I am with you on most of what you wrote but not about when Cindy knew Caylee was dead. She was a nurse and might have an idea of how death smelt but that doesn’t really matter because SHE told 911 the car smelled like a dead body had been in it. And George knew exactly what the awful smell was because he TOLD the detectives he smelled it and how he knew what it was. So...
On July 16th they got that car back and IMMEDIATELY got the stuff out of it...the doll and Caylee’s car seat which Cindy scrubbed, Casey’s pants which Cindy washed. Even worse, they VACUUMED that trunk repeatedly. Ever wonder why only ONE Caylee hair was found in it?
George was a cop and he knew better than to do that. But he didn’t stop Cindy and he didn’t call the police to stop her either. Tampering with Evidence. Obstruction of Justice. A CHILD was still missing for pete’s sake.
That car was said to be detailed better than a professional could do it before the police got there. Why do you suppose they did that IF they didn’t know Casey had done something really TERRIBLE to Caylee?
The smell of death is really the last and only clue you need to know that Cindy Anthony knew on July 16th that Caylee was dead. And the reason she knew it was Casey and/or Lee told her after she hung up with 911 and before the police got to the house. That’s just how people like this operate. They draw the wagons around when one of them needs defending no matter what that person did.
Cindy gets no sympathy from me. I see what she did and I see why she did it and it appalls me. George is nothing but a marshmallow of a man who does whatever Cindy told him and Lee is just plain creepy.
I understand....who knows when reality took over Cindy’s denial...but at some point she knew...I’m not so sure cleaning the car was anything but perhaps a fear response by Cindy as that reality hit home. Same with cleaning the decomposition off Casy’s pants. If you clean something long and hard enough maybe you can wipe it away clean..Cindy had been doing this for Casey for years.
I listened to all Cindy’s calls made that day to the police...yet again...clearly disgusted with Casey and appeared Cindy was pulling down the hammer on Casey, even after she asked for “one more day” Cindy was going to have her arrested for stealing the car and money....and reported that pretty calmly........ But I think holding this squarely over Casey’s head to get her to ‘give it up’ where Casey was....and yes, I think Cindy believed Casey knew where she was or she wouldn’t have made these first two calls. But it’d be a bit before the dots would connect...
But by the third call clearly Casey had begun to talk, once she understood Cindy was serious about having her arrested,..and clearly Cindy was frantic once Casey told her Cayley had been missing for a month, and the car smelling connected, ...(Cindy’s getting it finally)...slowly but surely....back and forth between wanting to believe Casey and denying the otherwise obvious. Cindy was between a rock and a hard place...and denial wasn’t working anymore.
You understand that during that call Cindy was realizing what the family had tried to tell her was adding up.....that right there before her was her daughter who not only knew where Cayley was, but the likely hood she had harmed her was more than possible....a stark and trembling reality to face your daughter hurt your beloved granddaughter.....listen real close To Cindy as she speaks because she’s just gotten beyond forcing Casey to speak up or go to jail....enough pressure itself...but now the reality is squarely in Cindy’s face.
I don’t know how someone would handle all the possibilites which surely flooded Cindy’s mind....but her voice surely evidenced that of fear, trembling and frantic appeal..but yet still trying to control the situation with Casey right there.
I don’t think Cindy had anything directly to do with Caley’s death...nor George for that matter....but the more you dive into this family the more you see stranger than fiction happenings.
“”And the reason she knew it was Casey and/or Lee told her after she hung up with 911 and before the police got to the house.””
Lee testified that his mother had to keep leaving to cool down when he was asking Casey questions that night in her bedroom. The one 911 call had already been made and Lee was trying to tell Casey what it would be like when the cops got there - and that was ONLY for the problems that Cindy related to 911 at that time - not the disappearance of her granddaughter.
Cindy walked outside and paced around. She returned to the house, walked down the hall and heard Casey tell Lee that she hadn’t seen Caylee in 31 days. That’s when she made the next 911 calls....George found her outside the home again when he returned to the house.
I don’t imagine things were exactly as Cindy related them on the stand as we’ve seen her on videos with a vicious, cussing out of reporters and others on their property. I would imagine there was a lot of shouting and cussing by all of them.
