I may not be right about all this but I think it’s close. The only way to know the whole truth is if it’s revealed by someone from or all of the Anthony family, but here’s what I believe right now as the facts have been presented the past few weeks:
Casey Marie, saw her good life fading away day-by-day as she discovered she had a growing child on her hands. Caylee was no longer the little bundle of joy she brought home from the hospital. She was growing into a young person capable of telling others what her mother is up to. Her ability to just pawn her off to relatives was not as easy as it used to be. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone still loved Caylee as much as ever but Casey may have been asked by others “Why don’t you take her tonight? Don’t you think she would rather be with her mother instead?” Or words to that effect. She was also seeing her young, single, unencumbered friends and yearned for what she thought they had. It became clear to Casey what a burden she had. Where she first got Xanax or the idea to even try it may never be known. At some point she saw that she could still party and her baby, unconscious out in her car, would be no trouble. When the Xanax ran out, what could she use? She’d heard of or read that chloroform can be used to render a person unconscious. She even found out how to make it from the internet.
How long she used this method is not known. But at some point she used too much and/or Caylee’s breathing was halted because of maybe how she was laying (like new mothers who want to sleep with their newborns and roll over on them, suffocating them). She probably died in the trunk. She was either left in there for a period of time until she started to smell or was transported in this car while she was, for a time, kept elsewhere (backyard?).
At some point, George found out what Casey was doing (or had done depending on when he found out). After Caylee was dead, George, with his policeman’s background, decided to cover up this accident (maybe because he wasn’t sure if a jury would believe them, again based on his real life experiences) and used tape to cover her mouth which goes along with the abduction theory (not an accident made to look like murder but to make it look like an abduction) – making it look like the abductors were keeping her quiet. (It was applied after she died.) Was a heart found on the duct tape? Who knows (hopefully the FBI has changed their policies and take pictures of any development when they are viewing evidence) and who cares as this is not germane to the case.
Why was her body put in the swamp and not just a dumpster or somewhere else and who put the body there? Maybe George as it keeps Caylee close to home and hopefully her body won’t be found for some time, at least long enough for another story to develop that points away from Casey.
Why would George be part of this cover up? He had already lost his granddaughter and didn’t want to now lose his daughter. Like with the suicide attempt, possibly having an extramarital affair and helping with this cover up, his state of mind which was pretty fragile.
Cindy didn’t find out what had really happened to Caylee until later, possibly not until George’s attempted suicide.
Did George have an intimate relationship? Maybe but this has nothing to do with Casey’s case and has more to do with the mindset of Skye Benhaida and George. Seems like this is a personal matter between George, Skye Benhaida and Cindy.
What Verdict Should Be:
Guilty - Involuntary Manslaughter of a child and failure to report/cover up same; Child Neglect/Endangerment; Lying to and misleading officers of the court
Other Charges Yet to be Levied:
Cindy – Perjury – lied on stand to doing internet search instead of Casey
George – Co-conspirator to cover up of Caylee’s death
José Biaz – disbarred/fined/censured - said in opening he was going to introduce evidence, which he didn’t, about sexual abuse by George and Lee
