YES YES YES! This is exactly my theory as well -- it's so nice to see it in print![]()
I suspect Caylee was probably purposely drown in the bathtub. I, too, think she set her mother up by opening the gate and putting the ladder up. I envision there being a nasty fight on the 15th, and I imagine Cindy called Casey a whole host of things in a fit of rage -- accusing her of being unfit, poor judgement, etc. Casey would get her back by throwing her already "drowned" child in the pool and would set the stage to blame her mother. "SEE, who's the UNFIT PARENT now, Mom??"
But when nobody would answer the calls, she went to plan B, just as you state. HUGE mistake. Why she didn't just call the police and continue with the plan is a mystery, unless she started to cover her tracks and a lot of time started to tick by and she decided better of it.
Maybe she figured that calling Cindy and screaming at her that she left the pool ladder up and Caylee drowned, would cause Cindy to race home and they'd "take care of it together, quietly".
Maybe she started to notice bruise marks at this time on Caylee's arms where she forcibly fought with her in the bathtub. That alone could have made her abandon plan A.
Could be, too, like you said, she had a hot date that night and calling the police over this incident would certainly put a dent in those plans.
I agree..except I just don't believe that Caylee drowned anywhere..pool or bathtub, I just believe that Casey killed her and put her in the pool to make it appear to be an accidental drowning, then made that flurry of phone calls and like you said..thought that would bring Cindy racing home to 'take care of things' and that plan backfired when no one answered the phone..thus forcing her to form a plan b 'the kidnapping' of Caylee..something she formulated over the 31 days. I don't think it ever occurred to Casey that the medical examiner could tell COD..I don't think she ever thought that the police would be called. Ridiculous I know..but Cindy had always made everything bad go away, so why would this be any different?..at least in Casey's mind..and of course imo she put the ladder on and opened the gate to convince Cindy that it was all her fault anyway..
