    Media is all over this - everyone thinks she's guilty but they don't have the hard evidence to prosecute her yet. Im surprised no boardsies have heard of this but I guess its happening in my neck of the woods down in Central Florida.
    the brief wrote:
    Casey Anthony, 22, told police she dropped off her daughter at a babysitter on June 9, and when she went back to get her, Caylee and the babysitter -- a woman she called Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez -- were gone.

    Anthony did not report her daughter was missing until five weeks later, when her parents questioned her about the girl's whereabouts.
    What follows is a timeline of events in the case of 22-year-old Casey Anthony and her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. The dates presented here are based on police files, court documents, Internet accounts, and eyewitness statements.

    June 9 – Between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., Casey Anthony allegedly drops Caylee off with her nanny, Zenaida Hernandez-Gonzalez, at the Sawgrass Apartments on South Conway Road.
    Casey moves out of her parent's house and in with her ex-boyfriend, Ricardo Morales, and friend, Amy Huizenga.
    June 9 to June 12 – Casey tells her parents that she is having Hernandez-Gonzalez babysit Caylee so she can go on a business trip for Universal Studios.
    June 12 – Family friends allegedly spot Caylee in a shopping center near the Orange-Seminole county line. She was reportedly wearing a pink and blue outfit and white-rimmed sunglasses.
    June 12 to June 14 – Christine Chester, a friend of Casey’s, says that she went for a walk with Casey and Caylee on one of these dates.
    June 14 – Casey allegedly logs into her MySpace account and leaves a message on a profile allegedly belonging to her boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro. The message, time-stamped 8:05 a.m., read, "You're absolutely my favorite." It remains unclear if Anthony ever replied, as the majority of Casey's comments from that period have been deleted.

    Read the Burglary Report June 25 – Casey calls her ex-boyfriend, Jessie Grund, and asks him if he wants to get together. During the conversation, Casey allegedly tells Jessie that Caylee is spending the weekend at the beach with her "nanny."

    July 3 – Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, allegedly posts the following message* to her MySpace blog:
    Subject: My Caylee is missing
    Current mood: Distraught
    "She came into my life unexspectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don’t know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankfull for all of the love and support given to her. A mother’s love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angel?" [sic throughout].

    Trust no one, only yourself.
    With great power, comes great consequence.
    What is given can be taken away.
    Everyone Lies.
    Everyone Dies."*The message has been deleted.
    July 15 - Amy Huizenga tells Cindy Anthony where her daughter is staying. Amy later accuses Casey of stealing checks and $700.
    Cindy picks up Casey and places three calls to 911, telling authorities that she wants her daughter arrested for stealing money and a car.

    well the mother doesnt have a chance of getting out of jail until the 17th so the police have until then to put together a concrete case - no pun intended.
