If Casey had just had the backbone to say she was abandoning her daughter and her parents could raise her none of this would be happening.
I don't think Casey had any intention of telling them. I think all the Blanchard park references, the phone lost there, her mother being worried about her jogging there after the June 9th killing of the jogger, and leaving her purse in the car when she abandoned it (like the victims car at Blanchard)... I think she was planning on leaving the car at Blanchard and dissappearing, but didn't have the follow through or the resources to finish it.
I wonder if there are more theft charges coming. Anyone who got their money back from the bank (Cindy and Greatgrandma) would have had to sign the same form Amy did which gives the bank the right to pursue criminal charges.
