Theres no heart sticker
Theres no dna
Theres no fingerprints
Theres no decomposing hair
Theres no matching duct tape.
The states case is falling apart before our very eyes.
Evidence leading up to the crime is very important to me.
Okay, the following evidence has been cited ad nauseum but I will repeat it here:
1. A mother fails to report that her 2 year old child is missing, ever.
2. For 31 days after mother's child "disappears", mother actively hides the child's whereabouts and lies about the child's location and who she is with, to her friends, family and casual acquaintances.
3. For 31 days after mother's child "disappears", mother, casey Anthony, parties and is photographed looking happy and relaxed. During that same time period, mother gets a tatoo of an Italian phrase meaning, "Beautiful life". Friends and others notice nothing wrong whatsoever in casey's demeanor.
4. The evening of the very day casey later claims her kid was kidnapped, she is caught on tape walking happily with her boyfriend into a store to rent videos. The child is nowhere to be seen.
5. The grandmother becomes more and more concerned about the grandchild and keeps pressuring casey to bring the child home or to allow the grandma to see or speak with the child. casey repeatedly lies and says the kid is elsewhere and that they will be home soon.
6. During the time period in which the child is missing, casey makes a few references to a rotten smell in her car, stating on one occasion that her dad hit road kill and on another that squirrels crawled into her engine and died.
7. After making reference to the bad smell in her car, casey abandons the car, her only source of transportation, lying to her boyfriend that her dad is coming to pick it up and fix it.
8. When casey leaves her home with her 2 year old child on 6-16-09, never to return, she brings no supplies or extra clothes for her child.
9. When the abandoned car is finally located, casey's mom, dad and father all report the overhelmingly strong smell of death emanating from the trunk of the car.
10. 31 days after the child disappears, casey is confronted by her mother and finally states that when she went, after a full days' work, to pick up Caylee from her long-term babysitter, Zenaida Gonzales' home, Zenaida and the baby were no where to be seen. She admits that the child has been missing ever since and that Zenaida has her.
11. The police are called. casey takes them on a wild goose chase to help find Zenaida or Caylee, taking them to several places where no Zenaida has ever lived, even taking them to the place casey claims to work at. casey eventually admits she does not work there. When asked why she brought the police there, she flounders for a reason. It is then discovered that not one person other than casey knows who this Zenaida is. casey has lied about how the babysitter was referred to her and who else knows the babysitter. casey has lied about the existence of people she supposedly works with, even creating fake e-mail addresses of fake people, all to maintain the illusion that she has a job and needs her parents to watch the kid at night when she works. Neither the police nor the FBI, nor defense investigators nor Anthony family PI's can ever find a trace of Zanny the Nanny. casey, an avid photographer, can produce not one photo of the woman, not one person who has ever met her, not one valid address for her nor a phone number or e-mail address for the woman she claims to have employed for two years. casey lies about phones she has lost and gives twisted explanations for why she has no phone number for the sitter. She persists in claiming this illusive woman has the baby, though and in the meantime, precious hours continue to slip by, added to the 31 days casey refused to report her child missing.
12. Cadaver dogs hit on casey's trunk and her backyard.
13. casey is jailed. She shows no sense of fear or panic or sorrow over her missing child but merely wants her boyfriend's phone number and gets very angry when anyone wants to ask her about her lies or lack of emotion.
14. Tests done on casey's trunk reveal the presence of decomp.
15. It is discovered that
months before Caylee went missing, someone searched on the computer casey always used, for the terms "missing kids" breaking necks", "shovels" and "chlorofrom".
16. Days after Caylee disappeared, casey asked to borrow a shovel from her neighbor's, and was then seen backing her car into the garage, two things that she had never done before.
17. High traces of chloroform, the very substance earlier searched on casey's computer, are found in her trunk, with the decomp.
18. casey insists on being bailed out of jail so she can assist with the search. She alludes to not being able to talk from jail for fear of someone harming Caylee. casey is released. She changes her story to having Caylee forcibly taken from her by Zenaida and her sister, with two children in tow. She states she was given a script to follow for 31 days by Zenaida. The names of the sister and children are given as well as a description of the car. Again, despite efforts of police, FBI and private investigators employed by both the defense and the Anthonys, not one trace of a script, or of Zenaida, her sister or these two children are ever discovered. After her initial arrest, casey never speaks to LE again about the investigation into the disappearance of her daughter.
19. casey is re-arrested. She refuses to speak with her parents via phone or jail visits, again.
20. Caylee's remains are found within a mile of her home. She was wrapped in a laundry bag that matches one found in the Anthony home and a garbage bag that matches bags in the home. From the way vegetation is growing through the bones and by the state of decomposition, it is apparent that the body was there since late June, early July of 08. The way the body was found matches profiles of children killed by their mothers. Duct tape is wrapped around the skull and is sticking to the remaining hairs on the child's skull.
21. Despite earlier showing no emotion when the news discusses possible remains of a child found in a local waterway, casey hyperventilates and needs a sedative after hearing that a child's remains were found by Suburban Drive. At that time, the identity of the child was not yet released.
I could go on and on. Frankly, even without the body, there was enough evidence for me to vote guilty of first degree murder. The cumulation of evidence in this case is overwhelming, without DNA,
without a heart-shaped sticker, without fingerprints or decomposed hair (the latter which I believe does exist). Just becuase we get "news" of some new evidence that eventually turns out to be a false lead, does not mean this case is anywhere close to falling apart. Sure we'd all like fingerprints, DNA, etc., but this is not CSI and in the real world, tons of cases with less evidence than what we have here, result in convictions. Prediction? After years of circus acts and nonsense that a hyper media and a sleazy defense shovel at us, casey Anthony will be convicted and will never see the free world again.
