Casey's Diary Entry for June 21st & Missing Pages #1

[LinasK]

Do we know if KC had a history throughout the years of writing carpe diem and other encouraging messages, like tomorrow is a brand new day? If so, then I can see a scenario where the hardback-looking part with the '03 date on it really is from '03... the journal was meant to be strictly for '03... KC didn't use every page at that time, so pulled out all the old pages and started new after her criminal act in June, then simply forgot she had written it. I know, it's a convoluted theory....

Here are just a few eerie similarities:

Casey's Diary of Days: "Tomorrow is a brand new day."

Diary entry-" Every day is a brand new beginning."



Diary entry: "I have no regrets..."

Casey's photobucket: "Regret nothing, deny everything"

I disagree. I don't think it's convoluted at all.

Remember, she wrote this about a month before she was called on the carpet and then she had other things on her mind. You know, like making up addresses for the imaginanny.

I agree, totally not relevant if its from 03, that's why I question, there has to be more for this to mean anything, hopefully we will know in the next doc dump.

LE may have taken it just to "Test" it & make sure that it was written in 03'

but I have a feeling that it was written in 08' - just my personal opinion.

Either way I think LE would have taken it into evidence anyway just to give them some insight into Casey's thoughts.....Wether or not they got it admitted into evidence would depend on what they found

If it turns out that it was written in 08' then that will probably be the most damaging piece of evidence presented at trial.

In my opinion it would show premeditation & also prove that could care less about Caylee

 

[Boston]

As I stated earlier, I think this was a diary Casey wrote in at one time (2003). I think she ripped the old entries out and started writing in it again in June 08. I don't think the ripped out pages and destroyed evidence. I just think they were pages from 2003 and she ripped them out because the were old entries.

Thats the exact scenerio that I'm thinking

She may have "Dated" the Book Cover in 03' when she got it & used it for a few months or whatever & then when she decided to start a "New" diary (June 21st 08) she tore out the old pages

Yup, LE unbeknownst to us, can probably prove this diary entry is current. Why else would they care about the happy-go-lucky thoughts of a 17-year-old girl 5 years prior to the murder??? It perfectly describes her state of mind after getting rid of Caylee, she didn't have anything to feel that way about in 2003, and it wasn't the year of her graduation.

She wasn't living at home at that time was she? I mean in 2008.

The watermark on the page looks like a polka dotted cat...if someone knew what kind of journal it was...maybe it wasn't in print in 2003? :waitasec:

Truth is, LE has to know by now if the diary entry means anything to this case. Casey knows too. Maybe this is their way of telling Casey it's well past time to 'fess up.

Somebody (sorry can't remember the name) mentioned that it looks like a Peter Pauper journal. I don't think anyone has been able to find the exact one yet.

 

[butwhatif?]

I'd really like to know if there are other journal entries in that diary. If it is that single page and nothing else, then theres no way of really knowing when it was written.

But if it turns out that the following page talks about what was going on in her life at 17, then I have to say that this is just another dirty trick by the good guys, to make Kc look more guilty- which is plain stupid imo, since there is plenty of real evidence to get a conviction. I dont want their dirty games to be used by JB to seek for a mistrial....because that will not get caylee the justice she deserves.

I think the fact that almost everything is circumstantial evidence is scaring them a bit, and they are using whatever they can, in an underhanded way to convince the public of her guilt.
Its frustrating because it ends up looking like a witch hunt instead of using the true facts as evidence of her guilt.

The other thing is that in one of CA's interviews she told the dets that KC had always kept a journal. Why did it take so many months before they took it in as evidence? Sorry, but I am just thinking its a bit DUH! The journals should have been one of the first pieces of evidence they collected.

Journals have been used in most cases of mothers killing their children, so i cant comprehend the delay with collecting this (and soooooo many other things.)
All the other journal entries can confirm or deny what was happening throughout the years and months leading up to Caylees murder. Like the miscarriage, wanting to go to a mental health facility, the dramas within her family etc.

Looking at the crime scene pics, its obvious that LE and FBI worked their butts off to get as much evidence as possible. I have a huge amount of respect for them, but I dont like the idea that all that hard work could be undone over some silly game playing.

I believed that the state's attorneys would have been able to convince a jury that Casey killing Caylee was premeditated even prior to the release of this information.

No one other than someone who planned to kill their child wraps duct tape around the head such that it is stuck in the child's hair + has a heart sticker lying around to place over the duct tape covering their child's mouth. Yes, I've read/heard the arguments that Casey could have placed the heart sticker on the duct tape after Caylee died, even though she may not have intended for Caylee to die, because she "loved" Caylee and the death was an accident, etc., but I never believed that line of reasoning would resonate with a jury for many reasons, beginning, chronologically speaking, with the fact that Casey waited 30+ days to report Caylee missing, the fact that Casey only reported Caylee missing because Cindy placed the call to 911, etc., etc., etc. I just couldn't imagine a jury refusing to convict Casey for 1st degree murder.

With this additional information - it's as many here have been saying: LE has much more than we'd previously been given, and the case just continues to grow stronger each time we become privy to said information.

Way to go LE!

If it can be established that this is an entry from 2008, then I believe that the state's attorneys will shortly be placing the possibility of the DP back on the table, and with good reason.

I agree but as a point of clarity, bolded above by me --- KC never did report Caylee missing or planned to. CA did. :blowkiss:

 

[butwhatif?]

Thats right. She was at TonE's...but she could have written it there, and then it was returned to the A home when LA collected her stuff from TonE's house late that night.
I just think its odd that they only release a single page, that looks like she is admitting her guilt, when we really need to see it in its full context.

That Peter Pauper press has some interesting merchandise. Very similar to the journal and they also have some self help books, etc.

Thought this one was interesting:

[Secretsolver]

Don't most journals have a little white box on the back that contains an ISBN number and a scan code?
Even the price might be listed there.
This would help in identifying the year it was produced.

I have seen journals like this at Barnes and Noble.

LOL, KC wishes that was her life right now!! Aww, the irony.

 

[Intermezzo]

Oh, those pesky laws do seem to be conforming to the laws of nature, don't they?

Did KC confirm in an interview with GA that she got JB's number from another inmate during intake? I can't recall, but that was the sotry out there at the beginning.

Not sure if your question has been answered, so my apologies if it has.
Yes, Casey got JB's phone number from another inmate after being booked into the OC jail. The local reporters have stated that as well.

Do the cats on the cover of this Peter Pauper journal resemble the cat we can barely see on a following page? This is one of their current journals offer on the their web site.

ETA: The cat in the lower left corner looks like it could be a match for the cat that is on a follow page - at least I think so.

 

[Indigo]

The closer I look, the more the cover looks like a photo album rather than a journal. There's a square directly in the center that looks like a photo frame.Take a look and see what you all think.

I was about to ask...do journals and diaries normally have a photo frame on the front, or would this more likely be a scrapbook or a photo album?

Any of the artists surfing this site know what style of drawing the cats are? Perhaps we can narrow the Google image searches some.

Yeah, this is unusual. There is in fact a raised area on the front in which to place a photo but inside, the pages are lined. So I have done various searches like "Photo journal" or "travel diary" (the idea of the latter being that the item is for a diary but has a spot on the front to indicate a picture of where the person traveled.) I have not had luck with google searches (which have included "folk art cat" in the phrase, and sometimes other things). Guess we'll have to wait for the next doc dump.
