The Caylee Anthony Case: What's Missing Here Is The Truth - Page 2

Then on July 7, Casey Anthony is alleged to have left this message on her MySpace account (message has since been deleted):

The message, titled "Diary of Days," read:

"On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken
Trust no one, only yourself.
With great power, comes great consequence.
What is given can be taken away.
Everyone Lies.
Everyone Dies."

Clearly, these two messages are chilling indications as to what was at the core of the relationship between the mother/daughter triangle of these two women and the missing little girl. Were these coded messaged from mother to daughter? We know from the three 911 calls, that Cindy Anthony was aware her granddaughter was missing for some time. We can hear in one of the 911 calls Cindy telling Casey, who begged for one more day to locate Caylee, that she's given her enough time and she was bringing in the authorities. This could constitute an obstruction of justice, but so far, Orlando police seem to be playing a game of cat and mouse with this family, knowing at some point they will trip up on their own lies.


Slimy Lawyer Joins The Fray

As if this case weren't convoluted enough, Casey defense lawyer, Jose Baez throws his hat in the three ring circus. It is evident from the very beginning that this guy saw this case as his chance to make a name for himself. Like many criminal lawyers, Baez oozes a smarminess that is almost palpably slimy. He continues to block his client from speaking candidly to police about Caylee's whereabouts, and offers half-truths and legal double-speak in an effort to obscure the truth. Fortunately, his motion to have future jail conversations between Casey and her family blocked was struck down by presiding judge Stan Strickland yesterday. But you can't blame the guy for trying.

The first conversations leaked over the weekend featuring Casey speaking to her family were damaging enough. Riddled with F-bombs, a lack of emotion and concern for her missing child Caylee, Casey's overwhelming desire to focus the conversation on getting Casey's boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro's phone number dominated the conversation. Since those conversations were released to the public, Casey has put on a new persona, but she can't fool us can she. We know what lurks in her heart.

There has been endless speculation about Caylee's current whereabouts and well-being, and as I said yesterday, I pray to my Maker, that Caylee is alive, and Casey is telling the truth. I haven't slept in days, and clearly I am obsessed with wanting to know where Caylee is.

Truth be told, these types of stories tear me apart. No one wants to imagine a mother harming or otherwise not caring for their child. But it happens. Susan Smith told a web of lies about her two sons being kidnapped only for the world to be horrified by the truth. She strapped them in their car seats and sent them in a lake to drown, alone and helpless. More often than not, victims of crime are often committed at the very hands of those they've entrusted to love and nurture them.
