Something like that- I do not trust Cindy at all.. she is, IMO, not only far more disordered than Casey is. She is also smarter, more cunning, she lies better, plays the victim like a pro, her manipulation skills are at a level Casey only wishes she had. Unlike Casey, Cindy plans ahead, attacks peoples characters without so much as a blink of an eye- she has no loyalty to anyone- not even Caylee who she claims to have "lived for" (don't get me wrong, I believe she loved her, to the best of her ability but her ability isn't much IMO, and that is obvious by looking at the state of that "family").
I am not convinced that Cindy or George or Lee are covering for Casey, I have this funny feeling they ALL may be covering for Cindy.. that it's Casey that's being thrown under the bus. I kinda feel like Annie said, Casey's not smart enough to have done this by herself.. there is either a MOUNTAIN of evidence we will see at trial or IMO Casey did not do this alone. She lies like her father not her mother.
I feel the same about Cindy not answering Casey's calls- for someone who "talked to her every day" she blew off her calls for quite some time after she took off after fathers day.
I know the 'accident' theories are largely unsupported on this forum but here's a 'what if?' -
What if - the pool ladder was not put away on the evening of the 15 June. CA thought KC had done it, or KC thought CA had done it, or neither thought about it at all, because they were too busy going at each other like a pair of bulldogs!
The next day, Caylee wanders out into the back yard. She's been pestering KC to take her in the pool, but KC is too busy texting, chatting and doing stuff on her PC. Caylee gets impatient and bored, wanders over to the pool and 'oh goody', the ladder is all ready for her.........
If this did happen, both CA and KC would know full well WHY the ladder was not put away and both would feel responsible for Caylee's death, but they clearly like to blame anyone but themselves. KC may secretly blame CA, but instead pins the blame for Caylee's 'disappearance' on the imaginanny. CA secretly blames KC, but knows she should have checked the ladder, so in order to keep both herself and KC off the hook, she runs with KC's story and adds a few extra 'culprits' of her own. I'm not sure they've ever talked about this, or that CA knew from the beginning that this is what might have happened - but she could have worked it out for herself!
This theory might explain -
The voracity of
both KC's and CA's efforts to lead everyone away from the truth.
KC's comment to CA in one of the jail visits - 'don't worry, I haven't said anything' - possibly in reference to the fight.
The ladder/ yard gate open evidence
No shoes found with Caylee
No fabric from Caylee's T shirt found - chlorinated water + decomp. process = excelerated rotting?
Raised levels of chloroform found in the car trunk - chlorinated water + decomp. process?
KC's comment to CA during a jail visit, when CA tells her that the media are suggesting that Caylee may have drowned - KC says 'Surprise, surprise!' From my experience, this response is most commonly used when someone has 'hit the nail on the head' - i.e. they've got it right!
KC's apparent lack of sympathy towards CA when she was crying during a jail visit - 'why's she crying already?'. Translate that to 'I've got no sympathy for you - it's your fault that Caylee is dead'.
In this scenario, they both would probably feel that they had separately caused Caylee's death, but it's also their unspoken and unshared joint guilty secret. So, in respect of your post, I'm not sure that GA or LA are knowingly covering for anyone, but CA could certainly be covering for both herself and KC and be pulling the others along with her!
