I have not noticed this discussed on the board, but the charge details in the criminal case docket filed on October 14 show an offense date of June 15, not June 16. AFAIK, this is what the prosecution originally filed. A post waaaaay back on Nov. 4 by tennisgirlsc asked specifically about this, but given that it was a pretty busy day for posting, her question seems to have been overlooked.
By October 14 when the charges were filed and the final arrest made, the investigation was 3 months old, lots of interviews had already taken place and the cell logs had been endlessly studied. So one would think the prosecution would record a date they had confidence in, right? :waitasec:

Just to note, the original charge on July 16 incorrectly listed the offense date as July 9 - they meant June 9, which is what they were led to believe at the time.
Could this have been because, despite GA's detailed description of seeing Caylee on June 16th, his credibility (as that of the other Anthony family) may be suspect or influenced by ulterior motives - so that LE made the prudent decision in October that, for all intents and purposes, the last actual date she was seen that was verifiable by an outside source was June 15th?
My initial thought is +1 to CecyBeans. After fam proved unreliable..."once bitten"...they went w/ the independently verifiable sources @ the nursing home.
That being said...JWG...you twisted my arm
If I was keeping count it'd be somewhere around theory#99, but, one could consider the following...
Going the simple route...
Sunday, 6/15/08
- Perhaps Cindy had Caylee in the pool when Casey got home 6/15 ~7:30PM. Cindy and Casey exchanged words.
- Cindy got out...too cold.
- Caylee protested. Cindy said, "I have work tomorrow...you need to watch Caylee" and went inside, eventually going to bed.
- Casey "watched Caylee" from the backyard/porch & texted away while Caylee played in the playhouse, etc.
- Ladder left on the pool...Caylee decided it was self-service & climbed in.
- Casey, lost :hypno: in her texting finally realized things were too quiet when ~9:30PM rolled around ...dark... self-servingly *thought* Caylee was maybe playing quietly in her playhouse.
- In the 39-minute period of inactivity Casey recovered Caylee's body from the pool and carried her to the sandbox area (away from G&C's bedroom window).
- Casey attempted to express water from Caylee's lungs...resulting water & decomp fluid left there for K9's to alert on later.
- Casey got duct tape from the shed to stem the water/fluid oozing from Caylee's lungs to enable her to be carried inside and placed in the bed overnight.
- Casey figured she had to last until morning when she could make a legit getaway. IOW...she couldn't suddenly disappear under the circumstances...+ in heavy-duty denial mode.
- Casey texted the night away with Tony to stay distracted.
- George arrived home from work late that night...none-the-wiser.
Accumulated Degree Day results w/ an 8:30PM 6/15 t.o.d. and in the trunk @ 4:20PM 6/16 w/ a 10% tolerance yields an earliest window for bagging as 6/18 3PM. Casey's 6/18 trip to G&C's...~2:30-3:45PM. Doable. Simple.
Cindy...realized sometime after 7/15 what prolly happened and invented the 'tucked them into bed' & 'breathing behind the door' stories as a desperate measure.
George...either realized after-the-fact he needed to place an alive-Caylee leaving w/ Casey when he was giving his statements...or...honestly mis-remembered and gave an account of an earlier day...e.g. 6/13 as has been suggested.
Now...plenty of holes to poke in this one IF it were true. Namely, why didn't Casey get outta the house w/ the body after Cindy left for work 6/16AM and before George woke up later in the morning? How could Casey get the body past George IF she left before him (methinks Casey was @ the house when George left 6/16 FWIW). Continuing down this line...perhaps Casey didn't flea immediately so she could collect her thoughts (although that shouldn't take long...10-minutes-worth-and-all ) Evidence suggests when Casey left 6/16PM that she wasn't planning to be gone for the 'long haul'.
So, in context, see theories 1-98 that typically involve t.o.d. AFTER Casey left G&C's 6/16...Just offering this one up FWIW...not trying to suggest it is THE one.
