Littlebitty, I hope that you recover soon, my prayers are with you.
As for George...I don't believe he held any real significant position within the Sheriff's Dept back in Ohio, certainly NOT a homicide Detective. No way, no how. His record of off and on employment, questionable integrity leads me to believe something happened in Ohio that lead to his separation from LE. Just an opinion.
I don't believe George had a part in the death of Caylee. I think that was ALL Casey's doing, from start to finish, to include the disposal. I do think George knew something on the 24th of June, I believe he did smell the odor of decomposiition on the 24th, when he confronted Casey about the gas cans. I don't know for sure what he did with that knowledge after Casey drove off, but I think he tossed it around in his mind for days, and I do think he might have told Cindy, when IDK. I don't think he told her that it was without question the smell of decomp, but rather that he thought it smelled weird, could be, might be, but I don't think he gave the info to his wife as a matter of fact finding. I believe they both, C & G, had an idea, a slight thought, in the back of their mind, before the end of June that something MAY have happened...I believed they also spent a lot of time trying to replace those thoughts with reassurance that all was well...
I don't like the fact that George doesn't call 911 at the tow lot, I don't like the fact that he goes to work after finding this car that smelled like death...even he admits that he was hoping a deceased Caylee was not in the trunk, yet he doesn't call the cops, he goes to work after he drives car, which smells like death, home. First day on the job or not, that is NOT the time to go to work, IMO.
Cindy goes back to work telling co-workers about the smell in the car, she used the words "smelled like there was a dead body in there". Co-workers try to get Cindy to call the police at work, but she says no "I'm going to give Casey a chance to EXPLAIN". Explain what, the smell of death in her trunk and the fact that she hasn't seen or heard from her Granddaughter in a month ? At this point Cindy KNOWS Casey is allright, but her Granddaughter could be dead...but still she needs to give Casey a chance to explain.
George tells LE in several interviews exactly what the smell in the trunk reminded him of...decomposition. How George, knowing these statements are on tape and have been disseminated worldwide, can say that now he realizes it was the smell of food in Casey's trunk, is way beyond my comprehension. All you have to do is put a tape in and push play to prove that his statements are lies, but that doesn't seem to matter to him... when Cindy is near. You can do the same with Cindy, but it doesnt seem to matter to her either. I have no clue as to what kind of advice they are getting from their atty, but if it's good advice, they aren't following it. I think I went OT...sorry for drifting.
