This never crossed my mind until I read your post, but some of you may have had the same thought. Play on xanax "Zanny"? Perhaps the "baby sitter" was xanny? :waitasec:
Lots of people have suggested this possibility - the play on words.
I know people who buy it on the street to abuse recreationally (xanax), and they call them "zan's." Don't know if "zannies" is a street term or not.
I believe what happened to Caylee is very close to Bond's theory, except that I would note:
1- If KC indeed used cold medicine, I don't believe that COD was an overdose of cold medicine It could have contributed though, by sedating little Caylee. Add to the sedation, duct tape and being in the trunk = suffocation.
2- She could have been using xanax, which is actually where my money would go if I had to bet. Xanax could have caused an OD more easily than cold medicine.. Also, it would not have had the inconvenient side effects possible with cold medicine that have been noted by several posters.
Personally, I believe KC was likely using Xanax, or something similar, all along to sedate Caylee whenever she couldn't get a babysitter and wanted to party.
Actually I may be biased here though because my mother used to sedate us all the time when she wanted to have a wild party, or have a man over for a wild time. She would give us valium most of the time. I think that was more commonly prescribed back then (late 60's to mid 70's). She would then lock us in our bedroom, there were three of us.
One time the house caught on fire and we had to climb out the bedroom window because we were locked in. It's a wonder we didn't burn up. It was toward early morning though, and I guess the drugs had worn off by then. My oldest brother woke us up and took us out the window, so maybe we would have slept through the fire if not for him. Maybe since he was older the drug had less effect.
My mother was, and is, a very bad drug addict though, and she always had all kinds of drugs around, mostly sedatives because that's what she liked/likes. Qualuudes, valium, muscle relaxers, etc. In her mind, then, and now, there was nothing wrong with it (sedating us) because, after all, we survived didn't we. I actually think, in her mind, she was taking care of us by doing this so we wouldn't be subjected to what went on at the parties.
This was a common practice for her and several of her friends who had kids. So it's not much of a stretch for me to imagine KC could have easily done it. Especially if she wanted to party and a child was in the way.
P.S. We went to live with my grandmother after the fire.
