During the search of the home, deputies found ammonia nitrate in the hallway bathroom, additional chemicals in a bedroom and plastic tubing, tabbies used in the manufacture of meth, coffee filters and liquid drain cleaner in the kitchen.

During an interview, Bryant told deputies that she and her boyfriend, Christlieb, were homeless and needed a place to stay. She said she used meth frequently, and that Kapiton was the primary "methamphetamine cook" at the home. She also told deputies that she and the rest of the people in the residence all conducted odd jobs, such as purchasing ephedrine, or chemical used in the manufacturing of the meth.

During his interview, Christlieb added that he either received cash for the purchase of the chemicals or received free meth, and that others living in the residence also completed household jobs, for which they were paid in free meth.

Schuler and his girlfriend, Whitlock, told similar stories. Whitlock, however said that although she smoked marijuana occasionally, she didn't use meth.

Quarles, a convicted felon, said he sometimes stayed at the residence, having left Hillsborough County, and sometimes lives out of his car. He also said he purchased ephedrine for Kapiton and was given money, free meth or both in payment.

Woods told investigators she and Quarles had arrived earlier in the morning and said to an interviewer that she and others at the residence had participated in the manufacturing process in some way.

Prague said he stays at Kapiton's home, and sleeps in her bed. He said he uses meth and also purchased chemicals for her.
