I have spent hours reading through comments on Hanks' Instagram as well as numerous videos related to Kappy's death. I have just stumbled upon a number of random comments stating that in Hanks' Route 66 Instagram picture, that "near the footprint", there is a water bottle cap with a capital letter P on it. Get it.... Cap P... Kappy? I have taken a long long look at the photo and cannot see this bottle cap. Has anyone heard this yet? Can anyone see this supposed bottle cap with the P on it?
Link to the picture in question:

Of course you can also view the picture on his official Instagram. Its the second most recently posted image.

The pic with the bottle cap is a different photo than the roadkill one with the glove. The glove photo does not show the elbow shadow separated from the body like the bottle cap image does. Two different pics.
We need to document where they originated.

Am I the only one who finds it somewhat interesting that the sediment directly around the cap is of a significantly different color than any other sediment in the rest of the pic? The other pic that he took around the same location doesn't show any significant darkened/red like sediment like that. Route 66 is obviously a long road but it does cut through the Socal deserts and near the undergrad I went to, same style of desert but darker sediment like that is usually what you would see after digging in the ground for a foot or more or around large carved out rockfaces. It's probably nothing but that's my 2 cents. Also, his insta is beyond weird, I mean people take pictures of random stuff all the time - but he has a full on obsession.

Interesting thoughts! Great links, too.
To me it kinda looked like a waterbottle cap, and the dark spots around it looked like a bit of water that might dribble out of an almost empty bottle. Are there any water bottles that have a P on the cap?

Good question. I haven't been able to find anything.
