Casey and Caylee Anthony
A reader has asked for my opinion on Casey Anthony. This is a strange and haunting story coming out of Orlando. Apparently, from what I read in the news, a 2-year-old little girl, Caylee, has been missing for five weeks, but her mother, Casey, never reported her missing.
The police have questioned Casey, but all they get are lies on top of more lies. Friends describe Casey as a “habitual” and “compulsive” liar (Fox News).
Casey is telling police that she left her daughter with a babysitter five weeks ago, and when she went to pick up her daughter, the babysitter and her daughter were gone, yet in a strange twist, she told no one. Instead, she continued on in life as if nothing was wrong. She lied to her family and friends until they became suspicious.

Casey’s mother tried to track down the babysitter, and found her, but when the police asked her if she recognized photos of Casey and Caylee, and she said she did not.
I have been unable to find any video of Casey talking to police.
Police, however, are saying “It should be noted that at no time during any of the…interviews did the defendant show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child.”
Clearly, anyone can see something is terrible amiss with this mother. Logically, one plus one doesn’t equal two. A mother who cares about her daughter would be concerned, would report her missing, and would tell the truth. But this is not happening with Casey.
Either Casey doesn’t care, or she is seriously ill, and suffers from a mental illness. Neither of which can be ruled out.
I don’t think I have anything noteworthy to contribute to this case at this time, but if anyone sees any video of Casey or anyone else important to this investigation talk, I’d be more than happy to share what I see. If I can help, I will gladly do so.
I did see some video footage of Casey online from Nancy Grace, and in that video Casey is gloating as the cameras pan on her as she is being led by police from one location to another (starting at time marker :05). Her eyes are glowing with excitement. She is clearly enjoying being in the spotlight, and being deceptive about her daughter.
Can we assume Casey killed her daughter? No, we can’t. A number of things could have happened to her daughter–many of which are horrible to think about, but Casey definitely knows the truth and she isn’t sharing it, and that doesn’t bode well for Caylee.
