The car Casey was driving was not stolen. This car was given to Casey to use, and if I remember correctly, originally Lee was using this car when he lived at home with his parents.
Cindy actually gave a "false report" to the police regarding the car being stolen. Cindy clearly was doing this "out-of-spite" and you can't involve the police with false statements.
The police were dispatched to the house based solely on a stolen car report and stolen money. This is why there was no RUSH for the police to arrive after the first 911 phone call.
Now if Cindy would have called the police right after Cindy and George picked up the car from the towing company and then called 911 saying: "I just received notice from a towing company today that my daughter's car was towed on June 30th and it is now July 15th. We went to pick up the car from the towing company and the car smells like their was a dead body in it. I haven't seen my daughter or granddaughter in 30 days and I am worried something is very wrong." Then the police would have been there is a split-second.
But, nope, twists and turns, ups and down, flipping and flopping and there is still a child missing!
If the car isn't in Casey's name and she took it and vanished, the parents (or whoever the car is registered to) can report it as stolen and file a report if they opt to. That's a legit claim (again as long as the car isn't registered to Casey, and I'd be willing to bet the parents pay for everything and anything to do with the car and just happen to let Casey drive it).
As for Cindy and the smell, do we know if she's even smelled a "dead body" - human that is? I'm sure she's smelled dead animals (on the road and such) and perhaps that's what the smell reminded her of. At this point though it's possible she really didn't know what she was smelling (unlike LE or those who have experience with the matter).
Just saying...
