Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with the timeline concerning the living situation of CA and GA:
Didn't we learn sometime during the time Caylee was missing that they moved from the house on Hopspring Dr. ( hope I have that right)?
This is the plain beige stucco small house which has been the subject of threatened foreclosures for at least 8 years, probably longer as I think negative info was found when her disappearance was first known to the public.
Just asking with no sympathy implied- Could it be that they moved out, the area was hit by a storm or storms over a period of years while it was vacant and forgotten ( there have been some monster cells in the area which are " once in a lifetime" each) and caused " some" damage which they didn't fix because they weren't living there? You know, their " Out of sight, out of mind" way of living. If any of this is valid then, could it be a problem of no way to sell it, whether bank, Anthonys, or sheriff sale on the courthouse steps because of the following:
1) Unoccupied for a matter of years in the part of FL that is super duper humid most of the year. Thus probably sealed up
where mildew/ mold lives and flourishes when there's not fresh circulating air.
2) Add in some possible boo boos ( nothing major like the roof blowing off) from weather events over the years which could add to the moisture factor inside the house.
3) The amount I've read that's owed on it is more than I'd think anyone would pay unless it was on a major beach road or in an otherwise much better location and larger.
4) Last, but most importantly, this house is strongly associated with Caylee. For some, it's memories of her life, others- her death. For me, it's both as I know she lived there and think she might have been there in a drugged state. Some people think she died in the backyard. ( the old above ground pool can be removed if regulations haven't already required it to be disposed or it wasn't taken as potential evidence, which I don't think it was.)
Any way you look at it, whether GA and CA are there, or haven't been there in years, where that precious baby was dumped is right there in the neighborhood, and NO ONE will forget that this is a metaphorically cursed house for many years.
So, what we have, IMO, as a non-realtor who peruses properties for sale online and in the hidden real estate information service for the area, is a property that will be a burden for the bank/ mortgage company.
They have skipped several measures:
1) Realtor sale or lease/ purchase option.
2) Short sale.
3) Public auction cash sale.
I don't believe Cindy and George have lived here since Caylee died and it all went south with Casey. That's what was said at the time and then- crickets about where they live..
As far as photos, I don't study their photos for details compared to the house where Caylee died, so I'm not a good judge in that aspect. Also, I'd like to point out that tract stucco houses with a lanai and similar features of this small house are legion in mid- Florida and they could have moved to one that looks extremely similar.
