Hiding a body

[boogiebear]

Who better to ask than another Sociopath.... any sociopaths on the board tonight?

I only studied Sociopaths, but I am not sure she is one. The only thing I can say for sure with Casey, is that she has no empathy. There are many causes, or theoretical causes. (I will give you the list, but it is long.) Just a post note here, the lack of empathy does not mean she does not know right from wrong, nor does it excuse anyone from any behavior. It only means she cares only for herself and no one else, and usually they believe everyone else feels the same way(which is scary also).
Prime example Casey's poem with the line "Everyone lies".:abnormal:

The sad part about people with no empathy, is they cannot feel, nor understand what love, giving or receiving really is.

The fact that she hid Caylee indicates she knew it was wrong.

If it was someone I loved...

maybe the backyard, to be as close to them as possible; or somewhere I could visit frequently and quietly.

but if it was someone I didn't?
I'd do anything and everything to get away with it - removal of fingerprints, destruction of hair, teeth, and as much DNA-deterioration as possible. Then disposal in a remote area, possibly in a container filled with acid or lime.

However, if it was someone I loved but I was a sociopath like Casey, I'd do the latter anyway because people would be less likely to suspect me capable of it. It's all about misdirection. I do think she thinks that far ahead.

There's more, but while I can think about it, I don't think I have the stomach to post it.

I think that CA had help getting rid of the body. I feel that the pings from her phone, near the secluded area at the airport may have been a meeting place. The body was given to someone to get rid of it. In Florida there are so many places to dump a body in water.

The comment was made on another thread that George was prepared with full gas cans when he went to pick up the car. . .before they supposedly spoke to Casey.

So, what if Casey brought her baby home to bury her as mentioned above to be at peace. Then George found out and knew he couldn't have a corpse in his backyard. He moved Caylee and that would explain why she might be found somewhere that other posters are reluctant to believe Casey would put her. (too much effort involved)

And would explain why George knew the car would need gas. . .having been in contact with Casey sooner than originally thought.

Its a theory and would explain George's comment about the person in the back of the car took Caylee...ie it was George cause he got into the back (trunk) of the car. But I dont think he did.

Remember, it's been reported that KC is a CSI fan. Statistically people who enjoy scripted, prime time "who dun it" drama also enjoy true crime shows as well. For this reason, in the end, I think KC would have been a little more carefull playing hide and seek with a body. And let's face it. If she didn't have trouble figuring out, and didn't have problems TRYING to figure out what to do with the child's body, then the child wouldn't likely have been in the trunk long enough to leave decomp evidence there, which in my estimate would take 4 or more days.
Because of her taste in programming, I'd say KC knows that water disposal and weighting down a body is highly risky. When decomp gasses form the body is likely to come back up, and even if you weight it down good the body could break down and pieces could come up. You also run the risk of drought or fisherman snagging it.
Burial in her own yard? Not a chance, but I think she debated it, briefly. Burial somewhere else? And wildlife or dogs could dig the body up. Development in the area could bring the remains up at some point. Cadaver dogs would likely find it. AND burial leaves evidence...disturbed earth..fresh dirt..a mound. That would alert potential searchers to the body's location as well.
Gas cans...could she have intended to burn the body? I think that would make sense since she TOOK THE CANS with her.. but smoke and fire attract attention and that was no good either.
I think she weighed ALL of the possibilities and there were potential "problems" with all of the options. What is the LEAST likely way, besides a vat of acid, that a body will be found? THE LANDFILL. That was her "last resort."
Landfill searches are expensive. Millions of tons of decomposing trash and dead animals are sent to the landfill every single day. Millions of tons of dirt are turned over that millons of tons of decomposing material every single day. It acts as compost and the amount of bacteria in that mess could probably strip a corpse in a matter of hours. I think she put the child in a dumpster, simply because she "ran out" of options that made it unlikely she'd get caught. She figured her best chance at getting away with it was the landfill. It would take nothing short of an act of God to find that poor child in the landfill. Now take into account the child has now been missing for almost a solid three months?

Shutterfly I think every thing you say makes a lot of sense.and for a lot of reasons the first being I just don't think some one like KC dug up bamboo so I sure don't think they dug a grave.

But another reason I totally agree with you is I think people are really underestimating this girl. Granted the whole Zanny thing is just stupid but she sure had the fore thought in the beginning to know that LE was going to place her at these clubs I don't think she had thought about the picsmay not have even known how many there was but from the beginning to cover her @$$ she told Le she had frequented the clubs and stores she knew zanida went to, therefore I am not so sure she is flying by the seat of her pants as much as a lot of people do. That also brings us to Blanchard Park she said from the beginning that she went to blanchard because it was Caylee's favorite and zenida had taken Caylee there before.

Add all of this to the posts on myspace and I think she thinks more than we think she does. I would sure think blanchard should be searched really well

I just can't understand why Casey wouldn't have put the body in a dumpster right away instead of moving it again and getting the decomp smell and other evidence in the trunk. Putting a body that has been decomposing almost two weeks into a dumpster seems so risky due to the odor.
