Went over the timeline on the Investigation Discovery site and this little tidbit in particular stood out to me:
[quote]June 14 – Casey allegedly logs into her MySpace account and leaves a message on a profile allegedly belonging to Anthony Lazzaro. The message, time-stamped 8:05 a.m., read, "You're absolutely my favorite." It remains unclear if Anthony ever replied, as the majority of Casey's comments from that period have been deleted.[/quote]
I'm no expert when it comes to criminals and why they do what they do, but when I read this, I was almost instantly reminded of two other cases: those of Susan Smith and Diane Downs, two women who murdered their own children because neither of their boyfriends was interested in a "ready-made" family. Could Anthony Lazarro have viewed Caylee as a liability and offhandedly expressed this sentiment? Or perhaps he didn't feel that way at all, but Casey thought he did and decided to, in an utterly twisted way, prove her devotion to him? Or is it possible that the MySpace message carried a much less eerie connotation when read in context? It's probably impossible at this point to say for certain, but I don't think it's entirely unrealistic to tentatively conclude that a desire to prevent her boyfriend from leaving at any cost might have been a motive of hers.
(Of course, there are many other potential motives, such as her apparent frustration with not being able to party as much as she wanted to because she had a child to care for and, like Baya said, her general disdain for child-rearing. I dunno, I think I'm just rambling because it's late and I'm exhausted; nothing I'm saying is anything new. xD)
I know she was set free, but like you guys, I personally don't believe she is inculpable. If she wasn't solely responsible for the murder of her daughter, it's likely she was at least complicit in it.
May justice someday be exacted upon the one who so mercilessly took the life of that poor little girl.
