FIRST! and no, unfortunately I don't think she's alive :-(

[Kathy]

Any mother would have solicited the help of everyone in their lives to help find their child when they found the child was missing. Human nature, more so, the inate nature of a mother, is too fly into adrenaline mode and knocks down door, body slam people and go screaming through the neighborhood. She would have naturally become hysterical and drawn attention to herself. As of yet, no one has commented she asked anyone for help or if they saw the babysitter or her baby girl. I don't buy that she was trying to do the investigation herself. That is not a natural instinct action. If her family is as close as they say they are they would have been the first people she would have gone to. They in turn could have thought a little straighter and put the wheels in motion to capture the kidnapper and redeem the baby.
A murderer would keep quiet, avoid contact with people that would be interested in the child and then lie when questioned. She went a very long time undetected. She probably was beginning to think she could pull it off. The grandmothers’ first impulse was more in line with what is normal. She was driving Casey to the police station, calling 911 numerous times, even saying the car smelled as if there were a dead body in it. She went to the extreme any mother would have gone to when finding out their child was missing.
I tend to agree with the child killer mother profile given by Dr. Deborah Schurman-Kauflin. Casey does center this investigation on herself and not Caylee pointing to the need for attention. A young woman mentally drowning with this need would fall into the position of a survivor and would even put her child on the line for the sake of her own ego's survival. (Schurman-Kauflin)

Appears that she moved the body from her parent's back yard to the car then disposed of it elsewhere. Going to be difficult to find the body without her cooperation since no one knows where she drove (are there any credit card receipts? what about cell phone records?). Even if she made calls during her drive, it can only narrow the search not determine the body's location. I presume they will charge her with capital murder even if they don't a have a body, then cut a deal and give her life if she tells them where the body can be found.

[susan]

I have listened and watched and more likely than not the child is dead. There has been no amber alert posted. They must have enough evidence that leans toward a homicide or an amber alert would have been issued. When they first said a few days back, that gas had been stolen from the shed, I knew Casey had taken them, and now we find out, by her own father, that she did. She eveything to keep him out of her trunk on the day she stopped by, without caylee, and he insisted and there were the gas cans??? It all adds up. She may have not killed her, but I believe that there was an accident, maybe she left her in car and it was hot outside, something like that and she was to afraid of how her mother would react…………it seems she and her mom have some issues when it comes to the child ………why else would she need to take her out of their home to bond with her? I think she buried the body in the back yard after using the neighbors shovel and then realized she could not do that because the neighbors new she had the shovel, and so she dug her up put her in car trunk. That is why they dog hit on the car and they also found dirt and so she broke in the shed, stole the gas and burned her somewhere to try and destroy evidence, but if she is capable of burning her own daughter’s body…….. then she could have killed her. I cannot understand her acting they way she has, the partying? Maybe the timeline is incorrect and this did not happen until after the photos were taken she said no one had seen her since the 16th of June and the gas cans were stolen on the 23rd or 24th. I guess i am trying to understand how she could be acting this way knowing her daughter is missing, I believe dead. I think she probably is not acting upset to try and fool police in knowing she is dead. What I mean is she knows caylee is dead, and she is telling everyone she is just missing so she has to try and play the part, so maybe in her eyes by appearing to be not to upset she thinks that will make them believe she is only missing and not dead? Or she could be just crazy. And then when her body does turn up they will all be trying to blame this nanny, right?? yeah whatever

[Queenbee]

So sad. 83.8% of the people polled think this poor little girls is not a live. This is such a sad story.

[jade]

I wonder if the police have thought about searching the vacant apartment where the babysitter was supposed to be living. According to new rumors, someone by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez actually went to see the place two days after Caylee went missing. She filled out the guest card and put a phone number. When complex management called the number it was disconnected.

[emma]

i think the reason this zenaida name came up is because casey did check out perhaps the same apartment that zenaida checked out when casey decided to move out of her mother's home and remembered the name. during her completely fabricated story that she seems to make up as she goes along, that name popped into her head and she blurted out the name to keep her lies going. zenaida exists but had nothing to do with caylee. i thought maybe the boyfriend had something to do with her, but no. this was casey's doing. she accidentally killed her, buried her in the park or swamp, ditched the car cause it reeked so badly of the dead kid, and then partied and had fun until her mother cindy found her after getting a letter from the towing company. casey wasn't looking for her kid. she was living it up at fusion with her boyfriend and buying drinks with stolen money from her roommate's checking account and her mother's credit cards. the local police have figured all this out. they just need the DNA proof and possibly a confession from casey. that's what they're waiting for. they know the kid is long dead as do most likely the parents and brother. and she probably died around june 15 or a little before that. i'm betting on heat exhaustion/asphyxiation. have they given casey a lie detector test? that might help. and a plea bargain she might take?

[Mimi]

I think the person who looked at the apartment was Casey, looking to set up her false explination after killing poor Caylee, burying her in her parents yard, moving the body and burning it with the missing gasoline. I pray to God that this little angel is still alive but I think we all know she has departed this earth by the hands of her monster mother.

[Laura]

It is sad that hardly anyone has faith that this little girl is alive. I have a 3 yr old son and I am the same age as caycee. I would never hurt my child, but I can understand being this young how overwhelmed you can get. My feelings are maybe she gave the child away or sold the child so she could be free. Id hate to think a mother could kill her child to get rid of the responsibility. I will still pray for the Anthony's and I hope caylee is found.

[K.P]

My prayers go out to little Caylee.This family had issues and this little girl, it seems, was a pawn caught in the middle.I don't have any doubt the grandmother loved this little girl,and Casey being the party type,probably left her with the grandparents quite a bit while she partied.When they are young like that the child will bond with the primary caregiver,which I imagine was the grandparents.That may be where the problem came in for Casey.A sad situation.

[jasmine]

My guess is that she is probally not alive, but if the cops got the dna back what's the hold up? Was there no dna match? What was the stain in the back of the car? This mother is crazy and so is the grandmother, they are talking about a babysitter having her and that she may be in danger like she's being held for randsom or something. Casey Anthony has not made any sense and the fact that she continues not to help the police in this investigation because she is worried about herself is a joke to me and shows her true character. I understand Cindy wanting to believe her daughter, but at some point you'd think that Cindy would realize that she can't believe a word that comes out of her daughters mouth.

[AKS]

My possible theory: She was hanging out with her partying crowd & was involved in or witnessed something bad happen to somebody. Possibly helped move the body in the trunk of her car. Took Caylee to somebody she trusted to keep her safe & is now unable to protect Caylee because she is in jail....and all eyes are on her. Maybe the DNA was not the baby's. Maybe the baby is safe & that is why she is acting like she doesn't care because she knows that Caylee is safe & close & being taken care of. I heard a report that there were two cadaver dogs at the scene. One of them hit on the car & yard, while the other one didn't. Which one was correct?????

[D'Alva]

I have been in prayer about this case and all I kept seeing was a picture of a black dog beside Caylee. It is my understanding that the color "black" represents death. I believe that Casey has killed or had someone kill her daughter and that's the bottom line. The concrete slab that was poured in the back yard, has anyone stop to think that maybe this concrete was poured over the possible burial site of Caylee? Why else would just a simple slab of concrete be poured, in fact all of the money Casey has stolen could be used to pay that off because concrete is not cheap. Anyway, the parents are trying to convince themselves that they are ok and believe that Caylee is fine, but if you watch them closely, they are hesitant in their responses concerning Caylee's safety and Casey's behavior. As grandparents you want to protect your child and grandchild, but I honestly believe they are trying their best not to break down. They know Casey is a consist liar and that things don't add up, they are just trying to convince themselves that everything will be alright. After reading the "Myspace" postings that were posted before they were deleted..................those were the OBVIOUS signs that there was some dysfuntional things going in the home at the time. I believe that Casey killed her daughter to get revenge on her parents, and now that she has done that, she's lying to them and trying to make them believe that 1. she's innocent, and 2. Caylee is fine. But the detectives will bring it all out in the open very soon, when they do, I would love to see Casey reaction towards her parents...................I have a feeling it will be very cold-hearted and that she probably won't even appear resentful.

[Jan]

This is just a shame. I say that Casey Anthony killed her daughter for whatever reason, I don't know. I also say that her mother knows something and is keeping hush-hush to protect her daughter. I agree with a few who posted that Casey killed her daughter, buried her in the back yard, then removed the body and burned it to dispose of any evidence. Truth will be found out. Casey's lying will soon come to an end. I just hope that they give her life in prison with no chance of parole. Too bad it had to end up this way. This little girl did not deserve this.

[I Smell a Rat]

One of the things that puzzles me in view of the events/statements of the last few days is the odor of a dead body in the car. The grandmother mentioned it in one of her 911 calls and the grandfather said he thought maybe Casey had run over a dead animal. From that, I can't tell if he meant he had smelled it or said that after the cadaver dogs had alerted on it.

I am puzzled, wondering why or if THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY that sent the letter to the Anthonys about the car noticed the odor and if not, why not? If they had, one would think they would have alerted the police.

[AlmostPerfect]

The grandparents should be applying more pressure to their spoiled brat of a daughter. Likely she was 'threatened' by her own offspring and perhaps in a jealous rage took the life that once gave many smiles of unconditional love. If this girl was my daughter I'd be telling her that if Caylee doesn't show up immediately or if she didn't tell the police where to find her IMMEDIATELY that as a FAMILY we would be COMPLETELY AGAINST HER and ask for the most devistating sentence the law would allow. Shame on her grandparents for showing such a lack of love and devotion to Caylee.

[Watching from New York]

Every day that Cindy and George Anthony go through the horrible charade of "searching" for a living Caylee is another day's dishonor to this dead child's memory.

Maybe there is something in the water in Orlando, but I have never seen such a collection of liars in my life, from the family members to friends who were interviewed. Everyone is suppressing the truth...at least to the media. I want to be charitable to those who told reporters they couldn't talk and believe that they were forthcoming with the FBI or local police. And as for the Anthony grandparents, I hope that Cindy's penchant for pathological lying ended when she came face to face with the law.

I have asked myself how I would act, as a parent, if my own child were guilty of such a heinous crime. Would I also try to protect her by stonewalling an investigation? Making up ridiculous stories (rotting pizza...dead squirrel....) or would I get her the best possible legal representation, a rabbi and a psychologist, hold her hand and encourage her to tell the truth?

Cindy Antony's lies and arrogance are especially unbearable. She literally makes me want to shake her by the shoulders. Listening to her, one realizes that Casey Anthony did not happen in a vacuum. Lying is the air that these women breathe. They are the Bobbsey Twins of Bulls--t.

On the other hand, though he has lied as well, it seems that George Anthony is more pained by what is happening, more aware of the severity of the situation. And Lee seems to have dropped off the radar screen. I am hoping that he is the conscience of the family, cooperating with the investigation.

Here's the thing: the truth will be revealed very soon, without the cooperation of Casey or her parents. Most of America knows that it will point to a long-dead Caylee and a guilty Casey Anthony. The many elements of this case, including the date of the child's disappearance do not make sense because they are shrouded in lies.

I have read dozens of blogs and comments from people local and far away regarding this story. I am watching it unfold from my summer home in upstate NY, fascinated by my own fascination with it...and the nation's. It's not for lack of other activities or work; I am hardly under-employed, in fact, I typically work 10-hour days.

Simply, the Caylee Marie Anthony case is the most heartbreaking yet riveting one I can recall. I could offer you various reasons for this, including the constellation of personalities in the Anthony family, the fact that there seems to be a central secret that Cindy Anthony is guarding (my own speculation: look at Caylee's photos and see who she most resembles from the Anthony family) and the external normalcy of Casey Anthony. Forget that she is sitting in jail on felony charges of child neglect as well as the lesser charge of lying to the police and impeding the investigation and she is so much like a typical twentysomething American girl that the true horror of the situation emerges.

Casey Anthony is a completely homegrown nightmare.

When I first heard her jailhouse call to Cindy early on (the one where she is utterly sarcastic about her mom's "cameos" on television) she sounded so much like any teenage girl ragging on her mother that it was utterly stunning to me.

Sadly, we know where this investigation is heading. Credit card receipts and phone records will help fill in the story of Casey's whereabouts the past weeks. Photos have surfaced, showing a carefree Casey during the time the girl was allegedly missing. The timeline will be revised as to Caylee's actual disappearance. Investigators have said that the babysitter is a fiction...which most of us knew, right from the start. Cadaver dogs will come back on the scene. Further evidence is being collected and anaylzed. The DNA report is in and so is the psychiatric evaluation, which was ordered sealed.

Casey Anthony is responsible for the death of her child. Cindy Anthony is responsible for the creation of the monster called Casey. Perhaps that family secret will emerge in the course of the unfolding of this case, or perhaps it will not.

But one thing is certain, Casey Anthony will never walk freely again.

And that sweet, precious child with the big eyes, will not be attending her third birthday party, this Saturday.

Rest in peace, Caylee Marie Anthony. May angels protect you and provide you with the childhood you were denied here on earth.

[Shell]

I pray that Caylee is alive & safe. But as the days go on, and her mother does not reveil her location, I think the worst. Her mother should be executed.

[Carl]

I think there's much more to this story. I have a feeling that the father- supposedly deceased, is not the father at all. I think Lee is the father. Hence Caylee- a combination of the mother's and father's names. This family is so persistent in hiding information that one would think that there is much, much more. I hope DNA tests provide the father's name. I know this seems unbelievable but look at the circumstances. Nothing is too far fetched for this family.
Casey is the murderer and the family knows it. They are maintaining their 'ignorance' to ensure that the web of lies continues. I have a feeling that the dad will be the one to come clean. Of all the individuals in this story, he seems to be the one staying the furthest from it. Lee and Cindy are complete morons. Lee was laughing on camera and offered "photo ops" with the Hooter's girls. Stay classy- Lee. Cindy, in her initial 911 call said, "I've already given you 30 days. I'm not giving you any more." Does that mean she knew that the girl was missing for 30 days? Why didn't she call immediately? Blah-blah-blah, they are all guilty of conspiracy.

[imaknitter]

There are so many people fascinated with this case out of compassion for the child and I hope that we will all remember little Caylee in our prayers.

[Lee]

There is an obvious psychosis with the mother of this child and a family pathology that has driven the whole scenario. Some people are just not meant to have children. I have the same opinion of this case as I do when a spouse kills the other spouse: hey, why not just get a divorce? Well, Casey should have given the child to someone who would love and care for her. Very tragic and sad. I feel for the rest of the family, and Casey will get what she deserves. She's not smarter than everyone else.

[jessie]

Caylee is dead. Cindy and Casey both know it. They are LIARS! I do feel sorry for Casey's dad, though. You can tell that he's dying inside. He knows what happened to Caysee. He knows his wife and daughter are liars! He's the only one who seems to feel any pain over Caycee's death.

[Sean]

I understand rasing $$ to help in efforts, but why aren't they out there pounding the pavement looking for this child. What confuses me is that they set up a trust fund. isn't that normally set up for someone when, say a parent dies, to benefit a child? sometimes they set these up as a for memorial scholarships. I hope they are using this $$ to pay for her defense.

[Becca]

There is new information that on June 16th she frantically called her parents and friends with calls just minutes apart. When she didn't get answers the calls just stopped and then started again the same way the day she borrowed the shovel. My thoughts, she left the girl in the car, little Caylee sadly passed away, and Casey panicked. She called her parents looking for advice, because I believe the grandmother is as crazy as the mother is, and when she didn't get an answer she found her own solution to the problem. She took the gas and the shovel and "threw away" her problems. Again, that is my theory, but I think that with all of the new information, police are starting to look at the same type of scenario. Investigators aren't stupid. They know something is up with this Casey and her family.

[Carolyn]

I have been praying for Caylee that she is somehow at peace in the arms of God. Every facet of information leads to her sad ending. How this poor excuse of a human being can be a mother at all makes me sick. The grandparents are stupid and I cannot believe with the technology in the world, why can't they figure out what she did? Aren't there FBI or CIA satellites somewhere in the world of space so they can view with cameras on earth? These are times it would be good to have that kind of access for law enforcement!

So sad for this innocent child, Caylee. God be with her!

[Jenn]

My gut feeling is that Casey killed her and yes maybe it was an accident. What's really strange is how all of the sudden when the DNA results are due back, she now starts saying she thinks her daughter is in danger. Gee what a coincidence...My 1st instinct when I read what her mother said was that idiot liar is saying that now because she knows the truth about Caylee is surfacing and she isnt about to take responsibility for her actions so instead will continue to use the mysterious babysitter story. If or when they do find a body, poor ol Casey can cry and tell everyone she was right about her so called mother/child instints (because she's so close to her daughter and such a good mother) that Caylee was in danger and no one listened to her or believed in her. It seems to me from reading all the posts, articles, etc..the only people she is fooling is her family. Although part of me is beginning to think they are trying to protect her now because they wouldn't be able to cope with the loss of Caylee and her. What family would?

[Don]

I personally believe that Casey was not paying attention to Caylee after everyone left the home and the child climbed the ladder and got into the pool and drowned. After missing for a short time, Casey found her drowned in the pool and started to call her family members, but no one answered.
I think she borrowed the shovel and buried the child's body in the backyard.
I think that Casey informed someone in the family about what happened and they decided that the child's body should be moved. I believe she dug up the body, placed it in the trunk and buried it somewhere else until she stole the gasoline. Once she got the gasoline, she burned the body and disposed of it somewhere.
I believe that Casey used the gas to burn the body and then bought more gas so that the gas cans still appeared to be full.
The child is not alive and I believe that the family knows more than what they are saying.

[tink]

people leave there kids at home asleep by themselfs so im sure she put her to sleep in the trunk or just left her in the car asleep

[HAL]

What about the odd phone calls between Casey and her brother while she was in jail. They spoke in code to each other and he asked her if there was a change in who they could trust. Casey then told him that she would let him know if something changed. I think her brother is somehow involved also. I think that the mother's initial frantic reactions and 911 calls tell the truth about who Casey is and what she is capable of. If you thought your daughter was capable of murder, then that is exactly how you would respond.

[Katie]

I have read much on this case, and from what I have heard and read; From the cadaver dogs' search on the vehicle and backyard proving that a corpase had been there recently, to the mother's lies concerning the whereabouts of her daughter(especially when found that the "babysitter's" apartment had been vacant since february and no one with that name even met Caylee OR Casey), to the complete lack of emotion concerning her daughter's whereabouts or safety; I am beginning to think this is a homicide.

I do not believe the child is still alive, and I believe that the mother had a hand in the daughter's current absence.
The evidence found thus far, as stated by police and investigators is also leading them to believe it is homicide. I believe the evidence and professionals rather than the habitual liar.

[Lori]

I am a mother of 2 small children one who is close in age to Caylee. As a mother, I am constantly concerned with their safety and well being. It is hard for me to understand or comprehend the actions of Casey which leads me to believe that something tragic has happened to Caylee. I do think it is possible that something acidentally happened to Caylee and Casey is unable to deal with it so she is covering it up. It is also possible that she wanted a new start to life and Caylee was not part of the plan. However, if she loves Caylee as much as those who are close to her say she does, then it is possible that an accident has occured and she has chosen this unfornuate way to deal with it! In any event, I do not feel Caylee is alive. I hope and pray I am wrong.

[Katie]

If Casey really is as innocent as she says she is, then I say we give her a lie detector test and see just how ready she really is to cooperate with Police.
It's obvious by the lack of truth in her words that she doesn't want to help the case or find her daughter.

If she is willing to take a lie detector test, and actually PASS it, then maybe she can help the case move foward. Until that point- Keep her away from investigation. Let the evidence speak for itself.

[Jupiter]

Let my venting not take away from the main issue at had the missing Caylee!
But with Casey sitting in jail lying and not doing much to help in finding her daughter.....
I also sat back and realized that everytime I have seen any of her family on television, including parents George and Cindy along with brother Lee, not once have I actually seen them pounding the pavement knocking on doors or searching for Caylee ....just candle vigils which isnt gonna find Caylee.
What I have noted however is that its become real easy for Casey's family to have incredibly horrible manners on television. (I dont think I have heard one thank you from them in regards to all the money the taxpayers are wasting on feeding and clothing their darlinng Casey in jail...or the countless man hours the CI have spent digging, and researching evidence....)
May the truth soon follow!

[Rosemarie]

I don't believe Caylee is with us any longer. If the law enforcement, CSI, FBI, and forensic lab results reveal the child is gone and the doors will blow the case wide open!!!Then, Casey will be responsible for the death of a child and will spend the rest of her life in the confines of the prison walls.

On Greta Van Susteren Show, the legal panel including ex-judge Jeanine Piro stated that they believe child is dead and the whole family and the lawyer are feeding the public LIES, LIES,LIES,LIES, LIES and they need to finally step forward and speak of the TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH! They all agreed that this family are a bunch of WACKOS from the word get go! I think Lee, the brother, is weird and seems to have a very strange very familiar relationship with his sister Casey. One thing immediately hit me was incest..Lee maybe the real biological father of this little girl and that's why they couldn't put the father's name on the birth certificate. And Cindy Anthony, while on the stand, lied because she stated that she couldn't remember the name of the supposedly deceased father of Caylee??? How could she forget?? She stated that she just finished reading about his death in the obituary?????????? Something is very fishy with her tale!! There are too many dark and evil secrets within the walls of this Anthony household.

If the female prisoners have the opportunity of getting hold of Casey, they would get the real truth out of her in no time. It was reported that they hated this Casey for what she did to little Caylee and can't wait to get their hands on Casey!

Casey is a narcisstic, selfish, evil, self centered, and spoiled brat individual. In fact, a woman attorney described her as a wicked young girl who showed total disrespect for her parents, one who probably never made her bed in the morning, never offer to help clean around the house, and never even clear the breakfast table and put the dirty dishes in the sink.

George is a pathetic and wimpy individual who allowed his wife and daughter to use him as a doormat!! I was so surprised that he was an ex-cop????? If he was a former homicide detective, George would have approached this case as a hard nosed and no nonsense detective even if he was retired.

[Buzz]

I also believe that most likely whatever happened was an accident. To paraphrase my favorite local talk show host, It's not the crime, but the coverup that gets you into real trouble.

[Eric]

You are right on the money Karen! exactly what I was thinking. And then figured she had to cover her tracks so she posed as Zenaida Gonzales looking at this apartment to go along with her story. Her lawyer says she has a compelling story to be told in the right time. Uh huh, I'm sure she does, it seems like it's more fantasy, from this pathelogical liar. And you know the family has an idea but now is focused of defending their daughter so they don't lose her too.

[Genesis]

If some of these articles I am reading say that the authorities feel she (the mother) could crack on what she knows...why not cut out a little bit of time on this. Tell her that the authorities or judge has decreed she will be put in with the general population within the prison? This threat may work wonders....besides they'd be beating her at her own game with a little "white lie". Nothing ventured nothing gained. I say drastic measures are called for in serious situations and this would definitely put the fear of god in this mother to know that she would have to defend herself against other women in the general population of the prison, I am sure there are alot of women in there who may have done wrong deeds but still love their children enough to hate what this women is doing. May even bring her down a peg with her arrogant, narcisistic personality to envision what could happen to herself. Just a suggestion I think should be passed on.

[Elizabeth]

Being a mom to three boys...I have no clue how the heck any woman who gives birth to a child could harm them or even think about killing them. This girl...is not sane. She is selfish and I think that they should throw her into the general public of the jail and tell her she needs to fend for herself. She doesn't deserve any chances..she didn't give her daughter any choices and hurt that beautiful baby. If the parents knew this girl had issues...they should have protected their grand daughter. Everytime you see this girl on TV she is getting the attention she wanted. The attention she needs is to have her rear end beat until she starts talking. She is trash.

[wandererok]

I would shake the crap of her mother and put her throu very hard days and nights of questions until she broke.

[Ladybug]

Maybe she needed money and sold her child to family or someone who would pay her $$$. She says she knows wher Caylee is. I wondered if police have checked that avenue. Her phone record and bank account should be cheched.

[Lucy]

I do not believe Caylee is alive but, do not believe it was a homicide. I think she likely fell in the pool and Casey can't deal with the truth....or something similiar as the result of neglect. I think Casey has carried it so far she doesn't know how to end this nightmare.

[LadyM]

Why is the sheriff's department protecting Casey when she did not protect her precious child. I don't care how much I needed money, I would have taken care of my child and that would have not including partying at some club. There are many ways to get assistance without giving your child away, selling her or whatever she did. She makes me sick and I agree the threat of general population might get the truth out of this selfish brat.

[velma graham]

Yes, I too believe that Caylee has been murdered. I also believe that her mother Cindy, initially believed that something sinister had happened to her grand-daughter. It appears that family members, friends, or an attorney suggested to Cindy Anthony to 'cool it", and show support to Casey. I continue to see the grand-mother wearing Caylee's picture, but are they (the family), leading search teams? No one is commenting on search teams. Also, I am hoping that the investigators are putting together a strong case against Casey. I hope that if this case goes to trial, that she will not get off by a "technicality", from the police mis-handling evidence, or something of that sort. When will the DNA and other clues come in? What a total waste this will be if she sold her child and knows all along where she is. If this is the case, she should still be charged with a crime. Look at all of the TV coverage this case has generated. as out-spoken as Cindy Anthony is, why isn't she demanding that an AMBER ALERT be in effect? Strange.

Yes, I too believe that Caylee has been murdered. I also believe that her mother Cindy, initially believed that something sinister had happened to her grand-daughter. It appears that family members, friends, or an attorney suggested to Cindy Anthony to 'cool it", and show support to Casey.

They're all nuts yes... But grandma and grandpa had nothing to do with Caylee's sad fate...However now they know Caylee is not coming home and Casey is all they have left of Caylee, and yes they are going to protect her. I have a 16 year old son who I know steals stuff from everyone including me, I know he is, yet I still get very very protective and defensive when some one else accuses him, it's just human nature, right or wrong... As crazy as the grandma may seem if you read her myspace entry, the date escapes me now, but around the time this all broke out in the news, she was devastated, she would have raised this child without mommy dearest and THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT!!!! Casey killed this child to hurt her mother, to piss her off... It's that simple and it's sickening, All these people saying she may have accidently hurt this child, come on... You are giving her next defense, I can already hear her sleeze-ball attorney now when they formally charge her with murder 1... "Casey had a gig at the bar, promotional stuff at the hot body contest, grandma was fed up with Casey s--t and said no I will not babysit tonight so casey had no choice but to take Caylee with her and leave her the car, she parished, Casey being scared and consumed with guilt and grief panicked and came up with bs story..." BAM... murder one out the window!!! This was NO ACCIDENT! Casey wanted it all... the kid was a pawn, when that wasn't working anymore, no need for the kid. She planned all this... She just didnt get to the finish line... I mean even in her first offical statement to police she said she "told 2 co-workers at Universal that Caylee was missing". Um, no job at universal and the names were Jeffery Hopkins (couldnt use the name Anthony Hopkins-actor-"Silence of the Lambs", (too close to her own name and cops would have known right away she making it up) and Juliette Lewis-actress-"Natural Born Killers"... and in response to Cindy's myspace entry Casey replied with a poem, last 2 lines... "Every one lies, Every one dies". But... if we are all wrong ... I will eat my words and apologize but... I did NOT have to apologize to susan smith

SHOULDN'T THE GRANDMOTHER BE IN JAIL FOR DESTROYING EVIDENCE FOR WASHING THE GRAY SLACKS. IS THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER PARENTS IN THE PICTURE AT ALL. WHAT ABOUT CASEY'S BROTHER? HAS HE TAKEN A POLYGRAPH TEST? GRANDPARENTS AREN'T BEING AS UPSET AS THEY SHOULD BE...IF IT WAS MY G'DAUGHTER I WOULD BE OUT THERE SEARCHING NOT PUTTING DOWN THE PRESS AND REPORTERS FOR DOING THERE JOB. HAS CASEY BEEN TESTED FOR BI-POLAR? IS SHE ON ANY KIND OF MEDICATION. I THINK THE WHOLE FAMILY NEEDS TO BE TESTED FOR MENTAL DISORDER. THE FAMILY IS DIS-FUNCTIONAL AND SADISTIC. THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO CAYLEE. AND BY THE WAY...NANCY GRACE, YOU HAVE 2 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL ABOUT SHOWING THEM ON NATIONAL TELEVISION..THANK YOU BOBBI

Interesting case for sure. The facts as I see it after much research both reading, watching and listening: 1. Caylee is dead, no ands, ifs or buts about it. 2. Her mother Casey was directly involved either by accident (pool drowning etc), or by murder on purpose due to her narcissitic and immature personality. 3. At best she has limited concern for Caylee's welfare as her actions and demeanor post disappearance indicate she knows what happened to the little girl, has accepted fate and is now focusing on spinning her excuses and defense. 4. The grandmother knows what has happened, is trying to spin it to protect her daughter and family, yet struggles with her granddaughter's loss; 5. The grandfather also knows what happened and is doing his best to support his wife and daughter with their coverup by playing "stupid"; 6. Interesting family dynamics for sure: A. Narcassitic daughter/mother who was out partying during her daughter's disappearance; intersting demeanor with limited concern for her daughter's welfare. B. Brother with his coded conversations---Caylee the product of incest, covererd up by protective and embarrassed parents? Who is the father and will somebody please ID him? Those grandparents have no contact with their granddaughter?? C. Seems both grandparents have accepted the fate of the loss of their granddaughter, trying to spin a reasonable defense but the deeper this goes the less sense it makes.
