Yes, Casey could have been using his being Bipolar as one of her excuses for others to not believe him if he talked about Erica being missing vs moved to her grandmothers.
What I believe about Casey Parsons is that SHE believes her own story, and that she's got her "story" down pat. What I've noticed is that she says things as though they are fact, and she twists things around so they appear to have bits and pieces of truth.
Some of my observations........
The Biltmore comment is an example. She stated that it was "Nan" who told her they lived near the "Biltmore" but in other sections of the interview she says Erica told her "about" the "Biltmore."
=============================
(quote)
Casey Parsons: "when Erica went in September and November, she told us of the Biltmore house, the big house. So, I know she's seen it, I've never took her to seen it."
Vs
Casey Parsons: "No, Nan told me the home- it was fifteen minutes from the Biltmore house."
=============================
Another twist of wording is when Casey said that Jamie "knew" Nan as though he actually "met" Nan himself, as though he actually "talked" to Nan, as though he seen her with his own eyes, as though he spent time with her.
=============================
(quote)
Casey Parsons: "He was here the day that she walked out and went to Nan's. He watched her. All my other kids was too- watched her on- for the three week trip for Christmas, he watched her walk right out the door to go to the McDonald's to meet Nan. He knew Nan. He talked to Erica about the horses that she rode at Nan's all the time. He knew Nan. Erica talked to him about it several times."
=============================
If, in fact, Erica talked about somebody named "Nan" then Jamie "knew of Nan" not that "he knew Nan." But Casey says it as part of her "I'm telling the truth" story.
Another Casey Quote of twisted words:
=============================
(Quote)
Casey Parsons: "I've been talking to Nan since July 2011 and the first time I met her face to face was September 2011"
Reporter: She came here?
Casey Parsons: No, we met at McDonalds in Mooresville
Reporter: How did you meet her?
Casey Parsons: When we met her in July 2011, it was her biological mother who gave her all the information to contact us, and she knew all our information, she knew our names, she knew Erica's birthday, all about Erica's biological daddy and names, and she knew Carolyn, the biological mother, she knew everything.
Reporter: Is there any particular reason you met at Mooresville McDonalds?
Casey Parsons: "She had a 4 hour drive, and that actually the spot that she said she knew and asked us if we were willing to meet there and we've always met there. It's just that's where we went."
=============================
=============================
(Quote):
Casey Parsons: The 3rd trip she want to Nans on, that was the final trip where she stayed with Nan and was December 17th of 2011 and that was suppose to be a 3 week trip for Christmas. She'd already went and visited in November and come back and it was like a Thanksgiving but it wasn't on Thanksgiving week because she was with us that week. She also went in another week in September and come back.
=============================
She clearly states that she met "Nan" in July 2011 and says "we've always met there" (in Mooresville McDonalds). But then says the first time "face to face" was September 2011.
Her story clearly includes that she met "Nan"
FOUR TIMES, In July, September, November and December 2011.
=============================
(Quote)
Casey Parsons: All three times we met at the Mooresville McDonalds. All three times.
=============================
Regarding JonBenet........
And just a side note FYI. I don't know what book or magazine they found in the Parsons home, but during the JonBenet case, the Adolf Hilter quote was referenced in the Ramsey's book "Death of Innocence" regarding "The big LIE, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."
There was a lot of forum discussion back then that the Ramseys' would even include a quote by Hitler in their book, and then there was heated discussion as to whether the quote actually came from Hitler or Goebbels.
