FWIW, IIRC Casey came around the Grunds(again)after having dated Jesse previously. She came to their house to give Jesse's brother information about a job where she(really had for a while)worked. Chris is his name, IIRC. Richard Grund saw Casey and she was very pregnant, he asked Jesse about Casey and her condition and Jesse said Casey had said she was having female problems. Richard Grund told Jesse and LE, he knew Casey was pregnant.
I agree this pregnancy was no secret it was just denied. Casey was asked by her parents if she was and she told Cindy she was still a virgin. What confuses me is Casey's employment at that time. She was working before Caylee was born, I remember it being mentioned by Cindy(?)someone about Casey taking "maternity leave." (We know she never went back to work after Caylee was born, she was taking advantage of Lauren as a babysitter and IIRC she found out Casey did not have a job and stopped watching Caylee) If Casey was able to take maternity leave, what was she telling her employers/co-workers as her belly grew? Then, at what point did she say it was a pregnancy to receive maternity leave? How was Casey allowed at work saying she had such a tumor or medical condition? And, then be able to switch it up and receive maternity benefits? :waitasec:
What a statement about Casey's ability to live with deception! To go about her business(even helping Jesse's bro to get a job, what a gal that Casey)so obviously with child-yet denying it all to everyone.
o/t but when Richard Grund brought up to Cindy that Casey had tried to say Jesse was Caylee's father when she knew it was not true, Cindy's reaction was to say(paraphrased) "Well, he was willing to do it, or be the father..." Placing blame on the victim, transferring blame is the name of the game for the Anthonys.
So, because someone was willing to do the right thing, a loving thing-it is okay to deceive them? To use them? Hey, they were nice enough to help me so it's their fault they got hurt-is pure sociopathic thinking imho.
I think the way Casey handled being pregnant shows something was already not right with her on a emotional and behavioral level. A young woman might feel the need to hide her condition but Casey did not try to hide it, she tried to convince everyone else around her they weren't seeing what they were seeing. :hypno:
I think of the Police song, "every little thing she does is magic" but replace the words with "every little thing they do is crazy" in my head when I think about the Anthony family.

"Every little thing...every little thing...she do is Magic! Magic! Magic! Keoh! Keoh! Ke-oh, oh, oh, ohhh..."
Sorry for the unrequested tour of
my mind. :crazy:
What were any of the Anthony's thinking regarding Casey and her "bump"? I agree, at the least Cindy as a mother and a nurse should have gotten Casey help. So, who knows? But it all adds up to Caylee already being a part of that insanity before she was even born.
ETA: Consciously or subconsciously I think yes, the pregnancy denial is linked to the murder. Thinking more about Casey walking around telling such an obvious lie makes her ability to "ugly cope" seem par for the course. She probably didn't have a plan, she was just going to make everyone else believe her reality.
