Lib is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: which sentence is correct?

I agree with Ronbee, in both cases.
If you say, 'it's there where you put it', you are probably pointing at 'it'. If you say, 'it's where you put it', maybe 'it' is not in the same room, so you can't point at it.

I don't see any difference between the second pair of sentences either. Maybe 'anyone' without 'who' can have more uses than 'whoever':
A: I don't understand this exercise.
B: It's very easy! Anyone could do it.
In this case you can't use 'whoever'.
Could it be that 'anyone who' and 'whoever' mean: the person / people who?
