Missing Toddler’s Grandmother Cindy Anthony Ungrateful, Delusional

Cindy Anthony: Grieving, Delusional or Obsessed With Attention?

Glosslip has done its best to keep up with the latest developments in the case of the missing Florida toddler, Caylee Anthony. We are both mothers and felt tremendous agony over the loss of an innocent child and wanted to bring as much attention to her disappearance as we could in the hopes of a positive outcome. Sadly, as time has gone on it has become apparent to us that strangers and concerned citizens have shown more interest in the well-being of this little girl than her own family.

In the face of overwhelming evidence that Caylee Anthony is likely deceased, as is being reported by local and federal authorities investigating the case, we are DISGUSTED by the actions of the mother, Casey Anthony, who refuses to cooperate with authorities and more shockingly, Caylee’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony.

If you want the full background in this case, go here for our coverage. In the interest of time, I will bypass the grueling details which has led us to this point, and cut straight to the chase. Casey Anthony is a direct byproduct of her upbringing and that brings us directly to Cindy Anthony, who in my opinion is clearly a sociopath in her own right.

Cindy Anthony has done the unthinkable, she has attacked Tim Miller, the founder of Equusearch, a Texas-based search team which uses volunteers, donations and Tim’s time and resources to help find missing persons.

Tim doesn’t do this for publicity. He doesn’t need the publicity, his organization is one of the most well-known and premier groups for searching for missing and endangered persons. Not only that, Tim is a tremendously brave and courageous man. Tim himself is a victim of the cruelest type of crime, the loss of a child. Tim’s own 16-year old daughter, Laura was found murdered and after years of soul-crushing pain, Tim overcame his own grief to help others. To me, this man is the epitome of hero and for Cindy to turn her back on his efforts and that of the community of volunteers he tried to amass to help search for little Caylee, is the greatest insult to the memory of her own granddaughter.

Here’s what Cindy said about Tim Miller, after he expressed his dissatisfaction with the level of cooperation from the family in searching for Caylee:

Leonard Padilla and Tim Miller came to me under false pretenses – both claiming their sole purpose to find Caylee alive. Tim Miller misrepresented his intentions and is falsely accusing me of not cooperating with him, when it is evident his motives were to obtain publicity for his organizations at the expense of exploiting my granddaughter’s disappearance. Tim Miller tried to discredit Kid Finder’s Network by falsely stating that they tried to pull out of the search for Caylee. Mr. Miller also claims that he spent 12 hours in my home with my family including Casey when in fact he spent only a few hours total with me and minutes with Casey. This is an example of Tim Miller following in Leonard Padilla’s footsteps. Although I feel his organization has a purpose, his misrepresentation has tainted the effort of so many people with good intentions. I would have expected Tim Miller to speak with me one on one, rather than me hearing him on Nancy Grace.

Let’s just say this about the veracity of Cindy Anthony: like her daughter Casey, Cindy has proven herself to be a pathological liar as well as a protector of the evil actions on the part of her daughter Casey.

I have lost any sympathy I had for the Anthony family as of now. They are clearly not interested in finding Caylee, but rather in protecting Casey, the only “person of interest” in the case of their missing granddaughter Caylee.

To Tim Miller’s credit, his statement in response to Cindy’s character assassination of his person was measured and on target to what’s important here:

“This is about Caylee, period, the end. And I would hope if something has happened to Caylee, I would hope Cindy would want us out here finding her body too. If Cindy wants us to stop looking for her body, guess what – we are not going to.”

As I close this out, there is new information being released that an anonymous person has put up the bond to have Casey once again released on bail. Jose Baez, Casey’s attorney won’t give any details about the person who is posting Casey’s bond, but rumors are circulating that the money may come from a book deal, which may explain why the Anthonys, Cindy and George that is, have obtained their own lawyer.

Can we just get to the truth already? Enough is enough!

Wouldn’t a book deal constitute profiting from the proceeds of crime?

Comment by XCmb — September 4, 2008 @ 9:25 pm

To my understanding only the convicted person cannot profit from the crime, her family can… I’m no expert but that’s what I think.
I keep hearing this lunatic Cindy saying that Casey is being railroaded by the cops and it infuriates me. The cops care more about finding Caylee than any of these idiots do. I hope they find this child soon, Casey really needs to be brought to justice.

Comment by Karen Smith — September 4, 2008 @ 9:32 pm

I was thinking it was Dr. Phil who posted the bond this time. Didn’t he also bond out that teenaged girl who was the ring leader of the video taped beating of another teenage girl less than a year ago? And didn’t he also go to Britney Spears hospital room to “help” her, only we find out later he had planned on doing an exclusive interview with her family, in which they backed out on because they felt Dr. Phil was exploiting their daughter for the sake of ratings. Something is very fishy here. But I do agree with you, the Anthony family is becoming more delusional as the days pass.

Comment by JENSPAL — September 4, 2008 @ 9:40 pm

I just don’t understand why Casey isn’t talking. If that were MY child, I wouldn’t care who you were or what you represent, I would be running my mouth until the day I was reunited. those two (Cindy & Casey) are hiding something and that poor poor baby payed for it. Personally, if she is in fact alive, it would make sense to me if casey sold her. Because of all the media, unfortunately, I dont think thats the case. It sure takes a certain kind of person not to shed a tear over their missing child. Unfortunate.

Comment by Robbin Loughridge — September 4, 2008 @ 9:42 pm

Great write. You know that Cindy is all over this article and has probably saw the great picture above! Get ready for a Cindy dispute soon!

She thinks you are wrong. 2 + 2 = (something other than 4) In Cindy’s head!

She is pathological! Really, see the definition, unabridged & scientific. They should put both Cindy & Casey’s pictures next to the definition!

“Hey George”,

Get your neighbors shovel again and smack em both in the head to knock some sense into your 2 girls!

Comment by MS — September 4, 2008 @ 9:44 pm

I think she is delusional. I believe she loved her granddaughter and the thought that she raised a child that was capable of murdering that sweet innocent child, combined with the loss of Caylee, has pushed her over the edge. I think she’s incapable of seeing the truth just as Casey is incapable of speaking it. Very sad.

Comment by Barbara — September 4, 2008 @ 9:52 pm

Charges I hope come

Cindy for withholding phone numbers she says she has
on the dates Casey claimed Zenaida called

Casey for contact by computer and phone with a
12 year old girl while on home confinement

Casey for murder

George for throwing the American flag

George for pushing the man near his property

Cindy for possessing chloroform and possibly using it

Cindy for washing the clothes found in the car

What can I say? I’m sick of this.
Should we pray for vigilante justice?

Comment by Maria B — September 4, 2008 @ 10:02 pm

Great comment, I admire Tim Miller so much, I can’t believe the way Cindy has tried to trash him. She only makes herself look bad.

Comment by Mary — September 4, 2008 @ 10:08 pm

we are sick too, but I do NOT pray for vigilante justice. I pray for proper justice, and trust me, it will come. The Anthony family has sealed their fate by aggravating the authorities with their lack of cooperation and antagonistic attitude.

Karma will be their undoing, and as the public grows more restless, the police will unleash the body of evidence they are collecting against Casey. I have full confidence that they will get her on charges related to Caylee’s disappearance.

Vigilante justice will only rob us of the truth, so I implore the public to allow the police to do their job, and remain on the right side of the law.

This is what separates us from the Casey Anthonys of the world.

Comment by D — September 4, 2008 @ 10:08 pm

You are right on target with this post. By the way, I read a while back that Cindy and George Anthony hired a lawyer about the time the police were searching their backyard.

I have my own ideas about the chloroform residue that was found in Casey’s car and I am not quite so sure Casey had anything to do with it. My theory is George or Cindy cleaned up the mess in the trunk with chloroform or some other solvent containing that chemical. Remember, Cindy also laundered the clothes that were in the car because of the smell.

Comment by Trisha — September 4, 2008 @ 10:12 pm

I never got beyond the point that, on June 16th, Casey said “Goodbye, I’m going to work and Caylee’s going to the sitter’s house” to her father George? Where the heck did he think she worked???? They’ve never dropped that story and everything that came after it was just as, if not more, confusing!!! That poor little girl in the midst of this monstrous family!! I have a 3 yr. old granddaughter who lives 3000 miles away from me and you’d better believe I would know where my daughter is working and where my granddaughter’s babysitter was living! Poor Caylee was living under the same roof with all of them and, sad to say, she may no longer be living anywhere. It’s just disgusting. I believe in Karma and they all will be getting their just rewards!!

Comment by Joanne — September 4, 2008 @ 10:16 pm

I’m new here, but I share in believing this family is completely CRAZY…they ALL need a “psychological evaluation”!!!

FIRST OFF….Casey is narcisistic and calculating which is evident in every single one of her actions since this story broke…first, in expecting the cops and the rest of the free world to believe her bullsh*t story about the babysitter stealing her baby (poor Zaneida, another victim in her path of lies!!)…PARTYING and SLEEPING around with everybody she could get her slutty little hands on (the VERY hands she used to DISPOSE of her baby)..absolutely NO sadness, NO emotion, NO REMORSE for “losing” her child!!…I could go on and on, but you all know the rest of this pathetically insane story…

SECOND…there’s the CINDY…oh, where does one even BEGIN with that one??? She is just as big a liar as her screwed up daughter! The nut really doesn’t fall too far from the tree, as we’ve all witnessed with this whack job. She begs and pleads for help and POOF!! the help arrives but like Casey, she does absolutely NOTHING…NADA…ZILCH…to help them! And what’s worse is she has the audacity to spew her venom on them accusing these precious people of “exploiting” little Caylee’s disappearance and all because they don’t share in her belief that the child is alive??? She is unbelievable! She is a woman who lives in TRAGIC denial…this is just so very sad on so many levels…

As for the George and Lee???…Ooof!! I don’t know whether to feel sorry for them or slap them. How any of them are believing Casey’s load of crap is beyond me!! Are these people for real?? With all this evidence staring them in the face…UNDENIABLE evidence…the continue to believe their precious Casey is being “railroaded”…yeesh!, they make my teeth hurt!

To top it off, NOW there’s talks about some crazy BOOK DEAL??? Oh dear God!!, when will the madness end?????

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 10:19 pm

I almost hate to say this, but this is one of those cases where you would just like to beat the truth out of someone. I say put Casey Anthony in the trunk of the same car her daughter’s body was in until she decides to start talking…. or until they determine that HER body is decompsing…. whichever comes first.

Comment by Jeff from Memphis — September 4, 2008 @ 10:21 pm

After hearing on Nancy Grace this evening that precious little Caylee’s grandmother spoke so harshly regarding Tim Miller and Equusearch I am just STUNNED!What the heck is wrong with her! She should be thanking whatever God she believes in that someone as kind, caring and totally understanding & professional wants to help and is doing just that! I have come to the conclusion that this entire family is guilty! They are guilty of NOT loving that precious baby enough to keep her safe & out of harms way!

Comment by Josie DeSanto — September 4, 2008 @ 10:23 pm

Isn’t it strange that Casey’s parents believed for the last year or so that there daughter was going to work everyday and dropping Caylee at a babysitters. I wonder what she was doing everyday and where was Caylee during this time. Don’t you think in dinner conversation that something would have been said by Caylee to make the granparents think that maybe she wasn’t with a babysitter. Two year olds are capable of voicing what they have been doing during the day.
I have a grown daughter and grandaughter and I know that your first instinct is to protect your child,but she’s a grown woman who needs to be held accountable for not protecting Caylee. Cindy needs to do some real soul serching, she knows the truth, every mother knows when their child is lying,
Such a sad situtation, I certainly hope this book and movie deal never happens. What would that say about our society?

Comment by Connie — September 4, 2008 @ 10:23 pm

I feel sorry for Cindy if she had no hand in this but she is acting like an ass and totally not helping with Caylee… she talks about how Caylee is not dead and how she is the focus but Cindy… why are you not helping, you are as helpful as Casey who is nothing but a lying scheming selfish girl… she would leave you to die Cindy if she could profit or gain off it… she only cares for one thing herself. Who has a missing daughter and is at her boyfriends house doing laundry cleaning and cooking and doesn’t mention it ummm yeah ok - she could take care of him but not her own baby who grew inside of her… this is twisted! My mother would never enable me if I kept lying, not giving any accurate information bad track record etc. No one in her life ever had to call her at fake universal job no work number, no one noticed? If as Cindy called her “Zanny” watched Caylee for over a year as she says wouldn’t there have been one time Casey needed her mom to pick her up or Casey forgot to leave something with Zanny just something… somehow my mom who i do not even live with would have really seen the nanny who was watching my child that long. She probably use the chloroform to drug Caylee and took it too far, too many doses, too often and now she cant own up to it. She should be locked up and forgotten. I wonder what the dates were of her chloroform searcheds on the laptop then it would be pretty clear if they know when ordered if this was her routine. WHAT A SELFISH SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING CASEY ANTHONY IS. IF YOU ARE INNOCENT YOU WOULD HELP FIND YOUR BABY… YOU WOULD CRY EVERY SECOND, YOU WOULD WANT ALL THE HELP YOUR SPOILED ASS HAS BEEN OFFERED. LOTS OF MISSING KIDS DONT GET SUCH ATTENTION OR CARE BUT YOU KEEP TWISTING THINGS AND WASTING PEOPLES TIME WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH…. I HOPE CASEY ROTS IN A CELL SCARED TO COME OUT — MONSTER!

Jeff from Memphis……RIGHT ON!!!

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 10:25 pm

Both mother and grandmother are psychopaths. They don’t even seem to care about this little girl.

I hope they both rot in prison.

Comment by Rachel — September 4, 2008 @ 10:27 pm

I have from the beginning of this, thought that her parents know exactly what is going on. Her father was a cop, obviously, a very stupid one, since he should knoCaseyw that his daughters car was a crime scene and he knew it. Why do you think they cleaned the car and her clothes. Being in law enforcement, and listening to what is coming out, Casey killed her and has done something with her body, Im figuring she put it in a dumpster and that poor baby is buried in a land fill. The cops have a lot of evidence, and they want to make sure they have all the information and evidence they can get, before they charge her, they only have one chance for a murder charge..If I remember right, Scott Peterson got found guilty with a lot less evidence…

Comment by Jeannie — September 4, 2008 @ 10:28 pm

It is quite clear that George and Cindy have had a hand in the cover-up. They know what their daughter is all about. Cindy called her a sociopath & knew that she stole money from her grandmother. She said herself that the car smelled like a dead body and quickly washed her clothes. They say they have information, but can’t reveal it. Yet they are blasting the media and police for not looking for her in the right places. They aren’t about finding their granddaughter because they know that they will also lose their daughter. Sadly, the more time that goes by, the less evidence investigators will have when they do find this little girl. George knows this. Poor sweet Caylee. May she rest in peace.

Comment by Pam — September 4, 2008 @ 10:32 pm

I am a mother of 2 children…11 and 16…and I can tell you that when they are even late coming home for dinner i PANIC!!! How does one carry on for a flippin’ MONTH…KNOWING their child is gone (and in this case, DEAD) without having heart failure??? She claims she “can’t cry every 2 seconds” because she has to keep herself composed so she could talk to investigators, etc…..BLAH BLAH BLAH! she NEVER talked to them!! All she’s done this entire time is concoct lie after lie in order to try and save her scrawny little ass! She truly is without a soul…

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 10:32 pm

The whole family is in on this thing. If they did not have anything to do with the disappearance, they certainly have a lot to do with making sure no body is found. Cindy is nuts, George is spooky (there is more than meets the eye here folks), and Lee is opportunistic. Casey…well…she is one piece of work. Imagine having to admit that you once dated that trash…geez…she makes street walking whores look respectable.

Comment by Spastic Monkey — September 4, 2008 @ 10:38 pm

Yes, Jeannie………you are SO right about Scott Peterson…they are going to stick it to this douche bag and I’m going to receive great pleasure in watching it unfold…

And let me just say, I’m not a vendictive, malicious person and I don’t get off on other people’s demise, but these people are TWISTED and it’s unfortunate for little Caylee that these were the people responsible for her well being…..you can’t CHOOSE your family, but in this case, it was an INJUSTICE on little Caylee’s part to have been born of them

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 10:39 pm

hey??…does anyone know if any of these people read these??? I would LOVE to go toe to toe (verbally, of course) with Cindy

I’m so disgusted

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 10:42 pm

i am a grandparent of a 11year grandaughter who lives with me also her mother and let me tell u i have to know where my grandaughter is every minute of the day.my daughter knows that if my grandaughter leaves the house going to chuch, spending the night at friends house etc i want phone numbers and exact time she will be back.what grandparent doesn’t even check with the babysitter or even knows where she lives or phone number to call and see how her grandbaby is doing.Cindy Anthony is lying and so is Casey the truth will come out

Comment by kathy — September 4, 2008 @ 11:05 pm

Yes, I agree with you…and also, if MY grandaughter were “missing” and all the evidence pointed to my daughter, I would be DEMANDING answers. To love your child is normal…it’s natural…to lie for and cover up for is criminal!

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 11:15 pm

I’m inclined to find the sedation so Casey could party theory that went too far and killed the little girl.

Clearly this “kidnapping” wasn’t planned in advance. The cover story wasn’t thought out. One would buy large garbage bags in advance of the murder to stop body fluids from leaking into the car. And one would have plans to get rid of the body very quickly before it started decomposing and the cover story would kick in the day the child went missing.

I’m a bit hopeful the lawyer for Cindy and George might be helpful to them if he’s trying to help them with their “inability to grieve.”

Comment by Karen — September 4, 2008 @ 11:17 pm

When they find Caylees body, and they will, I wonder what the reaction will be from Cindy Anthony. I am thinking she will not cry, or shed a tear, because she will ultimately blame someone else for the murder. As Cindy and George Anthony may come across as idiots, you know they have thought about this little girl being dead. They are prepared for this, so when Caylees body is found, there will be not tears, only blame for someone who did this. And they will defend their own daughter until the end. If Caylees body had been found right away, they would have been in shock, disbelief. But now that so much time has gone, and their sociopath daughter is in jail, Caylee is only a mere thought in there heads. What I find interesting is the brother has dropped out of the spotlight, probably knows the truth and can’t stand the thought that is own mother is grandstanding in front of their home night after night. What does George do when his wife is outside making a fool of herself? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He has realized for awhile that his wife will not be controlled or told what to do. Obviously that is why Casey is so screwed up. Cindy Anthony is the most mentally incompetent in this family, Casey is just mimicking the behavior that her mom Cindy has modeled all her life.

Comment by Karen — September 4, 2008 @ 11:17 pm

Yeah…you are so right…it will NEVER be Casey’s crime it will be the “kidnapper’s”. This woman is absolutely unbelievable! She needs to spend more time on a sofa in the shrink’s office than she does running around in limo’s doing talk show interviews. She enjoys all this attention and jumps at any opportunity to “shine” in it…

case and point: Who the hell answers the door to angry protestors just to argue her daughter’s “honor”???

Yeesh!

Comment by Michelle — September 4, 2008 @ 11:24 pm

I’m with the sedation theory too. In that discovery a few of Casey’s friends commented on how Caylee slept through anything, even pretty loud parties when she was sleeping on the couch right in the middle of everything. I have a 2 year old and she’s fallen asleep on the couch before… But not in the middle of a party. Plus the one girl was saying how once or twice Caylee woke up and was totally disoriented and didn’t act like a normal toddler. I just dont understand the whole thing. My daughter is about 6 months younger than Caylee and I just can’t understand doing anything to hurt her. Cindy Anthony is an ass… She was a NURSE!! She knows exactly what a dead body smells like, she knows too much to mix up composition with rotten pizza. And the father was a deputy. He didn’t know how to report his missing daughter and grand daughter? Come on this is a freaking joke. The more and more I see Cindy Anthony the more I understand how Casey turned out to be such a piece of work.

Comment by Liz — September 4, 2008 @ 11:27 pm

Cindy clearly doesn’t want anyone to treat this like a murder case.

Neither would an alleged murderer.

IF Caylee IS dead, HAS been murdered… one person who does NOT want her body to be found, is her alleged killer. Another, apparently, is Cindy. One person who does NOT want the police gathering evidence about a possible murder, is the alleged killer. Another, apparently, is Cindy.

if she HAS been murdered… the killer would know her whereabouts & probably refuse to tell. Cindy claims she knows who has Caylee, but refuses to tell.

It doesn’t help ANYONE but the killer or the ‘kidnapper’ to keep evidence away from the police. It certainly doesn’t help Caylee to keep the names of whoever supposedly kidnapped her, away from the police. It doesn’t help Casey.. because if she IS innocent, the quickest way to prove that, is find Caylee, and put the police onto the guilty party.

So– is Cindy protecting Casey, or is it the other way around?

Comment by Harvey — September 4, 2008 @ 11:28 pm

If I have to see Cindy Anthonys ugly thin lipped mouth spewing lies one more time I swear I could just jump through the T.V. and choke her.
“Oh Casey had the shovel because of the bamboo we have growing in the yard, and it would hurt Caylees feet”. Notice how she went on and on and on about how the key to the shed is hidden and no one, absolutely no one had the key buy her and her husband. Why would you hide the key to the shed? What is so valuable in that shed? She knew then that Casey had killed Caylee. No one talks about bamboo for 15 minutes staight and expects others to listen as if she were talking about a wonderful lifetime experience. I’d like to take that shovel and bamboo and shove it up her thin lipped ass, then maybe we would get a good response from her.

#15 Connie,

You make some very interesting points. Well said!

Comment by MS — September 4, 2008 @ 11:42 pm

What really blew me away about Casey was when she did her first perp walk handcuffed into the station, she had this wide-eyed innocent, come-hither-”aren’t I a hot piece of ass” look. She was actually swinging her hips, just like she did when coming handcuffed out of her parent’s house this past weekend. She gave everyone the stinkeye and walked like the whore that she is-rolling her hips. It was astounding! I actually think she wants to be perceived as “hot” amid all of this!!!!

Comment by Lauren — September 4, 2008 @ 11:54 pm

I have a personal request as a person responsible for this site, please refrain from personal attacks that aren’t relevant to common information about those involved.

Using profanity and crude language will likely be deleted, something I rarely do, but absolutely will without warning.

There’s enough evidence in this case that is damaging and decisive — we need not lower ourselves.

The depravity is staggering on every single level, we should set the standard for civility.

Thank you.

Comment by Michelle — September 5, 2008 @ 12:04 am

I have to side with Caylees family. Any fool should be able to determine that the most likely scenario is that Casey’s nanny indeed has kidnapped the family and casey’s family, especially Cindy are amongst the most normal, caring family that socity can offer and mere victims of unearned hatred. They are a family that exemplifies class, character and concern! APRIL FOOLS!

Lets get real- The proverbial apple didnt fall far from the tree. They should all be indicted for their stupidity. People like that should not earn the priviledge of roaming free. Caylee did not stand a chance to turn out normal

Comment by jill — September 5, 2008 @ 12:14 am

Cindy’s attack on Tim Miller was absolutely uncalled for!! SHAME ON YOU CINDY! You have crossed the line on so many levels it’s pathetic!

Would anyone who has been following this sad story be surprised to learn a book/movie deal is in the works?

Unite and Boycott!

Where’s George been lately?? Did he finally accept the truth about his daughter and hole up?? What did they learn this past wednesday that is apparently going to be key in this case, according to paddila???

Comment by Michelle — September 5, 2008 @ 12:24 am

If Caylees death was accidental or intentional either way and the police do not have enough evidence to get an assured conviction then the Ortiz family (Caylees birth father’s family) needs to step in and go after the Anthony’s on wrongful death charges and take away the money that they may gain out of the death of this beautiful child through book deals or whatever they have brewing to profit from this sad affair!

There seems to be overwhelming evidence of involvement by the grandparents and the mother but, maybe not enough to prove in criminal court beyond reasonable doubt and without a body.

It is so sad how some people breed without any parental abilities. The Anthony’s all appear to be soulless monsters incapable of loving the beautiful gift they had in little Caylee, may she rest in peace.

Comment by sandy — September 5, 2008 @ 12:25 am

Here is an interesting question to Cindy. Yesterday you said that you thought Caylee was in Dallas. Why were you not on a fricken plane to Texas last night meeting with the people who called you?

If my grandaughter was missing and I truly felt she was 2 hours on a plane away I would have. I am sure all the posters would have too.

I think that Cindy washed the clothes and doused the trunk with chloroform and that is why she has an attorney now!

Comment by MS — September 5, 2008 @ 1:11 am

MS…..I’m with you on that! IF Cindy TRUELY had a legitimate “tip” that little Caylee was in Texas or Puerto Rico and Mexico, for that matter, I wouldn’t be arguing with the police or running around town in limos doing talk shows I would be on the next flight out to each of those locations searching it out for myself!

Cindy has NO interest in finding Caylee (she KNOWS she has passed away…she HAS to) because in doing so, it seals her daughter’s fate (and more than likely, her own)

Comment by Michelle — September 5, 2008 @ 1:24 am

At the beginning of this case I felt that Cindy and George were in some sort of shock…disbelief…that they found themselves in the middle of something so surreal and unbelievable that it was impossible for them to “see the forest for the trees” but as time has gone on I’m convinced they KNOW more than they are letting on. George was in law enforcement and would know what to/not to say and what to/not do if nothing more than to ensure a “hung” jury.

They are more concerned with defending their daughter’s “honor” than finding this little girl and giving HER the respect of a proper burial………………………how can they sleep at night?

Comment by Michelle — September 5, 2008 @ 1:42 am

Michelle,

Isnt it funny how Cindy has changed since making the 911 call and grilling her on her first day in prison? She is hiding something. She may have scrubbed the trunk with chloroform and has admitted to washing evidence.

She may already know that Caylee is dead.

Comment by MS — September 5, 2008 @ 1:47 am

MS…

you are absolutely right in that! the 911 calls are very damning:
Cindy calls to have Casey ARRESTED for stealing money and the car then almost as an AFTER THOUGHT throws in that -oh, and by the way, my granddaughter is missing-

these two are not in touch with reality at all…i am so convinced that Cindy is just as guilty maybe not for Caylee’s death, but in covering it up and that’s just as bad

Leonard Padilla said on Nancy Grace that the world will be shocked in the upcoming weeks and that it has something to do with the dumpster……..also, in reference to something that Cindy, Casey and brother, Lee, found out on wednesday (i’m biting at the bit to learn what THAT’S all about!!)

Comment by Michelle — September 5, 2008 @ 2:00 am

I thought for certain cindy and george would have stopped being so insistent that casey was innocent once the trunk tested pos for decomposition, after all, that’s about as IN YOUR FACE as it gets but i sat in disbelief with my mouth hanging open when i heard georges rant about “the body that was in my daughter’s trunk wasn’t my granddaughter’s!!” -as if it would be OK that there was a DECOMPOSING body in there at all- and cindy disputing the “legitimacy” of the FBI’s lab findings was yet another nutty move…even the atty, baez, is looney. what respectable atty is going to dispute DNA, FBI, local police investigations and still expect to maintain his own credibility??

and, doesn’t he have even a SLIGHT doubt in casey’s story? or does he truly believe her pack of lies??

they are all so very misled……

I wish there was something I could say that hasn’t already been said quite eloquently in the above postings. There is no need though. I’ll just quote my Father (now passed on). He always told me when I was young…
“There are people on this Earth that are here simply as good examples of how not to be, emulate the others”.
I hope he is smiling up there knowing that he had a BIG roll in nurturing my Soul with his love and wisdom.

Comment by Paula (PJ) — September 5, 2008 @ 3:09 am

There is nothing I can add to all of the above comments. I agree with most of you, the whole family is nuts! I have never in my life ever seen a family like this! I think little Caylee would have had mental problems too growing up in that. I think Casey killed her because she was at the stage where she could tell the grandparents what she was doing day to day & Casey did’nt like that one bit. It was OK when she was a baby! I bet ole George will divorce the wacko Cindy when this all ends? Yes, I expected a book/movie to be brought up in the very beginning of this nightmare. I hope this all ends soon for my heart can’t take much more. As soon as the cops have enough evidence, Casey will be arrested.Yes, a happy day that will be…hopefully Cindy goes down with her!! Is everyone watching NancyG for information? Those defense lawyers drive me nuts!!!!! Please, let this be over soon!!!

Comment by mary from michigan — September 5, 2008 @ 5:42 am

I think that this case has become a 3 ring circus! Casey has nothing to gain by “coming clean” so I don’t think that she’ll ever tell anything! In my opinion, the only way that she’ll ever lead police to the real facts is if she’s charged with first degree murder and facing a death penalty. Then, and only then, will Casey try to save her own butt and Cindy will try to save her, too. Unfortunately, police don’t have enough to charge her, so now she’s out of jail again. In the end, Casey will walk with only minor charges against, George and Cindy will probably divorce and blame it on the pressures, and thus there will be another “unsolved mystery” with no vindication for little Caylee. Maybe Cindy will write a book or have a made-for-tv movie titled “If she (we) did it!”

Comment by Sera — September 5, 2008 @ 6:32 am

Well looks to me Cindy should be charged with at least obstruction. she is covering up and wasting resources of well-intentioned people time and money maliciously !

She KNOWS all and Casey is a PRODUCT direct result of Cindy !

Hello !

Comment by MGEBALI — September 5, 2008 @ 7:06 am

This week Padilla stated on NG that it was Lee who was calling him on a DAILY basis trying to get him to reinstate the bond for Casey. I don’t think that we should discredit Lee’s roll in all of this. I believe that he is just as much a part of this circus as Casey, Cindy or George. Lee just flies below the radar by staying out of the media, when in truth; he has been feverishly working at getting Casey out of jail and obtaining attorney’s for his family. He was also the first person scheduled to see Casey in jail before her bond was reinstated. To me it is starting to appear that Lee may be the real mastermind behind this circus.

I don’t trust anyone in that family.

Comment by Kimi — September 5, 2008 @ 7:44 am

I’m with you, kimi…none of these people are to be trusted! Casey would sell her own mother on the street corner for a tank of gas…..Cindy would would bury a dead body in the middle of the night in order to “protect” her families’ “honor” (if presented with one, and who knows??, maybe she has)…George has already shown he knows no value for truth or promise in having his TWO year affair with his mistress (read the 400 page doc…VERY interesting…then again, who could blame the guy??? he KNOWS he married a psychopath)…and Lee??? well, all i can say for him is at LEAST his girlfriend seems to have half a brain i KNOW she thinks this is all a crock! just listen to her phone conversation with “liar liar pants on fire”….

this is one TRULY screwed up family…people like this should never reproduce

It’s just so sad!

and why casey’s being released AGAIN still baffles me….she BELONGS behind bars they ALL do…i wonder if they could get mother/daughter suites…ha

Comment by Michelle — September 5, 2008 @ 10:47 am

If you are all really sick of Cindy Anthony - its not over yet - it was reported on Criminal Report Daily part of ID Discovery on line that the Anthony’s were offered 1 million dollars for an exclusive interview
Now, I dont know if this is true because the networks have a policy of NOT paying for interviews- however
they can get around that by paying “expenses” etc.
Also someone else has offered the Anthony’s at least
one million dollars for their story - Isnt it wonderful to know you can RETIRE on your granddaughters death?

Comment by Elaine — September 5, 2008 @ 11:18 am

This is from Investigation Discovery:

As an FYI, a source close to the investigation has told me that ABC News 20/20 has offered the Anthony family one million dollars for an exclusive interview. The same source claims that AIM Productions from Nashville has also offered the family one million for book and movie rights.

The message here is kill a baby, hide the truth and become a millionaire. Boycott ABC!!!

Comment by skylonda — September 5, 2008 @ 12:36 pm

In a buried recent article (two days ago), Mr. Padilla (sp?)’s son indicated that the police have evidence relating to the dna of the baby girl which they will release soon. His indication was that the dna of the hair strands match the mother’s dna exactly. A child would have different dna as offspring. But it must have been the child’s because of the “death ring” found on the hair and Casey is still alive. SO….the only way her child could have the same genetic makeup is if…..drum roll please….her brother Lee is the father. I wish I still had the link to this article. Such a mess.

Comment by rebecca — September 5, 2008 @ 1:02 pm

So, if the brother is biologically Caylees dad then it would make since that he was the first to visit Casey in jail etc. etc. ……… I wondered why he was taking such a leading role in all this. Have you noticed how extended family and friends never seem to be around these people? I guess they just are just a very self-reliant clan or else every decent person who tried to know them has gone running away as fast as they can!

Comment by SANDY — September 5, 2008 @ 1:24 pm

ah I found the article
http://www.540wfla.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=227698&article=4189759

On another note, I know it looks bad. It looks like little angel Caylee is dead. But I am honestly hoping to God that it isn’t true, and that Casey really is just a twit who gave her baby away. I really am rooting for her being found alive. Praying for it every day. The grandparents are whacked but I do feel sorry for them. Not only have they lost Caylee but they are about to lose Casey too. It has to be rough. I would say, in their defense, that perhaps they are acting crazy because this whole thing has made them so. This would be the icing on the cake to make anyone lose their marbles. And they are doing anything they can to save their daughter. All I am saying is that I can see it, and I feel terribly for everyone involved, especially the baby angel.

This doesn’t mean I don’t want to slap the crap out of casey. Au contraire….I do.

Comment by rebecca — September 5, 2008 @ 1:44 pm

Even if the Anthony’s get a lot of money (I think a million is stretching it a bit) Baez right now
is doing this pro-bono -which means he isnt charging so he will certainly want to be paid if they receive
any compensation from any kind of tv or book rights.
Also Casey will definitely have to go to trial on the child neglect charges, as well as the white collar charges - and its going to cost a ton of money so I believe most of the money will go for her defense.
The also put up their house as collateral I read today, and that means that the bonding company has put a lien on their house. So they are going to need money - I dont think George works anymore. Cindy is on leave whether paid or unpaid its not known but sooner or later she will have to go back to her job - which I understand is quite a good one. Unless they have received a substantial amount of money - but again they will have to start paying Baez. These
lawyers get two to three hundred dollars an hour.
Im sure Baez is neglecting his other clients for this case. What he should be preparing for is a homicide charge because that is going to be coming soon.
As to Lee being the father of Casey’s baby, I dont believe that - Padilla wants to stay in the media,
he was outmanuvered by whomever put up the new bond
and that has taken some of the spotlight off of him.
I dont think he likes that very much.
Caylee actually looked like one of Casey’s boyfriends
acquaintances that I saw on the net - but I cant remember where.

Comment by joyce wilson — September 5, 2008 @ 2:30 pm

Child Welfare is doing their own investigation now into child abuse and neglect charges against Casey so maybe there will be more charges coming in the near future.

I hope that a lot of people come out to help search for the child’s body this weekend but, it looks like the weather may hamper things. I just don’t get why Lee and George aren’t out searching in the woods? What would it hurt for them to get out there and support the volunteer searchers and get their own feet a little dirty? Cindy I’m sure needs to be at home to keep an eye on the newly released Casey who is under house arrest.

Does anyone know if Tony the boyfriend has been questioned further or is being looked at as an accomplice?

Comment by SANDY — September 5, 2008 @ 2:33 pm

i heard casey and lee are not biological brother and sister that lee is from georges first marriage.Now if george was the father of caylee that would be the reason caylee and casey hair dna samples are almost identical i think that is what Padilla was hinting at when he said that when all the dna evidence came back it would shock the world over something Lee, cindy and casey knew after the prelimary dna hair samples came back, funny in that statement he didn”t mention george at all, wonder why?

Comment by kathy — September 5, 2008 @ 3:09 pm

There is no proof that Tony Lazarro knew anything about Caylee being missing In fact he left on a trip after sometime in the middle of June - and that is when Casey went to stay with Ricardo Morales - and used Amy Huizenga’s car and stole money and checks from her. There was talk by Padilla of a dumpster
near Tony’s apartment being looked into - but nothing has come of that. Also Casey and Lee Anthony are both the children of Cindy and George Anthony - as far as I have read Cindy and George were never married before to anyone else.

Comment by Elaine — September 5, 2008 @ 3:20 pm

I am not here to take a side. I am as intrigued as the next person with this case, however, opinion is not evidence and some of the evidence being pushed about can have very plausible explanations. So, what I am here to say is that chloroform is found in chlorine. The Anthony’s have a pool in their backyard. This discovery is hardly compelling and can be reasonably explained. This may anger many but if law enforcement would keep their evidence to themselves and QUIETLY build their case it may stand a chance in court.

Cindy is UNbelievable! And that may be the truth. It may be that she’s not in huge denial but in huge protect-the-one-I-have-left mode. She said at one point that she’d take a polygraph. Why don’t they take her up on it?! And why don’t they charge her with obstructing an investigation (getting on TV and telling people not to look for a dead Caylee) George actually assaulted a guy who was by his home. Not a big deal, but they are so consistently obstructive I think they could be charged with something! I don’t think they are operating as grieving or resisting the awareness of what really happened but as a shield for Casey.

Cindy Anthony is an absolute disgrace as a mother! No need to go into what her daughter is, she has done a great job letting us see what white trash she is. As a taxpayer, I find it offensive that she continues to challenge the time (and resources) being spent on finding her granddaughter. Both she and her own daughter need to be contributing to any search/rescue initiative and all they have done is continue to throw curves balls back at the folks that are trying to help them. Get out of denial lady and quit wasting everyone’s time and energy. And, while you are at it, get a haircut, the Dorothy Hamill cut has been out of style for decades.

Comment by Tonya — September 5, 2008 @ 9:16 pm

If I were in Orlando I would be there looking for Caylee also but all I can do here in Kansas is to pray for the searchers out there who are looking for her.

I am so sick and tired of the Anthony family, especially Cindy and Casey blaming everybody else for Caylee’s disappearance. If Casey would open her mouth and state the truth about what happened to Caylee and where her little body is Caylee would be able to be put to rest properly. But Casey can open her mouth with filth and obscenities, and degrading everyone who is out in the community helping to locate Caylee.

Just mark my word, if and when they find Caylee’s body she will blame it on that Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez for killing her because of all the publicity to the case, to try to get everything off of her for Caylee’s death. Casey and Cindy will blame everybody else for Caylee’s death but not the real person who caused her death!!!!!

I pray for the all searchers that they find Caylee’s body very soon!!!!

Comment by Linda P, Ks — September 5, 2008 @ 10:50 pm

I feel so much empathy for Cindy & George! I’m sure they don’t want to believe their daughter could or would do anything so horrible and unthinkable by their own daughter!!

Protecting caylee from harm but keeping her mouth shut are you for f*king real lady..,.oh so let me see…caylee is with some stranger and is being treated very well by someone capable of stealing a child right…so let’s just not talk so they won’t hurt her…your so gulable cindy anthony..oh I think she is in texas or mexico…your so stupid…all the evidence with the death band on the hair..the huge amounts of vaporised chloroform..the fact your daughter partied the whole first month the baby was gone and lied the whole time. You raised casey….the second time she told you that you couldn’t talk to her you should of got off your ass and found casey then. You know your daughter lies…and you gave her a whole month what’s wrong with you…A MONTH FOR GOD SAKES…as casey parties and screws every jack that she could find….partying knowing another day of evidence gone…that’s what she was doing….hoping that her baby would rot bad enough over time before any knew she was missing that they would never know she died of an overdose of chloroform…it’s very clear to me she did this…cindy should of kept a much closer eye on the daughter she knew was a sociopath…what were you doing for a whole month cindy

Comment by Shelly — September 6, 2008 @ 8:33 am

LINDA P - Casey and Cindy can only blame the babysitter for so long….that is so old now and nobody believes that long winded bullshitt lie. The judge ( when they do charge her with murder) will not give a shit what kind of story she concocts about who else killed her….the facts point to one person…she googled chloroform ….she didn’t report the baby missing, she borowed the shovel…she stole gas cans to burn her poor child…she lies continually….A GUILTY PERSON LIES…not an innocent one. Any jury can see through all the bullshitt…i agree with another poster in that Casey should be put in the same trunk she put her baby in to rot…and she can rot in there till she talks….other countries torture people to talk….why not…if I could have 5 minutes alone with this baby killer….she would wish she was in jail

The 20/20 show did nothing to help the Anthony’s. The show made Casey look like a complete nutcase and it made George and Cindy look like they were suffering from delusional denial.

Breaking news!

The Orlando PD surprised the Anthony’s by paying them a surprise visit at 2:25 am this morning to search GEORGE ANTHONY”S vehicle!!!! They removed evidence which was placed in a brown paper bag . Here is the link:

ABC news denies that they paid the Anthonys money for an “interview” - as neither Cindy, George or Lee were interviewed that is true. However, there were many family photographs and also videos - and those could only have come from the Anthony’s so I think what they were paid for was the use of those. And I bet it was about $25,000.00 to $50,000.00 just enough for the Anthony’s to use that money to bail out Casey.
Nancy Grace had the bail documents - they show the Anthonys probably have used their house as collatoral
for the 90 percent of the bond and the 10 percent,
$50,000.00 probably came at least in part from the use of their home videos on 20/20. However, the show was certainly not in Casey’s favor and clearly made her look guilty, but it “softened” the family’s involvement especially Cindys. I just saw this morning that they took evidence out of George Anthonys car - that is so odd! That car has been driven half way around the state of Florida - what in the world could be in his trunk!

I HAVE STATED ON OTHER BLOGS AND I WILL SAY ON THIS ONE………THEY NEED TO PUT CASEY IN JAIL WITH THE INMATE POPULATION AND SEE HOW FAST THEY GET HER TO TALK.CASEY MIGHT AS WELL TALK, BECAUSE IN JAIL OR OUT OF JAIL, HER LIFE WILL NEVER BE NORMAL.THIS CASE HAS SADDEN ME DEEPLY. I LIVE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF FROM ORLANDO AND IF I HAD THE MEANS, I WOULD BE THERE HELPING TIM, NOT FOR THE ANTHONY’S, BUT SO CAYLEE WOULD BE FOUND, AND TO END THIS TURMOIL.

Comment by Donna — September 6, 2008 @ 11:48 am

Apparently the item taken from George Anthony’s car
was a “wedge” which I think is something you use
when you want to check the tires are your car possible to put in back of a tire so it doesnt move??
The story George Anthony told the police was that on
June 24th - Casey came to the house (without Caylee)
and told her parents she wanted to get some clothes
and that Caylee was with the sitter. George asked for the keys to get the wedge out of the trunk of the car Casey was using (which actually was Cindy’s car)
Casey at first refused and said she would get the wedge but George insisted and when he opened the trunk he found the stolen gas cans. He was furious
by all accounts - but he did take the wedge and
the gas cans from the trunk. I think the police
confiscated the gas cans - but they never took the
wedge from George Anthony’s trunk (not very good police work on their part, I have to say) and that
is what they went to pick up this morning. They apparently are again working on the timeline and looking for more forensic evidence possibly that might have been on this wedge. I wonder, is that a piece of wood? Doesn anyone have a description of a wedge?

Comment by Elaine — September 6, 2008 @ 12:26 pm

I think if the anthonys get this 2 million dollars from book/movie deal and the 20/20 interview the city of orlando and the sheriffs department should sue them for the money that their skanky trailer park trash daughter has caused the department to shell out for her bogus “help” in finding her daughter

Comment by Jennyb — September 6, 2008 @ 1:13 pm

Nancy Grace (Love her BTW) really blew it yesterday with her “DR. Evil” (ssh, zip, uppp…) comments to the attorneys regarding chloroform.

What the two were trying to tell her was that the chloroform was used for “cleaning”….. decomposition. Ie after the fact! Nancy kept saying go to the grocery store for 409!

My thoughts are that the smelly trunk was scrubbed after the kill with chloroform. Did cindy get the chloroform from her hospital? I hope the police checked.

Finally, OMG it was too far fetched to believe that Casey & Lee were the parents until #77 above made the reference of the missing girls name…

Cay-Lee! Coincidence?

Comment by MS — September 6, 2008 @ 1:15 pm

There is no way that someone would go to the trouble to buy chloroform to clean any surface. First of all the fumes would knock them out! Its gettable on the internet (just about everything is) but I think that you have to really look into Casey’s psychological
character as to why she would go to the trouble to buy
chloroform - a product that has been outlawed since
the 1970’s, at least not allowed to be sold in stores.
There are many references to movies in Casey’s crazy lies. First she said that the person
that introduced her to Zenaida the baby sitter
was someone named Juliette Lewis - well Juliette Lewis
is an actress and also has some crazy Goth band
she plays in. Her most famous movie? Natural Born
Killers. Second the name she called the babysitter
Zanny the Nanny - that is a fictional character in a children’s book called Double Trouble Squared about a nanny that takes care of twins - I wonder if they looked for that book among Caylee’s playthings.
Next there are so many countless movies where a person places a rag over someone’s mouth and they immediately fall down in a faint. This has been used innumerable times in films and TV. This leaves me to believe that Casey for whatever reason had some plan
in mind and part of that plan was that she needed to
sedate Caylee and didnt know how to do it and she
hit upon the chloroform. My personal opinion was that
she just wanted the little girl to sleep so she could party and probably misjudged the powerful effects of the chloroform and it killed her. But the big mystery is where this all happened. I dont believe it happened at the Anthony home - Casey was seen leaving by George on Monday June 16th - at about 12:30pm.
She said she was going to work, however in some accounts it was reported that she was going on a “mini-vacation” and taking Caylee with her. For whatever reason, that was the last time Cindy and George saw Caylee. They saw
Casey again on June 24th, when she came by the house
to get some clothes and George discovered the gas cans in the trunk. But remember there was no trunk odor or at least he never reported an odor at that time. After that, many people are under the impression that Cindy was not in contact with Casey - but in fact Cindy WAS speaking to Casey over that period of a month before she called the police - by telephone. Asking to speak to Caylee, Casey always had an excuse not to bring Caylee to the phone. After the car was impounded and the Anthony’s picked it, and it had that terrible odor - Cindy started calling Casey’s friends and located her. Then she called the police because Casey couldnt produce Caylee.
So the police I think have a pretty good idea
of certain timeline events, however, they cannot
place Casey in that car with Caylee at a certain time
nor have they discovered where this all took place.
I think that the police do NOT believe that it was
at the Anthony home. Many people think Casey had an accomplice, possible a boyfriend (she had many it seems) who helped her get rid of the body. She had to have been somewhere inside to have drugged Caylee
if that is in fact what she did. How could she have
gotten her outside to put her in the trunk? Its possible I guess that she could have placed her in the backseat of the car and drugged her - I just cannot understand how she could not have breathed those fumes herself. But if she discovered she gave her too much and had killed her - I supposed she could have gotten into the back seat wrapped Caylee
in some heavy bags or a duffle bag placed her in the trunk and then threw her body in a dumpster. But if she did this in someones apartment -whose was it
and did they help her get rid of Caylee’s body?

Comment by Elaine — September 6, 2008 @ 2:00 pm

It was reported this afternoon that the evidence taken from George’s car was in fact a handgun.
Having knowledge of a handgun is grounds for bail to be revoked, but a judge has ruled that Casey Anthony
probably did not know that her father kept a handgun in the trunk of his car - inside the wheel-well.
There is no connection between this hand-gun and
the case of Caylee Anthony.

Comment by Elaine — September 6, 2008 @ 3:45 pm

The question of incest should not be raised because DNA could not be used to determine if the hair sample was from Caylee or Casey.

“Mitochondrial DNA is Only Inherited from the Mother
What sets mtDNA apart is that, unlike nuclear DNA which is equally inherited from both father and mother, mtDNA is inherited only from the mother, because all our mitochondria are descended from those in our mother’s egg cells.

This means that Mitochondrial DNA is passed from a mother to her children, which also makes it useful for tracing individuals’ maternal lineage. So, that while both sons and daughters inherit mtDNA from their mothers, only daughters can pass their mtDNA to their children.”

I do find it very disturbing to hear that the Anthony’s allegedly refused to provide the searchers with something with a scent from Caylee.

The Mitochondrial DNA in from the hair of Caylee or Casey would be the same no matter who the father was.

Sandy…….ok, so chloroform is used in chlorine as you say, and for THE pool they have??? Why would it be necessary to do searches on “chloroform” on Casey’s computer?? You have to look at the whole picture on this case, not just individual facts. A jury will convict on facts of the case…….NOT just one part of a fact.

ONE of them will eventually crack (or slip up)….especially Cindy since she seems to be the one who can’t keep her mouth shut!

Comment by Caylee has stolen America's heart — September 6, 2008 @ 5:36 pm

#32….you have such a point!!! and Casey wouldn’t get off her lazy *&$ to dig up bamboo for Pete’s sake. The girl couldn’t hold down a job for the past two years……took her young daughter to “adult” parties and partied with her there!!….I seriously doubt (as Cindy stated), that Casey borrowed the shovel to dig up bamboo so Caylee wouldn’t “get hurt.”……..she is sooooooo way beyond nuts!

Well if the Anthony’s really did make money off of the 20/20 interview (or any interview for that matter), I would volunteer to go to Texas, Puerta rico or Mexico if they would fund my expenses?????? Naw………..they’d never go for it because I’d be searching for Caylee either dead or alive……..they only want to believe she’s alive, and unless you believe that too….they want you out of the picture. Most of us hope that, but it’s becoming more grim by the day! I’m sooooo glad Tim with Equuasearch stayed on!!!!

#48: (how do they sleep at night????) maybe a little chloroform?????

Comment by Caylee has stolen America's heart — September 6, 2008 @ 5:57 pm

I just read that the article taken from Grandpa George’s car at 2:45am was a gun. It is aganist the rules for Casey being bonded for there to be any firearms in the house or on the grounds and someone told on Grandpa! There may have been other things confiscated but one of them was definitely a gun. I’m glad they disturbed his sleep by doing it at 2:45am, and I hope Casey was afraid that the jig was up and they finally had come to get her! I doubt it though, I don’t think she, or her family, are capable of feeling fear or anything else in their fantasy world. I just hope some progress is made in the search soon, there is suppose to be a hurricane that may affect that area by the middle of the week. My thoughts and prayers are with the many people trying to find Caylee’s body, her soul is already in a better place!

Comment by Connie — September 6, 2008 @ 6:45 pm

On Nancy Grace’s show Friday night she had on Leonard
Padilla who said that Casey Anthony has told her brother Lee what happened to Caylee and that Lee has told Cindy. He also said that Cindy has gone on the defensive now to obscure this case further with her continued insistence that Caylee is alive. What I find odd is that Nancy Grace didnt jump on that statement she just moved on to something else. But seeing that Padilla is willing to state these facts you would think that it would get more attention.
Its very strange if true, as all of the family would be called to testify in any case against Caylee.

Comment by Elaine — September 6, 2008 @ 9:35 pm

sorry typo I mean called to testify against Casey
in above post!

Comment by Elaine — September 6, 2008 @ 9:36 pm

Are the police gonna lose to this family of losers?

God I hope not. But the reality is like OJ only guilty or innocent the only hopeful closure we will ever get from this family of “F” Ups will be jail time. Please Equisearch find Caylee!

Comment by MS — September 6, 2008 @ 10:54 pm

I just went back and watched the videos of the family testifying at Casey’s original bond hearing. I didn’t think this idea of Lee being Caylee’s daddy had any merit. But, on the video he states that “they connect on a special level and are always there for each other.” He also says that they have the relationship where they could tell each other anything and know that there was unconditional love and support even if the rest of the family didn’t agree. He even tried to get Cindy not to make the original 911 calls because he thought he could get her to tell the truth! Wonder what he’s thinking now?
Also when Cindy testified, thru tears, she couldn’t say enough about what a good a mother Casey is and that she was parenting by example. She even said Casey was her best friend! OMG what is wrong with
this woman? Granted, this was before all the lab test came back, but where is that sense that a mother has about her child. No one knows you better than your mother and one good look in Casey’s eyes should have told Cindy that she was lying again. I read on one of the other sites that Cindy had talked to a therapist about Casey’s behavior and was told to kick her out of the house and file for custody of Caylee. This is what was suppose to have started the big fight before Casey left in June. So she was aware of what a moron she had raised, then to get in court and try to convince the judge that she should have Mother of the year award. I love my grown kids, but I could not defend them if they had done something like this. Feel badly for them, yes….feel quilty that I hadn’nt done something to get them help sooner,yes…pray for them that they can someday have peace, definitely….but I could not turn a blind eye and defend them! Sometimes serious consequences trump unconditional love when forming the human psyche!!

Comment by Connie — September 6, 2008 @ 11:10 pm

Excellent post - thank you to the writer for pointing out the that ever ungrateful Cindy, in addition to all her lies and pyscho behaviour, finally did the unthinkable and that is to attack Tim Miller - an exemplary man who, despite her attack, remained gracious. In addition to all theories noted above, I do agree that the family is lying and “in on it” in one way or another. Cindy makes a fool of herself daily and oh man, does she love the spotlight - and she has the nerve to accuse others of exploitation ? BUT what infuriates me the most is her ungrateful attitude towards ALL that have helped in the search and in particular, the thousands and thousands of man hours, money, resources, all of which could be better spent helping deserving families who also have missing kids every single day…thousands of them…and money, time, and efforts are being spent to help this poor child and the family does not give a hoot about the waste of resources that should go to other deserving families of missing kids - if they would only give up the hoax. How can they sleep at night. Cindy “demands” everyone to look for HER granddaughter yet knows the deal and in the process, denies other families those very same resources while they live in agony of thier own missing kids and grandkids and don’t get the opportunity to use top of line resources like Equasearch and the like. Cindy - I will write directly to you now (as you are probably reading this instead of searching for your granddaughter’s body or better yet - telling the cops where it is) and I know you don’t care - but SHAME ON YOU ! Thankfully, the truth will come out and you and your pathetic family will look even worse (is that possible?) for wasting all that time, money and resources when other kids need to be found. (You know - the karma thing)…And lastly, yes, Casey is a direct product of her crazy SELFISH lunitic mother - so what can you expect? Like mother, like daughter….and Cindy - how stupid do you think the public is ? You are a nurse - I am quite certain you well know the difference between a the smell of a dead body and a rotting pizza !!!!!

Comment by Kim — September 7, 2008 @ 12:45 am

Cindy,

Step up be an example and show your daughter how to hold herself accountable to her choices. Stop letting her hide behind Baez and stop covering up for her for once.

You “got it” early in the caper but flip floped fast! Once everybody started jumping on your daughters bullstein, you get protective?

Kinda like in the movie Animal House! Niedermeyer is hazing Flounder and immediately Boone says to Otter…

“They can’t do that to our pledges, only we can do that to our pledges.”

Your daughter is a shit and has always been a shit and you know it. She was screaming at you the day before she went awol and guess what? People will testify to her exact words!

Help the world out and step up like the Mom you are! Stop acting like Casey!

Comment by MS — September 7, 2008 @ 1:11 am

PS - to my above post. Very interesting theories about the paternity of that poor child and that fact that her name is comprised of Casey’s and Lee’s name….Hmmmmmmm. And while this is absolutely no laughing matter and I do hope that poor child is found soon and can rest in peace - I have to laugh at all the various posts I am read about Cindy’s hairdo including the one on this blog and the Dorothy Hamill reference. Every time I see her angry confrontational face on the TV, it makes me crazy but something about that hairdo puts me over the top…Anyway, keep up the good honourable efforts Tim to bring Caylee home…

Comment by Kim — September 7, 2008 @ 1:21 am

Simply put, Cindy is a classic “enabler” - her behavior and convering “allows” Casey to stay the same - very sick and a pathetic sociopath…probably has enabled her her entire life to be what exactly she is…

Comment by Donna — September 7, 2008 @ 1:27 am

The other night on NG when Cindy phoned in and said she now believed Caylee was in “Texas or Mexico”, I was wanting NG to ask her, if that was the case, why was she sitting at home instead of going there and actually looking ? After all, Natalie Holloway’s mother spent months and months in Aruba many times looking for her daughter…why can’t Cindy go there to look if that what she believes from her alleged tipster. Why, you ask, because its all BS, that’s why! NG producers, if you happen to read these blogs, perhaps NG might enjoy pointing this out the next time Cindy phones in to challenge something or other that is said against her…I would love for Nancy to ask her that one !

Comment by Ashley — September 7, 2008 @ 1:37 am

Darn right (above) Cindy Anthony is reading this blog!

I am disgusted with who these girls are and the way they look. More circumstances I guess but CINDY…

At this time you have a small but distinct window of opportunity to change coarse. Start thanking the supporters from vigils and searches sincerely starting now instead of acting like a stupid ass.

Shovel was 4 bamboo? I bet you & George are the only one’s who would ever pick up a shovel and do that 4 Caylee. I bet Casey has never done that.

Smell was a pizza?

Cadaver Dogs were inconclusive?

Air samples mean nothing?

Casey & Zenida were great friends? You never spoke to Zenida much less saw her.

DNA is inconclusive?

What was the gas 4?

She was working at Universal?

Maybe sombody put a dead body in the trunk from the auto pound?

On and on. Why are you speculating anyway? Casey hasn’t answered these questions? Why are you all of a sudden lying 4 her?

Step up and be America’s MOM instead of a criminal enabler. America will be the first to support you. Or go down with your killer daughter in flames. BTW she ain’t worth it and you know it!

Comment by MS — September 7, 2008 @ 1:37 am

I would like for Nancy Grace to put out a list of questions for Cindy to answer because you know she will follow up on the show in a flash. Let’s all put our novice detective hats on and list some questions that you would like for her to answer if she has nothing to hide. Oh and you already said that your Daughter does not need immunity cause she ain’t guilty. I will start, here goes.

Why are you not in Dallas if you think Caylee is there? Why don’t you release the person’s name and phone on the Caylee website for others nearby to call and help?

Where was your daughter working for the last year?

What comments do you have on your exchange with Casey on MY SPACE the day she went MIA? Ironic wouldn’t you say?

What is the chloroform for? Who used it and who was on the internet regarding? You or Cindy?

You have not been able to come close to questioning your daughter on the details you have admitted. Since not trusting her on jailhouse phone calls early in the caper why has your posture changed?

What are the compelling circumstances that we can’t hear?

Your daughter is only being charged with neglect. What is there to really hide then?

Comment by MS — September 7, 2008 @ 2:03 am

This *woman* is beyond delusional - so far beyond that she absolutely HAS TO BE LYING! No one can be this willing to believe the stories that her daughter spews unless they are either a close relative of Mark David Chapman or an ex member of the Manson Family!

I can understand wanting & hoping to believe that your grand-baby is alive, I can also understand not wanting to believe that the child you gave birth to is not capable of committing such an awful act, but the writing is clearly on the wall - it is well past time to wake up and smell the coffee!

And yet, she continues to twist the truth, fabricate stories out of whole cloth to dismiss anything that she said earlier that might implicate her daughter, hide, destroy evidence, not work with the police and the FBI or assist them in any way (even though her spouse is an ex-cop) and attack ANYONE who tries to help her unless they are willing to buy into her daugher’s funderblunked stories as she has.

It’s truly mind boggling and it’s no wonder that nearly everyone thinks she may be involved - she is acting just like her daughter!

May I also state that the nursing company that Cindy works for is laughable - I worked for them for three years and they are about as reliable and dirty/greedy/mis-managed as one can get.

Comment by MadCapp — September 7, 2008 @ 7:03 am

Casey and Cindy Anthony - notably the two most hated women in Amercia…can’t decide which one would actually take the crown? As per above, Cindy has already smelled the coffee - she just can’t stomach it. This whole spectacle, debacle, whatever you want to call it that CINDY ANTHONY CREATED in the face of this poor child’s demise is deplorable and disgusting !!! (ps - when the hammer comes down fully and it will - can’t wait to see which one flips first on the other to save their own sorry pathetic narcissistic asses)

Comment by Ashley — September 7, 2008 @ 2:17 pm

No. 113 - is this an nursing agency not a hospital that she workds at then ? In other words, the kind mostly works at seniors’ homes and the like, and as noted by others, she most definitely would have encountered the smell of a dead body, right ?

Comment by Amanda — September 7, 2008 @ 2:21 pm

I heard Cindy Anthony worked for a sports medicine doctor and it was quite a good job and that the doctor took care of the Orlando Magic team. I never
heard she worked for a nursing home. This case
has the elements of that old story of the Emperor
with no Clothes - if the Anthony’s continue to insist that something is true, and enough of the media and
talk show hosts, etc, give credence to this story, pretty soon the true facts are obscured. You get lost in the lies and forget what the facts are.
Lets be clear: - a 22 year old mother who was the last person seen with her child, does not report that child missing until her own mother does so by calling the police more than 30 days after the fact.
This same 22 year old mother was seen out partying on many nights after the child has not been seen by anyone and lies about every single fact she has given the police. Her car is abandoned and has forensic evidence of a decomposing body in the trunk.
Its tests positive for chloroform, and on her laptop
are websites she visited about chloroform. The grandparents of this 22 year old mother have threatened to throw their daughter out of the house and take custody of their granddaughter. The grandmother goes so far as to tell her daughters friends that she is a sociopath, thief and a liar.
Now, if you were told all those facts about someone
else other than Casey Anthony - what would your conclusion be? So if everyone sticks to the facts
of the case, the police should be able to sooner
or later bring a charge of at the least negligent
manslaughter against her.

Comment by Elaine — September 7, 2008 @ 2:53 pm

Hello to all of you. Please help me convince people to email, call or write to the State of Florida Licensure Division. This Cindy Anthony (Cynthia) is listed on that site as an “RN” (Registered Nurse). She is not an asset to any patient, she is a total liability. She has publicly displayed, she is incapable of having critical thinking skills, follow policy & procedures, and is truly a person that I would not want as my nurse or a nurse for my loved one’s. I realize she is on a leave of absence (LOA), but someday, she will return to ‘nursing’. If enough people send in complaints, the State of Florida will have to rethink her acting as an RN in their State. She is SO irrationale, SO angry, SO violent, will obviously lie about anything or anyone to cover her own (wrong meds? wrong injections? wrong paperwork? wrong decision making on her part?) in her speech and actions, would YOU want her to take care of YOU? How about YOUR child or spouse, parent? Not me, I intend to email them promptly with my thoughts and concerns.

Comment by Cindy — September 7, 2008 @ 9:31 pm

Hey Cindy, who first grew tired of Casey’s stories?

Who first said “Something’s wrong”?

Who first recognized the smell of human decomposition?

I guess Law enforcement and the rest of us are soooo wrong for considering the obvious that was at one time clearly apparent to you.

Forgive us for not being able to stretch as far as your enabling arms can. We’re mere humans incapable of understanding the depth of your family’s depravity.

Comment by Jack — September 7, 2008 @ 11:29 pm

FYI…
In her testimony for the bond hearing, Cindy stated that she was a case manager for a home health care company. Fortunately, she probably has little to do with actual patient care, but she would have influence over the type of care that the patients recieved. I am a retired RN and I feel that she is far enough up the chain that she can’t actually do personal harm to any of the company’s patients, thank God for small favors!!
It’s going to be interesting now that Equisearch has pulled out of the search and the new O.J. trial is starting. This will give most of the news channels a new focus and less attention on the Anthonys. Any guesses as to which one of the family will do something stupid to get the focus back on the them? I heard the George has already had a toe to toe with some of the protestors, what’s next, jello wrestling in the front yard?
No seriously, it is still a very sad situtation, one that I hope has some closure soon, hopefully with a few of the Anthonys doing some hard time!!

Comment by Connie — September 8, 2008 @ 11:01 am

[...] for even continuing to search for Caylee in light of an ungrateful Cindy Anthony’s blistering attack on him (which our own intrepid Dawn broke down for us). Instead of getting up off her duff [...]

just an observation…but they say that caylee went missing after june 16th…wasn’t cindy the last one to see her then since the previous day she had taken caylee to see her great-grandfather?
Is it possible that cindy may have had something to do with it?

Comment by judith — September 8, 2008 @ 1:23 pm

I wholeheartedly agree on every level with post #13. I think Casey should suffer unimaginable horrors. I cannot express the degree to which this case is infuriating. Next to the first and most excrutiatingly sad part of this story - that this precious, innocent baby was murdered by her own mother, is the disgusting, unfathomable truth, that Caylee’s mother - although she does not deserve to be labeled as such - will not suffer as a result of her actions. She is a sociopath by all definitions of the word, and she is incapable of feeling any remorse for the loss of this beautiful life, or “bella vida” as she so blatantly marked her body to commemorate her accomplishment. Although I am a God fearing mother of a toddler myself, I will say it again - Casey Anthony deserves to SUFFER. Problem is, you have to be human to feel human suffering, and Casey Anthony falls way short of being human. She is a MONSTER.

Comment by G — September 8, 2008 @ 2:08 pm

i cant under stand why the anthonys are takeing it out on the very people that try to help them, they dont want to fined caylee, they are killers all of them

Comment by amanda — September 9, 2008 @ 2:14 pm

Hm, something else doesn’t add up. In Greta’s home visit interview with the grandparents, George said that Casey and Caylee gave him a kiss on the way out the door the day after Father’s Day, as if everything were all right. I remember that Cindy stayed silent during this comment, which was unusual because she weighs in on every remark made. But now we’re finding out that the family had a huge blow-up and Casey was staging an exit from that home and an emergency move-in with her boyfriend and the other guy, the roommate.

Nate the roommate also changed his story a tiny bit if I recall correctly. He was interviewed by Greta a couple weeks ago and said that Casey would tell them that Caylee was with the nanny or with the grandparents. But in the Nancy Grace interview tonight he just said (two times, in fact) that Casey would tell them that Caylee was with the nanny — at the beach or somewhere — and did not mention the grandparents.

I think this entire story would be much more satisfying if it turned out that Casey had placed her daughter with someone and then fell silent just to drive her parents crazy. Grandmother Cindy is as creepy as that woman in the Stephen King movie, Misery.

It would be interesting to know if Casey has ever acted this way before in the family — pulling a big mind game on her parents or pushing back at her mother. Cindy is quite comfortable driving her daughter to the police station, or calling 911 and in a loud voice announcing she would like to press charges, or tracking down her daughter and going right up to her boyfriend’s door and demanding that Casey get her stuff and leave (remember, Casey is 22 and is shacking up with a man). Also, it could be that domineering Cindy put a stop to a relatively responsible solution that Casey was considering: giving Caylee up for adoption to one of her girlfriends who couldn’t have babies. And one of Casey’s girlfriends pointed out that Cindy was prejudiced against Hispanics. So, it would not be surprising that over the years Casey would have built up a number of ways to push Cindy’s buttons and really let her have it.

Or, maybe Casey is cold-hearted by nature. Nancy Grace found out from the roommate that Casey was playing video games on the couch with him when Cindy came to get her. He also said she had done grocery shopping and cooked and prepared pasta for everybody at one point and seemed to do work for her job on her laptop. Nancy Grace reminded us that all this time Casey was showing no concern about Caylee. But it would have been interesting to hear if she ever showed any concern over anything at all. Two people shacking up for a number of weeks are going to have fights and make-ups, and find some kind of common ground, even some things they’re both outraged over. I think these kinds of details would add to our understanding. And I was shocked that Nancy didn’t ask an obvious question: Did Casey leave any of her stuff behind? I guess she did take her laptop with her — a signal that she felt she might not return at least right away. But she did tell Cindy that she was not packing up and leaving the place.

The closest that Nancy came to exploring all this was her question, did the police search the place. And the answer was, yes, 2 times. Nancy paused for a long moment after this short answer, and cut to a commercial break.

I learned from a mother years ago that she herself used to put opium under her own baby’s fingernails because he would put his fingers in his mouth and this would conveniently put him to sleep. An old trick, she told me.

I think Casey used chloroform in the same way, not maliciously, but as a simple way to put Caylee to sleep when Casey would want to go partying. I imagine her turning the trunk of her car into a comfortable crib where Caylee could sleep soundly and would be out of sight to any passersby. And my guess is that Casey returned to the car — drunk, drove off to another party, and when she opened up her trunk at the end of the night, she discovered to her horror that Caylee had died from carbon monoxide poisoning. She then buried the body in the back yard of her parents’ home, then returned to move the body to another location. Her new tattoo, “Bela Vita,” was a memorial to Caylee, a tombstone she would carry around with her for life.

From all her friends’ comments, I don’t think she murdered her baby. But I think she will do 10-15 years for reckless endangerment.

As for Cindy, don’t worry about the Anthonys making a killing off the movie rights. The studios aren’t idiots. They lose interest very fast with people like this, and the movie can be written from everything that’s in the public domain. Movie producers are quite skilled at leading people down a path, and in this case will make a sport of stringing this family along up until the trial — at which point everything will come out in the wash for free.

Mrs Cindy,
My heart is 100% out to you! I pray that your DOC is helping you to be able to sleep some at night and some at differant times of the day. I keep praying that Caylee is in the USA but when Casey said “My Mother will NEVER for give me?” Did you ask her what that was about?

Comment by Dawn Ivie-Russell — September 13, 2008 @ 9:45 pm

I think Cindy is just as guilty as Casey. She is hiding something. Wasn’t Cindy’s husband seperated from her prior to this?

Comment by Betty — September 14, 2008 @ 9:00 pm

Cindy Anthony,

Get your head out of your butt and stand up to your daughter. You are both evil. You are both in need of mental help. God doesn’t like ugly liars!

Comment by Betty — September 14, 2008 @ 9:01 pm

Does anyone know when the trial for all the forgery and theft charges starts? Why can’t they go ahead and convict her of those charges, put her in with a few seasoned inmates and see if that starts her talking. Meanwhile, they can continue to serch and build an iron clad murder case aganist her. It would stop the drama at the Anthony house and take Casey out of the spotlight that she loves.

I believe that “accountability” was not a word in Cindy and George Anthony’s vocabulary. IF it was, they failed to make their daughter understand the principle!
This whole situation is so very sad, on so many levels! I always try to find a positive to focus on but in this fiasco, it eludes me!

Just another thought…suppose a miracle has happened and little Caylee is found alive. At some point she will have to face the fact that her mother didn’t want her,told the world that she gave her away and didn’t look for her for 31 days because she was too busy partying!

Comment by Connie — September 24, 2008 @ 11:54 pm

To Kathy, All: I’m in mostly total agreement with the comments posted here. This dear little Caylee should not have been born into this family. If Casey had put her up for adoption as we’ve heard she wanted to do, that may have been the wisest choice for this baby.

As to a grandparent knowing just where their grandchildren are, what they are doing at all times…well it just doesn’t work that way. Their parents are responsible to know what’s going on with their children, not the grandparents.

If one of my daughters asks my opinion on anything, I’ll give them my best advice. If I believe there is any dangerous situation, I will speak out. Aside from some instances, I try to butt out.

As to the Anthony case, that Cindy and George placed any faith in Casey’s “explanations” of where their granddaughter has been for a month makes no sense at all. They know Casey lies with ease, that she likes the party life. Why did they trust her for all those days?

Zani the Nanny. She never called their house? They didn’t know where she lived? They never saw or spoke to her in the 1-1/2 to 2 years Casey claimed she cared for Caylee? How could this be?

I don’t think they will ever find Caylee. i think totmom fed her to the alligators.

Comment by dominique simone — December 1, 2008 @ 9:37 pm

This Cindy Anthony is such a witch, if I were Casey I would be wishing for jail to get away from her. I am certainly not defending anyone here, both mother and daughter seem like they think they are entitled to whatever they want or need. As the old saying goes, the apple does not fall far from the tree. These people are not right, between Casey calling her little girl a “snothead” and never really mentioning Caylee by name and Cindy saying “my daughter is a victim”, what planet is she living on. The mother and father on Larry King and whatever else they can get their face on is distgusting to me. I would be doing everything to find my grand daughter and woulld maybe go on T.V. after things were resolved. To be fair, I guess there is a chance everyone is wrong about these people, but I doubt it. Cindy Anthony’s husband seems to be able to keep his trap shut, but i don’t believe Cindy will ever be able to give us the pleasure of keeping her yap shut. Cindy you are wrong, so now shut up and take your medicine. You have raised a MONSTER now deal with it. R. I. P. Caylee, these people never deserved you in the first place.

I’ve read and watch all I can , I agree with all, fact that Cindy, George, and Lee all might be connected to this after that fact, that Casey told them what really happened and where Caylee body was from the beginning. From that point I think it was away of leading Public and Law Inforcement away from Looking for That Baby dead body. I find it kinda weird that when Caylee body was found that they was out of town, Checking out a tip she was seen alive else where, think it possible they knew her body was going to located with in days they just happen to be gone. Looks better for them that way.. And also to comment on June 16 when George last seen Casey and Caylee she was going to her (work place) and didnt have a job ! and Caylee to baby sitters . My questions is from that date till July 15 why wasn’t both reported missing after never coming back home in 31 days. Didnt George and Cindy think it was weird they hadnt seen either in that lenth of time, I think they are all Nut Cases and a Very Disfunctional Family,It’s sad that such a beautiful little angel had to be born into a Family like that.

Ithink nobody should spend their money on anything that would benefit anyone in this crazy family. This family is the weirdest family I have ever seen. I strongly think no one in this family is in their right mind.

I agree that casey anthony appears to be a sociopath….. but she was created by the family dynamic…. no one in this family seems to be behaving or reacting even remotely “normally” … they all seem to be practiced liars… there does seem to be something else bubbling underneath this tragedy… dirty little secrets i guess…. i think it is important that all the contributing factors in this crime be uncovered so that society as a whole can learn something from this nightmare …. one thing that keeps me kurious is that to my eye ….. casey does not look like anyone else in the family?…..caylee looks a lot like her grandmother….lee also ….. even george can be seen in caylee and lee but i dont see it in casey??….anyone else notice this or is it just me?? …. i am not sure what this implies but it makes me curious …. is george the biological father of both lee and casey?? ….i have read in some posts that george is a step-father to casey?? …. if this is true what does it mean? …. could there be some underlying secret from cindy’s past that is impacting and/or contributed to this situation?? … it is very strange that no one knows who the father of caylee is….i just read on this post that someone named Ortiz is the biological father of caylee?? …. does somebody know about this?? …also that george had a mistress??…. lifetime of secrets and lies …. eventually the shit hits the fan…. it is hard to understand why cindy hasnt been charged with obstructing justice?? … also if casey was having sex or had sex with members of the police/sheriff ’s department and her dad is ex-police …how is it that the people of florida are not up in arms with her apparent special treatment by law enforcement….??

This case really stinks. I think Cindy and George should all be charged in the death of Caylee. They are hiding something. And the way Cindy talked about this young woman Zanny. She is a witch just look at her. The apple never falls far from the tree, just look at the parents and look at the daughter. I did feel some pity for them , but no more not after today. I hope they mall FRY.

My problem w cindy from day one i think she has felt guilt over fighting w casey and she feels as though its her fault casey si where she is.But let’s all be realistic here.My problem is where is the determentation to find your gradndaughters killer if you dont think seriously your daughter did it?she doesnt have the determination does she?have you once seen her on camera saying we need to look at all areas?no because she knows in heart of hearts her daughter did it.
cindy you and george need to grow up and act right thats whats wrong with cindy…we the public didnt cause you this harm we wanted answers for caylee she deserves that you should want it also!!

Let Cindy Anthony go on every talk show between California and New York. Remember what happened to Scott Peterson after he was interviewed by Diane Sawyer? The FBI and crime analysts watched, recorded and reviewed his interview and he NAILED HIS COFFIN SHUT THE SAME WAY CINDY WILL NAIL HERS AND CASEY’S SHUT. The truth will come out in this horrific tale of a two pathological liars responsible for this child’s murder.
