Tests Confirm Decomposing Body Was In Casey Anthony's Car
August 27, 2008
The University of Tennessee has provided investigators with lab test results of air samples that were taken from Casey Anthony's car, which allegedly show that a decomposing human body had been inside the trunk.
Prosecutors have now offered Anthony partial immunity, in exchange for her admission that Caylee Anthony died as a result of an accident. The deal is set to expire in 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Leonard Padilla and his nephew, Tony Padilla, are now telling reporters that they regret getting involved in the case.
"Maybe we got duped a little bit. Maybe we overestimated her," Tony Padilla told ABC News.

I really wish Casey would lead them to her body if in fact
she is a dead child.She does seem to be living at her family home.How do they feel now?

This should have come to no surprise to the Padillas, since Casey's mother reported early on that Casey's car smelled like there had been a dead body in it, and cadaver dogs reacted positively to the trunk, meaning there was every likelihood it had contained a dead body. A stain and some of Caylee's hair was also in the trunk.
The Padillas must have posted the bond just for publicity. Nobody is that dumb.

How sad,,,

My co-workers and I have been following this story closely as most of us have children and working in the field we do (domestic violence shelter) it is very hard for us accept this little girl is dead. We hope that she is alive but with everything that has come to light its getting harder and harder. I do hope that if Casey did do something to little Caylee that she be punished accordingly. No child should have to suffer whatever fate Caylee most likely has and Casey deserves the harshed punishment available.

I would think things are not going well at the Anthony's home tonight, think of how enraged the grandparents may be, realizing they had been duped again by their own daughter?
I hope her whole world is closing in on her, let Casey feel so abused..... no one believes her.
Posted by: Sue in Texas | August 27, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Ok... Understood we dont know what happens behind closed doors. So we really dont know how her (Caseys) parents are reacting to this in an all.. But if this were my grandaughter and my twisted daughter, I would truly be beating the $#!+ out of her until she told me something!!!
God only knows where she left that baby at to just... Disappear!!! Dead or Alive..Shes all alone!! My heart hurts so damn bad for nobody other than that beautiful innocent little girl..
My son turns 3 in Sept. so I cant help but to look at him and wonder What, Why or Who could possibly even let the notion of killing these angels, even cross their minds!!
Lord knows my little man can test me to no end, but COME ON!!
All in all... Who knows, maybe the grandparents had just as much to do with this as their sick minded daughter...

I hope these bail bonds guys are happy with their new found fame. Too bad they have egg on their faces now. Should let police do their jobs. Casey is a murderer.

Has any police officials admitted that this alleged limited immunity deal was even offered??? Only finding this in the press, but not seeing anyone in law enforcement admitting it.
Posted by: Mari | August 27, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Please don't knock Lenoard Padilla. He came hoping to help
and find this precious Caylee-more than any of us tried to do.
He has held his head up high and admitted, he has failed so far.
Doesn't he feel bad enough for us not to tear him down?
I appreciate him going to Florida to help. It is just like all jobs, some work and some doesn't

I just saw a report that the Anthony family disputes the DNA evidence. Watching them reminds me of the reports the Iraqi Minister of Information used to make. see
"In an age of spin, al-Sahaf offers feeling and authenticity. His message is consistent -- unshakeable, in fact, no matter the evidence -- but he commands daily attention by his on-the-spot, invective-rich variations on the theme. His lunatic counterfactual art is more appealing than the banal awfulness of the Reliable Sources. He is a Method actor in a production that will close in a couple of days. He stands superior to truth."
-- Jean-Pierre McGarrigle
I feel very badly for the Anthony family but it's time to put precious resources towards finding other missing kids that might still be alive instead of wasting time trying to find Caylee.

They should revoke the bond immediately to save themselves, what they have left anyway. It would send a clear message and help put her in the corner police are hoping to do now with the immunity. Padilla and his crew have already been lied to because she wont even give them the time of the day...the people who got her out of jail. They have the power now. She is a user and cares only for herself. There is NO WAY she will confess to anything. She will let this go to trial because she thinks she can fool everyone.....lets face it she has been doing it for years and years...and now got people to travel from california and PAY 50,0000 for her. She must think she is very special...can you say "Serial Bully with Narcissistic personality disorder" ???????
Posted by: Lorraine | August 27, 2008 at 10:47 PM
I hope that they find Caylee alive but the evidence that they have now does not look good. If Casey in fact killed her precious beautiful little angel caylee I hope she gets the death penalty and suffers just like her little angel suffered at the hands of her own mother, the person she loved and trusted. This is truly the most horrific story that I have heard in a while.
Posted by: Donna | August 27, 2008 at 11:08 PM
All these weeks of liars,and investigations.Who in the hek is paying for all of this?What a beautiful child,and to be born to such a sick mother.She should be executed there,like she did to her child.
Posted by: mulvihill | August 27, 2008 at 11:16 PM
I watched the Nancy Grace show in horror tonight when the latest news was revealed that the air tests clearly show that there was a dead body in Casey Anthony's car. This is terrible and that beautiful little girl Caylee did not deserve any of this. Casey needs to tell the truth. Mr. Padilla the bail bondsman stated that both Cindy and George Anthony are devestated at this point now that they finally know the truth. Their daughter killed that beautiful child and tried to cover up with lie upon lie. I believe that she knew exactly what she was doing and wanted to rid herself of the burden of taking care of this lovely child and go out and party her butt off instead. What a lying $@#%!. She took a month to tell her own mother who she and Caylee had been living with, that her daughter was taken by the babysitter. She then has sexual relations with a deputy on the case shortly after her child is so called missing. She premediated this entire story to cover up her tracks. But the truth always comes out, and I'll bet that the FBI has more against Casey but the state is trying to find Caylee dead or alive and they are offering Casey limited immunity. They should not give her a darn thing! Casey has lied to everyone and will only continue to lie. She might say Caylee's death was an accident, but I hope they can find her body and do more tests to show whether it really was an accident. Justice will be served.

Well who really knows how long the child had been missing before the parents really called the police with Casey being a liar and all. Second of all this immunity is crap why should they believe anything that she has to say when everything has been a lie and goose chase from the beginning. Accident my butt! There she is shown sitting in court smiling, partying in bars when her little girl is missing but we all know the precious angel is dead and with no darn remorse or emotion. How can a mother carry a baby for 9 months, raise a child, kill it and have no shame or public display of emotions. I hope she is executed to the extent of the law and the grandparents HELLO the grandmother washed valuable evidence with the pair of jeans Is she covering up for her daughter? And what came of the new cement that was poured in backyard is it possible the precious angel lies there?? Its sickening and I pray God allows the truth to set free and let the little girl have a final resting place once and for all. Casey should be in jail not home watching tv, on the phone and enjoying her freedom!
Posted by: christine | August 27, 2008 at 11:32 PM
God Bless Caylee wherever she may be right now. This poor little girl was being raised by a liar and thief. It sounds like her grandparents aren't much better than Casey since they have known their own daughter to lie and steal from them. I can understand protecting your children however to protect Casey at her age now for getting herself into this mess is wrong when they had a beautiful 3 year old grand daughter that needed the most protection. This is one of the saddest stories I have heard in a long time. I think all parents need a licence to raise children, Casey would have never passed in her lifetime after watching this whole story unfold.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 27, 2008 at 11:44 PM
The police need to be searching the swamps and canals where the phone pings were traced. Tot mom probably threw the body to the alligators, hoping to buy some time, so there will be no evidence. Investigators should be looking for teeth, bones, clothing etc...
Posted by: cynthia | August 27, 2008 at 11:46 PM
The problem that most people have with Padilla is that when he came into the case he started off with such winning statements as:
"The competitors here in Florida are a bunch of dimwits. They didn't bail her out and they can't figure out why someone came from California came to do it. They're just idiots. They say, 'don't bail her out or we'll kill you, you son of a .-----' They want to try to put us out of business."
I seriously doubt the bondsmen in Florida were worried about him to the point of threatening his life. There are plenty of criminals, though none may have her current notoriety.
He might have stood a better chance of winning people over if he hadn't seemed like a publicity hound from the get go.
In regards to an immunity deal; if the Florida Law Enforcment isn't talking about it, it could be for a number of reasons. They may not know about it, they may no be allowed to talk about it or it may not even exist.
The saddest thing in this is that the true focus continues to shift from Caylee and the search for her to Casey and her idiotic actions. At this point I think the majority of people following the case do not believe the child is alive anymore and can't fathom how a mother can do soemthing like to her own child.
I think all of us tho, are hoping for some answer - whatever it may be.
Posted by: Dawn | August 27, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Mr. Padilla admitted on the Nancy Grace show that Casey Anthony has not mentioned Caylee once she she got bailed out of jail and has refused to speak to Mr. Padilla. Now he regrets bailing that so called mother out of jail and he can revoke the bond or his nephew can and I think they should. Then Casey will be back in jail where she belongs and she will crack sooner or later. She watches the news and has been since she was in jail. She knows everyone is against her and she will have do something. Thank God she did not try to kill herself like Trenton Duckett's mom did and took her secret to the grave and that beautiful little boy 3 yrs old is still missing. How can a parent hurt or murder their own child, I'll never understand that. It's disgusting that Casey is being offered limited immunity.
Posted by: Ali | August 27, 2008 at 11:48 PM
This person never dropped that baby off anywhere-she drove around with that body in the car until she ran out of money and options-her Dad was a homicide detective, and he bought this crap?
Her mom a nurse and destroyed evidence?
She was out partying-probably with that little girl's body in the car? Bet she's on her knees praying to whatever twisted concept of a God she may have that the alligators got that baby and they don't find her body wherever she dumped her-she'll lie till the bitter end and her parents probably knew and couldn't accept it the whole time.
Now they know-and this tramp won't have the decency to fess up, either.
Posted by: farmerfred | August 27, 2008 at 11:55 PM
the only question i would ask casey would be why'
Posted by: cathy | August 28, 2008 at 12:02 AM
This case amazes me. I got pregnant when I was 19 (almost 20). I couldn't BEAR to tell my parents, but I had to. They didn't FORCE me to keep the child. Even if they had tried that, at 20 years old? I think I would have told them to get over it. I didn't want to abort, so I gave the child up for adoption. I KNEW I was too young to become a good mother. I was in college. I knew there were plenty of people that desperately wanted a child, but couldn't have them. My parents completely agreed with my decision. They are saying that Casey's mom would not let her give Caylee up for adoption. I can almost believe that. It seems like Casey let her mom almost run her life.
So, I gave birth to my child, and then had to give him up. That day will FOREVER be the hardest day of my life. I was young, but I still knew that I was giving away a part of me. And I cried for weeks and weeks. I LOVED that baby, even though I didn't keep him. I now have a child of my own, with a husband I love. I still pine away for the child I gave up, yet I know it was the right thing to do. And as a mother, I just can't IMAGINE ever, ever, ever harming my child. EVER. The thought of my child going missing for 10 seconds scares me to death. Much less 31 days!
But what I CANNOT get over, is the fact that I do think Casey killed that poor baby. And I don't think she did it on purpose. I think she was SO spoiled, and SO selfish that she just either left her in the car, or she fell asleep at the house, and Caylee got out, and drowned in the pool. And really...both scenarios are AWFUL. But to NORMAL people, you would call the police, the paramedics, right away. I think she freaked out, because she was doing something SHADY while not paying attention to her child, and so she decided she had to deal with this on her own.
Either way...they WILL find out what happened. She has NO business being out of jail now, and I think those bail bondsmen realize this now.

why didnt the grandma take the baby away before this happend i bet she regrets it now god be with caylee.
Posted by: cathy | August 28, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Padilla is only getting what he asked for. I don't feel sorry for him in the least. But here is all the information we need. Why is Casey not back in jail as we speak? They have evidence enough to try her. The body would be an added bonus. No judge is going to go easy on her, and it's already going to be nearly iimpossible to find a jury to hear the case. If the investigators are waiting to find a body, they need to know they may never find it. This immunity deal, limited though it may be, is ridiculous. How do they expect her to tell the truth now? What kind of "spell" does she have on people to be given so may chances? It's like law enforcement, investigators, her family, the Padillas, all of them want her to be innocent to the point that they are willing to be lied to agan by this sociopath. Has anyone else seen the movie "Gone, Baby, Gone"? So much of the movie is disturbingly like this case, but it was made before Maddie McCann went missing. The main difference is that the baby was better off "missing" because she had found someone who loved her. I have suspicion that drugs are in play here, too, although I don't believe Casey sold her daughter.
Posted by: aj | August 28, 2008 at 12:25 AM
I live in Idaho. My husband and I have been following this case since it broke. I just read that the dogs were apparently correct,.... there had been a body in that car. A body of a little girl I am assuming. I can only say that, if I had the chance in a room with this woman "Casey", i would beat her to a pulp! I am a mother of one, step-mother of two. I love my children more than life itself. My daughter means more to me than ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!! This woman has lied and covered up a story that has all eyes on her, and for what? Notoriety? Media coverage? Just plain attention? There is NO excuse for what she has done, and yes, I am condemning her. Guilty, guilty, guilty! She has taken her beautiful daughter and done God knows what with her. There is a special place in Hell for this woman. May God bless the soul of Caylee, and may she rest in her heaven in peace. Casey, if you ever happen to read this, from mother to "mother" (I put that in quotes because.... you can be a "mom" by giving birth, but to be a real mother, .... well,.... you will NEVER know what that is like!) I hope you live a long, long life in prison, thinking about what you did to your beautiful daughter. And if, God willing, you are sentenced to death, I hope it takes as long for you to expire than it did for all of us, out here, praying and hoping that Caylee what brought home safely. You are pure evil.

I don't know if anyone has seen the myspace that Casey Anthony set up for Caylee supposedly after she went missing. But, was it after?
Look at this:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=122459029
The blog of the myspace shows the sign up date of the account. Why did Caylee set up the account before Casey went missing?
Posted by: Anonymous | August 28, 2008 at 01:26 AM
what a sick individual she is, whether she knows what happen to her child or whether she did something to that little angel, she has never shown any emotion or remorse and that is sad.... how do you carry a child for 9 months in you and feel every little move they make and hear their first heartbeat and finally hear their first cry... they are not asked to be brought into this world, but they are brought by here for a reason that only GOD knows... It is ashame that a sick individual as her was able to give birth to such a beautiful child... she is so disgusting in her attitude of not caring about her child, that i just don't understand... i had a very sick feeling about her when she was always worried about herself and not little caylee, i mean your child is missing and you're out partying? please grow up you selfish immature child... i know in my heart that little caylee is being taken care of by GOD, for we are all his children especailly the little ones that have no saying in how they are mistreated....
Posted by: lillie | August 28, 2008 at 01:59 AM
Everyone wants to belive their child, but the Anthony's know their daughter is a liar and as much as I don't want to believe it, I do believe she killed her child, whether an accident or not. I think she was P.O. because her mom wouldn't keep her baby while she shopped. She's a terrible person, sick or not and should not be able to be in normal society. Young children should be protected above all and her parents should admit that their daughter is capable of a terrible crime.
Posted by: Tanisha | August 28, 2008 at 02:01 AM
I don't understand why Tony Padilla does not revolk bond immediately. Casey should be taken back into custody, and interrogated by detectives with her lawyer present. I also cannot understand why they would even consider offering her partial immunity. Trying to get her to admit that Caylee died as the result of an accident??? Come on folks, what do you think we are, a bunch of idiots??? If Caylee died as the result of an accident, why wouldn't Casey contact the proper authorities for help, unless she was possibly on some kind of illegal substance or drunk, and was more afraid of being in trouble. This young woman obviously has no conscious. I have not seen her show the least bit of emotion considering her daughter is missing or worse, now believed to be dead. Detectives need to be issuing a warrent for her arrest on the charges of murder. If she didn't commit murder, then let her attorney prove it.

Our 13 year old was riding a go-cart and pulled into the path of a truck, by the grace of GOD he is alive. We have not left his side at the hosipital. I can not imagine if it were an accident or not how a person could just "go out and party" have sex with your boyfriend who thinks your baby is with her grandparents, etc, and have no emotion. I do not understand, from the moment of our 13 year old's accident we as a family took FULL responsiblity. We have said what if one thousand times and he is 13!!!!! This child was 2. God help you girl she was a helpless baby.
Posted by: praying in florida | August 28, 2008 at 07:18 AM
I have been watching this from the beginning. Poor beautiful little Caylee whereever she is. I have gone back and forth between the mother Casey killing her and the baby dying because of an accident. Casey is too self involved to bother with trying to find her or helping anyone else find her, or telling the truth about what happened. I think Leonard Padilla and his nephew should revoke the bail sooner than later. They made a big mistake as they now know, but get off the pot and do what is neccessary to get Casey back in jail where she belongs. I also think giving her access to the news is a mistake. She gets a chance to see what is going on and then gets to make her story revolving around that. If she was kept away not knowing they could hit her with surprises where she hasn't had a chance to make up another lie. I feel bad for the grand parents, but they believed her knowing that she told all those lies. Also there was a mention of Casey going to pick up Caylee after work and the babysitter was gone. Now I ask where was she working that particular day?
Posted by: jr | August 28, 2008 at 07:28 AM
I guess this puts an end to Casey's clubbing. As she said, with great power comes great consequences. Casey had great power over her daughter and killed her. But it is she who will have to suffer the great consequences. Everyone lies-no, but Casey lied abundantly from the start. Everyone dies- yes, and may it be the "death penalty" for you, Casey, but not by the needle, but by an inmate's hand. You ruined alot of reputations of those who had no involvement in your sinister crime but just that they were in your life. I am hoping that you get life in prison and that you will be used and abused by your new family of inmates. The death penalty is too merciful though after death you will wish a millstone had been wrapped around your neck and you were tossed into the deepest sea. May the truth come out about Caylee's whereabouts even if her precious body is irretrievable. There needs to be closure for everyone whose heart has been touched by this story.
Posted by: Sherry C. | August 28, 2008 at 07:45 AM
This case is so close to my heart and makes me so sad. There is so much that I don't understand and can't quite comprehend. I have a daughter who gave birth to a beautiful little angel 3 years ago when she was 17. My daughter lived with me, at that time, and pretty much left me to care for the baby. She would get in with friends and go out and party and, there were times, she would get mad at me and threaten to run off and take the baby. I would always tell her that she could get mad and run off but, until she got her act together, the baby was staying. It was very hard for me to say that to my own daughter but, I knew my daughter was old enough to make her own choices and would have to accept the consequences of those choices. The baby was not able to make choices for herself and needed someone to love and protect her. My husband and I adopted the baby 2 years ago. It has been a rough road at times but I don't regret a thing. My daughter has since moved out, is working on becoming an independent young woman and we still have a loving relationship with her and, she knows that the baby has a secure and stable life and is loved and adored by my husband and myself.

I use to think that people that had children and just dumped them off on people to raise were sorry individuals that didn't have a heart. But this case and one more that's local to me makes me have a whole new perspective on that. I would rather see someone give their children to a good home in or outside the family than do this. Casey Anthony and Susan Smith are one in the same. Both of them put only their selfs first.That's not what a mother does. A mother sacrifices for her children. My thoughts and prayers do go out to the Anthony and Smith families and anyone who has ever lost a child.
Posted by: Cindy | August 28, 2008 at 08:56 AM
I want to know why shw was never held accountable for her actions like stealing, lying and why didn't she have a job?? I think her parents enabled her behavior which unfortunately is a very sever mental disease. I feel for the Grandparents and I hope God is with them, but they have to buck up and kick this girl in the pants and get her to tell them what happened to Caylee. Casey put a lot of people through monthes of hell. She will live a life of hell and also her eterinty. What comes around goes around. As for her family you know where she needs to be in prison forever until it is time for her to return to hell. So very Sad!!!
Posted by: Sherry | August 28, 2008 at 09:08 AM
Well, to no one's surprise, there had been a decomposing body in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car -- actually, her mother Cindy Anthony's car. At what point will Cindy and George Anthony be considered accomplices in this case? Cindy Anthony destroyed evidence when she washed Casey's clothes because they smelled like the odor in the trunk. My guess is, she knew exactly what she was doing and what the smell was. She had already lost a granddaughter and now was on the verge of losing a daughter too. The tests on the hair in the trunk will reveal whether Caylee was alive or dead in the trunk, and who the father was. My guess again, the name of the child was "Cay - Lee", and the father was Lee Anthony, Casey's brother. This is one messed up family.

-Kidnapping usually comes with demands.
- Missing children usually have all out grid searches.
- Forensic evidence usually indicates foul play.
- Grandpa was a former cop and knows that time is crucial, yet he sat back and let others do the work. Usually those in law enforcement never leave it.
- Does anyone know if she held a paying job in the last 2 years?
- What evidence is needed to revoke her bail and get her back in jail waiting her execution?
- Her lawyer is amazingly sick, not allowing her to reveal anything and keeping her hours in his office. What is she doing for him???
Posted by: Jean | August 28, 2008 at 09:23 AM
The reason why Casey is being offered limited immunity is simple, the sheriffs department and local PD want to recover the body so it can be examined.
If Caylee did die due to an accident then the charges would be less against Casey. However if they were to find that Caylee was murdered of course the charges would be more severe and could even lead to the death penalty.
By Casey not fessing up, of course the prosecution is going to push for murder charges. Casey is not talking because she knows if they do recover the body and find he dither was murdered, she faces the death penalty. By not talking she is taking the gamble that accidental death would be the lesser charge. HOWEVER if Casey doesn't talk at all, a jury is going to get her on murder. She loses either way.
If she starts talking today and claims "accidental death" the local authorities are still going to push for "where is the body"? If she plays dumb to that.. her days are numbered.

SO MANY HAVE COME UP WITH THERE OWN THEORY. ONE CASEY LEFT HER DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND DIED FROM THE HEAT, ANOTHER THE CHILD DRAWNED IN THE POOL. I EVEN THOUGHT OF THE POSSIBILTY THAT CASEY ACCIDENTLY RAN POOR LITTLE CAYLEE OVER WITH HER CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. WE ALL WANT TO THINK IT WAS AN ACCIDENT BUT THE WAY CASEY IS ACTING THIS UNFORTANTLY WAS NO ACCIDENT. I PRAY TO GOD SOMETHING WILL COME OVER CASEY AND MAKE HER ACT LIKE SOMEWHAT OF A HUMAN BEING AND FESS UP. WE ALL WANT TO KNOW "WHERE IS CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY"
Posted by: CORALD | August 28, 2008 at 09:42 AM
My heart broke yesterday when I heard the news about Caylee most likely being dead. I agree with everyone that has posted here but I honestly don't believe the grandparents -- Casey's parents -- had anything to do with this. Their only (and it's huge) error was to allow this daughter of their's to get away with all that she has. They should have put a stop to her crap years ago. She's stolen from them, big time, and from friends. If you read any of the court documents that were released, you'll see that she's taken routing numbers off of her friends checking accounts and forged checks. She totally exhausted one friend's bank account and stole $400 in cash from her that she had saved for spending money on an upcoming trip. She even did that with the routing numbers from a check her own grandmother gave her as a birthday gift -- and then managed to drain her bank account as well. I wish Casey's parents had tried harder to take custody of little Caylee a couple of years ago. I just don't know what to think of Casey -- none of the medical terms quite fit. I've never seen or heard of anyone quite like her!
Posted by: Elly | August 28, 2008 at 09:48 AM
I am so saddened today by the recent news of the case. I have been watching it from day one & can't stand to see Casey's face anymore, it makes me sick to think she has made a fool of everyone, her family, the police, her laywer, etc. Some people cannot even have children & would give anything to be able to do so. I can't watch the pic's of little innocent beautiful Caylee either.
I don't think Leonard or his nephew are too smart or all there upstairs either. They only wanted to make a name for themselves, promote his upcoming show, etc. They should have stayed out of it & let police do their jobs, with all their experience you would think they would have known she was not going to speak to anyone, especially to him. Her lawyer is advising her not to anyways I'm sure.
I feel so bad for the parents, knowing that Casey is probably a psychopath & has alot fo mental issues. I still want to know why she called so many times that day to her family, but could not reach anyone, if she had, maybe the child might be alive today.
I am sick & tired of people saying this may have been an accident, I don't buy it. If it were you would call 911, a friend, neighbor, someone to help, not cover it up. If someone else is responsible for the murder, she would have already spoken up & told the truth.
The truth is she is just a spoiled little brat, her parents gave her everyhing in life & when she got pregnant by mistake, that was just a burden in her life, preventing her from parting, having fun, having to think of someone else besides herself.
Don't forget FL has the death penalty & they do not fool around with these cases, especially people killing their children. I'm not saying for certain she did it, but why did she borrow a shovel, she really doesn't seem like the Martha Stewart/ home maker, gardner type. ;(;(

My question for the authorities is this: You've given her limited immunity and have asked her to come in and give a statement. How can you believe anything she says? From reading the 400+ pages of police transcripts, you know that nothing she has told you nor anything she's told her friends for years has been the truth. She does nothing but lie and at this point, I feel she really believes her lies. Why the immunity?

I hate this but I knew it. Casey's Zany the Nanny was the trunk of the car. She needs to be put to death. Such a beautiful little girl to have suffered this fate. Makes me sick!!!!

I just think it's time Casey steps up to the plate now. She is clearly a liar, therefore, no one can trust anything she says now. She just needs to face the music and admit to what she has done.
I have a hard time believing this was an accident, although I cannot be 100% sure, because I have never been in this situation before.. but I am pretty sure that if I accidently killed my child I would have a hard time letting her beautiful self rot in the trunk of my car, then burry her and be shown smiling, and giving lapdances to stranger in the club sipping on alcohol joining a hottest body contest. IF I accidently killed my child, and was scared to turn myself in... I'd probably be so depressed I'd be in bed, crying all the time, even conemplate taking my own life.
I guess everyone is different though...
Poor Caylee :-( sad she born to an aweful aweful psychopath.

I used to have a friend who lied so much she believed her own lies. Casey Anthony reminds me of this friend. Of course, my friend dropped out of school and became a crack head who has children that she leaves by themselves so she can get high, so I've heard. It's been a while since I spoke to her. I think she thrives of the attention she gets from lying, but eventually, I think Miss Casey Anthony will have to have some kind of crutch to deal with the pressure she will likely receive. If she thought her child was going to stifle her social life, imagine what life in prison will do.

I wonder if cadaver dogs can pick up a scent this late. Casey has a Bella Vita tattoo and I'm wondering if that may be a clue to where she put Caylee's body. If there are any places within those cell phone pings named Bella Vita then the dogs could check out the dumpsters and area. Just a half educated thought here.
