Amy Huizenga famously described a certain trait of Casey Anthony’s when she was interviewed by OCSO on July 16: “There’s no way to sleep with her talking, she just doesn’t stop. I mean I … did previously love the girl, but good Lord she talks.”
Apparently, Casey Anthony also likes to write. Reading her letters to Robyn Adams gave a glimpse into what it must have been like to listen to Casey Anthony talk. Her prose was of the run-on variety, with ramblings on a variety of topics including food, her parents, vent-talkers, God, her celebrity, attorneys, and the media. However, she only briefly touched upon the reason she had the opportunity to write the letters in the first place: her missing (and deceased) daughter Caylee.
It’s not that she ignored Caylee completely in her letters. Caylee, or “Cays” as Ms. Anthony frequently called her, is mentioned in several of the letters. When she does mention her daughter, she does so in what can be considered a loving and sentimental manner. Yet, the passages have a certain Homer Simpson quality to them.
Simpson’s fans have long known Homer to have a severe attention problem. Frequently, his lapses result in unfortunate accidents. In at least one instance, it resulted in another person’s death: Maude Flanders, beloved wife of next-door neighbor Ned Flanders. Maude was killed by a t-shirt cannon at the Springfield Speedway. Cheerleaders on the sideline were firing T-shirts at the spectators and Homer – standing directly in front of Maude – was jumping up and down trying to get them to shoot T-shirts his way. They obliged and fired off a volley at Homer, but at the last second the big guy was distracted by a bobby pin he spotted on the ground and bent over to pick it up. The T-shirts hit Maude and knocked her off the back of the grandstand. Unfortunately, her rescue was prevented because Homer had parked in the ambulance zone, impeding their rescue attempt.
Casey’s Homer Simpson qualities show up frequently, but most notably when Caylee is mentioned:

I will see my folks today and I am nervous as ever! I know I’ll be an emotional wreck later. Hell, its been a full month almost, since I’ve seen any of my family. The only one I have pictures of, is my daughter. I wish she was going to be there :-( :-( :-( Great. I’m going to make myself cry, if I’m not careful. Hmm… I wonder what I’m missing for lunch. If I’m not careful, I may end up enjoying my absence today. At least I will miss one crappy meal.
Discovery page 13623
I look at my pictures of Caylee so many times throughout the day and can’t help but smile at my little Rock * Star. I miss her, more than I can ever express in words. Somedays, the tears just won’t end, and others, I can’t stop giggling and sighing and smiling because of her beautiful smile, big hazel eyes and the belly laugh that still remains in my ear. (I just sneezed my confirmation from … [the words are cut off at the top of the page and some are hard to discern] … rarely do I just “sneeze” anymore. It tends to follow a thought, action or spoken word – prayer, praise, even the occasional joke. Rarely can I blame my whacky allergies on them. One of the few things I actually like the cold weather for – it stiffles my allergy attacks. I do like wearing cute boots and a leather jacket. And hats. Mittens. I want a leather bomber jacket. I can picture it in my mind. That and an awesome pair of biker boots.

What I wouldn’t honestly give to have my little girl back, but (1) Shes ALWAYS with me; and (2) I’ll be spending all of eternity with my girl. There’s that shiny silver lining. I hate that we’ve both lost so much since last summer, but we truly have gained so much more than either of us could have expected. As cliche as it is, the Lord does work in mysterious ways. Here’s my question… house down south or in the Carolinas? Carolinas = all 4 seasons – snow and sun and beaches and new adventures. Options – we’ve got plenty of options.

I miss my Caylee, so much, :-( but knowing that she’s waiting for me in Heaven, :sigh: honestly, is a great relief. I can’t wait to see you with Josh and Maddy. I’m adopting them as my nephew and niece. :-)
She closes page 13815 with “Here’s to a brand new year and brand new beginnings!”
The topic of Caylee’s murder is serious, but I could not help but laugh out loud when I read those passages.
A couple other items of note. First, both George and Cindy denied in media interviews, and George was quite explicit in his denials during his deposition with the state attorney, that they had any written contact with Casey. However, Casey’s letters to Robyn indicate otherwise:
Discovery page 13744
I continue to pass notes to my folks to my attorney and he brings ones back from them. At least that way, its kept private.
Discovery page 13753
My attorney is keeping tabs on my family for me, and exchanges letters between us. Its always nice to see my name written in my Mom’s handwriting. My eyes start tearing up, and I’m done!
So who’s lying?
And finally, Casey confirms Jesse’s previous statement that their relationship ended because Casey felt Jesse loved Caylee more than her:

As far as my “ex-fiance’”, ha! Long story. His dad didn’t like me at all. He never trusted me, because I’m 3 years younger than his son, and I was a single mom at 19. Like I was the first 19-year-old to have a child out of wed-lock. Give me a break. That whole family is very “Righteous” in a scary way. His dad performs “exorcisms”…yeah. I have my faith, as you know, but to them honestly, if you aren’t a self-righteous christian, you basically have the devil in your front pocket. Anyway, I wasn’t in love with Jesse, and he was in love with my daughter. Not my idea of a happy marriage.
Nothing of bombshell quality in the letters themselves, but our image of Casey Anthony does crystallize further.
