Well it really happened.

Interesting thing - her mother, Cindy, has told reporters that Casey "has lost a lot of weight" and "she looks terrible but is holding up the best she can..."

Those are the same clothes she was arrested in and they fit her the same today as they did thrity-something days ago. If she looks "terrible" I guess it's just genetics. She appears to be thriving on the bologna sandwiches.

Now. Just tell us where your daughter is, Casey. Then the media and sleuths will vanish.

[SteveB]

I am glad to be Canadian. Only in the U.S. would a mother who does not care about her child or a mother who could be the cause of the child's' death become a celebrity. Future movies, books, world recognition. Caylee will never be found like little Madeline McCann but her mom will be a celebrity. So sad!

[Danielle]

I pray for the safe return of Caylee Anthony. For a mother to not show any emotion for her missing child, she is hiding something. She knows exactly where her child is and I think the grandparents are in on it too. The family is just sickening! I hope the beautiful little girl is out there somewhere safe, but all of the evidence is showing more towards the fact that she is not. I believe it was an accidental death, and the mother and the family are covering it up. Something happened while Caylee was with her mom, she turned to her parents for help, they helped cover it up so that Casey would not be in any kind of trouble, and now they all have convinced theirselves that Caylee was kidnapped. And if Caylee is alive, I feel that she should not be able to go back into custody of her mother. "Caylee, prays go out for your safe return. And if you are no longer with us today, than may you have no more tears, no more worries, and no more fear. The angels are watching over you wherever you are." May god be with you! The whole world is waiting to see your sweet beautiful smile again.

SteveB, I'm glad you're Canadian too. You're more than a little out of touch if you think this can only happen in the U.S. I seem to remember a young Canadian couple who became celebrities and had a movie made about them. Remember those guys?

Little baby missin and all mama wants is a hot shower! What a sad, sad, story this has become.

[Pat]

Skylonda, that's a good call. She doesn't seem to have changed her priorities one bit. It's all about her and what she wants.

I hate to say it, but I don't think the kid is alive anymore. My gut tells me it was an accident, because it seems like the parenting was good before this went down. The problems probably started around when the kid went missing.

[SteveB]

We have our crime here in Canada too unfortunately but it is never a media circus. Casey would not get the attention she gets in the U.S. As one blog put it she is getting as much media attention as a president! Forget about her and try and focus on the child!

[sillysoper]

To Lawzilla
I am Canadian. I don't know which part of Canada you live in but from my neck of the woods we have a situation much the same as Caylee Anthony's. It is the missing baby "Abbygail Dice" from St.Thomas Ontario. She would have been 1 year old tomorrow and her little body has never been found. Mom "Sarah Whittington" claims she doesn't remember where she left the baby!!!!!
Please do not try to put yourself in a "Holier then though" position because of geographics. These horrible crimes can and do happen anywhere in the world. You need to brush up on your crime history!!!!

[avery's Mom]

This is all so sad. I really would like to think and hope that little caylee is okay and will be found, but my heart is too telling me different. I agree with you guys on thinking her parents are in on it. I also think there may have been some kind of accident, and she turned to her father for help, if someone could help her, it would be him. I also think the mother knows now too, and Im sure she is really upset, but can't speak up because she cannot handle losing all of her family. She has already lost her beautiful granddaughter. They are sick people. I just hope justice is served in this case..

[Ashley]

This little girl is probably dead, and given character that's been displayed by the members of the Anthony family....she's probably better off that way.

I hope they find the poor girl soon, and put her to proper rest. And put her dirtbag mother in jail for the rest of her life.

[Concerned]

Casey for the love of God, please tell people where your baby is at, Caylee is a beautiful, innocent child, with no knowledge of what and why whatever happened or is happening to her. Think of your baby girl and how she is feeling!!!

[Di]

Thank you several people for sticking up for our wonderful nation and for posting situations similar in other nations. I love my country and thank god for people who still stand up for it. Anytime there is an opportunity for people to make money, they will do it at others expense, that my dear is mankind. As for Casey Anthony I have nothing to say, I believe Caylee is dead and I have absolutely no idea what happened to her.

[Christy]

What is really sad, is that Casey the psycho that she is looks more sad in her release photos than she has for the past 2 months. I can't believe in some of the photos of her in court she was smiling like it was a surprise party or something. We all pray to God that we find Caylee no matter what. The family needs to have her body for closure. But we all hope she is not dead. But reading the reports and stuff I think she drown in the pool and Casey didn't know what to do with her body so she took her in the woods they said she went to and burnt her with her fathers gas. What a sick individual. And then she was partying after Caylee was supposibly missing...Some people just should not be able to concieve a child. There are people out there in this world that would love to have a child and can't because their bodies won't let them, and then there are mothers like Casey who don't want there child anymore because they are a burdon to them and their young life that they want to live and just get rid of there child. I'm sure if she didn't want Caylee anymore her parents or another family would have addopted her. I hope and pray to God that Caylee is found and that Casey is put back in jail for all she has done.

Murders are murders! Canadian or American, they are still sick people who the media will exploit.

Here is a news story on a canadian pig farming serial killer, so don't be all high and mighty because you have better things to do with you time like to try to find a way to stop murders or to donate to a cause that does.

Canada farmer is guilty of murder

Victims' relatives outside the court after the Pickton verdict was announced

Reaction to verdict

A pig farmer accused of being Canada's most prolific serial killer has been found guilty of second-degree murder.
Robert Pickton, 58, was being tried for the murders of six women whose remains were found on his Vancouver farm.

Under Canadian law a murder conviction leads to an automatic life sentence. Pickton must wait 10 years for possible parole. He pleaded not guilty.

Pickton is charged with killing 26 women. A trial date for the other 20 murder charges has not been set.

He was found guilty of killing Mona Wilson, Sereena Abotsway, Marnie Frey, Brenda Wolfe, Andrea Joesbury and Georgina Papin.

Most of the women he is accused of murdering were prostitutes and drug addicts from a seedy Vancouver neighbourhood.

The verdict followed a week of deliberations by the jury, and 10 months of gruesome testimony and evidence.

Pickton's head was bowed as the verdict was read out. Two female jurors wept, and members of victims' families cheered.

[Di]

I think what really has struck me about this case is that she LIED to the police. When you want help in a horrible situation you don't lie, you tell people the truth so that they can help you. Many years ago I was a victim in a terrible crime, I would have never have LIED to the police. I needed the police to help me. It blows me away that she lied.

[Vonnie Fitz]

Somehow I'm beginning to feel this might be a big scam for publicity and money. From following the story, it appears the Anthony family has financial problems. The missing child has brought a reward of about quarter of a million dollars from an unknown source, and the out-of-town bondsman has put up half a million. There are requests for money on Craigslist. What if the little girl is hidden away in a safe location? Maybe Mexico or Purto Rico? Perhaps this is why the mother does not grieve or show any sadness for the lost child. Why would the Casey "take" $45,000 from her mother's charge cards? Surly, the transactions would show how she spent the money. That money could have gone to a person(s) who are hiding and taking care of little Caylee. Time will tell.

[Connie]

Did anyone read the news report about the gorilla whose baby died on August 16 and she is still carrying the corpse around mourning over it. This gorilla has more emotion for her baby then Casey Anthony has for Caylee. This story just makes me sick. Every day I hope that Casey will tell what happened to Caylee and every day she says nothing. If I were Cindy Anthony now is the time to quit feeling sorry for her child and get the truth out of her. Actually, I think if I were Cindy Anthony, I wouldn't let Casey back into my home until she tells where Caylee is. She would be on her own.

[Dennis]

Oh come on now. Please people. Casey is innocent. She didn't do anything wrong. I dare one of you to prove it. She is getting the celebrity attention she deserves because the investigation was screwed up. Next she'll get a spread in Playboy etc. I think she deserves MOM of the year award. You heard the bounty hunter and her lawyer Jose Baez. The kid is missing. Nothing else. She probably didn't want the wicked witch of the west (her mother/grandmother) around Caylee so she protected her. Mom (grandmother) was abusive, Dad was a gambling addict from what I heard. Who wants their kid in that enviorment? She committed no crime. Now lay off her. If anything you should praise Casey for her actions. As for the partying we all know she was celebrating the fact that CayLee was now away from her evil family. Give her 4 stars. Caylee is safe and sound. Casey says so as does the Bounty Cowboy as does Jose Baez.

[Jennifer]

Vonnie, I was thinking the same as you while reading the story about the Gorilla and not letting go. Funny how Casey had no problem of letting go of that sweet innocent baby girl of hers. I just can't believe this story never ends. The truth? Apparently Casey doesn't know the meaning of the word or how to tell it. Poor Caylee.....imagine having a Mom like that.....I think I would choose the Gorilla over Casey.
I hope and pray she is somewhere safe. God Bless her.

[teresa]

This is one of the saddest stories i have ever heard. I watch the stories about poor little caylee anthony everynight. in my head i know little caylee is no longer with us but my heart wants nothing more to see this baby come home.. i dont believe it was an accident. the father being an ex police officer should know that they wont get away with it.. and most important its just wrong. i dont understand why casey was released how much good she can do sitting on her couch at home. she needs to take a lie detector test. the whole world needs to know where little caylee is. there is too many odd things in her story, what are the odds that a woman (not involved) named zenaida would look at the same exact apartment that casey pointed out to the police the day after caylee went missing.if her parents are involved in this i hope they are charged with the same thing casey is. i would do anything to help find this little girl i live in washington state and i look at every little girls face everywhere i go. please casey tell us where that precous little girl is. PLEASE BRING HER HOME WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE SHE IS OUT THERE CRYING FOR YOU (MOMMA PLEASE HELP ME IM SO SCARED) i hope casey sees these words and thinks about them every minute of every day for the rest of her life......

[Suzanne]

Casey Anthony is white trash. Her parents are disgusting.

[Donna]

To the Canadian dude... you mean all the media attention that YOU're reading every day???? Yeah, don't you just hate that????

[KC]

to the person who made the comment about this would only happen in the us...well news flash this can happen ne where u might wanna check ur facts b4 postin a remark like that! but as for casey ive got no sympathy for that girl she says she doesnt know where her daughter is and has nuthin to do with it but waits a month to report her missin,and wanted to do her own investigation, i dunno who she thinks she is, that makes no sense, now im the same age and have a 2 yr old son i cant imagine waitin that long to report him missin, and she was out partyin when she was supposed to be lookin for her, that girl didnt deserve to be bonded out, everything she has told has been a lie, that little girl has to be dead and if shes not ill be shocked, im startin to think also that the parents are coverin sumthin up and hidin sumthin, that is a sick family, casey has no emotion no nuthin...except she wants a hot shower!
so sorry but she has to be guilty shes lied about everythin from her daughters disappearance to a job,no wonder eveyone thinks shes guilty!

[Jenna]

Hey Canadian-

Before you pat yourself on the back too much, remember Karla Homolka. And while you're at it, do some research about Charles Ng. You guys screwed that one up royally as well.

Canadian justice is abysmal. Think before you type.

[Amy Gentry]

Casey knows her girl is dead.She will never confess.She will go to her grave with this.She has no care or love in her soul.I wonder how she can sleep a night.I hope this eats at her as she looks around her house everyday and sees all of Caylee's things.Her toys,her clothes,her pictures.She is a disgrace.When all of this is over she will be found guilty and will either get the death penalty or spend the rest of her life in prison.And she is only 22.I hope she lives to be 100.That way she can live every minute of her pathetic life dwelling on this.

[Sheryl]

Well I feel that Casey should have stayed in jail until she told where Caylee is. Why would they let her go home to her family and a nice hot shower and a good meal that she does not deserve when this poor little girl is going through or has been through hell. And who cares if she lost weight this is not about her it is about Caylee. I don't understand why with all that is involved they can't come up with something like what about all the samples what about all the dogs and people looking for her. I still believe this Gonzales lady has something to do with it. Maybe she didn't like the way Casey was treating Caylee and leaving her all the time to go party so she kept her or gave her to somebody. Just a thought. and why did the boyfriend resign from being a policeman. There are a lot of posibilities here. I myself have cried for this child and I can't believe how cold the family is over this. I would be on drugs to calm me down if it were me. CASEY SHOULD HAVE REMAINED IN JAIL UNTIL SHE TOLD THE TRUTH.

[Ewoman]

I can't believe the ignorance. If you are going to follow this story and sit on your couch and watch Fox (faux) news every day about it then you deserve to be sad and confused. Get out there and read a law book, read cadaver dog stories, read about the history of lie detector tests. Now, don't get me wrong, the mom could have hurt her daughter, but in this country people are innocent until proven guilty. Get that through your thick skulls people! Unless you are investigating the case professionally, your insight is based on the media circus and your judgement of Casey (based on how she has been PORTRAYED by the MEDIA)-she lied and didn't appear emotional so therefore she is a killer. And because the Gparents are a little quirky, now they are involved too? That's a lot of specualtion and that seems like all the cops have to go on too...hopefully they are acting professionally and getting something together other than cirumstantial evidence. And released? Of course she is released, she has a right to post bail and her charges are two misdemeanors and a third degree felony-other cases such as this have had 15k bail, yeah $1500 to get out. Feed your brain with knowledge don't be a bunch of lemmings!

[Mom Laura]

I lost my 3 year old daughter in an Old Navy store for about fifteen minutes once. She was w/me as we checked out, I turned to get my ID from the cashier...& she was gone! I cannot put into words the panic that happened, I was screaming, asking them to lock the doors...the clerks called 911 for me right away and even raced out to the parking lot searching. This happened the second I looked to my side and she was gone, I cannot fathom a mother waiting weeks, it goes against ever mothers instinct. I could barely talk to 911 on the phone, I was shaking & in an uncontrolable state of panic! Caseys actions, or lack there of, speak volumes to what type of person & mother she is! It's such a sad situation, she needs to just come clean.

[sillysoper]

Hey everyone, lets be fare!!!That stupid post was from one Canadian! Quess you didn't read the others?

[sillysoper]

Sorry, Lawzilla, my previous post should have been directed to SteveB and not to you!!!! I was reading the posted by wrong!!!!!

[Dee]

I can say with certainty, I would like to be in Casey's mother's shoes for 24 hours. Alone in a room, you bet we would find out what happened.

[TRACY]

CASEY IS A LIAR... MURDERER...NOT SURE ABOUT THE PARENTS WHY WOULD THE MOM CALL AND SAY THE CAR SMELLED LIKE A DEAD BODY IF THEY WERE COVERING SOMETHING UP?

[L.A.W.]

Dennis - That's some kind of sick joke, correct? Either you are joking or you live in the same 'lala' world that Casey does.....

[c]

Vonnie, I was wondering the same thing about the scam. The main reason for me is because of how the parents act with the media. I would also like to know who put up the $250,000 reward.

I have been following the story every night, but what is the deal with the pool? I heard on the show about how there may have been an accident but where is this coming from? Was there a pool?

I dont think that if her mom was involved she would call the cops and say it smelled like a dead body. Unless of course it is all a LIE. I just wish they would get the DNA results back.

[millie]

I DONT SEE THE FAMILY NOW ON THE STREETS LOOKING FOR CAYLEE THEY FORGOT ABOUT CAYLEE BECAUSE THEY KNOW SHE IS DEAD THEY MADE ALL THAT NOICE TO GET CASEY OUT OF JAIL AND TO COLLECT MONEY . I DON'T HEAR CINDY TALKING ANYMORE NOW SHE DOES NOT WANT THE MIDIA AT HER HOUSE BEFORE SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO USE THE MIDIA TO FIND CAYLEE KNOW WHAT HAPPEN EVERYBODY IS LOCKED UP IN THE HOUSE. HELLO GO FIND CAYLEE YOU GUYS ARE WASTING TIME. WHATS GOING ON YOU FIND OUT CASEY KILLED HER. SHE GETS OUT OF JAIL AND SHE WANTS TO TAKE A SHOWER WHAT HAPPEN TO LETS GO FIND MY DOUGHTHER HER LIFE IS IN DANGER . PLEASE GIRL SAY THE TRUTH YOU KILLED THAT LITTLE GIRL CAUSE SHE WAS IN YOUR WAY TO KISS TONYS BUTT AND BE AFTER HIM . HELLO

[Sarah]

To Connie,

You have some warped views on a woman that has repeatedly lied to police and her parents wanted arrested. And if she is such a good mother and wanted to get her baby away from her bad grandparents, why didn't she go somewhere with her baby? Instead, she has no idea where her baby is!! That's a great mom in my book- four stars indeed! lol What kind of mother parties her butt off for a month while she claims her child has been taken by a babysitter?! Face it Connie, that sweet girl is dead, maybe by accident, maybe at her mother's hands, maybe somehow completely different, but she is gone. Rarely ever does a child go missing for a month and is recovered alive. I dare you to prove me wrong. lol ridiculous.

[ghosthunter]

Accident or not the baby is probley dead. I really believe that this whole family know what happened and there is a major cover up going on in this family. I also think this whole issue of the who the babys father is , is pretty strange. Who doesnt know who the father of their baby is? And why dont the parents of Casey know? I think it is because her brother or dad is that childs father. Also for the guy in Canada, a couple weeks ago some crazy cut someones head off on a bus..how quickly we forget.

[lawyer in training]

I think that casey had given caylee to someone she really didnt know. However, thought she knew them) and let them use her white car and when she finally found the car caylee was dead and the person she left caylee with gave her a false name. That person gave her a false name somehow know the the zanaida gonzalez lady went to look at an apartment and just used her name. The person gave casey that fake name and killed little caylee. When casey found caylee and the car she was dead she didn't know what to do. So she tried to call her parents or she tried calling her parents cuz she couldn't find the car or caylee but was scared to tell her parents what she did. When she finally found the car and caylee she didn't have a clue where the person was or the persons real name. So she tried to cover the whole thing up. However, I think that person is still at large and casey thought she could find her on her own. Just my theory

[Radar]

Possible scenario: Caylee is injured either by accident or in an angry moment with Casey at the grandparent's home. Casey's frantic phone calls try to reach grandparents and others on that day. Casey buries Caylee in the back yard while grandparents are away. Casey then moves the body to the trunk of the car and takes the gas cans to an undisclosed location to burn the body. Casey's comment that Caylee is close to home could mean her ashes are somewhere at the grandparent's house. I do not believe Caylee is still alive. I believe Casey destroyed the body so that the true cause of death will never be determined. We do know the cadiver dogs hit on the trunk and a patch in the back yard. I think Caylee's body was in that earth for a short period of time before being moved and burned. I say, "Look for the ashes." Casey is far too self-centered to help with this investigation in any way whatsoever. But the truth will prevail.

[CR]

A NOTE TO THE CANADIAN POSTER. THIS CAN NOT ONLY HAPPEN IN THE U.S. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE, HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE GUY WHO BEHEADED A PASSENGER ON THE BUS? THEY WILL PROBABLY MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THAT TOO.

[Leigh]

This is my view on what happened. I think this beautiful child has passed. I believe Casey threw a temper tamtrum as she usually does and took Caylee (her way of getting back at her parents)to go on a shopping spree. She left Caylee in the car and the baby died. Casey frantically called her mommy and daddy but when she couldn't reach them she put Caylee in the trunk and drove home. She backed her car into the garage (as seen by neighbor) tried to bury her in the back yard. Didn't work so she took her body and disposed of her.

Once Casey was found by her mom, she( or they) came up with the kidnapping story. She says she wouldn't talk for fear that the kidnappers will hurt Caylee. So when the body is found she will blame Caylee's death on the kidnappers.

[Aleisha]

I believe Caylee is burind somewhere close to home. Casey stated taht she blieves Caylee was close to home and safe, no kidding it's because she is finally safe in heaven, and her body is buried where no one can find it. Have they checked around for the fathers name and check around his burial site? I doubt this was an accidental death, Casey killed her intentionally becaus she was jealous of her own daughter and the attention she got from the grandparents. Obviously there was a dead body in the car, dogs don't hit on just nothing. They need to cut off one finger by finger until she tells where her daughters body it!

[WOW]

Wow! think the whole thing is just completely WOW! There are so many things that dont add up! Even the lawyer, he's so ticked on the video trying to get her in the car! Why? I mean, no matter what....she DID wait a month and had not reported her missing...her mother did, and she has not appeared tramatized at all, except for when the judge mentioned that she had some mental and emotional problems. The bottom line is...even if she didnt do anything to Caylee herself....she hasnt really tried to help the detectives find her! And I agree with the blog about how she's in the courtroom smiling like, this is so fun! Its very, very sad! And I feel for the parents, no matter what, its their granddaughter, and their daughter. Its easy to judge them, but how many people have been in this situation?

[Ray]

I wonder how long it will be before Casey is asking her parents if her boyfriend Tony can come over for a "conjugal" visit? That's why Casey conveniently "lost" of Caylee -- the poor child was getting in the way of her sex romps. Until that little girl is found -- alive or most likely dead -- I hope she is hounded by someone asking every minute -- Where Is Caylee?

[Dee]

Let me get this straight: Casey knows who has Caylee but wont tell anyone unless shes out of jail, according to the grandparents.
Well Anthony family...we are all waiting!

[Michael R.]

Well, if things could talk then I'm sure you'd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
Oh, ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
Ain't you glad [Glad]
Glad that things don't talk

Now, if shovels could tell where they've been
When you say you've been out visiting a friend
Ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
He-he-hey, ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
But ain't you glad [Glad]
Glad that shovels don't talk

Now, if car trunks could tell who's turned the key
While Moms away out searching for Calee
If cars could tell who's been inside
And who's been taking Calee out for a one way ride
Ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
Oh, ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
But ain't you glad [Glad]
Glad that cars don't talk

In a world of trouble I'd be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
'Cause I'm guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Ain't no telling what they might say
Ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
Oh, ain't you glad [Ain't you glad]
Ain't you glad [Glad]
Glad that things don't talk

Sincerely

Your lying friend

[ewoman]

By the way-my posting is listed under Laura's name? What's up with that-I am ewoman and under my name those are not my views. Get it together ID

...ID has it together. you are looking at it wrong...

[Jenny in Fla]

Seriously,

Has any one of you actually heard from the person that has been babysitting this child for the past two years? Someone was babysitting this child. And she has not been found - can anyone dispute this? How many of you leave your children with a babysitter? Do you ask for a driver's license / birth certificate / anything ? I don't and probably should. For those of you who are going to dispute that question with, "I dont leave my child with someone I don't know"....congrats....some of us dont have that luxury and are left to seek a child care provider. Right now, Casey may have made an error in judgement, or maybe she has made several. But with all the Psychs and Media and Police surely someone could come up a body. Have they? Nope. So, why dont we stop throwing stones and try to help find this child. If she is dead - she is dead. If she is not - you should all be ashamed for your ignorant behavior. Your closed mind could have been the same one that saw this child in passing today.

[Tmintz]

When I lived in Columbia SC right after the Susan Smith case. There was a lady in our church named Myra Pearson. She had a stepson that was 12yrs old. He was Autistic. One morning I was getting ready for work the news was on and she came on the TV, crying and saying that she had dropped him off at school and the school had lost him. Her story was that she was late taking him to school and she dropped him off. By himself around 10am. School had already let in and no one was out there to help the child into his class. Remember he is autistic. She said that she had forgotten his book bag so she left him at school and she drove home to get the book bag. When she came back about 30mins. later she went into the classroom and asked for him and said she was dropping off the bag. The teacher said, He never came to class. So the school called the police and the local news came out to the school. There was Myra crying, and pleading with whoever took her son to please bring him back. This went on for about 3 weeks. Press conferences were held. The preacher was called to be a witness for her character. The police finally arrested her. Because she just looked guilty. Who leaves an Autistic child on a school yard without walking him into class when they are late by almost 2hours? After arresting her. She told the police she had a vision come to her in the night. She said the vision was that she would know where the child was, if they would just put her in a squad car and let drive her around she was sure she could find the place she saw in her vision. She drove around for a while and finally led them to an old abandoned house on the Congaree Swamp. They found the child with a plastic trash bag around his head, and the brick that she had smashed him in the head with. When the story finally came out. What really happened was, She said, she was tired of taking care of him because of his handicap. She had 4 other children of her own that she was taking care of and he was in the way. So she drove out there to a secluded spot and told him he was a burden to her and his father and this was what needed to happen. She said, he told her "okay mama, I understand and I love you". She placed a trash bag on his head and smashed him to death with brick and drug his body under the old house. She is in jail in Columbia SC serving a life sentence. At first everyone said she could not have done it because she was so small, and she went to church every Sunday. She was such a good mom. PLEASE! Anyone who watched her on TV should have seen through her! She never shed tears! Just sobbing sounds. My children sang in choir with her son. I and many other would have taken him and raised him as our own. I have thought about this so many times over the years. When I see a mother on TV like Casey I know she is lying too! She has never even shed a tear for her child. Just herself...
