The Caylee Anthony Case: What’s Missing Here Is The Truth
Holy hell, these people are beyond the pale. Last night Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of missing two-year old Caylee, did yet ANOTHER media interview, this time with CNN’s Larry King. The transcript of the video shows us a very important component in this case. Cindy Anthony and Casey Anthony are now working together to conceal the truth, cover up for their lies and protect only one person, Casey Anthony.
First of all, I have NO idea whether missing toddler Caylee Anthony is merely missing, or the victim of a homicide. I am NOT a homicide detective, a psychologist or a forensic expert — but — I am a mother, an informed person and someone very interested in the safety of children. Everything in my experience, all my instincts, all my perceptions of these types of cases leads me to believe that without a doubt, Casey Anthony is lying about her daughter’s disappearance.
Unfortunately, since Casey, Cindy and those close to the Anthonys refuse to be honest about the history of this family and Casey’s past behavior, we are forced to draw our own conclusions. That said, forensic evidence does not lie, so there is hope that despite the Anthony’s feeble attempts to protect their daughter Casey, those leading this investigation will likely be able to piece together what has happened to little Caylee.
Disturbing Messages and Leading Up To The 911 Calls
Casey Anthony left her parents residence with her daughter Caylee on or around June 9th. While the family suggests Caylee and Casey left on a “short trip” enough information has surfaced since to suggest the mother/grandmother Cindy and daughter/mother Casey had a falling out. Read an alleged posting on Cindy’s MySpace message (since deleted) left on July 4th:
Subject: My Caylee is missing
Current mood: Distraught“She came into my life unexspectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don’t know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankfull for all of the love and support given to her. A mother’s love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angel?”
According to reports, on July 4, Casey Anthony is said to have spent the entire day partying with friends, but where was Caylee?
Then on July 7, Casey Anthony is alleged to have left this message on her MySpace account (message has since been deleted):
The message, titled “Diary of Days,” read:
“On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken
Trust no one, only yourself.
With great power, comes great consequence.
What is given can be taken away.
Everyone Lies.
Everyone Dies.”
Clearly, these two messages are chilling indications as to what was at the core of the relationship between the mother/daughter triangle of these two women and the missing little girl. Were these coded messaged from mother to daughter? We know from the three 911 calls, that Cindy Anthony was aware her granddaughter was missing for some time. We can hear in one of the 911 calls Cindy telling Casey, who begged for one more day to locate Caylee, that she’s given her enough time and she was bringing in the authorities. This could constitute an obstruction of justice, but so far, Orlando police seem to be playing a game of cat and mouse with this family, knowing at some point they will trip up on their own lies.
Slimy Lawyer Joins The Fray
As if this case weren’t convoluted enough, Casey defense lawyer, Jose Baez throws his hat in the three ring circus. It is evident from the very beginning that this guy saw this case as his chance to make a name for himself. Like many criminal lawyers, Baez oozes a smarminess that is almost palpably slimy. He continues to block his client from speaking candidly to police about Caylee’s whereabouts, and offers half-truths and legal double-speak in an effort to obscure the truth. Fortunately, his motion to have future jail conversations between Casey and her family blocked was struck down by presiding judge Stan Strickland yesterday. But you can’t blame the guy for trying.
The first conversations leaked over the weekend featuring Casey speaking to her family were damaging enough. Riddled with F-bombs, a lack of emotion and concern for her missing child Caylee, Casey’s overwhelming desire to focus the conversation on getting Casey’s boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro’s phone number dominated the conversation. Since those conversations were released to the public, Casey has put on a new persona, but she can’t fool us can she. We know what lurks in her heart.
There has been endless speculation about Caylee’s current whereabouts and well-being, and as I said yesterday, I pray to my Maker, that Caylee is alive, and Casey is telling the truth. I haven’t slept in days, and clearly I am obsessed with wanting to know where Caylee is.
Truth be told, these types of stories tear me apart. No one wants to imagine a mother harming or otherwise not caring for their child. But it happens. Susan Smith told a web of lies about her two sons being kidnapped only for the world to be horrified by the truth. She strapped them in their car seats and sent them in a lake to drown, alone and helpless. More often than not, victims of crime are often committed at the very hands of those they’ve entrusted to love and nurture them.
While we wait for the forensic evidence to be returned, we will all sit in tormented fear of not know what happened to Caylee. So far the only “truths” we know in this case are:
*cadaver dog hit on something in Casey’s abandoned car trunk and her parents back yard
*a suspicious stain from the car’s trunk is being tested
*hair fibers resembling that of missing toddler Caylee and dirt from the trunk are being tested
*Casey lied about where she worked, as well as, where and when her daughter was last seen
*Casey’s mother and a police detective both noted a smell of decomposition in Casey’s abandoned (and apparently stolen) car
*two gas canisters were reported stolen from the Anthony home during the month Caylee went missing, and Casey has prior history of stealing gas, money, credit card and checks from family and friends
*no composite sketch has been released of “alleged kidnapper” Zaneida Hernandez-Gonzalez, nor has anyone matching this person been found
* Pictures of a partying Casey Anthony have surfaced on the web during the time Caylee has been reported to have been missing.
Feel free to add any other pieces of evidence I’ve missed in this case.

D, I’ve been following glosslip since around Jan/ Feb, and I must say that I really enjoy reading all the contributions to the site. I keep checking back constantly now to see if you have updates on this story, keep up the great work!
Those party pictures are incredibly disturbing and sickening. What mother would be smiling like that knowing their child is missing? Most of all, what mother would be out partying instead of doing everything in her power to find her daughter, if she was, in fact kidnapped? As a mother of two little girls, I can’t even comprehend that.
Comment by delilah — July 30, 2008 @ 1:30 pm
I am so sickened by this. I continue to check up on any new updates to see if maybe there is a chance this little girl is found alive. I don’t understand how this happens to people, I have three small children and could never imagine harming them in any way, I don’t know how someone could ever get to that point. The stealing of gasoline is just makes me absolutely sick to my stomach, because one can only imagine what happened to that sweet little girl.

Just saw this, supposedly Casey recently told another inmate that her ex-boyfriend has her daughter

Keeps getting stranger and stranger…
Comment by delilah — July 30, 2008 @ 2:01 pm
Wish that were the case and Caylee was safe, but wouldn’t the police have already checked the ex-boyfriend out? How bizarre….and wouldn’t he by now have brought her daughter to her parents so that he doensn’t get into trouble?
Comment by mb — July 30, 2008 @ 2:07 pm
I wish that were the case, too, but I’m having a hard time believing anything that comes out of Casey’s mouth the more she opens it. I just figured I would post that link to add to the discrepencies of Casey’s stories. No wonder the lawyer doesn’t want the tapes released, she just keeps digging herself deeper and deeper every time she opens her mouth…

Casey is a liar, and probably a murderer….her mother is afraid if she turns Casey in, she will loose her daughter as well as her grandaughter….she reminds me of a former co-worker of mine, who believed everything her daughter said, even after we her co-workers confronted her with truth about her daughter when we found it…these are sick dysfunctional people.
Comment by sandi — July 30, 2008 @ 3:29 pm
I am so glad to find a website that speaks the TRUTH!! I had my suspicions when she initially came forward saying the child was missing for more than a month. As a mother, you don’t let your child go missing for a month, while you’re out partying and kickin’ your heels up, without any concerns. She’s not worried because she knows where that child is…
For the grandmother, I’ve had my fill of her!! Someone stated earlier that they are the epitome of dysfunctional and I agree. The grandmother acts like a psychiatric patient, aside from the stress of looking for her grand-daughter and dealing with her untruthful daughter.
I pray for this innocent baby, above all else.
Comment by Texas Mother — July 30, 2008 @ 4:10 pm
This story breaks my heart. As most of us are mothers on here, we all know what a gut wrenching feeling it is to lose a child momentarily in the grocery store, or while they’re ‘hiding’ in a clothes rack at Target….the panic is instant and doesn’t let up until we hear a giggle or find them. Now, having said that..can you imagine GOING TO A NIGHTCLUB while your little one is missing? Hardly. The thought makes me sick to my stomach. And she’s having a good time no less….what a monster. She knows exactly what happened to that baby and where she is. Some speculate she has sold her….but why would she have stolen the gas? That kinda tells me she didn’t have the money to purchase the gas. So I don’t think that’s the case, but who knows. I’m puzzled about the sniffer dogs finding scents in the grandparents back yard. Did Casey come back home during her month long ‘party’ to bury innocent Caylee during the night sometime, come back to dig the body up during the night to move it? I mean, it really doesn’t make sense. Nothing makes sense in this case. Casey must be feeling the heat by now, one would think. Though it all looks pretty grim for baby Caylee I’ll keep praying she’s found alive, safe and has no clue what her mother did to her.

This is just not normal behavior, I am so glad the Judge has been blunt and hard on this so called “mother”. She needs to sit in her cold jail cell, with no contact from the outside world, period, let the prosecution put their case together, and throw the book at her. Seems to me there is enough circumstancial evident, including her being uncooperative attitude, I am glad she had a mikey mouse lawyer, he doesn’t know what the heck is going on. This is like a 3 ring circus. And then there is the dear old grandmother, she definitely has NOT helped in the search of her granddaughter, at this point I think she has made such a fool of herself, she has damaged her credibility SO much that I will just turn off the channel the next time I see her do an interview. That little girl is not alive people, I don’t care if it was an accident or whatever as this point, Casey did, she will have the book thrown at her. And she better not get off by using the insanity card. This is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard of, minutes, days, weeks are going by. If she was looking so hard to find Caylee, where is the Evidence that she WAS supposedly looking for her. There isn’t any folks, she’s a liar, you cannot trust a liar. This whole assinine situation is Caseys fault. It is so obvious. The thing is I really felt for this mother and her family, I have followed this story and read everything possible, at this point I have absolutely have no sympathy for them now. Little Caylee died in the hands of the one she loved, her own mother. How sick is that!
Comment by Angie — July 31, 2008 @ 12:23 am
Ever since I heard about this case it has not left my mind….I believe that the grandmother (Cindy) has known since just a few days after the child was missing…Obviously if there is recording of her saying to her daughter(Casey) “I have given you a month to find her” so it seems to me that the grandmother should be arrested as well….In due time the grandmother herself will trip up in all these t.v. interviews……..also, why have we not heard of anything of the biological father of Caylee?
Comment by Jennifer — July 31, 2008 @ 11:44 am
Here is my take on this…I believe that something did happen to Caylee and it was by the hands of her own mother…I think Casey killed her daughter accidently or not, my guess by her showing no emotions it wasn’t an accident and buried her in the back yard at which some point her mother becomes aware of it and the child gets dug up and moved that is why the dirt and stain was found in the back of the trunk…and they abandon the car… and the reason being the length of time that has lapsed before the authorities were ever involved gave them the chance to come up with elaborate story of the babysitter kidnapped her….there is no real pleaing to this babysitter to bring the child home.
What was the reason for the Casey to abandon the car?
And who goes on a trip to figure out if they are going to move out of their parents home?
None of this makes since at all…Also why is her myspace comments deleted? I have scrolled from the very begining of her comments and it starts on: May 29, 2005 and stops on: April 24,2008 then picks back up on July 4, 2008……Okay where is May and June comments? She talked on there everyday or every other day for 2 years straight then stops for 2 months and no one asks her why she hasn’t been on? My guess is cause she was still commenting back in forth on there and some one has deleted those comments….so why? If she has nothing to hide then why delete them?
Comment by Jennifer — July 31, 2008 @ 2:55 pm
I have been following this case since it first hit the media and from the beginning i have felt that poor little Caylee is no longer with us. No mother waits to report her child missing. Lets give her the fact that she might have left her in the care of a babysitter…given that any mother would have only waited a matter of hours before contacting police if she could not find or reach the babysitter. I look into the story every day praying that i am wrong and that they find her alive. I have a daughter who is 2 months younger than Caylee and I feel such heartbreak over this story. I look at her and think how could anyone hurt these little ones who put such trust in us to protect and love them. I wish they would just let a civilian or even another inmate(with the motive of reduce jail time) into a cell with casey and left the beat the crap out of her until she tells them where caylee can be found, let us bring this little one home and either celebrate or mourn her life…Mothers like her are sick!!!!!
Comment by Randee — July 31, 2008 @ 5:49 pm
My thoughts are that the reason why the MySpace site cannot be viewed is because the officials have removed it, and are going to use that as evidence.
Comment by Angie — July 31, 2008 @ 7:58 pm
Can we say dysfunctional, George filed for divorce from Cindy, he knew they were crazy. He filed right after Christmas 12/29/2005. Caylee was only a few months old. I’m sure the lies started then and he couldn’t take it.
Search for Anthony, George.

I was reading that Casey’s friend Amy loaned her car to Casey while she was on vacation and had picked her up from the airport in Amy’s car. I wonder if the police have searched this car for evidence? Just thinking that might be the car Casey was using after she ditched the other one at the check cashing place. Considering Casey was writing herself checks from this girls account while she was out of town. She was probably there cashing those checks.

I pray this little baby is still alive. If she is, and is found, I hope she is placed with stable,loving

Didn’t know George and Cindy are divorced.

Casey Anthony is a lying whore. Check out the pics the news couldn’t show you of her partying on the web! If she did kill the kid I hope she burns.
Comment by shes a whore — August 4, 2008 @ 11:04 pm
Well my feeling is that Caylee is no longer with us. Even though Casey doesn’t look nervous in the jail, she is a good con artist. Cindy hasn’t learned to zip her mouth yet and George lost it yesterday with the media so the family is falling apart. I don’t know how one reacts in a situation like this but the family knows more than they are letting us believe. Cindy did an interview with Fox News and said she could forgive her daughter no matter what happened. That says alot to me. Cannot trust any of the family members at this point and it makes it difficult for volunteers to do their work. Happy birthday Caylee, you beautiful little girl. I pray that they find her so we can have closure on this case. It makes me sick every day that this goes on. We all need closure.
Comment by Lisa Manson — August 9, 2008 @ 11:10 pm
Well I sure don’t see anything that says Cindy and George are divorced. #19 said they applied for a divorce. I would find that hard to believe looking at the two of them. Today they say that Caylee could have drowned in the pool. Well, why now? What has led them to think that after all this time? The fact that Casey wouldn’t visit with her parents last night at the jail speaks volumes. She can’t face them anymore and has run out of excuses as to what happened to Caylee. Lies only work for so long and then what!!! She has run into a brick wall and will get very lonely one of these days. Refuses phone calls, jail visits so what next. I know I am tired of Nancy Grace showing the same stuff over and over again. Can she not give us something new to watch? I know those 911 tapes off by heart now. I want something new and really wish they would release the DNA results. It would give people some idea what to do and where to go. They are just guessing at places to search which I understand that as what else have they got to go on. Well, I needed to vent as this case is so frusterating…Goerge and Cindy are waking up now and realize her daughter is portrayed as a liar and the media says it every day now. So, it is a recovery search now and God bless all those people who are out there every day looking for Caylee. I pray they find her dead or alive. Just bring her home.
Comment by Lisa Manson — August 12, 2008 @ 12:10 am
I have a daughter who is 7 years old and if my daughter was missing my parents would be asking all kinds of questions. I think the mother and father of Casey know what happened…how in the hell can they not know??? It is their house that is being searched. I really believe they are all in on this together. If I had a granddaughter and she was missing I would be so furious with my daughter that I wouldn’t want to see her. I sure in the hell wouldn’t wash a pair of pants that smelled like a decomposed body to cover something up and I wouldn’t report on a 911 call that my daughters trunk smelled like a decomposed body unless I “knew” what a decomposed body smells like. I mean come on is the world so stupid to think that the grandparents look like grieving grandparents??? Do we see them cry??? They all know what happened and they are all covering it up. Put them all through a lie detector. For God’s sake it is a little innocent child that is probably dead. What the hell wake up America…that goes for the police department too.
Comment by michelle bowers — August 12, 2008 @ 2:59 pm
I have been following this case a week after it happened. This family is so disfunctional. Why would you not know that your daughter or son had a mental problem and was such a liar. There are so many unanswered questions. I would like to know what did Casey spend all that $45,000 on and how long had she been using the credit cards? Don’t they go over the statements to find where she used the cards and where is all the stuff she used it on? Was it in her car and why did she leave the car? How long had she been with Tony when Cindy found her> I pray that Kaylee is alive and that we will get answers soon.

That is the original Lipp Gloss and I have made mention of this to Karen. She is looking into it. I hope she can find out what is going on. As for Caylee, time is running out. Casey gets out of jail on Monday, won’t that be interesting. We shall see what moves she makes once free. God help her cause I don’t think she has too many friends right now. They want to know where Caylee is. Casey holds the key.
Comment by Lisa Manson — August 15, 2008 @ 6:33 pm
This girl is lying. She is never going to tell what really happened to her daughter. She is a selfish, terrible, horrible person who cared only about partying. If she wanted to go out partying, or on a trip, why not just leave Caylee with her mom and walk out. It sounds like she has done everything she’s always wanted to do anyway, i.e., steal, lie, fight with her parents, etc. Just wait. She’ll be taking bids on a book or movie about this next. What a disgusting pig.

Casey was free on bond yesterday. What a circus it turned out to be. Even her lawyer looks like a fool at this point. Just keep her quiet and everything will go away. What about little Caylee? Who is looking for her? This is so sad that I just cannot wrap my head around it. That girl will NOT talk and we will never know what she did with Caylee.
Comment by Lisa Manson — August 22, 2008 @ 6:38 pm
This case is about the tragedy that has taken a beautiful child and made her a crime victim. It is also about family dynamics, law enforcement, media coverage. It is about the psychology of pathological lying, narcissism, enabling and child rearing. It is about personal perceptions. It is about right and wrong, understanding, faith and forgiveness. It is about grief and denial. It is about the soul and the soul-less. It is about love, life and death. It is about the rush to judgment. It is about fear.
Because it encompasses so much we are drawn into it in a very deep way and for a longer period of time.
It seems that everyone who has any dealings with this case, comes under a well tuned microscope. It is the kind of case that begs us to take a very deep breath of fresh air every now and then, because we are getting so much information on a daily,if not hourly, basis. Everything about this case is almost too much to process emotionally and intellectually
We live in an electronic age and unfortunately we have become so comfortable with instant gratification that we push the media and law enforcement officials for more.. more.. more. The problem with this is that we often get an incomplete or false picture of the whole case and then times crop up when we have to go back and reassess the whole situation.
Law enforcement was not having any luck at all in getting Casey Anthony to talk. How could we bring the child home when the mother was stonewalling??
I think that the Padilla’s came into this with pure hearts. They wanted to see if they could get Casey Anthony to talk. They wanted to help bring Caylee home. Leonard and Tony P. put their money where their mouth was and left their own creature comforts and families behind to try and bring about needed answers.
They have every right to change their mind and then change it again as new knowledge and new circumstances come to light.
Citizens from all over the country have come out to search. People at home have set up prayer chains or made donations. Bloggers have united to try and sift through all the information in order to aid law enforcement.
The Anthony family have had so much to deal with. They have lost their precious granddaughter and they have a daughter in very deep trouble. This has all been new to them. They were just a regular family getting by day to day, like the rest of us do, when they were thrown into the spotlight. Yes, Cindy Anthony invited the media into her world but I can promise you she had no idea what the outcome was going to be. This family is devastated. It is easy for the rest of the country to sit at home and over analyze them or second guess their actions. Would any one of us want to trade places? I think not.
I want to see Caylee return home and/or at least see justice for this precious little angel but not at the expense of my own soul. I will not rush to judgment but I will continue to blog and pray for everyone involved.
