After a weekend filled with talk, things have gone silent again in the case of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, who has been missing since early June.
Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, remains jailed. She's charged with child neglect and lying to authorities after her mother reported the toddler missing.
Today, Casey's brother Lee literally ran from reporters after visiting Casey at the Orange County Jail. They wanted know know more about claims he made to the media over the weekend that his sister gave him the names of friends who know Caylee's alleged baby sitter, Zenaida Gonzalez.
"Two particular people that introduced her to Zenaida because they had children and that's how the connection was made," Lee said.
Casey reportedly said Gonzalez had Caylee.
Casey's mother, Cynthia Anthony, also spoke with the media over the weekend. "Casey is protecting this family, she is protecting Caylee, she is protecting us, she's afraid of speaking to law enforcement," Anthony said.
From behind bars, Anthony says her daughter told her there is a threat against Caylee and the entire Anthony family, and that's the reason she's been misleading or silent on the toddler’s whereabouts. Casey apparently wouldn't say what that threat was.
"I don't want to point fingers at the Orange County Sheriff's Office, but they want their job to be easy, they want an easy answer, if there was an easy answer Casey would have told us a month ago," Cynthia Anthony said.
Casey Anthony reportedly has told investigators nothing new, and her attorney says she's willing to talk to the FBI. At last word, she had made no request to speak with any Federal agents.
She's being held on a $500,000 bond. Her attorney is appealing the amount. But a court of appeals wants the results of a psychiatric evaluation before ruling. Those results will likely be sealed from the public.
Yesterday, a family here in North Texas found their 14 month old inside the family vehicle about an hour after they’d returned from a neighborhood waterpark. Apparently, there was confusion as to which parent was going to bring the boy inside; both thinking the other person had done so. The little guy was life-flighted to Dallas Children’s but sadly, he died from his prolonged heat exposure.
Accidents can always happen, but with Casey, I’m thinking it wasn’t so clearcut.
If I have this correctly, Casey has always lived with her parents. Except that in June she took off for awhile with Caylee. While gone, Casey called everyday so they knew she was OK. Grandma would ask to talk to Caylee and got excuses, like she’s napping, she’s with the sitter, etc.
Recently Casey went back home, without Caylee. That’s when Grandma started to get really suspicious. She and her husband initially told the police that they feared something had happened to Caylee but now Grandma has gone into some kind of denial.
She just doesn't seem that upset!
Can't figure out the grandmother though. Protecting her offspring I guess, as most of her interviews show. However, with such a weak case why is she putting herself out there?
These criminal masterminds have finally realized that all the calls from the jail are recorded. Their demeanor is completely different from earlier calls. Instead of sniping at each other, Lee is acting like he's Monk asking all these detective-like questions, because they've finally decided to look for Caylee! Now Casey says that she talked to Caylee on the phone the day her mom called 911. She cannot keep the disdain for her mother's actions out of her voice.
I heard the conversation. This girl is pure evil, imo, and should rot in jail along with her mother. The whole family (not sure about the brother) is involved with this murder cover up and I think the cops know a lot more than the family thinks.
Absolutely. One of the stories this morning said that the cops are done questioning her, because everything she says are lies.
While I was listening to the call I had Fox News on mute. I glanced up and the headline said, "Casey Anthony Refuses to See Family" but then they went right to commercial.
I have yet to hear the name of the father of the child who allegedly died. If he died, then there would be a record. Maybe she sold the child to the paternal grandparents. This question was raised yesterday on NG but none of the reporters had an answer. There could be an inheritance or insurance money from the father's side.
One can see how truly grieved she is.
This morning her lawyer says Caylee was taken after these pictures. His explanation for his clients new time-line IE..lies...”she was under duress”
Give me a break!
Fox is reporting a news conference on this case in a few. A breakthrough?
she killed or neglected her and she died, then she got stuffed into the car trunk with the intention of reporting it stolen.
didn't have to guts to go through with that, and after days of partying it became not an option.
so..
someone disposed of the body and mother is a whack job who will be on Thorazine induced stupor soon
Well, we can only figure Mom never intends for her child to be found.
A Mother, no matter what excuse, would go to law enforcement the minute her child disappears. No Mom, I have 3 boys, would wait over a month without going to the police. If the child was kidnapped, there would be ransom requests etc.
I think the grandma wants to believe her daughter. Deep down inside she knows she is going to end up with a dead granddaughter and a daughter in the slammer.
This woman(the grandma) is going to unravel when the truth finally emerges.
