Caylee Anthony General Discussion Thread #79

[swa]

Does anyone have a guess on how long a dead body would have had to be sitting in that trunk to basically "ruin the car" with the smell?

Hours? Days?

Thoughts?

 

[chrisg]

pardon me, O/T but, does anyone recall, did they arrest Peterson before or after the bodies washed up?

After. In fact they waited for the DNA tests to come back and in those few days after the bodies washed up but before the results were in Scott planned his escape out of the US. They arrested him near San Diego, IIRC.

I believe they arrested him after the bodies washed up while they were testing for DNA to identifiy Laci's remains.

THe Craigslist posting would tie in with what I have speculated on about "illegitimate income". I still say Casey had to have money coming in somehow.

She did. The money Cindy was giving her for the make-believe nanny. :crazy:
JMHO

 

[tiffertots]

i don't know if this is against the rules...but there's someone with a myspace out there..I think it's under desdemonna or something from Texas...she has everything lined up timeline and all with awesome stuff on it about this case...I think she tried to join this site once...don't know if she ever did though...everyone should check her out

We discussed this a long ways back. There is just no way to determine whether the guy who posted this is legit. And I doubt Caylee ever had a job of any kind. The girl is too pretentious and thinks she's too good for work. Let along be a drug dealer, stripper or hooker.

Stripping happens more than you might think. You can do it without ever paying a dime in taxes too. I do know someone who worked as a part time stripper in Las Vegas. She was also a single mom and she did get her Doctorate using her stripper money. She would fly over for a a couple of days, collect the cash and fly back. She had to give the club a cut and I doubt they ever asked her full name. She's a tiny thing, about 5'1" and maybe 90lbs. I don't think she was much younger than Casey is now when she started stripping.
Casey could have picked up enough cash stripping only a couple of nights a week and knowledge of that type of activity may have been why Casey's former boyfriend decided to leave LE.

While DNA evidence will help answer some questions in this case -- it doesn't prove pre-meditated murder.

I believe the police believe she probably drowned in the pool as a result of some sort of neglect. (This is from WFTV.com)

If they believe she drowned -- then it would probably be considered an accident. They can't really charge her with murder for this unless they get some better evidence (This is my opinion)

I think they are relying on a lot of consciousness of guilt evidence. Such persistent lying to authorities, misleading and investigation, not reporting, etc. etc. is not normal post-accident behavior. So if they get evidence of death, they could charge her with homicide. I doubt they'd do it if there were countervailing proof of accidental drowning, but that's just conjecture for now.

I still think pushing a car into a lake is a pretty dangerous thing, and hard to explain to the person who comes to pick you up. Parking lot/dead car is much more normal and easy and ready to hand.

well, couldn't she have done it & then walked a bit, if she had to, to get where she could then be picked up without any questions asked? supposedly there are a ton of water possibilities extremely close, someone plotted them out ina thread a few days ago...

 

[swa]

I agree and I think we are all giving Casey WAY too much credit here... I personally don't think she is that smart.. I think she made up the whole story on the go while being confronted. She is probably like another Scott Peterson who never thought it would blow into such a huge deal. She probably figured mom and pop would go along with her story and "investigation" and not press her much.

I still can't get over the 911 call where Casey says to her mom "just give me one more day" and Cindy says "No, I've given you a month"... What did Cindy give her a month for??? To do what???

I agree with you. I believe that she thought she'd be able to manipulate mom and dad one more time and make them not freak out.

It did totally backfire on her. Maybe she had a "surface level" story in her mind -- but it wasn't fully worked out yet.
I wonder if Casey was planning on disappearing.

 

[Dorvillian]

I too think something was going on otherwise how did she pay for the partying etc. I tend to not think escort only b/c it didn't seem like she was living such a lavish lifestyle. The brands of clothes that were taken through the Search Warrant alone show that..I mean she had a George brand which is WALMART..MOSSIMO...which is Target. The other brands were very normal..nothing out of the ordinary as far as cost goes.

It's not like she was sporting expensive clothing and she seems very hung up on her appearance..changing hair styles etc. JMO...

I agree that the clothing choices, living and transportation choices make the call girl and drug runner theories much weaker.

She got free drinks at Fusion because Tony was a promoter there.

she;s the one who came up with the bellavida info if I remember correctly?

Cindy has never said (that I have seen) that she was giving her money for the nanny. That definitely would have raised questions about the job that she supposedly had at Universal.
If Cindy has said that she was paying for child care, can you give the link?

 

[tx_Dot]

I'm not in disagreement. Frankly, I don't think she's all that bright, but then again, why wouldn't she just sink it herself if she really wanted it to disappear? I'm really leaning towards believing that she wasn't sure what to do with it, was freaking out about her daughter, knew she couldn't call her parents, knew she couldn't take the car home (possibly having to face her parents,) so she left it there and thought she'd go back later to deal with it - I guess a similar rationale to what many WSers think she did with Caylee's body (if she is even deceased and was ever first in the Anthony's back yard, then later moved to a final resting place.) PRoblem was that it got towed before she could figure out what to do with it... again, why would she leave the exact pants in the seat that were (if some WSers thoughts are correct,) smelling like decomp??? What do you think of this?

Again, think simple....maybe the car really did run out of gas, that's why she had to call Tony. Left on Friday & towed Monday, before Casey recovered from party week-end. Maybe she did have plans to do something else with it & clean it out.

 

[SuziQ]

Ok thanks. Wow this thread goes fast. While you are typing, ten more people have posted! LOL. I am trying to tie down the dates myself. Not doubting anyone...just trying to reconcile discrepancies I have read!

It still doesn't make sense to me that she would be worried about washing the pants before finding Casey. Especially if the car smelled like a dead body! What if Casey had died in there? I could wrap my head around her washing them before LE looked at the car though. But this family does alot of strange things so who knows!

Oh yes! So many of us have pulled our hair out over the pants!

Well I'll be adding the car thing to my timeline as soon as I figure out what to link. If you or anyone find anything let me know.

 

[Openmyeyes]

Thanks for your answers about the car and who was involved in picking it up. I'm going somewhere with this, I really am, but I think I need to sleep on it. George being absent during this time says alot to me, especially since they both thought they smelled a dead body in the car.

I wonder if George has quit his job?

Good night everyone. Lets pray we get some answers tomorrow and Caylee is found.

OME

 

[TxRose]

Think simple....maybe it really did run out of gas & that not really where she intended to leave it......that's also why she had to call Tony for a ride.

I think it likely she did run out of gas. She stole the gas from her parents just days before. So she was clearly in need of it. She couldn't have lasted too much longer on the 3-4 gallons she stole. She was without a car for a little over a week...so she wouldn't really be able to go back and get it even if she wanted to. I wonder if after she borrowed Amy's car...if she tried going back to Amscot and the car was already towed.

I'll bet that this is the one thing that we do find to be true.... "EVENT PLANNER" maybe ... what type of "EVENTS?"

i have a hard time with the hooker idea myself. pretty girls can get money other ways. lol that sounds cryptic i mean men will often give pretty girls money jsut for being pretty.
eons ago i ahd a guy give me 100 dollars in a bar for no reason oither than i was there and he jsut got up and left

 

[blondietx]

After. I just told my hubby that the other day. When I start losing hope, I remember they waited almost 4 months to get him. And that one was a lot more straight forward that this case!

 

[liltigress]

Yes it could, but I was saying it would have been more tramatic to be raped and maybe she could have associated Caylee with that experience.

I understand completely and agree with that. But you know, I'm not so sure even a rape would traumatize her. If she's done what we think she's done, she should be in some zone where no one would ever reach her again. I just don't understand the minds of people like that.

If her own daughter died before her eyes or by her own hand and she had to carry her around, looking for a burial, can you imagine the trauma that would do to us? I would be in a room with 4 padded walls and nothing but a hairbrush.
