I have heard that when they find a body with a blanket or something like that spread over to cover the face it's often considered to be an indicator that the perp may have known the victim. And if you saw a body with lots of injuries to the face I would think this was an attacker with a lot of rage, stranger or not. But as far as duct tape on the face, of course we still don't know exactly where the tape was placed other than over the mouth area, but I think it's fairly common for stranger/predators to duct tape the victim's face, isn't it? One of our members here said when she was raped the perp duct taped her mouth and eyes. It seems like I've heard of it in cases quite a bit. For example, that predator who was attempting to abduct other little girls in Orlando during this time frame also taped their mouths with duct tape, IIRC.
I haven't seen any evidence indicating Casey had rage toward Caylee by the way, or anyone else who did. I think violent perps like sexual predators often engage in a certain amount of overkill, rage problems for sure, but not because they know the victim.
Quote above by Seagull65 was snipped for space and BBM.
SG65-
I accidently snipped the lower part of your quote where you say that by all of KC's friends accounts that KC was a good and loving mother. What I think we all need to remember is that KC presented a front to all. She lied about having a full time job, she lied to get her friends to babysit, she assimilated to fit in to the Grunds, she was a chameleon. Perhaps the only person to see through her was JPC as he told AH/RM that he did not want KC in his room when she came to visit. So they were basing their opinions on the person KC presented herself to be, not the person she really was.
As far as not seeing evidence of KC having rage toward Caylee, I think of KC seething about Caylee under the surface. Until the evening of the 15th, then she raged at both Ca & Caylee. Most abuse doesn't take place in the light. And much abuse, esp. the emotional & psychological is more subtle, it doesn't show in cuts & bruises. Have you ever watched the videos of Caylee that were taken by KC when they were home alone. They are unsettling, they make the hairs on my body stand on end, they are frightening, so I can only imagine what Caylee must have felt. Also the relationship b/t KC & CA being so twisted, one knows that this love/hate thing they had going on must have centered on Caylee once she was born. She was used by each of them to "get under the skin" of the other. One minute Caylee was being drawn near by one of them to get at the other, the next minute they were at each other because she had to be cared for. She was a wishbone.....and even though she was only 2, you know she felt it. I think the match that lit fuse may have been CA & Caylee going to MT Dora and coming back with the info that KC had stolen $ from SP. CA probably was lit up like a christmas tree, calling KC names and yelling at her............and when confronted by this anger in CA, the rage in KC boiled to the surface. Think of how many times CA probably called KC names over the last year, said nasty things to her (in front of Caylee too) and how many times did Caylee repeat words to KC that CA had said in anger. Caylee at 2+ is becoming more & more verbal, so she is repeating things w/o even knowing what they mean. IDK....I can see it, I can see it building in KC, and when Caylee started repeating things that CA said about KC.....maybe that was it. Of course we don't know that it happened this way, but from what we do know, it seems a natural progression to me. I can see KC going from seething about things, to the 15th when it boiled over, it exploded, and she did things she couldn't take back.
MOO
