With tears rolling down her face and her voice cracking, Cindy testified about the strange odor she noticed in her daughter’s car.

“Casey’s purse was on the front seat and Caylee’s baby doll, her favorite doll was in the car seat like it was sitting where Caylee would have sat,” Cindy said during her heartfelt testimony.

“Caylee’s doll smelled like the car so I took it out … I sat the doll down and I went and got a Clorox wipe and I wiped the face and hands. The body was soft and so it smelled pretty bad … I sprayed Febreze all through the car thinking that might help the odor … I used pretty much a whole can of Febreze.”
