Though their is no solid evidence that Casey killed her daughter,

it is believe that if she did kill her, it was because she wanted to live a responsibility free lifestyle, in which she can party and be with friends, without carrying the burden of a child.

One Answer

I don't actually think there is a reason. It was an accident, there was no Duct Tape involved. Caylee accidentally drowned in a swamp.

Another Answer

Ms. Anthony will never tell and, since she has been found not guilty of the crime, the public may never know why she had to die. The first answer is an opinion. Opinion is all the answer you can have at this point so I will give mine.

If the child died accidentally, it was due to her mother's efforts to keep the child with her to thwart her parents' efforts to control her activities and keep Caylee under her own control. She may have wanted to have fun without her parents knowing what she did. She may have experimented with putting the child to sleep while she did what she wanted, then escalated to taping the child's mouth in case she woke up and called attention to herself. She could have died from an overdose of whatever her mother gave her to make her sleep or from suffocation from the duct tape.

If the child was deliberately killed, it may have been to permanently end her parents' control, but in my opinion, she killed her to 'keep her mouth shut'. Caylee was two, going on three. At that age children tend to say what they're thinking without editing. The time was coming that Caylee would tell that Casey never went to work or that she would leave her alone while she went out. The duct tape may have been the means of her death but the use of the tape and the fact that it wasn't removed when the child died tells me something.

Either accidental or deliberate, the tape around the mouth was the only evidence on the body that indicated foul play (other than being left in the swamp). I believe that Casey's subconscious led her to leave the tape as a way of saying 'you will never tell on me'.

Did Caylee Anthony's mom kill her?

According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty in the death of her daughter on July 5, 2011.


Where did Casey Anthony kill her daughter?

Casey Anthony didn't kill her daughter. She was found innocent! It is over. Done. Period. Get over it. Casey Anthony was acquitted of all charges relating to the death of her daughter by a jury on July 5, 2011. Acquitted does not equal innocent, it means that the jury did not find the evidence sufficient to convict her. The only person who knows why Caylee died is not talking and even if she did, no one would really believe her. Casey Anthony is on official record as a liar and a story teller.


When did Casey kill her Caylee?

Caylee Anthony died sometime in the middle of June 2008. Due to the complete decomposition of her remains, the exact date and cause of her death remains unknown. Her mother, Casey Anthony, was acquitted of all charges relating to the child's death by a jury at trial on July 5, 2011.


Did casey Anthony kill her daughter or is that just suspect?

Casey was the last one to be seen with Caylee alive which was proven by Casey's friends, her father and during police intergation when claiming she dropped Caylee off at her nanny's home. When Caylee's remains were found not to far from the Anthony's home she was found in a laundry bag which Cindy Casey's mother claimed to be missing a laundry bag, there was duck tape found on Caylee's mouth which same brand of duck tape was in the Anthony's garage, a winnie the pooh blanket that matched the rest of Caylee's bedding set in her room, along with Casey's car the truck smelling like death but was dissputed by her defense team saying it was the garbage that was in the truck of her car, I believe she did kill her daughter but while Caylee was missing Florida had a hurricane and were Caylee's remains were found I believe from sitting in the water cause that area was flooded didn't help with erasing alot of the evidence needed to prove Casey did it. so wasn't really proven for sure how she was killed. even though the duck tape on the mouth should of been a dead give away. alot of speculation's that cloriform was used but was only alittle in the trunk of her car but just wasn't enough to prove she did it. or atleast that is how the jury say it!


Did Casey Anthony plead guilty if so how did she kill her daughter?

Casey Anthony pled 'Not Guilty' and was brought to stand trial in the death of her daughter. She was acquitted of all charges relating to the death of her daughter by a jury on July 5, 2011. Acquitted does not equal innocent, it means that the jury did not find the evidence sufficient to convict her. The only person who knows how Caylee died is not talking and even if she did, no one would really believe her. Casey Anthony is on official record as a liar and a story teller. The same jury did convict her of lying, for which she received a sentence of four years in jail.


Why did kc Anthony kill her douthert?

Casey Anthony was ruled not guilty in the account of murder for her daughter. She was however, ruled guilty on accounts of lying to police.


Did Casey Anthony really kill Caylee?

Just because she was aquitted does not mean she was not resposible for her daughter's death. The circumstantial evidence alone was overwhelming. I think the jury's point of view was 'case not proven' beyond a resonable doubt. It is difficult trying to get inside someone else's head in the hope of understanding their decisions.


When did Casey Anthony kill Caylee Anthony?

Caylee Anthony's body was found in a wooded area near the Anthony home on December 11, 2008, five months after she was last seen alive on June 16, 2008. The body was completely decomposed making it impossible for an autopsy to determine a time or cause of death. Since the child was never seen again after June 16th, it is assumed that she died on that day or shortly thereafter.It was not shown at trial that the murder was committed by Casey Anthony beyond a shadow of a doubt, but the jury in this case did not find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the legal standard. The majority of the professionals involved and the public at large disagree with the jury's verdict.


Why won't Casey Anthony say where her daughter is?

Why Won't Casey Anthony Say Where Her Daughter Caylee Is?This is an extremely complex case. Casey has been caught is so many lies that it is difficult to know when she is telling the truth and it's exasperating not only the police, but the media and the public as most of us dislike to hear of a child missing and have little patience with a mother that doesn't look after her child. However, the media is not helping nor 'Nancy Grace' and it's become a media circus. There are theories that Casey wanted one of her girlfriends to adopt her child (told to police by the friend of Casey) and that one of her friends has Caylee and Casey doesn't want to tell the police for fear her friend or friends will get into trouble legally for hiding Caylee. Casey did not report her child missing immediately and at first the police felt that Casey's daughter was still alive and she was hiding her from over bearing grandparents (Casey's lawyers to this day believes that Caylee is alive) but, unfortunately, there has been recent forensic evidence in the trunk of Casey's car that there was a human body there (decay) and chloroform. There has been no information released to media whether forensic evidence is that of Caylee. Casey is being indicted for murder without a body so there must be some evidence. A mother with a missing child doesn't go on a shopping binge and pay for it by stealing money from a female friend by forging checks! This whole case is a mystery and either Casey is innocent; hiding things she knows about her daughter's disappearance and is mentally imbalanced (which does not make one a murderess) or, she is guilty of killing her daughter Caylee and has done so with the help of someone else she prefers not to get involved with. The public will just have to wait to see if Casey will confess to whether she did or didn't murder her daughter. At the present time she is saying she did not kill her daughter.Casey is all about control (perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree). One of the subconscious motivations of a habitual liar is that lies control the situation and the people who want to know the truth. A habitual liar will tell you that they had toast for breakfast if they had cereal; the liar controls the truth and controls what you know, even when it doesn't matter. In an initial interview with the lead detective, he asked Casey, 'How does lying to us help us find your child?' Her response was, 'It doesn't.' That was her complete response. By telling him nothing, she remained in control and there was nothing that he could do about it.In an unusual stroke of luck, her silence and misdirection worked well for her as the jury acquitted her on the basis of reasonable doubt. If Casey chooses to confess any part of her responsibilty in the death of her daughter, she can do so without fear of prosecution. But if she does 'confess', she will never be able to tell the whole truth because she is incapable of doing that.


Did Casey Anthony kill her own daughter?

According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty in the death of her daughter on July 5, 2011. A not guilty verdict does not necessarily mean that she did not kill or cause the death of her daughter. It means that the jury did not find the evidence against her compelling enough to convict her. Many people still believe that she is responsible for the child's death. Witnesses testified that she was a great mother but we also know that Casey was adept at faking many things. Her supporters believe that she had no reason at all to kill her daughter, but one of the conflicts brought out at trial was Casey's issues with her mother's need to control her; that control was, in part, her mother's care and control of the child. She may have killed Caylee to break the control her mother exerted. An opinion of my own is that the child was three, soon to be four years old. Children of that age are well known for speaking what's on their mind and asking embarrassing questions out of honest curiosity. It's part of their intellectual development. Casey may have seen that her false life and her lies would soon be coming to light. The fact that the duct tape was not removed from the dead child is a hint at that possibility. Since Casey Anthony can no longer be prosecuted further in the death of her daughter and no other suspects have come to light, we most likely will never know for sure who killed Caylee or why she died. Casey Anthony is legally not guilty of killing her daughter but the public is free to think what they like.


Is casey Anthony guitly?

yes she did and i don't know why but it makes me very mad when people kill innocent little girls


Why did Casey Anthony kill Caylee?

Under US law, a person charged with a crime is considered innocent by the court until such a time that a case has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt against them (that's reasonable doubt, not beyond a shadow of a doubt). The case is currently being presented to a jury (May through July 2011 approximately) and the motive for the child's death may or may not be determined. Why the child died is not the matter being decided at trial, only if Casey Anthony deliberately or accidently, while commiting child abuse, killed her or not. According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty on July 5, 2011.
