My opinion ... Had Caylee drowned, Casey would have been calling 911 herself (after she verified Caylee had no pulse) and doing purposefully carppy CPR on Caylee whilst waiting for first responders to arrive. It would have solved the whole 'Caylee's a total buzzkill to my lifestyle' problem AND it would make FCA a perfect, tragic victim. The heartbroken mom. She'd know that Mom and Dad would be devastated for a little bit ... but it was an accident ... and Casey would milk the situation for all it's worth, both with all the attention (a fancy funeral and the focus will be MEEEEEE!) and with the "I can't work! It's only been 11 years! I'm still mourning!"
And Daddy wasn't complicit. Casey has no problem throwing anyone under the bus. Least of all her father. Why would she wait three years to throw him under the bus? As soon as she got arrested, she would have screamed, "It WAS an accident and Daddy made me throw her away! Bad Daddy! _enis in my mouth! Lee! Boobies! Heeeeeeelp me!"
And IMO, I think the only incest that *maybe* had happened in the past was some hinky consensual brother/sister experimentation that Casey may have actually instigated in order to have something to hold over Lee's head. George seems easily cowed by the women in his life. Between him and Casey, I see George as Casey's victim.
I'm on board with the state's theory. Although I do think there was a Cindy/ Casey altercation the night before (which lead to Casey acting in a rage) and I do think George is full of poo on seeing Casey/Caylee the next day. :twocents:
A side note: I like to imagine that today Casey was flipping between Fox And CNN, horns pulsating in her forehead and saying, "Who cares about the stupid debt ceiling? Talk about MEEEEE!"
BBM - I have to agree with you wholeheartedly !
If FCA WANTED Caylee GONE, then the pool drowning was the BEST scapegoat! She would have been a grieving mother and victim and in the clear. So if there EVER WAS a drowning, that is how Caylee would have been found, drown, in the pool or beside it, 911 would have been called.
But she didn't drown. ALL evidence points to the fact the FCA was stuck with a body she WASNT prepared to deal with.
I think she put Caylee in the trunk, duct taped her face and left her there while she went to rent movies with TonE. It's possible that there was only going to be ONE piece of duct tape just to keep her quiet but Caylee was likely fighting and crying and more tape was needed, hence 3. If Caylee was kicking and screaming, that would have pissed FCA off and she could have been enraged at Caylee at the time. In the trunk she goes, because, after the flurry of phone calls to find a sitter to no avail, FCA was NOT missing out on her date night with TonE.
I figure, FCA is dumb enough to think that Caylee would just sleep in the trunk for a few hours while she is with TonE and she will just take her out after the movie/makeout session is over. Except the Make out session never ended and FCA fell asleep late, leaving Caylee in the car for upwards of 16 hours, 3 pm - sometime the next day. This is when she now had a Dead body to deal with instead of just a child. The only place I waffle on this theory is whether she KNEW that leaving the baby in the trunk would kill her or not, Was it INTENTIONAL, or accidental. I lean towards accidental (stupidity) because of the body. As I mentioned, if FCA just wanted to be rid of Caylee and had been thinking about getting rid of her for a while, wouldn't the FAKED accidental drowning be the most logical way to do it. I mean, push her in your self? Let her walk up the ladder and just take it out and 5 mins later, no more toddler... But that's not what happened.
CASEY was stuck with an unexpected dead body. From that point on, everything is REACTIVE on her part. Her lies, the garbage bags, the laundry bag, all impulsive reactive actions. Even if FCA didnt use duct tape on Caylee in the trunk sitting incident, then the tape went on when the bags went on, because the tape was in the garage, with the bags.
But anyone who has been thinking about murdering their own child for months, will have enough stinking common sense to NOT dump her on the same danged street they live on. You might as well put a flag near her body with your name on it... Premeditation involves the END not just the means.. Anyone who is thinking about killing anyone, KNOWS that they will have to do something with the body eventually. and if you put enough THOUGHT into it, you will be smart enough to dump that body somewhere that no one will find it...
FCA dumped Caylee where she did because
A) she is a tiny weak woman and couldn't CARRY her much farther that 30 feet from the car. Hence the Laundry bag to make transportation easier.
b) She needed to dump her FAST to stifle the smell that was now putting a downer on the car/freedom thing.
c) She didnt put any thought into WHERE to hide her, it was entirely impulsive and she was distracted with Men and her own personal interests to put much more thought into what she was doing.
If you look at aerial shots of that area, near the school and the green space, there are MANY MANY more secluded areas that Caylee could have been dumped, but FCA was too busy, too lazy, and frankly, too stupid to bother.
I do think there was a point where she WANTED that body moved, and she was fishing for her brother to do it for her, and he was playing along with her, with no intention of actually MOVING Caylee, but instead FINDING her and putting her to rest. I think it was only AFTER FCA was arrested the first time that FCA finally stopped to think, holy crap she is so close to the house, they are bound to find her. But it wasnt until she was in jail. She thought she was in the clear.
I think, FCA thinks that people are very gullible and the physical size of the world is DISTORTED to her. The Real world is Distorted to her. She doesnt connect things like others do. So out of sight out of mind.... That's all there was to it, until she was locked up. Same thing with the car. She just LEAVES it in the amscot, no after thought about it other than, i need to get some gas. Until it goes missing.
