The now famous face of Caylee Marie Anthony, whose remains investigators say have been found. (Orange County Sheriff's Office)




We didn't see the video until she was already missing. But exactly a year ago, Caylee Marie Anthony looked like a happy little girl.

She played with her ponytail. She cooed to herself -- in her own 2-year-old language -- as she flipped through a children's book, Suppertime for Frieda Fuzzypaws.

These are among the images George and Cindy Anthony remember about their granddaughter. They're also the last known ones captured of the toddler's life.

It always makes me so sad to watch the video taken at the nursing home with her great granddad. When she pulls her ponytail tighter I always have this horrible image of her precious little head turning into a skull. I cannot get that out of my mind. May KC rot in hell and the Ants too if they continue to protect and lie for her.

Critter...I feel your pain...this case has really affected me, and I have horrible images of her too. I tend to "obsess" more on her last 2 weeks, what that was like for her and her final hours. UUUGGGHHH. So sad and so senseless.

The link has an excellent synopsis of the whole case.

Thanks guys/gals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's all take some time to stop and have a moment of silence for Caylee and all the murdered/missing today!!

A moment of silence for sweet baby Caylee. We love you.

(Wrap...just change your topic date to June 16th.)

Done and thanks!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, the time between June 16 and July 16 is crucial and easy to get confused. Thanks for the save! :lightning:

Bumping this thread up. It was two years ago that CA last saw Caylee.

A very sad day. Two years ago today Caylee was visiting with her great grandpa in the Nursing Home. She was reading, singing "You Are My Sunshine" and making sure her Papa wasn't tired. Within 24 hours her mother did the unthinkable.
Caylee you my dear, precious child...you will never be forgotten. I will never understand why. But, I know that you my dear have changed the life of many.
We love you.

Wrap has asked me to make the next 30 days about Caylee Marie Anthony. On each of these days I will reflect how much time went by before the Anthonys tracked KC down. Katie has lived with me pretty much since she was born. No way in hell would I have went 30 days before hunting my Daughter down to find my Grand Daughter. I would have reported the car stolen way before they did. Ask Sassy. I would have hunted her down on day 2, been checking out the so called Nanny, KC jobs etc. I will never understand that kind of time going by with out seeing or talking to little Katie.

I feel really down about Caylee. It was either last night after the fight w/ CA or today while everyone was at work that she was killed. I think it was last night after the fight. KC was finally confronted for her stealing and CA appparantly threatened to take legal custody of Caylee. KC left in a rage w/ Caylee. Caylee was screaming and crying. KC silenced her w/ tape. Probally put her in the trunk so she wouldn't have to see her. Drove around fuming. The next day when she opened the trunk she found her dead. I bet she may have put her in the pool-the dogs hit there--in order to stage an accident. Then at about 3 PM the flurry of phone calls. But, at 8 PM cool as a cucumber renting movies w/ her latest love. JMO-but it totally makes sense to me at least. The 3 pieces of tape over both airways shows rage and oh boy was she p'd off at CA. That is why CA is riddled w/ denial-she blames herself for pushing her daughter over the edge. I can never forget the "Diary of Days"-written to CA from KC--CHILLING.

I have an idea. The last two posts should go into the Lounge with a title :Two Years Ago, the World Lost Caylee Anthony" or something like that. Everyone can pay homage to her there and add (if they want to) what they think happened.

And btw CherylZ, for the most part...I agree with you on your analogy of how she died.

It's hard to believe it's been two years, and still this lovely, innocent child has no Justice.

I do believe this is the day that Caylee was killed. I do think it was an accident. She had been chloroforming her to get her to "sleep" while she partied and probably gave her a bit of xanax (zanny) to knock her out. She overdosed her and with the Florida heat, she died. Then, the cover up started with her, if you can call it that. Driving around with your dead child in your trunk is beyond despicable. It is morbid and just plain demonic of any mother to do this to their child!!!!

I still think she put the duct tape over her mouth after death to make it look like a kidnapping. It's the only way I can sleep at night. To think she did this to her while Casey was alive and staring into her mother's face (as the prosecutor said in court) is just too much for me to bear. And, as a grandmother, I have to wonder just what is going through George & Cindy's minds today. Deep down they know Casey did this. How could they not?

Poor little Caylee. You are loved more than you will ever know!

2 years ago today. Caylee Anthony laid in her Mothers trunk with duct tape covering her mouth and nose. She laid there in the hot trunk while her Mom slept in with her boyfriend.

Isn't it also the day she borrowed the shovel from Brian Burner, the neighbor, and backed her car into the driveway..gave the lame excuse she was gardening or some b.s.????

Why oh why couldn't George or Cindy or Lee come home early from work? Why couldn't a neighbor spot her trying to bury her daughter in the backyard (the dogs hit back there).

June 18th was the day she borrowed the shovel.

Thanks. So - I guess today is the day she went to the Sawgrass Apts (with Caylee in the trunk) - somehow got the name "Zenaida Fernadez Gondales" and came up w/her alibi. Unreal!

Yes the sawgrass apartments came in to play 2 yrs ago today. If I remember right KC was not using the Pontiac that day.

June 17
** Someone fills out a card at the Sawgrass Apartments. The signature on the card reads Zenaida Hernandez-Gonzalez.

** The Anthony's allegedly notice that the gate to the swimming pool is open and the ladder is next to the pool.

** Casey allegedly posts a message for a friend named "Amy" on a social networking Web site. The message reads: "Cheer up me lady! I love you and can't wait to finally get you moved in."

Later this same day Casey is seen backing her car up to her parent's garage.
(It stands out in the witness' memory because they had never seen her do it before this date.)

It is all just so horrifying.

June 18th 2008

Cell phone records show Anthony was near the area where Caylee's body was dumped around 4 p.m.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Yes, this is the day I believe she dumped Caylee's body. If you read the transcripts (and there are many), she called Tony Lazarro and said she ran out of gas at the location where Caylee's body was dumped. On his way to go get her gas, after the got the gas..he sees her walking down the street, he asks her why she didn't wait by the car. She said she thought she would walk and meet him. She gets in his car..they drive to her car..she gets out with the gas can. Tony offers to put the gas in for her. She tells him, no..I got it and that if he is busy....he can leave.

Point being: He never got close to the horrible smelling car. She did this on purpose.

There is a place in Hell...a reserved seat for Casey Anthony...that I am sure of.

Just unreal. Her child is murdered and buried by her own hand and she will be out partying all night.

IMHO, the prosecution will do what we are doing here but a hell of a lot better (I would think even though we are doing great but we are not prosecutors for the State of Florida in a DP case) and show the jury the timeline and her actions and text messages.

Tomorrow, on the 20th, is dance night. Devil w/the blue dress. She makes me sick!

The pic of Caylee on the home page...taken 6/2 on TL's cell phone...will forever haunt me. This was Caylee Marie Anthony under her mother's care.

Yes, and her eyes show she has been drugged. I think the bruise is from lying in the trunk or wherever on that side of her face. She looks exhausted!!!!! Such a gorgeous child.

If we had side by side pics of Caylee...looking loved and well-cared for and then that pic from 6/2...what a drastic change. We know in June per CA...KC and Caylee starting staying away more-1-2 nights/week. How in God's name could that "mother" take the life out of that little girl. It really tears me apart.

Precious baby girl...you deserved so much more.
Thank you Wrap...if a jury could see this.

Your welcome.

Trust me, the jury WILL see this. Maybe not "this" but they will see the comparison. I would bet it will be one of their smoking guns.

Can someone help me out with this question. There was something that had some fingerprints on it, but I dont remember what it was - however, I do remember
that Cindy George and Lee or any combination of them were all cleared of their fingerprints on this item,
Casey was not - does anyone remember what that was? Also does the prosecution because of the sunshine law have to make everything public that they have as evidence? Anyone know?

artgal we all read where CA, GA and LA fingerprints were all cleared from something. But no mention of KC fingerprints being cleared. I have not seen any evidence so far that had fingerprints. Everything I have seen said no fingerprints found.

I do recall some paperwork which did exclude G,C,+L's fingerprints...I just don't remember on what. And there's been so many releases I wouldn't even know where to start to find it. I'll sleep on it, maybe I'll remember in the morning! (sometimes this actually works for me.)

Also, I read on Bill Sheaffer's blog that all the evidence must be released before the trial.

Oh boy! Was it fingerprints or DNA? I think it may have been DNA...but, in regards to what? I'll have to sleep on that one too!

It was the fingerprints on the duct tape. And yep about the evidence being released.

The fingerprints ruled out GA, Cindy & Lee but Casey was never mentioned.

She then went to the Anthony home/LA home/location where remains would be found area until sometime between 1:53 pm and 2:18 pm (Pings 5-6). She then returned to TL's apartment until about 8:00 pm (Pings 6A-12). She then was at the Fusion Ultra Lounge (Pings 13-16).

Lots of "abrasions" under the eyes. What are they from? Sleeping on the rough trunk liner...was the trunk the "nanny"?
Poor, poor child. To suffer at the hands of your own mother.
We love you Caylee Marie!

Nite, the general public may forget but I bet the prosecution will certainly remind the jurors of these important details...Speaking of the prosecution, they need to visit this website for a detailed, concise summary of events (with visuals, no less) as compiled by you, LM, and others...Their case couldn't be presented more clearly than what you all are doing right here!

Thanks, Lisette. Doing a play by play shows Casey's mindset and actions. Maybe after the 31 days, I will copy and paste this and send it to Linda Kenny Baden.

I am certain they have this down but you never know. Thanks goes out to LM and Nite for keeping up on this!! :cheers:

I just found this and thought it was important.

June 20th (Fri)...Casey runs out of gas. Tony takes her home to get gas cans. Neighbor reports seeing truck (SUV) in driveway. (dis Lee)
Tony & Cas at Fusion. Pics of Cas partying on GVS

I had previously said that I thought Casey dumped Caylee's body on I believe the 18th of June. I now believe it was either the 18th or the 20th. If you read TL's interrogation, she ran out of gas in the same exact area where Caylee's body was dumped. If she did not dump her that day, maybe she went there to make sure it was out of site from the road. Please note: this is only my speculation.

21/22 - KC is at Tony (Anthony) Lazaro's apartment all weekend. When Maria Kissh was visiting her boyfriend, (TL's roommate) Clint Roy House she asks where Caylee is and KC tells her she is at the beach. KC adds 23 photos of her at Fusion to her myspace page.

The pic on the Home Page w/ the caption..."Why Mommy...I loved you" got me...oh, just about every pic gets me.
Today, 18 years ago I gave birth to my first born. A mother's love for her child is undying. They are perfect little packages, gifts for us to nurture and prepare for their journey in life. What went wrong?
We love you Caylee.

I agree. Linda Marie, even though the pics are very difficult to look at - !!

Happy Birthday to your first born, Cherylz!

What went wrong? IMHO, Cindy & George were horrible parents to Casey. MOO!

p.s. I added an update on what Casey did on the 20th up thread.

I've been trying to find the document which lists the exclusion of G,C, and L, but not KC and still haven't found it. I knew I should have taken notes when I read all of the discovery!
