whether this is what happened in this case I don't know, but of course this phenomenon certainly can happen, and you put it very well. In this case there are some facts that would seem (to me, MOO) to argue against it. Casey didn't pursue an abortion or apparently even look into it, never pursued options to give Caylee up for adoption despite opportunities, refused a friend who wanted to adopt Caylee (of course the offer of adoption from KMTC was pretty weird, but Casey could easily have given Caylee up for adoption to another adoptive family.)Guys bear with me, but I have been thinking for awhile that Casey never intended on bringing up Caylee or allowing her to live much past her first breath. I don't think we can ignore the pregnancy denial. Think of all those girls who hide their pregnancy, then deliver in secret and carry on as if nothing ever happened. If Rick hadn't intervened and forced Cindy and George to acknowledge the fact that Casey was pregnant, I think that Casey would have just had her somewhere, disposed of her then carried on with her life as if she had been some kind of benign tumor which had miraculously disappeared. Caylee's eventual murder was possibly an overdue event in Casey's mind if this theory is correct and she had been living on borrowed time. Do any of you think this scenario is possible?
This is from a story which wrapped up last week, which set me to thinking, would Casey have acted the same way towards Caylee as Keli Lane did towards Tegan if she had never been exposed at the wedding?

Despite the media image of Casey supposedly never having wanted Caylee etc, in reality, all the old friends and family who were around Casey throughout the pregnancy and Caylee's lifetime say that Casey had a very good bond with Caylee, apparently she breastfed her as an infant, provided very good care for her throughout her almost 3 years of life, showed a concern for her safety and welfare, and "spoiled" her. And according to friends, Caylee liked to be held by Casey, didn't like for Casey to go out of her sight, she was bonded to Casey. Regarding the denial of the pregnancy at the wedding, I think it's possible that Cindy just had no desire to discuss the subject with Rick or other relatives at the wedding and felt that it was a private matter.
But I can't totally rule out the theory you describe either, imo.
I do think there seem to be avoidance/denial/stalling/pretending type behaviors by Casey in other ways from what we've read/seen, so.....
On the other hand again, Casey had cared for Caylee well throughout infancy and for these almost 3 years, and Caylee was now of an age she could soon go into preschool during the days etc. Casey had always been able to leave Caylee with her mother in the evenings to a great degree, she knew she could leave Caylee with her parents if she did want to lessen her parental responsibilities or even give up custody completely if she wanted to her mother, while still being able to see Caylee if she wanted.
If Casey is in fact the person who killed Caylee, I still have the gut feeling it would not have been because of an ongoing desire to be rid of Caylee. Maybe because of something else that happened in June 2008. For example if something bad had happened to Caylee that Casey did not know how to face her parents or authorities with, something she would not be able to conceal or explain away, whether an injury or other bad event happening to Caylee. Or possibly it was an accidental death that Casey didn't have the courage to face her parents with. Or, who knows, what if Casey had the onset of serious mental illness or began using more drugs that we're aware of during the time frame and had a radical change in her behavior, though friends say they didn't notice anything like that. (And I also consider it possible that Casey herself was not the killer.)
Thanks for the good thread and discussion, I don't rule out your theory
