From a young age Casey was raped by her father at young age and it was never acknowledge by the family because they had an image to uphold in the white picket fence community they lived in and people feel this was reflected in the death f Caylee, “The defense claims that Caylee died by an accidental drowning in the family pool and then the body was hidden to cover up secrets.

Duct tape with Caylee’s hair on it was also found, possibly on the skull(wftv.com). There was no fingerprints on the duct tape because it had been sitting outside exposed to the elements for so long that any oils from the fingerprint would have been long washed away.
