Evil: Mother Fails To Report Missing Child For Five Weeks, Claiming She's Conducting "Her Own Investigation"

Police say the case is "baffling." Actually, it's pretty clear-cut.

When Caylee's mother, Casey, was contacted by officers, it was determined that she apparently never told anyone that her daughter was missing.

Detectives said Anthony said she was doing her own investigation into her daughter's disappearance over the past five weeks, Local 6 reported.

The woman also said she saw movies and reports that if people in similar situations went to police, they had gotten hurt.

Just wondering what the hell movie she claims she saw this in. There is the old kidnapping trope of "Don't contact the police or the kid dies," but there is no ransom demand here. So she thinks that when a kid goes missing, if you report it to the cops, the cops... beat the shit out of you?

Anthony said her daughter was with a babysitter at the Sawgrass apartments but on June 9, the sitter did not answer the door.

Detectives said they checked with apartment management and learned that no one has lived in the apartment for five months.

Late Wednesday, Caylee's alleged baby sitter was tracked down by detectives and the woman said she has never cared for the missing child.

Investigators also said that Casey does not work where she initially clamed to be employed.

Officers said she admitted to lying throughout her interrogation, von Ancken reported.

"It is difficult to sort through what we are being told," Orange County sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said.

Also, detectives said Anthony did not show any emotion over the loss of her child. She did not cry or give any indication she was legitimately worried.

Since investigators cannot get a straight story, they are focusing on finding Caylee.

The mother has reportedly contacted O.J. Simpson, also a noted amateur detective with some experience at "finding the real killers."

Corrected: I was got some parts of this story confused, confusing the alleged babysitter for the mother; I've deleted that.
