Casey knows where Caylee is, she is trying to reclaim the attention little Caylee supposedly took from her. Why the Lawyer is not allowing her to speak to those that can help is above and beyond me! If he is trying to gain fame, he will get it for a short time, then look the fool...If Casey's Mother REALLY stopped and thought about it she would know where Caylee is. Casey is dragging the whole world in to this, and the family wonders why they get hateful people calling! Now they want to collect money for Casey's legal expenses! The Mother, Brother and Father need to stop covering up for her, and acting like nothing happened. If Casey can do this to a small, helpless, cannot defend themselves little girl, can you imagine what she will do next! What a sad exsistence some lead, lawyers to your average person trying to survive. May karma catch up with you all.

IF there was a babysitter for over a year, and Casey had no job, how was the sitter paid? Are there any cancelled checks or any accounts for Casey? How could she afford to move out if she had no job? No babysitters work for a year unpaid.
I doubt there is even a babysitter. How sad that Casey is wasting time that could lead her family to Caylee and perhaps closure in this case and if she is no longer alive, a burial with dignity and justice for her life that was taken, even if was accidental, a life was most likely lost at the hands of Casey.
God bless that little girl.

Sadly, something about Casey reminds of Scott Peterson. I don't think this is going to have a good ending.

[nika]

anybody think that Caylee's body was in the trunk when it was picked up by grandpa and HE burried it and put a bag of trash in there to try to mask the smell. ??

and casey killed her but actually does not know where the body is,

[MJ]

Casey probably learned to lie from her mother, Cindy. I have a feeling both of those devil women have something to do with that childs disappearence. I have NEVER held so much animocity towards a stranger in my life. God forgive me, but if either one of those lying bags were near me I would hurt them. Probably torture them until they told me what they done with that baby. Things just don't add up. I think CIndy knew, and when her daughter stole her precious money, then that freaked her out so she threatened Casey by telling her to give the money back or she will tell what she had done, and when Casey couldn't produce the money she probably desided to call 911. This; ofcourse is my opinion; I could be terribly wrong. I pray to god that I am and that little girl is safe some where, but I have my doubts.

[Claire]

I saw this on one of the orlando sentinel's threads. On June 20th and/or 21st, she was at this club in Orlando called Fusian and mugging for lots of pictures with random dudes. It gives the date, time, and location. (she's the one in the bright blue dress looking really unconcerned about the welfare of her "kidnapped" child). http://www.flickr.com/photos/jazzilonna/sets/72157605736646686/

[Emily]

Caylee is 5 days younger than my daughter. I could just vomit this makes me so sick. I am wholly wishing her safe return. Poor baby.

[Isn't it obvious?]

I realize that Cindy Anthony seems quite irrational of late, however, she's not the villain here. She's a victim. Her daughter Casey is obviously an addict, with all the associated behaviors (paranoia, lying, stealing, neglect, etc.) Casey has killed Caylee, either by neglect (leaving her in a car while zonked in some crackhouse) or directly. Perhaps she sold the poor child, or even suffered the child to abuse. Cindy Anthony's only sin is in being blind to the depth of her daughter's addiction. Cindy Anthony desperately wants to find her grand-daughter alive, for all the obvious reasons, and so that she doesn't have to face the so much more than unpleasant truth that he daughter has become a monster. Cindy Anthony will have to live her life with the guilt that she ever let Casey leave with Caylee. My own mother fought a year-and-half long battle (in court) for custody of her grandson, to get him away from her crack-addicted daughter (my half-sister). Getting custody of him, although he'd been left in cars and drug into crack houses, was not as easy as you might hope or think.

The grandfather burying the body and tossing trash bags in to mask the smell? I don't think so. Cadaver dogs are used in landfills to find bodies, to sort out what's rotting food and what's human decomposition. Cadaver dogs don't mistake rotting pizza for human flesh. Mr. Anthony would know this well. Cindy Anthony is in denial, deeply desparate not to learn that her daughter has done the unthinkable.

The only thing I find puzzling is why the Orlando police have not wrapped this up. Surely they have DNA evidence from the car by now ... fluids, hair, etc. to prove Caylee is no longer alive. The only thing I can figure is that they are waiting for Casey to admit where she dumped the body to make their case stronger.

This is sad, but I'm all too familiar with the situation of how drug abuse can tear a family apart and make an otherwise sane and loving mother (Cindy) become distraught, irrational and downright insane. I have no compassion for Casey Anthony.

[Just me]

You may want to add into that time line the burglary of the Anthony shed on or about June 23rd-June 24th. The report was released on the OCSO website for Caylee updates.. 2 cans of gas were the only items stolen.

[Colette]

The outcome of what happened to this child will not be good news.

[Thistlebop]

If you want to find the little girl "Caylee", then just ask the mother "Casey".

[Valerie]

Has anyone looked into the possibility that Lee Anthony is the father of Caylee Anthony?

[Tea]

Thanks for the picture link, Claire. Wow. If Jessie Grund is correct in his date, he heard the baby with her mom on the 24th while on the phone with Casey. That's after the dates on the club pictures. There must be a way to corroborate the date of his phone conversation. If I'm not mistaken, that was the one that was 18 minutes long, and since they know that, that makes me think it was verified. I would be paying close attention to her behavior after that date of the 24th, because whatever happened to the baby probably happened after that date. Note that the car was abandoned soon after. It was towed from the check cashing place on the 30th of June. Likely it was abandoned a few days earlier. They need to concentrate on the dates between the 24th of June (if that phone call has been verified and Jessie's account is verified) and the date that she asked Tony (boyfriend) for a ride from the check-cashing place (I think I read that he picked her up on the 27th of June, but I can't recall where I read that.)

[Nathan's Momma]

Casey is obviously a pathological liar and a thief, but I don't know if it logically follows that she could also murder. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that she sold Caylee for cash...maybe once her parents caught up with her fraudulent activity on their credit cards & she needed more money to maintain the frivolous lifestyle she was getting used to...especially if having a daughter was interfering with other aspects of her lifestyle (sounds like she's had quite a few boyfriends in her short adult life) Although I guess this doesn't explain the scent of decomposition in the vehicle...

[Damarah]

I have 3 children and if my sitter disappeared with any of them, I would be on the phone with the authorities immediately!!! I have never been this heart sick in my life. I am hoping that Caylee is safe and will be returned very soon!!!!

[Gravel]

I would hope to see FBI involvement with the thought that they will have better resources and people who may be able to crack the Casey code. She is speaking in riddle and surely there is someone who is trained to pick apart this riddle. The number one priority of the police should be to find Caylee.

[Isn't it obvious?]

Tea,

Casey is obviously a crackhead, and hence a pathalogical liar and a thief. However, if she'd sold Caylee, she'd fess up by now, hoping they could find her daughter alive so she'd have a prayer of getting out of jail before she dies of old age. Casey's quite delusional now, thinking she can keep lying her way out of this.

This is a lesson to all parents of drug-addicted offspring. Your offspring can love you. Your offspring can love their child, even if from an untimely pregnancy. But, you drug-addicted offspring is capable of ANYTHING when their only mission is the next high.

[rebecca]

where is caylee's father?

casey is the one telling the police she hasn't seen caylee since june 9, but how does she explain the visit to her grandfather and how do her friends who swear they saw her or heard her on the phone explain the contradictions?

this young woman is not ok - as previous comments have suggested, she's probably a drug addict or she has serious mental issues. obviously she's a sociopath at the very least.

as a mother of a young child, I cannot relate one iota to this woman. the way she speaks to her family members on the phone is repulsive and I'm sickened at how caylee's grandma (even though she and casey lived with them!) had never met the babysitter. although, with that said, I doubt casey met her hypothetical attempts to meet the so-called (imaginary?) babysitter/nanny were met with nothing but contempt.

I'm surprised her family has quit cooperating and seemingly are on her side - in early audio it didn't seem that anyone believed casey, but I'm sure they're sick too. I don't blame them, but they're not ok either.

[hopeful]

A couple of dates I heard about, casey borrowed her friend Amy's car from july 8th -15th while Amy is in Puerto Rico,also casey writes on her face book, my space to a Troy on June 19th you, ric, and dave should definitely come out tommorw night, she wrote I'll give a buzz later. Then casey wrote again at 9:09pm on june 19th I'll be there tonight. And on June 17th casey write to Amy, Cheer me up Lady! I love you and cant wait to finally get you moved in? Then again on june 4th at 7:33casey writes to Amy (oh the times we will have! i cant wait for us to become roomies in another week! seriously...by the end of next week, it will be just us girls. I cant believe it!) Theres some more but this is the most important i thought well i hope it helps. I want to help so much for this little girl, i am totally following all the leads i can from the start, it the least i can do. i dont see a good ending but lets keep hoping. good luck

[LAURA S]

Is there a chance someone tried to sell Caylee on the black
market, thinking they could get money for her and then try
to get the girl back afterwards, but then something went wrong.

[Tea]

FYI, poster names come under the post and under the dotted line, so it's easy to confuse the author of the posts. For instance, I am Tea, but my name will appear at the bottom of this post, and under the dotted line. Too confusing.

To hopeful: Thanks for the Facebook and MS info. You write that on June 4th she was already talking about moving in with her friend? Are you sure that date is right? Could it be July 4th?

[CD]

I have read this time line carefully, and all the transcripts and by the end my only conclusion, after reading Cindy Anthony's message to her daughter's my blog , is a note confirming where Caylee is, Caylee's mom know where kaylee is at , I hope I am wrong , I feel the little precious angel has been killed by her mother, she is motionless, she has no feelings and is spiting her dear mother Cindy. Watch the coming days and they should keep this lass in jail until at least the examination is done of the car and other items, this is the saddest story I have ever read and it's touched me deeply as to why a mother can allow this to happen to her little girl.. God bless you...

[Tiny Little Life]

I just can't stop thinking about this little girl, only a few months older than my sweet baby girl -- what she must have gone through with whatever her mother did to her... violence, terror, neglect, abandonment, ??? What has happened to these people that they have no regard for anyone but themselves and then a MOTHER -- the most wonderful thing in the world to be -- on top of it all!? I am just torn with pure sadness for this little one's pain and the anger I am filled with towards that selfish, selfish being. Watching her cry makes me just sick knowing she's crying only for herself and the minor discomfort of jail and not whatsoever for what she knows her sweet child painfully edured those last hours of her tiny, little life. I think the person who said the police are waiting for a confession for a stronger case hit it perfectly -- that car says it all. God Bless Caylee now in His presence.

[Kee]

Casey borrows a shovel
baby missing
car trunk smells of decomposition
neglect from mom lead to Caylee's death.
I believe she was buried at home or "close to home".

[Ricky]

I have been following this case closely as well and there is a few things I'm surpised of. One is how quickly the Grand-Mother changed her side of the story from, "It smells like death" , to "It was just the smell of old pizza"

Also what about the slab that was recently poored?

I have a gut feeling that if something horrible did happen that the family is just as involved as the mother.

With that being said I hope I'm competely wrong and Caylee is returned to live the life she was ment to have!

[James R.]

There is no way that Casey just decided to "look" for Caylee on her own, if she never even confided in her own family up front. Her brother testified at the bond hearing that he and his sister had the type of relationship where she would tell him things she couldn't tell anyone else. If she was really worried about Caylee from the first day she was missing, she would have confided in her brother. Sadly, in my honest opinion, I do not believe this little girl is alive. You don't just give your daughter to a random babysitter and then go on a "business trip." She is lying, and she will be charged with first-degree murder.

[dgk]

So, how is Casey going to help with the FBI composite sketch if she has never met the babysitter in person? This is too wild. Who would leave their child with someone they have never met? Does Casey have a serious drug problem or what? There are more unknowns in this case than I have ever seen...I hope some light gets shed soon. All the while, it is sort of sickening to see Casey's lawyers chuckling and grinning in court. What's funny?

[Theory]

If the girl is dead, it was probably an accident. My theory (based on little or no evidence whatsoever) is Casey didn't have a babysitter but wanted to party...so she put the girl in the car (perhaps the trunk?) Then went to party, got wasted, then woke up the next morning to realize the girl was dead from heat exhaustion. At that point she made the decision to hide the body and deny she knows where she is.

[Rigney]

First, I would like to say how much respect I have for everyone here on this message board. I think all of you make very good comments and we all are hoping for the best outcome for Caylee.
Having said that, I am going to speculate just a bit...
My husband swears that Casey has the "look" of a pain killer junkie. She looks so absent of emotion and so void of any compassion. I am not sure if there is some hereditary mental illness going on or if Cindy is just an emotional mess because of this horrific situation and just does not know what to do.
What I wonder is who would have noticed Caylee was missing if the grandmother had not reported her missing? I have never seen such a tight knit, solitude life for a child. Did she have no playmates? No group activities? No pre-school teacher or Sunday School teacher that missed her?
If the grandmother and grandfather and brother had decided to keep it "mum" would we even know about a missing Caylee Anthony? This whole case is bizarre, the family doesn't seem to have any outside friends or family.
I think also growing up with a father who is in law enforcement, Casey would know better than anyone how to dispose of a body just from hearing the cases her father may have investigated or discussed.

[Tea]

Yeah, I kind of lean toward the hot car theory too.

If I'm not mistaken, I've heard that Casey claims she has known this baby sitter for over a year. Strangely, no one in her family has ever met her, and as far as I know, nor have they heard her name before now. Nobody has ever seen this babysitter, there are no pictures of her, no phone number for her, and no known address.

I can't help but think that the stain in the trunk didn't turn out to be cadaver fluid. It seems that if it were, they'd have enough evidence to charge her for murder already. I know in cases where there is no body, however, the DA really doesn't want to rush to charge because you only get one chance at a murder trial, so better to take your time and get all of the evidence you can to take to trial.

[JPS]

dgk -- you need to read a little more carefully. It was Cindy Anthony (Caylee's grandmother) who never met the babysitter, not Casey).

Frankly, I'm a little disturbed at how quickly people jump to conclusions about the limited information presented so far. You've already condemmed Casey as a drug-addict, a murderer, and a socio-path. It scares me.

My thoughts are prayers are with you, Caylee, and to everyone who is helping to find you.

[JPS]

Tea wrote, "I've heard that Casey claims she has known this baby sitter for over a year. Strangely, no one in her family has ever met her, and as far as I know, nor have they heard her name before now."

Why is this so strange? I have had the same babysitter for over a year, and my parents have never met this babysitter.

And where did you get the idea that "nor have they heard her name before now" from?

"Cindy Anthony also testifies that Fernandez-Gonzalez had been babysitting Caylee for more than a year. However, she admits that she has never actually spoken to or met with Fernandez-Gonzalez."

If the grandmother clearly heard the name before now, testifying that she's never met this babysitter, but is familiar with the name.

See, this is what scares me. Rampant speculation, by people how make terrible detectives.

[sandy]

Why did Casey's ex-fiance resign from the Orlando Police Department?

[Waiting for Forensics]

Did it occur to anyone that perhaps the "Nanny" might be the paternal, biological grandma? I read that the baby-daddy's name was Ortiz and there is a Zanaida Ortiz in Orlando - pretty close to where the action is. Perhaps she has been caring for Caylee for a year and a half - and grandmas don't usually charge for babysitting their grandkids.

Maybe...just MAYBE the "decomposition" in the trunk isn't Caylee's. I mean, I know that smell and I'm sure that it is SOMEONE's decaying flesh, but maybe not Caylee's. I read that Casey had the use of Amy Huiziga's car for a couple of weeks, so maybe Casey loaned her car to a "friend." Maybe that friend did something really, really stupid (like killed someone) and maybe Casey is covering for that friend.

Maybe Casey told the grandma - Zanaida Ortiz - to keep Caylee safe because Casey is a witness to a murder or something and doesn't want anyone to get to the baby for blackmail. So maybe the Grandma took Caylee on an airplane ride to Georgia...or NC...or NYC...who knows? But perhaps Casey is 100% sure that as long as Caylee is with Nanny Ortiz, (Zanny), she will be OK and well cared for.

Perhaps Casey has been trying to give the LE information with these addresses and "lies" to get them close to whoever actually committed the crime/murder - without just spilling the beans - because she doesn't want that person to harm her family or her daughter. After all, one of the addresses she gave was directly across the street from the apartment of some guy she used to date.

I think we need to be sure about exactly who was in the trunk of the car. If that evidence points to someone other than Caylee, we've got a big can of worms to sort out. I don't think it will be Caylee's "decomposition" or hair. I think they will find it is someone else and that Casey is marginally involved - thus trying to avoid prosecution.

When Zanny feels that it is safe for Caylee to be returned to her family, I believe she will come forward. I truly believe the little girl is alive and safe. If she's been spending the last year and a half with her grandma on her baby-daddy's side, she is probably as comfortable and safe as she could be.

Let's wait and see what the lab determines the evidence shows from the trunk. That will tell us a LOT and so far, it seems that everyone is just presuming it is Caylee. Maybe not!!! Let's all pray it's not.

[peachtree]

I also agree that drugs + overheated car = caylee's death. If Casey wasn't already mentally unwell (and it looks like she may have been) then adding drugs to the mix is a full-blown invitation to craziness. She probably left the child in the car to either cop drugs or to do them and lost track of time and responsibility after she was intoxicated. After she sobered up and realized the child was dead, she decided cover it up, probably for several reasons:

1) she didn't want to suffer the legal consequences
2) she was in denial and couldn't admit it to herself so she couldn't admit it to her family
3) if she is addicted to drugs, then she most likely couldn't stop doing them (especially if it is something physically addictive like heroin or meth) and just continued doing them to avoid withdrawal symptoms, as well as, drown her feelings of guilt and grief for what she had done.
4) She didn't want to lose her new boyfriend

I read somewhere that Casey claimed she left her car in that parking lot b/c it ran out of gas. Was the gas tank empty when it was picked up? If so, perhaps casey left caylee in the car with the car a/c running, thinking she would be ok and when it ran out of gas the car shut off, overheated and caylee died?

In any event, it seems we are all coming to the same conclusion based on the info we have, and unfortunately, it is not a good one:(
I wonder how long Casey is going to try to drag this thing out...

[MKM]

Just wanted to point out an error in the timeline. There is a link to pictures from a club outing that Casey attended on July 20-21, 2008 (after her daughter was discovered to be missing). If you look closely at that photos (where the link takes you), you will see a date of June 20-21, 2008 (prior to the discovery of her daughter's disappearance). You will see that the pictures are from a club in Orlando, Florida - Fusian/UltraLounge. The more errors that are reported, the more heated we get over those errors...it all takes away from the truth. Let us all agree not to engage in sensationalism so that we may help find this child.

[Eve]

She clearly killed her child by neglecting her in some way while high or by her own doing because the child was interfering in her lifestyle...its most likely drug related...she told her mother she killed/neglected Caylee...they kept it a secret and they buried the body in the back yard and they had a cement slab put over her body...so she is "close to home"....Casey pleaded to her mother to give her "one more day" to pay back the money she owes her from stealing that money from the credit cards for drugs...her mother wanted the money by a certain time or she would threaten to spill the beans... Casey did not come up with the money therefore the mother called police.this poor child is dead and its over selfish motives...its chilling and makes me angry

[Jantee]

The "hot car" theory sounds logical. However, if that were the case, one would think that she would be in tears over the loss of her beautiful baby girl and the overwhelming guilt that she feels. ( if she were normal )
My theory is this... Casey was tired of being tied down with a child AND jealous of the relationship that Caylee had with her grandparents. Casey's parent we not paying as much attention to her as they were Caylee. I think Casey took a life which is so very sad to say. I do not think it was an accident. Casey has mentioned that she feels as though Caylee is "close to home" she possibly knows this because she put her in this very place?
Casey is playing games with law enforcement and seems to love the attention. After all, we all see her in many photos smiling. She has no care in the world for her daughter or anyone. Has anyone heard whether or not Casey has taken a polygraph or been offered one? I know that it is not admissible in court but it could shed a bit more light on this whole situation. I hope and pray that my theory is wrong but the longer Casey's lies go on, the more "real" my theory becomes.

Hence the phrase:
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,
IT'S A DUCK!

[emmarose]

she accidentally killed the little girl and is covering her butt like nobody's business. i don't think she's a chronic drug user but definitely dabbles in drugs/alcohol/sex with whomever. her messages to her new "roomie" were messages you'd send if you were 18 and single and child FREE. "let's party! it's gonna be a blast!". these are not messages you send if you're a full time mom and need to be working to support your child. she either left her somewhere or in the car (or trunk god forbid), the child died from some unanticipated disaster and casey freaked. the grandparents and brother have NOTHING to do with this. nothing. they are trying to make sense of the casey they thought they knew, and the monster they are now realizing she is. casey stole the gasoline, cash, credit cards, automobile, borrowed the shovel, poured the concrete herself (or her father did it unknowingly since the back yard had been dug up by casey) and casey drove far away with her mom's car and buried the kid's body in some woods somewhere. casey absolutely knows where the body is buried. that's why she's still eerily calm. because she knows the body is unlikely to be found and without a body, she figures (wrongly) that they can't nail her. very naive of her. she is a classic narcissist/sociopathic personality. you can hear her impatience on the phone with her family and friends when they don't do what she ORDERS them to do. and then she tries to coax them to do what she wants. she has a nasty impatience and knows she's dealing with people much less calculating then her. the grandparents are honest people as is her brother and friends who are trying to comprehend what they know down deep happened. that the kid is long dead, and casey is 100% responsible and is telling lie upon lie upon lie. she is going to spend a long time in prison. no more clubbing for her.

[Samantha]

I don't have a theory about what happened to Caylee, but at this point, I don't believe she is still alive. If this is true, then at least she is now with God where she is safe, happy, and loved. I pray for the family left behind. I, like others, believe that Casey is not the only one that knows what happened. I pray that those not involved will receive peace and those involved will eventually do what is right.

[deedee3370]

I want to know how it is possible for her to have a nanny for over a year and half and the family has never seen or met her? Especially if Casey lived with her parents for a while. As sad as it seems to me, if Casey did sell Caylee, I would think that by now, whoever bought her, would have come forward to tell the world that she is safe, and collect the reward money. That has not happened, and unfortunately, it won't. Casey is a liar, and a crackhead. Shame on her family for not protecting their granddaughter from someone who obviously can't support herself, only cares about herself, and did what she wanted to do instead of caring about her own daughter. Makes me sick. She should be given the death penalty. Did anyone ever hear of Child Protective Services?????????????? Such a shame. I hope to God that Caylee is found alive, but my gut feeling, unlike Casey, is that the little Angel is dead. I think the detectives are searching for a body.

[andrea]

my theory:

Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez is Caylee's maternal grandmother, (Jesus Ortiz's mother) Casey's parents struck up some sort of deal with Casey to NOT put him on the birth certificate. Casey secretly maintained a relationship with her as "nanny". She is not scared about the whereabouts of Zenaida because she trusts her, but can't tell the Anthony family because they disapprove, etc...

[Chrissy]

Even though the timeline on this page incorrectly dates the photos of Casey at the night club to July 20-21, the real date of the photos, June 20-21 is still just a few DAYS after she went missing.

*Comment Edited by David Lohr: Thanks for pointing out the timeline error. I have fixed it to reflect the correct month*

[J D Jones]

Casey is guilty as sin. And her family is covering up for her. What I can't understand is why the sheriff's department released the phone conversations to the media. As soon as her family heard those recordings on the news, they warned her, and any chance of learning new & valuable information was lost. Law Enforcement shot themselves in the foot on this one aspect. Casey is careful now not to swear, and chooses her words carefully.

If I were lucky enough to ever be a grandparent, I know that I would never take a position of covering for my child over doing what was right for my grandchild. How the grandparent's stories have changed to protect their "precious" Casey just amazes me. I am scared to death that Casey will get off if a body is never found. Somehow they have to find a way to keep Casey in jail and keep the pressure on her. I'll bet the women who share her jail space are just as outraged as we are and are probably letting her know it.

One last question: How is it that Inmates like Casey are able to watch television and keep up on what is happening on their cases? When Casey called her mom from jail the first time, she said she just watched her on live TV!!

[Tea]

The problem is we really don't know when Caylee was actually missing. That ex-cop boyfriend says he heard the little girl over the phone on June 24th, and heard Casey talk to her. Unless he heard someone else's child. This is why I'm still focused on the dates between June 24th, when Jessie Grund says he heard Caylee, and June 27th when, if I recall correctly, Casey called her boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro for a ride after she claims the car broke down.

Also, those initial reports had Caylee last seen by the grandparents around the 9th of June, but then the video of Caylee visiting her Grandfather on Father's Day which was June 15th. So, when did Casey actually leave her parents then? The week of the 15th?

At this point Casey's family can't even be considered reliable witnesses anymore since they think they are victims of the police and the media. Their account of events seems as skewed as Casey's anymore. Notice grandpa barely says anything at all. He used to be a cop too. The last time I saw him speak on camera, he said Casey had a new group of friends over the last couple of months and his statements seemed evasive as well.

As for the mysterious Zenaida being the paternal grandma, I would think that that could be verified pretty easily. Who knows who the child's father is at this point? Supposedly he died in a car crash last year, but I don't believe anything these people say anymore. Maybe Casey never really knew who the father was. Certainly the police have been given a name and that has likely been sorted out already.

My gut feelings sometimes tell me that the grandparents(especially GP) may have helped Casey get rid of little Caylee's body after they realized what she had done. And now are going to defend their dtr to the end because she is all they have now!

Well said Tea!! =) In a nutshell, she needs to fess up and TRY, I did state TRY, to get the charges lessened. She did what she did, she knows what she did(period). The parents know or at least have a clue as to what she has done, my guess is that Baez is playing puppet master right about now with them as well...Baez slays me(!), he KNOWS his credibility is SHOT because of this case and is grasping at straws to resurrect it; who in their right mind will want him to represent them after this mess! He wants gag orders placed & her bail dropped-which both were denied(YES!!)-for what? Casey has not stated anything besides non-sense anyway! With that said, how can the focus be placed on Caylee; like the family claims they want it to be, as far as the media goes, if she is playing "Cat & Mouse" games with the police, public, etc...

So what we have is Casey & Baez striving for attention; FOR, their own, selfish gain...How sad.

Again, karma, karma...

you need to read the attorney generals response. that little girl is dead, and the mother is responsible. it was the first time I read that the cadaver dogs responded when smelling the trunk of the car, as well as the same spot in the backyard. the reason the police aren't searching for Caylee, is because they are(as am I) convinced that girl is dead. this whole thing is horrifying.
