I would really like to commend the Padillas- especially Tony for giving us the opportunity to get to know him and his point of view through this.
I, like many others, was ANGRY when I heard some yahoo from California was gonna bail her out. Those Idiots! I thought!. So I came to Websleuths, and was shocked to see him actually making himself known.
And through his chats- he opened my eyes. Although I could have told you hands down (IMO) that Caylee was dead, before the Padillas came on the scene, I will admit that I gained a glimmer of hope that the sweet little girl was still alive. The belief that there could be some truth through the lies, the kind, honest words of Tony, and the faith of Leonard, convinced me that there was reason to keep hope alive.
I now believe that there is no reason to hope for her to be found alive, but at least keep hope (however small) for her recovery and proper burial.
I believe very faithfully that actions speak louder than words, and both Padillas are men of their word. Their actions show they are honorable men, who- good or bad, they chose to do the right thing, by taking a chance that they could find her alive. As they said, nothing else worked, why not try something new? What a way to live life.
Thank you Tony, and Thank you Leonard.
We all grieve with you.
