They don't have the burden of having to prove who did it, only that Casey didn't. I think they have a strong case, with the evidence shown so far. The air samples only show their MAY have been a human decomposition event in the trunk. My research proved to me that it takes 90 days to get the "black" band of death and the lighter colored band shows up on live samples, not dead humans. So that will go no where. It likely came from Cindy since the live sample I read about was in his 50s, and had a lighter shade "death" band. The maggots will likely show feeding on the cheese and meat package remnants left in the garbage. I'm sure they have the test results from the little critters but are holding back that "bombshell".
There are no prints at all at the scene, so far, no matching sticker or backing, unless they are keeping that out of their reports and photos. X number of people jog or walk down that dead end street and X number of neighborhood children play on the school playground during the summer days. The spot is only 400' from the corner with regular traffic so she would have to have opportunity during the night hours. There are no night hours not accounted for or that place her there after dark through phone records or witness. The area had been cleared, prior, according to police records. The meter reader first says grey bag and white dome when it later became dome covered by black bag. Must depose him to get the answers there.
Police failed to follow up on all with the name ZG, including the one who was paying a ticket for failure to have a valid driver's license and disappeared of the face of the earth, in the middle of a kidnapping-murder investigation. No, Casey couldn't have been the one to make the one payment because she was under heavy guard and media cameras.
She couldn't safely report her daughter missing under threat of her life and that of her families. She was under employ by someone using the name universal, although not THE Universal. The email address was fake but LE didn't follow up on tracking the IP it came from. The other email addresses were not fake and those weren't tracked either. JMH was never found and questioned although he does exist. (In case anyone doubts the possibility of more than one JH or ZG, there are at least 25 people with the same first, middle and last name as my husband in the Sec. of State records with valid driver's licenses,) The phone number listed as ** on this date was really coming from ZGs phone, using a service that spoofs phone numbers. This person also hacked the myspace and deleted only the messages given relevant to this case, as shown by the missing block of dates in the comments.
She carefully followed orders during that month, working at fusion, etc. She managed to appear normal enough for the photos placed in evidence with the help of alcohol and weed, not being a big user, it didn't take much. She used the officers to gain access to Universal then suddenly stopped and told them the truth when she got to where she expected to see someone that should have had an office there but didn't. She now knew there were things she wasn't aware of. I wonder if this whole thing started because she was expected to pay for childcare and couldn't come up with enough money. The 2 food receipts totalling over $200 within 3 days for 3 people that should have had some supplies on hand already made me wonder if she bought items then took it back to get cash for the check.
Now, if the forensics show up to match the duct tape and bags to the lot and roll from the Anthony home, that will change the strategy but at this point, there isn't a very strong case at all. One thing I think will come up as important is her momma doll in the car, and the missing shoes. IF Casey killed her she surely would have put her doll with her. The only reason it would have been left behind is if someone took her forcefully, unless Caylee was comfortable leaving her doll. But didn't Cindy say she always took her with? If so, this would look suspicious sitting on the back seat for the next month. A mother anxiously waiting for the return of her daughter would leave everything just as her daughter left it, just as her room was left untouched.
Again, they don't have to prove who did it, that is LE's job. They only have to show she didn't. There is too much showing she had a loving relationship with her daughter for the SA to go with the story that she was jealous and resented her daughter, then killed her in a fit of rage. Even an accident isn't a strong plan since the dogs didn't hit on the home or the pool. What they hit on in the yard, even trunk could be blood from a normal accident that was decomposing. I've cut my finger doing lawn work and getting in and out of the trunk.
There has been signs of grief and missing her daughter, shown in TL's statement for one. All we have seen is the few minutes here and there on camera. There are 24 hours in a day. I tend to not show my emotion, when I can help in, in the middle of a conversation. I can't always control it when I am alone though.
