Start Blurting!
By Lis Wiehl
Former Prosecutor/FOX News Legal Analyst
“Casey’s lied to me in the past and when she’s lied she’s always told me the truth.” So said the grandmother of missing two year old, Caylee Anthony at the bond hearing for her daughter, Casey, on Tuesday.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement from one mom about another. And why indeed won’t Casey tell the truth? The grandmother seems to imply that Casey is holding back on information to somehow protect little Caylee.
I’m cynical. First this mother waits weeks before telling anyone her daughter is missing, and then she won’t as her mother says “blurt out the whole story.” I say, start blurting…let’s find out what has happened to Caylee.


This has become an absurdity. Casey is obvioulsy trying to cover her tracks. What seems to bo lost on her is the safety of her daughter. If she is indeed a caring mother her very fist concern would be the safe return of Caylee.
From the looks of mom and grandma on FOX News, they both look like they know what has happened
This girl has some serious issues! I just read on a local Florida news website that she wants a deal made that she not be prosecuted for her infromation, WHAT ABOUT HER DAUGHTER? She needs to open up and start telling the truth, if there is any “truth” left in her! If her mother is so close to her, as she says she is, then she needs to open her “eyes”!
I totally agree. Enough is enough already. The fact of the matter is that Casey’s mom is a class A enabler and obviously is not in touch with reality. Today I heard her tell a reporter to put a slice of pizza in their car and leave it there for 19 days and see what it smells like. This comment was in response to a question regarding the decomp smell detectives and cadavor dogs found in the trunk of the car Casey was using. Someone needs to take Granny Anythony to the county morgue so she can smell death up close and personally. Let me tell you, there’s no mistaking the stench of human remains. The smell is not the same as deceased animals or rotten pizza. I visited the Cook County Morgue in Chicago with my sister’s forensics law school class and I literally had to drive all the way back to the suburbs with the windows rolled down and then shower and wash my clothes to remove the pungent and distintive stench of death. I’ll never forget it and that was 15 years ago. If I stumbled upon that stench again I would know in a second what was there.
Granny Anthony is either mentally ill or is covering for her daughter. Nothing else makes sense.
Lis, I often find myself disagreeing with you about many issues but not this one. This entire story has stunk to high heavens from the beginning. Nothing has added up. I find myself absolutely mesmerized by this case. It sends chills up and down my spine due to the almost total vacuum of facts. Add to that major players that are total strangers to ideal of truth-telling and I am very, very fearful that is not going to end well for many of those players. I have this gnawing feeling that if and when the facts start actually coming out, we are going to be SHOCKED and APPALLED. I’m predicting that it will get UGLY quickly.
Lis,
In this case, it’s very hard for the mother to imagine her daughter is capable of something like this. We’ve all been blessed with common sense, and we can pretty much assume the child is unfortunately dead.
In a crime, the way someone acts is very telling. Not reporting your daughter missing unfortunately puts up a red flag.
I wish the mother and father could sit back for ten minutes and think twice about bonding her out of prison.
Use your common sense mom and dad.
I AM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS. How can she not assist the authorities. This poor little girl, everytime i see her picture on TV or on the web it makes me said. I am a mother of 2-teenage girls and I make sure they are safe and secure everyday!! How could this mom not care enough to do whatever it takes to get her daughter back OR BE HONEST. I hope and pray a miracle comes out of this!!!

Could it be that granma knows that Casey is guilty and trying to weave her a story in order to cover up!!!!
This family makes my skin crawl. It’s so obvious that the mother of the missing child is a lying scatter brained woman who defintely got those traits from her mother. That poor little girl is dead and this whole family is trying to forestall the inevitable. The inevitable being that she is dead and her mother had a hand in it or knew about how it happened. Furtermore, I doubt there even was a babysitter that she claimed to have left her with. The whole thing makes me sick. Keep her in jail because thats where she will be eventually.
This is really pathetic. This precious little girl who entrusts her family to keep her safe is betraying her. Seems to me the Grandmother knows exactly what has happened to Caylee and is protecting her daughter who lies habitually and not being an advocate for Caylee. Family doesn’t mean anything to these people.
THIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER NEED TO WAKE UP!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE TRUTH. I AM A MOTHER OF 2-TEENAGE GIRLS, AND I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AND WHO THEY ARE WITH ON A DAILY BASIS!! FOR THIS CHILD NOT TO BE REPORTED MISSING FROM DAY ONE, THIS MOM KNOWS MORE THAN WHAT SHE IS TELLING OR NOT TELLING!! I HOPE AND PRAY A MIRACLE COMES OUT OF THIS STORY…
COLEEN
The mom is definitely holding back. I think she has mental issues and has either done something to her daughter or allowed someone else to do something to her. Bottom line is, this is when we need GITMO style interrogation techniques …. the state is being negligent in not pushing this harder.
This whole family makes me want to wretch. Grandma is so clueless its pathetic. That woman had a hand in her daughters disappearance or death thats pretty clear to anyone with eyes. I don’t know if it is denial or what but these people need to wake up and face the fact that the mother knows what happened and is trying to forestall the inevitable, her daughter being found dead and her being charged with it. No one lies as much as this broad did unless you have something to hide. I doubt that the infamous babysitter even exits. The whole thing makes me sick.
I agree—time to blurt. The mother of this child has lied from the start. At first, I felt sorry for the grandmother–now I don’t. She’s enabling her daughter to lie. She needs to face the truth about her daughter, and get real herself. It is the only way she will ever find out what happened to this innocent child. Mother and daughter live in pretend, and a child is gone because of it. Stop blaming everyone else for your family’s extreme dysfunction.
We need to water board her and find out the truth. Too much goes into protecting the rights of criminals. that poor little girl needs to be found. Either way it turns out she needs some peace. I hope this turns out for the best and the baby is fine. I would not give custody to the grand parents either because they are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
This absolutely breaks my heart!!! God bless that beautiful, inocent little girl.
Absolutely amazing! I go nuts when I lose sight of my children at the store for a second for fear of what could happen to them. In this crazy world, nothing surprises me anymore. I can’t for the life of me imagine what could be so important that she can’t “blurt” it out. Did she sell her daughter?? Is she hiding her from an abusive person or people that want custody of her?? If so, let it out…the truth shall set you free. My prayers and thoughts are with that beautiful little girl. I only hope it’s not to late.
This lying, screwed up mother of Caylee sounds so much like my daughter…which is why I’m raising my grandson! Doesn’t anyone in the family care about the child?! If this mother could help if she was released, why can’t she help in jail? Just tell the truth!
What is going on? Something is very wrong in this family. The grandmother is becoming more and more offensive to watch. She knows something, and the cryptic “Casey is trying to tell them in her own way” statement holds no truth. Grandma needs to pony up and quit wasting news time. Everytime the grandmother comes on, I turn the channel.
I agree that she needs to start providing information but…… Unless there is proof of wrong doing should they be able to keep the mother in custudy? Do we no longer have constitutional rights? Are we guilty until proven innocent? I hope and pray that this little girl turns up unharmed and feel that Casey holds the answers but without proof of crime she should not be in Jail. 500k is a huge bound for not being truthful to the police. If the little girl turns up alive and well or has truly been kidnapped then the police have been wasting time focusing all attention on her.
I agree-blurt away. The longer they don’t say anything the more likely we will not find that child. I feel like the whole family is being selfish, and more worried about themselves than Caylee. How can you NOT tell the authorities and all of us that want to help what you know?
I felt compassion for them all when I first heard of missing Caylee. Now I can not help but think that they all are covering something up and they are all involved somehow. NO one will tell the truth, which means not one of them care about Caylee.
God Bless this family and I pray that the police find her.
This story has pierced all the way thru my heart. I am raising my 2 1/2 year old granddaugher (I’ve had legal custody of her since she was 4 months old) and, who, ironically is also named “Kaylie” and who actually looks very similar to this precious child, so every time I see the picture on tv, my skin crawls to know that this could have very well been my precious “Kaylie” due to problems that my own daughter has. I don’t understand the grandmother AT ALL!!! If this was my daughter, I would probably be the one in jail for trying to make my daughter tell me where that child is. The grandmother keep saying that she is pleading with the public to find Kaylie - why not be PLEADING with her own daughter, who is the one who actually has the answers!!!!
I cannot believe this grandmother is being so rude and hateful to people trying to help find this child. I saw her interviews and was SHocked. this woman is in deep denial. I have children and one is 21 years old. I’m afraid I’d beat it out of him. This woman needs to forget her daughter for now and just put her funds and time in finding Caylee. Casey has no credibility in my opinion due to lies. Her attorney says she has and wants to help. He even said “she has talked with police” well since when is lying to police considered cooperation. I just pray this sweet child is okay. Just the fact the grandmother says Casey is a “good mother” blows me away - her child has been missing for how long, since when is this considered good mothering. If Caylee is found safe, take her away from this crazy family.
My goodness, isn’t this still America? Aren’t we still innocent until proven guilty?
And what about “deposing” Cindy on television as if Casey were already on trial for something she hasn’t even been charged with.
There’s a tip that is being followed up on about Caylee having been seen at Orlando International Airport and when asked her name, she said her first, middle and last names with the exact pronunciation she uses.
Cindy enabling? I don’t think so..#1 what has she enabled? She took care of her daughter and granddaughter when they needed to be taken care of? #2..Enabling her to keep quiet about what she may or may not know? How does one enable another to keep quiet?
I don’t have all the facts either, but I am not about to condemn ANYONE yet. I worked with Cindy years ago and I can tell you she is a very honest, extremely capable, efficient and caring nurse. She does definitely not have the personality of an enabler and is not mentally ill. What she is at this time is a very caring mother and grandmother who has had her granddaughter ripped from her loving arms…she is defending her daughter (not enabling) and has very little sleep in the past week. How would you handle her situation? I know I wouldn’t have been able to handle this as well as she has.
LAY OFF until all the facts come out.
I agree that mother & grandmother have a disfunction for sure. I have a 4 year old grandson & would find it very od for my daughter to just up & leave for a month without a good reason. I can’t imagine having no contact with this child for a month. I think this is a case of denial on the grandmothers part as the picture that is coming out is of her daughter being a compulsive liar.
JW did you not read they found the little girls hair in the trunk of Casey’s car? They also said the smell of decomposed remains was coming from the trunk..
What is really left to say here? I think everyone that has had something to say on this subject has hit the nail on the head. For anyone to wait 5 weeks before reporting their own child missing and having to be talked into doing is just simply outrageous. There is somethingnseriously wrong with that entire family and I hope she rots in that jail cell. Even if she had nothing to do with it, she needs to stay in there just for waiting so long.
Lis, would you see if anyone can or has asked a question I find fascinating? Why does Casey say she abandoned her car in that parking lot? Did she just forget it? Did her Mother Cindy not notice that the car was gone from about June 27 to July 12 when her curiosity finally got the better of her and she asked about her absent grandbaby? Or was Casey actually not living in the house during that period of time? According to Cindy’s own words she last saw Caylee on Sunday June 15. She didn’t ask again about her until July 12. There is a problem with this June 15 claim as she also said that Casey claimed to have been working from June 9 to July 12 and Caylee “staying with friends”. Someone needs to figure out why that car was abandoned and nobody noticed it in the household. It has been unclear if Casey was actually living in the house during the days in question. At one point the mother of Casey says she spoke with Casey everyday, but did she see her? This is the most bizarre case in years. But the car is the clue and has all the answers, maybe….
What an absolute waste of human life this grandmother grandfather and daughter are. To stay quiet as an innocent child is thrown away like a piece of trash. Why would the child need a nanny if the mother was too lazy to work and why would you leave pizza in the trunk of the car- not even the pizza delivery men put pizza in their trunk-not to mention the story is so far fetched-these people need to be in the looney bin. One only needs to think of how you feel when you are out and about possibly shopping and your youngster is no longer at your side- automatic panic mode that stays with you even when you find your child 10 feet away looking at a toy display.
How can one family be so concerned over their own image and reputation as this little girl stays missing. Does the word dysfunctional, and selfish come to mind. Was this little girl so unimportant that her whereabouts are not important to this family.-This family disgusts me.
I keep hearing everyone speak of innocent until proven guilty… In todays society people no one is innocent! Not with what people are capable of these days. My Mother, father, sister and me take care of my other sisters 3 kids because she is worthless. In my book she should be held for lying to authorities first off and sending them on a wild goose chase and then if they do find out the little girl and alive and Casey had something to do with it, send her to the chair or lethal injection which ever. THIS IS A PRECIOUS 2 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL WE ARE SPEAKING OF PEOPLE. She is not even capable of taking care of her self, and her sorry worthless mother will not give any information besides giving authorities the run around. Did you see her in court. Twice she has been in front of a judge and showed absolutly no emotion! she is a sorry excuse of a mother. If it were my child I would be telling the cops everything and if my childs life was in danger I would let them know before I told them anything that this could not be leaked. She is ridiculous..
Regarding Wills comment, Yes I did read that but if the evidence was that compelling they would have arrested her and charged her with murder. I am saying that under our constitutional rights she is innocent until proven otherwise! That comment was made by a cop, not a forensic pathologist. So at this point his sole opinion means very little. You people seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions that are not based on fact. Has it been reported that the little girl is dead? I can’t remember hearing that. Do any of you remember a case from Boulder, CO. Where the Police and the PRESS all but convicted the Ramseys for the death of their child. And then what.. 10 years later DNA proves they were innocent all along. To bad Patsey died before those results came through. So quick to judge with very little information. Bad judgement and bad decisions is what Casey is guilty of at this point. It may turn out to be more but as of right now that is all the police have provided.
I hope they find good news about the lead at the Orlando airport. At this time, I cannot help but think it was faked as well. I hope I am wrong. How did Cindy not know Caylee was missing so long if they lived with her? That is way too many days to assume she was at a babysitters that she did not know. Facts are facts and right now it is not looking to good for any of them…
Just tell the truth.
They both appear to be disconnected from reality. No parent or grandparent in their right mind would conduct themselves in that way under these circumstances. I believe that something is terribly wrong.
Lets see: 1) Mother failed to report her child missing for 5 weeks. 2) Mother lied about her job, as well as other facts to the police. 3) Smell of rotten corpus in her car - come on grandma there is a big difference between rotten pizza and a decomposing body - once you smell this you will never forget the smell (I was a paramedic for 20 years and saw and smelled many). 4) Mother, daughter and granddaughter all lived together..how could you not questioned where your granddaughter was for 5 weeks. 5) Similar hair to Caylee’s found in trunk- since when do you put your child in the trunk of a car for play? 6)Babysitter doesn’t exist per law enforcement. 7) The house of the so called babysitter that Casey took law enforcement to hasn’t been lived in for how many weeks - something like 18 weeks.
Grandma is wasting precious air time by using the excuse I’m tired and I can’t answer questions because I am exhausted - this is understandable but then stay off the air - and just keep quiet - her interviews make her look like she is covering up her daughter. 9) Seems fishy that Casey just happened to borrow a shovel from the neighbors recently 10) Mother confirmed that her daughter lies, so what has changed for Casey lately? She will continue to be deceitful to her mom and everyone else. 11) Cindy didn’t know who the father for Caylee is but knew the father is dead - hmmm that I find odd.
Yes in the USA we are suppose to be innocent until proven guilty, but things look pretty bleak for Casey. As for Cindy it is understandable how she wants to protect her child, after all no one ever wants to be a parent to a criminal or murder. I really doubt that Caylee is alive. My prayers are with Caylee- that she is in the comforts of heaven.
Let’s think it another way. Where is the father and his family? The grandmother thought the father was “Jeff”, I think. Yet, Casey says he’s dead. But what about the father’s family? They might want this child. And, was the father dead before or after Caylee disappeared…and, by how many days?
Casey and Cindy Anthony are none too bright…….they don’t have to tell the world, but PLEASE trust the police.
Doesn’t matter how great grandparents they were before, what their past professions were or how much they loved their grandchild- any parent who believes their child needs to be quiet in order to save a grandchild that has been missing for 5 weeks with proof of decomp in the backyard and trunk-needs to have their heads examined -they still believe their daughter who needed a nanny for her child when she was too lazy to work and had a history of being a pathological liar is innocent- i bet the grandparents are just trying to help the mother cover up her crime- I would rot in jail for my children to be safe-just another dysfunctional person who had no right to raise a child.
Not sure if posted earlier…
I’m saying look for this father…when did he die? Where is HIS family…all generations?
Date concerns: Did they ever clear up Cindy’s story that 1) she last saw Caylee on June 8, but 2) she took video of her visiting Cindy’s father on Father’s Day, June 15? Who could make such a mistake? When a relative or close friend has died, I remember the last time I saw them and details.
So, Cindy, tell your daughter to TELL THE POLICE:
“I know Casey knows who has her,” Cindy Anthony told NBC. “I know Casey doesn’t know where they’re at right at the moment. But I don’t know anything else right now because I can’t speak to my daughter. And we’re trying to get that changed very quickly.”
Several facts concer me, the grandmother in court stated only her husband knew of their financial situation, but a few seconds later states they were behind on bill’s. So which is it?? It appears that nobody from the missing childs Mother to the grandmother are credible. There was more concern about the welfare of the mother then the child. What reasonable mother or grandmother would not go the extra mile to find this child, the child is missing and they have a conversation about where is hse, only to show up at the Police dept. that evening. ???? Then the grandmother stating she forgives her daughter no matter what she may have done??? Looks like there is more knowledge they are not sharing. And the mother stating she would come forth with information as long as she would not be prosecuted.??? Sorry to many red flags here, I believe that both the grandmother and mother know more then they are telling, and it seems the only thing the mother wants, is to Bail out and split. I wonder why it took the grandmother so long to realize the child was missing?? The grandmother iis a nurse, so she even knows better, garbage smells like garbage, and decomposition of human remains have a smell like no other. So why is she pushing this spin on the public. Makes one ask, Why the big smoke screens.??? I fear we all are starting to know the answer. I hope for the childs sake I am wrong.
Lis,
Cynthia Anthony is making it worse with her hostile and defensive attitude.
She is a registered nurse. She knows the smell of death. Does she think everyone is so stupid that we actually believe that the odor came from a dead pizza?!
Bo Deitl (one of my favorites) said that based on the mother’s actions, he knows why the daughter is such a mess. I thought the same thing. I am a private investigator who was married to a homicide/robbery detective in California, and I don’t believe a word that Cynthia Anthony has to say. She is full of it. She is enabling her daughter to get away with murder. I hope they all go to jail.
Jill
UofA1993 stated that they heard granny ask a reporter to leave a slice of pizza in his car for 19 days to see what it smelled like. What is with “19 days”? Why did she choose 19 days in her statement? Maybe a slip that furthers everyones conclusion that she knows precisely what happened to the child.
Lay off? Start talking, Granny. Then I’ll lay off.
I’m shocked to know Moms can drown their own babies in bathtubs. This woman is capable of doing horrible things to her child too. It’s a sick society where life has no value, and parents have no conscience, and children shouldn’t expect their Mothers to love and protect anymore. I’m sick of this.
Am I the only one who thinks the Grand parents may in fact be involved in the child’s disappearance?
When this story first broke I felt some sympathy for Caylee’s grandmother since I am a grandmother myself and tried to imagine how I would feel if something like this were to have happened in my family. But I can’t understand how this grandmother can condone the lying and holding back of information that she knows her daughter has regarding the whereabouts of little Caylee. Instead, she is becoming more and more defiant and combative with every interview she does. No matter what the details are, they certainly should be ‘blurted out’ so the disappearance and whereabouts of the child can be solved. The last straw for me was Grandma’s remarks yesterday about the pizza in the car. Why would anyone leave a pizza in a car for fifteen days or more? Most people who buy a pizza buy it because they are hungry for a pizza, not to buy one and leave it in the trunk of a car until it spoils. Who bought the pizza? Does Grandma think that experienced homicide detectives and canine cadaver dogs don’t know the difference between a decomposed body and a rotten pizza? Or is she more intelligent than the investigators? It makes me wonder now, whether Grandma knows a lot more about the whole sorry story than has come to light. It also seems strange to me that she didn’t remember that it was Father’s Day that she had last seen her granddaughter. I think that if the last time I’d seen my granddaughter was on a Father’s Day, which isn’t like any other day, that I would certainly remember it. So why did she originally say she’d last seen her on June 9 - a lie or a ’senior moment’?
Finding Caylee is more important than being concerned about Casey being in jail !!!! If Casey is not willing to give informative information to help locate her daughter, her silence is only to protect herself. The grandma is in denial and needs to take a firmer stand in talking to her daughter about what has become of Caylee. My hope is that Caylee is safe and with someone that cares about her welfare, but my mind says not.
Spit it out!!! Also, why would the supposed sightings of Caylee be called into Cindy Anthony and not the police? HELLO!!!!! The last sighting in White County, GA was called into Cindy at midnight last night. Hmmmmmm, we hear about it on America’s Newsroom and not from the police? Hmmmmmmmm. I just looked at the AJC (Atlanta newspaper) website and there is not one mention of the case. Hmmmmmmm.
There’s a reported sighting of Caylee at the Orlando Airport…. Shouldn’t there be surveillance video????
This case is sickening. The mother had a smile on her face while handcuffed at jail. I think she is completely nuts, however lets not make her punishment more leniant when this all comes out. In the end the grandmother will also be tied to this crime and i bet it all that the little girl was murdered after the mother beat her. Dirt, hair and the smell of decomposition in the trunk. How stupid are the cops on this case. my 11 year old daughter could figure this one out. cmon police get it together, and what is happening to this country.
This Grandma should not be given airtime. It appears to me that she is insulting to anyone who asks her hard questions. She is very arrogrant. Take her off the air and let the officials find this girl - dead or alive.
I agree with everyone on the blog that this family is unreal and strange. I agree it appears they are covering up and I am afraid this little girl is dead.
Grandma seems to be the guilty one and she thinks she’s smarter than the professionals asking questions. Too much CSI for Grandma…..
I think it will turn out Grandma’s responsible and that she contrived the story and plan to divert the attention of the investigation away from her and her daughter, whom she promised to save if she would keep her mouth shut. The daughter will finally cave in and confess to what Grandma has done.
The grandpa and brother are oblivious to the cover up and the mother is too mentally fragile to stand up to it.
The grandmother just seems weirder and weirder to me. The first night I saw her I thought she was way over the top and seemed obsessive about her granddaughter. Later she told Nancy Grace that her daughter wanted to go away with Kaylee to “bond.” If mother and daughter never bonded, it was because Grandma was in the way. If this child is dead, I wonder if Mother did it because she felt totally disassociated from both of them.
Authorities should check the mothers/grandmothers credit card purchases for gas receipts from the days/weeks after the little girl supposedly went missing. If it appears that there was a spike at some point and the trail of receipts leads to the Georgia NC border, then……. Grandma seems to be leading the investigation and directing the authorities to the body (somewhere in “NorthEast Georgia near the NC border”.) All part of her cover up story of kidnap and murder.
The mother needs to be interviewed a bit more, she’ll break down eventually.
Who am I to comment, but this story reeks of cover up.
This case is very definitely wierd. I think the grandmother knows way more than she wants law enforcement to know and, in fact, may be very guilty in the disappearance of her granddaughter. Now, just today, law enforcement has been told of a newly poured concrete slab in the grandparents’ back yard. There are so many indicators here, I would hope law enforcement can get search warrants without impediment. I also agree that this grandmother is way over the top when it comes to her granddaughter. I think we’ve all seen her type — just way over the top. The only one I feel for is Caylee, but, unfortunately, I don’t she is any longer among the living. This is just so absolutely sad!
Not to change the subject too much…
JW asks “are we guilty until proven innocent?” and refers to the Constitution. Will someone please enlighten me? Where does the Constitution say that a person is innocent until proven guilty? Is it in the body of the Constitution? The Bill of Rights? The other amendments? Oh, you might look up the word “impartial” before you rush to respond.
I would like to know, if I am the only one who think this is just crazy? The grandparents are not investigators, their daughter knows what happen to their granddaughter and she’s not saying anything. I am a mother and if that was my daughter, i would know where my grandchild is or what happen to her. I think they need to put me in with(i am not telling what happen to my daughter), i will get the truth out of her once and fo all.
I think the idea about the NC/Georgia border being where Casey left Caylee is very likely. With the 911 call info, we know Casey was missing for 31 days before she returned home. When asked about Caylee, she said she’d been trying to find her. In light of the mother’s scream on the 911 tape…where CINDY said the car smelled like a body……..And, the 19 days. comment above….that made me shudder.
Cindy says her family has faith in Casey and that her family has never worked together like they have in the last week. Oh, please.
Dig up the concrete!
Cindy is obstructing justice any and every way that she can. She herself told the 911 operator that “the car smelled like a dead person”. Is there anyone that truly believes that a NURSE did not pick up the smell of death in the car as she so claimed on the stand? It’s quite possible (although to me, improbable) that she doesn’t know what happened to Kaylee, BUT she is obstructing justice when she repeatedly lies to the court and to the investigators.
Caylee is dead. After Cindy herself said the car smelled like a “dead person” , the investigator on the stand said it smelled like a corpse, and then two cadaver dogs “hit” on the trunk of the car, there’s no doubt this poor child is dead.
Hopefully, somehow, somewhere they will find her body. Not only do they need to prosecute Casey for murder, they need to prosecute Cindy for obstruction of justice.
It’ s very interesting to me that the Orlando police found out about these “tips” that the grandmother refers to by watching Fox News. If someone saw the little girl at OIA and called he tip line why not call the police and have them get to the airport or check the plane in GA when it landed. Instead she called the news people. That doesn’t make sense. Also, some people are saying that they should let the mother out of jail. There is another reason (I believe) that they are holding her with such a high bond. Trenton Duckett. He was a little boy from Leesburg Florida who vanished and the mother had suspected involvement, she subsequently committed suicide and the case went stone cold. Something is not adding up when the mother won’t help police, her lawyer is helping her to stonewall the investigation and the grandmother, instead of helping the police talk to her daughter is attempting to sway public opinion using the media. Very odd indeed!
What happened to innocent until proven guilty??? My heart goes out to this little innocent child, however I do not agree with some commentators on fox news that evaluate the mother’s affect and then describe her as acting guilty. This is wrong, the world listens to this type of information. Maybe it iinflates the commentator’s ego to make these remarks, but it is not helpful to anyone.
I wonder what her credentials are for providing this type of information???
Now can anyone answer me this: Why has there not been an Amber Alert issued on this little girl. I live in Florida about 50 miles from where this is taking place, but my concern is they might actually be able to find this little girl if the agancies involved would issue a alert.
This story is so sad. I am a mother of three kids and I could never imagine what this would feel like. Although, what the hell is wrong with this mother that she did not report this until a month later. That is dispicable!!!!
This woman needs to be put in jail and throw away the key.
We are seeing the results of the make excuses society. We are talking about a little 2 year old girl and her mother and grandmother are disfunctional. How come the fathers are never mentioned because these children are not born thru emmaculate conception. Little Caylee is the victim-not her mother or grandmother. They should be held accountable for what they are saying to the media. Shame on them.
Lis,
I agree 100%. This mother and Grandmother both are trying to cover up. I just read all three of the 911 tape transcripts on Fox website. The first tape she wanted the daughter arrested for grand theft auto and stealing money and that the daughter had been missing for a month and she just found her. Why didn’t the grandma report Casey missing? Which now she doesn’t mention at all when she is being interviewed about her stealing a car and money. What happened to this. In the second and third 911 calls she says that she just found the daughter’s car and that she just found out that Caylee is missing. Don’t you think when she found Casey that she would have asked where Caylee was? The grandmother is just as screwed up in the head as Casey is. If this were my daughter and my granddaughter was missing, I would beat her until she told me and the authorities where that child was. Her attorney is only making this terrible ordeal worse my not letting authorities talk to her also. This is a very sad situation and the child is the one that is suffering, if she is still alive. I truly think that Casey and the grandmother both know that this child is dead. I also read that a new concrete pad was poured in their back yard on July 4, don’t know how credible it is, but it looks pretty suspicious to me.
I have one question that is bugging me and I have not heard anyone mention it, but why haven’t we heard anything about the person who has supposedly kidnap this child? I would think that the police would have gotten a description of some sorts or even get a sketch artist in. That seems a little odd to me atleast a general description of the woman that police would have gotten.
Have I missed it? Why hasn’t there been any information given about the babysitter who was the last person to have the little girl? Was there even a babysitter? Who is this babysitter? Why is all the focus on the mother who was put in jail? Why was she put in jail? Why haven’t we seen pictures of the babysitter all over the news? Has anyone really been looking for the little girl? What difference does it make what the two moms say to each other and how does that help locate the child? Could a father have the little girl? There is a lot of strangeness about this case.
after listening to Casey’s jail house phone call, I think her relation with her boyfriend Tony is the key. Her being self centered and in the trouble of her life all she wants is Tony’s phone number during that call. Casey met this man two months ago and one ago her daughter disappears. I was wondering if there’s room in her new relationship for a three year old when she’s only 23.
One more thought…If no one knows the truth, then how can anyone KNOW that the mother is lying? What if she is not lying?
Sheila Lee, I guess “lying” is a bit harsh. It might be better to say the mother may not KNOW the truth. She may not know the difference between a lie and the truth (have you heard her parents explain this?)
The family is hysterical, misguided, confused, and most have very poor memories. Have you ever heard of a grandmother not knowing the bday of the grandchild living in her house? They’ve referred to Caylee as 3 when she’s only 2. They even say little Caylee herself told people she was 3.
What exactly would be lie here? Would it be the Cindy saying she last saw Caylee on June 8 when Cindy says she took video of Caylee with Cindy’s father on June 15? Would it be Casey saying she was arrested “on a whim”? Would it be Caylee saying she was 3 when she was 2….
CIndy’s husband says all kids tell lies.
It is obvious that Casey has no real emotional tie to the little girl. As a mother, I can’t imagine not doing anything and everything possible to find my child if it was missing regardless of the personal consequences to myself.
I think Casey willingly gave or sold her daughter to some type of black market baby broker. I think her mother (Cindi) found out about it and gave Casey an ultimatum to get Caylee back or she was going to report her missing to the police which she eventually did. Nothing else makes sense knowing that Cindi (the grandmother) gave Casey (the mother) a month to produce Caylee according to the taped recording of their call on Saturday.
I believe it is possible that Casey was probably told by whoever took physical custody of the child from Casey that if she divulged anything at any point to the authorities that Caylee’s life may be in jeopardy and Casey relayed that message to her own mother, which is why the Grandmother is obviously not telling everything she knows.
Or…
I’ve watched too much TV and read too many suspense novels.
