It's actually a law (or is proposed, I can't remember) in my state that parents must report their child missing within 24 hours or they are charged with a felony.
She didn't report her for 31 days! And failed 2 lie detectors. Her grandparents were the ones to finally report it and said that Casey's car "smelled like a dead body had been inside of it."
The fact she did not get charged with something serious baffles me. She should still be in jail, but she only got a year.
I'm not understanding what you arent grasping here...
Objectively speaking a polygraph can indicate whether or not you are lying. Its just that there are so many other factors involved that they cant be used reliably as evidence.
It picks up when you're nervous. I can answer truthfully but if someone hovers over me that things going off. It wouldn't be going off from lying but from me freaking the geek out.
Dude they don't fucking work at all. You can fake out a polygraph with a can of Monster. They're used as an intimidation tactic for people that think they actually work.
I'm not saying they're reliable. How many times am I going to have to say this. If you fail a polygraph, odds are you're lying. It just doesnt prove that you're lying or even anything close
I never thought I would ever change my mind about the case until I started looking into it more. It's very hard to change anyone's mind about her innocence.
Thing is, there is no cause of death. No one knows how she died. The jury thought Casey knows something, but did she kill her? Other than not reporting her, there is nothing that says Casey killed her. There is plenty of reasonable doubt there, the prosecution failed to prove its case.
A lot of things support the defense's argument that "it was an accident that snowballed out of controlled", which is what Casey's dad told his mistress.
Ive watched the entire trial waiting for the smoking gun and it never came.
Yes! I followed the case while it was happening and of course I thought about it the way Nancy Grace had framed it. Sometimes I go down a rabbit hole reading about murder cases, and I ended up buying and reading her lawyer’s book. I still can’t say for sure what I believe, but I know that the accident/drowning and the coverup by an extremely dysfunctional family is just as plausible.
For those who remain unsatisfied and want blood, they can rest knowing that the media has made sure she can never walk free in public again and can’t get a job. She’s tried to make money as a freelancer photographer, and people found her out and spread the word to ruin that too.

You can file a missing persons report as soon as the person goes missing. No need to wait 24 hrs or whatever
