I think the "control" issue is paramount. "Control Everything" seems to be what makes CA tick. I've seen it in countless interviews. The problem is that CA wants her way when she wants it BUT she doesn't stop to think about long term ramifications. Example: CA calling 911 three times, the 3rd time she is hysterical, spilling the beans about KC's stinky car. We all pretty much agree if she'd thought this through--we would have never known about Caylee. But CA's anger and her wish to control KC in that moment is the greater force. She couldn't have believed Caylee to be dead at this point or she wouldn't have called LE. And that plays out again and again. And she just doesn't want to control KC, it's everything and everyone around her, GA, LA, LE, FBI, reporters, etc. Example: CA coming out from visiting KC and telling a reporter that her daughter says she has never been shown a photo of ZFG by LE. Why does she feel the need to proclaim this on tv? She herself knows KC is probably a sociopath, she knows for sure she is a liar. Why can't she just keep her head down and her mouth shut? She really stuck her foot in it here, hasn't she now been included in the defamation case of ZFG? She doesn't stop to think. Remember KC telling a LE officer on the day of her arrest how angry her mom (CA) was to find out that LE had been taping her every time she talked to them? On those tapes CA tells them that she and GA went to an attorney and had all necessary legal paperwork done to ensure that the father couldn't come and take Caylee away if something happened to KC? That was all lies we find out. I am sure that they have her on tape telling quite a few mistruths. I am sure CA was incensed to find out there is proof of everything she told them, it won't be a LE said vs CA said type of situation as its all on tape. CA seems to have this compulsion to say whatever sounds good, whatever will put her in the best light at that moment in time. Like KC she doesn't think long term.
My point, (sorry for going on and on) is on the 15th I think CA was in a mental s@*t storm.....she knew that KC lies, so her head is swirling, she is trying to figure out what is truth and what is lies, she is ANGRY at KC, and IMO, part of that anger is stemming from the lack of CONTROL she has over KC, at this moment and in the past 30 days. She cannot get this girl to give up Caylee and it is pizzing her off!! CA has always called the shots, now KC is blowing her off.......so out of anger she calls 911. I truly don't believe that CA had gotten to the realization that the lies, the missing g-baby, and the stinky car added up to murder. I don't think so. Not yet. She's close, but not there yet...maybe unconsciously yes, but not straight up. She is still off balance from all KC has put them through in the last 30 days. She is thinking of KC stealing from her and her grandparents, thinking about the lies KC has told her over the last month, the stolen gas cans, the car towed, thinking about all AH and RP told her about KC, and she is wondering where Caylee is, pissed that KC is making her call LE to get to Caylee. There is so much more too. It has been building b/t these two. CA turned 50 and KC didn't even bother to call and say HB. I know as a mother I would be hurt and mad. KC has cost them soo much money. CA, IMO has many many valid reasons to be terribly angry with KC.(Not saying KC doesn't have her right to issues w/CA though) IMO, I think CA is thinking "oh so you wanna play hard ball? Fine...let's play hard ball", and she calls LE as a threat, to call KC's bluff. But in between the panic and the anger and the hurt and the threats, she is beginning to see the light, it is ever so slowly coming into focus. I think she got all the way to making the third 911 call and then......BAM!!..........she starts to really get it. IMO the moments after she spoke those words out loud about the car to the 911 operator is when reality bites. Now it is too late to take that 911 call and the "dead body smell in the d@mn car" words back. And not long after that, the dust begins to settle, she begins to put 2 + 2 together. As soon as LE enters her home, I bet you, she starts the CA jibber/jabber--enough to make any persons eyes cross into the twilight zone and just pray this woman will stop talking. It is classic CA......her issue to be in control, to be top dog, the shot caller of the family.....has now landed them knee deep into what will lead to her daughter being charged for murdering her daughter. Since there are no reports released that tell us what took place in regards to the car and LE in those first hours, we just don't know what happened for sure. But I bet you, once CA "got it"(which IMO is right after she spoke the words out loud in the 3rd 911 call about the car) that she didn't bring up the stink in the car to the responding officers. I bet if they asked about it, she knew she had to answer per her 3rd 911 call but I bet she did the double talk thing she does so well if they did ask. I bet she gave info about the car being towed and thats how they knew KC wasn't in J-ville and thats why she called AH to find KC, yada yada yada, conveniently skipping over the smell in the car. But since the car was in LE's hands 24 hours later, it somehow got put together. But my money is on LE putting it together from the 3rd 911 call not b/c the family insisted LE take it, analyze it, etc.
What is funny is that since GA walks in on this mess in the middle of it happening..... and b/c he knows to take cues from CA...I think he thought that since CA called LE, that gave him permission to talk to them. He didn't know that CA had a light bulb moment in the middle of the s*#t storm and realized she was incriminating her daughter so she starts down playing things now, going with the invisi-nanny story and poor GA is left several steps behind and is giving up lots of truth to LE! Seriously I think thats how that happened. For some period of time GA didn't know that CA did an about face and so he is speaking freely to LE.
GA knew as soon as he got to the tow yard that something died in KC's car. CA? I am not so sure she got it then. IMO I think it took CA saying the words out loud to the 911 operator. But IMO both of them had major, major doubt about KC's innocence in this thing by the time LE got to their house. They probably didn't have time to think alot of stuff through but instinct told them all they needed to know. At this point it seems like they did alot of contradicting things. They tried to "appear" to be forthright with LE but in their minds they were all sorting things out and realizing KC probably murdered Caylee. We know for a fact CA thought about Caylee being dead as one of her co-workers says she called them the night of the 15th and said something along the lines of "if that baby is dead I don't know what I will do". We know from GA, in his own words says that he wondered if KC or Caylee were in the trunk b/c he knows the smell of decomp.
There is definately room for the argument that they began to cover up for KC on July 15th. The simple fact that GA says he knows that smell in her car is decomp but he didn't call LE right away is enough. WTH?? GA will call LE to report a missing gas can but not when his grand daughter has been missing for a month and the daughters car is found towed with decomp smell in it???? WHAT? We have CA washing items from the stinky car and saying the non existant nanny stole Caylee. WTH again?? CA made that 911 call impulsively, in anger and frustration. Moments later.......if she could have she'd have taken it back. Since she couldn't she began her mission of trying like h#ll to make us all believe that KC is incapable of murder. We need more info on the first hours. Without those reports all we have are our opinions. JMO
