Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 11:00PM I shot a new video of the site where Caylee was discovered on December 11, 2008. It’s hard to believe it was two years ago. I really wanted to get this published earlier, but it takes time to edit and upload to YouTube. I hope it’s worth the wait.

The video was a great tribute and reminds us what brought us all here. My biggest problem has been...........I can't get the whole thing out of my mind! I can't help but to focus in on what made Casey Anthony soooo angry that she would take her precious little girl's life. I can't help but to think of Lee, Cindy and George and how their lives got to this point? How do you survive this? Roy Kronk and what went through his mind when he found Caylee? Then, the mud they drug him through? How about Jose' Baez and how will he live with himself for the lies ? Shirley Plesea, Cindy's mother? Cindy's brother? and LAST BUT NOT LEAST..........babs. Where do people like that come from? And why? What purpose do and did they serve? They are women? really? WHY?
This is why I remind myself of what brought me here and how good balances out evil. Kinda like the yin and the yang. Kinda like life itself. It all makes me want to be a better person. Caylee matters in ALL of our lives.
I have added the following name to my list....
New Puppy- the woman who stole Snoopy's sweetheart on Dec 12, 2010
I already share that fickle man with about 50 other women. There is only one that I wont let him near. She is the one I stole him from and she ain't getting him back. I will hog tie him first. ha ha ha ha
On a more serious note, it is interesting to read how some people found Dave and why they stayed.
I have passed the two year anniversary since I started following this case and commenting. I first commented on Dave's blog, Dec 25/2008. It seems like yesterday.
To be honest, SageMom, ugly people just like to be ugly for some strange reason. This is mostly the same group of trolls that have made the rounds attacking others. They saw me in their scopes and honed in on me. It's the same M.O. everywhere they go. Seek out and destroy, only it's not cutting it anymore. They've lost their touch. One of them is as narcissistic as Casey and that's what sucked her into the mess. She hates men and has stated she's on a mission of empowerment to destroy men she decides need destroying. As if she has any real power at all.
I equate her with Casey, lock, stock and barrel. Very narcissistic and hate-filled, with low self-esteem. As a matter of fact, they make Baez look saintly. That's very sad.
It was yesterday, wasn't it, Snoopy? That was a time when my health was on a downward spiral, but I bounced back!
Dave, it was Dec 25th and you were in the hospital with pneumonia. You had your laptop with you and I think you wrote something about One Tree Hill... I wrote two lines in the comment... "I believe Cindy washed Casey's slacks but I could stand to be corrected. I hope you feel better. It is not a nice time of year to be sick." BTW, you did not even notice my comments. I sulked for about a month and then returned to your blog. Life hasn't been the same since, neither has June 15th versus June 16th, I may add. LOL
That I didn't respond to you back then can be excused, considering my condition at the time. I feel bad now because I don't always answer my e-mails and it's not my nature to be that way. I sometimes have a hard enough time responding to comments and I feel bad about that, too. Gee, I feel so guilty.
Dave, thanks for the great video. It is nice to see what it looks like 2 years later. In some ways that 2 years has gone by fast, and in others it hasn't. It does look like someone has been in there clearing some of it out. When seeing this video you can see that she was not that close to the school and the area that Casey went to when she was younger.I still can't get over how close she was to home. I really liked the music you chose to go with this video. Thanks again for taking us back there so we could not only remember, but to see what it looks like 2 years later.
I read the rumor about Jesse's DNA and the private eye, and that is why I only have faith in Dave's blog I know he is telling it like it is. Those other idiots need to go away. Snoopy, could we get Dave his oown reality show? like the man with four wives. I can see it now Dave the Blogger and his fifty women. LOL sorry Dave I just needed to lighten up a little.
Margaret~~I think that would be a wonderful enterprise. Marinade's Merry Margaritas. Reality at it's best . We could plan it to debut a couple years down the road. I suggest he start taking some strong vitamins and start lifting bar bells. Margaret, you could be his number one wife and we could all be chamber maids. I doubt if we would have time to empty chamber pots....if you know what I mean.
We would all go out to work and make him rich.... He is already famous for bringing down the judge.
I'll be back soon. I've got a few things to do right now.
I love the title. We'll be nice Dave. I never would have dreamed it , but I have to go iron, yes iron my granddaughter's hair for a field trip at school tomorrow. Goodnite Snoopy, Dave and everyone, have a great day tomorrow.
I became interested in reading blogs because of the Caylee Anthony Murder, and there were several blogs I bounced back and forth to read. Finally settling on Marinade Dave's but actually was into reading his other posts, like on diabetes and the way he discussed everything with everyone which was nice and that made him more personal. Once Caylee's body was discovered I began to hang in closer to his posts on her because something told me he was living so close and knew the area so well I felt he was a most reliable source other than main media. Of course he has proven that to be true over and over and still.
Snoopy, I'll settle for his shadow hovering around me, if you are agreeable? Celebrities always seem to have to spread themselves between admirers :-)
Goodnight Margaret. Don't scorch your g/daughter's hair. Well, that is one way to scare the man away, suggest a reality show.
I was thinking of a few notable phrases that will be connected to the Anthony case as "if the glove don't fit , you must acquit" coined by Johnny Cochran at OJ's trial. Maybe you folks can think of some.
Casey- "what a waste, pure waste." She was speaking to Kristine Chester on the phone from jail, "calling you guys was a waste, pure waste."
Casey-"will you just give me Tony's number"-phone call from jail
Casey-"I am so angry, I can't even spit right now."-jail video Aug 14/08
Casey- "I did it in a backwards sort of way."-interview with LE at Universal
Cindy-"it smelled like a dead body in the damn car,"- 3rd 911 call
Cindy-" ya know"- repeatedly in all her interviews
George-"you gave me the finger."-deposition re Zenaida Gonzales civil case
Mitnik-"I took my pinky and pushed up my glasses"-deposition ZG civil case
Lee-"Absolutely"- repeatedly during interviews
Lee-"CMA, I will keep my promise"-Memorial for Caylee
Dear Dave;
I found your video at Andrea's blog and was so pleased to see you do a lovely but eerie tribute to the finding of Caylee. I'm sure your videos could lend a lot of credence to the trial. I am hoping
that you will have the chance to prove your skills with the legal system. Surely there is a job out there for you ( I mean freelancing). Dave you never cease to amaze your followers and I know you put your precious time into something so important as this. The instrumental music in the background was very thought provoking and I know it gave me chills to see the path of the killer's last moments before dumping that precious child. I too have wondered about the investigator's presence at that site. Why on earth would they be following a Psychic's directions? Unless they had done this before in other cases, I find it a stretch that they didn't have more information to go on. Can you tell me if they were both deposed and if so what was said. Many thanks Dave.
Sage Mom: You really "nailed Baba"!! You are so right about all the mental hospitals closing, now they all go to Babs to spread their insanity! Wish they would re-open the hospitals back up and take the whole filthy batch of them back where they belong!
Hi, Mary Jo - I'm sure it would still be a little greener and more lush if we hadn't gotten that freeze early last week. That killed of the kudzu, at least. I don't know if someone is cleaning it out or not, but it sure looks like it. Maybe LE sprayed some kind of defoliant in there to make it easier to search for bones. I don't know.
I'm glad you liked the music I chose. I try to find a good match. Thank you, Mary Jo.
Gee, Margaret, my own reality show? What's that show? Big Something?
About that DNA. I just don't believe Casey told Baez she killed Caylee. From that point on, there would have to be a string of people willing to frame someone else, an innocent person, and I can't buy into it. First, would Baez risk losing his licence to save her? Not a chance. Would Dominic Casey? No way. He filed a complaint against Baez with the Florida Bar, or do people seem to forget things like that? Trust me, Casey does not hold some special power over people - that they'd be willing to sacrifice everything for her. Nope. Not a chance.
Margaret, I had a girlfriend who used to iron her hair. Back then, straight hair was happening. I even had it then. Back in the hippy days I parted it down the middle. Now, there's a big, permanent part down the middle and I'm not a hippy anymore. Oh well.
Thank you, New Puppy. Celebrity Schmelebrity. I like to write a compelling story and I'm glad you appreciate that. I will always just be Dave, though. Your words are very kind and they mean a lot to me. That's a fact.
There sure are a bunch of one-liners, Snoopy, with more to come, I'm sure.
Well, hello there, Weezie! It's great to see you and I'm very happy that Andrea linked to my blog. That's very nice.
Personally, I don't think any of my videos could be used at trial. LE has footage from Day 1 that trumps mine, but it's an honor to know you think they might be beneficial. Trust me, if they want them, they are free to use.
I don't believe anyone knew Caylee was in those woods or they would have found her earlier. To me, and had I lived in that neighborhood and known the local children, I probably would have thought about those woods right away. I'm convinced others felt the same way. Whoever dumped that body knew exactly where to do it and fully expect no one to ever find her. That means the perp knew a lot about those woods, hint, hint, wink, wink. Gee, now who might that be?
Jim Hoover has been deposed, I believe, but not Dominic Casey as far as I know. At least, not by Morgan's firm.
Hey... please stop by more often if you can.
Dave~~ Cindy Anthony told LE that she had someone do a 'walk thru' the woods. Dominic Casey was her PI at the time. I am still not sure if Dominic offered his services to Cindy for free. Judging from all the moola that JAC is handing over for Baez' PI's, they don't come cheap.
So, Casey confides in her mother. Cindy sends Dominic to the woods. Dominic was infatuated with Cindy? He risked losing his PI licence if it meant losing Cindy? Cindy was on the other end of the phone when Dominic searched out at Suburban. He went out there on THREE occasions, two of those with Hoover. There is a video showing George and Cindy around the time Dominic went out to the woods. George did all the talking...Cindy looked like a basket case and sat slouched over. It was evident she was very distraught. These are some of the things I wonder about and some I remember.
Dave~~IIRC, in the email exchanges between Dominic Casey and Cindy Anthony also the exchanges with Dominic and the psychics... they literally tried to frame quite a few. Dominic spent more time trying to implicate others than he did searching for an alive Caylee. Why? Both he and Cindy knew Caylee was deceased and it was time to do all in their power to save Casey from prison or possible death.
Cindy blames herself for Caylee's death.
Just my opinions and not facts.
This is the first time, thanks to your video, that I have really felt like discussing the case for quite awhile. Hope you can all put up with me.
I can see some crap going on with Cindy and Dominic, but there was no love lost between Dominic and Jose. After awhile, it seems that people tend to think Casey has some sort of magical power over so many people, that they'd lie, cheat and risk losing their livelihoods all for her. Not just that, but this high school dropout has concocted a secret code and plotted the murder, purposely leaving tons of clues behind. That's a lot of control by a simple, then 22-year-old girl. Some, I might believe, but certainly not all, and what is real and what isn't?
Dave~ ~ well they all cannot be just coincidences. Can you remember when you put up the post about those properties and explained it all out... Zenaida and the Gonzales? I remember we were awe struck and there were alot of oh my Gods. I would still like to know if there is such a plant native to those woods called sawgrass. Then we have the unoccupied apartment at Sawgrass apts and a Zenaida Gonzales who went to look for an apartment. Casey had friends at Sawgrass and used the names of Vicky Aleman's relatives for Zenaida's relatives. It is all very uncanny. I think Casey was smarter than what we give her credit for, in the devious department.
I honestly think she left clues to torture her mother and it was a revenge premeditated murder. I am going to hold to that until it is proven, otherwise.
There was the hand written grocery list that Casey left at home and Cindy found...not a darn food item on the list was for Caylee... Cindy knows way more than what she ever told the LE..especially what really took place on July 3rd...
Well, I have hogged the channel long enough... I would love to hear what others think.. .
You are allowed to hog all you want. There does seem to be a lot of coincidences, and I know some people don't believe in coincidences. I'm not sure what to believe.
One thing for sure, a jury wont be hearing all the coincidences nor any of our speculation. They will be hearing the cold hard facts and then there is the circumstanial evidence. As to speculating, I am not letting Lee Anthony completely off the hook. The CMA promise along with the high five makes you wonder. LE didn't set up that sting operation for no reason when they wired up Lazarro and had him meet Lee. As a result, they didn't gain anything but I do wonder what they were looking for. Hmmm.
We have Mark Hawkins and Brandon Snow's interviews, never released in any doc dumps. We have yet to see Mallory Parker's deposition. We don't even know if Dominic Casey was deposed and, if so, why haven't we seen it? We are awaiting Laura Buchanan and Joe Jordan's depositions along with Richard and Jesse Grund.. Okay, it is time for another doc dump and it should be pronto... as time is running out and deadlines are approaching.
Now I am off to bed... I promise. Goodnight.
Hi Dave. Just got back from visitng my stepmother in Florida. It was cold down there. You must not like this weather too much., I am glad you liked my calendars, Dave I just wanted to say you pick the best music for your vidieos. The moodd goes so well with the content. What a great thing you did by going back to that spot. It must be so heartbreaking, but I am glad that you can show it to all of us to see how important every details is.
Hi Dave
When I went back to your blog about a half hour ago I saw an advertisement for an item I had looked at in an on line catalog earlier this afternoon. I was surprised at first, but figured they had tracked my computer somehow. Since it was on your website, I figured the catalog company must have bought advertising space from you. I hope that the catalogs give you credit when their advertising on your site results in a purchase. I left your site and immediately went to the catalog site to buy the article from them and if it weren't for their appearing on your blog site, I could well have bought a similar item from another company later instead.
I think all of the speculation about the coincidences in this case and what Casey and her family might have thought or done is particularly interesting this evening.
Oh thanks for sharing that video Dave. Very interesting. Have a great week.
Hi Dave! Hope you and your readers are all having a good day today :)
Now, I don't mean to put you on a guilt trip Dave....... but did you get my email? Seriously ;)
I'm sorry, Marsha, and everyone else. I've had a busy day.
Yes, it was cold here and it's even colder today. Right now, it's 45°F in Orlando and it will be in the upper 20s tonight. Brrr. No, I don't like it when it's this cold, but at least it doesn't last all that long. Ireally do like your calendars and I will proudly show them to my friends and family. They are THAT nice.
I try to choose music that fits the occasion. Dec. 11 was not a happy day and I had to play something that reflected it. I'm glad you found it appropriate. I think, now that it's been 2 years, I won't make any more trips to that site. If someone needs another look as the trial nears, I might go back, but I don't think so. I've done a lot of videoing there and to be honest, it is rather somber. I hope that each one of my location videos shows enough detail. I tried to cover everything.
Thanks, Amber! I can look at statistics and other things, but I don't know how the advertising pay structure works. I can see hits, but it may be a while before a purchase comes back to my account. I sure do appreciate you doing that, and I'm sure it was purely a coincidence. If something extra comes into my account, I will let you know, but trust me, no one gets rich doing this. It should help pay the cost of the Web site, which isn't free. Thank you very much for doing that! I don't know how it all works, but you prove that it does matter.
There sure are some strange coincidences in this case, that's for sure.
Thank you, shyloh, you have a great week, too. It's very good to see you.
Katfish - I got your e-mail and I will respond shortly. I've got to get some information about something you brought up.
RHYME AND REASON or
DENIAL ISN’T INSIGHTFUL BUT A DISCIPLE OF MOTIVE REVIVAL WITH NO RIGHT TO ENTITLE OR MISTRIAL
August 5, 2005, a child is born, a time to celebrate and rejoice, a bundle of joy, our little “miss sunshine”….. born into a “boomerang generation” with family dynamics bordering on the dysfunctional already at work. Parenting practices are the forces at work within a family that produce certain behaviors or symptoms. We love our children, especially those grandbabies (we can share quality time together and send them to their home and parents). We want our kids to have a better life than we experienced, so we do many things to help them get ahead. My parents bought my wife and I a washer and a dryer, so we could wash diapers (yes, before disposables) and we didn’t have to go to the laundry mat. Oh, how nice! We greatly appreciated that act of kindness. The “Great Society” progressed steadily for the future generation’s lifestyle. Hard work was the backbone of success but some generations clamber out a bed in the morning and as their “little feet hit the floor”, they say; “what does the world owe me today”? Entitlement!
Well, tough love comes to mind. I’ll help you if you’ll help yourself. Continue to lavish the prodigal child and enter the realm of an unconscious defense mechanism by denying thoughts, feelings, or facts that are consciously intolerable. Denial! But wait, a parent with good intentions, may make excuses for an “entitlement child” to take care of the child experiencing difficulty. Repeated rescue attempts allow the needy individual to continue on a destructive course and to become even more dependent on the “unhealthy caretaking” of the benefactor. Caretaking can become compulsive; the benefactor feels helpless in the relationship, but is unable to break away from the cycle of behavior. Caretaker roles have some of the angriest people you will ever meet since they are trying to change someone. Caretaker/helpers are all about control………………………………. striving for the “power” position. Co-dependency! Denial, Entitlement, and Co-dependency are intertwined and mutually involved in the family dynamics. More later………………..
Sir Walter Scott poems, Marmion (1808) quote “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”. The uncle gave us the first insight into the developing story of the “family dynamics”.
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/5470183/Casey-Anthony-Rick-Plesea-Interview-(Uncle).
The 7 mos. pregnancy was denied in June, 2005 by both parents. Since “no sex” transpired, it could have been the “immaculate conception”, no, hold the fort newt, even with the middle name Marie she was no Virgin Mary. How about the “immaculate reception”, well maybe, but she doesn’t play football for the Steelers. So, that only leaves the “immaculate deception”. Simple denial, a defense mechanism of the immature mind, it conflicts with the ability to learn from and cope with reality. Throw a baby shower for an illegitimate child since the father is deceased? Void of divine intervention, who initiated the denial? Who really wanted the pregnancy?
The “TAKER”…..Steal from your parents, grandparents, piggy banks, and friends to cover your due expenses, place the parents in a financial quandary, quit your job, and lie to cover your life in the fast lane, separate the parties (friends and family) to salvage the lies, by all means pay that cell phone bill, be able to afford a “nanny”, expect it now, and the crux of the matter…………… extend your dependency on parental assistance, join the “Boomerang Generation” and lower your self esteem, while dealing with adversity with no character. Entitlement!
Oh yes, The codependent “CARETAKER” , a few of the traits: (1) an unhealthy dependency on relationships. The co-dependent will do anything to hold onto a relationship; to avoid the feeling of abandonment (2) a compelling need to control others (3) chronic anger (4) lying/dishonesty do any of these fit the enabler? Complex relationships, the co-dependent person is overly involved with the other person and that person’s problematic behavior, and sometimes to other’s detriment. Sound familiar?
Enter the “pawn”…………….( p^on)
N.
1. Abbr. P Games A chess piece of lowest value that may move forward one square at a time or two squares in the first move, capture other pieces only on a one-space diagonal forward move, and be promoted to any piece other than a king upon reaching the eighth rank.
2. A person or an entity used to further the purposes of another:
Etymology:
Though the name origin of most chess pieces is obvious, the pawn's etymology is fairly obscure. Since chess became prevalent in mainstream society, many new uses have derived from the word. "Pawn" is often taken to mean "one who is easily manipulated" or "one who is sacrificed for a larger purpose". The word pawn actually is derived from the Old French word "paon" Because the pawn is the weakest piece, it is often used metaphorically to indicate unimportance or outright disposability, and for example, "She's only a pawn in their game."
Was the child a pawn in the family dynamics?
Quote from Margaret Paul, Ph. D. Senior Magazine:
Takers and caretakers – they often seem to find each other! Takers are people who tend to be narcissistic – that is, they are self-centered with an excessive need for attention and admiration. The taker uses many forms of both overt and covert control to get the attention he or she wants. Takers not only want a lot of control, but are often afraid of being controlled and become overtly or covertly resistant to doing what someone else wants them to do. The taker might resist with denial, defending, procrastination, rebellion, irresponsibility, indifference, withdrawal, deadness, numbness, rigidity, and/or incompetence.
In a relationship, takers operate from the belief that “You are responsible for my feelings of pain and joy. It is your job to make sure that I am okay.”
Caretakers, on the other hand, operate from the belief that “I am responsible for your feelings. When I do it right, you will be happy and then I will receive the approval I need.” Caretakers sacrifice their own needs and wants to take care of the needs and wants of others, even when others are capable of doing it themselves. Caretakers give to others from fear rather than love - they give to get.
Neither takers nor caretakers take responsibility for their own feelings and wellbeing. Takers generally attempt to have control over others’ giving them the attention and admiration they want in overt ways, while caretakers attempt to have control over getting approval in more covert ways, such as compliance, doing too much for others, and/or withholding their wants and opinions.
Because neither takers nor caretakers are taking care of themselves, they will each end up feeling angry, resentful, trapped, unappreciated, unseen, unloved, misunderstood, and/or unacknowledged.
Was the pawn pulled and tugged between the caretaker and the taker? Did the caretaker say ………..stay with me, I’ll appease your needs or did the taker say….. remove the pawn and I’ll gain control? Does the struggle continue after incarceration? The caretaker ogles at the adjournment of court with amorous glances seeking recognition as the benefactor. The benefactor testifies “she’s still alive”, the pawn is with me, ur in danger of losing control? Check! The “Entitled Princess” withholds the smile, nod of approval, and avoids eye contact in recognition to the benefactor, the pawn was sacrificed. Sorry Charlie…………….. I win, Checkmate!
Deception is a false reality imposed on a true reality. It is a fragile and complex weaving of truth, half truths', lies and lies of omission. To successfully deceive another or several people, one must be skilled in the art of deception. To create a deception worthy of belief one must be able to create plausible details that help create the illusion of truth. It is the details that people listen to and remember and the one deceiving is obligated to remember these details in order to avoid having the lie exposed. The problem with remembering the lies we tell is that all people are basically good and we tend to forget the bad things we've done. In order to successfully perpetuate deception, the liar must be willing to live that lie when necessary…………………………..
This becomes the tangled web we weave, especially when first we practice to deceive.
Great job on the video Dave. So tragic what happened to that poor little girl. Like Judge Perry said the other day though, the trial is fast approaching. Not a day too soon. Casey Anthony should be put to death.
It is hard to believe that it has been two years since Caylee's remains were found and 2 1/2 years since she was murdered.
Thank you Dave for filming the video, it was almost like being there. I really brought it all together as to where Caylee's remains were found. It really was hard to watch Casey Friday, playing with her long shiny/wavy hair, looking into the camera and hoping everyone was looking at how pretty she looked today. Did she forget why she was there, her murdered daughter? I would like to think she would be getting very nervous with the months going by very fast at the trial date approaching at record speed. I thought that maybe she had finally gotten it at the last hearing when they were talking about the Death Penalty but apparently not. She was her old Casey self, did not even look at her Mother much less say hi to her. Oh well, she will get her just desserts very soon.
Thanks again Dave for all you do for us. We are finally dug out of the horrible snow storm we had this w/e. We were in the house for two days but finally went out today. The roads are still not good, ice and snow packed but the kids had fun today, no school, so they were out playing in that snow. Guess you have to be a kid to appreciate cold weather and show up the ying yang. We are headed to the Texas Gulf Coast for the winter, the day after Christmas, it can not come soon enough.
hi dave, it is unreal to think so much time has passed, and so so sad to see the video of where it all took place, thank u so much for doing such a fantastic job, being so far away it seems unreal that this could even happen and yet it is so real, only for you i would have lost touch with this case along time ago, you post such detailed information and it is great to read the other comments and get a sense of how people are thinking. so once again thank you for keeping me informed and even though the video was so sad it was done beautifully,, take care and keep up the gud work :)) cinta
hi again .. just had to say as i type this my own little girl is now two yrs and 3months old (and not in her own bed lol) and she is so full of fun and of course cheekyness ... i cannot no matter how i try to get my head around it figure how a mother could do this to a little beautiful girl , it makes my head pound just trying to fathom it in every scenario ,, i will never find any state of mind an excuse for doing this and if im honest i know she would have to be crazy to do it but yet i cant explain it i dont think she is insane ,, oh i cud go on forever on the hows and the whys so i will just pray that she will get wat she deserves.. sorry for the rant dave but i think the video just brings it close again .. take care ;)
Dave, have I missed something? I just can't for the life of me understand why Cindy would be so Quick to throw Jesse to the wolves. I read where he had taken a stand for Casey over Cindy. IMO and all I know is what I have read, but Jesse seems like the kind of person that you would love caring for your daughter. It was obvious he loved little Caylee, even though he was not her dna dad. It takes more than dna to be a dad. He seems like an honest , hardworking young man with a loving family behind him. I know they said he was a little controlling of her, but lets face it , she needed.a little controlling. Did you see the short video of Casey coming into court room, At first she was just standing there looking down, and she actually looked so sad and pathetic and then when she stepped into the courtroom, her head came up and a big smile lit her face almost as if someone said action. It was such a quick change. Could she possibly resent her mother for coming to courtroom and maybe stealing some of her thunder. someday I hope she will answer this question .
Well, boxcarbob, your comment overwhelmed me. You did a lot of work on it and it shows in the quality and depth of your message. I think that everyone should read your piece, and I have one question for you. First, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts here. That's a solid article, and it leads me to something you should ponder. Would you be interested in being a guest writer? I sure would like you to give it a thought or two because you captured a lot of what went haywire in that family. It's a must read.
Thank you, Yvette. May is not all that far away, and I expect this trial to be huge. All that we've wished for will finally come to fruition.
Hi, Peggy - Yup, Casey seems to thrive in the spotlight, and I sometimes wonder if she really knows the scope and depth of the trouble she's in. By the time the trial comes around and she hears the evidence against her by the likes of Jeff Ashton, she'll change her tune. She's going to hear things no one has ever told her, like the moment he yelled out that her eyes were the last thing little Caylee ever saw.
Thanks for appreciating the video. I'm in no hurry to go down there again because it's such a sad and lonely place. Please stay safe in that awful weather. If it's any consolation, it's 38 degrees here and a hard freeze is coming tonight. Thanks for you kind and encouraging words, too, and stay safe.
Hi, cinta - It is hard to believe so much time has passed, but one thing I notice as I get older is that time does fly the older we get. Thank God for mothers like you. I don't know how anyone could commit murder, but an innocent child? No way! There is no excuse for it.
I want you to know that as long as you continue reading here, I will continue writing about this case. After it's all over, I will go on to other things, but I do hope to keep up the good work. Thank you very much, and please give your beautiful little girl a big hug for me.
Oh my, Margaret, you are right, it takes more than DNA to be a father, and we all know it wasn't enough for Casey to be a good mother. No one ever noticed that in her. Yes, I saw her walk into the courtroom and you know something? She doesn't impress me in the least.

Another money hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in the case against Casey Anthony.
Meanwhile, photos taken of a second autopsy on Caylee Anthony's remains have been turned over by the defense to prosecutors in the case.
Dave,
Thank you for the video. You did a wonderful job on it. It gave me a clearer picture of the neighborhood and the seclusion of the site where Caylee was found. It would not have been difficult to unnoticed. I think that Casey could have put Caylee there by herself. It is remarkable how strong a person can be when they need to and especially if they are panicked and the adrenaline is flowing.
I think there was plenty of time for Casey to rinse/wash off any mud or residue from the shoes she was wearing. Considering it was summer she most likely wore flip flops. I don't think Casey would have spent a lot of time on what outfit she would wear to dump the body. I've written this before but I think Caylee drowned in the pool while Casey was distracted. I'd like to know who she was talking/texting too prior to sending a flurry of unanswered calls to Cindy. Calyee drowns, Casey panics. She immediately calls Cindy but gets no answer. Her head is spinning and she decided to hide the baby as she is seeing Tony L later and does't want to mess that up..She wraps Caylee in a big garbage bag and then puts that inside the laundry bag and places her in trunk. She doesn't know what to do and goes to Tonys. They go out and rent a video while Caylee is laying in trunk. Casey spins stories of where Caylee is. Casey ignores the smell from the trunk as much as possible, puts her own spin on it being dead squirrels but finally realizes Caylee must be moved out of her car. She backs into her parent's drive and borrows a shovel from the neighbor. Then realizes that Caylee is now leaking fluids from her mouth, nose, eyes. This leakage is going to get all over everything unless she stops it with something and sees the duct tape. She applies duct tape to Caylee's face, puts baby back in the laundry bag and is frantic for where to hide her. She knows the old woods down the street are where kids used to joke they'd hide a body there. She pulls up, gets her heavy laundry bag out of the trunk and proceeds to make her way in. She's in good shape she can carry that bag in a little further. 30 lbs might be a lot of weight but Casey was young and she probably had some adrenalin pumping to help too. She drops the bag under a dense tree and then from there goes into complete denial mode something she is very comfortable with. And the rest of the characters just pour on.
What do you think? Is this plausible?
Dear Dave,
Thank you so much for the new video. It brings everything to mind--including Zenaida-Gonzalez houses---havent forgotten that post as it has always clarified to me what happened and Casey's mindset and also started my interest in this case. I can just see Casey driving along coming to a screaming stop, jumping out, rushing to the trunk, and tossing that trash out and driving off fast before anyone sees her. Hope you are having a good day.
