I can kind of understand the denial that Casey's parents are in.
When I was 16 my grandfather (my Dad's Dad) told me that my own Dad had murdered my brother 10 years earlier (my brother was 9 years old and I was 6 years old).
I didn't believe him then and didn't for many decades. It wasn't until I finally obtained what little remained of the investigative report last Spring that I found out that what I had been told all those years ago was indeed true.
My (now long deceased) Dad had taken life insurance policies out on me, my brother, and my Mom about 5 weeks prior to my brother's dying.
The week before he killed my brother (by drowning) I now realize that he took all of us out on the lake in a storm hoping to kill us all then but was thwarted by people stopping by the boat and begging him to let them take us (me, brother and Mom) back to shore which Dad TOTALLY rejected. He didn't go through with it because there would have been too many witnesses to this event.
A week later he was able to get my brother alone out on that lake once again.
The police report had details in it that not even my Mom knew about (such as the life insurance policies) and that the boat was never found and the bruise on my brother's head.
My Dad got away with this because he was a charming, lying, hypnotic narcissistic sociopath (think Bubba Clintoon only MUCH MUCH better looking!). The small town police department had never encountered anyone like him I'm certain and because killing your child wasn't a common thing back then and my Dad's good Christian family backing him up - he got away with it.
Thats the reason why I fear so much that Casey will get away with killing Caylee. She is sooooooo much like my late Dad in personality.The point of this long story is that even over 30 years after this happened my grandma STILL defended her son and my Dad. Even though he had long, long ceased any contact with any of us from his "first" family she continued to defend him. Thats why I kinda understand what Cindy and George are doing. Maybe they think siring a killer reflects badly on them as parents. Maybe they just can't bring themselves to admit the truth. I just pray that they haven't helped Casey hide Caylee's body.
I am so sorry to read your story. How can people be so inhumane to defenseless children? Thankfully, you survived and I suspect your dad is serving his sentence through eternity though law enforcement did not catch him in this one. How tragic for him that his apparent Christianity was not a reality.
I’m a grandmother and I have two grandsons I would die for; I can’t understand those who harm children.
