I say we all drive by their house and wave hi with the "Lee" finger! (Ya know, to welcome Lee back to the Hopespring house)
:crazy:

The detective said: I've reached out...
That is the first time I hear the variation of the word: reach. Only after that does she use it:
I've been reaching out...
Is she using this form of the word reach to try and mirror the detective so that he is more favorable to her?

padilla.........KC/LA code talk and finding CAYLEE........I agree KC gave allot of clues......
"I have perspective ideas of maybe where she could go." Is this a Freudian slip, meaning: You are getting this from my perspective, or, is it simply a grammatical error?

Is she clever enough to use "like wording" or mirroring as employment coaches tell you to do in a job interview to gain rapport with the interviewer?
Or, is she picking up the wording from the interviewer and using it because she has a very small vocabulary?
I agree with Concentric and Evergreen; I think KC instinctively mimics whoever she's talking to and it wouldn't surprise me if she also mirrors body language. I volunteer-tutor adjudicated teens and the ones who are master manipulators have this rapport-building/mimicking down to an art. They might not be able to multiply by 7's but they sure can charm you into doing it for them :cow:
I read your post yesterday Yardie, and having had once again too much coco-cola (I should know better) I couldn't sleep. So laying in bed last night, I was able to put my finger on why this sounded right on target.
Back in the 1980's, when I attended college I took a class called "Interpersonal communications". In this class the mimicry you pointed out was called parroting. I don't think that KC has learned this style of communication but rather she has picked up on it and may be using it without being aware of it. She also doesn't use it as it is intended, which is to help build a rapport with the other person you are interacting with.
I am going to go back to the interview where I counted her use of different words and see where she parrots.
IMO Her manner of speaking, picking up others words and phrases, firms up what Jesse has already said about her. She "turns into" whoever she is around.. which is very common for a person with the type of personality disorder that I believe Casey has. They do not have their own personality so they take bits from whoever is in their life at the moment. She does not even see herself as a seperate person from her mother and more or less says so herself when speaking with Cindy while in jail. I can't remember her exact wording but it was something like "We are more or less the same person".
These mimicing behaviors are formed at a young age and become part of who they are. By the time they become adults it's often second nature so the disordered person is likely unaware of what they are doing.

I don't think she told LA about the body on the first night because she thought LE and everyone else was going to believe the nanny story and let her go.
It's only after the nanny story doesn't work that she realizes (probably with the help of her lawyer) that the body needs to be found.
Edited to make sure I am on topic, I think the Casey-speak in that video is intended to make sure LA goes to the places KC talked to her mom about during the last "out on bond" time. That says to me that CA knew too. Wish we had THAT video.
Ex-sh-tremely.
She also uses "even" a lot, as if she's trying to convince people that what she says is backed up.
"I even said..."
"Lee even said..."
"Jose even said..."
"You can even ask my mom..."
Casey tells Tony that if they DON'T find her, someone will be spending the rest of her life in jail. So, she wants them to find her, so she puts in her close to home, in an obvious place familiar to the A's, but for the flood, she should have been found.
Then JB gives her the heads up that no body = better chance of acquittal and she shuts her piehole. Is she that dumb?
Disclaimer:I don't think that KC's speech patterns and communication skills have anything to do with the death of Caylee. I just think it's interesting as to who she is inside her head, because it is my belief that language and our use of it helps define us.
Probably meant "prospective" ?
I know "prospective" would have been the correct word within the context of the sentence, and I said it could be a grammatical error; however, according to what we are studying here, I wondered if the use of the word "perspective" was a Freudian Slip. Does it indicates lying, as in: I'm only telling you what I want you to hear (from my point of view, perspective).
