Dr. Dobersen told me that the pineapple was identified as much by the smell as anything else - - seems it retains the odor throughout the digestive system. So I believe it was pineapple. John and Patsy don't remember it in the house but obviously it WAS there. And I have heard there was more than was just found in that bowl. (Yeah, there is still more out there for us to learn - - exactly where else was pineapple found? And who put it there?)

Dr. Dobersen also told me that there is NO WAY to tell when JBR ate that pineapple. She could have eatten it at 3 or 4 in the afternoon before going to the Whites for dinner. Since no one paid attention to what she ate at the Whites', they can't tell anything about the pineapple and when it was consumed.

But we know it had passed completely through the stomach and that takes a while. Think about when a kid vomits - - they empty their stomachs, not their intestines. Sometimes that stuff is in there for hours. How many times have you been called to a child's bed because...???

The pineapple - - when it was eaten is never going to be resolved, IMO. But there is more to learn about pineapple in that house. The one bowl of pineapple was not the only evidence of pineapple in that house.

ALSO, Patsy said she didn't serve that pineapple - - would NOT have served pineapple in a bowl like that. And - - what if you heard the spoon in the bowl was not a teaspoon - -- would that make you think twice that maybe it was a kid who got that out? It did me. My kids would eat with the nearest utensil, didn't matter it is wasn't the right one if it worked. Using a fancy pickle fork or cheese knife or serving spoon was "fun". I remember going to one house where the kids actually had forks that had the prongs bent - - purposely - - thought it was great fun and the parents said they ate more.

Just food for thought.
