What follows here is speculation, merely opinion. It is MOO and the opinion of two others. It, in no way implies fact and is open to comments and additions.
Part III: The Coverup
Cast: Two Teams: Team A: GA and CA
Opposing Team: KC
The coverup begins almost immediately with a rough idea which was: stage this to look like a kidnapping, that way no one will go to jail. That’s why the car was left at Amscot, to look like they were both kidnapped. Purse and doll in the car. At least, that is MHO. Initially, the plan was, I’ll help you and not tell your Mother, if you don’t. We will keep this between us thing. No one will know, bec I don’t want to see YOU in prison. In reality he didn’t want to see himself in prison. However, that was the leverage he was holding over her head. Shortly, the teams will change.
When Ca arrives home on 6/16, GA is at work. When he does comes home, he tries to act normal. His mind is racing, but he knows he must display a normal exterior. Not too difficult as she sleeps early bec she gets up early, and he stays up later. So he can pull this off for a couple days while he thinks, plans and calculates. Whenever she asks questions, he is evasive. Purposely so. He is stalling for time.
On 6/24 he calls and reports the gas cans missing. This brings a police report into the situation to validate that something was amiss here at this residence. GA is distancing himself from the crime and w/ the argument (did it really happen?) sets up KC. He implies she didn’t want him to go into the Pontiac to get the blocks to set behind the tires so he could change the oil. Then he states that their conversation turned into more ”funny business”, implying an argument and she gets angry for no apparent reason and says, “here’s your fu..in’ gas cans.” He is setting her up to the police by making her appear to be tempermental, unstable, etc., not to mention a thief. He is throwing her under the bus.
On 6/27 when the car is left at Amscot, supposedly bec she ran out of gas, this was supposed to be the stage for the planned kidnapping, IMHO. However, for some reason, (CA is suspecting too many things?) GA had changed the plan, unbeknownst to KC and now he and soon CA will factor in the car as part of the A’s own escape/ distancing plan.
On 6/30, after not seeing or speaking with her granddaughter for 2 weeks, after reporting that someone was swimming in their pool, CA and GA decide to redo the backyard area of their home either w/ pavers or concrete. She said in sworn testimony that the grass would not grow back there. Potentially extensive project to do 5 days before the 4th of July weekend. Have they in their talks discovered something that they know they need to cover up back there? Why won’t the grass grow?
(Misty) And perhaps Casey was supposed to do something on July 3rd and she didn’t show up. Or maybe during one of those cell phone calls CA confronted KC over the phone after hearing the truth from GA. With that KC knew that CA knows what happened and says to herself “game over.” She gets a tattoo. She feels betrayed by GA, because he had promised that he would not tell CA, but he reneged on the deal. (This is why GA is begging LE to talk to KC alone. That he doesn’t really like JB. The real reason is so he can her back into the circle. He knows KC will tell her lawyer about the sexual abuse. In essence, she will tell on GA.)
(NTS) Or, was there supposed to be a trip to California where she would report a kidnapping but they waited too long? Did KC not want to leave TL? Exactly what happened to foil the original plan, I am not sure, but the moment CA becomes aware of what has happened, the game does change. Except KC is left out in left field with only the original plan.
After 7/3/08, for sure, CA knows what has happened. She is frantic but somehow must regain control. She sends Lee to find KC. Finally on 7/15, only after finding AH’s #, contacting her is she finally able to go get KC. KC amazingly returns to the A’s home.
Here’s we go now. Are we ready. The 911 call.
Part IV
The 911 Call
When KC returns home w/ CA, the situation is tense to say the least. CA, as always, has to be the dominant. KC doesn’t know what is going on. There are words between them, but no real communication. In the absence of direct communication between GA and KC, the original plan is no more. KC is reluctant to talk to CA and this makes CA even more furious. Where is Caylee?
Finally, CA makes the calls that I admit I have wrestled with. Were they genuine? Or were they staged? I have come to rest on the spot that both GA and CA planned them. KC stuck to the story line as was originally laid out by GA, but he has switched sides. And she is out there on a limb with no way to get home. Because they had not communicated, their stories don’t sync up. (Editorial comment: But you see, how great God is. It is a good thing that they did not, because if they had synced up, think what could have happened.)
CA will later testify that the she said that about the “car smells like a dead body” just to get the cops to come out there quicker. On the phone you can hear that KC sounds flatline. She realizes that she has been offered up as the lamb to the slaughter. She knows she has no body to prove her story. She knows that her father, who had said he would protect her, has betrayed her. She knows that she has a bad history of taking money from her parents. She knows she has lied in the past, and she knows that no one is going to believe her. And she knows that others don’t know. She knows that there is a huge secret in the A household behind Door #1, and that no one is going to come from behind that door to save her. That is until she meets JB.
This has been my attempt to piece together all these disparate pieces floating around prior to the phone call. After this call, all hell breaks loose and the media will arrive in their circus and they will be worse than sharks in a feeding frenzy. I have not tried to decipher all the scientific evidence, bec I amnot a science person. I am more of a character type. I never bought the idea that she would duct tape her mouth. Nope. Not on day 1. In order for me to believe that story, you have to give me some more reasoning. So, armed with that first notion and a huge questioning of LE and SAO’s, I questioned things closely.
/blam
This is all fine, dandy and swell but why would Casey Anthony sit in jail for three years and face the death penalty if this was an accident?
All Baez had to do way back in July 2008 was say “accident” and it never would have got this far. It was only as an absolute last resort that Baez pulled this out of his hat.
Another thing, if Baez knew this was an accident in July 2008 then why did he say over and over until December 2008 that “we are looking for a live Caylee”?
=========================
YOU are speculating when Baez knew this. Maybe he didn’t know until Oct 14th when KC talked to the FBI off camera when she was arrested. And BTW..just by saying to the cops..hey, this is what really happened doesn’t automatically get you out of jail. You must be dreaming!
JB
This is one thing I can not stand is when people question..why KC sits in jail if she didn’t do it?? How can ppl not know this is NOT how it works. If you are charged with a capital offense of MURDER..u have to go to trial and wait in jail until that time. I will now accept a comment that asks that question again. It’s too dumb to answer.
Help Me,
I can’t Help you
lol…Gas Can..
I know! I can’t help either. Geez…
Then the ONLY way I can believe this theory all of you are presenting is if Casey takes the stand. But even then all we have is Casey’s word against George. The problem is how do we know if Casey is telling the truth? If you could get me ONE person to corroborate anything Casey says I could be swayed.
Help me;
You are leaving out the possibility that a person known to Casey, long-term, may already be on the witness list and ready to testify to what they know. Maybe something they were told
(A disclosure
If you are the first person the child tells about sexual abuse, your testimony as “outcry witness” may be especially important in future legal proceedings. What you say the child told you is not considered hearsay but is admissible evidence in a trial involving a sexual offense against a child. This exception applies only to the first person the child approaches. ”
Something they saw or over heard, suspicions they held, confrontations they may have made….
The thing about family secrets is….they never really are.
II am planning to reply to the above article in depth but mostly just to add some ideas.
In the meantime I wanted to say that I think this case may ultimately come to down to the
K-9s and I don’t mean dogs. LOL! Anyone notice what I noticed? The other day when the female FBI DNA expert first approached the stand JB seemed to purposefully drag out her creditials. I mean to the point I thought for a minute she must be a DT witness. So I tweeted to by peeps “Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling there’s about to be a BOMBSHELL?” I got the impression he was going to show that even with all of her credintials she still could make mistakes/errors. What could this error be? One so big it could wipe out the whole case or large chunks of evidence? Maybe….LMAO
hello to all.. I posted earlier under the name of “..I wonder wat really happened..”, in case anyone stumbles on that post…Ill have to say I greatly appreciate having a place to congregte with folks that are actually analyzing this case..Ill admit though, after reading the autopsy report and watching the jail conversations between the Anthony’s I was pretty peeved to hear the lies coming from KC…Knowing her child was dead, & contuing to lie..I condemned her like the rest of the Hangman’s posse….Im a scince chick though, & have had a lot gnawing at me from the moment I stumbled on this case..I couldn’t quite digest the fact that this highly organized,meticulously precise sociopath,(as she’s billed by wftv ) was also sloppily stealing checks,etc..That a girl who just barely graduated from High school would have the scientific forte’ to conceive of, then mix a formula of choloroform to later kill her child. considering how hard it is for the novice to do something as simple as bake a cake with the recipe on the back, she was able to make a formula that on the 1st go killed her child…Her motive being ??? what again? she didnt want the baby but had parents who were ready willing and able to take custody at any given moment.. & who according to family members actually threatened her with doing so…So many things dont coorespond…I can totally see George as a potential molestor..why not? Abuse is a lot more common than folks want to believe (sadly and unforutnately for the victims)..KC lying the way she did in the past (according to the police reports Ive read, from statements by fam and friends) totally fits…Someone else in a previous post mentioned the condition of the remains as being dubious…Having read the autopsy, what wasnt mentioned in trial is that pieces of the skeleton were indeed missing…I also question EVERYTHING about the duct tape..the hair matt that maintained integrity, kept in place by tape reportedly preserved the soft tissue of the mandible for longer than the rest of the body…which would mean the skull (with the mandible still attached) would’ve had decomposing tissue on it longer than the rest..decomposing tissue would’ve made it waaaay more attractive to animals in the area. animals would’ve defnitley carried the skull off, and done whats called cacheing..they would’ve found that skull buried a distance away from the street..probably seperating the pieces..there is no way it would’ve been found that close to the street near the other remains…..(of course JMHO) considering Im not Dr.G
I could go thru everything step by step, but I dont want to bore folks…but Id totally agree that there’s waaay more to this than meets the eye…way more…
Im sorry 1 more thing related to the abuse.. I wonder if KC would’ve actually told anyone about her childhood abuse..when I read the statements made to the police by her uncle, it sounded as if the vast majority of her family thought she was a liar..I hate to say but tragically that can be a typical response from family members of the victims of abuse..Im speculating but if she had of turned to the wrong family member in the past to accuse GA, & was later discredited by GA somehow, her family may have brandished her as a liar, to relieve themselves of responsibility and guilt.. so for those who need to see coorebaration of KC’s alleged abuse, I have to say that enablers are what allow for Victimizers to victimize…enablers blame the victim..& they wouldnt typically be the type to take the stand in defense of the victim…which is why its such a tragedy when it occurs..
Totally disagree with theory. I believe casey is a sociopath and narcissist and killed her daughter because she did not want a child and didn’t want her mother to have her. Her reactions in court re-enforce this. Throwing her entire family under the bus is another dispicable act to add to her crimes.
aww…dee,
You think too much of Casey Anthony. She didn’t plan a crime. She had a busy social life. How could you believe that KC “the Brain” barely graduated from high school could manage to find the time to concoct a batch of chloroform? Where’s the evidence that points to that? I strongly disagree with the State’s ASSUMPTION that chloroform was involved. Whats obvious to me.. the whole Fam Damily are liars and schemers. I don’t know what they’re hiding but they are hiding something!! There’s NO PROOF that Casey used chloroform on this child. It’s amazing that so many small minded people believe this…It’s mind boggling! Sorry to be so blunt…
Seriously, I thought I was the ONLY one who had my doubts about this modern day witch hunt… thank you for your blog because at least I know I am not the only one… I get yelled at and told I am a baby hater whenever I voice my views on this case to anyone, so thank you J.B. Mission.
KP,
Just saw/read your response to the theory (Part IV); understand what it feels like to feel as if you are the only one who questions this story, and thanks to the media it definitely has become a modern day witch hunt. Hope you follow the blog with the next article that JB posted this morning. As I have said many times since I found this site, I am very thankful to have found it because here everyone speaks civilly and respectfully to each other. If we disagree on a point, we do so respectfully. But if you ask a questio, you can expect an answer that people have done thorough research on. Hope to see you later today as we watch the closing arguments.

Welcome Catlin,
very interesting comment. Yes, I agree. KC may not be this stellar citizen but she’s not a murderer either. As you said, there’s waaay more to this than meet the eye. I couldn’t agree more.
The duct tape is over the top ridiculous just as the finding of the body. I think you’d have to be blind not to see this. There’s something wrong with this picture, imo.

Why did KC invent Zenaida after Caylee was born? why did she leave Caylee with whoever would babysit her if she had NO job???that is the motive of getting rid of her child.
Hi Rita,
I’m sorry for the late response. Didn’t see your comment until now. To answer your question, apparently Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez was the name KC gave to Richard Grund about a year or so before Caylee died. Are you familiar with Richard Grund? Richard Grund is the father of KC’s ex-fiancee Jesse Grund. When Caylee was about 18mo old, (not exactly sure of the age right now) the Grunds were tired of babysitting Caylee and asked KC to find someone. Within a week, Casey came back and announced she found a new babysitter named “Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez”.
I agree its odd that she would make up this name. IIRC, during part of this time while the Grunds were babysitting, KC did have a job.
If you think that killing your child because you don’t have a babysitter is a motive, I can’t agree. The reason being is that KC had built in babysitters, George and Cindy. George and Cindy wanted to adopt Caylee so if KC was really tired of being a mother as you suggested then she certainly wouldn’t have to commit a very poorly planned murder. There were several other options..too many for me to list in one post if she just didn’t want to be tied down.
Rita, IMO, that was the biggest reason why I didn’t think KC was guilty. There was NO motive. So IMO, it makes an accidental drowning much more feasible.
The cover-up was the most damning part of this case and is probably part of the reason she was acquitted.
Honestly, if I had read even ONE statement or read ONE report of Casey abusing her daughter, I would have thought differently.
Anyway, thanks for stopping in.
JB
