I agree, I am not seeing much planning in this at all. If she had planned it, she would have had a plan for disposal, which obviously she did not.
I kind of disagree. I think casey was plotting to kill Caylee since march 2008 when she researched chloroform, household weapons and how to kill on the internet. But I think her planning wasn't very methodical. She had the idea and wanted to do it. But the events that seem to have come to a head made June 16 the day to do it and in a rage, she did.
I believe casey is a person who cannot stay committed to anything long enough to carry through properly, even the murder of her daughter. So, she had ideas but did not have the foresight to cover all the details.
I really believe she chloroformed Caylee, taped her and drowned her in the backyard pool or smothered her and then dumped her in the pool. I think she was calling her parents repeatedly to make sure no one was coming home as she did it and then shortly afterward.
I think she initially planned to fake an accident. That Caylee slipped out and got in the pool because someone left the pool ladder out. But when she actually murdered Caylee, I believe she panicked and wasn't sure if a fake drowning was the way to go. Maybe they would charge her with negligence. Maybe they would detect that Caylee had been chloroformed or smothered or taped. So then, she had to decide what to do with Caylee's little body.
My feeling is that casey pulled Caylee out of the pool and laid her down near it. Mind racing, she thought about what to do. Maybe she went back to a scenario she had thought out a couple times, of a fake kidnapping. But, between frantic calls to make sure no one was coming, she knew she had to get rid of Caylee fast. I think she may have attempted to bury her under the playhouse. She tried and dragged Caylee's body over there, but realized Caylee would likely be found quickly if reported missing and a search commenced. Eventually, casey just shoved her in the trunk and drove around for a few days, wanting to buy time and trying to figure out the best place to dispose of her. I believe the 30 days was spent fruitlessly trying to buy time and distance herself from the disposal of her child.
This scenario may explain why cadaver dogs hit on the backyard. And it explains the computer searches conducted. But it also shows that although the time of the murder was likely more spontaneous and not planned, the idea of killing Caylee and plots to do so, had begun many months before.
No, this is a gruesome person whose mind festered for months with the desire to get rid of her darling baby. IMO, this was no accident, no sudden, rage filled attack that had never come to mind before, etc. This person is a cold-blooded, remorseless killer and premeditated murderer. The fight just caused the plan to come to fruition on that day, as opposed to another. But plan it, she did.
