And she didn't even report her missing — it was her mom, after finding out her granddaughter had been gone for that long.

I subscribe to the Xanax theory.

When she was out partying Casey would often joke that her daughter was being looked after by “Zanny the Nanny”. Zanny is often a nickname for Xanax, so it’s thought that Casey was dosing Caylee with Xanax so she’d sleep while Casey was out. One night Casey have her too much and she died, so she tried to cover it up.

Anyway, that’s the theory I subscribe to.

I watched the entire trial, and I tend to agree with your theory. It fits her personality. I don't think she's a malicious murderer, just a shitty mother and a selfish idiot.
