Which Specific Aspect of this ENTIRE Case Keeps You Drawn IN???

[CarolinaMoon]

I am a long-time follower of trials. A friend let me know about the case, that a mother had "lost" her child and did not report it for 31 days. I followed it as she talked about it and then it went on and on and on and on and on.

At this point, I've been on the case literally since day 31 and I can't let it go. There's an awful, lying mother. There's a fragile family with very twisted values.

Now, I'm waiting for the trial. It's a first for me to follow a case from day 31...

But my goal is the same as always... justice. In this case it is justice for precious Caylee... and I will be on the case every day until that happens.

Which aspect? Aside from the very strange family involved, the specific aspect that is keeping me drawn in is waiting for some justice for Caylee. I want to be there (by means of tv or computer) the day the jury comes back and says Guilty On All Counts! After Casey is hauled to prison for life I will be satisfied.

 

[Chat Noir]

So many twists and turns, and never a dull moment and not to mention wanting to wait this out and see Caylee finally get justice!

For me, it's the constant release of information from the police files. I don't ever recall this happening in any other case. It really is fascinating.

I felt from the minute I heard that it reminded me of the DIANE DOWNS cold hearted shooting of her kids way back when.

She fabricated lies and it just seemed like the same motives to me.
Diane Downs wanted to unload her kids so she could have
the man she felt she deserved.He did not want a ready made family so she decided to make up a stranger stopped them in the middle of the road story.
She was sexually abused as a child due to her mother neglecting the kids and the father molesting them in her absence.
Yes ...... I always think my first "GUT FEELING"
is the truth and trying to analyze throws me off.
She has not spoken truth and I just[ laugh so hard ] when I see her in those shopping videos... like she is MISS AMERICA on a shopping trip not the theif she is..and oh yeah she started doing all that before Caylee was missing.

When I heard her say the thing about how she would LIE & Steal to get Caylee back?
I was like hey girl you been doin that way before Caylee went missing....:nuts:

One word:

Caylee

 

[costalpilot]

the anthonys' and anyone associated with them.

what a crew.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

Hmmm...What draws me in?..I guess the one thing that I've noticed is the severity of dysfunction in this family and the fact that they've all made it this far in their lives. Makes me really appreciate my life & family. Thank GOD for every single breath that I take b/c Lord only knows my life could have turned out different! Wow!

Caylee reminds me of my nieces and I just can't imagine anyone harming a precious child. When I first saw Caylee's picture on tv, I just wanted to protect her, keep her safe. On the surface, the A's could be any average American family. What went wrong? It seems as though they had everything. I can't imagine how KC's mind works, and what led her to all the things that have happened. She could have had a really good life, IMO. The love of a child is the most precious gift anyone can ever have. I still to this day have a hard time believing all this is really happening with this case. I guess I just want to know why...

 

[Dr. Know?]

The fact that a child is dead. The lying is what is bizzare to me about this sad ending.

 

[tweety933]

I'm drawn to know who Caylee's daddy is, because it is Sooooooo wrong if he and his family do not know about her.

I've made a few posts but am really a long-time lurker. I really need to post some more so that I can view every attachment. Love this forum -- so many bright, sharp minds! I've been following the case since it broke. In July I spent some vacation time with my sis in Titusville FL and celebrated the third birthday of my sweet little nephew. Then, I get home to CO and see the story on the news. I'm drawn to the case perhaps because Caylee was also about to turn three. I can't imagine my little guy going missing -- I'd be hysterical. What keeps me following the case is all the incredible twists and turns -- and my mind wants to sort out and sift through the tangled web of lies that has been spun -- for the truth.

I am drawn in by the behavior of the media, the public and mostly the impending trial. I guess I have never seen a spectacle like this. The advance of communications, development of the Internet, has broadened the 'local crowd' to be quite large. In the old days, the locals would mob in front of the courthouse, howl and jeer at disliked perps on trial. Now with the click of a mouse or a tv remote control - the entire world can be there and be involved. Local mob - global mob.:hand:

The case has so many twists and turns and based on the behavior of Casey Anthony - this case could truly lead anywhere. Sure, I assume she is guilty of this crime - but she has never acted "normal"(?) about anything. Nothing, so I can't imagine what will unfold before our eyes in the days, weeks, months ahead. If she didn't act normal about the obvious - what else might there be that she didn't act normal about. That intrigues me.

The family does not intrigue me. Amazingly their neighbors have remained silent as has obviously their friends, co-workers and for the most part their family. I think that is of value.

So, as we Americans have this story played out in front of the world, I hope we are viewed as a compassionate people who have a just system of Law.

This case caught my attention when I read that a 2yr old had been missing for 31 days before the police where called I was appalled.

 

[sleutherontheside]

I am intrigued that regardless of the amount of time that passes between significant events in this case, new information continually filters through. I also find it interesting that just when there seems to be a lull in the momentum of the case, a new "bombshell" is dropped or "leaked". The timing seems to be rather choreographed, although I don't believe all of it is. IMO

 

[JenBMomto3]

What keeps me drawn in is definitely the amount of information that is readily available. Not saying Caylee isn't special (heaven knows she is) but, this happens day in and day out. Most cases don't get national attention like this or have Sunshine laws that give out this much info.

So in a nut shell what keeps my attention is the amount of viable information thats available for me to draw MY OWN conclusion.

 

[lisalei321]

Everyday brings new news or twists, you couldn't make this stuff up and sell it as a book, a book of this many twists would bomb.

 

[newuser]

Initially, Casey's report that she did her own investigation for 31 days caught my attention in the headlines. Then, as I read the story, it included her lies from the first day. I honestly believed she had sold Caylee, and that the story would have a happy ending. Then, in just a couple of days, the Judge on Fox News was saying in all likelihood, the child is deceased, and I was honestly mad at him for giving up so quickly. Then, as the dogs, and the tests starting being made public, I was just shocked and amazed that I had been taken in by the lies. Now, I just follow because I live in fear justice will never be done.

 

[Mamabear1963]

For me the first thing was toddler missing for 31 days before reported missing...

Then:

KC is the same age as my 2nd dd, and Caylee was only a week younger then my youngest...

It just made me wonder...think...cry...I guess I came here to see this thing to the end.

 

[Paintr]

I listened to the first reports of this with half an ear while doing other things. Then I saw Caylee's picture and heard '31 days' for the first time, and began following the case more closely.

Unfortunately there are many missing children cases, but the bizzare outpourings of this family and their inter personal relationships kept me rivited. Besides wanting this beautiful little girl's death dealt with by the law, I also want to see the whole Anthony drama resolved. There aare so many different facets of this case...the law, the media, the family dynamics, mental health issues ...that raise questions. I learn something new here every day.
