I don't know where to post this but I've got to post it somewhere. My 7 year old son is living with my mother in another state while I finish my last semester in school. Tonight my mother called me and the first thing she said was "he's gone". She then explained that she went to pick him up from his friends house and when she got there they said he'd left to walk home awhile ago. So my mother went looking for him and after 2 hours passed she called the police and then called me to tell me what was going on. I fell apart because I'm so far away and couldn't anything. I kept thinking about this case and I even tried to see if I could be calm (as if Casey was some example to follow lol) and it just wasn't possible. The police arrived immediately, got his picture, and started going door to door with it. Friends and family were driving looking for him. All of this within 20 minutes of being notified. It's a small town. So the police end up spotting him, after about 30 minutes, walking down the street with a woman and about 3 cop cars surround them. Turns out he'd met a new friend and went to her house to play. It was his friend's mom walking him home! She had no idea we were looking for him and my mother said she was terrified and very apologetic. I can only imagine what she had to be thinking when the cops pulled up! So he's fine. THANK WHATEVER FORCES THAT MAY BE!! I'm sending him a cell phone tomorrow!
I said all that to say...there is no way in the world, NO WAY, to remain as calm as I heard Casey be on those recordings. I actually tried it LOL!
I am so extremely proud of the LE in that town and my mother for handling everything so well. I was 10 seconds away from posting my son's picture on this board and asking for everyone's help to find him and he was only gone for 2 hours!
I'm not comfortable not knowing what the truth is in Caylee's case. Casey is numb. That's the only way to explain it. She's numb. She has to be in order to even be functioning without knowing where her daughter is or she accepts the fact that she knows exactly where Caylee is, what happened, and that there's nothing she can do about it now.
