(NECN/WFTV) - Court documents show 22-year-old Casey Anthony, the mother of missing Florida toddler, Caylee Anthony, wanted to give the girl up for adoption before she was born.
Documents released by prosecutors Monday show Casey Anthony's mother insisted that she keep the child. Three-year-old Caylee has been missing since June.
The documents show a manager at the wrecker yard where the Anthony's car was towed told detectives it smelled like another car once stored on the lot, in which a man committed suicide.
Cindy Anthony told detectives she removed a kitchen knife, Caylee's backpack and a baby doll from the car and it had a strong unidentifiable odor.
Casey insisted she did not hard her daughter, but admitted that she purposely misled investigators.
Documents show those investigators got tough with Casey to get her to tell the truth.
Hours before her arrest, one detective told her Caylee is "out there somewhere and her rotting body is starting to decompose."
Casey said "I know my mom will never forgive me. I'm never gonna forgive myself because there's that chance that I might not see Caylee again and I don't want to think about that."
The documents also revealed that Casey Anthony's mother called her a sociopath and warned friends to stay away from her.
Investigators say Casey continues to hold back information.
The stuff is hitting the fan now......
The grandmother should have let her give the kid up for adoption if she knew she had emotional problems. It’s horrible.
Hindsight is 20.20 I know. But her first instinct was to put her baby up for adoption. She was too young, too immature to raise her baby, and adoption would have been a good thing for her to have done.
It’s sad that she was talked out of adoption because clearly she wasn’t a good mother.
WOW!!
I never heard about the kitchen knife in the car or her quote about, “my mom will never forgive me” before either.
There’s no hard evidence here. This is not real news. We’re waiting to see the results of lab results that will impact the case. It’s not here though.
You know I think that little girl’s grandmother may not be as deluded as she acts. At first she was the one who called the police and was frantic about the girl’s disappearance and said the car smelled like a dead body. Only later did she start publicly defending her daughter. Maybe she doesn’t really think the daughter is innocent at all. I think she may be trying to be the “good cop” and get her daughter to tell her what happened because she still hopes the granddaughter may be alive somewhere and able to be rescued.
Some family could have had a beautiful child.If the mother
knew about her daughter,she’s was stupid for insisting that
she keep the baby.
Everyday another new “twist”. Note that her mother even called her a SOCIOPATH.....................
Look at her eyes....they are cold and empty. It sure doesn’t look good for her daughter. The poor little girl deserved better than this.
George is a retired homicide investigator. They are desperately trying to save their daughter from a long prison sentence...........

Maybe, but I thought it was interesting that the grandmother was the one who called the police and got her daughter arrested in the first place, and only started defending her and making up stupid stories about stale pizza later after the trail seemed to be cold. Maybe she’s trying to coax her daughter into thinking she’s on her side. I might do that if I had a daughter I thought was a sociopath and feared for my granddaughter’s life.
Or maybe grandma is a psycho too, I guess these things do run in families sometimes. Sad story.
I missed that the first time through, because I was shocked at Casey’s quote.
It’s not uncommon for a pregnant teenager to start the adoption process and to back out of it, but it certainly doesn’t add any thing positive to her case.
Do you think with the tropical storm and the DNC going on, the police are going to slowly let things trickle out in order to twist the screws a little more?
Yesterday I posted an article about Nebraska’s new safe haven law that permits parents to abandon unwanted children at hospital at any age.

I though it was silly yesterday, but now I wonder if it might be better.
All because she wanted a pet/grandchild.
Perhaps she did give her up for “adoption” and just gave her away. The bounty hunter maintains he’ll have Caycee located by Friday.
I thought the phone call to 911 sounded a little rehearsed and not very convincing....... Maybe she’s trying to coax her daughter into thinking she’s on her side.
Yes, probably, but the cops have apparently already determined that the little girl is dead and disposed of. They most assuredly have told the grandparents as much, especially seeing that George is a retired cop. I guess these things do run in families sometimes.
Oh yeah, I know all about it..............;^)
Meant to say Caylee.
They would prefer not to release anything at all, but the Orlando Slantinel (!) filed a request for information. That's how all this stuff was revealed in the first place.
