Did Casey want Caylee to be found fast?

[BetsyB]

I voted "other." I don't believe that Casey Anthony thought much beyond what worked for her in the moment.

She got as far as planning the murder of her daughter. She did not proceed beyond that because, well---it was time for the bella vida!

The body was an inconvenience to be disposed of as expediently as possible---when it fit into her schedule. How and when it was found didn't matter one whit.

 

[madeleine]

I wanted to vote for 2 options.
Not sure if it's no. 2 or no. 3

 

[Hope for the Best]

I voted yes, but now that I think about it a little more, I think no. I agree that I think she was trying to tell Lee where to look for her, but it didn't work, because I think Lee was looking for an alive Caylee, and why on earth would an alive Caylee be in those woods all alone? If he were truly buying her story, she also said that she felt like Caylee was ok. Not that I think Lee bought her whole story, but I think at that time, he put logic aside and went with what she was saying in hopes of getting Caylee back.

 

[embracing crazy]

Initially, I would have said no. But I actually think that she DID try to hint and make suggestion as to where people should look, in hopes they'd find the body and be able to make the kidnap story seem more plausable.

Hence her repeated comments about the search needing to stay local, feeling Caylee was "not far" etc. If she'd come right out and said, "look by the school", well...that would have been too obvious. But by using the whole maternal instinct BS as an excuse, she might have been able to bring searches close to where she wanted them to be.

Casey is stupid in some ways, and smart in others. This type of calculated and strategic planning would be consistent with her overall behaviors for the past 3 years.

MOO.

I totally agree and posted a similar comment elsewhere. I think KC honestly believed that if she were found her kidnapping story would work and she'd be off the hook. duh. duct tape was used post-mortem for staging and her comment "if they never find her, guess who gets to spend an eternity in jail" makes perfect sense in her world. and yes, she is smart at times and very stupid at others.

 

[sha-sha]

Does anyone here know if the area where she put the body, when flooded, has alligators? If it does, Casey would know that (having lived there so long). In that case, I would say no she was hoping alligators would show up and permanently dispose of the body for her.

 

[coltsgal]

I don't believe Casey wanted Caylee found.

No body...no murder. I think that was her thought process.

 

[Pollywog]

I think had she wanted her found she would NOT have waited 31 days to report her missing. Had she planned to use the kidnap story and get away with it, she would have reported her missing shortly after it happened. I think she got panicked when GA wanted to look in the trunk and she took her to the closest place she could at that time. I do not think the body has been moved. I think that is the original place she dumped her when Klee started to really smell in the trunk. KC was just not that smart IMO.

 

[nursebeeme]

oh snap! I just voted wrong LOL! I wanted to vote no. I voted other. I think she dumped it fast (and I think she is not so smart and never in her wildest dreams thought she would be paying for what she did and that LE would find the body and pin it on her....I do not think she had any devious planning into where she placed it at all)

George Anthony said he spoke with his jailed daughter, Casey, for about 45 minutes over the weekend and asked about missing Caylee.

"I wouldn't wish this on anyone," George Anthony said. "She said, 'Dad, we're going to get her,' "And I said again, that's another question and I said, 'Where is she?' 'Dad, she's close, she's close,' (Casey Anthony said)."


Hmmm....George ain't a stupid man IMO
Do you really think he bought her nanny story?
Maybe she tried to tell him??
I don't think he didn't check this out.I am sure he tried to figure out what she meant by it."She's close,she's close'

Question is,what did he do about it?

 

[maza]

This was a light bulb moment for me yesterday.

I think KC thought Caylee would be found right away. That's why she made a point to tell everyone Caylee was with the sitter and she was out partying hard. I think she was prepared to be the devastated mother with a baby murdered by the babysitter.

She was not prepared to be the mother of the missing child, that's why her story was so lame. She's no good at switching gears mid game. If Cindy would have given her 1 more day like she asked I'll bet 911 would have gotten an anonymous call about a strange odor/package right where Caylee was found.

In the long run the truth would have come out, for all the prepping KC had done she was surely no mystery writer.

and the kidnapping story was a plan B. wow. that made my lightbulb go off :idea:

 

[athy]

i don't think it really mattered to casey if the body was found or not. i believe she didn't plan on her mom calling the LE and that she was trying to gather the money to be able to leave town. perhaps she wanted them to think something happened to both of them, perhaps she was going to say caylee was with her. that's even if she was planning on contacting family at all after she left town. i believe she might have planned on just disappearing, thats why her car was left at amscot with her pocketbook to make it look like someone carjacked them.

 

[PoppyH]

I don't believe Casey wanted Caylee found.

No body...no murder. I think that was her thought process.

ITA, I voted She did not want her found fast because of the same reason

 

[FloridaKatz]

Yeah it seems that the clothes are closer than the body?

She had 31 days to get rid of the clothing, so I think the clothing went out with the trash and will not be found.

The bolded part by me.

I don't think so. IMO, if Cindy had given Casey one more day she would have made a run for it.

Casey had given NO thought to ANY story to anyone except for telling Cindy enough to keep her off her back. Her "Zanny did it while I was at work" has to be the worst alibi in the history of crime.

Caylee was gagged to keep her quiet so Casey could chloroform her before she "broke her neck" or hit her on the back of the head. (That is why Casey couldn't make a deal with the state. Finding Caylee would make things worse.)

The kidnapping story was winged at the last minute just like disposing of Caylee. She came up with it when she was trapped and couldn't get away.

Caylee was left on where Casey regularly went. It was convenient. Casey had to drive by there anyway.

Her "hints" to her family are because she can't stop talking. All her boyfriends said she talked a LOT. Cindy said she had learned there are seeds of truth in Casey's lies so the story telling with "hints" was part of Casey's lying MO before Caylee's death too.

Casey didn't want to get caught. Her MO is to scatter truth in her lies to live further on the edge. Sociopaths don't steal as much from need as from needing the excitement to feel alive.

Their relationships don't give them that.

IMO

FYI: Everyone on this forum is awesome. I have followed the case just from reading here.

Anyways, I think she wanted her found in the first 30 days, which as someone else stated was why she told everyone that Klee was here or there with the nanny when noone even asked.
Grieving mother would be alot easier than missing child mother. Her story made no sense from day one when she did not report her missing. She looked more guilty from not reporting it than anything else in the beginning.
But if they had found a childs body and it was on the news, then KC tried to contact the fake nanny, then report Klee missing, LE would have been sympathetic to the situation instead of looking at her. Changing her story cause her car got towed and CA found her and expected her to produce Klee messed her plans up. The Fusion pics are of a happy KC cause she was portraying to her friends that all was well, Klee is with the nanny.
The car smell and check stealing from Amy really doesn't make sense, still haven't figured those out, or how she would explain them. Other than maybe she didn't count on video in the stores.
Blah, Blah I hope I am making sense!!

 

[Origrammi]

Yes, she already set the stage telling her DAD that Caylee was going to the sitters and told the BF that Caylee was at the sitters and the beach etc. The story wore thin after awhile. It seems everyone stopped asking except Cindy. Out of sight, out of mind for everyone except Cindy.

The light bulb just came on. I feel so stupid. Of course you are right.

Naturally she didn't dispose of the body at Sawgrass or JBpark because she's lazy. Just one step that could be passed over because....the Nanny had a key to the house (explaining anything house related turning up)...Nanny teaching her a lesson (framing her by putting the body in Casey's old hangout)

Of course...it makes sense.

 

[passionflower]

I voted yes, because kc gave allot of clues to GA (she's very close); told LA about childhood familiar places-mom knows) etc. then that very odd comment by kc about 'if Caylee is never found,I'll spend my life in jail?' In family code speech the A family should of known where CAYLEE was.........IMO

good observation. that comment was always troubling. so, perhaps she wanted Caylee to be found because she was 100% sure she had staged it to look like a kidnapping.

how many times can i vote? :crazy: i vote yes, no, maybe, other

 

[sandcastles4me]

No, I do not think she ever wanted her to be found. I think in her fake reality she thought it would never be so. She possibly wanted to dump her fast for some reason and went to a place close to home that she new well. She may have even planned to move her at some point but the area got flooded with water. I still wonder that in October when JB asked the court for her to be able to travel to places in secrecy at night, She was planning to move the remains. The water was receding at this point and she new that they could be discovered. I will always wonder about that.

 

[Tinsel]

She had every intention of fleeing out of state, but it seemed she wanted her cake and to eat it too. She didn't want to give up her trusting boyfriends and friends from whom she could steal. She didn't want to drive a stinky car, she didn't want to get a job ... she was floundering and went home with her tail between her legs as soon as her mother became livid.

KC was partying, dating, and stealing money, buying padded bras and beer. This tells me she did not intend the body to be found. She did not lay any significant groundwork to stage a kidnapping.

Her lies and back up stories are only half-baked. There's so much more she could have done to stage a kidnapping.

I believe it was death by sedation and suffocation. I believe it was premeditated. I think her mother was going to hold her accountable for the baby, and she decided that taking the baby out of the equation was the way out of ever having to grow up and get a job. Everything KC did was a way of avoiding growing up. Couldn't even get 1 credit to get a diploma! Even her parents were holding onto her too.
