Here is what I think the motive was: She and her mother had a VERY dysfunctional relationship. I've read or watched the police interviews with Jesse Grund (former fiance.) He tells about an argument that Lee said Casey and her mother had right before June 16th. Her mother threatened to take Caylee away from her....called her an unfit mother, etc. There are other witnesses that said the same thing, not just Jesse.
Anyhow, I think she killed Caylee to 1) punish her mother, 2) out of anger that her mother would try to take Caylee away from her...instead she took Caylee away from Cindy, 3) knew there would be LOTS of sympathy and attention to herself if her daughter was missing and then killed by a mysterious person.
There was plenty of evidence to show how dysfuntional this family is. There is plenty of evidence to show the anger Casey had at her mother regarding her mother's and Caylee's relationship. The prosecution decided to go the other route based on her partying for the 31 days.
Bottom line for me: I think she killed her daughter to punish her mother and to take Caylee away from Cindy. |
This is exactly what I have thought for a while. Casey was jealous and wanted to punish her mother and father because they showed love towards Caylee,
