Hey guys and gals! This is one of those cases that creeps under your skin and winds itself into the very marrow of your bones. I can't go ten minutes without dying to know what you guys are saying. I have been reading as often as possible (dang job gets in my way!!!), but I admit I have not been able to keep up on every thread. Great job to the usual posters here: SuziQ, Nursebeeme (Hey Becky!!!), SS, Imtheoneandonly, etc. and WELCOME to all of the wonderful new posters. :blowkiss: OK, so with all of that said, here is my 30,000 foot view of the situation:
1. Both GM and Casey have the exact same attitude. Watching all of the video that I have been able to see, they are nervous, they seem "desperate", but not in the way Mark Lunsford or Steve Groene were. There is a world of difference in the desperate attitudes of Mark and Steve from what I am seeing with Cindy and Casey. Both Cindy and Casey take big deep breaths in court today as if to say "Whew, I hope I can pull this off!".
2. Cindy made a statement along the lines of "Casey would never hurt her child". Maybe I am stretching it, but if I put myself in a desperate Grandmother's position in this situation, I would have said "Casey would never hurt Carlee". It seems impersonal to say "her child" as opposed to saying "Carlee". If my grandchild were missing, I would ALWAYS say her name!!!!
3. Someone is lying about the smell in the car. I work in health care. I know what a decomposing body smells like because I work in Pathology. It smells absolutely NOTHING like rotting trash - especially nothing like a bag of pizza. If Grandpa is ex-LE, he HAS to have known this!!!! This angle needs to be examined at a deeper level.
My personal theory at this point, is unfortunately that Carlee was killed and probably buried. The grandparents were not there when this happened. At some point, the situation changed so that the body had to be moved - thus the shovel, and thus the smell in the car. GM helped with the current line of BS we are hearing. They should have involved GP - being ex-LE he would have NEVER come up with something as stupid as what we are hearing from GM and Casey. From a psychology standpoint, I don't think anyone should be surprised that GM is supporting Casey in her lies.
I feel horrible for having said any of the above. I feel horrible for Carlee. I feel horrible that this whole case is in front of us. I truly hope that Carlee is found with some idiot that doesn't watch the news. I just slapped myself back into reality. This case is the worse case of lying I have seen since the Devon Epps case. His mother is now in jail for his murder.
