I at first felt it was an accident resulting from extreme rage coming from a person with personality disorder, caused in part from living in a dysfunctional home, that then in a panic used the kidnapping story to cover up her actions, hence the 31 day delay and the disappearing act with her parents.
When the first doc dump came out with the connection to Sawgrass I changed my opinion and felt that Casey had set up a fake kidnapping to extort money from her parents and grandparents and something went wrong and Caylee ended up dieing in the process causing Casey to have to abort any plans to get money hence her stealing from Amy as a last ditch effort to make it appear that she was so desperate that she would do anything to get Caylee back. That is the only thing that made any sense out of the manor that was so blatant in using Amys checks. That was still in my thinking accidental but would be a felony murder and that is why the DP came off the table.
After the second document dump and additional interviews confirming that for Casey life just went on with no apparent remorse and the Fusion pictures being part of that evidence were confirmed that they were after June 16 and not before I had to re evaluate once again and was now at the point that I believed she had long fantasized about killing Caylee and possibly both George & Cindy for the home and any insurance money and had started to developed a plan to kill them all.
Something,
the alleged fight, getting caught once again stealing money, her obsession with riding off into the sunset with Tony L. being jeopardized, threat of Cindy going for custody of Caylee
. Whatever it was that set her off caused her to kill Caylee outright without any pre-plan in place which is why she sitting in jail now with the SA saying overwhelming evidence of premeditation.
Even despite my logical thought process over these last months there was still this little tiny part of me that wanted to be wrong. Caylees remains being found, in a garbage bag and dumped along the side of the road like common household trash removed any fraction a doubt.
To me there is no I told you so in this sad case. There is only the regret that we have had to witness through the statements, the evidence collected and the hard work of so many the loss of a precious child at the hands of her own mother.
