The mystery of Caylee Anthony is now entering a third month.
Police in Orlando continue to track down leads and tips.
However, all have come up empty.
That’s not to say detectives don’t have an idea what might have happened to the 3-year-old girl.
Authorities have said they believe Caylee’s mother, Casey, knows much more than she has told them.
Casey, who was released on bail last week, is said to be cooperating in the investigation, according to a family spokesperson.
Meanwhile, just about everyone has a theory for this case.
Casey says her daughter was kidnapped. Others suspect Casey killed Caylee, some believe it was an accident, others think it was murder.
This is all speculation of course.
But since many of you have an opinion on this tragic story, let’s find out what you believe is the truth.
Share your thoughts with us.

August 25th, 2008 11:19 am ET Casey has told lie after lie since this story broke, and has been uncooperative, however, I still believe she is alive as well. Something just doesn’t add up here. She is said to tell lie afrer lie, stole gas from her dad, burrowed a shovel from a neighbor and left her car abandoned in Florida yet police and investigators have ye to find a body, or even enough evidence to convict her of such a heinous crime. I don’t believe she is smart enough to cover up a murder. Again, there is something strange going on here. They will find her alive very soon. |

August 25th, 2008 11:19 am ET Caylee Anthony is a sociopath. Whether it was murder or manslaughter due to an accident, the process she has gone to, to cover it up has been intentional. She has lied every step of the way and apparently has been doing so for years, telling everybody in her life she was going to work everyday for 2 years as she has been unemployed. Whether she is sitting in a cell or at home with those desperately in denial over what she has done, Casey Anthony, like all the sociopaths before her, will lie and deny all the way up to an beyond when the jury finds her guilty. |

August 25th, 2008 11:21 am ET I believe that Caylee is the victim of an accident and her mother has buried her somewhere. I believe Casey’s family really want to believe that Caylee is still alive, and as a grandparent, I really can’t blame them. They are in such denial that their daughter could have anything to do with the disappearance of Caylee. To my knowledge, nothing has been mentioned as to whether or not Casey has any history of mental illness. It would be interesting to know. I pray that this baby is found alive, but I, like everyone else, believe that we have to accept the reality of her death and look for a body somewhere |

August 25th, 2008 11:22 am ET Well as many lies that Casey has told to the police and everyone else there is only one conclusion as to why she would lie so much. It has to be because Caylee is dead. Regardless if it was accidental or on purpose it doesn’t matter. The baby is dead and the one responsible for her won’t tell. I thought that once Casey was released that she was going to find out where Caylee was and tell the police. What happened to that!? Sounds like another Scott Peterson to me! Cindy..Ga. |

August 25th, 2008 11:25 am ET I believe she murdered her daughter. Any Mother whose kid was kidnapped or missing wouldn’t go out and party and take happy photos at a night club. It’s a shame she has her parents convinced she has done nothing wrong to their beloved granddaughter. If she really wanted to find her daughter Caylee would of been home by now playing in her grandparents backyard. Clearly this is a homicide and all kidnapping or accidental death theories should be laid to rest. Lock her up and throw away the key, she is a criminal. |

August 25th, 2008 11:25 am ET I cannot fathom what kind of mother would not do everything in her power to locate her child if in fact, she was really missing. I’m sorry to say that I believe she has done the most heinous of things to her child and she will not be found. I pity all those who are standing by her when they finally learn the truth. |

August 25th, 2008 11:29 am ET I have been following this case from the beginning. I truly believe that Caylee is dead and that Casey is covering it up. I cannot believe that any mother could behave the way that she has if she is innocent. I have two beautiful children, and I would go to the ends of the earth to find them. Hopefully the truth will come out very soon… |

August 25th, 2008 11:30 am ET I think the worse has happened but I pray that I am wrong. At first I thought it might’ve been an accident but it seems as if Casey has had this all planned out all along. Any mother in her right mind would not withhold information if their child had been kidnapped after all this time. I would be panicking trying to help find my daughter. |

August 25th, 2008 11:30 am ET Did any stop to think maybe she hiding her?? Or just has a black heart. I believe she know where Caylee is. I just wish she would tell everyone where they can find her? I pray she isn’t dead. |

August 25th, 2008 11:33 am ET I am a mother of 3 boys who are now teenagers and one who is 22. They are the air I breathe and this women is crazy if she thinks anyone is buying this, “I don’t know where my daughter is”. Even if she had been drinking, she knows where she is and my guess is that she is not alive or the mother would be leading them to her. People like her need to executed for ever harming a child. I am a firm believer in an eye for an eye. God Bless that baby girl… |

August 25th, 2008 11:33 am ET casey is a sociopath along the lines of scott peterson.she is the type that would off a loved one for money.i only hope they find enough evidence to charge her with murder.any jury would love to slam this thing,shes inhuman. |

August 25th, 2008 11:35 am ET Anderson, if my three year old grandson was missing I’d be screaming to the roof tops and not care whether his mother was in jail or not.She would have been the LEAST of my worries and I certainly wouldnt have advocated her coming home until she ‘fessed’ up. Casey knows where that baby is and until her parents exert a little tough love she’s going to continue pulling the nose ring. |

August 25th, 2008 11:39 am ET I am not someone who needs to judge another human being but all the evidences points directly at the mother. If my child were missing I would report it right away not go out and party as if my child didnt even exsist. This so called bounty hunter all he did was get her a free pass out of jail ticket and now his job is done I see no point in him even being interview any longer. He is just a embrassment to himself and the public. I dont think he should have even got involved in this case but now that it is done there isnt no need in dwelling over it. |

August 25th, 2008 11:39 am ET It’s beyond anything I can comprehend. If Casey is the good mother like we are being told, why in God’s name won’t she say who or where her daughter is. I’m a mother of two, and I can tell you right now. If someone takes either one of my children, they would have to kill me first off. Second, I’d be on the phone to 911 seconds later. I still think she needs to be held accountable for the neglect of her child. |

August 25th, 2008 11:39 am ET This is a very bizzare and strange incident. Since day one I feel that Caylee’s mother is very involved with the disappearance of her daughter. It almost seems like she is enjoying the attention from the media and being placed under police custody didn’t even seem to phase her. There is no excuse at this point for her actions and the sad part is that her daughter is the one who is suffering. How could the parents even side with Casey saying that the public has it all wrong. If they know something they don’t seem to concerned about their grand-daughter. As far as I’m concerned put Casey back in jail, deny her visitors and treat her like the scum she is. Dreadful waste of air and a sorry excuse for a parent. |

August 25th, 2008 11:39 am ET The mother does know more but how will police get that information our of her? Has she explained the smell of something dead in the trunk of her car (old pizza? ..not). Has she explained why she asked a neighbor for a shovel? Has she explained why she wanted a gas can from her father? Looks like she wanted to burn and bury a corpse. Has anyone checked the area local parks open after dark to see if a gril was used there and the child buried nearby? I believe the child is dead and may have died from heat in a car while mom was gratifying her pleasures acting like a porn-star prostitute. |

August 25th, 2008 11:44 am ET Casey Anthony has already been tried and convicted by the general public! What ever happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty? Yes, her daughter is missing. Yes, she has lied. Yes, she’s kept her mouth shut thus far. But no one has proven that Caylee is dead. For that matter, no one has proven that she wasn’t kidnapped. Everything at this point is pure speculation. It’s time for the media to leave this alone and let the authorities do their job without our help. As it is, it’s too late for Casey to get a fair trial anywhere in this country! |

August 25th, 2008 11:46 am ET I…like almost everybody else following this case would be very surprised if the sweet little girl is found alive. Could be murder…but more likely to be a horrible accident…hence all the covering up that seems to be going on…Casey has got everyone wrapped around her finger and should never have been let out of jail….she’s not going to talk and tell the truth about what actually happened to Caylee now or ever! I hope they find her body soon and put an end to this maddness! |
|
| Robin G. |
August 25th, 2008 11:46 am ET I believe Casey knows exactly who she left Caylee with. This is not rocket science. The child cannot drive or take a bus alone, so where did the Mom leave her? In addition, any Mom who waits 30 days to report a child missing, is a willing participant & contributor in the tragic event. |
|
| Amber |
August 25th, 2008 11:46 am ET I believe Casey should step up and be a mother and do whatever it takes to help find her daughter if in fact she is missing and if she did do something to her she needs to fess up. Enough of the games and tight lips- where is Caylee? |

August 25th, 2008 11:49 am ET I am not sure what happened only Casey and God knows what happened,if it was a accident then so be it, if she knows what happen she needs to tell the police if it was a accident it will all come out.If it wasn’t an accident then she needs to be charged just like anyone else would be.I pray that she wll tell the police what happened and soon.i pray that if caylee is still alive that she is being took care of and not being abused. i pray for lil caylee and her family and yes even her mom,i know God will take of this. |

August 25th, 2008 11:49 am ET first of all, my prayers are for Caylee wherever she may be. My thoughts change constantly the more I watch the news! The entire family seems to have issues & I detect a major bonding problem with Casey & her own mom. Caylee is the main priority..finding her if she is alive and bringing her back to her surroundings & loved ones. If something horrible has happened to this Angel, Casey should know that now or later, the evidence will come out & if that is the case, and she is responsible, she WILL be prosecuted! She knows what or where she left her daughter and why she doesn’t speak the truth is a mystery. I’m sure she has not “sold” her….there is a $225K reward. I’m sure that amount is greater than any drug deal she may have owed for or sell her for her freedom. If Caylee were alive, I’m sure she would have been dropped off at a firestation or police station by now to collect the reward. A drug dealer wouldn’t want a 3 year old to put a damper on their lifestyle. So come on Casey…..start talking-somewhere inside you there has to be a little love for your child-so many others would have take her if you didn’t want her. |

August 25th, 2008 11:50 am ET I am just sick over this whole case. I just can’t believe that this girl “Casey” will not tell someone ,,,, who has her little baby girl. ( If that’s even true) I just feel that no one has her because she is no longer here on earth! How does Casey sleep at night? I guess the same way she paried while her baby girl was missing or no longer around! Casey , If I were your morther… I would have to beat the truth out of you even if it meant I would go to jail for it! Casey you will have to answer to GOD one day. But, I’m not so sure you even have a GOD. |

August 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET I really want to believe this little girl is still alive and safe somewhere. However, my gut feeling is she has passed away, and most likely due to her mother’s negligence. I don’t ever want to think Casey intentionally killed her being a mother myself, but I can’t be surprised if that happened either. I hope now that she is out on abail she will tell at least her family more to help close this case. Either way, I think she is a digust to young mothers in the world and should rot in jail. |

August 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET I am not sure how the child died but what I think happened after Lit’ Caylee’s death is that her mom is the one who had stolden the Gas Can’s from her parents garage and the gas was used as an incendiary of Lit’l Caylee’s remains. |

| Melanie |
August 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET I think there is so much more to this whole thing then what we can see. |
|
| michelle |
August 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET I think whether she did it on purpose or it was an accident she killed her. It is sad to think a mother could do that to her child, but we have seen it before. I just can’t understand why, if she is alive, Casey isn’t helping in finding her daughter. I think Casey’s mother also knows more than what she is letting on. I think she also knows what happened. |

August 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET I believe the poor lil gurl was murdered and the mother is just toying with the police so her parents cannot find out what had happened to her. |

August 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET What is wrong with those grandparents. We all heard the heart-wrenching 911 calls made by the grandmother of Caylee. I know that they don’t want to face the fact that Caylee may not be alive anymore, but come on the grandmother said it herself. On the 911 call recording the grandmother says that the car smells like a dead body. As a mother I understand, that they want to believe that Caylee is alive and well. I also understand that Casey’s parents don’t want to believe that their daughter could harm her own child. You always want to be positive and believe the best of your children, but how can they dismiss the fact that it took her over a month to report that baby missing, and the car smelled like a dead body. I hope that they find that baby alive and well. I will be the first to apoligize for accusing Casey, but I just don’t see that happening. IF I gave my child to a babysitter and they ran off with my child, I would call the police to find my baby. I would not lie to police. (that only endangers the life of the child) The only reason to lie to police is if you have something to hide. I think in this case Casey knows where that baby is, and she also knows that she will be in more trouble if she shows the police where she is. The smell in the trunk of the car tells us that a dead body was in that car. So who was the mother driving around dead in the car. The only person that I have heard about connectted to Casey, who is missing is Caylee. |

August 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET I am a single mother of a 12 year old boy. If he went missing my life would revolve around one thing, finding my son. I would be doing anything and everything the police asked of me, be it answering questions, opening my home for examination, pleading with any media available for help in finding my child. Partying in a bar with a big smile on my face? Not in my life. My smiles would be history until I had my son returned. The only tears on Casey Anthonys face are for herself while sitting in jail. Not once have I seen her look into a camera and beg and plead for help in finding her daughter. Call me crazy but the last thing I would do is lie to the police, not if I loved my child, not if I wanted him back, not if I was a heartbroken mother faced with the impossible notion of a future without my child. I’ve seen no tears on anyones face with regards to Kaylee, not from her mother or her grandparents. How can you lose a child and not cry, how can you lose a child and not cooperate, how can you lose a child and do anything but search search search! The answer is you can’t, unless the child isn’t really lost at all, and you know it. Where is she, Casey…. |

| Valerie Kinman |
August 25th, 2008 11:59 am ET I think Caylee died in an accident, since she borrowed a shovel from a neighbor and was calling her mom many times repeatedly. I think Casey freaked out and knows that she is not a very stable person. |
|
| Stephanie |
August 25th, 2008 12:00 pm ET Casey has done something and she is not sharing with anyone. As a mother I know that when I am out and about with my son the moment I can’t see him my heart starts to race. This women has no emontion for the “missing” child she is looking for. There is something more to this story. In the “what if” of things here is my thoughts. Maybe she has sold her child (she does like to party) and whom ever she sold her to has told her not to breath a word or she and the child are dead. Who knows what she has done with that little girl. One more thing if your child goes missing you don’t tell the media to go away, I would want as much coverage as I could get. |

| Erika |
August 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET The authorities are probably right, she knows more than what she has told anyone. Hence the fact she did not report her daughter missing for a whole month! |
|
| Drea |
August 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET I think the fact that she refused to cooperate early on in the investigation is indicitive that she has something to hide. I also believe that if you are searching for your child , that you believe has been kidnapped, after a few days you would turn to someone to help you in your search and not wait for your parents to insist you make a missing persons report a month later. This was all too convenient for her and the search for her daughter an inconvenience. I think after 24 hours of missing your child, you would turn for help. Also, why doesnt she take a polygraph and exclude herself as a suspect? Nothing to me indicates she has any relevant hidden information that she couldn’t have shared with authorities. I think it’s all a bunch of lies to cover up a crime. And don’t even get me started on her parents….. |
|
| Peter |
August 25th, 2008 12:08 pm ET From what I have read of the nature of Casey’s personality and her inability to accept personal responsibility or face facts I believe that Caylee most probably died accidently. Casey would not have been able to face the fact that she would have borne at some responsibility for her daughters death (possibly by neglect) and thus we have the tangled web of lies that she has spun in order to avoid the truth. |

August 25th, 2008 12:09 pm ET i think its about time the parents of casey anthony come to terms with the fact that there grandaughter is most likely dead. i know it sounds terrible, but they have to stop the denial. how many times have we had these kind of stories on tv? and how many happy endings have we had?. casey is clearly to blame for the vanishing of her daughter, and could care less about anyone but herself. lies,lies and more lies, nothing but lies, and to top it off shes gonna continue the wild goose chase forever, shes never going to tell the truth. shes sitting in her parents home planning this huge strategy of (finding caylee) ha,ha when she knows exactly where she is and knows darn well that shes dead. shes a sick twist and i think her family has to come to terms with the fact that caylee is never coming home and that their daughter is the person responsible. thats two very hard things for them to accept, and i totally understand why they continue to support casey but i think at this point maybe they are just doing anything to try to get the truth out of her even supporting her even though they know deep down that she and she alone is responsible. the fact that this poor family is forever ripped apart doesnt seem to bother casey, they will probably never ever find out what happened to caylee. this is an unspeakable discusting act of a mother who has dicarded her baby and is continuing to torture all those around her with no remorse. i hope the forensic evidence comes back real soon so we can lock her up and throw away the key so caylee and caylees family can start the process of healing if that is possible. |

August 25th, 2008 12:10 pm ET I am really lost for words on this whole situation. I really do not believe anything that Casey is saying about Caylee. She has been lying since day 1. I am praying that Caylee is still alive. |

August 25th, 2008 12:13 pm ET I hope they find her. I dont know how a mother could kill her own daughter. We all hope for the best but I think there is a lot more that she knows then she is telling. who gives there daughter away to a stranger and partys not knowing where she is, thats not normal either. Why dont these daughters if there having a hard time just give the baby to the grandma or a relative. I can tell the grandparents love her very much and would of taken her. All these young teens murdering there children when they cant take it anymore PLEASE give the baby to a relative there is one that is more then willing to take your child. |
|
| Cindy |
August 25th, 2008 12:19 pm ET I believe that the mother must know more than she is letting on. What kind of mother would go a month without saying anything to anyone when your child is missing? Don’t you think she might have said something to her family or boyfriend? I think that the whole story about her conducting her own investigation is a lie. Her being able to go on for a month acting as if nothing happened to her daughter shows quite a lack of concern for her daughters welfare or maybe she didn’t have to worry about her welfare anymore? |

August 25th, 2008 12:23 pm ET Hello: Maybe i just don’t trust… maybe i’m wrong… but i think that Casey Anthony has done something to her daughter. I think she has killed her whether it be an accident or not. From her jailhouse tapes and her silence regarding her daughter, she seems to have no feelings. She should be shouting from the rooftops, asking to have her daughter back. She seems cold and unfeeling. I say guilty but i realize that she has the right to a trial. It’s just so sad to lose your daughter and seem so totally unconcerned. So, if she isn’t guilty, then why this total lack of reaction? N P |

August 25th, 2008 12:26 pm ET What decent mother would wait any period of time to report their child missing…that’s what I want to know. There is no conceiveable reason to wait any amount of time to report such a terrifying situation. She’s clearly guilty of something gone wrong accident or not. K Ryan - Toronto |

August 25th, 2008 12:26 pm ET I have 3 kids in college, I cannot believe that educated parents, a nurse and cop would allow their daughter to be a high school drop out. That said, I just wonder what hold she has over her parents, they seem to be her puppets on a string. They said the father of Caylee is dead however, if that was true the mother would be receiving SS benefits for the baby. I hope they can go back and find this father incase they do find this little girl alive, she should not be returned to this mother or grandparents. A liar at Casey’s level is created not born and no children should be left in their care! I just wonder if the grandfather is the read father of Caylee, why else would they allow this girl to live the way she does, stealing and dumping this child for the past year on someone! or perhaps Casey left her daughter in the car while she was partying at night, either way she nor her parents should be around any kids! |

August 25th, 2008 12:30 pm ET my heart just breaks for caylee… i don’t know what happened, but i know if my 3 year old was missing, i’d be hysterical! this mother doesn’t act like her daughter is missing at all, no concern, no tears, only concern for her b/f??? what is that???? something’s obviously not right & i hope & pray that caylee’s ok & nothing horrible has happened to her |

| Mary Delorme |
August 25th, 2008 12:33 pm ET I think it was an accident, I think that Casey was on the phone and not paying attention to Caylee and Caylee climbed the ladder of the pool |
|
| Armando |
August 25th, 2008 12:33 pm ET This case is just too bizarre! At first, I thought that she might have sold the little girl in the black market for money, drugs, whathaveyou; however, the missing gas cans, the fishy story about the babysitter, the smell in the trunk of the car, and her refusal to let grandpa gain access to the trunk of the car all add up to accidental death or murder. I just don’t know what to think at this point. Just really makes you wonder how the P.D. is handling all this information. God bless Caylee wherever she may be. |

August 25th, 2008 12:36 pm ET Either way, she is completely responsible and will I assume she’ll eventually tell the truth about how she couldn’t handle the stress of being a parent any longer and lost control and blah blah blah. I hope somebody gives her what she deserves… CNN NEVER posts my comments, even the ones that don’t suck! |

August 25th, 2008 12:36 pm ET The police have continued to collect evidence from Casey’s parents house. This is to add to the evidence in the car. Weeks have passed by and they cannot say that was the child’s blood stain in the car or hair. It seems to me they have nothing on this mother and it is frustrating them and their egos are impairing the investigation. How is it that out of jail Casey is talking, and how is it that in jail she did not and why? If she is sharing information with her parents that they are not sharing with the police would that mean they too are hindering the investigation? I find this story very bizarre but as bizarre as it is, if she is kidnapped then the best thing is for this story to continue down this path of bizarre so that the child is in the news. No other missing person has ever had so much attention. |

August 25th, 2008 12:37 pm ET First off its said she is cooperating in the investigation? Who is going to believe that. I myself, as I’m sure many people do believe that she knows much more than she says. Any “normal” parent would’ve contacted the police as soon as they realized that their child is missing. You don’t go and do your own search…you don’t have the same resources. Its just not the “normal” thing to do!!!! If anything you should’ve contacted your parents at least!!!! If you really love your child, and if someone has Caylee, then tell them who it is, especially if her life could in fact be in danger or they are causing her any harm. If you harmed her yourself, then fess up. Because sooner or later she will be found and you will get what is coming to you. And just to mention, Casey’s mother needs to get her head out of the clouds and come back down to earth to realize that her daughter did something to her grandchild. She is a grown woman, stop making excuses for her. |

August 25th, 2008 12:38 pm ET In my head I think she didn’t kill her child, I think maybe she sold her, After all she was in need of money if she was stealing gas & money from family and others. Maybe she told whom every got the child that she would pay them back in time. And maybe whom has her child had to run, they know that they are in trouble. She seem to me to be more of a person that don’t think before she does. And she has gotten in over her head. Maybe its time for her parents to face that the have a child they has gotten away things in the pass that she should have had to face up too. Looks like a case of tough love. But we hope not at that child expense. |

August 25th, 2008 12:40 pm ET A Hollywood writer could not have written a script with this many twists and turns. I see a movie of the week coming, don’t you? I believe Caylee is dead. Whether it was an accident due to poor judgment and neglect or deliberate murder, one thing is clear the mother is a sociopath with a narcissistic personality. There are so many unanswered questions. Why did she frame an incident woman as her scapegoat? What has she been doing all this time when her parents thought she was working? Is she an escort with a secret life? Does she just hang out at the mall? Who is Caylee’s real biological father? I don’t believe for one second it is who she has told people it is. Did she stage this whole ridiculous charade to punish her parents for loving Caylee so much? Did she kill her child because she would rather see her dead than with her parents. Was she jealous of the attention Caylee received? There are so many questions and hardly any honest answers. I believe the police do know the answers to many of our questions but of course they can not release any of them, they have their case to make in court. I think it is highly unlikely that Caylee was abducted. It makes no sense that someone would abduct this child and not find a way to claim the reward money. My real hope is that the grandparents are just going along with this rediculous senerio, hoping to get to the truth in the end. There is just no way that any mother would have sat in jail while her child was in danger and say nothing. It is hard to imagine what is going on inside this girl’s head. I just hope someday everyone will know the truth. |

August 25th, 2008 12:41 pm ET I believe the grandparents know more than what they claim. Also the police haven’t done a good job from the start just like the Jon Benet case I mean give me a break almost three months and no clue as to what has really taken place here? Im afraid this is going to the unsolved mystery files. |

August 25th, 2008 12:43 pm ET I believe Casey killed Caylee. I also believe her body will never be found and Casey will never be punished in this world. |

August 25th, 2008 12:45 pm ET She killed that little girl and is trying to get away with it. Every dog has thier day and she needs to remember that…and her day will be when then they find her dead daughter…dead by the hands of her mother… |

August 25th, 2008 12:46 pm ET I am sure the little angel is dead. they should have never release this psycopath, she is not fit to be a mother |

August 25th, 2008 12:51 pm ET I think the mother in her selfishness left the little girl unattended and the girl succumbed to injuries and she buried her somewhere and left her car in another area to mislead everyone and is in a total state of denial of taking any responsibility and somehow thinks this is magically going away. I think all effort should be made to trace her steps after she borrowed the shovel and they should question her more extensively in regards to the shovel. Having lived in Orange County for several years and on the east side I saw a mentality by young females and students of total selfishness without regards to anyone else living around them or regarding the laws of society. It creates a pattern of girls gone wild and innocent people suffer under those conditions as innocent children. An old verbeage states if women loose civility there goes society. I think all effort should be made to look for Caylee in areas this woman has prior visited by questioning her close female friends and boyfriends on possible locations. She made the remark several times that Caylee is in close proximity, that was no fluke but a definite statement. Intensify search.There are 45 000 UCF students get them organized to do something productive for the East Side of Orlando and search for this little girl. I lived on the East Side of Orlando for 5 years and just moved away. Get to it UCF and bring forth something positive instead of creating lack of sleep to follow residents during all hours of the night. |

August 25th, 2008 12:53 pm ET It was an accident. There is no other way this could happen this disastrously. No one can expect this little girl to be presumed alive and well as sad as that is to say. As scary as it is, for ONCE in Casey’s life, she should tell the truth and let her parents get some relief from this awesomely painful situation she has got them into… |

August 25th, 2008 12:55 pm ET Casey Anthony harmed her daughter, either intentionally or accidentally - at this point I don’t think there’s a difference because the outcome was the same - the little girl died. I find myself disliking her and her family more and more for expecting people to believe the unbelievable - but you know what? Then I think about Elizabeth Smart and how unbelievable that story was - and I hope this little girl is found alive and well - although really an unlikely outcome. |

August 25th, 2008 12:55 pm ET She has let this go on long enough. Her parents need to stop treating her like a baby. She is a grown woman who killed her daughter and needs to face the consequences. |

August 25th, 2008 12:59 pm ET This story and others is really troubling…Casey KNOWS what happened to her daughter….either she did it or she knows who did..I really hope this case is solved…. |

August 25th, 2008 12:59 pm ET Murder! Come on everyone!!!! Casey’s behavior is so, so, so far from normal. I can’t understand the complete denial her parents are in. They are so far in denial they are stupid. The only thing that Law Inforcement will uncover is poor Caylee’s dead body. Even after that, we’ll probably never know what happened to her…what Casey did to her! |

August 25th, 2008 1:01 pm ET My opinion is that this is the female version of another narcissistic, selfish Scott Peterson type. Male attention, social agenda, and how she is perceived by those she seeks attention from mean more than life itself. |

| Lisa |
August 25th, 2008 1:02 pm ET She is a cold blooded killer!!! She’s been out of jail for a few days now. She says she knows where Caley is so why hasn’t she gone and gotten her??????????????????????????? Liar!!!!!! |

August 25th, 2008 1:03 pm ET I have extreme mixed emotions about this case. As a mother myself I pray that this woman is protecting her child. I have a gut feeling that she is not telling everything because someone has Caylee. In my mind though I think Caylee is dead and it was possibly some sort of accident. Regardless I feel very much for everyone connected to this case and to this precious little light that cannot be found. Prayers for little Caylee that she is found safe. |

August 25th, 2008 1:04 pm ET I fear the little girl may be dead already… what a tragedy! |

| Susan |
August 25th, 2008 1:05 pm ET I believe it was an accident and she is scared to come forward.I think she was ready to party and proably ran onto a friends house to get some booze or drugs and got carried away and forgot Caylee in the car. She was too scared to call the police when it happened because she was so messed up on booze/drugs but she did call her parents but they didnt answer. So she put the body in the trunk and drove around in a panic. She then let her mom know and her mom helped her get rid of the body. Its so sad and it sounds so horrible. |

August 25th, 2008 1:07 pm ET When parents indulge their child’s every whim and fail to allow the child to deal with consequences of their actions charcter development is stymied. The way that Casey’s mother fawns over her daughter continuously calling her “sweetheart” and walking on egg shells with her every comment to her daughter it is apparent that Casey exerts a great deal of control over her mother. The world is a tough and harsh place at times, and Casey needs to deal with reality. Unfortunately, her reality may be very harsh - a small jail cell, It would have been far better had her mother and father raised her with good values such as respect for others and handling her own responsbilities as an adult. She lies, cheats and steals with seemingly indifference. Her parents should be ashamed of the daughter they’ve raised and begin to be a little tougher with her. The world is not all about Casey and her desires. This family needs psychiatric care and a lot of soul-searching. |

August 25th, 2008 1:11 pm ET I just don’t know what all the talk is for. This case is so obvious. Of course this mother is responsible for the death of this child. We will never see this child again. The mother will be punished for just not reporting the child missing/(murdered). She’ll be out in about 2-3 years and plenty young enough to party on. End of subject. |

| Miss K |
August 25th, 2008 1:15 pm ET The mother of this child is under so much speculation, has already been tried and convicted in the public and the media and everyone is frantic to know what happened to Caylee…. but……. she’s out of jail… She decides to stay quiet until she is released from prison in order to cooperate with the investigation…Something’s not right with ANYONE invloved in this case.. |

| Mariah |
August 25th, 2008 1:15 pm ET In my opinion drugs was a factor in this situation. There is no way if someone had this little girl that they would keep her alive with all this news media and everything. Casey Anthony should rot in hell because you never take your eye off of your children and especially not report them missing for a month. They should torture her as much as they possible can until she bleeds a slow torturing death. Look at these pictures of this little girl. HOW COULD YOU LOOK HER IN THE EYE AND HURT HER. Justice will serve her. I will keep Caylee in my prayers until they find her. |

| Lisa Little Rock |
August 25th, 2008 1:16 pm ET In the first 911 call, Cindy Anthony called from her car trying to turn Casey in for the theft of a car and money. No mention of Caylee. What happened with that. This entire family is a stranger of the truth. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. With the time that has passed and the reward offered there is no doubt this child is dead. The grandmother and mother should be held accountable. These things do not just happen. As a grandmother I can assure you, my daughter would be begging to go back to jail once I got my hands on her behind closed doors. |

August 25th, 2008 1:19 pm ET What reasonable mother knows her child is missing yet does not IMMEDIATELY inform the police? If it looks, walks and smells like a rat then it’s a RAT. Casey is guilty of something. The only real question is how long will it take to know the whole truth. |

August 25th, 2008 1:20 pm ET I think that the mother accidentally or intentionally killed her child. The shovel borrowing is very telling. I think that the mother is like Scott Peterson who has not a care for anyone but themselves. I think she “erased” the child and never looked back. Who goes clubbing when their child is missing? “What a tangled web we weave when we practice e to deceived”. I think this is a Socratic quote. It is my mantra many times in life. |
|
| Nene |
August 25th, 2008 1:21 pm ET She knows what happened to this baby. What mother drops their child off and doesn’t call the police when they realize the child isn’t where they are supposed to be. Not only that she partied until she was forced to call the police. She either killed her or knows who did. Poor baby. |

It’s sad that the richest country on earth is turning out our most precious treasure - our future generations with development disorders that could be averted and corrected if addressed in the formative years by wise and proper nuturing. More intervention in dysfunctional families needs to happen. We are far too individualistic as a nation. We need to mind our neighbors’ business and be our brother’s keeper when those people neglect their duties! |

August 25th, 2008 1:24 pm ET With as much money as she has been claimed to have stolen from her grandmother, her parents, her friend, and the stolen gas, as well herself being un-accounted for many days & times..sounds to me like she could possibly be a “crack head” or “meth head”.. even the fact of her abandoned vehicle. Crack heads are known to “loan/rent” their vehicle out in trade of crack.. what if she did the same and forgot that her child was in the vehicle while she was in a crack house.. and the child was possibly asleep in the vehicle and was left inside and this caused her demise, what if she was traded for crack????? When it comes to a crack head.. nothing is impossible.. and for those that say she was drug tested - did they drug test by urianalsys or by a strand of her hair.. My thoughts are that the whole thing is too weird. None of her friends know anything more???? The mom.. she’s an idiot for believing in such lies .. not unless she knows the truth but does not want to lose both her granddaughter and daughter. |

August 25th, 2008 1:24 pm ET Casey’s mother crossed the line when she washed the pants (that smelled like death). It’s understandable that a mother would defend her daughter, however there are moral issues to consider as well. Everyone (Casey, her mother and father) are wishing this would all go away, but it happened and it’s not going away. I would remind the mother and father there are moral issues involved for them as well. While the parent-child bond is strong, engaging in covering up a murder is not something you want to be involved with for your own salvation. |

August 25th, 2008 1:26 pm ET I find this whole situation unbelievable on many levels! First off this family is getting the kind of national coverage that literally thousands of missing children’s family’s could only dream of and they are so unbelievably ungrateful that it makes me sick! This family itself is unbelievable, one is a habitual liar, one is a total nut job, one has very real anger management issues and one believes he is a private investigator. Unfortunately you add to the cast of characters the other crazies ( Biaz, Padilla, the family spokesperson who cannot put a comprehensible sentence together) and the whole thing has become a circus! It is no longer about finding Caylee (if it ever was), it is about covering up for Casey THAT IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT every one of them with the exception of the Padilla’s and I think we all know what that is about. I am not a biological mother but I did take custody of a 16 yr. old boy last year (along with my partner), who for very sad reasons needed us and I can tell you honestly that even in this short time and by no relation I would go to the ends of this earth to find this boy if something happened to him! This seems like it would be the most innate response for anyone with a child, I do not believe the mother is right in the head! I think this child will never be found and I wish the media would give the family what they so apparently want and stop talking about it, showing pictures or anything. Let them stew in their lies and beg for airtime because once everyone is gone I don’t think any of them could keep their mouths shut trying to get their faces back on the television! Narcissism will get the best of this family if we just give them their wish and leave them alone, REALLY ALONE!!! |

August 25th, 2008 1:27 pm ET The alleged “babysitter” may have actually been the trunk of the car. Sad…but the mother is not capable of anything more elaborate. |

| Linda Shaw |
August 25th, 2008 1:27 pm ET The optimist in me surely hopes that this beautiful little girl is alive and will be returned to her family, but the realist in me believes that this little angel is no longer alive. It may be that there was a tragic accident and that Casey panicked, she may be afraid that if she tells the truth no one will believe her. If the truth is that someone has Caylee as a mother and grandmother it is hard for me to understand that she would not think first of her child and do what ever it takes to bring her home, I certainly wouldn’t care what happened to me, I would be singing like a canary to the police. As long as I did everything I could to help find her I would not worry about what could happen to me. Casey’s behavior -dancing in clubs, not speaking to the police (the attorney advice is aimed at a guilty party not an innocent person) that is what leads me to believe Caylee may have had an accident. You just don’t go out and enjoy yourself if your child is missing and you are trying to find her, just doesn’t make any sense. |

August 25th, 2008 1:27 pm ET Casey is a liar, she has no emotions or feelings for anyone but her self, and because of the idiot that bailed her out we may never find out what happened to Caylee, just like the Duckett case for little Trenton, another pyshco mother! |
|
| SANDY HECKT |
August 25th, 2008 1:27 pm ET I think Casey left her in the car and she died,,or she killed her by accident but this Mother did something to her and is just playing games with her Family and LE, she has lied so much she wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped her in the face,,so yes I think not only is she dead , But Casey did kill her… |
|
| Tina Rasmussen |
August 25th, 2008 1:29 pm ET I believe Casey killed her daughter Caylee. A mother that does not no wear her daughter is. All of her story are a lie and the police know it. Casey should go to prison for life. I would never do that to a child. |
|
| Boobie jo |
August 25th, 2008 1:32 pm ET As I recall the mom owes people “friends” money and even stole gas for her car…is it possible she sold Caylee for money or used her as collateral until she can repay someone she owes. Anything could be possible in this case…If the mother knows who has Caylee, how does she possibly know that Caylee is still safe? She hasn’t had any contact with those people she claims have Caylee. She obviously isn’t emotionally upset or worried about not knowing how her daughter is. Caylee is in my prayer. |
|
| Karen |
August 25th, 2008 1:32 pm ET I think since she was stealing money, using her families credit cards and not working she SOLD the child. And she never said anything early on to give whomever she sold the child to time to get out of the country. I don’t believe her or her family. |
|
| Lydia |
August 25th, 2008 1:36 pm ET When one tells a lie it is for one reason….to cover up the truth. When a person is covering up the truth it is usually because they have done something wrong- intentionally or accidentally. Casey has obviously told many lies thus far. Hopefully her conscience will get to her and she will start telling the truth about what happened to her daughter. Unfortunately, similar stories don’t usually have a happy ending. |

August 25th, 2008 1:38 pm ET Casey Anthony did not want to be a young mom. She got sick of having to make arrangements for her child and decided that getting rid of her would be easier. She is not bright enough to think that people might suspect her once this all comes to light. I think she honestly believed in the Barney Fife theory. That police are dumb enough to take her word for it. Well, they’re not. She is an inch away from being caught. She still is trying to play the victim. The only victims here are poor Caylee and the police dept that is wasting thousands of hours and dollars when all they need is one ignorant woman to speak up. I have never believed in karma before but now I want to believe. I want her to get this all back 10 fold. She should be forced to sit in a cell for the rest of her life with pictures of Caylee streaming so she has to live with the guilt of what she did. |

August 25th, 2008 1:39 pm ET My theory is that Casey Anthony left Caylee in the car while she was partying or doing whatever it is she does and that Caylee died from heat exhaustion. It doesn’t take long for this to happen in the hot Florida sun and/or the nightime when it is just as hot. It may have been an accident but her uncaring attitude and manipulation make it hard to have any compassion for Casey. I doubt seriously if anyone will ever know the real truth. Even if someone finds the body of this poor baby now it will be more than likely impossible to find cause of death and this woman will more than likely go free to live her life and have more children. It sickens me and her parents are in total DENIAL. |

| Sarah Stout |
August 25th, 2008 1:40 pm ET The only person that knows what happened to Caylee is her mother. Casey needs to step up and be a mother. She needs to tell the truth for once and lead the athorities to this child. Casey keeps saying that she is protecting Caylee, noone sees any protecting going on. Protecting is bringing that child home. |

August 25th, 2008 1:42 pm ET I think something may have happend to her accidently and she tried to inform her parents that one day where police tracked her phone records. But I can’t figure out why she didn’t call 911. |

August 25th, 2008 1:43 pm ET Im a 25 yr old single girl and although i have no kids of my own yet, I cant conceive the idea that someone would harm such a beautiful innocent child…or any child for that matter. What I dont understand is why there are so many unanswered questions in an investigation that is being followed by an entire nation? Why wasn’t the shovel Casey borrowed tested for DNA? Why dont they just give this woman a lie detector test? Why would she be allowed to make bail when all she has done is lie? And if she’s hiding certain details? Im sorry to say those are lies as well. Im no one to say if this girl is innocent or not, but whatever it is she did and she continues to do is not helping her cause. People like her shouldnt be allowed to see one second of daylight if u ask me, she was a lil girl who trusted the only person she knew to trust from the start and all she did was deceive her. I cant help but think about the dog that saved the newborn in Argentina…it goes to show that even animals have more motherly instinct that these sorry excuse for women. |

August 25th, 2008 1:43 pm ET Here’s my theory: No one has asked, What made Casey leave her parents home with Caylee in the first place? Was she kicked out because of her drug abuse and everything that goes with that. Unquestionably, this woman is a drug addict and these disappearance episodes/tantrums were quite normal for the Anthony household. Needless to say, Casey’s parents are hiding the fact that Casey is a lying drug addict and she may have had a fight with them and left and took her daughter with her to punish her parents. The end result: I believe Casey harmed the child in an altered drug state and is trying to cover up the tragedy. Note: My grandmother always told me, “if you tell a lie, stick to it”. Obviously, Casey is sticking to her lies! |

August 25th, 2008 1:46 pm ET So far there is only one person who can answer what actually happened to little Caylee and that is her mother. Unfortunately, I was correct on my theory during the Susan Smith case and I would almost bet on this one too. My children were around the same ages as Susan’s then and are now teenagers. Never in a million years would a car jacker get away with my girls and I remain alive. Susan eventually had a conscience and broke to tell the truth. This woman is hard hearted, cold, and has no sence of the reality this situation. She killed her child or allowed her to die. There is no way this woman was a great mom one day to not even acknowledging she is one the next without a major catastrophy in between. My firm belief is that the only way this child is alive is if her mom sold her. If she was still with us, she would be home. I am praying for the family. |

August 25th, 2008 1:48 pm ET This is ridiculous, where is the justice for this little girl? Where is she, why cant they find her? Why wont this woman give up the whereabouts of her child? What in God’s name did she wait so long for? How dare they let her go home!!! If it were my child, there would be no way that I would wait a full month let alone a full hour go by without reporting it. This woman either murdered her beautiful child or she allowed her to be murdered. My children are my life, if I lost either one of them, I’d be doing everything in my power to look for them. She needs to have a reason to tell the truth and so far our government is allowing her to keep mum! |

August 25th, 2008 1:49 pm ET I am sickened everytime I see that woman on tv. she has done something to that little girl and soes not seem to care and seems to be enjoying her 20 mins of fame. I do hope and pray that the little lady is ok and will come home soon, but my hope is fading fast that she is ok. I do not understand how a mother can do what she is doing..lieing to the authorities that can get her back if in fact she was kiddnaped. how a ex cop grandfather and grandmother can wait sooo long to ask where a little girl is that lives in the home. I know if my I hadn’t seen my grandchild not living in my home for more than a couple of days I would have big problems with my child as to her location, not waiting a month. |

| Jen C |
August 25th, 2008 1:53 pm ET This is going to sound awful, but please hear me out: I really hope little Caylee is dead. The only reason I say that is because the alternatives to where she is are too horrific to even imagine. I have two daughters who are 4 and 2, and as a mother I would much rather them be gone than to be anyplace that they are being abused in any way. I’m really hoping that we’ll find out that there was an accident, Casey panicked, and just got rid of Caylee’s body rather than call for help. If not, I hope that she’s not being hurt wherever she is. |
|
| Kris Huber |
August 25th, 2008 1:55 pm ET I think Casey could have paid someone to kill her, and helped. She stole money. Have they ever traced what that money was used for?? She has emotional, and psychological problems, that’s for sure. Had her parents ever tried to het their daughter help? |
|
| Lesley |
August 25th, 2008 1:56 pm ET I believe that Casey Anthony thinks she’s smarter than the police I really believe she killed that little girl. She’s heartless. How could |
|
| Nina Carla Arcilla |
August 25th, 2008 1:57 pm ET A lot of speculation but what we’re sure of are the lies that Casey has told investigators. All the lying makes me think that the little girl must be dead (accidental or otherwise). |

August 25th, 2008 1:57 pm ET Okay I’m and sick and tired of these games that this young woman is playing. I’m a mother of two boys and you best believe that if I knew that someone had kidnapped my child I wouldn’t think twice to tell everything I know. This girl is guilty of either killing this child and I really hope that’s not the case but come on let’s get real here she didn’t report her missing until 30 days after the baby went missing what kind of mother in her right mind does that. She playing mind games and the state of FL is letting her get away with it. There is know way that we should not know what happened to this baby. And this guy who bailed her out that said he could find Caylee in a week his TIME is almost Up!! What’s going to happen NEXT???? A Very Confused Concerned MOTHER!!!! |
|
| Kimberly |
August 25th, 2008 1:57 pm ET I believe Caylee is alive. I also believe that the media is heartless. There are relatives of this beautiful girl who are waiting for her return and there are too many people writing death certificates. What happened to Faith? Casey needs support! |
|
| Marita Laurence |
August 25th, 2008 1:59 pm ET Hi, As far as I can gatter by Casey Anthony emotions, she knows exactly what happened to her daughter and she has dealt with it phycologically, the only person she is shedding tears for is her self because she is still alive but Caylee is not. |
|
| duda |
August 25th, 2008 2:02 pm ET So how long are they going to play games with casey anthony and her idiot family? how many run-arounds? how many lies? can’t they charge her with something substantial and set her up a court date, then watch her squirm.. bring in the grandparents for obstructing justice… come on.. what is florida waiting for a miracle that is never coming… |
|
| Jackie Brown |
August 25th, 2008 2:02 pm ET I think she may know what has happened to her child and is covering up for whoever took her child. I want to believe she did not hurt her own flesh and blood, but, some people are just that sick and stupid that they do end up hurting their own. |
|
| Glenda |
August 25th, 2008 2:08 pm ET No DNA results back, no body and no murder charges brought up against Casey Anthony as yet, is leading me to conclude that the mom did not murder her daughter. I am beginning to believe that Casey was as charged a negligent mother looking to have a good time with boyfriends and the bar scene and irresponsibly left her baby with a sitter who she did not know. I believe the baby was irresponsibly placed in to the wrong hands and possibly was sold without Casey’s knowledge. Its a tragedy but I think that she was more concerned with getting her party on and playing house with her boyfriend and her choice will haunt her for the rest of her life. |

| Marva |
August 25th, 2008 2:11 pm ET I believe that Caylee died as a result of a tragic accident. However, it does not explain why her mother panicked, then lied and covered up the death. There appears to be no reason why anyone would kidnap the child … there has been no demand for ransom and no attempt to collect the reward. And, frankly, if Casey is now divulging information as to Caylee’s possible whereabouts and her parents are keeping that information from law enforcement, they should be charged alongside their daughter relating to the disappearance of their granddaughter. |
|
| Sharon B |
August 25th, 2008 2:11 pm ET Casey knows what happened and where her daughter is…. no matter how long it takes, it will all be proven and she will end up in jail either for life or on death row. I feel mental illness also plays a part in this picture - on Casey and Cindy’s part. Casey shows no grief, remorse or concern (except for herself) - just like Scott Peterson, denial, denial, denial. The lies are ridiculous at best. Cindy is also deterring the investigation, saying she didn’t remember going to the Father’s Day visitation with Caylee. Heck ,the date on the missing poster (I just visited the website) says June 9. It should say June 15 or 16th. Mom also washed the pants found in the car, which any idiot knows not to do. I think she did this intentionally to protect her daughter. And she stated the car smelled like a dead body, then changes that to pizza! I feel strongly that once the truth is uncovered, Cindy should be charged at least with interferring with an investigation or false statements(changing her stories). Also, when the grandfather lashes out at the media, Cindy states there are leads coming in that Caylee has possibly been sighted(I think she knows better). It sounds like from the recorded phone call with Casey and her Mom(from jail the day she was arrested) that her Mom & brother suspect Casey was involved. All 3 people on the phone call ask Casey for information. But the Mom has now went on the defensive. Cindy needs to take a reality pill and start facing the truth and stop protecting Casey and misleading the investigation. It seems no one is truly concerned about the baby except for law enforcement & the public. I think the family realizes she’s dead, but they have turned to causing unbelievable confusion and roadblocks, instead of finding the body. Strange lot - all of them. |

August 25th, 2008 2:16 pm ET If you look at her myspace page it states it all on there. In March she said she was getting ready for a huge life change, then while her daughter was missing, she was on myspace talking as if she was having the time of her life. (photos of her parting at a night club) One comment read to a friend “My boyfriend is coming home today, this is the best day of my life” and this was posted after her daughter was kidnapped as she says. She did not want to be a mother anymore, and did not want her mother to raise her daughter, so she either sold her, killed her, or just plain left her somewhere. But the fact is, she has lied about everything and shows no remorse of her daughter missing. She did not look for her daughter because she already knew her daughter was gone for good, the only question is what happened, not who done it. |

August 25th, 2008 2:17 pm ET This case rubs me the wrong way. It was suspicious from the gate and the fact that so much time has lapsed makes it more evident than not that the tot is likely dead. In this case there is no shortage of theories being offered and even those close to Casey have managed to come forward with various media outlets sharing what they know about the disappearance-Nothing. What is clear is that nothing Casey shares about Caylee’s alleged disapperance/kidnapping has been verifiable. If she has been kidnapped like she said, why is she so calm and together as if there is no worry. Does she trust the “kidnapper”? I find it unlikely that she would fall on the sword for anyone and face these charges. If this was a kidnapping? It is not clear what the kidnapper had to gain by taking the child. No ransom not to mention this is not a family with any substanial means. Let’s assume it was a kidnapping with no motive, unlikely but let’s go with it. Wouldn’t any kidnapper look to dispose of the child one way or another by now especially with such crazy media coverage. My belief is the Caylee never left Central Florida and never left Orlando for that matter. She is among us and I am sorry to say not likely alive. It just does not make sense otherwise. I also believe that at some juncture throughout this process that Casey’s mother learned this and she has opted to protect her daughter. I believe at some point she will be implicated: accessory after the fact, with holding information. Something along those lines. What should be of focus is our thoughts and prayers for Caylee and those who truly loved and protected her. I post this hoping and praying that I am wrong. |

August 25th, 2008 2:17 pm ET I think she murdered the girl and hid the body so she could have the “ideal” 20-something lifestyle where she bums off her parents but still goes out every with her “friends” to party and go to clubs and bars. She did NOT once looked concerned for her daughter AT ALL in all those photos from the Fusion night club. |

August 25th, 2008 2:20 pm ET This little girl is dead. The mother is doing nothing more than assuring herself she will die in prison. If, and that is a BIG IF Caylee is still alive, more than likely the mother sold her. But I highly doubt that little girl is alive. Im not so sure the Grand Parents arent involved in it. |

August 25th, 2008 2:22 pm ET When I heard Casey’s tone and bratty, dismissive attitude toward her mother in that first phone call from jail, I was shocked at how immature and selfish she sounded. Like Casey, I also was a young mom; also 22 when my son was three. I was still very young but motherhood had changed and matured me. It was apparent from Casey’s tone in that phone call that motherhood hasn’t done much to mature her. I shudder to think that such a childish creature was parenting a little girl. How many spoiled Casey’s are out there? |

August 25th, 2008 2:22 pm ET This case is pretty strange to me. If it were my kids missing, I would go crazy and I would definitely be cooperating with everyone to get my kids or child back. I pretty much think she had alot to do with her daughters disappearence |

August 25th, 2008 2:23 pm ET This is an extremely sad story. I believe that little Caylee was accidentally murdered, and her mother has been hiding it since. Unfortunately, it’s the only possibility that makes any real since. Casey doesn’t seem like a murderer, and up until her child went missing, has no record of not caring her daughter properly. Why else wouldn’t she report her baby missing right away, unless of course- she knows that something horrible happened to Caylee under her care? Why else would she make frantic calls to her parents one afternoon, and then the next ask to borrow a shovel? Why else has she been telling stories that do not add up or make sense? If she does in fact know who kidnapped her baby, and the police are “investigating this person of interest”, they would have been able to solve this already. I don’t think it takes a genius to figure this one out. |

August 25th, 2008 2:30 pm ET Honestly, I don’t think Casey knows what happened to her daughter. I think that whatever happened, her mind has twisted it around so many times that she can’t discern the difference between truth and fantasy. |

August 25th, 2008 2:34 pm ET My theory seems eloborate but I have been following this case closely and I would think Caylee died accidentally under Casey’s watch. I think Caylee died in the backyard (where the cadaver dogs detected a scent) and by the time Casey came to check on her she was dead a few hours and Casey panicked. I think she called her parents (like her phone records indicate) to get help from them but when they didn’t answer she decided that she couldn’t tell anyone she wasnt watching Caylee- so she threw her in the trunk of her car - went to her boyfriend’s house like she had been doing all along - slept there. The next day went back to her parents with Caylee in the trunk, asked her neighbor for a shovel. Took Caylee out to bury her but couldn’t do it for some reason. Gave back the shovel after only an hour - drove around again with Caylee in the car and dumped her in a lake. Not being able to take the stench/memory she left the car abandoned. She stayed away from her parents home not only because she couldn’t tell them what happened but because she couldn’t be in the same place where Caylee lived. She only came forward when her parents found the car and found out where she had stayed. In regards to a Zenaida Gonzales, I think it was purely coincidental that she knew someone by that name who was looking at those apartments. (probably someone she knew or a family member of someone she knew) |

August 25th, 2008 2:36 pm ET Casey Anthony is my opinion is a liar. I believe that she either murdered her daughter or sold her. I watch Nancy Grace everynight and there is nothing nice to say about Casey. I have a 4 yr old. If my son disappeared I’d have to be locked in mental ward because I would loose it. |

August 25th, 2008 2:37 pm ET If you leave your child at an apartment (where you barely know the people…) to be looked after, and you come back later that day and everyone is gone, wouldn’t you scream bloody murder? Call the police? Call anyone that will help you find your child? Furthermore, why would you conduct your own investigation? WTF? Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows that the police have policies and processes in place to search for missing and abducted children. People, resources, Amber Alerts, News coverage, etc. I truly think that she is covering up the fact that her daughter is dead. I’m guessing it was an accident that she felt she had to cover up with a story of abduction. |

August 25th, 2008 2:39 pm ET As a mother, my heart goes out to this poor child. I dont understand the actions of the parents, I dont think I could accept my daughter behaving this way, how can they defend their daughter? The father was a cop, he has to have knowledge of something sinister happening. If someone is kidnapped you call the FBI or the police, you dont sit on the info for a month. The first phone call of the mother to 911 is VERY TELLING. I believe that the child died accidentally (either the mother accidentally hit her, ran over her, or she may have drowned), and the mother buried her somewhere. How else can you explain the scent of dead body in her trunk? She must have used it to transport her. Whatever happened, I cannot understand her maddening lack of emotion, and the gall of her to party. She should have been denied bail and furthermore, her callousness should cost her to be put into general population of that jail, thats a way stronger incentive than that bounty hunter could give her. I have no sympathy, nor compassion for Caycee Anthony. |

August 25th, 2008 2:40 pm ET I believe Caylee died accidentally. Maybe drowned in the family pool or was left in a hot car, and Casey does not want to own up to it. |

August 25th, 2008 2:45 pm ET In reference to my idea of what may have happened to Caylee, I feel that she got up the ladder and fell in the pool and drowned and that her mother Casey was going to go in the pool also and that is the reason the ladder was left up because she panicked trying to call her parents and acted umpulsivley forgetting about the ladder and that is why her mother. (Cindy) found the ladder up at the pool. She got Candice Johnson |

August 25th, 2008 2:46 pm ET I think that the mother was in some sort of trouble, possibly owed money, and gave her daughter away as collateral until she could pay up. Then she went off and partied it up and enjoyed herself since she didn’t have a kid to look after. The grandmother realized that her grandchild was gone and reported it before Casey could get Caylee back. Maybe she’s been threatened that if she speaks to the authorites and tells what she knows that they will hurt her child. Casey is now trying to work with bounty hunters to get her child back. I pray this child is alive. The whole situation is ridiculous. No matter what happened, how could the authorities release the mother when they knew that she wasn’t being forthcoming?? |

August 25th, 2008 2:50 pm ET I have followed this case closely and have the following comments/questions. Could George Anthony actually be the father of Caylee and the family is covering this up with all the vague comments about the “dead father?” Would DNA testing discover this? By now the media would have uncovered the name of the “dead father”. Thanks! |

August 25th, 2008 2:52 pm ET Whatever happened to this child will hopefully be discovered soon and I suspect that Casey is up to her eyeballs in it. The fact that she waited so long to report this makes me think that she was up to no good or something illegal and poor Caylee got caught in it. She was trying to solve this on her own for the first month? YEAH WHATEVER! Any mother that I know would have called the cops from minute one and not tried to be Nancy Drew herself. The only thing that I can guess is that she is trying to hide her misdeeds or illegal activity that led up to whatever happened to her daughter. She should be ashamed of herself for letting this situation continue on. I think that she has some major issues and I want to know what the heck she was doing on this “shopping spree” (like where and what she was spending this money on when she was supposedly trying to find her daughter) with the card she “stole” from her parents and why they seem to enable her. By the way, wasn’t it Caylee grandmother that reported her missing and not Casey? She was not even going to fess up to her mom what was going down until her mom forced it out of her. What the heck is wrong with this Casey woman? |

August 25th, 2008 2:55 pm ET Casey Anthony, like her mother Cindy, is an habitual liar. Both are spending more time building a defense for Casey rather than looking for the little girl. If that bounty hunter thinks Casey will open up and be truthful he is delusional. Casey is a sociopath and they don’t think in the same way a lot of other people do. She and her mother and probably now Casey’s lawyer are spending more time on her defense and how she will be represented than in looking for the little child - that child is dead. Casey says she doesn’t trust the cops, her father is a cop. I would be looking to charge Casey and her mother with everything the law books would allow and then some. |
