and what a puzzle it is.
For reporters, this case has everything they could ever hope for. Drama, drama, and more drama!
Its the "puzzle" -trying to figure out how all the pieces and all the players fit together. What drew me in is I have pics of my daughter at Caylee's age and some of the ones we have seen - they could have been twins!!!! I saw those and I was hooked.
But aspect is definitely the whodunit puzzle and the crazy roller coaster ride.
What keeps me interested is the absolute need to know the WHY and the HOW
I still have a part of me that feels that this was something other than premed murder.
I also cant stand not knowing things, I need to know so I can reconcile it all in my mind
I should say it is the atrocity of a mother who could kill her own child. I should say it is the opportunity to sleuth out the different angles. I should say it is the need to see justice done.
But if I am real honest, in this case it is the circus. Where science is denied, evidence refused to be acknowleged, claims are made but can't be proven. I've followed some bizarre ones, some pathetic ones, some strange ones, some horrible ones. But this one seems diffent, more intense, more of a circus like atmosphere, where the impossible is impossible but much effort is expended to prove it is possible. Where the truth is bypassed and magician's illusions are used to try to hide reality.
And where the family has joined in to maintain the illusions set up by the primary.
I am impressed!!!!!!!! So well said, and you have captured the very essence of this entire event. May I suggest if you have not already been published, that you consider doing so??? I'd buy it.
Just when you think it can't get any more bizarre ,it does.
First, how sad it is that a mother would do this to her daughter. Second, Casey's defiance and completely implausible lies and denial. Third, my empathy for the horrible grief of the grandparents.
I work with sociopaths.
