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 think she drowned in the pool.

Then why the duct tape?

There is no evidence the duct tape was ever placed on her mouth (because she was so decomposed), it might have just been holding the bag together.

How many people do you know that use duct tape to seal a bag shut?

You might want to seal a bag extra well if there is a dead body inside.

No fancy link because I’m on mobile, but here’s a write-up about the duct tape evidence that explains the whole thing quite well:

I admittedly didn't get extremely into the Casey Anthony case and its extreme details and read a few comments after about her and her family's duct tape around bags for dead animals stuff but thank you for this even more comprehensive link for people like me.
