Armchair Detectives' Casey Anthony Theories

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Followers of the high profile Casey Anthony case have their own ideas about what happened to three-year-old Caylee.

armchair_detectives_casey_anthony_pm.jpg

Caylee and Casey Anthony were high up on the recently released list of Yahoo! 2008 most searched terms, coming in at number two. A search for Casey Anthony on Google garners a staggering seven million results -- it's no wonder interest in the high profile case continues to grow. Since a recent motion for a gag order was denied, those who can't turn away from the mystery of the whereabouts of Caylee Anthony continue to dig into the tragic story as if they were actually assigned to the case. Up to now, the most widely held hypothesis of what happened to Caylee is her mother, wanting to live the "party" life, attempted to sedate her child with a lethal dose of chloroform and hid the body in her the trunk of her car. She eventually disposed of the body in a yet to be revealed location.

Despite the mounds of circumstantial and forensic evidence that seem to point to this conclusion, there are still those with their own idea of what happened to Caylee. Check out some of their theories:

Casey is hiding Caylee from Cindy Anthony
Casey's mom Cindy allegedly told family members that she was considering filing for full custody of Caylee because Casey was an "unfit mother." Some believe this is the reason Casey made Caylee "disappear." Court documents released earlier this year said Casey wanted to give the Caylee up for adoption before she was born but Cindy Anthony wouldn't let her. And according to Casey's brother Lee, there was already bad blood between Casey and her mother because, in the delivery room, grandmother Cindy was handed newborn Caylee BEFORE Casey.

Caylee was left in a hot car
Both Cindy and Casey are responsible for Caylee's death. The mom and daughter went out shopping one day for groceries and left Casey accidentally inside the car. When they got back to the car, Caylee was dead. Later they both put the toddler in the trunk of the car and together disposed of the body.

Caylee was kidnapped by drug dealers
Since no one has come forward to identify the Caylee "sighting" at a Florida mall, many think the little girl was indeed kidnapped. Some who have viewed the images believe Caylee is being held captive or was killed by drug dealers in retaliation for a situation involving Casey's drug habit.

Casey's brother Lee is  Caylee's dad
No one seems to know who Caylee's father is -- although at one point Casey falsely told investigators he was killed in a car accident. Some people believe Casey's brother Lee is the actual father of Caylee. A police interview of Casey's former fiancée Jesse Grund revealed that Casey had once told him Lee made inappropriate sexual advances toward her. This alleged incest accusation could have resulted in a child. Many feel Casey's relationship with her brother is "creepy," referencing the way she refers to him as "sweetheart" as evidence of its inappropriate nature. Although this theory doesn't explain how Caylee met her fate -- some feel it explains the dysfunction of the Anthony family.

Casey planned to kill her entire family
According to reports, Casey told a friend  her parents were getting a divorce and giving her the house. Casey had claimed she was planning on moving in the Anthony house the weekend Caylee disappeared. Was Casey was planning on chloroforming George, Cindy and Caylee
as they slept and bury their bodies in the back yard? A few people think this might've been the case. The theory is the plan went sour when Cindy and Casey got into a physical fight over a financial matter and Casey killed Caylee to get even.

What do you think is the truth?

So here’s a question. The air captured in the trunk consisted of gasses that are consistent with a decomposing body after a matter of DAYS. that would mean caylee was in the trunk at MAXIMUM a few DAYS after she died. We’re generally at a consensus that she met her fate on or around the 16th of June. So that would mean that the body was in the trunk during the week of the 16th of June and then removed. Ok, so by the 15th of July the smell was still overwhelmingly strong which would mean that the smell had to have been there between the 16th of June and beyond, right? But George said he couldn’t smell any odor on the day of the gas cans. and he had gotten as close as the rear bumper. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ???

If I could ever get thru to NANCY GRACE on the phone I would ask her!!!! I agree with Sam and I have said this all along. Cindy knows and Casey and her buried her! Now she can only try to save Casey and that is what she is doing. You can hear it in her voice when she changed her tune about Casey! SOMEONE PLEASE **DIG UP THE YARD NOW!!***

Internet search, “How to make chloraform” = Chloraform in car trunk. Missing gas cans= burn the dead body. Casey knocks Caylee out with homemade chloraform, then to dispose of the body she steals gas cans from the garage. She pours gas on Caylee’s body, burns the body and then convinces herself that she has no idea where Caylee is, because in essence, in her sick mind, since the body was burned, she doesn’t know where the body is because as of now, there is no more body!

If I’m not mistaken the reports about the fresh concrete being poured in their yard was debunked by the sherrif’s dept. in late July. The only thing “new” in the yard was a few paving stones (i’m picturing the removable type) The cadaver dogs are not 100% for one thing, for another, it could mean that her body had been there at one point, not that it was necessarily still there. I tend to believe it was an accidental killing but Casey is still psychopathic, because she went on with her life, she didn’t really care that Caylee was dead. I can’t wait to see what their “big bombshell” is that they’re going to reveal in court that they can’t reveal now. If it’s so dangerous to reveal the info now then why will it be less dangerous to reveal in a month when the trial starts. How about that Baez getting all cozy cozy with Casey too? Are they still investigating that?

I believe that Casey wanted to go partying and didn’t have a babysitter, put Caylee in the trunk with a rag of chloroform to keep her out for a quite a while, accidently overdosed her, freaked out and got rid of her, I think mom Cindy knows, she washed Casey’s pants that had the smell of death on them, and George is oblivious or in shock that is why he is cooperating. Cindy knows though, she knows.

sarahane, I would suggest that the reason Baez was “hugging” Casey in the jail cell was: The first time he hugged her, he slipped her a stolen cell phone on which to text her accomplice on where the body was so they could move it, or to pick up the clothes that she claimed the police were not smart enough to find (perhaps her mother, perhaps George, because witnesses saw him out in the area). Baez was reprimanded by the jailers not to touch Casey again. Then, he did it again before he left. Perhaps that was for Casey to slip the phone back into Baez’ pocket. I hope that the visit was recorded, and that the police scrutinize the tapes.

Lots of theories abound here, bottom line is that Caylee is dead. We can all sit in our homes, weeping for this precious child and pray for her recovery, this is all we can do now. We will not ever see her alive again, no matter how many alleged sightings we see. The current photos we are asked to think is Caylee, obviously are not her. If she was with a kidnapper, would that person be so stupid as to flaunt her to the public? No, they would take her elsewhere in order to keep anyone from seeing her so this is all wet as far as any of us can determine. With all the evidence present, she is dead and has been dead a while. No amount of digging in the yard will find her. She is not there at the house. Casey made sure she was well hidden when she dumped her baby’s body. If you dispose of your child and tell folks she was kidnapped, would you be dumb enough to place her body where it can be found? If you are underhanded and evil enough to do this act in the first place, you are shifty enough to hide the body. In other words, as long as the body is hidden, she feels there is no proof that she murdered her baby. Now, maybe a test of the situation would be to tell her that her body was found along with evidence that she murdered her and the act is over. Shake her up a bit, get her off the pedestal and down in the dirt for a while. Right where she belongs, down where there is no further down point to get into. There are many tactics law enforcement have to get someone to confess, they are most likely working on ways to do this. If someone would go see her in jail, wearing long faces and crying, tell her they found her baby and look for her response, bet they might come up with something. Of course they would need to sedate Cindy for about a week, may I suggest chloroform? Have we ever heard that she has taken a lie detector test? If not, do it and see what comes up. Too many things left undone here for my way of thinking.

Look at all these “Mommy Sherlock Holmes’”. Shouldn’t you all be taking care of your kids instead of reading tabloid trash? Just a thought

OK, Casey killed Caylee probably by chloroform, took her out somewhere after she started decomposing, burned her little body with gasoline, picked up the remains, put them in a bag in her truck, finally told Cindy what she did-then they buried them under the little stones IN THE BACK YARD! There is Cindy’s “concrete evidence” that she talks about—-IT’S UNDER THE CONCRETE IF SOMEONE WILL JUST GO LOOK!!! NANCY GRACE ARE YOU LISTENING? WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

It’s called a job, Cecil. If you’d ever get out of your mom’s basement and get one, you’d realize some of these “JOBS” have computers and internet and at these “JOBS” we get things called breaks where we can browse the web. Go back to playing video games in your basement cave and leave the speculation to us moms.

Cecil- apparently you don’t have any kids, or I pity them to have you for a dad..If it’s such tabloid trash what are you doing reading it HERE AT MOMLOGIC???? Go to work

One thing for sure when Casey finally does go to court, she better have on her bullet proof vest and head gear…. I can’t wait for her to be put in with the prison general population, or do you think she will somehow get her own PRIVATE cell? It really looks like the law enforcement could have some tactic to make the B—— break. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HER FOR ALL THE LIES THAT CAME OUT OF HER MOUTH. Why should she be kept in her little secure cell with everything she needs—except for a man ofcourse… She’ll probably be hitting on the jailers since she can’t cozy up to her lawyer now. I still say she needs someone to beat the crap out of her until she TALKS!!!

George and Lee should have beat the crap out of Casey when she was home out on bond. I think they know now. Maybe not at first. Cindy knows too, she’s just trying to save her daughters life. CINDY SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND STAY HOME OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU OR HEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY. WE ARE SICK OF YOU AND YOUR LIES TOO!!

All this talk about beating up Casey so she will talk is crazy. That’s assault and anyone who assaults anyone should be prosecuted. Casey is a sociopath. She is not going to tell anyone she killed Caylee and where she hid the body. Besides Any lawyer advises their client when arrested not to talk and to make the state prove its case. Cindy, George and Lee do not want to know the truth. Let’s face it. We will never know what happened to Caylee. Let’s just hope that a jury will find her guilty of murder anyway.

has anyone seen those 2 movies Casey and her boyfriend rented and watched? Does anyone know the names of the movies? I think Caylee is dead too. The decomposition confirms that. If George hadn’t been such a wuss, he would have shoved Casey out of the way and opened that damn trunk or else gone back out there with HIS SET of keys!

I think Caylee is alive and that this whole thing is a set up to get “rid” of Caylee and not let Cindy have her. Casey wanted to give her away from the start. I think Caylee was given away or sold and Casey made sure it was a far away place. I do not think the pic at mall is Caylee at all. The nose is different. Casey is tolerating the jail situation for now because her attorney is still convinced that without a body, there will not be evidence to put her away. If she does get life sentence….. I bet Caylee will turn up real quick!

oh………. and my theory about the corpse being in trunk…. I think Casey was using chloroform to actually anesthetize Caylee while she removed small piece of scalp with the hair and put it in the trunk to make a human remain odor detectable and George and Cindy would be convinced that Caylee is dead. However, one thing Casey didn’t think about was that her dumb rear end would be charged with murder! She thought she could weasel her way aound it with her lies and good looks. Backfired!! ps I’m probabyly way off though

MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD TRY “WATERBOARDING” MISS CASEY —IF YOU THINK BEATING HER UP IS A BAD IDEA

I believe that she sold Caylee to this woman (babysitter) for party and drug money.
