Casey not trusting local LE is very troubling when put into context. We know of at least two ex-LE bf's, maybe three. We have also heard that at least two more came forward to admit they had had "relations" with Casey. What was she doing with her time? Why did she need a "nanny" at all, since she didn't have a job 'on the books'? Does it involve any or all of these ex-LE?
This is my first time reading this thread. While I'm on the "other side" of the fence, I was curious to see why so many believe the child is still alive, other than optimism. Believe me, I hope I am VERY WRONG on my assumptions. I would be more than thrilled if Caylee would finally be found ALIVE.
Your thoughts on LE leave me to wonder. Shamefully, I'm wondering if she was getting inside secrets on how to get rid of someone by any means. She may have heard stories from her dad and wanted more up-to-date info from the local LEs. Not necessarily how to kill someone, but just how to make them disappear for good. Enough of that.
The NANNY question has always bothered me, too. Since they live with George and Cindy, it would make sense to at least leave the babysitter's contact information with Cindy. They wouldn't have had to meet face to face, but giving Cindy the nanny's name, address, and phone numbers would be the sensible thing to do. Another thing, WHY did she need a nanny everyday? She wasn't working. So if there was a babysitter whom Caylee was staying with, what was Casey doing during those hours? Has anyone come forward to say "I think I saw her shopping", or "I saw her waiting in the concession line at the movie theatre", or "She offered her body to me one afternoon when I ran into her in a bar"? One would think she didn't disappear into thin air during these hours.
ADOPTION. The only type of adoption (or selling of Caylee) that sort of makes sense to me is an illegal one. Any legitimate adoption agency would have come forward to LE and say they placed Caylee. They'd show the legally binding documents and the case would be solved. Even if it was a sealed adoption, I'm sure the people who run the agency or the judge who signed the documents would be obligated to settle the matter. This is, after all, a missing person case. LE would not be obligated to, and probably would be restricted from, revealing who has Caylee, just that she was legally adopted. Missing person case closed.
Even with a legal adoption, you'd expect SOMEBODY to recognize the child and raise questions, total strangers, family members, neighbors. Somebody. Same thing with an illegal adoption, or if Caylee was sold. Somebody somewhere would probably recognize the child. Unless she was shipped off to a foreign country that has very little news outlets (TV, newspapers). Even then, if she were sent to a non-English speaking country, wouldn't the cute little American girl gets lots of attention every time she opened her mouth and spoke English? :waitasec: Or she could be caged somewhere, locked away from the public eye.
Anyway, like I said, I hope all of you are correct and Caylee is still alive and well, and is being treated lovingly and respectfully.
I agree about LP. I'm still trying to figure out why he thought HE could get Casey to talk when no one else could.
This is such a puzzling case. Did I say I came here to see if you guys had any insight to where Caylee could be and if she's alive? That's why I began reading the thread.
