As an added thought - I can't understand the A's staying in that house. I really thought they would not go back when they came and got the dogs over the weekend. But they returned. And now, after today's confirmation - no matter which way you lean towards Casey - Caylee's room is RIGHT THERE! All her toys, her pictures, her smells, I know I couldn't stand it - I would never be able to stay in that house - ever again. It would just be too much. And just shutting the door wouldn't work. No - I don't understand. We have all said we believe that the A's truly loved that child - and with that how could you walk by that room or lay your head on a pillow in that house? JMO

They have been doing it for six months knowing she is gone...so why would it start to bother them now? Worse...they probably also are aware that Caylee never left that house alive.

I understand (I think) what Swag is saying.
Sure, staying in the home of a deceased family member is done all the time.
But considering all the facts, the history of the last six months, and deep inside knowing your grandchild was probably killed by your own daughter....... no, I couldn't rest comfortably, at peace, in that house ever again.
Sure, looking at the little playhouse, the pool, the baby's bedroom with all her toys would bring me comfort but the polar opposite means also creeping into my mind when I saw these things would be the fact that my own daughter, the child I carried in my womb for 9 months, who I loved more than life itself, was most likely the person who took away that precious Granddaughter of mine....the granddaughter that for the last 2.5 years had been my world.
Up until the day the Caylee's remains were ID'd, I would have probably been able to stay at the home, still believing with all my heart that a sick person was out there, running free, doing harm to maybe another little child.
Once the remains were ID'd, nope.
At that point of being notified of the ID of remains, the realization would have slapped me in the face like a bucket of ice water and from that point on, no way could I stay in that house, wander through those rooms, wondering at each door I walked through within that home if this was the room my Grandgirl was killed.
I'm afraid the last moments of my Granddaughter's life, the trauma she endured while looking up at the person who was supposed to protect her, would far overshadow the 'good memories' I have of my Precious Granddaughter's life in my home.
Not to mention that at least 50% of the neighborhood scorns the A's and all they represent. I wouldn't want to stay where I am scorned and I'd probably quietly contact a realtor and put my home up for sale.
But, that's just me and I might be totally off-base compared to how others would handle the same situation.
