Video: Interview with Cindy and George Anthony Today

[okiedokietoo]

Oh course my posts are speculation and opinions. I however am not making derogatory comments about the A's and stating them as if they were facts.
I see them changing theirs stories and REACHING. Reaching for anything that will keep the hope that Caylee IS alive and has not been ripped from their lives forever. Like I said, I do think they have made "mistakes". I am however a compassionate person and my heart just breaks for ALL of Caseys victims, including her parents and brother.

okie dokie I really think that most people on WS are compassionate. I agree with you - they are reaching for anything that will keep the hope that Caylee is alive. As they should and as anyone would. IMO Changing stories to make KC look better, as a person, as a mother, has nothing to do with grieving and keeping hope that Caylee is alive.
I am a Grandmother, I would hold on to hope until the end of time if I couldn't find my Granddaughter. But like I said IMO when CA goes from "she's a sociopath to she's a good mother" and "dead body in the car" to "pizza" and "rank" smell - I will comment on how the stories change because IMO the changes have nothing to do with grieving or Hope or finding Caylee. The changing stories only benefit KC.

do any of you guys know this MB? is she a bad person ?.. i think the anthonys may be mixed up with a wrong person .i get a hinky meter going when i see that name and i went to her site .. something about her is off ..

My question is who's paying her? Have the Ms resurfaced yet?

 

[RR0004]

I believe there is one on the west coast, but I think there's also a "branch" on the east coast of Florida (Ft. Lauderdale/ Palm Beach area), and that's the one she runs or works out of. KFN and NLH are affiliated with each other. M Bart will be along for the ride as long as she agrees with whatever the A's are saying, and as long as she can get them to go along with Caylee being alive, the more money KFN & NLH can pull in.

Shar... I know that KFN and NLHF have both been involved in events...but have you found a connection between the two. Just curious? TIA

I didn't read all the responses here yet, but will do so after posting my thoughts.

I am so blown away that the Anthony family and this Michelle are willing to repeatedly cite the Elizabeth Smart case, but it's so apparent that they don't have even the basics of the case down pat. For starters, LE NEVER charged anyone with her murder for the little old reason that they had NO evidence pointing to the fact that she was dead. Cindy also stated yesterday that police did, this, that, or the other, and that's how Elizabeth was found. The truth of the matter is, the family wanted to release some photos to the public, but the police were dead set against them doing so. Against LE's judgment, they released the photo anyway, and only then was she found.

So, they are vastly different situations and LE really wasn't the hero in the case.

Then today, Michelle kept stating, she touched things. You can see it. She's touching things. Authorities should get in there ASAP and dust for prints. Well, all I can say is, if this child touched something last week and her prints are still there (not to mention how many other children would have touched the same items), I'm not so sure anyone should EVER take their child to play there. My God, I'd bet my last dollar that everything in that place is cleaned no less than once a day and there is a good likelihood that with little kids, higher traffic areas would probably be cleaned several times a day with paper towels and a glass cleaner if nothing else. If not, it would be so unsanitary that I can't imagine anyone would allow their child to go there.

Sorry, if you're going to get a spokesperson, I think you should get one that has some type of education. This woman is as insane as this family. She has ZERO credibility, IMO. I don't even know how George can keep a straight face when he mentions her and the KFN when he's speaking of those who have given valuable advice. They all come off looking absolutely ridiculous.

 

[PadThaiPrincess]

Who said this about fingerprinting?

Don't tell me.... the same woman who washed the evidence found in Casey's death mobile?

How did she know it couldn't have forensics that could be tied to the 'stranger' who killed her granddaughter?

It was Michelle Bart, the new Anthony spokesperson. She was asking that LE go and fingerprint the playground set since you can see the child in the picture touching the railing edge. For people who spend their days complaining LE does nothing to help, it sure struck me as shady that they didn't release this info as soon as possible so they had the best chance of getting matching prints. I think Cindy and George went along with it because they know they can't set themselves up for a a big rescue moment if someone actually did follow through.

 

[kiki the parrot]

How can you accept a death when you refuse to acknowledge it?

Problem is, they have acknowledged it--CA as well as GA--but then tried to "undo" their stories in order to sacrifice an innocent grandchild for their culpable adult child.

I wouldn't even want to walk a minute in their shoes.

Yes well in that case, I suggest you don't enable, excuse, spare your child from every consequence, while modeling manipulation, teaching deceit, and running their brain for 22 years... and then act surprised when they don't act like a mature, empathic, responsible, moral adult. JMO

(respectfully snipped)
Did they perpetrate any of this? no. They are victims of CASEY, her LIES, and the murder of their grandchild.

Well, to listen to CA, KC is nothing but a blameless victim either. Sorry, but the victimhood and blameshifting has to stop somewhere. And while I have compassion for their loss, I also think that by not acting like a parent for 22 years, CA has played a major supporting role in this tragedy. If only she could stop the blaming long enough to ask herself, and her daughter, the tough questions or spend some time doing honest inventory and some self-examination rather than normalizing and worrying about appearances. JMO

I believe their "heads" know the truth, but their hearts and the love for their grandchild AND child just will not let them give up hope yet. I am not so sure without a body that I would give up either. I think I would feel like I was letting my grandchild down if I just up and quit looking for her. It would be too much for my heart to handle. JMO.

Well as it is they are letting down BOTH their grandchild (by not even cooperating w LE or search efforts to give her as much as a burial) as WELL as their child who btw may soon be facing the death penalty if they don't start acting like parents and help her to confront the truth. JMO

 

[Lanie]

I haven't read this whole thread, so excuse me if I'm repeating. Did anyone catch on this interview, the reporter asks GA if anyone has given him any useful advice. He hesitates, and then I heard a faint whisper 'Kidfinders' and then he says 'Kidfinder's Network....'
Cindy looks real bad in this video.

IMO, this new spokesperson is not very professional. She looked as if she hadn't even run a comb through her hair and she was not dressed for her role as a spokesman in this new job of hers. I think she bears some investigation herself. If she has a successful business out west, how in the world can she fly off on a whim and decide to represent KFN and the Anthonys a world away from where she lives? I wonder how long it will be before she's fired.

ITA. MB sure hasn't made much more of a favorable impression on me than Milstead or KF in general... oy... JMO

 

[littlemisslegal]

anyone notice the photo of the little girl in store had her wearing a butterfly shirt? that is a sign of importance to family-the butterfly.

hard to believe a child who looks like her in a store in fl mall would not attract attention from many-- i would have told the clerks to shut the security doors- not let the child out of sight until police called. the worst thing that could have happened is someone would be embarassed for causing a riot--but if it was truly her no one would blame anyone for closing the mall doors.

the spokeperson looked like she was having a major time not making faces, body language was actually uncomfortable to watch as she looked like a caged person ready to have a panic attack-lol.she looked darn right annoyed and like she was under torture chamber in interview.

cindy looked beyond drugged or sleep deprived. sad for all.

Shar... I know that KFN and NLHF have both been involved in events...but have you found a connection between the two. Just curious? TIA

There was a thread that was started a while back about the donations that were being collected. I think there was a connection made between KFN and NLH if I remember correctly, the thread has since been removed, so I can't be sure about that.

In that KFN thread that was around a couple of days ago, there was something in it about NLH owning a couple of other business', a phone sex/escort service and one of those reduce your interest on your credit cards business places. I'll have to look tomorrow and see if I can go back and find it again.

Cindy looked like she was utterly wasted out of her mind. I am not sure what they have her "on" but it appeared in this interview that she may have had a little too much of whatever it is. They always say the same things: LE isn't helping them, the FBI isn't helping them, they are never going to stop looking. But they never say HOW LE and the FBI are failing them. Is it because they will not look for a live child when they have sufficient evidence to say Caylee IS dead? Is this the failure of which they are guilty? I feel so sorry for them.

Cindy has wasted away literally to nothing. She is skin and bones now and is not looking well at all. It has been 5 months since Caylee disappeared. There has not been ONE credible tip in all that time. Nothing has been turned up in the investigation that has led in the direction of a living and breathing Caylee. Although my heart does break for them and for the horror which is their life now, I am unable to come to terms with why they will not or cannot consider the evidence. They say there IS no evidence, but there MUST be or the OCSO would not issue a statement that Caylee is dead and they will no longer look for her as a "living child".

So what is the answer for these poor broken and shattered people? Where do they go from here, because it is doubtful that even KidFinders will continue to stick with them if they stop receiving donations...Who will support them then? This is so miserable and wrong. It is disgusting that Casey cares so much for her own self that she would DO this to her entire family. She may have killed Caylee quickly, but she is killing her family slowly and with great pain and I see no end in sight.

 

[ThoughtElf]

Those were FBI agents in the interviews released today. One was N. Savage and the other one (out of camera range) was one from Seminole Fl.

TY - very helpful.

Makes more sense now.

 

[cfromcanada]

I couldn't agree with you more! It's a shame that "mitigating circumstances" don't include what she has put her family through. It is like watching a person die from the inside out and it's horrible. CA drives me nuts, no doubt, but no one deserves what KC is putting her parents through.

 

[debs]

Do you know her personally?
How can you say she doubled up on her meds on purpose to appear beaten down?
My GOD their grandchild is missing and by all evidence is dead! How anyone can beat them up over and over again is beyond my comprehension. Have they made mistakes, yes.
Did they perpetrate any of this? no. They are victims of CASEY, her LIES, and the murder of their grandchild.
I just don't understand how people can make statements as facts about the A's, when none of us knows them personally. No one here knows their real personalities pre Caylee disappearing. No one here KNOWS what their marraige is like or the family dynamics. Everything is peoples opinions and speculation.

Thank you for responding. A few things to note: Cindy and George have made themselves quite known to the public through their continued twisted interactions. I have not invited myself into their tragedy. They did. I can observe and make educated opinions on those observations, and have done so with alacrity and make no apologies to you for doing so. That, however, does not give me license to speak with authority on them personally, and you are correct in saying that I do not know them in that capacity.

I have stated this elsewhere (in yet another opinionated, based on observation post) that stress does NOT create a different person. Stress is a symptom of a traumatic event, and a person draws upon that which gets them through everyday life in an accelerated fashion. We can assume that the lies and the drama and the nastiness toward nearly everyone that doesn't tow their line is this accelerated stress reaction, heightening their normal persona. This is how they deal with life on a regular basis, and frankly, I'm done having MY emotions manipulated just so that they can get their daughter out of trouble because they're afraid of what that will make people think about their parenting. Here's a big clue: I think they were horribly negligent parents. Read Kiki's response to you for that.

If this is all about Caylee as they seem to say as an afterthought every time there is a microphone, then why is it they are NOT using the air time to give us that "evidence" they tease the media and public with constantly? That is manipulation. Must I give them license to manipulate because of the pathos of the situation they are in? No. In fact, the manipulation is a direct CAUSE, not an EFFECT of the situation they are in; the public just was not the beneficiary of this manipulation before Caylee disappeared. As sensational as the story of a missing child, the presumed perp being her mother, and the twisted story as told by the perp herself, what the grandparents have done to assist in this perpetuation of Casey's fraud is HOW THEY HAVE ALWAYS ACTED.

I will not suspend my disbelief because they have had a tragedy. I will not enable them to continue to manipulate me because their situation is not one in which I would wish to find myself. I will not pretend that the lies and nastiness they spew are a symptom of this tragedy. I will continue to assert my opinion that these behaviors are a CAUSE.

I would love to hear the news that Caylee is alive and has been found well and will be returned to the arms of the family that declares their love for her daily. Both of these people refer to the smell of death in their daughter's car. Sampling, as questionable as you want to believe it is, demonstrates that there was a dead body there. They themselves declare this, and then spend months rewriting the story. I am by nature a logical person. I do not have all the facts, and do not profess to hold any such knowledge. Logic, even if horrid truths must be faced, is asked to be abandoned on a regular basis by the Anthony's and several other key players. I refuse.

As long as the senior Anthony's continue to manipulate, obfuscate, lie, distort, beleaguer the point, drag innocent children into their drama before verifying information, and generally attacking everyone else BUT their daughter because they're frustrated by her unpardonable unwillingness to clear up the tragedy surrounding the events of Caylee's disappearance and so feel they should project that on people who earnestly want to help find her, alive or dead, I'll continue to state that I see that manipulation, et al.

I will respectfully allow you to carry on as you see fit, engaging your sympathy for people who manipulate that sympathy. It is, after all, how you get through your day.

"GA does this to keep the peace. I have watched it all of my life with my father, even when my mother was extremely wrong and it hurt him to follow through with her"

I too watched this all my life with my father and my mother. God rest his soul. He was a lovely man, but he COULD NOT stand up to my mother - ever! He was afraid of her wrath. And I also think it was his way of "showing his love" for her.

GA will not cross Cindy. Ever.

ITA...George has proven to all who watched that he realizes he has to accept the facts...he has stated this to LE. He was clear of mind. This erratic, argumentative and sniping behavior from GA that we have all witnessed has been done out of a"love"and a need to protect Cindy....GA has a huge need to be needed. CA is lucky to have him by her side.

It seems in watching these two, they do this...one is fighting, the other is protecting, then they reverse it. If GA sunk into obvious depression right now, she would "snap" out of it to handle the situation.

Many nurses I know come from dysfunctional families and are always trying to help and make the situation better, which is what led them into nursing. CA fits the profile. As a contoller though, she runs into problems in her personal life. Controllers are anxiety-prone individuals and notorias for not taking meds because they "feel" they should be able to handle the matter w/o help. Many controllers are extremely sensitive to meds.

The video today, if not an exhibition of histrionic behavior, looked like she was medicated.

 

[maconrich]

I couldn't agree with you more! It's a shame that "mitigating circumstances" don't include what she has put her family through. It is like watching a person die from the inside out and it's horrible. CA drives me nuts, no doubt, but no one deserves what KC is putting her parents through.

I hate to even think this, but I honestly don't believe it's bothering her one bit to be putting her parents thru this, and I can't help but wonder if she'd welcome something happening to them so they wouldn't be able to testify at her trial.

 

[Whisperer]

WoW debs.....great post! I missed yours, I must have been typing at the same time as you...lol

One thing that clearly stands out to me occured during the taped interview with GA, and separately with CA. They both expressed how angry they were with Jesse for being in the bedroom at 11:00pm and watching TV with Caylee and kc....in fact, they were furious to find the three of them snuggled up in bed watching TV. G & C were adament about this rules????? Only rule I ever heard. It was also obvious the if kc knew about it, she was breaking it!

Not once did either of these two EVER say that kc was wrong for having Jesse in the room. Both, GA and CA threw Jesse under the proverbial bus.....and have never forgiven him for this.

George was told to go home and Cindy would handle it....things have never been good for Jesse and Cindy since. Reminds me of this event..George is told to go to work and Cindy will deal with it...this pattern keeps repeating itself and most likely went on for years.

George appears to have a better handle on reality than his wife. On the LE quiz, Ga rated kc very low on the responsibilty part....Cindy rated her very high and also very high on dependabilty??

Thus, the reason for my signature....
