The meter reader found what they believe to be Caylee's body, with duct tape over the mouth in a garbage bag in the brush in Florida nearby a work site. Bones were also found. Forensic scientists are expected to determine by either evidence of stab wounds or bone fractures- or by just the tape they will determine she was suffocated- the duct tape also tells us the child was silenced. The soft tissue over the mouth also can tell us whether the child was alive for a time and struggling, or not. Because the body was found in a previously searched area during a flooding time and not found when the waters were high, the defense is going to try to say that the body was placed there after Caycee was in custody and therefore Caycee is innocent.
Caycee is officially charged with murder, premeditated, one, at this point and is on psychological watch in her cell- yeah right, as if she is going to kill HERSELF? She is far too selfish to do that; she wanted Caylee dead so her life could go on and she could party and be free of responsibility. She is not going to kill herself, she obviously cares more about making her life all it could be than even her own child...
Caycee's parents have insisted all along that Caylee is alive, and that she would be found. I can only imagine their grief at this time.
Prosecutors now say that they WILL seek the death penalty for Caycee in light of this new evidence.
I am pleased that Caylee's remains were not found melted down to nothing in the garbage bag, because now the bones and remaining skin cells can be tested for DNA and for signs of trauma and evidence of what happened to Caylee in the last hours of her life. The garbage bag that smelled so horribly in the trunk of Caycee's car WAS next to where Caylee's body was stored, for a time, in the trunk until Caycee dumped her daughters body in that brush. The duct tape and possible chloroform poisoning suggest that Caycee may have drugged Caylee to get her to pass out, taped her mouth to keep her silenced if she came to too soon, and then she either suffocated her to death or beat her to death- probably suffocated her to death- and put her body in a garbage bag and put her in the trunk; she was obviously in there for at least a day or two because there was evidence of decomposing human flesh that has leaked into the carpet covering in the trunk of Caycee's car.
I hope and pray that Caylee was suffocated in her 'sleep' as horrible as that is to say because that way she would have suffered the least as her own mother murdered her.
I will not give up on this case. I will follow the way Caylee is brought to justice, and I will pray for Caycee's soul when they put her to death. She is only 22 years old, not even 24 as previously reported. She had Caylee when she was 21. I had my first child when I was 19 and he is 13 now; I will never ever be able to understand how a mother could kill her own child so that she could be free; I still liked to go out and wished I could have more when I was 20 and 21 and 22, but you know what- I loved my child enough to sacrifice for her good and did not go out as often as I would have been able to if I did not have him. But then, I am not mentally ill. And it is clear that Caycee has been for a long time. The defense is not seeking an insanity plea, curiously- and I wonder why. Anyone have an suspicions as to why they aren't?

When I heard about this, it just broke my heart.
It makes me want to cry.
1I know, girl- I sat and cried for a long while. I knew in my heart she was gone, I just didn't know how much she had suffered. God have mercy, on Caycee's soul.
The only thing that can bring me and Caylee's grandparents and father and friends and family ANY comfort in this is that God WAS with Caylee while she suffered, in her short life in the shadow of her mothers neglect and at her hour of her murder at her own mother... He was there, to comfort her, hold her mentally, bring her home as soon as possible as Caycee was most likely suffocating her, so that He could wipe every tear away.
Caylee is happy in Heaven now, and in the Fathers arms. The best place to be!!
Her mother Caycee is stuck in a jail cell on 24 hour watch now, charged officially with First Degree Murder. They WILL seek the death penalty now.
That is the worlds justice; she killed so now she will be killed.
God's justice- repent and ye shall be forgiven. Let us all pray just as hard as we have ever prayed for anyone or for anything that Caycee will repent; there is a soul at stake! If we do not and satan gets one more soul away from God, I would not want to have my hands dirty with the shame that I did not pray for her when I had the chance to.

2I'm betting that she'll change her plea to include an insanity defense.
Justanerd - Where do you get your information from? You have a lot of insider details that I haven't read in the MSM. This whole case is just a tragedy. Do you think Caycee's parents knew/had anything to do with the baby's death? I get such a bad vibe from the grandmother.

I don't trust the grandparents. I think they know things. They know their own daughter and her shortcomings and they helped shape her into this person. If I knew my own daughter had issues I would not try to cover them up.
4Bren - That's exactly how I feel. It bothers me that the grandmother reported that the car "smelled like death" and said that she didn't think the baby was alive & then changed her story so quickly. I think she, at least, knew that soemthing wasn't right & she's trying to protect her daughter at the price of her granddaughter.

5Be the change you want to see in the world ~Mahatma Gandhi
I also think the grandparents may have had their suspicions, but maybe since they didn't know for sure they didn't say anything so that they didn't implicate their daughter? I don't know. I've been following this case all along. I'm not happy they found her body, I wish they would've found her alive...but I'm happy that the prosecutors can finally nail that mother to the wall with a strong defense because they do have the body. I was afraid she'd get away with it if they didn't find her. This story is truly so sad. My mom had me when she was 22, and I could NEVER in a million years imagine she'd hurt me. Caycee must be truly messed up in the head.

It is necessary to try to surpass oneself always; this occupation ought to last as long as life.
6From what I have read, the grandmother refused to let Caycee put Caylee up for adoption--with an old friend who was married and unable to have children.
I would not be surprised to find that the grandmother helped Caycee dispose of the remains. I'm convinced that she helped somehow with the coverup.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -- Alexis de Tocqueville
I supervised a "protective services" unit, that dealt with investigating child neglect and abuse unit. It probably was the most rewarding and heartbreaking job I ever held. The unit I supervised were probably the best I ever worked with. We were all volunteers for the assignment. After two years, I couldn't handle it anymore, it was turning me into an alcoholic. I told the Administrator he could transfer me to any location, give me any assignment, as long as it did not involve children.
8Lainetm: The taped conversation between the Daughter and Grandmother, MSN plays that tape from inside the jail. That conversation gives me the creeps! I could tell there was something unholy between the two of them. (I could be wrong)
9There has to be something wrong with the grandparents. Seriously, how could you claim your daughter was innocent when she never even reported the child missing. This case is just bizarre and terribly sad. This probably sounds horrible but the poor child is probably better off out of this world than being raised by either the mom or grandparents.
10the grandparents are crazy and to blame and the mother needs the death penalty,
11From the time I heard about this case in the summer, I shook my head and said, "Caylee is dead, and Casey killed her. WHY are the letting her give them the run around?!"
There are a lot of reasons to blame everyone in this case, really. The grandparents, while I don't think they knew EXACTLY what was going on, knew enough to be assured that Caylee was in serious danger. The fact that their daughter Casey told them and the police and the FBI a bunch of LIES that didn't even make sense, much less be valid, should have made it clear that something terrible had already happened, and Casey had something to do with it.
I don't know...they've got evidence to prove what everyone else has know for 6 months. Only Casey Anthony knows the details of what she did to Caylee and why, and she obviously still thinks the ball is in her court. We may never know exactly what happened, but Casey knows what she did and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
* I'm the same age as Casey, and while I could see where having a kid would be a drag on your social life [if your social life was partying and clubbing and being out all hours of the night]...but all the same, she gave birth to Caylee, it was her JOB to protect her daughter, all the crap she wanted to do should have come second to Caylee's needs. I know a lot of 22 year olds who do have children, and are still able to have fun and make sure their kids' needs are met and exceeded.
[and why is everyone spelling Casey's name "Caycee"???]
12This is so unbelievably sad. That poor, poor, sweet, innocent baby.
13Trixie, I just watch a lot of Nancy Grace and I think I heard this new info. on Fox news that morning; I don't usually watch Fox but I was flipping through and heard them talking about Caylee so I stopped and watched. Some of the stuff I believe/believed about the case I just put together in my mind based upon past experience with social work at DCYF in the child abuse division.... I thought that Caycee might have melted Caylee's corpse because I had heard about some of the searches she had done online looking for 'murder' and 'getting rid of bodies',etc, and I knew that mob members had been known to get rid of ALL evidence of a body(grind it up in a wood chipper and feed it to pigs because they will eat anything, melting them in vats with acid, feeding them chopped up to the animals in the city zoo overnight-- yeahhh, the stories out there are nasty) and I figured that if Caycee was looking up that other stuff she was vary likely to have heard about the mob's body removal methods as well; Oh well, I get kind of worked up by these things because my dream from early adolescence was to be a Family Rights lawyer, to help protect other kids from being abused and used.
Everyone else, my God! I never suspected an unholy alliance between the grandmother and Caycee! The thought of that just makes me SICK!! I will have to listen to those tapes more closely.... I have believed that Caycee's parents were gullible(at least her Mom was) and believed, or at least conceded to, her lies- because they didn't want to believe that Caycee would abuse her daughter, let alone kill her. I believed that they were in denial, especially the mother- at least the father was able to say 'yes, she was a liar' and 'no, I didn't trust her' and 'yes we did ask her to let Caylee stay with us when she left our home mad'- the mother sounded cross when she talked to Caylee on the line, but unabashedly supportive and unconvinced by the prosecutors claims and Caylee's dissapearance. They would not allow her to give the baby up for adoption?s I had no idea about that! I can understand why they wouldn't want her to give their grandchild away, but if that's how they felt about it- then they should have taken her in! Caylee I mean, not Caycee. Maybe they felt so strongly that Caycee have a close relationship with Caylee that this is what drove them to house both of them, their daughter and her child, all the way through 22 years old they did not require Caycee to work and she worked very little during her time at home; the claim that Caycee made that she was leaving Caylee with this sitter all day while she was at work was a lie; she worked a very short time for Universal Studios in Fla. and was fired, she didn't work anywhere after that- it isn't like Caycee's parents did anything wrong by keeping both of them in their home, I would help my daughter by having her live with me with her child if she had a baby young and while she was still getting her life together as an adult, or even as a grown woman is she were to go through a divorce(what parent wouldn't?), BUT, if I knew my 21/22 year old 'child'(really, young adult) was acting like she was CRAZY then I would have sought to get custody of Caylee; I know that Grandparent's have very little legal rights even still today, yet I would have fought the fight till the end; I just don't feel that Caycee's parents fought hard enough and long enough to get Caylee.
Idk if I would say that Caycee's parents should get the death penalty, but I will say that I wish they would have done more....and I bet they are feeling the same way right now

14Margo, I agree with you completely!
I keep spelling her name Caycee because that is how she had it on her MySpace, but yes her name is actually spelled Caysey, legally- on her birth certificate.

15Grandpa, I can so relate- as a Social Worker for KidsPeace and a Gaurd/Suprivisor at the Youth Shelter here I had never felt so... helpless. That is the word, yes- my hands were tied fast by legalities and red tape; I could no more help those kids half the time than I could miraculously heal myself from cancer, if I'd had it. It was a frustrating and thankless job in many ways(I mean, you couldn't really do your job of protecting those kids on your charge half the time, and the birth parents hated you, DCYF hated you-because you were the one checking in on them,making sure their SW's were doing their jobs, the authorities hated you because they were annoyed by always being made to be accountable to all of these children by Kidspeace, and for me even most of my co-workers and then my boss at the one office got mad at me when I made a stink to the higher up's-my boss wouldn't do a thing- about laws being broken and needing stricter guidelines for SW's- which did mean a lot more work for us- but we shouldn't have cared-),and,in other ways, it was a great job, because there were always those kids that you COULD help, the one's who got away-away from the parents I mean and adopted into a loving family who wanted them and would love them. SW's make crud pay though, I will tell you that.
Doesn't it say a lot about our society and culture as American's that we pay the folks put in place to protect the kids barely better than a firms secretaries, while we pay Baseball Players out the nose??

16its just so sad to think someone could do this to their child.
17I cannot believe someone would do this to their child. It makes me sick. I do think the grandparents knew something. Maybe they knew deep down, but couldn't face it. How could you? I had my daughter when I was 22 and yes having a child young really cuts off your social life, I guess, but I wouldn't change it for anything at all. I just don't understand such cruel selfishness. I am now 34 and cannot seem to conceive although they can't find one thing wrong with me or hubby, so thank god I did have one when I was young, because now my chances are looking slim. So many people want kids and this sick twisted evil woman would kill her child. sick.
18WHen my father read she was found in a bag... I cried... we both cried. Then I GOT REALLY ANGRY. I said what I'll say here... SHE SHOULD BE BURNED AT THE STAKE THAT PSYCHOTIC f*ck! She is MEGA psychotic. I read all about this case, and this b*tch was absolutely remorseless... also totally distorted thinking no one would ever find out, PLUS acting totally strange all along, when asked 'where's your daughter?' basically brushing off such questions with things like, "Oh don't worry..." and "I don't know" as she was 'PARTYING' literally. My father and I both think the sicko just didn't like being "tied down" figuratively, that is, with a kid and all that goes with it. Because almost RIGHT AFTER she murdered her own daughter, she was seen/heard out partying! Shows you how sick in the brain she is/was... STILL IS. BURN HER at the stake... there is NO punishment too severe for her. NONE! Make it the most painful, the most long lasting torture ever. Let's get medieval on her ass! Iron Maiden, drawn and quartered... don't stop. Make sure she pays!
Life in prison? NO WAY! Nowhere NEAR harsh enough... she should suffer and die... SOON, NOT later. Now would be ideal.
19I know, guys- I suffered a lot of really F'ed up psychological and physical abuse at the hands of my mentally ill Mother (Bipolar, she refused medication) all my childhood years, until I was finally taken away and whisked off to Foster Care at the age of 14- but she never actually KILLED me! A couple of times, she almost choked me to death just torturing me, but even she totally freaked out and started panicking and trying to help me when she thought I was dying! Caycee totally freaking PLANNED her daughters murder and CARRIED IT OUT IN SECRET, LYING ABOUT WHERE CAYLEE WAS THE WHOLE WHILE!- and that is SO much more F'ed up than my Mother EVER was!! There is NO doubt that Caycee is Mentally Ill, or a Psychopath.
Caycee might very well be one of those Psychopaths who are beyond mentally ill and actually then go into the scale of 'Non-Human', because they feel No Connection to other human beings, Not even their own kids, and they are Incapable of feeling ANY true remorse when they hurt another person.
I hope Caycee Anthony stays in prison for the rest of her life, and that she comes to a point of repentance- or God won't be ABLE to help her soul!
