I am NO fan of the Anthonys. They raised and enabled the monster that is Casey and, in my opinion, they significantly hindered the investigation. It made me sick to watch the videos of the jail house conversations and see how G&C pussy footed around her it was a joke and all that cloak and dagger talk between Casey and Lee made me laugh it was so ridiculous.
As a past homicide detective and one of the people closest to Casey, theres no doubt in my mind that George knew Caylees body was in the back of that trunk and that his lying, conniving daughter was responsible. Im sure he regrets everyday that he didnt make Casey show him her trunk on that day she retrieved the gas cans.
As much as I hate the Anthonys for how they have acted and responded to all of this, I feel a great deal of compassion for them. While it appears Casey was thinking about getting rid of Caylee months in advance (the web searches) I think that argument on Fathers day is what finally led her to do it, and Cindy feels responsible which has a lot to do with the fact that she couldnt accept what everyone else knew all along, Casey killed Caylee. As parents who loved their child and couldnt imagine life without their grandchild, I can understand why they had had to hold out hope to the bitter end.
I look at them and all I see is that their daughter has completely ruined and devastated their lives. Casey not only made them all look like fools in front of the entire world, she took away two of the most precious things in their lives (Caylee is dead and Casey will spend the rest of her life in jail at the very least). The thought that they've been living and driving right by Caylees decaying body for the last 6+ months has to be more than they can bare. Check out this video of the drive from the Anthony home to where the body was found if you havent seen it

How will the Anthonys react? I think Lee disappeared from sight because he either knew or realized the awful truth long ago, and he will keep silent. I hope the discovery of Caylees body and related evidence is the come to Jesus moment Cindy and George needed and that theyll finally come into the reality the rest of the world has been living in and keep silent as well (I hope what Im reading about this second CNN interview isnt true).
I wouldnt be surprised if Cindy turned on Casey at this point.
Will they continue to make money off of this nightmare? Absolutely.
