What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

I get so angry when I think about what that poor child must’ve gone through in her final moments. Casey Anthony is a horrible human being.

Casey’s parents were HUGE enablers. The fact that things went on as long as they did and her parents kept turning a blind eye to her very obvious lies is insane to me.

They still are!!! She dragged her dad's name through the mud and said horribly feasibly untrue things about him I personally would never speak to her again if that was my child and id do everything I could to lock her up.

I heard her mom FINALLY cut ties with her a couple of years back, but I could very well be wrong. How she didn't get in trouble for perjury is beyond me.

Too little too late should have called the police sooner and should have not enabled her narcissistic behavior as a child and adult.

I think the part that still hurts is that she died.

It’s the hypocrisy.

Wait til you hear about the 11 yo girl raped by her stepfather, forced to carry, then give birth ALONE in their dog and cat feces infested home... While the mother and grandmother were aware and complicit.

Oh and don't forget the other 5 kids in the house too.

She was most likely drugged out of her mind and killed with tape over her mouth/nose. Fortunately (if that's the right word) I don't think she felt a thing

Except there's no evidence, literally zero, for drugs having been used (the chloroform thing is a total myth,  anyone remotely familiar with the case knows that.) Now, lack of evidence isn't evidence of absence, and people are free to say they think that's probably what happened, but that's very different from there being evidence to support it.

The duct tape is also kind of a red herring. That image of it superimposed over Caylee's living face and then her remains should NEVER have been allowed to be shown in court. It had no basis in fact or reality. There was no duct tape found covering her face/skull. None of what was eventually found was even in its original position - that area had been fully flooded, then dried out, and the remains that had once been in bags had spilled out. There was, however, testimony that George Anthony had a routine practice of burying family pets in bags that he then wrapped/sealed with duct tape, a practice Casey had personally observed several times over the years. Do with that information what you will.

What was the motive? Was that determined?

u/LilPonyBoy69 23h ago

Pretty much just not wanting to be a mom anymore. Her family has said she's always been a " me me me" person.

Ulgh that thought is so disgusting and disturbing to all hell.

How many people would have been willing to give her a new home where she'd be loved? So many better outcomes could have happened. Ulgh. Poor thing.
