I believe Casey knows exactly where Callee is and her parents are in total denial thinking their daughter is innocent.

I would be able to assume she is not guilty because there is no evidence in the public domain to assume otherwise. However, I think it is very likely she is guilty of something.

I am convinced after listening to details of this story, that the Grandmother is just as crazy as the daughter. And the Grandfather is a wimp. This is a child-centered family, the child is 22 years old and presently sits in jail. The baby, I pray, is okay, but it doesn't look so good.

I feel like if Casey was such a good mother, the least thing she should have done on Saturday was to call in the media and wish her child a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and tell that she love her. This girl knows exactly what happen to her child and she probably drowned her own child and her grandmother (Cindy) knows also. This is so sicken for them to wasteing tax payers money like this. I will be glad when (Casey) break.

With all the publicity of this case, it would be hard to see her as innocent. First of all waiting 31 days before she admitted her daughter was missing and it wasn't Casey that called 911 to say her daughter was missing, it was her Mother. it is a very upsetting case and we are praying Caylee will be found.

Casey should be waterboarded to expedite the finding of little Caylee. It would take less than 5 minutes to exonerate her. God Bless all involved.

Casey is a scary sort of mother if I were to presume her innocent. What is she waiting for in telling the world where her dear daughter is? Something is wrong here and the investigation seems to be taking far too long.

Aug 11, 2008 10:18pm ET

This young woman has serious emotional/anger issues (maybe sociopath?). I believe she has accidentally killed this child (or sold her) & is covering it up. Sadly, her parents love her enough to try to help/shield her. I hope she gets the help she needs.

Aug 11, 2008 10:18pm ET

The entire Anthony Family knows where this little lady is. The grandparents should be given a lie detector test. AND, all should be prosecuted to max of the laws of FL.

How can a parent lose their child and not report it to the authorities right away? All her stories are lies and she is definitely involved some how. Her poor parents are the ones trying to cope with not only losing a grandchild but with the possibility of losing their own child!

In my mind, I think Casey killed Caylee, and used the gasoline that she stole from her parents home, to incinerate her own daughter.

This girl should be ashamed for what she is doing. Her parents are in denial because they love their daughter, but she is lieing right through her teeth. When they find the truth and she is guilty, they should pull her finger nails out one at a time, that is if she has killed that baby girl. There are a lot of childless families in America that would like the baby girl, but this girl is nothing but trash and the sooner they find her guilt and put her in prison, the better she will be, even if they find little Caylee alive and well. She is not a fit mother. Thank you. Sorry to be so unkind, but children are helpless in this America.

I believe she is guilty as sin. I also believe the child is deceased. Has anyone thought about tracing where she left the car and traced back from that area? Send those dogs out!!!!

I could presume Casey Anthony to be innocent if, and only if, there was no evidence found and presented that indicated otherwise. Like so many others, I pray for little Caylee to be safe right now and really hope for a quick resolution to this.

all parents want to believe our kids,but the mother needs to realize her daughter is lying and the little girl is no where to be found ..if it was my grandbaby I would get tough with my daughter thats called tough love.......quit babing her and make her be accountable

cory
Aug 11, 2008 10:21pm ET

Casey knows what happened to Caylee. Perhaps she got herself into some sort of drug or money problem and some thugs are holding the child. But with all her lies, I'd probably lean towards, the child was killed maybe accidentally and she hid the body.

Robin Blue
Aug 11, 2008 10:21pm ET

First of all I find it strange that the grandparent's had no contact phone number for this so called babysitter!! Also why hasn't Casey been given a lie detector test????? This girl is a mess and a liar and the language she uses towards her parents that have done so much is terrible. I think that Casey is a spoiled rotten brat and guilty!

Bobby Fisher

I believe Casey's parents have been "enablers" for their daughter her entire life. Any time she was in "trouble" Mom and Dad bailed her out.

Jerry
Aug 11, 2008 10:21pm ET

I believe that Casey sold her daughter for drug money and is doing everything she can to keep it behind the curtain until she can buy her daughter back. At least I hope so. That would mean that she is still alive.

Kathy
Aug 11, 2008 10:21pm ET

I am thinking that perhaps the reason she is refgusing to see her family is because it is all hitting her that the media will not let up until they know the truth. She is finding out that her lies aren't going to cut it anymore. I honestly don't think her parents know where that precious baby is!! I only pray that she is alive~~somewhere!!

Welcome to the new generation of "Me" and of absolutely NO responsibilities; even at the cost of an inocent child. This is just sick! I pray for the childs soul and that this "mom" reaps it all in the end for all eternity.

Just minutes ago on "On The Record", Mark Fuhrman stated that a neighbor of the Anthonys told him that Casey had quite a temper, and that he (the neighbor) had overhead Casey yelling and cursing at her parents on more than one occasion. This is not surprising to me. I've felt all along that Casey has emtional issues. I believe Casey left her parents home...taking Caylee with her after one of her outbursts to challenge, scare, upset her parents. I fear that Casey harmed the child in a fit of anger. Although Casey gave birth to Caylee, it's obvious that she is jealous and resentful (based on remarks she made...all they care about is Caylee) in a recorded conversation.

Georga
Aug 11, 2008 10:22pm ET

A mother would have called the police the moment she could not find her child and would be so frantic over her child disappearing that one certainly would not be at a bar smiling and seeming to be having a good time. I don't believe someone could put on a happy face if they truly were distraught over a missing child.

Coral
Aug 11, 2008 10:22pm ET

The emotions, the deceit, the evidence...nothing is adding up in Casey's favor. How would any morally sound parent not report a missing child for over 4 weeks? Her mother, Cindy, has shown little-to-no emotion which leads me to believe that she is suspicious, or informed, of Caylee's whereabouts. Casey is, in no way, being victimized...she knows what happened to Caylee and she's responsible (either directly or indirectly) no matter which way you turn it.

This is a disfunctional family; right down to the parents; and the poor child will have to pay for it. This woman and family are ALL guilty...

Diana
Aug 11, 2008 10:22pm ET

Everyone has the right to the presumption of innocence. Right now there is no hard evidence only implications of guilt due to strange behavior on Caseys part. Once the DNA testing is complete, the picture will become much clearer and the scale of justice will reveal if Casey is innocent or guilty.

BARBARA SANDROWSKI

THERE IS SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT THE REAL FATHER (CAYLEE'S REAL FATHER). THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO LOOKING INTO THAT. MAYBE THE REAL FATHER HAS THIS BABY AND CASEY GAVE CAYLEE TO HIM BECAUSE SHE DON'T WANT TO BE A MOTHER ANYMORE . THAT IS PRETTY MUCH PROVEN BY HER PARTYING AFTER HER MISSING. THE GRANDPARENTS ONLY KNOW WHAT CASEY HAS TOLD THEM. WHY NOT LOOK INTO THE PRATERNITY OF CAYLEE. GET THE DNA FROM THE MENTIONED FATHERS KIDS AND CAYLEE'S DNA AND MATCH IT. I CAN ALMOST TELL YOU IT MAKES MORE SENSE THAN YOU THINK. SHE MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN TIRED OF MOTHERING AND DOESN'T WANT HER PARENTS TO KNOW AND GAVE CAYLEE TO HER REAL FATHER. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND LOOK INTO IT.....................THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO VOICE MY OPINION.

I am totally sickened about what I believe Casey did to her beautiful little Kalyee. The mom is a sociopath and does not care about anything or anybody, but herself. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't have something to do with Kaylee's dad's absence.

Aug 11, 2008 10:23pm ET

I think Casey knows where caylee,is & I think She, is guilty of caylee's disapperence. lot's of evidence against her & she needs to tell the truth it will set her free. thanks,

Aug 11, 2008 10:23pm ET

I agree that I believe Casey knows exactly where the child is. There have been too many lies and attempts to "create" a story and events to presume the child is alive. If in deed she was alive the mother would be working with the police more to come to a resolution to this matter. It seems that she has accepted being in jail or knows she has Caley so hidden that there is no way she could be found and then convicted of harming Caley. The mother is way to calm about the whole matter. The police have plenty of evidence to examine. They just need to get some results so they can convict her of her hidious crime that we all know has happened.

Marilyn Armstrong
Aug 11, 2008 10:23pm ET

I agree that Casey knows exactly what happened to her daughter. A grandparent, myself, I want to be sympathetic with all of them. I am particularly impressed with the son, Lee. This tragedy, however, began long before June 2008. The Anthony situation is a sampling of a larger reality. As a nation, we need some serious, "Come to Jesus," reflection on morality, parenting, and the family unit.

Marlin Cannon
Aug 11, 2008 10:23pm ET

Casey says that her daughter is "close". If she has had no contact with her in all this time, how can she possibly know that to be a fact? If the child is alive, she could be anywhere on this planet. Also, has Casey's bank account been looked at to see if she has made a large deposit recently? Perhaps she sold little Caylee. In my heart of hearts, I believe the child is dead and I do not understand why the FBI has not been able to crack this case. Has Casey or Cindy been given a polygraph test? I cannot believe these people can outwit law enforcement or the FBI!

carol ferrell
Aug 11, 2008 10:24pm ET

Yes, I would be able to presume Casey innocent, I would not consider anything that I had heard previously - I would start with a blank slate.

Aug 11, 2008 10:24pm ET

i think either her father or her father and mother helped her hide the body and destroy evidence.

Diane Barnes
Aug 11, 2008 10:24pm ET

I have a feeling the little girl drowned by accident in the pool. Casey when she couldn't located her mom Cindy paniced, thus coming up with this elaborate story of the kidnapping. The dog did signled at the house and bottom of pool. There are more to my feeling on this. Thanks

karen durbin
Aug 11, 2008 10:24pm ET

I agree with William Willbourne....Those grandparents need to take a lie detector test. I don't they did anything wrong but they are covering for Casey. I think she drowned in the pool due to parental neglect and panicked. The grandparents know something.....lie detector tests are needed

Greta: I have been on a few jury trials, and I know that everyone is innocent before found guilty, but I could not hold that to be true in this case. Casey knows what happened to her child and where she is, she is just covering herself. Being a mother myself, I know where my children are at all times. I could not be as claim as she is if my child was missing. I just pray that Casey can for once, put her daughter first and tell what she knows, whether this information hurts her or not. This little girl needs to be found. Linda Floyd Hudson, Florida

I personally believe that I could have believed her innocence if she had not lied to her parents. To party & sit in jail w/no emotion or concern at all for her child,says a great deal about a persons demeaner. I believe she got mad & accidently killed her daughter. Casey covered it up, so that makes her more Guilty. God Bless little Cayley

Jean
Aug 11, 2008 10:25pm ET

I ditto Farrah's comments. I believe Casey is guilty and her parents are very much in denial. My prayers are for Callee and want to think positive she is safe.

teresa
Aug 11, 2008 10:25pm ET

if she really did not know where her daughter was, she should be showing more emotion than what she is. i lost my 24 year old daughter in may of this year and i have a very hard time holding my emotions to not crying all the time. she can't have very much love for her child.

Aug 11, 2008 10:26pm ET

Even though from everything that has been said by the media, we have a duty to believe she is innocent until proved guilty. She could have left the child in the car while she went to get gas--I doubt she has ever had a baby sitter-- and maybe it was too hot that day and you know what happens to children who are left in a hot car. It does not matter what she tells anyone because she lies. I believe Casey is spoiled and only cares about herself. It is just too sad.

Gail Silkebakken
Aug 11, 2008 10:26pm ET

My comments are questions - What was Casey doing for that one long month beside night clubing and stealing from her parents? Also why wasn't she and Caylee still living with the Grandparents if everything was so good for them in their home?

Rick Woldt
Aug 11, 2008 10:26pm ET

I don't see enough physical evidence to convict her YET, but to not report your daughter missing for over a month is totally unforgivable. I just hope by the grace of God she is alive and found very soon!

Cindy Anthony is lying regarding a fight...there is a post to her daughters My Space stating that her daughter was punishing her because she told her she needed to grow up and take care of her child. She wasn't allowing her mother to see Caylee.... This whole family is nuts and are all involved in some way.

Matt
Aug 11, 2008 10:27pm ET

The simple question she cannot answer that should put her in the electric chair alone; why did you wait over a month to report your child missing?

Lyndie
Aug 11, 2008 10:27pm ET

In opinion, despite the obvious dysfunctionality of the family and case story, I would still need to convinced through factual evidence before I could declare a person guilty. From the very beginning of this case, I have followed every news cast and have heard all the evidence thus far. While I have considerable questions regarding credibility from all the family members, there are questions that remain. Lyndie Tarzana, CA

Aug 11, 2008 10:27pm ET

I believe also that darling little Caylee is no longer with us. I suspect that the Grandmother knows more than she is saying. I have 5 kids all grown and believe me not one would ever talk to me the way Cassey talks to her mother. I think Cassey is a pathological liar, spoiled rotten, had a disagreement with her Mom and took Caylee to punish her Mom and something terrible happened in the fit of a rage. I think the Grandmother has a problem also ! She certainly goofed with her daughter Casey !

Jerri Schneider
Aug 11, 2008 10:27pm ET

What bothers me about Caley being missing are the photos of Casey in the bar or restaurant where she was posing with some men flashing what it appears to be gang signs. Perhaps she had some of these men help get rid of Caley's body. I can't see how a mother could do anything like that to her child. It is evident that Casey did not want to be bogged down with a two year old. What also bothers me is the father of Caley has not helped at all in this investigation and he has not done anything to help. This is really sad and I believe Caley was probably put in a shallow grave and torched with gasoline and buried. My heart goes out to her parents that have consistently continued with the investigation and refuses to give up.

Barbara
Aug 11, 2008 10:28pm ET

I have been following this everyday and I agree grandma is in denial. Casey keeps saying Caylee is close to home and that sticks in my mind.Her grave must be close to home. God bless the little angel. I hope I'm wrong.

Nancy
Aug 11, 2008 10:29pm ET

No doubt....Casey KNOWS that her daughter is no longer with us. The most I'll give Casey is that maybe it was an accident....maybe Kaylee drowned while she was busy obsessing on her boyfriend. Then again, based on the neighbor's account, Casey had a bad temper & was disrespectful to her parents. I dunno, but I'm convinced that precious baby has passed. :-(

Aug 11, 2008 10:30pm ET

I would want to be fair and honest, and could in most cases, but not this one. I would have to admit in voir dire that I was biased and not serve on this jury, IF this case ever comes to trial. I am afraid we will never know exactly what happened to Caylee. I hope I am wrong. Continuing good job , Greta

Marcia
Aug 11, 2008 10:30pm ET

Come on ... its all a stall game. It isnt difficult to dispose of a body in Florida in the middle of the summer. There are lakes and swamps and crab traps. The longer this investigation takes and the longer this mother doesn't reveal details about the disappearance, the more likely it is that we will never know what happened to Caylee.

shirley gardner
Aug 11, 2008 10:30pm ET

I think the grandparents are also guilty, you never see a tear out of either one of them. if that was my grandaughter i would not even be able to talk about it without crying, i would be cracy by now. Casey she is no mother, she is nothing but a liar and she knows where she is. GOD BLESS THAT LITTLE GIRL.

Niquette Mac Leod
Aug 11, 2008 10:31pm ET

No mother in their right mind would lie to the police more than once when their child is missing. If Casey didn't have something to hide there would not have been any lies. I strongly believe that Casey has something to do with the disappearance or even death of her daughter. I also believe that the grandmother knows exactly what happened to Callee and they are basically playing this role to see how long it will take the police to find Callee.

Aug 11, 2008 10:33pm ET

A pathological lier will feed you bits of info that seam possible enough for you to buy into the lie and chase it..knowing it is a dead end and knowing you want to believe.....it's all about the mother.....she is in control.....she despises her mother's "cameo" time on TV, she's angry her missing (dead, sold or given away, probably dead), daughter is getting all the attention and said so...her daughter has been a drag on her social life but it bought her a place in her mother's house....another free ride...more ways to control her parents...but a detriment to her new love life. My guess she killed, burned her and buried her.

Aug 11, 2008 10:33pm ET

Of course she knows where her child is, and her parents do too. He is an ex police officer, knows the ropes and are trying to pur doubt in the minds of people all over the country. Then they will say she can't get a fair trial. Very sick case!! The poor child to have had a mother like that!

This is crazy,the child is not alive! they already blame a spanish what is next,an african american?they are trying to find another killer,she did it no doubt in any mind,what are the parents playing?they need to come to the facts and accept what her daughter has done

Chasalz
Aug 11, 2008 10:35pm ET

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!!!!!!!!!! All of them. Circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that she either intentionally or by accident killed her daughter. The grandparents are in total denial. Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!!!!!!!!!!

Mary
Aug 11, 2008 10:37pm ET

I think I heard that a Father's name is not shown on Caylee's birth certificate and that the Father and Casey swore to never reveal who the Father was. Next, I heard that Casey's father had either died or been killed in an accident. Is it possible that something in the Father's things may have had a note or a picture of Caylee and his parents realized they were Grandparents. Is it possible they may have wanted their deceased son's child? I'm wonder what caused his death.

Jo Jacobson
Aug 11, 2008 10:37pm ET

I consider her guilty in connection to the disappearance, but do not consider her guilty "yet" with a possible homocide/murder.

Aug 11, 2008 10:39pm ET

I think she is very much involved in her childs disappearance... However, the question was about the presumption of innocence IN COURT at HER TRIAL by a jury of her peers. The accused are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I think she's involved. The grandparents have nothing to do with it - that's ridiculous. Where is that child? If the mother would tell the truth we'd know.

Teri
Aug 11, 2008 10:39pm ET

As a juror, yes, I could presume her innocent at the start of the trial. Even though I have heard more information in the last few weeks and could easily base an opinion on that, it's the information that's presented by the prosecution during the trial that the juror needs to listen to and use that to either convict or aquit.

no name please
Aug 11, 2008 10:40pm ET

I think the mother of this little girl is mentally flawed or mentally ill. The grandparents knew this but were unable to force their daughter to go for treatment. There are many families in the same situation. What to do???? Maybe all they could do was to hope and pray for the best and that sometime or someway they could find a way to make their daughter understand she needed treatment. I think they believed their daughter loved her baby and would never harm her. Most parents would feel the same way. The baby is probably dead because of this situation and I feel terrible for the grandparents, but I have little sympathy for the baby's mother.

Jo Jacobson

First of all let me say, Please let God take care of Caylee and those who care about her, and truely care about her. I have a diffterent take on the family. I think they know something but for some reason can't share which is suspicious for me. I feel that they are all hiding some truths that need to come out so that we can bring this baby girl home alive (preferred) or deceased, just bring her home. This has gone national and someone should help find her. It makes me angry that people do this for "attention". I would have gladly taken this little girl if her mother didn't want her. I know in my heart that Casey did something to her daughter and she should be punished for it. If that baby is alive, and she nows where she is, then she needs to TELL! I am a mother of 3, and they are my life. I don't know how a woman could wait months before going to the authorities and let someone know that she's missing. I am appauled by this. I plead with Casey and her family to come clean in what they know so that we can help those trying to find her. This is very serious now! Caley needs help, she needs someone to find her. So God please be with the authorities and investgators so they might find clues to what has happened to this beautiful baby girl! once she is found then we can deal with Casey and her involvement in her baby's dissapperance and possible death.

Grandmother in Texas
Aug 11, 2008 10:42pm ET

My daughter was diagnosed alternately as OCD, post partem, and bipolar having never been diagnosed with anything except anxiety disorder before. She had a daughter in 1999 that she did not bound with. She ,as, Casey was not married to the father. My daughter had lots of therapy and medication and yet she still ended up committing suicide in 2002 when her daughter was only 2.5 years old. It could have been much worse. Once she told me she walked out of the bath area while she left my 1.5 year old granddaughter in the tub by herself, while she smoked a cigarette. If my granddaughter had drowned, no one would have been more sorry than my daughter, but then the focus would have been on her as the grieving mother. I immediately took total control and custody of my granddaughter so that she was safe. I do fault the grandparents of Caycee for allowing the "messed up" Casey to take her off by herself. I know they were probably "exhausted" from caring for Caycee. It doesn't mean they didn't love her, they were just exhausted. They wanted to believe, as I did, that their daughter was willing and able to care for their granddaughter. As a parent, I pretty much "walked on eggs" around my daughter, but assumed all the responsibilites of taking care of my granddaughter. I'm not saying that was the right thing to do, but all the so called doctors and medications did notthing to help us. These children, and I mean Casey, are narsasistic and can not let anyone else (including her daughter) receive more attention than she, herself receives. She either wasn't watching Casey closely enoght while she was swimming, and she drowned or just hit her in a rage moment causing her death. Casey is a liar of the highest degree. I'm so sorry for the grandparents, they just want Caycee back. Casey's parents "want" to believe her because their whole reality is tied up in believing her. I do fault them for not making arrangements during this 31 day absence to see or talk with her. Casey is a liar.

Patrick McFadden
Aug 11, 2008 10:42pm ET

While she may clearly be guilty of lieing to authorities in several instances, There must still be a presumption of innocence and Casey is entitled to a trial which would determine guilt or innocence based upon facts presented by the District Attorney which requires the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If the State is unable to provide a factual and creditable burden of proof, The defense is not required to present a burden of innocence. Like it or not, this is the protection guaranteed all people of a free Democratic society. It is what makes our country great. Rather 100 guilty go free than one innocent person be found guilty when innocent.

dee
Aug 11, 2008 10:42pm ET

The pictures of Casey shown over and over on TV of her with another woman apparently fondling this womans breasts, and other pictures that are very questionable with this woman tell me Casey is just another "GIRLS GONE WILD" character which has no room for a now 3 year old child !!!!!!! I think her daughter just got in the way of her desired lifestyle !!!!!!!!!

karen
Aug 11, 2008 10:44pm ET

Have just heard the neighbor comment of Casey's outbursts, particularly on the day Caylee disappeared. I suspect that not only is Casey guilty of child abuse but also parent abuse. Casey had no problem being short with her mother on the phone and Mother was very "patient" in her response. This is no place for patience Mother.....

Have just heard the neighbor comment of Casey's outbursts, particularly on the day Caylee disappeared. I suspect that not only is Casey guilty of child abuse but also parent abuse. Casey had no problem being short with her mother on the phone and Mother was very "patient" in her response. This is no place for patience Mother.....

I would start with a blank slate and want to hear and weigh every shred of evidence. I think Casey is refusing to allow her family to visit because she is angry they have not posted the 10% ($50,000). Judging from the home and vehicles and the jobs, along with friends and other family members it appears they could easily post the bail. I know I, in my meager circumstances, could accrue $50K to get my daughter out of jail. I believe they want to keep her there because now they KNOW where she is and don't trust her not to run.

George and Cindy Anthony are in some very serious denial about their daughter Casey. I am a mother and would, I'm sure have a really tough time believing my child could commit a serious crime. However, the Anthony family has traded their granddaughters well being for a daughter who has some very serious issues. Issues that did NOT start just now. Her family has chosen to overlook tgese issuesfor a very long time. And the bottom line is their granddaughters disappearance.

I AM A MOTHER OF FOUR AND GRANDMOTHER OF 6. YOUNG AND WITH IT FOR MY AGE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CASY THE MOTHER WAS IN SOME SORT OF DRUG SITUATION AND SOMEONE IS KEEPING HER CHILD BECAUSE THE DRUG DEAL DID NOT GO AS IT SHOULD. OR DID SHE LET THE CHILD GO AS SHE KNEW THAT SHE WAS SEXUALY BEING USED BY SOMEONE NOT KNOWN TO ANYONE AT THIS TIME. HAS SHE BEEN TESTED FOR DRUGS. METH,CRACK, AND ANY OTHER . SHE WAS GOING TO A CLUB AND I AM SURE THAT WERE SOME KIND OF DRUGS IN THAT PLACE. IT SEEMS THAT ALL OF THESE HOT SPOTS HAVE A GROUP THAT HAVE BEEN INTO DRUGS AND BEING IN FLORIDA, EVEN MORE. THAT IS ONLY MY GUT FEELINGS ABOUT THE SITUATION. MONEY MONEY MONEY-----A YOUNG WOMAN AS SHE WITH NO JOB TO SPEAK OF WILL BE TEMPTED TO DO MOST ANYTHING FOR MONEY. WE SEE IT EVERY DAY IN EVERY STATE. A PEDAFILE RING OR INDIVIDUAL WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CHILD LIKE HER. I WOULD HOPE THAT SOMEONE WOULD GO UNDERCOVER TO HER PLAY SPOTS(CASEY'S) AND CHECK IT ALL OUT. AND LOOK AT THE PEDAFILE WEB PAGES AND SEE IF THEY CAN LOCATE A PICTURE.. THIS IS MY OPINION BASED ON NOTHING BUT GUT FEELINGS. IT IS TOUGH TO THINK THAT YOUR CHILD HAS DONE SOMETHING TO YOUR GRANDCHILD. IT WAS JUST SAID TONIGHT THAT SHE (CASY) HAD A BAD TEMPER. DRUGS CAN PRODUCE THAT ---I KNOW --- I WENT THROUGH THAT WITH ONE OF MY CHILDREN. LET US ALL SAY A PRAYER THAT CALEE WILL BE FOUND AND BE WELL AND BE HEALTHY .

I wonder if anyone has explored the hand gestures by the men in the photographs when Casey was partying at the Fusion bar. You see Tony holding three fingers out when his arm is around the shoulder of Casey and then another photo displays a young man holding out one finger gesture. Thirty one days is the number Casey stated her daughter was missing. It may be nothing at all but gang members ususally signal information through hand gestures. Just a thought. Lyndie Tarzana, CA

I believe that Casey Anthony is innocent of murder (if Caylee is deceased)! She is not the only one who is lying!! Cindy, George & Lee Anthony are the ones who are blatantly lying! Cindy & George (the grandparents) are the ones who are giving the "evidence" regarding Casey....think about it everybody! I believe that Mark Furhman is on to them & probably some other experts....sheriff, FBI, etc.? They may be holding her in order to catch the other Anthony's in their lies! I also have a theory about who the father is.............I hate to say this....but I think it is the "brother" Lee! Hopefully, Casey & Lee are not brother & sister by blood! (if I'm right) Also, I think that Casey (the 3 yr. old's mother) does not know what is really going on with her parents & she, herself, does not know where that little girl is! The Anthonys' do!! This is the saddest thing I have ever heard!!.....I believe that those so-called "loving grandparents" (& maybe Lee) have set her up!! They are the ones who made the "mistake" or whatever happened to that child.....and they are throwing their daughter "to the dogs" to cover up their crime.....they are the "psychos" & should be convicted!!

Casey is a spoiled brat. Look at they way she talks to her Mother. I believe she ran the Anthony house and the parents never put her in her place. Casey has done away with this innocent child to further hurt the family for some disturbed reason. She is a lying monster.

Why is everyone taking Casey's word that she never told the father...or that the father never told his family or anyone else before his death? I too believe that this is more about the relationship of Casey and her mother than anything else, but would still like to see some DNA testing to determine father's identity/status. I agreed with brother Lee that another, second family should not have to "go through this" but Caylee is first priority. Casey is spoiled, narcissistic and psychopathic....I'm not trained to diagnose but I have never seen anything like this; the sheer number and scope of the lies boggles the mind.

donna
Aug 11, 2008 10:53pm ET

What really breaks my heart is watching George and Cindy run all over the place looking for this child while their own spoiled daughter knows exactly what happened, but will not tell them or releive their anguish in any way. I don't think Casey lacks emotional stability, but is extremely selfish and spoiled (by her parents of course). I don't understand how her parents could be in such denial. It's very sad. Even when the tapes are shown of her crying in the courtroom, you know she's crying for her own precious self and not her daughter's. She's a little princess, but is in for a major dose of reality real soon, God willing.

On Nancy Grace, the father of Caylee--was supposedly killed in a car wreck while on the way to Caylee's birthday party. The grandmother never met him. I find this kind of strange. The whole family seems to be real nut jobs. Casey either killed her or sold her......the woman has some serious mental issues. From the way Casey acts, the family had to know something and maybe should have looked into taking custody of Caylee when she was born. I doubt seriously that Casey will be able to get a fair trial---she looks and acts guilty. I really hope and pray that Caylee is found safe and sound.

John Bertram
Aug 11, 2008 11:00pm ET

The media has embrassed the view of, guilty until proven innocent, and America is now only given points of view by the media that points to that end. Nancy Grace, Greta, and any and every show with their format can not make good programming by looking for a view that might reflect a person to be innocent. Mark Furman, and those so called experts like him give only views of guilty and never embrace the possibilities, that not guilty may have a ring of truth. Mark Furman an expert that has no credability after screwing up the biggest case in the past century, the O.J. Simpson case, with his investigative abilities, is called upon for his input that has already been proven to be less than reliable or professional. Panels of experts that could not understand any explanation for anything other than the one they create out of theory, can be a dangerous thing for society. These types of peoples are the same types of peoples who could rationalize that what Hitler was doing to a Jewish citizen in Germany was an appropriate means of his dealing with what he invisioned as a corrupt social situation, because it was a popular position and one of least resistance, he continued to increase his ratings with his public. Think about it peoples have you ever been put into a situation and only you at the time new the truth and if given the chance others would prematurely condem you. Circumstancial evidence is exactly that and no one should be convicted on circumstances that may be as false as they are true.

I figured it out. John Edwards is the father and no one wants to tell the truth. This lie is as good as the ones Casey has been telling. The CIA has stolen the baby and is hiding her at an undisclosed location until after the election. I know my lie is better than the family lies.

What is wrong with these people. Are they all on some mind altering drug that leaves them emotionless and heartless. I can't look at that tiny little girls face without getting teary eyed. I do not feel anything for Casey or her parents since this is some kind of game they are playing. I am heartsick that this beautiful little baby had the misfortune of having this evil woman as her mother and I blame the grandparents for not taking care of Casey's mental problems early on so Caylee would not have had to pay the price.

lisa
Aug 11, 2008 11:05pm ET

I would not be able to presume her innocent. I am a mother of a beautiful 3 year old little girl. If something happened to her, my world would end. I would report it the second it happened. I don't understand how, as a mother, she could be so quiet about the disappearance of her daughter. It appears to me, judging by the pictures of her partying at the clubs, that she just wanted to be a 22 year old again without the responsibilities of being a mother. I really think that Casey's parents are in denial. I think they know that something happened and that Casey is responsible but they don't want to admit it. I pray that Caylee is found alive and that she comes home to her grandparents but if she is found alive, under no circumstances should she be given back to her mother. Casey does not deserve to be her mother, she is clearly not protecting her daughter or trying to find her, she's more interested in taking the police in circles. This whole situation makes me so angry that there are people out there like this that have children and just don't care.

Aubrey Ray

I believe the mother of Caylee is guilty of murder. The grandparents need to quit defending the mother and the grandfather needs to asked to be left alone with the mother and beat the answers out of the mother.

Concerned Citizen
Aug 11, 2008 11:08pm ET

Reason Casey was not searching immediately or asking for help, could be she did a deed for someone else, like burying drugs, money or something and that person held Caylee while she did this for them. Perhaps they were going to pay her some money for helping them out. Then when she went to claim her daughter back, they had vanished. Then she began trying to locate them on her own, and was in denial that something serious may have happened to Caylee, and she was afraid to say anything to her parents, brother or go to police because she knew she was guilty with putting Caylee in this situation. BUT, Casey, you must come clean.....ask the Lord to give you the strength to tell the truth. We all out here want to help find your Daughter, but we need your honesty.

Aug 11, 2008 11:20pm ET

I want to know why they can't pressure this girl until she breaks? Everyone has a breaking point and if the police could pressure her "greatly" not just a little. I'm sure the police are very afraid of doing anything wrong for fear of a law suit like in the Eisenburg case! But that is very, very sad that our police can't do their job without that kind of worry!!! They need to hound her non stop they need to make some annoying sound that will drive her to break! It would work!!! there is no sense in this case going on and on like this because she wont talk. It's rediculous!! Her Parents need to quit babying her and siding with her they are enabling her! They make it real easy for her to lie because they buy it, they allow it!! They need to stand up to her!!! I wish something like this would happen!!!

I have been reading the comments ahead of mine (Joyce B.)....I am also the mother of 3 and grandmother of 4 and I dearly love them as well as other precious children....Caylee is a beautiful and precious child! There does not seem to be many people (on TV or bloggers) who are suspicious as I am of the grandparents & brother! However, a couple of the bloggers above (William W.) and ? seem to think as I do. Everybody is talking now about Casey's temper.....what about Cindy & George Anthony??......both have lost their cool many times, especially Cindy!! I saw one of the first interviews with Cindy & the attorney (for Casey) and she was hostile, angry with the interviewer, foul-mouthed, sarcastic, etc. ......certainly didn't sound or act like a loving grandmother whose grandaughter was missing! George lost his temper with reporters/newspeople just recently.....the tempers run in that family! I do believe now that Casey has "talked" to her attorney, sheriff, FBI, etc. and that is the reason that she is refusing to see the Anthonys' now.....they probably advised her to do that. The inconsistancies coming from the Anthonys' are so ridiculous!! Speaking of cover-ups!! Just listen to George talking.....people can't you see how immature he is......and he, so they say was a policeman / detective!....has anybody even asked why no more? What is his job now? Cindy is a "hothead"......sure, she is a nurse but that doesn't make her perfect! Dysfunctional family for sure......they are all "sick"! And GUILTY!

Ronda P
Aug 11, 2008 11:34pm ET

I believe Casey knows exactly where her daughter is - or is buried. I believe she had a hand in the disposal of her daughter although I lean towards neglect (like leaving her in a hot car) or an accident. I don't believe her mother knows any details and I am sure she is sick but is standing by her daughter, with all hope trying to believe her. I believe the skirmish they heard on fathers day probably was not a fight but was typical of the way Casey speaks to her mother on a regular basis. She demonstrated that nasty attitude on her first phone call to her mom from jail. I believe that is why the family did not recall a fight on Fathers day since it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Just a Thought
Aug 12, 2008 12:39am ET

I haven't heard anyone mention that maybe the girl was kidnapped for a drug debt. Maybe if Casey says anything to the police, the kidnappers will kill her. I don't care for Casey too much, but that would explain some of the strange behavior she is showing. I don't think the kidnappers expected the media attention, which is complicating the plan. Just a thought.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GENIUS TO FIGURE OUT THAT CASEY IS YOPUNG AND WANTED BOYFRIENDS AND PARTYING--NOT TO BE A MOTHER. SHE'S A LIAR FOR A REASON.

Greta, Your coverage is poisoning the jury pool every single day that you obsess on this story that most of the nation doesn't care about. As a lawyer, you should be incredibly ashamed of the role you are playing in making it nearly impossible to have a clean trial with an impartial jury. There is no other network doing what you and your partners at FNC are doing. It's all on you. 2008 Olympics Russia about to turn to full scale war and overtake the capital of Georgia Our economy in shambles with a credit crisis, a housing crisis, a job crisis But you spend every night talking about hardly anything besides a missing white girl and basically convicting her in the public arena before a jury is even close to being selected. Pathetic performance, yet again, by you and Fox News in general.

DO YOU REMEMBER??
Aug 12, 2008 1:17am ET

DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INVESTIGATION THAT CINDY ANTHONY SAID CASEY HAD THE SAME BABYSITTER FOR 3 YEARS?? IF THAT'S THE CASE, SHE WOULD BE LYING AS FAR BACK AS 3 YEARS AGO?? BUT WHY?? NO BABYSITTER GONZALEZ AT THOSE APARTMENTS!!!

KK
Aug 12, 2008 1:21am ET

She knows where her daughter is or what happened to her or she would be more helpful in the investigation. Not being emotional over your daughter being missing is not a "normal" response for a mother. She MUST have severe mental problems to be so cold about her daughter being missing.

I think Caylee has been either killed or sold for a debt by her mother. I think Grandma knows, too. Mothers/Grandmothers KNOW...I don't know how, but they KNOW. Georg is a wuss. BUT, as a retired Cop he knows how things go, too, and his recent blow-up was telling. I hope they find Caylee or her remains, so she can rest.

I think I heard that her dad is a detective??? Then I heard the entire explanation of why Casey wouldn't let her dad look in her car. He gives the "logical" reason that his missing gas cans were in her trunk. It all made sense he said, her gas gauge was broken and she had previously run out of gas. Why then didn't she just explain that to her parents and borrow the gas can, and why were there multiple gas cans in her trunk (I would think it would be to incenerate evidence). Also, the borrowing of the shovel from the neighbor to remove the bamboo shutes. I am sorry but what single mother age 22 living with her parents goes to such great lenghts to have to borrow a shovel from a neighbor for yardwork in her parents yard. Personally, if I wanted to do something nice like that for my parents and had gone to the shed only to find it locked, I may have run a vaccuum in the house instead - seriously, who is buying this crap?

I noticed something curious in a jail-phone conversation between Casey & her mother. Cindy had been interviewed on tv and Casey was not happy with things Cindy said, Casey mentioned to Cindy--You don't know my involvement? Regarding what Cindy said on that interview- Cindy then sort of dropped that question and went on with Are you saying its my fault you are in jail sweetheart? Just the way the question was stated by Casey to her Mom leads me to believe they both understood the involvement of Casey in Caylees' disappearance

Carol O.
Aug 12, 2008 1:38am ET

I do presume the mother innocent in this case. We all know how a good attorney, the police or sheriff, and the media can shape what we believe: 1) by the questions they ask and the way they ask them 2) by releasing some information but not all 3) by the tone in their voice and how animated they get 4) by experts getting on and starting sentences with "If this, then that" IF IF IF. 5) Most people believe what they read in the newspapers or see on tv. That's another reason you need the best attorney you can afford. A good attorney will help prevent you from being railroaded by a prosecutor or police department under major public scrutiny to SOLVE a case. 6) look at the Jon Benet Ramsey case! That is what I am referring to in #5 above. I would want to hear all the evidence before I form an opinion. That is the only way to have real justice. Thank God we live in America!

Aug 12, 2008 1:42am ET

Sorry to say that I believe that Casey wanted her mother to watch Caylee so she could go out, her mother refused she got mad took Caylee out with her went to the Winter Park area party with her friends, left Caylee in the car, Caylee then wonder from the car, when Casey returned to the car, drunk didn't think to look for Caylee, drove off and then ran out of gas near Colonial and Goldenrod in which is half way between Winter Park and where her mother leaves, and that is where they found the car. Then Casey remember where is Caylee? And also thought what am I going to tell my mother and father about what happen because I can't remember what happened myself. Because of her being mad in the beginning, and drinking, she Ms. Casey, just messed up her mind more. Watching this on television and reading various web sites and looking at Casey, something happened but I'm going to have an opened mind about alot of things, such as: I can't vote for her being guilty, this girl needs people to understand alot of things, something went wrong without her control of the situation. As for her getting out of jail, don't release her, I believe she will get upset and kill herself like the other situation. I pray for Caylee and also Casey, and the rest of this family. They all need help.

Despite all of the inconsistencies... one has to have compassion for the entire family... and including the mother Casey. She definitely has issues... so not only have they not administered a lie detector... they could go one further and give her truth serum. She will not willingly tell the truth... but from what I understand with this drug you have no choice. I pray for this little baby day and night... and the family as well. No matter the outcome... May God have mercy on her soul. God Bless Caylee Marie! I do not understand how anyone could be so stubborn and not reveal the truth - especially when it concerns an innocent child. This baby is helpless and a victim in the entire ordeal... family and all. Thank you Greta for doing such a thorough job reporting.

Aug 12, 2008 2:29am ET

It is never good to convict a person with just media reports, but working in law for over three decades, with the evidence info. released and continuous stream of lies from Casey to the police, Casey Anthony has provided enough evidence to show that this child is no longer alive and she knows what happened to her, i.e.: Borrowing neighbor's shovel (as opposed to using her father's); backing the car up to the garage (according to neighbors); taking gas cans (probably to burn remains after transporting little Caylee's body in the trunk of the car); making up the babysitter, using innocent party's name; (which in my opinion the Grandparents should KNOW the name, number and location of Caylee's usual sitter since Casey and Caylee were living in their home); "losing" TWO of her cell phones; not calling the police the MOMENT she knew her precious three year old daughter went missing; scent dogs alerting to decomp in backyard and in trunk; leaving her car with her purse in it parked at check cashing lot; etc., etc. etc. . . Also, Casey's parents know alot more than they are letting on and WHY on earth, are they covering for their daughter? Do they know an accident occurred and then Casey got scared and disposed of their granddaughter's remains? Hopefully, her attorney will advise her that it is alot better to be convicted of child neglect and/or endangerment, than it is murder and obstruction of justice. I do feel very sorry for little Caylee, and her grandparents and uncle and loved ones. This is truly hell on earth for them until this is resolved - and they can thank Casey for putting them through this. Impossible to have an unbiased opinion in this one!

This is the most bizzare case I have followed in a long time, just when you think it can't get stranger...it does. I believe that something terrible happened to Caylee and sadly I do think she is gone. However I don't think Casey did something intentionly, I feel that it was due to an accident or neglect. But I do feel that she is definately quilty and should NOT be released on any amount of bond until they find out what happened to this beautiful little girl. I think the grandparents are out of touch with reality at this point and are in extreme denial.

I heard one report that Casey ran up $45,000 on her mother's credit card. What on earth did she buy for that amount? I wondered why no mention was made about that because it seems outrageous. It sounds like she would have been capable of anything during that month. I pray that child is safe and if she is I hope when/if the police find her they never give her back to Casey.

Greta YOURE the best ! I hate you're off on the weekends . You are true and fair. I believe that Casey knows where Caylee is. There are several options of what could of happened. The police need to issue a lie detector test to all of the Anthony's. Either way anyone who can sit around with no emotion and a missing daughter - something is wrong ! She has to know where she is, because she wouldn't be that calm and refusing to see family (her only link to whats going on ). I can't believe the grandmother didn't even know the babysitter. I would think since they all lived together the grandparents would have noticed her missing sooner or at least questioned where she was. It just doesn't add up. GET'EM GRETA !

ALTHOUGH WE DONT AGREE HOW CASEY IS HANDLING THIS SITUATION, SHE MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE BY OWING SOMEONE SOMETHING AND THEY TOOK HER BABY. THE ONLY THING WE KNOW IS WHAT THE MEDIA IS TELLING US. PLUS THE POLICE KNOW WAY MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE TELLING US. WITHOUT ANY PROOF, SHE IS INNOCENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE MIGHT FELL OR BELIEVE RIGHT NOW!.....ALTHOUGH I DO FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT SHE KNOWS WAY MORE AND DONT AGREE WITH HOW SHE IS BEHAVING TOWARDS EVERY ASPECT OF THIS INVESTIGATION. KEEP UP THE GOOD REPORTING GRETA AND STAFF. MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU AND LET'S FIND CALEE!

Greta, your investigation of the heart breaking Caylee Anthony story has been spot on. I already have formed my opinion of this case. Casy is showing all the classic signs of a personality disorder....and extreme narcissist, where the world revolves around her. Her lack of feeling, or emotion several days after little Caylee goes missing tells me, she is unable to feel...classic signs of a psychopath...as are stealing, most especially from family memembers and friends. i am praying with all my heart that the little angel Caylee is found alive, but the longer this drags out, without the mothers cooperation the more i am inclined to believe there is not going to be a happy ending here. Keep up the great work. I do admire you so! Sincerely, Theodora Onken

That poor little girl. What a family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly believes she's dead. If my child was missing the LAST thing I'd be thinking about was partying>>>>>> I weep for the child!

I think it is sad. when a person is so sick that they cannot tell the truth. I voted yes she is innocent until proven guilty. I believe that there is enough evidence to convict her assuming that they find a body. I can only hope that caylee is alive and doing well. I also hope that this is some sort of a sick joke. Assuming that it is not, I believe that her mother knows something. As they say the apple dosent fall far from the tree, and sence they have both lied we can assume that they are in this together. I prersonaly think that we should tie her down and beat the shit out of her, and her mother if she is envolved. maby then she would spread some light on what happened to that beautiful baby.
