I just finished reading an update on the missing child in FL. I am more disturbed now then I was before because police found possible decomposition smells, dirt and hair in the defendant’s car that match the child.
Casey lied to her own parents about having a job, about the babysitter, and where she was staying. Maybe part of the key to finding the daughter will be to figure out where they had been staying the past month prior to the report of the missing child.
Now, I have a big problem with the fact that her mother, Cindy, seems so willing to believe her. Could this blind way of acting be one of the reason’s Casey felt the need to lie to her parents to begin with? Children who feel a lot of pressure to always be perfect and exceed often lie to parents rather then risk disappointing them or asking them for help.
I don’t believe the child is alive. I believe Casey killed her and buried her somewhere that makes sense to her – someplace accessible by her car and not far from a roadway. Maybe she’d bury her in a favorite place of the child. Maybe the mother fell on hard times and reached the end of her rope – killing the child rather then trying to continue to support her. I’ve read stories of people who lock their children in cages, closets and basements because they can’t afford to pay a babysitter when they go to work. Maybe this is something like that which ended up getting out of control causing the child’s death. Maybe Casey didn’t want to admit to her mother that she couldn’t take care of the little girl – after all, she lied to her about having a job.
Unable to face her parents or the consequences of the death, Casey may have thought she could just get rid of the child’s body and no one would be the wiser. She might have gotten away with it if family hadn’t started asking about her.
Maybe she drove around with the body in the car until the parents started pressuring her – that would account for the smell of decomp. At this point, I think Casey really needs to come clean about what happened, tell the police where the body is, and deal with the consequences. The longer it drags on, the guiltier she looks and the more sane because she is working so hard to cover it up…which would blow her chance at an insanity plea.
I don’t think her mother is helping her any by declaring the girl’s innocence. She should be demanding her daughter tell the truth rather then making excuses for her to lie. Quit telling her what a good mother she was – instead tell her that she needs to tell them what happened and that, whatever it is, as her mother she would forgive her. That would give Casey the emotional and mental support she needed to tell the truth and get it all off her chest.
Of course, that is all my opinion which doesn’t count for much in this day and age.

I believe there is more to the story, than what grandma and grandpa are telling. They can not be that dumb, that they did not see what was going on. I believe there are more people involved, just look how the grandmother has changed her story in several occasions. If this was my daughter and she does something like this, I will not collect money or even find a lawyer until she fully cooperates.
