Just saw this term used to explain the Casey Anthony case and I can't agree more. When people (the Anthonys and some ont his board) start working up wild stories about possible kidnappers and covert operations, the MOB, Gangs and sending a child off to be safegaurded or sold and the truth being revealed in due time in codes and such, I start believing that real life is much simpler than that.
There is a theory centuries old that holds that true:
Occam's Razor Theory
"If you have two theories that both explain the observed facts, then you should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"
"The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations."
"If you have two equally likely solutions to a problem, choose the simplest."
"The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct."
If I were a detective investigating this case I would apply the Occam's Razor theory. child was last seen by her mother, her mother showed and continues to show no emation for the missing child and continues to lie to authorities, topt hat with other evidence and come to the simple conclusion that the mother knows where the child is and everything else is false.
