Casey Anthony Searched for Chloroform Recipes

Thursday, October 23, 2008
filed under: Casey Anthony

New reports show the mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony researched how to create her own deadly concoction.

We already knew there were high levels of chloroform in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car where investigators say Caylee's body had been, along with a mysterious stain in the trunk and Caylee's hairs and dirt. We also knew someone using Casey Anthony's computer had been researching for where to buy chloroform.

But now we learn searches for "chloroform recipes" were also found on Casey's computer. According to a guest on "Nancy Grace," creating chloroform is not only cheap, it's easy to make with a simple trip to CVS or Walmart.

A Google search of "how do you make chloroform" yields more than one million websites listed with instructions. On one site, there was an explicit warning about chloroform's dangers, calling the chemical extremely dangerous and unpredictable and a warning to keep kids away from chloroform.

To make chloroform, all you need is bleach, ice, and acetone (a similar ingredient is found in nail polish remover).

Moms of young kids often search for recipes online ... but not like this. Why do you think Casey Anthony wanted to make her own chloroform? Comment in the momlogic community.

OK, has anything been said by the father of poor Caylee? Or does anyone know who that even is? As a mother myself, I know that the first 5 minutes that I couldnt find my child…911 would be my first move, and then complete panic!!!! This “thing” Casey is a horrible excuse for a mother, human, or woman. No it was not an accident, I mean really people…what mother would act like “there is just another party to go to so hurry up and get me out of jail I am going to be late” when there baby is missing for how long now. Please…this is obsurd. Nancy Grace is awesome. Casey Anthony is a murderer can anyone see the difference? What kind of person lets the body of their daughter rot somewhere and not at the very least give her a proper and well deserved burial? I am so bitter and discusted I cannot even type anymore!

I find it strange that Casey’s brother, Lee, had to be forced to provide a DNA sample. Why, when both his parents cooperated immediately? What does he have to hide? If I had any say in the matter I would insist a paternity test be done to make sure Lee’s just Caylee’s uncle - and not her daddy as well. Sexual abuse of one sibling by another does happen, and it devastates the victim’s life. Intense trauma can cause the victim to numb out, shut down all emotion. Post traumatic stress disorder can result. It was interesting, not so long ago, to hear on the news that a surprising number of violent crimes are committed by the veterans who’ve returned from the trauma of the Iraqui and Afghanistan wars… Again, I’m going back to my own tortured early life, and remembering times when I was incapable of having any affection for anyone or anything. With help, I’m past it, I made it, but I would not even have wanted to be my own dog way back then. Mulling about what happened in the Casey Anthony case is all a theory, to be sure. The truth is hidden somewhere behind the dishonest facade of that family. It may never really come to light, no matter how much we all want to know. By the way, my own mother was a nurse, too. I know of at least two other hard working nurses, with two children each, who seem to have done a far better job raising one of their kids as compared to the other. They both have one “good” kid, and one who’s acting out: drugs, sex, booze, unemployment. Nursing is such a demanding profession with the rotating shift work and all. Might it be better all around for nurses to take a break from their exhausting jobs until the kids are at least five years old? I have misgivings about daycare, having been passed around from one dubious caregiver to another as a little kid. One care giver’s teenage son sexually abused me when I was only two. I have only memory windows of that trauma but I had to contend with flashbacks stretching into adulthood which were so bad that I used to literally double over with pain, disgust, and shame. I couldn’t talk to anyone about it for many years. I know there are many good folks

Someone mentioned a theory that Casey wanted to stage a kidnapping to get attention from her parents. If the kidnapping theory is true, I’m sure it would have been to get ransom money for her broke A*S.

i don’t care if she ment to do it or not the thing is she did it! she never said anything about it. she needs to spend the rest of her life in jail just thinking about what she done to her own child. she dos’t have to go buy the stuff most people have bleachand if you have a pool shock it too.so there doesn’t have to be anyproof she made it.

I think that Nancy Grace, the newscaster is a rude, self-absorbed person. She kept interrupting the other newscaster!!!! Why are people with no class allowed to be on tv like that…

well, she was saying the last time she seen her daughter was with the babysitter, where is the baby sitter and has she been questioned?

M, where have you been? The very smart, experienced investigators discovered after four hours of interviewing Casey Anthony July 15 and 16 that the babysitter existed only in Casey’s mind. They kept saying, “Everything you’ve told us is a lie.” She made up the “Nanny did it” defense to cover up the first degree murder of her toddler.

As soon as the news of the chloroform was released I felt that Casey had drugged Caylee so that she could go “out” without having to explain to her parents why she needed them to babysit. It’s likely that she put her in the trunk before she went out so she could check periodically to make sure she hadn’t awakened while she was in the club or @ some guy’s house. She could have administered more chloroform to ensure she stayed “asleep” until she was ready to go home for the night. My guess is that the chloroform caused her death. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Casey had forgotten that her daughter was in the trunk until the next day. From that point she panicked. This is such a sad and unnecessary situation, especially when there are grandparents who would have taken that precious, precious child in to live with them. Casey would have been free, for the most part, of her cumbersome maternal responsibilities.

I think that Casey used chloroform to make her daughter sleep so she could party and not be bothered. I think she used to much and killed her.

Let’s all face the facts that are obvious here. #1 She is a KILLER, this pathetic waste of human life deserves NO chances, NO respect, NOT one ounce of justice (What Lawyer could defend such a disgusting being?) I’m sorry, but I’m angry at this situation! That poor little beautiful innocent child did nothing to deserve this. Its clear that justice will be served but unfortunately not in the manner we all hope. I am sorry for making such hard remarks but I have no patience for people like her..such a selfish indivdual, no morales, no self respect for herself and MAY GOD JUDGE HER IN THE END!!

What is going on in this investigation is just as crazy as Casey herself! Yes, the parents AND the bother both need to be arrested, questioned, and indicted if necessary. This entire family is guilty if you ask me. Why the police are not putting the screws to this entire family is beyond my comprehension…. They all know something…and perhaps the pieces of the puzzle would come together if they squeezed them a bit harder!

This case has had so much attention and I think that is pleasing to Casey. She is a very sick woman and I can only hope our justice system finds her guilty of the horrific crime she has committed. I pray for the recovery of little Caylee. I pray she felt no pain and is in the arms of our heavenly father.

this case just breaks my heart… this case has touched the whole world. casey has some serios mental problems that she shows every day. cindy anthony was more than eager to take caylee so why did she have to kill that precios little girl.. with the circumstantial evidence and casey’s behaivor i believe justice will be served. she needs to die the same way kaylee did… THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE.

What are you nuts? giving the formula to all the public so everyone can commit a crime. If there is a lot of criminals out side it is becasue the media is helping them with movies, ideas and even recipes for chemical. She even repeated 3 times in case you didn’t catch it at first. Incredible how media is creating all this show.

I agree with Joyce in prayer that they find Caylee now.

I have been having bad dreams since this news broke. I look into the eyes of those pics of Caylees, and it is almost too much to bear! I hope that there will bean ending to this soon, and that Caylee, by some miracle, will be found. It would be so great to find her alive, and if she is found alive, I think Casey needs to be found guilty of bieng a monster and put in front of America, where we can pass what we feel needs to be done to this monster.If Caylee is found dead, then I think that Casey should be tortured by having to see post mortem pictures of that beautiful and tortured little girl every single day until it is time for her own death, and may itbe a slow and agonizing death to boot.

I don’t see any reason why Caylee’s dna evidence wouldn’t end up in the back of Casey’s car. Diaper bags, hairbrushes, clothes, dirty diapers, all that stuff ends up in the trunk when you have a kid. So does bleach and lots of other things. Things spill, stuff happens. I just don’t think that on its own, the dna evidence is enough, because if you read the dna report the specimens in question are too minute and not significant enough. It isn’t as though they found a blood stain. Until they have a body, or find out who the father is, or answer any of the questions that everyone really wants to know, I just don’t think there is enough to really feel certain about. Yeah, her character stinks. But I would definitely demand moreburden of proof. They’re failing to do their jobs adequately as investigators, and jumped the gun. I don’t like how they’ve handled the investigation. People need to as more questions.
