Cindy's interview with Megyn Kelly....that's where it all started for me. I thought oh this is gonna be good. That woman killed her baby and grandma is trying to cover. By the time the inverview was over, I was hooked. I love Megyn Kelly now!

In the past I was interested in the Jon Benet case & Lacey Peterson cases. When I heard the THIRTY-ONE days & that the nanny's apartment was empty, and the LIES, LIES, crazy LIES! I knew this case was not going to end well for sweet Caylee. The varied & plentiful evidence astounds me and I'm obsessed to find every scrap of information available. What keeps me coming back is the weekly twists & turns that I could never have imagined. What case can compare? While I work I listen to the audio files of depositions, phone calls, & police interviews. I look forward to the hearing to learn as-of-now unreleased evidence. I want to know every detail & to watch every minute of the trial until Casey is convicted & either sentenced to life in prison or put to death. I don't think she will ever admit to killing Caylee, just like Scott Peterson will never admit his guilt. Nor will Cindy & George admit that Casey killed Caylee. So sad for everyone.

I fell in love with a precious little girl named Caylee who sang and laughed on videos. It was delightful to see the Life alive in Caylee. A Joy. A Gift.
She was still missing. I got caught up in hoping they'd find Caylee alive. Things bothered me like the 31 days and the car reeking of death.
The mother in this case is a hmm...narcissistic, strutting, evil-eyed liar. She doesn't want to talk about her missing daughter! Her family is bizarre. Enter the rest of the circus, and from then on it just keeps rolling like a giant turd. (did I say that?)
This case has sucked me in deeper than I imagined. I pray we see Justice for Caylee to the fullest extent for all those involved. So, I had to join WS, and confess I am Curious Me.

For me it really wasn't so much about, Caylee. I watched and heard so much about Casey and all her lies. I became enthralled in this case. For me no missing or murdered child is any different or more special. They all should get the same attention, but that isn't the case IMO. I don't think Caylee is any more special then, Adji or a hundred other missing or murdered children that get very little or no media attention.

Everytime I start to move away something else happens -
Caylees journey to justice has been a wild unusual ride so far.
I am looking forward to this being over - and the anthonys falling off the radar
The trial is going to be fascinating .

I have a daughter named Haylee, who when she was tiny had a winnie the pooh nursery. This is what initially drew me into Caylee's case. The similarity of the names. Once I learned the scenario of the crime, and saw Caylee's little sad eyes, I was hooked. I just want to see justice done by this tiny child who never had a chance. It's appalling to me that her family doesn't seem to want it as much as we all do.

Same for me - I just "knew" from the get-go that there had to be more to this particular missing child case than was initially reported.
I was half watching the News when the item about Casey being arrested came on- this mother whose child had been missing for 31 days was being escorted out of the Police Station and she was smirking, almost laughing. That gave me goosebumps. At that moment I felt she had killed her and was feeling pretty cocky about the whole thing. Everything I have seen since has only confirmed my view.

I've been following since day 1...When it broke on the local news....Orlando is only a couple hours away from me, so it showed on our local news, and my first thought was that something was way off and somehow Casey was involved. The night that Casey was arrested I had pneumonia and I watched from my hospital bed....I prayed so hard that night that this would be the start of justice for this beautiful baby.

I'll never forget when I was flipping through the channels on July 17th or 18th 2008 and happened upon NG. She was talking about a mother who didn't report her 2-year-old daughter missing for 31 days and further stated that when the police went to the apartment of the child's nanny, no one had lived there for a long time. They showed KC in handcuffs in her jailhouse blues smiling and tripping in the courtroom - you all know the scene. I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that a mother would not report her child missing and would lie to the police. NG showed pictures of Caylee and my heart broke. I knew she was gone forever. I've been obsessed with this case since that day and am 100% devoted to getting justice for Caylee.

Of course, since I live here, watching the story on the news as it was breaking was pretty bizarre. The day of the bond hearing, 7/22/08, I was sick; laying in bed, I flipped to CF News 13, and they had just started broadcasting it live. I was riveted.
And, of course, have been riveted since.
Enough to start getting the docs, so we could sleuth the cell pings and try to figure out where Caylee might be. And go searching, when the time came...
Sure wish I would have recorded that entire bond hearing though! Only parts of it seem to be available.

What drew me to this case?
Ever once in awhile I am driven to follow a kidnapped childs case a natural desire to worry for the innocent, and hope they will be OK, and often they are and you have a happy ending.
Shortly before his one broke, I had become enthralled by the Shannon Mathews case in England, and was fascinated by how very differently kidnap cases are handled over there.
If you have not heard of that case, an 8 year old went missing and was assumed kidnapped, and for two or three weeks it was all over he British press, and was the largest manhunt so far in that country. Her mother was in her mid-thirties, a welfare mother with 7 kids by various men, 3 of which were in custody of various fathers, and she was living with her 21 year old boyfriend who had fathered her youngest, and the Mother was on TV a lot begging for her return, and giving out address of where to send donations.
Finally the child was found, hidden in the apartment of an uncle of the mothers boyfriend who was mentally and physically disabled, and who had lost custody of his own 2 daughters.
The country celebrated, but for some reason the police did not return Shannon to her mothers custody. No explanation was given, and so unlike the US, the media, he family, and even the neighbors and the thousand who helped searched, did not publicly speculate why he police and social service was keeping he child in custody. About a week went by and he boyfriend was arrested for having child *advertiser censored*, and I thought that was the reason they kept the child, but another week or so went by, and still no demands from anyone hat he child be returned to the Mother, everyone gave he police time to investigate the case, and then finally the mother was arrested. It seems she had cooked up he idea in the hopes that people would donate a lot of money to find a missing child, and she would get all he donated money.
And thus when this case broke with all its bizarreness, I kept hoping it was just some crazy scam the mother and perhaps the grandmother thought up to dupe others, It was obvious he Mother was guilty of something, but I kept hoping it was short of murder. Then finally I realized there was no hope, the only explanation was he mother killed her child. Bu, by them I was hooked, even though this one there could be no happy ending.

..i don't remember what news article i first heard that alerted me to this case..
..but i do know, it was accompanied by pics, or portions, of her 1st court appearance:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS-qSflO43c[/ame]
...i was astounded-----i expected to see the mother of a missing 2 year old!!! absolutely breaking down, begging for her return-------and yet, nothing. kc acts SO nonchalent at the hearing , even when the judge mentions caylee being gone for 31 days-----she just blinks and juts her chin up, as if, "ok, now you're starting to annoy me".
..i knew that day that caylee was most definitely not "missing"-------have kept glued to the case, and will stay until we hear "guilty!"
..caylee's own grandma & 'jo-jo' have abandoned her, even though we can't all be there physically in the court room, caylee knows she has MANY people sitting "on her side".
...i came because of the actions of kc-----stayed because of the actions of kc---her parents---her lawyers---the antics OF her lawyers----her (bizarre) parents on tv---and one bizarre thing after the other.
..i'll definitely be here for the verdict.

I always thought too in the beginning that it might be some kind of scam and that Casey was so smug and unconcerned because she thought she and whoever else was in on it were so clever (and that she knew Caylee was safe). She was pulling a good one over on her folks and worrying them to death, she was getting attention, she was leading police around, and she was impressing her scamster buddies by playing the role and not betraying them or the scam. Either that or that Casey just wasn't all there mentally, that the actual danger Caylee was in was not registering with her, she was in some kind of bizarre denial or maybe traumatized by something that had happened or that she'd had some break with reality to some degree. Or that she was just really foolish and thought some friend or associate had Caylee but that no one would harm Caylee, and that she was not cooperating with police because of some foolish and arrogant social code about not talking/cooperating with LE (which I do think is probably true, the last point there.) I always considered the possibility that Casey was covering for a boyfriend, too. After all, that's a pretty well-known phenomenon where sadly some women fail to protect or help cover up after the fact. :furious:
Later when Caylee's remains were found and Casey hyperventilated to the point of needing meds, I thought, maybe she knows now that the scam wasn't what she thought or that it had gone horribly wrong, or that her friend or associate wasn't trustworthy and what a fool she was, or maybe she realizes now that who she thought had Caylee probably wasn't the one who had Caylee. Maybe she momentarily faced the reality, before slipping back into her la-la land where she thinks she's like a kid at camp and nothing is wrong.
She always seemed like she knew more than she was telling and that she might be involved as an accessory in some way or guilty of some other intertwined crime or something, but I've always thought she might not be guilty of the murder itself, (or else it seemed like she would have left town, or reported the disappearance immediately and put on an act of being frantically worried, etc.)
The concern for Caylee, the desire for the truth to be found, and the many mysteries of the case, Casey's behavior, so many people having been around Caylee prior to her disappearance with very few of them being really investigated (i.e. their clothes, apartments, movements, timelines, backgrounds, etc), the bizarre circumstances regarding the discovery of the remains, the many weird coincidences, even that other case of those attempted abductions of little girls in the area with duct tape and blanket and shorts gathered from the house, etc, all of these kept me wondering.
The main thing that has made me unable to walk away from the case is simply the desire to know the truth and to see Caylee finally get justice.

Justice for Caylee keeps me involved now...
Especially when I see her grandparents have not defended this precious, innocent baby, seems Caylee needs a voice...if my little posts on the internet can bring awareness to one person, then I've done what I've set out to do.
I think it's very important to understand the mind of the one who sits accused and I wait for the day that person is held responsible for their actions. Even as I am not a mental health professional, I can feel that Inmate Anthony had been disconnected from this precious child and the more the family dynamics are exposed, the more I feel my beliefs are right on..Inmate Anthony's behavior is a huge clue as to why Caylee Marie was taken from this earth. Her narcisisism is also evident and she truly "thinks" she will be set free. I also feel it's her defense team has also clouded her thinking. I hold on the what CMason had said when he commented on this case...I also wonder if his view has changed since hopping on board...

When this case first broke and it was being picked up by national news outlets, the very first thing that drew me in was the picture of that beautiful baby. That smile that lit her litte cherubic face.
What followed next for me was a fascination with Casey after all the out partying pics. Who IS this girl? How does she operate? What on earth is in this woman's head? Who doesn't know where their child is for a month and yet not move heaven and earth to find her???
What has kept me following ever since is the FUBAR dynamic in the entire A family. Matriarch Cindy, Strong and silent George, odd brother Lee. The whole pschology behind these relationships is just rivetting.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's personal perspectives here. Thank you to all that have shared.
I lost my 8 year old daughter to a drunk driver. In trying to make sense of that which is senseless, I became interested in true crime - especially those that involve innocent children. I'd sell my soul to the devil himself to have my child back so it's inconceivable to me how a mother can do such despicable things to their own children. I guess by standing up for justice for those children that were unable to protect themselves I'm also standing up for my own child that I was unable to protect.
This case is so compelling with the many bizarre twists and turns, not to mention the sick family dynamics.
Sweet Caylee... what a beautiful, bright child full of love and trust . Her entire family turned their backs on her - every one of them. She deserves better. I'm here for her. I want justice for her like the rest of you.
