Great post, ITA.
It would also explain (for me) how the "31 day script" piece fits into the puzzle... One could picture some brainstorming session producing such a harebrained idea --- and the plan went off the rails with the whole Amscot/tow company debacle and subsequent 911 call --- and also why ICA would ask CA incredulously "What do you mean you don't know my involvement?"...
I just wonder if CA and GA both found out at different times, and perhaps kept it from each other for some time as well, as they were both so inclined to cover up for ICA...

Underlined above by me.
I can sooooo relate to this! In my own family we've had several 'crisis' times.
Hubby and I would go to bed. He'd think I was asleep, I'd think he was asleep.
When in reality, we were both, in our own minds, going over 'the facts' of our family crisis situation.
Going over the 'what ifs', trying to put pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle.
On one of those nights, very early in our marriage when a brother-in-law was having a crisis (and when isn't he!), I had what we now call "Sit straight up in bed, Ah-Ha! moment"
Laying in bed, going over the events, all of a sudden something clicked. I bolted into a sit-up position and sure enough, all the pieces started to fit!
Since then, both hubby and myself have had those moments during a family crisis.
I've always wondered if George and Cindy, pretending to be asleep, would each go over their Crisis Du Jour and at separate times came up with the "Ah-Ha!" moment in the still of the night but didn't tell the other.
I think, although George wanted to push what he knew/what he had recently found out/experienced ie; the smell when picking up the car, Casey at home without Caylee the night Cindy found Casey, etc. .... he wanted and probably did push all that to the back of his mind. But laying in bed that first night, I can only imagine the waves of sheer terror he experienced when those thoughts creeped back to the forefront of his thoughts.
I am thinking that he had a 'sit-up/jolted up in bed moment' and that's when I think 'he knew'. HE KNEW!
Cindy, I think she kept her 'Ah-Ha' moment pushed back to the furthest part of her brain. She might have had an Ah-Ha moment but refused to think in that direction.
I think after the first visit to the jail, seeing/talking to her daughter, she had a partial "ah-ha" moment that night.
Still pushing it back though, not wanting, actually, REFUSING to process the possibility. But just because you refuse to process the thought, doesn't mean it's not there, way back, in the dark corners of the mind.
SHE KNEW.
