Bombshell News in Caylee Anthony Case
October 09, 2008
There have been several new developments in the case of Casey Anthony and her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.
According to a source close to the investigation, prosecutors now have enough forensic evidence to ask a grand jury to indict Anthony for her daughter's murder. That evidence allegedly proves that Caylee's body was in the trunk of the car Casey Anthony was driving and at one point in the backyard of the Anthony family home.
Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, have voluntarily provided investigators with DNA samples, which are currently being compared to hairs found in the trunk of the car. Anthony's brother, Lee Anthony, initially refused to provide investigators with a sample; however he later submitted to that request when investigators served him with a search warrant.
According to WFTV.com, George Anthony has been called to testify against his daughter before the grand jury. It remains unclear if Cindy and Lee will also be called to testify. In addition to family members, prosecutors will also present testimony from an FBI profiler, who is expected to offer a detailed analysis Anthony's psychological makeup.
Investigators are convinced that Caylee was murdered on or about June 17. Cell phone records show that from June 16 to June 18, Anthony mostly went about her normal routine - traveling to and from her parents and boyfriend's house - however, pings have also placed her near Blanchard Park and the Econ Trail, an isolated area south of Lake Underhill. Both those areas were searched by myself and Texas EquuSearch; however given the high waters and thick underbrush it is possible that evidence could have gone overlooked.
The grand jury is expected to issue a ruling in the case by the end of the day Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, is scheduled to appear before Judge Stan Strickland tomorrow, to rule on a motion Baez filed last week, requesting that Strickland lighten up on Anthony's home confinement restrictions. According to the motion, Anthony wants to get involved in the search for a "living" Caylee Anthony. Legal analysts predict that motion will be denied.
Check back with Investigation Discovery for the latest on this developing story.

Full Coverage : Casey Anthony Case

















I read the WFTV article. (As of right now it's the top link on the TV channel's website). Apparently having a grand jury most likely means that Casey will be tried for murder. The DA wouldn't bother going in front of a grand jury unless the evidence was solid.
Interesting that George Anthony is willing to go against Casey at the grand jury while Cindy is still in firm denial and Lee has been resistant to help. Sadly I think all this may end up in a divorce for this couple.
A dead baby girl, a split family, thousands of dollars spent on the search, and a neighborhood disrupted...Casey's destructive selfishness makes me shudder.

Please pay very close attention to Heather's post on Sept.7. I just found your site tonight and found Heather's post. 3 weeks ago I also had a dream...one in which I heard an audible voice say "Caylee is in a drainage ditch near her mother's home." I have not even been following this case, but instinctively knew which "Caylee" it was referring to. I have never had a dream like this before. I think Heather is on to something....please pursue it!!

i still think lee may be caylee father...
or involved in some other way. He's acting as guilty as casey.
Why do plple think saying she got ridof caylee's body on june 17 18 or 19 ?
in order for the car to smell like that, caylee body needed to be there for more than 2 days

Thankfully things are moving forward. I hope while things are in this transition that they find Caylee's body so she can be laid to rest properly.

I am not suprised that George has been asked to testify. He has been the family member that has been the most honest about everything, including how Casey was upset because he actually tried to see whether or not the gas cans were in her trunk and chasing her down several busy streets when his grandaugter had been absent for so long. He has always been forthcoming. I think he realizes that his wife is in "denial mode" and his son is just confused as to how to proceed. George can't say that his daughter is probably guilty or else that will be the end of his involvement with this family. Very sad but true.
Posted by: Lexi | October 09, 2008 at 10:55 PM
I have thought Lee was the father from the beginning. I believe it even more now that he is not cooperating with authorities with his DNA. If you listen to his interview with police, he thinks pretty highly of himself and sounds crazy like Casey...in a little different sort of way. Plus...Cay = Casey and Lee = Lee put that together and you get Caylee.
I pray for this little girl, what an Angel. Please, please, please, please find the body. I do think that Lee probably moved it from where Casey left it. God Bless you Precious Caylee, God Bless you.

I agree that George appears to be the most forthcoming and reality-based family member. After the Greta VanSusteren interview, I had very little faith in Mr. Anthony - his description of "the last time he saw Caylee," supposedly on the 16th of June, seemed rehearsed, odd and far too detailed. I also got the feeling that Cindy was coercing him to tell that story.
However, after reading his police statement and knowing that law enforcement talks to witnesses prior to taking their formal, taped interview, I am wondering if he is actually working undercover for the police. He said he had suspected for two years that Casey has not been working. He knows that if he officially and publicly disagrees with Cindy or Casey, he will no longer be part of the family and will have no access to family information. I wonder if he has knowledge of the missing child.
I believe he really loved his granddaughter and just wants to find her and close this chapter of his life. I think he will be honest with law enforcement because he wants to be able to work after this is over. He'll need to work because it's clear that he will probably have no wife, no family and no money.
I sure hope Tim Miller will find the child's body quickly. That would make the case much more compelling.

Sally,
I believe the consensus is that Caylee was MURDERED on the 16-17th - not that her body was dumped or disposed of on one of those dates. Most reports indicate that law enforcement believes that she was murdered on one of those two days and then her body remained in Casey's trunk until the 27th or so. That would be more than enough time for anything dead to smell awful.
Posted by: Waiting on Forensics | October 10, 2008 at 05:07 AM
Casey is extrememly dangerous. Guilty or not, she has showed no signs of being distraut over her missing daughter. She must have major mental health problems and will more than likely end up in a mental care institution for the remainder of her life. Clubbing, shopping and partying shortly after your daughter goes missing? She is very sick. Why does she want to search now and not earlier? Perhaps the child was 'taken' until she repays drug money debts or the like, seeing she is a thief. She obviously did care love or care about her daughter at all. Animals do better than that. Casey, is you read this at all - your days are numbered my girl. Hope you enjoy jail life. Good luck while you're in there!
Posted by: Debi | October 10, 2008 at 07:09 AM
Maybe Lee, as her child's father, helped Casey do whatever she did after the child was dead.
Maybe that's why he refuses to take a lie detector test and to give a DNA sample.
Makes sense to me.
Posted by: fielding | October 10, 2008 at 10:31 AM
Regarding Sally's query above, it has been surmised that Caylee died on or about June 16 or 17, was subsequently buried in the backyard, then transported many days later to another location. In that time, around the 23rd, she backed her car up to the garage and borrowed the neighbors shovel...this would be when she removed Caylee from the backyard and placed her in the car, I believe around the 23rd. How long that sweet baby's body was in that car could have been for many days between the 17th and the 27th of June, when she abandoned her car at the Amscot.
Posted by: vicky | October 10, 2008 at 10:58 AM
If Lee has nothing to hide then he should simply submit to a DNA test in order to clear his name and show CO-OPERATION in trying to help the investigation of this heinous,despicable act.By Lee not co-operating he is just drawing more question of guilt and his probable involvement.Lee,by not complying and cooperating with the parties involved you are part of the problem and not the solution.This crime will ultimately be resolved and any complicity on your part will be taken into consideration.LEE DO "THE RIGHT THING" N O W
Posted by: BILL | October 10, 2008 at 01:41 PM
Casey wants to search for the "living" Caylee, and that's the reason she needs her house restrictions lifted? How much does anyone want to bet that "searching" entails partying and nothing else? I'm waiting for her to get knocked up again ASAP, so that she can get another sympathy vote from... well, her lawyer I guess. Maybe a jury. Hey Casey! Maybe looking for your daughter would've been a good idea, yanno, sometime before she'd been missing for 31 days?
While I'm glad she'll be prosecuted (hopefully) my heart sinks because she'll love that, too. Being on TV, being the center of attention, being on the stand, being the one everyone wants to talk to. *sigh* Even if she is convicted, this no-trick pony won't go away like she should. How come the ones we WANT to vanish without a trace never do?

I think the theory that Casey's brother, Lee, is the father of Caylee is not based on any kind of fact or reality, and it's making you folks look kind of silly. Sorry to sound so insulting, but the case is weird enough without floating bizarre ideas about incest. Given her apparent promiscuity the father is much more likely to be the "one night stand" or "high school friend" Casey has variously attributed.
Posted by: Ardra | October 10, 2008 at 05:31 PM
Shortly after the hearing ended, the Anthony family released the following statement: "Judge Strickland's decision today to grant access to all of the tips regarding Caylee's sightings is a victory for Caylee Marie. This is the first step in bringing Caylee home safely."
http://www.wftv.com/news/17684992/detail.html
How are these tips going to help the Anthonys do what law enforcement couldn't? Are the Anthonys optimistic? Delusional?
Posted by: Loretta | October 10, 2008 at 05:47 PM
im shocked that the grandparents are still in denial iam hoping that when they come to their senses they can get through to casey, at least they would be able to offer their grand daughter a decent burial, and start the healing process
that the public so needs right now, protecting casey is not helping anyone, and its obvious that is how she has learned to lie so much, surely they dont believe her, its just learned behaviour at this point.
Posted by: suzanne | October 10, 2008 at 05:58 PM
I'm wondering if the authorities DID release Casey to do her own 'secret' search, if she would return to the scene of the crime like so many other criminals do? - Many times, they need to satisfy their own 'curiosity' - She might lead them right to the body !!
Posted by: Joe | October 10, 2008 at 05:59 PM
David thanks for your daily updates.
Like John I also had a dream that Casey placed Caylee in a large drain pipe made of metal or under a small bridge- it was near water but on land and dry.
Posted by: Z | October 10, 2008 at 06:31 PM
I agree that Caylee has been deceased since the 16th/17th. The fact is that George is off work Fridays and Saturdays and would have noticed the smell if he was in the yard. I think she would have moved the body before Friday from fear that George may find it while he was off.
Posted by: Bonnie | October 10, 2008 at 07:41 PM
To everyone here, thank you. I am so glad everyone is very tenacious. Don't ever, ever let Casey get away with this. No matter what.
Posted by: J | October 10, 2008 at 10:33 PM
What gets to me is that not one of them will agree to take a lie detector test. I don't understand this at all. Why can't law enforcement force them to take one ? They have a granddaughter and niece that is missing ! For God's sake pepole, why wouldn't you want to take it ? If for no other reason than to clear your names. Another unsloved mystery in this awful situtation.
Posted by: deb | October 10, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I agree that Lee could be Caylee's father...the thought hit me like a ton of bricks when all of the evidence came together one night, especially when Casey refused a visit from him on August 8th, the day before Caylee's 3rd birthday. I wonder if it's possible that Cindy knows the parentage of little Caylee and that is why she changed her story and started putting the blame on Mr. Grund and started covering for Casey, including washing the clothing that was in the trunk of the car...and don't forget the wierd laughter that came from Lee when he talked about the horrible smell in the trunk of his sister's car.
This whole case just gets stranger.
Posted by: Susan | October 11, 2008 at 02:06 AM
casey dosent want caylee found if shes found then the healing starts and her family will finaly get colsure she wants them to suffer if shes not found they will always be looking and suffering its a way to get back at cindy
Posted by: charlotte mann | October 11, 2008 at 02:16 AM
Rhonda M. ~ I wholeheartedly agree with you. The very idea that Casey's brother Lee is Caylee's father has been conjured up by overactive imaginations IMO. That Lee refused to take a lie detector test or objected to submitting his DNA does not make him the father. "Caylee" may be a name Casey liked...it's a big stretch to believe
her brother's name has any connection. If by chance it does, Casey may have decided to honor the brother she loves.
Posted by: Joanne | October 11, 2008 at 02:55 AM
I really believe there was no babysitter. The Zanny was the zannex, how insane is that. then i think she googled anyone with the name zanny online in her area and found zanaida gonzalez. No one knew the baby sitters entire name till now it was always zanny the nanny. its not hard to follow anyone once u find their address online so i think casey found zanaids name online and got her address and followed her, followed her to the sawgrass apts that day and then lied about identifying her because she knows her baby isnt with her and she really has no idea who this woman is and the woman does not know her.
Her father i believe has had enuff of all the women in his home. He will do what has to be done to find his grandaughter he seems the only sincere one in all this.
Yes i believe lee maybe moved the body thats why casey can repeat over and over she has no idea where caylee is because lee knows and casey dosent.
I hope at the end this woman goes to jail for what she has done and i hpe any family members involved will go to jail also.
I think the anthonys have enabled their daughter to get away with murder.....

my thanks goes out to the millions of people this story has touched their hearts. . it seems this baby has affected all our lives. it is amazing how many out there want her found & brought home & laid to rest in peace . poor baby never had a chance with this monster for a mother. i am soooo glad finally things are moving to send casey to jail where she belongs. once there she won't be liked by the folks as they do not like baby killers. . i think the whole family is hiding the truth . they know more than they have admitted. casey should be in jail insted of home where she can spend hours on a secret cell phone & the computer.. she is a sick puppy.. i know a lot of people that have pets & would search till they found that pet if it was missing.. they would not give up. she threw poor caylee away. . i will be glad to see justice done & if lee has knowledge of what happened to caylee i hope he also goes to jail.. hopefully tim miller & his group will find caylee & bring her home.. thank god for tim & people like him that care for others.

Of course this is just crazy speculation, but I still think that the items that your search group recovered may be linked to this case.
Fingerprints on the ammonia and bleach containers? Trace evidence on those containers from Caylee or Casey?
If Casey has some intelligence, which I gather may be the case, she would dispose of incriminating evidence in a couple of different locales hoping that elements wouldn't be discovered together.
Perhaps there was trace evidence (ie hair) on found items (from previous searches such as yours, or inside of the trunk), from a living individual (no banding in the hair shaft: but with matching mitochondrial DNA?), and they want to rule out Casey's immediate family participating in the act of disposal .

I BELIEVE HER LAWYER JOSE BAEZ HAS A MORE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ANTHONY AT HIS OFFICE 8 HRS A DAY TOGETHER & ANTHONY'S HISTORY OF HABITUAL SEX/PARTNERS? ALSO I'VE LOST A CHILD (NATURALLY),IT'S A SHOCK SO I BELIEVE HER SHOPING IS AN OUTLET TO "TAKE HER MIND OFF THE CHILDS DEATH" AND ALSO AN OUTCRY TO GET CAUGHT FOR SOMETHING OR ANYTHING. SHE HAD TO KNOW SHE WOULD GET CAUGHT FOR THEFT.SHE HERSELF SAID TO LEE SHE WAS A BAD MOM,SISTER & DAUGHTER.I THOUGHT FROM THE START SHE SNAPED ON THE CHILD AND WAS AFRAID TO CALL FOR HELP.HER MOM CINDY HAD TO LEARN THE CHILD IS DEAD & THEN THE MOM BEGAN TO NOT TALK TO MEDIA ANYMORE ONCE SHE LEARNED FROM HER DAUGHTER.THEY NO LONGER WANTED MEDIAS HELP REALLY.
Posted by: BARBIE | October 11, 2008 at 01:27 PM
Can we sign up to be on the jury anywhere? Maybe the Judge will rule to allow people to sign up voluntarily to be on the jury. (kidding...) I would love to be on that jury panel! I will be really disappointed if they sympathize with her in any way...and if she gets off on this I will feel nervous that a murderer is out free and furious that she got away with it simply by lying. What will that show for our justice system...
Posted by: Ashlee | October 11, 2008 at 01:34 PM
I am wondering how other people think little caylee died. Iam wondering if it was an accident and she(mom) is just covering it up or if she intentionally murdered cayylee so she could have a better social life.
Posted by: ria | October 11, 2008 at 01:49 PM
If you really think about it from the Anthony's perspective, they HAD to know something was terribly wrong. If I knew my daughter wasn't all together right and then she told me that she didn't know where her daughter was AND her car smelled like a dead body-------the first thing I would think of would be the child was dead. You know that has to be the case here. Plus, ever since the whole shovel story evolved, I have always felt that Caylee was in the yard, then moved. The shovel neighbor saw Casey back her car into the garage. The investigators found hair, dirt and bodily fluid in the trunk. She moved her from the yard to another location. That's my guy feeling.
Posted by: pak31 | October 11, 2008 at 10:06 PM
does everybody have to use the word 'bombshell' ??? The media go-to word for this case is bombshell. Everything is bombshell.
Casey gets out of jail -bombshell!
Casey goes back to jail -bombshell!
Casey jail phone conversations released -bombshell!
Casey interrogation tapes released -bombshell!
Casey on camera writing stolen checks -bombshell!
George Anthony in physical altercation with protester -bombshell!
Casey Anthony officially considered suspect -bombshell!
Prosecution going to Grand Jury seeking homicide charges -bombshell!!!
etc...
^^^attention everybody, nothing about any of this is 'bombshell' worthy. What are we in Vietnam? Should I grab an M-16? The only thing in this case that you could justify using the word 'bombshell' for is if they actually found the missing person in this case -Caylee Anthony! -now that would be 'bombshell' worthy!
Seriously, let's get original here people. Why does the media copy each other? -even with the exact same catch-words? I am disappointed in Mr. Lohr, surely you are more independent and creative than that. I do like reading your coverage though. Just lose the generic and repetitive cliche catch-words.
I will think of a list of words to substitute for 'bombshell' if need be, that way we all don't sound like Nancy Grace clones.

For goodness sake...though I am not a college graduate, yet, I have always been an outcast because I think logically, am not sensational, and like to be objective in my opinions, which is what I like to think most of our leaders are like. This site of David Lohr's was a godsend...to be able to get away from all of that...until I read things like Lee or the grandfather is the father of Caylee (c'mon people you are NOT that stupid are you?). LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL......at the illiteracy, or general lack of an average I.Q. here. Now, I know the average I.Q. is around 90. Most of our populus, including most leaders have this...so that is good, but when you say ridiculous things about the parentage, you are really, well, looking pretty stupid. Even a mentally challenged person is able to discern that in this case the father has nothing to do with the murder of the daughter. Even our talented investigators don't care WHO the father is unless there is a reason (and there are none in this case) to believe there is a link to the MOTIVE there.
1. WHOEVER THE FATHER IS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CASE, SO WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE BRINGING THAT UP? RHETORICAL QUESTION. SINCE I NEVER ASK A QUESTION I ALREADY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO, I'LL TELL YOU WHY: YOU LIKE ATTENTION AND ARE A JONES.
Stop thinking about something that sounds good, because, well, it only sounds interesting to people who like exciting stories (movies, etc.) and don't care about the point or the truth. That's kind of like sensationalism (sounding so grandiose as to be interesting) and I realize you don't know this. Let's focus on the reasons for the missing child. You know, motive....motive...not what sounds good or gets ratings...Stay ON THE SUBJECT. Can you imagine having 12 jurors in YOUR trial for murder (whether or not you did it) that didn't listen to the FACTS of the evidence and personalities involved and just wanted to make things up that got attention (go study psychopathy honey pies...that's the mental illness I just referred to, you little Casey Anthony wanna be's). Nuff said....sorry but this is getting ridiculous...

I agree with the guy that said he had a dream about where Caylee is. I also had a dream she is by a cement water way . I saw major hotels in my dreams by a tunnel. She was laying on the bank next to a tunnel cement. There might be some clues where she is. She is off a major highway. I saw a Hotel sign in my dreams.

Gramma x 6 Lee being the father might not be motive to kill Caylee but it is motive for all the Anthonys to lie about Casey killing her now isnt it.In their minds cindy george Lee its bad enough They know Caylee is dead and nothing can bring her back they sure dont need people finding out their own son is the father.Explain why Lee wont give DNA or take a polygraph.What does he have to hide then.He should have nothing to hide.Casey probably threatened them she would tell if they said anything about her killing Caylee

A friend and I both have had dreams about Caylee Anthony being in some type of drainage ditch near a small bridge with the letters M and a B nearby...So we started researching and looked at the aerial images at http://www.helpfindthemissing.org
We found Kraft Azalea Park in Winter Park, Florida...just off Mayfield Avenue and Ala(BAMA) Drive...And in looking at the pictures of the park, we saw a small walkway bridge and a waterway between Lake Maitland and Lake Osceola...
It has been said on television that Casey always tells a little bit of truth in what she is saying…and taking this into consideration…when Casey keeps menioning the Jay Banchard Park…could she possibly be talking about another Park?…
And then we have heard Casey say earlier on that Caylee was not far…
And then we hear on television that she is staying with Tony Lazzaro those last days…Tony lives in Winter Park…and if you look just beyond where he lives, you will see Kraft Azalea Park…and there is a Waterway between Lake Maitland and Lake Osceola…this could be a place to put a small child’s body without digging a hole…

To Gramma X Six and Other Like-minded Posters:
The suggestion that Casey's brother Lee is Caylee's father smacks of sensationalism. How juicy! But, there is no evidence which points to that.
Caylee's looks resemble Lee's? I admit I haven't noticed that, but it's not unusual for a child to resemble another family member. Lee refused to volunteer his DNA or take a polygraph? His reason for refusal is unknown, yet it doesn't tell us he is Caylee's father.
Hopefully, all the truth will come out. The most important concern is that this baby girl was sacrificed at the hands of her mother, IMO.
Posted by: Joanne | October 13, 2008 at 03:08 AM
Please people get real!!!!!!!!!! If you had truly read or listened to the interviews you could not possibly think the Anothony's, aside from Casey, had ANYTHING to do with Caylee's disappearance. Cindy's hysterical 911 calls, she KNOWS something is wrong, didn't she say so? SHE DID. Lee Anthony had a ZERO tolerence for Casey's excuses, in his interview, and the recorded first call from jail. Initially I know they all wanted to believe Casey's story, for CAYLEE'S sake not Casey's. It is all very apparent in all the information out there if you do not skip over any of it and just be spoon fed by Nancy Grace what brings her in the dollars. Just the facts Ma'am. Why not a petition to prevent sensationalism, trying to be passed off as journalism, from profiting on a little girl's death? Presenting the facts yes, allowing all the speculation? No. As far as the lie detector exams, Lee was worried the stress they all were under may give a false positive results. A thing of the past, but none the less the mindset of Americans still. The laughter about the smell? A mindboggling ridiculous thing in his world. Ever hear of nervous laughter? Lee Anthony provided the police with a tremndous amount of information discovered in his own investigation. The police department is grateful for his saving them legwork. I no longer have any doubt that Caylee is deceased, and that Casey deliberately did something to cause her daughter's death. Directly or indirectly she did something. That "Zanny" thing. Could have been Zanax, and the child left in the car or another area to free up Casey. I thought Casey looked and acted very strange for a two-year old, clinging to an elderly man she hardly ever saw. I think she was clinging to security. Her little eyes are so sad. I have never heard a word about Caylee ever mentioning Zanny. She supposedly talked quite well, if the Caylee never,ever mentioned "Zanny" she absolutely did not exist. I know who my granddaughters babysitters are through my granddaughters chatter.
Posted by: Deborah | October 13, 2008 at 04:10 AM
I have been watching the case on CNN and reading the news articles online and I pray that Caylee is alive somewhere and they find her, even though all the evidence points in another direction. I believe that Casey is a very sick and twisted woman with a mental illness and needs treatment if her daughter is found dead. People like that make me sick. If she didnt want Caylee she should have given her to someone that would love her and take care of her instead of what they say happened. There are plenty of people that cant have kids that would have loved to raise that precious little angel sent from God as a gift. I hope they find something soon.
Posted by: Misty | October 14, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Casey is living in another world. She needs to come clean and tell the truth. Her mother knows what happened to her
granddaughter and refuses to believe it.
I just pray for the little girl and hope she is found and
this can be put to rest. The mother and the grandmother are
both unbalanced, and I wonder how Casey was brought up, it almost seems like the parents were afraid of her, she must have always been evil.
Posted by: June | October 14, 2008 at 01:10 PM
Here's my theory. Maybe Lee helped her dispose of the body and has known all along? I don't believe he's the father. Casey's an eerily smart girl, but she may have needed help to dispose of the body. If the body had have been moved around for a period of eleven days as it's been alleged through various blogs, decomposition (accelerated by the Florida heat), would have caused the body to bloat and become 'mushy'. It wouldn't have been that easy to move around after a few days. Besides maybe Lee is the only person she thinks she can trust? I just hope that little girl gets the dignity owed to her for a proper burial and that her mother, Casey Anthony and anyone else involved gets what they deserve.

ok. I have been following this case from the get go. However I did not research every little aspect of it in great detail. I think anybody with a brain can figure out that Caylee is dead. If you read the blog that Casey posted on myspace about Caylee being missing.....it screams that she is mentally ill, and even mentions how she kept lying and stealing from her mother, and the fact that she was trying to hurt her in some way with the child. The fact that the car smell like a dead body seals the deal. Now oviously science and evidence add up that Caylee's DNA was in the car and was decomposed. The missing gas cans? and borrowing a shovel from the neighbor? If you killed your child by accident, you would go thru all this drama. Casey would have came clean a long time ago. I feel this was no accident. She killed her daughter to get rid of the responsibilty of her, get back at her mother for whatever reason, and thought she could pull it off. She probably drugged the child, and did not actually hurt the child in any other way prior to her death. Once she was dead she probably put it in the back of the car. Then I think she tried to bury her in the back yard, but decided that was too close to home...literally. She then put the child back in the car and drove around freaking out for a few days with the body. She probably burned the body in some remote area and then ditched the ashes in a mangrove tree base, where the roots would hide any evidence. Who knows how far she actually drove, but i guess it would be scary to drive too far with a dead body in the car, when she must have been freaked out, and driving eratic. If you really think of it.....a child's body would probably burn quickly leaving no big chuncks of bones...due to it being fragile and young. Bones get stronger as a child lives. At 2 years old Caylee's bones would still be small and fragile. Casey probably burned her clothes that she was wearing, any materials she used, and then ditched those in garbage dumpsters in an industrial area or warehouse district. And not reporting your child missing for a month? That spells murder!!! I have a five year old. If my five year old was truely "missing", i would be contacting the news and media, going to police immediatly. I would be going nuts trying to find my child. I would have search and rescue teams looking for her, dogs, scuba divers, teams of people! I would not stop until i found my child! I would call the highway patrol, and toll booths to look out for my child, or strange people driving on the highway. This situation is truely sad. Casey deserves life in prison. She doesn't deserve the luxury of being put to death....she should rot in jail till she dies.....i think the death penalty is wrong and should be ruled out. How can we kill killers for killing? They should have to spend their life in jail and die there! Being put to death is an escape for the person. That's just my opinion. I'm sorry for describing my opinion of what may have happen to Caylee is such great detail. This is just my thoughts on all this. I want the little girl found....she deserves a proper burial. All of the world is involved now with this little girl. Our hearts go out to her. It's like you want to stand up for her since she was too small to do it for herself. I hope God leads someone to find her soon.

I'm guessing that if Caylee's body is NEVER found, it's because Casey cremated her and poured her ashes into a river.

Ok, I've been following this case since it aired, read all the documents, seen all the interviews, etc. Here is my theory.. along with questions that i would like the police to answer. First of all, Casey was home morning of June 16th, mom didn't see them cause she went off to work and they were still in bed. FACT! Father saw caylee and casey leave the house around 1:30 with back packs on, and casey told father she wouldn't be home all night. FACT! Cell phone records released start from the 17th of June. FACT! Question, they need to zero in on the 16th pings only! Nobody has had contact with her on this day, PERIOD. No family, no friends. The 16th is the answer.. reason the 17th casey returned home, after parents were gone around 2:30, did not see anyone again. At 4pm, ping comes in around family home of lee vista and south goldenrod. Around 5:20pm ping comes in at blanchard park/state rd 50 and goldenrod. Then between 5:23 adn 8:23 no calls in or out, and no texts. WHY? Pings came in around boyfriends house. But, boyfriend and friends did not see Casey from the 16th to the 19th. Come on cops, bring me down there.. I will solve this.. Did they do a hand anaylisis on the sawgrass apts. card? That card was filled out the 17th, and you know theres no Zenaida.
Where did she buy the pizza from? Is there surveillance? Was the pizza in a box? Wheres the video from Amscot Fin. where she left the car? We didn't see that come out yet? Where in the world was Casey on the 16th, from the time she left her parents house? Where are the pings for the 16th? She wasn't seen by anyone AT ALL this day! Theory!! She left the 16th with Caylee and there backpacks, to make it look like they were staying overnight at a friends, normal! Not! She left and went who knows where, that day isn't coming out. I think she went to a remote area, gave the chlrofoam, and left this child in the trunk, the whole time till she died. The 17th she was probably already dead, and Casey got beside herself and didn't know what to do. So she drove around to all these places to either try to put caylee somewhere or get her head straight. Then between 5:23 and 8:23 on the 17th, she drove her probably near Winter Park (boyfriends house), and decided this was not a good idea. So she went to Sawgrass to get an apt, in nannys name to cover her story. Then went home on the 17th and opened the pool gate, and replaced the ladder to make it look like she drowned her, if she was caught. On the 18th she borrowed the shovel to probably bury caylee, but thought she was being watched and returned the shovel. Then took Caylees body from the trunk, with smell already and buried her near eco trail, south of lake underhill. This is where the search needs to continue. She is either buried here, or near winter park! This baby will be found along Goldenrod and thats my theory.. Hey Dave give me a shout, im laid off right now, and i will help find this child.

I agree with you Lisa...and let's not forget this...
Cindy washed the clothes that she found in the trunk of the car…just hours prior to making the 911 call…
Maybe the police should consider charging Cindy with tampering and destroying evidence…
Because when Cindy called the 911…she told them that it smelled like a dead body in the car…so she knew that it smelled like a dead body through admission to the 911 operator…so Cindy of all people, being a nurse, would know exactly how to clean up bodily fluids and smells in the trunk of a car…so why did Cindy do it?
And please Cindy, enlighten me here…why did you touch anything in the trunk of the car when you knew it smelled like a dead body…and why did you clean it all up before you made that 911 call?…
Hopefully Cindy will be arrested too...
