Casey Anthony: Where is she? It’s a mystery

Where’s Casey?

“We don’t know if she’s five blocks away. It’s a mystery at this point,” HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell said today. Velez-Mitchell dismissed reports that Casey Anthony could be in Ohio.

Anthony left Orlando Executive Airport at 3 a.m. today, WFTV-Channel 9 reported.

WFTV’s Kenneth Craig, quoting a U.S. Air Force source, reported that the plane was versatile and could land on a dirt road. “Casey Anthony could be anywhere,” Craig said at noon. “The pilot is not required to — and didn’t — file a flight plan.”

Two weeks ago, Anthony was acquitted of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. She was released from the Orange County Jail this morning — an event that received extensive coverage on local channels last night and early this morning.

WFTV noted that a stream of mourners today was visiting the woods where 2-year-old Caylee’s remains were found.

HLN explored Casey Anthony’s challenges in making it in a world where she is despised. “She has basically burned all her bridges,” Velez-Mitchell said. “There’s no one she can turn to, and the defense team has said, ‘We’re her family.’ “

HLN had talked to Mark Lippman, lawyer for George and Cindy Anthony, Casey’s parents.

“George has not said she’s not welcome at the home,” Velez-Mitchell said. “Cindy wants to see her.” Lippman implied that Cindy Anthony was “quite devastated” that she couldn’t see Casey, and the parents are waiting for a call from Casey, Velez-Mitchell added.

Lippman told HLN that defense attorney Jose Baez had asked the parents to be decoys during Casey’s release.

Fran Sherman, a psychotherapist, told HLN that request was “extremely devastating” and that Casey evidently wanted to punish her parents for taking Caylee’s side.

Casey Anthony’s departure set off a guessing game about her destination. WFTV talked to a man in Puerto Rico who said it would be a bad idea for Anthony to go there because people were upset about the verdict. WFTV anchor Jamie Holmes listed Houston, Ohio, New York and Los Angeles as possible destinations.

And what of Casey’s chance to make money on her story? HLN’s Nancy Grace told ABC’s News that it will be up to the public whether Anthony profits from a book or movie deal.
