After spending a significant amount of time reading the Reuters story on re-homing (which is highly disturbing), I am now extremely open to the possibility of casey going down that road. it is super late for me and im so tired my eyes are nearly bleeding, so I wont go into details of why right now....but I find it a valid theory now. way too many similarities and light bulb moments while reading it.
the link again (worth the read)
http://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part1
a number of people have been saying all along that there may be some truth found within casey's lies. this can be said for many people who lie....sometimes its easier to lie with a bit of truth weaved in as it comes off as more believable...so they think.
I have been pretty set on Erica no longer being alive at the hands of casey - to simply put it, I have believed casey killed Erica and disposed of her body somewhere. I have not bought the nan story AT ALL. my post history will show this.
but like I said, after reading the reuters article on re-homing, my stance has changed to believing that Erica may be a victim of re-homing. and if so, anybody who would have her (if she is even alive still) probably would not come forward as it would put a lot of people in trouble. [note: look up Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, or ICPC] now why wouldn't casey just hand Erica over to Carolyn or other family members? because Erica would remain in the family and not truly "out of site out of mind". too many chances for her to be reminded of Erica's existence...which clearly she wants NO reminder that Erica ever existed.
her story of nan could be based in some facts. maybe casey, who loved being online and is well versed in creating "ads", found one of the many re-homing groups advertising "free kid available" like they were an unexpected litter of kittens. she may have had a light bulb moment where she figured out a way to dispose of Erica. maybe she did meet this random unknown person and made an actual exchange. in the reuters story, Nicole eason would have random meetups with strangers and just exchange kids like a secret drug sale or like the article states, a "private used car sale". she would take them in and move them out w/out a 2nd thought. one of her handoffs was a boy placed in the "care" of a pedophile. and it was all done in a short amount of time.
After less than an hour outside the Fairfield Inn, Eason and Winslow drove off with a young boy, a commodity in America's underground market for discarded adopted children.
I see MANY similarities with casey parsons and Nicole eason. I believe that casey may have found an easy taker and no paperwork was required, nor none of Erica's belongings.
the websites/groups where re-homing hookups were thriving have either been removed or have gone deep underground, thanks to reuter's investigation.the U.S. government has taken no measures to restrict informal "private re-homings," custody transfers of unwanted children that often start in online bulletin boards, a Reuters investigation has found.
but I believe casey may have stumbled upon one of these places and found a way out of being responsible for Erica.(After Reuters asked Yahoo about the group, which has been active for nine years, the company shut it down for violating Yahoo's terms of service.)
maybe this is why casey is adamant about some "nan" figure, handing Erica off, Erica being alive, etc etc...and instead of admitting to re-homing via one of these groups...she created a story that Erica was with family and ok. which sounds better than "I handed Erica off to some stranger I found on a yahoo group"
based on the reuters article, it seems to be an epidemic which everyone is getting away with and really no national law enforcement agency is strongly pursing this issue.
"There's hundreds of people looking for new homes for kids," Mueller says of those who use the online bulletin boards. One participant referred to the re-homing forums as "'farms' in which to select children."
the amount of predators who would use these opportunities is great im afraid. and I don't think casey had a care in the world about possible predators. Erica could easily be with another arial castro type...and that worries me more than her not being alive anymore, sadly to say.
For prospective parents, the draw of re-homing is obvious: They can bypass some of the most basic but time-consuming government safeguards meant to protect children.
I now cant shake this plausible theory. I hope LE is looking into this theory too and find some evidence of it on their computers/phones.
