I'm sitting on the fence here but since LE will not give proof yet of her being dead, then I am keeping hope that she is alive also. Even in the LE press meetup today, the LE stated that it was THEIR hope and prayers that they will find Caylee safe also. So we are not alone in our hope. The link to that:

Also on another thread a list of questions were floated around about things pointing to her being dead so I will put my answers on this thread along with the questions. If anyone wants to do that same, that would be great. Here's to hope til there is no hope! thanks for the thread!
A list of things from another thread:
A seasoned detective testified that he smelled decomp.
George smelled Decomp.
Cindy smelled Decomp.
My thoughts:
It has not been proven that the smell was decomp other than the dog hits. Dogs have failed although they have success often also.
If George and Cindy were sure they smelled decomp, George wouldnt have went onto work that day, Cindy wouldnt have been delaying her search to find Casey and would not have proceeded in washing clothes instead.
If detective smelled decomp, why the delay in waiting to seize the car?
Why did she abandon the car?
My thoughts:
It ran out of gas possibly. It has not been proven that it did not.
It may have been left on the 27th, which was a Friday. More important things awaited her, the Fusion All White Party date. She was broke since Amy wasnt gone on vacation yet and we do not know when the credit cards were cut from grandmother. She had just supposedly stole gas a few days earlier. After the wild weekend, it was Monday. Too late, car was towed and no money to go get it still.
Why is there hair,stain, and smell of decomp in trunk
My thoughts:
Beach trips will usually put clothing with hair in a trunk or other items, even a car seat could put hair in trunk if too many riders needed the room.
Stain could be spill from the laundry detergent which glows in black light, if that container existed.
Smell from a rotted pizza and laundry detergent could be real bad, unknown how bad, but that smell has not been proven as like the decomp smell has not been proven either.
Why did she fabricate Zenaida?
My thoughts:
It has not been proven that someone did not go by the alias of ZG and that Casey knew her.
If Casey did not want to report this ZG, then she would not give correct details but would lie.
If she did not, does not, want to report this ZG, it is possible that she does fear the results of what would happen if she did/does.
Why did she fabricate her job?
My thoughts:
She stated that she wanted to go there to Universal to see if they might somehow find out if the ZG person or Caylee had been seen there, how she thought she might find this out is unknown.
Why she did not tell the detectives that they needed to go there for leads is unknown.
Why did she not just "pick up" Caylee from this so called person after Cindy forced her to admit she hadn't seen her.
My thoughts:
She really could not find the person because the person was given Caylee, bought Caylee, or stole Caylee, and the person left the country or the person is someone who she wanted and still wants to have Caylee forever instead of her parents or DSS.
Why did she borrow a shovel?
My thoughts:
She may have used it to open the shed. Her father may have been reporting the stolen gas late, or he may have added that info to give a better report. It is always better to have a breaking into than it is to have just something stolen from an unlocked shed. Maybe George decided to report the stolen gas just to make Casey come home, but it didnt work because she did come, but without Caylee, and then, she didnt stay.
Why did she tell everyone who asked "she is with the nanny" she is with my parents" conflicting statements.
My thoughts:
Maybe she was using both as sitters during that time. Note that on the 15th, she was with her mother.
Why would she say she was conducting her own investigation if she willingly let Caylee go with someone?
My thoughts:
She had to give a reason for not reporting and that sounded like one, even though she admitted it was a stupid one later.
What kind of invisible, untraceable, heartless individual would have not come forward with Caylee by now?
My thoughts:
Someone who loves her as their own and wants a child badly, possibly not in their own right mind. Someone who is a sex predator. Someone who sold her. Someone who got rid of her body a long time ago already.
