Hear what you're saying, but..... here's what I think. The police probably would have done an Amber alert if they had not immedently realised the mother was telling them ALOT of lies about the missing child. They recoginized that the mother knew where the child was and did not believe another person had the child. Just want to say at this point, if Casey had not lied to the police and had given straight info, I'm positive they still would have done and Amber alert although maybe the following would have applied also.
What would have been the point of doing an Amber alert 32 days after the child went missing? I had understood the Amber alert was to try to intercept abducters while they are trying to run with a child. Wouldn't it have been an exercise in futility? and also don't most amber alerts have a car or person description other than the missing child? Just questions that come up when I hear about the amber alert.
I understand your point about Casey's lies, and until we hear the rest of this story and where Caylee really is, I'm not willing to give her a pass on those lies just yet. I probably never will forgive ALL of her lies, because even though I believe that she has Caylee hidden away, I don't believe at this point, that she had any reason to lie about the extremes that she did that had ZERO to do with Caylee's disappearance. That's just what I think now, but I could change my mind after we ever find out where Caylee has been.
Anyway, my point is that even though I do understand you, I also don't believe that LE had any reason NOT to issue an Amber Alert even though it had been 32 days, and the reason is because we have to remember that
no one KNEW that Caylee was missing for those 32 days - so, the day that Cindy called 911
might have alerted whoever has Caylee, they may have panicked and moved her, or gone on the move with her. Bottom line, picture yourself as the one holding Caylee, and for 32 days, all is silent, you're safe, right?
Your only threat comes on that 32nd day when Cindy calls 911, and now suddenly, the entire world knows that Caylee is missing. To me, that puts the moment, the situation, right back to Day 1 when most people who take children are the most panicked, and an Amber Alert at that point may have flushed something out.
Personally, I don't buy this theory because I believe that Casey
willingly gave Caylee to someone for safekeeping, but I'm just using that scenario above in reference to an Amber Alert.
