Grandparents Met with Casey 14 Aug

[QuickAttack]

He worked for the Sheriff's office in Trumbull Co. Ohio for ten years. Since moving to FLA. he's worked in various security jobs.

And that's odd.

Because, usually, when law enforcement officers move to a new city, they easily find new jobs with the county or city to which they relocate, especially in cities the size of Orlando. Most metro areas recruit heavily for new officers...one with experience would be highly desired. On the other side of the coin, rent-a-cops come a dime a dozen. You usually find people who can't past law-enforcement muster working in security-guard jobs.

I don't know what happened to George in Ohio, as far as his history with the SD there, but something must explain why he's had no work in law enforcement since.

That's not exactly true. Ex-military work at lot of security jobs especially with specific companies, one of which is based in FLA. as well. I thought I heard he'd retired from the Sheriff's office, but that can't be right with only 10 years. Perhaps there's some disability or he simply got tired of the grind. I looked and couldn't find anything about his time there but his former boss speaks highly of him.

txsvicki, George was upset when a journalist asked him a question about Caylee being dead while he and Cindy were on the way in to see Casey at the jail. He told them to shut up several times.

BTW ya'll, we don't know why he and Cindy almost divorced, and it really isn't any of our biz anyway, but there are cops who get divorced because their spouse can't handle them being on the force. Perhaps that was a catalyst and he agreed to leave LE.

Well, I think it depends on the type of company he was working for.

But it sounds to me like he had a string of rent-a-cop jobs...low wage, low status jobs.

Most metro areas heavily recruit for law enforcement jobs...I just can't imagine him taking a job with a rent-a-cop company instead of with the city or county, which, I'd imagine, would have better benefits.

The kind of jobs you're talking about are usually decent-paying jobs with some permanency, without the turnover of rent-a-cop companies.

Wonder why George apparently never stayed at one job very long, after relocating to Florida.

(In this area, people who work as rent-a-cops are usually the people who can't get on with law enforcement agencies. It may be different elsewhere, but that's what I see here.)

That might come down to why he left the force in the first place and whether he wanted to or tried to apply.

Are you kidding me?
Did you watch the video?
Did you expect him to smile and laugh at that question?

Come off it people.... put yourself in their shoes!
How would any of you like to be in their place? I bet they would trade you!

They do not want to even think she is dead! How can so many people sit here and judge them?
Walk a day in their shoes! PLEASE stop bashing them. They have lost their
granddaughter!
:furious:

To all those who judge them for not acting like you think they should....
God forbid in your ever in that position!

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
Well said again!

I second that!:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

[Saffron]

My gosh, *I* don't want to accept that Caylee is dead and I don't even know the family personally. I can't and never ever hope to know what they are going through. Very few here can.

And so many victims of this type of horror at least have the comfort (if that is the right word) of not having raised, clothed, fed, marveled at the first steps, words, day of school of the likely murderer. This has to be a double nightmare from the pit of hell.

Well said. I'm grateful there are those defending George and Cindy. I cannot imagine how horrible it is for them to be going through all of this. I feel so very sorry for them.

Thank you. My heart also goes out to these people. Look how deeply all of US, strangers to these people, care about this case and this child. We don't know them. They are not family to us. I felt the deepest love in my life the day my daughter was born. I don't understand Casey...but the grandparents love is unquestionable. You can see how they love little Caylee. They don't want to believe their daughter did this. They are desperately clinging onto whatever they can to emotionally survive this entire ordeal. Regardless of what we think of Casey, these people just want it all to be ok.
We here can sit here much more easily and judge them. We've never witnessed in person loving looks between Casey and her daughter they way they have. We don't have the memories in our heads that make the option that this happened with Casey something that doesn't make sense. They are biased not only by their love for Casey as parents, but as people who have good memories of of their daughter and grand-daughter. Love IS blind.
I wish I could remember what interview I saw. It was earlier in the case. Cindy had said that Zenaida loved Caylee and wanted her to be her own. So THAT is the story Casey gave her. Casey told Cindy she was too afraid to get the police involved for fear Zen would panic and harm herself/Caylee.
As a mother, who doesn't want to see a monster in your child, as a person who loves this beautiful little toddler, wouldn't that make sense to YOU that someone else loved little Caylee so desperately? Is that not something easier to handle mentally than what we all here on the outside see as reality?
The Anthony's tick me off and frustrate me... but I don't know if I would have the ability to be as strong and stoic as they have been. Their walls are GOING to come crashing down. We all know that. But I don't know how stable I'd be if everyone were telling me to give up hope.

 

[Snowlover77]

I am pretty gullible....I can't fathom that she just wouldn't let her parents raise the child if she wanted out

Maybe the parents didn't want the sole responsibility of raising caylee. Casey figured as long as Caylee was alive she would have to deal with her parents about being a more responsible mother to Caylee.

Also what would Tony think of a mother who gave her child up?

 

[txsvicki]

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like George seems to be respectful and civil to the press that he can use for his (Casey's) benefit, but then threatens and blows up at others for asking questions when he is in a bad mood. That's no way to be acting with a possible dead grand daughter and a daughter in jail. Poor Caylee had no daddy and no other set of grandparents to fight for her. They wouldn't be taking up for Casey and doing this sort of thing if they only knew.

 

[Sunshinegirl]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but on NG tonight there is a banner up stating that VIDEO from today's jail visit is due to be released ANY minute now... I'm dying to know what what said or asked...

 

[wedavis]

Actually George's reaction today seems normal to me. To me all this calmness from them has been sort of eerie.
I would imagine it would be natural to "lose it" a few times considering the pressure and stress, not to mention the media in your face anytime you step out in the sunshine.

Cindy wasn't all that upset though. Ready to talk in the mics again

I don't know. If I knew for a fact my granddaughter was alive and the press was saying those things, I would just shrug it off because I would be on cloud 9.

 

[wedavis]

I do believe that the Anthony's are dumbstruck about Clint's comments . . . especially since Casey NEVER seemed concerned that Caylee was kidnapped by the nanny during the time she was staying at Clint/TonEs home. There is an overlap of at least 2 weeks.

I disagree. If Cindy talked on the phone with Casey in the month Casey was "missing" Cindy had firsthand knowledge already that Casey was acting "normal."

If they saw it they may have been stunned to hear that when Caylee was missing she told people that Caylee was with them (when they know she was not).

 

[wedavis]

further, the grandparents would have raised Caylee.
Casey was not even in the positon of having no one to take her "burden" from her.
And this is why I feel strongly that it was her final act of hurting her parents.
The grandparents had threatened to take Casey (and I am sure it wasn't the first time).

And she isnt the kind fo psychopath that tried to show perfection to the world so had to kill Caylee in order to get rid of an unwanted burden. I mean she left Casey with just about anyone who would watch her.

As well, Casey cold have gone on pretending to be a mother with her parents raising Caylee. it would not be much different than what had been going on all along.

This is an evil kid who killed to punish those who preferred or appeared to prefer Caylee. (In Caseys eyes).

Tony may very well have showed Caylee affectiion and thzat would not be ok with Casey.

Your theory was supported in the first jail call home. Quite angrily she said: "All they care about is finding Caylee." And then she realizes what she just said and inserts "you know what that is all I care about too."

That combined with "they (cops) have already said they are going to pin this on me" said it all.

Pin what on her? She kidnapped her own daughter? Are we really to believe that an attractive white young female is the type of person police love to set up? Please. She slipped here because what she said only makes sense if she was referring to a dead Caylee.

 

[wedavis]

and I do not think with the kind of attention this case has received that anyone holding her would not come forward.

I mean if u r holding a child against the will of a parent because they did not pay u and it became as exposed as this, I think u would simply drop her off somewhere and run for your life.

It was like the robbers in the SP case..they turned themselves in so they were not charged for the murder of lacie. They served time for it as well, but the case became so exposed they knew they had better step up vs being found later and charged for the murder.

I don't understand your analogy. If the "babsitter" didn't kill Caylee they wouldn't feel the need to step forward because all they are going to be charged with is kidnapping. Not murder. If they did kill her then they should run for their lives (as they are apparently - if they exist). But to avoid the kidnap rap, I too would drop Caylee off at a hospital or something.

:blowkiss:Thanks guys!
When I see the grandparents.... it breaks my heart to even try
to imagine what they go through every second of everyday!

I wish everyone would just try to take a few steps in their shoes....

 

[txsvicki]

I'd much rather take a few steps in the victim's shoes. The victim is all that really matters, and I know that I wouldn't want to be laying dead somewhere and no one, not even my family would look for me because they just have to believe my murderer. I'd also hate to have no other family besides these due to being deprived of even that. If LE and everyone listens to the Anthony's and did as they say, a deceased Caylee would never be found. This is I how expect a victim of a never caught serial killer to end up, not a little toddler.

I mean absolutely no disrespect to the GP as i have never had to deal with this. BUT at this point they have told more lies and twisted more facts than Casey has at this point. Please dont get me started on Cindy. They literally make up fairy tales to try to prove their daughters innocence. They are probably LE biggest annoyance. I mean they had a presser just to clear up stuff they have stirred up. Inconsistent dog hits in the back yard? Dogs hitting on Georges sweat from a year ago from pouring the pavers? They know who has Caylee and are watching them? I can go on all night. These people are not helping anyone. Sure they are grieving and can say/do some crazy things. I just think it has gone too far. People need to realize that they are illegally interfering with this case by some of the things they are saying. JMO
