I have been sliding towards this from reading here and there---reading post with theories but only tease us with puttin bits out.
Theonly1 please---please---please, just tell me----please. What do you think is goin on? What is your theory? Who do you think did it? Where?
raying:"PLEASE"!!
The following observations and opinions are mine:
Me? Background: I think that Casey was enabled her entire lifetime--full stop. I cannot explain it any better than some of the psychology-based posts made by other WSers. Further, I think that Caylee was used as a pawn between the two women. I think that Casey (mentally) had it difficult growing up and was taught many of the negative and dysfunctional traits we see exhibited. Further, I see in Casey traits of a sociopath too but I am not a psychologist.
I also think humans are formed by both nature and nuture. I think it was Casey's "nature" to be much of the way she is [insert whatever label you think she is: sociopath/narcissist or whatever] and that many avenues of positive and/or negative reinforcement either were not attempted or did not work. Also, I think that the entire Anthony "clan" was well-aware of Casey's dysfunction (as we have seen testimony from two different people of Cindy BLATANTLY spelling it out to Casey's boyfriends about her shortcomings and one of Casey's friends recalled Cin calling her a sociopath). I view the A household simply as "dysfunction junction"--my opinion.
Having said all this, I think there was a fight that went down on Father's Day. We've all heard the rumor. Jesse G. even allegedly asked Casey where was Caylee at one point IN LIGHT OF THE FACT there had been some squabbling at the A family home. More that has come to light regarding the fight:
1. It was Father's Day yet we have not heard that Casey spent any time with George or GGPA (instead was it spent with TonE).
2. CAYLEE was taken to Mt. Dora for the festivities and Casey did not go (was not invited or whatnot).
3. Neighbors allegedly heard a fight I believe that weekend.
4. Lee told someone (I don't recall which witness, I think there were two people he told) that there was a fight.
5. Casey told one of her Myspace buddies there was a "DRRAMMMA" 9 days before (which turns out to be Father's Day).
6. Casey never went back to the house when CINDY was there until the day Cindy essentially drug her home.
7. ...and so on.
We know that custody was something that had been discussed/threatened in the past (maybe on Father's Day too). For example, Cindy had the discussions with her co-workers before Caylee went missing regarding custody. Cindy had told her own mother about possibly going for custody and recounted her talks with the therapist. We hear from GGMA Plesea that Cin could not bear to kick Casey out. Then when you hear on the 911 tapes (between the calls when the tape was still running) Cindy talk about playing hardball with Casey and going for custody. Custody was not a "new issue" or "new topic" in my opinion.
What I'm getting at is there IN MY OPINION was a very nasty undercurrent going on in the A family household.
I have heard enough information that there was a fight on Father's Day and that Cindy likely believes Casey "up and left" with Caylee either that very night or the next morning. I used to think it was that VERY NIGHT but once we saw what clothes were with the little bones (not the outfit from Father's Day) and coupled with the phone records pinging from Hopespring (or near Hopespring). I think that Casey shut herself in her room (or Caylee's room) with Caylee and texted and phoned the night away. TonE would not allow Caylee to come over (my opinion) and Casey bided her time until the afternoon of the next day. I surmise Caylee was killed in her bedroom because items from the house were used in her disposal and she was not disposed of with her shoes.
Cindy has said that she "heard them breathing" through the door the next morning [Which is a very weird statement to make in my opinion] and George claimed he saw them that day (giving the Police a very detailed description of the clothes both Casey and Caylee wore). Caylee was not found wearing that outfit. Neither was Casey wearing said outfit when she was videotaped with TonE at the Blockbuster that night.
I think that Cindy was completely freaked out when Casey did not come home with Caylee. We have heard repeatedly (although Cindy denied it) that it was Cindy's habit to call and ask/make Casey come home when she was out at night with Caylee (see RM for one example). I think that as the days clicked by with no Caylee that Cindy and George BOTH were starting to put 2 and 2 together but perhaps their minds would not allow it to add up to 4. They were hearing these long, involved tales about Zani, Sam, Jeff, his kids, Jacksonville, and so on. George could have told Cindy that Casey was not in Jacksonville immediately when he found her at the house on the 24th and confronted her about the gas cans. They allegedly tried to get Lee to go and find her after futile attempts to meet Casey up at Universal. [Allegedly Casey stood up her mother but it looks like she went to Hopespring instead and raided the house.] Casey allegedly ran from Lee when she heard he was on the way to the club she was at on July 3. I think an exasperated Cindy took to the Internet and, knowing something was terribly wrong, wrote that missive "My Caylee is MISSING".
Her pings show that almost every day that Cindy went to work and George went to work Casey would go to the home and "do stuff". I don't know if she got clothes, food, a shower, stole money or what. I think Cindy and George knew this on a certain level
because Cindy told Casey's old friend down the street that she KNEW Casey was coming home and getting stuff but not getting anything for Caylee. 2 and 2 were adding up.
Once we get to the drama with the Sunfire I think logic was telling them there was a REAL PROBLEM, a serious problem. Their noses and their memories in their past job experiences were likely telling them both -- DEAD BODY IN THE TRUNK--THERE WAS A DEAD BODY IN THE TRUNK. The sunfire was registered in their name so...we cannot have a damn dead body in the trunk. In my opinion, the car was cleaned. Maybe they were not sure it was CAYLEE but I think on some level they knew it was likely a HUMAN body. It also interesting that she had to say on the 911 call that the car had been "stolen" because you don't want a murder pinned on you if you are the owner of a car found to have been roaming around O-Town with human decomp in it.
Cindy calls Amy H. and tells her she MUST get ahold of Casey, or the police may be getting involved. Over what? A box of pizza? She had not ever called the cops on Casey before (reference Lee saying "Mom has never called the cops on you before...") for stealing, was she really gonna turn Casey in on a car she'd never reported stolen and that Casey drove every day? I say "nope". I think she knew something was TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY wrong.
Her heart was hoping Caylee was not dead and she was playing this chessgame for her life. But I think her BRAIN knew--she even had an excited utterance, "It smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car." She KNEW it on many levels but she was in denial.
I think the denial ended once Lee got Casey to "reach out" and "open up" and Cindy whirled on her and said, "What did you do?" or "What have you done?" We've heard from the recent depos how allegedly both GA and CA feel they've thrown Casey "under the bus".
At this very point, I think they KNEW. I think it defies my logic for them not to have known past this very point...
My opinion on this is no more important that anyone elses and may be wholly incorrect. Sorry for the War and Peace but you asked for it...
Just one reason I think the enabling continues (and I won't do a mega-list here) is because even now the concept of "who threw Casey under the bus" is being discussed. Why is telling the truth being considered throwing someone under the bus? It just galls me.
