Do you think Caylee is alive or not?

[thelmadawg]

Sadly, NO. If she were alive there would be no reason for KC to continue lying and stonewalling. Not to mention the forensics. We can only hope LE has a lot more we don't know about.

 

[twelbo]

If this were a "kidnapping", wouldn't someone have come forth to collect the reward money? Isn't it $225,000?

My thoughts exactly! If someone had her, they would find a way to return her and collect that reward!

I voted no!

Such a very sad statement, and yet it is definitely the truth when you get right down to it. When you really think about it Casey isn't keeping silent because she is alive and Caylee is in jeopardy and she doesn't want to be convicted of child neglect!

It all boils down to the truth of what really did happen to little Caylee at the hands of her own mother. Her mother holds all of the cards here and she knows it. It is one of the most elfish and sickening cases and extremely tragic. It has brought our entire nation to emotional anguish, and has even made some European news stations!

I just have this awful gut feeling that we will never really find out what nor where little Caylee is. That's saddest of all.

If this was a kidnapping, or if some person really did have Caylee and she were really out there now someone, some where would have seen her and reported it by now. For nearly a quarter of a million dollars you bet on it!

I doubt she's alive. However, I do have a hard time sticking to the fact she's dead, but I think that's more of a personal issue than a belief I can support with fact and evidence.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way attacking anyone here, but, I personally just have a hard time looking at her pic and thinking to myself, she's dead.
It seems so final to me, and so unfair. (the though she is dead)

I guess I'm a "clinging to hope even when there's no hope to be had person."
I just can't stop hoping that some how, in some way there's an explination for the evidence, making it possible she's alive.

I will say, I am consistent in this, and hope this about every missing child. The ability to harm, hurt and kill a child is a concept that is beyond my thought process.

But, yes, evidence supports her demise solidly.

I think you will find a lot of us agree with your opinion. My heart wants Caylee to be alive, my head knows the evidence proves (IMO) that she is not. Emotions vs. logic I guess. I felt the same way about Trenton Duckett, and all the other high profile missing children cases I have read about.

I just hope that they find this beautiful little girl somewhere and give her a resting place much more fitting than the one she has now.

I question if the 56 people who voted "she's alive", actually read all the documents or even much of them regarding this case.

I question if the 56 people who voted "she's alive", actually read all the documents or even much of them regarding this case.

Me too. I keep reading the "alive" threads hoping to find the tiniest shred of hope to cling to. But all of the "valid" arguments that are being given the same weight as all of these documents are "what if" and "maybe" possibilities that depend on LE being liars, incompetent, and downright evil. Not to mention that they rely on Casey, a known liar, being such a good mother that she'd face prison time and the hatred of the world to protect her child when it has been PROVEN that she lies and shows no emotion.

The people that keep saying her lack of anxiety indicates that Caylee isn't dead do not seem to consider that, once the word was out, it was then okay and even logical for Casey to be upset. It would have been a huge relief, IMHO, to finally be able to cry and scream and get hysterical after holding it all in for a month.

The people who say Casey seemed to love Caylee so it must have been an accident totally disregard the idea that if you accidentally kill someone you love and then hide it, how would a person with genuine emotions not cry and get upset when the story finally came out? If those signs of love were real, then how would she be able to cover her grief so well?

The only answer to either of these things is that Casey does not have normal emotions and does not even know how to fake them in this instance b/c she hasn't had anyone to copy. She can copy maternal love b/c she has seen it. She can copy romantic love and friendship b/c she has witnessed it. She can even fake concern for a father who has had a stroke b/c she has seen it up close and personal when her grandfather had a stroke. But she doesn't know how a real mother acts when her child is missing b/c she hasn't had enough time to perfect her act. Looking up websites and watching on TV wasn't enough research, and that is what will get her in the end.

 

[2Lulu]

Sadly, no. There's not a reason in this world for Casey to continue to lie if she had information that her daughter was alive.

I'm still on the fence as to whether or not it was an "accident."

 

[Fandy]

me too. I wish i could believe the rumors of sightings, but they are all false and unproven. they are trying to turn people who want to believe by spinning these wild tales that go in 100 different directions that make no sense.....even to the point of saying "believe me, not LE". there is too much damning evidence, and i'm sure we have only seen the tip of it.

i now think the worst. it was premeditated and a deliberate action on Casey's part. Cindy was forcing her hand to become a responsible parent and casey dug her heels in to get even.

 

[ArtichokeHeart]

I voted no as well because she even admitted herself that she could not bear to see her mother so upset. It was a convient lie that Lee helped her to make. It is a wonderful lie as brilliant as her phoney accident story to her mother when she didn't want to come home. Cindy eats these lies up like candy.

I still can't feel certain it was murder. When you wish deep in your heart that you were free of your daughter and you are a somewhat neglectful person that is prime terratory calling out for an accident to happen.

Her plan to take Caylee and run having no job or money or place to stay but with boyfriends speaks to me of reckless endangerment.

Phathoming Caylee's whereabouts except for in a dumpster or crocodile leaves me dumbfounded as also what she did with her time.

I completely understand and agree with you.. You took the words right out of my mouth. I am pulled in both directions, torn with want and hoping for Caylee to be alive, but not being confident that she is.. It's like I just wont admit it to myself.. Kind of like the Anthony's I guess.. Strange, how emotionally attached we have all become to this little girl..

 

[aqua_mom]

I can't bring myself to vote no. I can't help feeling that there is a huge piece of the puzzle that is missing.

I know that I'm in the minority but both scenarios make sense to me. I hope time will give us a more definite understanding of what happened and that Caylee will be found.

I just keep praying every day for some kind of closure.

 

[Leila]

Sadly, I believe Caylee has been deceased since June 16th. I'm very discouraged about the possibility of finding her remains. It's been too long and there's too many bodies of water, some of which have alligators.

It is so hard. Closure is what we need - the Anthonys need (excluding Casey of course)! The only thing keeping me from the other 'good' scenario is that there is no trace of a ZG - not one thing...

 

[Lexington]

I don't know how anyone in their right mind could think that this poor child is still alive, what with the outrageous outright lies, the behavior of the mother, the decomp and hair in the trunk of the car, I could go on and on, but they are too numerous to mention. No, sadly, she is not alive and has not been alive for a number of months. I wish they would locate her body and bring justice to her killer and to those who aided and abetted in whatever manner, shape or form. This is a case that screams for justice.

I agree 100% with what you said. It's horrible what happened and it's even now worse because so far there has been no justice and somewhere out there is a little baby who needs and deserves to be laid to rest.

no she is not alive.

i agree with you here, she either buried her deep enough and wrapped up in a duffle bag or other (virtually impossible to find i would think) or the alligators. KC researched everything else so why wouldn't she have researched this a bit as well. i vote no. so so so sad. we need a lil cryin' smilie for this thread.

 

[DianeB]

There is evidence that Caylee is deceased.

The only ‘evidence’ that she is alive is the word of her mother, who has not told the truth about anything relating to her daughter’s disappearance, or her own activities.

Why would a jury believe that Casey is telling the truth about Caylee when she has proven to be lying about everything else? She has zero credibility.

I just served on a jury, and one of the instructions the judge dispenses before trial is that jurors may believe all, part or none of a witness’ testimony, and are free to disregard any testimony they believe to be untrue.

In the absence of finding Caylee’s body, I think the only question is whether Casey will receive the death penalty, or simply a long prison sentence.
