From my post on another thread:
IF they find the body, and
IF they can get blood sample (doubtful at this point), and
IF they get a positive for Xanax or other drug
THEN Casey will be in even bigger trouble than if she had just let her die in a hot car.
THAT may be why it took so long (1 month) to report the disappearance.
DAD knew that that amount of time, minimum, needed to elapse so that
NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF MANNER OF DEATH could be determined by the coroner.
ADD to THAT the INVESTIGATIVE TIME and the
POSSIBILITY (probably real) that Casey
BURNED the body in
ADDITION to the natural decomposition and possible animal (gators, buzzards, etc.) devouring the remains
Casey MAY GET OFF ESSENTIALLY SCOTT FREE!....................
Ten people see me push you out of an airplane without a parachute over the ocean. I can be charged and convicted of murder.
If forensic experts prove that there is DNA from the little girl showing she is dead -- taken from the trunk of her mother's car -- that would go a long way to hanging a murder conviction on dear old mom.
She may not get off at all. A lawyer in Tennessee, Perry Marcy, was successfully prosecuted for the murder of his wife, Janet March, despite the fact that no evidence of foul play or even a body was ever recovered.
According to the article there is plenty of evidence to say that the child is indeed dead. The prosecutor now has to come up with a viable reason why and the motive behind the mother’s lies.
My guess is that the mother was probably partying, passed out and either left the baby in the car to die or she wandered out to the pool and drowned. Instead of facing up to what she had allowed to happen, she began the cover up. Initially, she didn’t know what to do so she left the body in the trunk for a few days until the stench became too much and then she either buried the body somewhere remote or tossed her baby’s body into a canal to be eaten by turtles, fish and gators. And now she is telling one lie after another to try to get away with it.
Very interesting news. Casey goes back to jail!
She won’t get off scott free. There’s plenty of circumstancial evidence. There was a body in her car. The child is missing. The mother shows no emotion. Etc.
