Casey Anthony Obsessed with Skull Images after Caylee’s Disappearance

Cole Gamble — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:00:00 GMT

In the time after Caylee Anthony disappeared, her mom, Casey, began collecting photos of skulls and sketches of skeletons kissing. This discovery comes after the Orange County Sheriff's Office released about 1,100 pages of interview reports and photos this week.

Caylee Anthony, who disappeared in early June, was not reported missing until a month after she vanished. Police records show the images of skulls and skeletons were posted to Casey Anthony's online photo account on June 26. The reason for Anthony's interest in the images is still not clear.

Why Cops Should Let Casey Anthony Attend Caylee's Funeral

I've tried not to watch the Caylee Anthony unfold, shaken by the fact that the little girl was just two months younger than my own, digusted by the news that her mother was the prime suspect. But when I saw that cops will not be allowing Casey Anthony to atend her daughter's funeral, I couldn't not look. I couldn't not think about it.

I confess I would make a horrible juror. In my mind, Casey Anthony was convicted the day media reported she waited two months after Caylee's disappearance before reporting her missing. As far as I was (am) concerned, she did it.

Now, all that remains of Caylee, forever two years old, is a skeleton, found last week near the Anthonys' Florida home. No date has been set for the funeral, but the Orange County Corrections Department has already determined they will not allow Casey Anthony to attend - because of the gravity of the charges pending against her and the security risk (imagine, someone wanting to hurt a mother like that?).

If Casey Anthony killed her child, I'd rank her with any other child abuser/molester/murderer. She deserves little. But there is that if. In the United States, we are still guaranteed that "if" until a plea of guilty is entered or a jury or judge returns with a verdict. Right now, Casey Anthony is innocent, and she will not be able to say goodbye to her little girl. It's a pain, I, as a mother, can't imagine. It's why I think she should go to the funeral.

Of course, I can't imagine killing my child either. So let's just say my suspicions are right. Let's imagine Casey Anthony is proven guilty - beyond a reasonable doubt. I still think they should send her to the funeral. Because the mother who kills a child has apparently lost all sense of the sanctity of life, of the power with which she was blessed, of what it means to be a mother. A mother who kills her own child deserves to have to say goodbye.

The Long Search For Caylee Anthony Is Over

Kate Tuttle — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:01:00 GMT

I hesitated to blog about this, because it's been the subject of such hyper-saturated, sensational coverage already. But it's a parenting story like all the others we write about here, and it's one that, for some of us, has been hard to shake. Ever since then two-year-old Caylee Anthony was reported missing last summer, the media circus surrounding her young, probably sociopathic mother and her strange, clueless grandparents has been a grotesque fascination. Today it was confirmed that the remains found in a wooded lot near the Anthonys' home are in fact Caylee's, and I wonder where the story will take us next.

The likelihood is overwhelming that Casey Anthony, the 22-year-old mother, is the guilty party here, although her attorney has been all over the TV this week trying to suggest misfeasance or malfeasance among the local police. Even if she isn't guilty of the child's murder -- or of covering up her accidental death -- her actions in the month between Caylee's disappearance and her reporting it to authorities are tantamount to a crime. And crimes against children, always awful, seem especially unthinkable somehow during the holidays.

At the Unitarian church where I go on Christmas Eve, the service focuses on the nativity story. Unitarians are not all Christians (I don't consider myself one), but this time of year we are reminded to think about the miracle and gift that each child's birth embodies. There's one line from the service each Christmas Eve that comes from a Unitarian writer, Sophia Lyon Fahs, that reads, "each night a child is born is a holy night." Every year when I hear that statement it brings tears to my eyes, whether in gratitude for the two children I have, or in sympathy for friends battling infertility, or mourning for my own pregnancy losses. This year, I imagine I'll think about children like Caylee Anthony, or Adam Walsh, or any of the other children whose lives were ended far too young and violently. May they all rest in peace.

Documents Show Missing Florida Girl’s Mother Didn’t Want Child

SunnyChanel — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:53:00 GMT

When I first saw the headline “Documents Show Missing Florida Girl’s Mother Didn’t Want Child” I was thinking to myself, how in the hell would this state of mind be “documented”? Well it turns out that Florida Mom (and topic of non-stop Nancy Grace action) Casey Anthony tried to give her child up for adoption before she was born but her mother intervened and insisted that she keep her baby. And there are records to prove it.

In case you aren’t glued to Fox News or CNN, Casey’s daughter three-year old daughter Caylee has been missing for three months and the mom didn’t report that she had disappeared for over a month stating that she was “conducting her own investigation”. A pretty shady reaction for a mom of a missing toddler if I don’t say so myself. Casey faces charges of “child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation”. She was recently released on bail and is with her family.
