I think CA is in denial but IMO her 911 call to the effect that "it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car" indicated that she really did know, at least on some level, that Caylee was dead. What other dead body would she think it could possibly have been? She probably said that because she was shocked, scared about Caylee, and didn't realize that the case would garner national attention.
Yes I agree CAs dead body smell comment tells us at some level she believed KC was capable of killing Caylee - possibly CAs worst nightmare. Thank you for reminding me I do not always write what I mean to say, and I'm sincere in that!
I believe CA had that fear for awhile, for months and maybe longer. IMO that’s why they tolerated KCs irresponsible behavior longer than she deserving of. Child custody laws are not based on grandparents fears.
I babbling onward, and OT, but I’m still stuck on the theory that Anthonys have been more cooperative with the police than the media has led us to believe. The face they put to the media was partly due to denial, but also I believe in the vain hope that if they showed “public support” toward KC she would tell the truth. That truth - what actually happened - is what the Anthonys need to know. They may have to sooner or later face the fact they may never get the truth, even if KC is convicted. Even worse if KC and her defense team play the parents-are-to-blame game.
I had read the transcripts of all three 911 calls months ago. By now anyone remotely interested in this case has heard or saw that one short segment of the 3rd 911 call around the dead body smell repeated over and over, to a point it’s become THE call. So yesterday I thought I would read the call transcripts over again. I happened upon the full audio files and listened to those for the first time.
My gosh, the full audio are revealing because of the verbalized emotions, missed altogether in the printed transcripts. KCs defense team won’t want those tapes played to a jury more than once.
I noticed CA was quite calm and almost businesslike at the beginning of the 1st call (must have been a little weird for the operators considering what she was calling about) and her tone moved to spilling forth with what sounded to be sheer desperation and panic by the 3rd call.
Then the operators asked to speak to KC ....didn’t appear to want second hand info from grandma. KCs voice was purely sullen and she spit out no more information than what was asked.....the total contrast to her mother’s emotional state is very revealing. KC makes a lot of emphasis on MY...no it is MY car, Caylee was with MY nanny, MY, MY, MY....
I’m including the link if anyone wants to listen or relisten. But it’s not pleasant so PLEASE save this sleuthing until after Christmas.....
