OT, but some good news for those who wondered s what happened to Dieter, Shanann's little dog, her brother has multiple photos of him on his FB page, with his dogs.....so he has found a happy home.

Ugh.. It is just so horrible to even think about... I cannot even imagine....I think Casey Anthony’s parents must have gone through hell...they loved Caylee like their own...tried to defend Casey...then she threw them under the bus and blamed them... I think they both knew from the beginning that she did it but didnt want to lose her too...Wonder if CW’s dad ever thought his son was capable of this???

IMHO, his dad is in denial.

 

[wgram]

This is my feeling as well. I think he called his dad and broke down and thought there’s no way he can admit what truly happened not only to his dad but his family, friends, mistress, co-workers..he can’t be looked at as a child killer in everyone’s minds so he tries to look like the protective father instead and says he killed his wife when she killed their children because to him that sounds better and would be perceived better by everyone. Especially his father.

BBM I think he wanted to make sure his father was informed before LE told them. He wanted to have his version in before they painted him to be a monster. IMOO

We know he admitted to strangling SW. What I can't figure out is why did he not have scratch marks all over him? She had very long nails.

Thank you. That made me smile.

Is there a mod in this forum tonight?

I also think he probably wanted to rehearse his newfound story to get someone’s reaction before going public with it. We don’t know much about CW’s father but maybe he was a natural skeptic or the type to ask a lot of questions if something didn’t align. By CW running it by his dad first he got an idea of what sort of questions people (like LE) would ask and it gave him a chance to rehearse his story so he wasn’t stumbling over himself in the interrogation room or with his attorney.

I originally thought he was favoring one of his arms, however, when I watched the other inteview that he shows the shirt, watched him before the murders, and watched him in court, I don't think there's a severe injury there.

I believe she was killed as she slept. I think he waited for her to go to bed first so it didn’t allow her a chance to fight.

 

[chi123]

That would make sense if she was attacking the kids and he walked in.

Since you keep holding on to this exceedingly unlikely theory with no evidence, what is your explanation for his behavior afterwards?

Please don't say he was giving his kids a proper burial, or put them there to keep them warm like you did yesterday.

I am genuinely curious how you would explain this.

 

[Inthedetails]

I definitely could not. Not even for my own son. If he, heaven forbid, did something that heinous, he would be on his own.

It's impossible to know, and I hope I never know what I would do. But, as I think about it, I think I would be there for my child. I couldn't abandon someone. But, I would have to transform into a different person. My old self would have to die - it would be too painful to live as the same person. And I would need some support to help me.

My heart goes out to everyone suffering in this case.

Ohhh that just gave me a visual. Sorry graphic coming up!
I wonder if he pinned her down with her arms under the sheets, straddled then did it....Sorry said it was graphic

I’ve wondered that myself. I can’t imagine her not putting up a fight... I think we will see blunt force trauma to the head (to knock her out) then strangulation. I really want to know where his necklace and lupus bracelet are. It will be interesting to see if theyre in the home and he just chose not to wear them for his interviews or if he threw them away...

From behind, when she was asleep?

Me too. I would be there even if they tried to kill me.

 

[thesensitivechild]

Does dadvocate mean a dad whose an advocate or like in a devils advocate - trying to figure out the other side. I ask this respectfully. I presumed the former, but then thought the latter could be possible. D-advocate. Again not trying to be rude, it just might clear up why some people keep assuming you know the family etc. thanks!

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Does anyone know if he is being monitored more closely or out in the general population? I don’t know why, but I really wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to commit suicide.

 

[Talisman]

Wouldn't CW and his dad be sitting in a room at the police station where everything is being recorded? So if dad was talking to him about what happened, police would have known?

I don't think they let people have total privacy while sitting in the police station unless the person has request an attorney present.

Maybe someone can correct me?

Didn't CW pick up his father at the airport? Couldn't they have talked about it then?

I'm not sure what to make of this conversation with his Dad. If CW picked him up wouldn't they have a conversation about his missing wife & children?

Can you sluethers fill me in on this point? TIA

But surely you would wake up straight away and use your hands to fight him off? Also he said he killed her in the kids room.
