bodies found in the woods

Caylee Anthony.

What amazes me about this case, based on everything I have read, is that the grandmother can be guiltless. The daughter and grand-daughter lived with the grandparents and they didn't notice when their grand-daughter was gone for a month?

Hmmm.

The body in the woods has been tentively identified as Caylee. Well of course it's her. 1/2 a mile from the house, hair the same color and length, body the same measurements...well I guess bones as when the Utility worker found the bag the skull fell out of it. The remains are now at Quantico...I guess the prosecution isn't messing around.

The cadaver dogs picked up the scent of death in Anthony's car, as well as in her parents' back yard. They also said air quality tests conducted by the FBI found evidence consistent with human decomposition and chloroform in the car's trunk. A neighbor told police Anthony had asked to borrow a shovel. She lied about the babysitter, the location, analysis of Anthony's computer found she had visited Web sites discussing chloroform, chloroform traces were found in the trunk and she had done Internet searches of missing children.

Then I think about abuse that I know about...people I have known... a best friend sexually assaulted by her grandfather, my own father beaten and burned by his father, emotional and verbal abuse to others I know well.

I guess I am a very lucky girl.

I used to think my parent's were such a pain in the butt when I was in high school and college...and that my family was boring. Thank God for boring.

I stumbled upon your blog by accident, but I am glad I did.

It is terribly sad about Caylee. I have watched the coverage on this case since it started. I cannot comprehend how a mother could do that to her own child.

I read through a few of your posts, you have a gift for writing. I especially liked your thoughts on when we accept ourselves for who we are things begin to fall in place. {paraphrasing}
