, and then solicit assistance from some of our more computer savvy readers concerning some questions that remain about these particular points in the computer forensics released to date.

In particular we are looking at the following searches containing the name “zenaida”:

The Google Searches and Cindy’s Judas Moment

Posted on March 5th, 2010 by JWG

Valhall recently posted an article discussing the Google searches, after which I pointed out a few minor errors in her interpretation of the searches. In her consistently down-home way, she asked me if I would be willing to post my own observations. I told her I would when I finally had the chance, which I seem to have now.

First, I want to say I am humbled by Val’s invitation to have me post. This is her blog, and within mere months she has established a solid reputation on the net as a thorough researcher, careful thinker, and fair moderator. While she and I communicate frequently and have always respected each other’s work, I was nonetheless surprised by her invite. My hope is not to diminish in any way the solid reputation she has already built with this site.

Back a few months ago I went through the Google search spreadsheet line-by-line in an attempt to better understand what it was revealing. The spreadsheet is one that was released on April 6, 2009 as part of discovery, but was not made available by the media. I obtained my copy from Muzikman over at Websleuths (insert rocker emoticon here).

There are some important things to understand about the content of this spreadsheet. Recall an early investigative report by Det. Yuri Melich in which he says he asked computer CSI Sandra Cawn to search for the keyword “chloroform” on the Anthony computer. She did so and found references to the word in unallocated space – meaning the references had been purposely deleted. According to the report, there were searches for the word at Google, as well as similar searches for the ingredients and recipe for chloroform. Also, all of these searches were done from the Firefox browser.

I think JWG did an excellent job at explaining the searches. I got a kick out of the urban dictionary search..."bustdown"

And Cindy's explanation for looking up alcohol and peroxide, she's a nurse.

After reading JWG's article, it only reaffirms my belief that the State has SOOOOO much on KC Anthony! Stuff I didn't even realize because I, like so many others, don't have the knowledge to understand what I was seeing in some of the discovery. When the State presents their case..... and points out all these little details, it will be VERY clear to the jury to killed Caylee.

And that's just a portion of the computer forensics. We still have the entomology experts to lay it all out for the jury.... and so much more!!!!! And, of course, there's still that information of which the State has been allowed to delay the release..... no telling what THAT might be...

No, I don't believe there will be any problem at all in the State getting a conviction for murder one in this case. 8)

I agree. Once it is presented, piece by piece, there will be no doubt. And also, just think of how much they know about the rest of the Anthony's and the lies, coverups. I am dying to know what's in the delayed release. Guess we just have to wait........

Interesting read over there at the Hinky, Snaz. Gotta tell ya, all the computer dissection give me a brain hemorrhage! But that new blogger made it seem sensible.

I have issues with the searches in general though. I don't think they amount to a hill of beans except for Cindy lying about doing the ones for chloroform. And I think she only lied about them because LE was making a big deal out of them and Cindy will cover anything no matter if it's important or not. She just wants everyone to be wrong about anything and everything except her own stories. She proved that to me when she didn't want anyone to look for Caylee any way but alive. She had no idea if Caylee was dead, so she shouldn't have wanted that option left unexplored just in case she was wrong about Caylee being alive.

My summary of all the computer searches is, Casey was into escorting part time or thinking about it, she looked up self defense and household weapons for her own potential safety, someone found out she was into it and looked for her on escort sites because she denied it. The spy/ex detective was George's thing so I'd say he was doing that escort searching looking for his daughter to see what she might be into. As for the chloroform, Ricardo M had that pic up about Win her over with Chloroform and I think Casey got interested in it as a way of incapacitating people, but not necessarily Caylee. She may have thought it would useful in her escorting to get some rich guy to try it for a thrill, give him a bit more than he needed to get him knocked out so she could then steal from his wallet or something. But what's absent from her searches for chloroform is a search for how much is safe to give. So I don't think she actually ever did make or use chloroform on anyone, including Caylee unless she knew someone who was already using it and asked them. She did talk on IM or text about chloroform not killing people, but I think that was just hot-shot talk and nothing more.

What's confusing that summary though, is that Gatorade bottle being found near Caylee's remains. If it were not part of Caylee's death, then how did it conveniently end up there with traces of chloroform in it? But more confusing is why Casey would dump it there if she used chloroform to kill or subdue Caylee? We know Casey was intent on blaming Caylee's death on the nanny, so was the nanny supposed to also be into using chloroform? Well, maybe that's why Cindy tried to implicate Ricardo in Casey's death.

You all will see my pattern of believing at least Cindy helped Casey stage the nanny kidnap story long before July 15th. LOL I look for ways to disprove that theory, but I haven't found any yet. For example, Casey stayed at Ricardo's place while they were in Puerto Rico. If Ricardo had been into using chloroform for kinky sex, Casey might have taken the Gatorade bottle from his place and tossed it into the woods with Caylee to confuse, and at the same time deleted the chloroform searches from her own computer.

There are pieces of logic missing in my idea, but there are pieces of logic missing in all the Anthony's do, so it kind of fits. Guess I need to think some more.

I do not belive KC made the escort searches..... as JWG pointed out, they were done on Internet Explorer and KC used Mozilla Firefox. That part makes sense to me... based on the explanation of the searches done on each site. I'm not one who buys into the theory that KC was into escorting. I believe GA did those searches MUCH quicker than I believe KC did them. (I mean, think about it.... if you were married to the wicked witch of the south, would YOU want to have sex with her???? Ha!) Seriously, I believe that if KC were into escorting, she wouldn't have had to steal from everyone... she would have had her own money.... And other than the escorting searches, there is nothing that leads me to believe KC was into that.... JMO

I believe chloroform played a part in the death of Caylee, I'm just not sure how... and I'm not convinced yet that the Gatorade bottle is related. After all, the chloroform was just a trace... and there was testosterone found in the syringe, as well. I thought it was a real NG-style "BOMBSHELL" when the information was first released in discovery, but have since come to believe it MAY not be related.

Lottie, are you saying that you believe Cindy knew for a fact that Caylee was dead BEFORE she was reported missing on July 15... and that she conspired with KC before that date to come up with the "imaginanny took her" story?

Here's an interesting little tidbit I found at HM:

» JWG said: { Mar 5, 2010 - 08:03:30 }

WSH – interestingly, the time stamp on Ricardo’s Myspace page shows he uploaded the “Win Her Over with Chloroform” image the day after Casey’s Google searches. See the screen capture of his page here:

https://2img.net/h/i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo326/misconline/orv7mq.jpg

http://www.thehinkymeter.com/?p=1826

So, it appears KC googled chloroform BEFORE Ricardo uploaded the little chloroform ditty on his myspace....

Another interesting tidbit from HM:

» JWG said: { Mar 5, 2010 - 08:03:09 }

Janielane – I think it is safe to assume George is responsible for the escort searches. In reviewing the internet history, the searches more often than not coincide with visits to job-hunting sites in the security field, visits to car sites and home improvement sites. The pattern is something like this: Do a little job hunting, read some car reviews, check out a few escort sites.

As I said, creatures of habit.

http://www.thehinkymeter.com/?p=1826

Sure makes good sense to me.... because I am pretty darn sure KC wouldn't have been searching for any kind of a job..... IMO it sounds EXACTLY like it was GA doing the escort searches. How embarrassed is HE going to be if this is brought up at trial as part of the proof that KC did the chloroform, etc. searches!!!!

This escort search story has been out for quite some time too, I wonder if Cindy ever questioned George about it?

I always thought she had seen the "Win her over" on Ricardo's myspace first, as well.

In one word, Yes! In more words, that is what I can't get out of my head because this case is full of holes and somewhere thre has to be some putty. I think Cindy is that putty.

Julie wrote:

I'd say she did, and that's possibly where Casey got her idea to claim (by her usual twisted lies) George was cheating on Cindy via the internet. However, Cindy didn't seem to care if she did know George was on those sites, so it would seem like he may have had an excuse Cindy bought into, such as that he was looking for Casey on one of them to see if she was doing what he suspected, that being escorting. All this is conjecture from my head, of course, but if you think about it George searched a ton of escort sites like he was searching for something in particular and I say it was his daughter.

My own opinion, I'd say he was looking more for pleasure, but who knows? It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

I agree and it will answer a lot of the questions that everybody has. That's why it's so frustrating that it's over a year away.

if a NURSE needs to look up info on alcohol and peroxide, we are all in SERIOUS trouble in the medical profession!!


i too, was under the impression that KC got the chloroform "idea" from seeing it on ricardo's computer, not sure where that came from though....

things that make you go... HMMMMM

I think Casey was so busy giving it up for free that it didn't occur to her that she could be making money as an escort.

I was intrigued by Cindy saying she had two Cockers that died of apparently some unknown cause that she assumed might have something to do with ingesting too much chlorophyll from eating too much grass, and that's why she was looking up chlorophyll and spelled it wrong and got chloroform. She said she was wanting to make sure that didn't happen to her Yorkies.

If she actually did have a couple Cockers before she got the Yorkies, did Casey kill them?

Lottie, that was discussed somewhat at HM.... I think the consensus was no.... and they didn't die from "chlorophil" (as CA spelled it) poisoning either.... LOL

She actually did have 2 Cocker Spaniels?

Lottie, I never heard that before other than that one time CA mentioned them, but apparently so... all we ever heard about was the Yorkies.

Oh, well if all we have to go on is Cindy's word, then the jury is still out. LOL

Computer Savvy Casey?

Posted on April 29th, 2010 by JWG

Throughout the course of this case, I have noticed many assigning geek-like computer skills to Ms. Casey Anthony – our nationally recognized high-school drop out, party girl, and all-around bustdown. She surfed the web through anonymous IP portals, used a sophisticated software program called “timer55″ to hide her internet surfing tracks, and remembered to carefully delete her web browser history every single day. This chick could make a computer sing.

I don’t mean to ridicule anyone for sleuthing the above, but if you have tried to do any of what I mentioned on a consistent basis you’d realize how much attention to detail is actually required. It’s not that it is hard – its that is requires focus. And for Casey Anthony, we are talking months of focus. But Casey is not about focus at all. Proof points include her evolving stories around she and Amy getting a place together, her whereabouts with Caylee (as told to Cindy), the changing stories about Zenaida, and the damned smell in the car. Just a few examples.

George and Cindy seemed to think Casey possessed some degree of computer skill simply because she had a password-protected account “owner” and they weren’t skilled enough to do the same with their account “casey”. “owner” was probably something Lee set up back in the day when they first got the computer, and he showed Casey the basic skills to manage user accounts as needed. That level of computer administration is really simplistic. Show me once and I remember for life.
