2008.08.04 George Anthony Interview Audio

[shadow of my mind]

I have been reading the comments about GA referring to Cindy as 'my Wife'.
I never thought about it but I asked my hubby how he refers to me when speaking about me to others and said "my wife". Now unless I am talking to a total stranger I always use his first name. We are exactly the same ages as GA & CA so it may be a generational thing. Hubby says its more of a male thing. Using the word 'wife' means mine. Not so much ownership but more of a pride thing. I'm not just living with or dating this women or having sex I made a commitment and married her.
Don't know if that helps anyone but I really didn't notice it all when I was listening to the audio of GA interview.

I felt that George was more open than Cindy and Lee, IIRC Cindy was interviewed before George and LE questioned Cindy she seemed to not remember Casey taking her truck and George in hot pursuit,and when George was telling/asked about it he told LE the story like it was yesterday. Lee was more descriptive about the gas can incident, while George told the same story without the profanity.

 

[angelmom]

ok angelmom - I'll go with maybe GA didn't talk to CA about it at the time. What I want to know - so very badly - is when and where and how did CA's truck get returned to her? If KC brought it back home - how did she get back to TL's or RM's or wherever she stayed that night? Did KC abandon it at a parking lot and call and tell the GP's where to go get it? I kinda remember saying George saying it was dyatime - but middle of night could be possibility - and someone could have followed KC back to thouse when she brought it back - but wouldn't have GA been sitting there waiting like a spider to pounce on her when she showed back up? Those are questions I want answered pronto! lol

You are right - he said it was 5:30 or quarter to 6 - heavy traffic, so I assumed a weeknight, but that messes up the assumption that it was a Saturday.

I don't know how KC got there or got back, if she did indeed return the car. If it was before she abandoned her own car, maybe it was parked close by but she didn't want to risk driving around with a body/bad smell to Fusian or wherever else she was partying, and she just walked back to wherever she left her car. If it was after...I don't know. GA's original impression was that it was the week of the 23rd, so maybe that was the issue.

I thought I read somewhere that George called Sindy and told her he was chasing KC...

Not exactly. He didn't really say for sure. It was more that Cindy told him not to follow, but it wasn't clear if she was telling him right then or if she had been telling him over time. My impression is that he had been wanting to follow her for awhile and Cindy didn't want him to, but that night when he saw KC leaving in Cindy's car he lost it and just gave chase. He says he was "tired of all these evasions." or something close to that.

So George is not on the bank account, is that normal for a husband to not be on the bank account.

 

[boogiebear]

My Mother and I listened to the audio and both were puzzled by this.
George and Cindy go to pick up the car. It has a horrible smell in it that even causes them to wonder who died or was dead in the back seat(there smells like there has been a dead body in the damn*d car). Still during that taped interview George said that Cindy convinced him to go off to work and she would handle it. A dad, any dad, any father, thinking that there was something dead in the trunk of that car, without knowing about the safety of his daughter, or grand-daughter could be so easily convinced to go to work and let his wife handle this alone????
I am not sure if this was a sign of something disfunction in the family, George not being a decent dad, or that George already knew what had happened. I do know this does not make sense to me, but I am female.
Now you fathers out there, if you smelled something that smelled like the dead bodies you used to find while doing your job as former officer, in your daughter's trunk, would you let your wife handle it?? Or you would stay by her side and work on it together???

(Yes I asked this earlier but no one answered it. I thought it might be because at that time things were hot and furious and I think it got missed or no Fathers were on.)

 

[Elley Mae]

I agree with you, sorry I missed your last post on the subject, But I fell the same way there no no way that my husband would have went to work.

It can be. I'm 39 and my Friends can not believe my husband and I have a joint checking and savings...they tell me we should have our own accounts and one joint checking just for bills...sounds like to much work for me since I handle all the money and all the bill paying..

Well GA says he was livid that CA told him to just go to work and she would handle it..I suppose he went due to it being a brand new job..I think it was like his first or second day..I suppose he expected her to be able to handle things as he says she is a strong willed women in his interview.

 

[Elley Mae]

All I can say is when the spouse dies and their name is not on the account or the house, good luck. It's a PIA when their name is on.

 

[EastSideOfSaddness]

I caught that too, weird.

 

[robotdog]

cindy was the queen of the house - probably a control freak of sorts :banghead:

i love nurses, they are great. but i know a few that seem to take their control status at work which can be a really great thing because they often need to be in charge of things....and that is great at work but trying to take that same type of control stuff and bring it home can be a recipe for disaster. im rambling because maybe she isnt a nurse, but i thought she was but then again there are so many lies by people in this case.. it gets confusing quick.

make no mistake about it - George had "NO SAY" about anything -- -im guessin of course but my guesses are usually close to the truth


no one tells me what to do or say - EVER in my house

thats the way it is.....:crazy:

 

[robotdog]

i have road runner too bright house fl. maybe its just us -lol. i pay for higest speed but it is not worth it-its damm slowwwwww-

i have roadrunner super speed and it happens to me once in awhile

i think its a combination of lots of things.....

:behindbar:behindbar:behindbar

 

[robotdog]

As far as George calling Caylee the little girl...I know it sounds like he may be a bit detached when he refers to her that way. But I don't think he is. My husband has always had pet names for the boys, names you would expect a man to call is sons. They are now almost 27 and 25. Our daughter of course has a more endearing pet name. He has called her Tweety since she was small and if she hears him slip and refer to someone else that way it hurst her. She is now 16.

Since the boys were so much older than our daughter, and they used to be referred to as the boys..."Can you pick up the boys?" "Did you give the boys dinner?" "Have the boys had their bath?" As my daughter got older - instead of saying "Do I need to pick up the baby?" It was "Should I pick up the girl?" It was his term of endearment for her unless he was ralking directly to her.

He now calls our granddaughter, "the little girl". "Do we get the little girl today?" "Is the little girl sleeping?" See, our daughter is still at home, as is George's. His granddaughter also happens to be at his home, ours visits. This was his way of distinguishing between the two. They are still both his girls.

totally agree......

i still call my kids what i called them when they were little

no one tells me what to do

 

[robotdog]

i imagine inside that house it is like a nuclear reactor

one wrong move and the roof will come off

 

[IrishSweetOne]

You are right - he said it was 5:30 or quarter to 6 - heavy traffic, so I assumed a weeknight, but that messes up the assumption that it was a Saturday. OK based on the time then we know George worked 3- 11 Sunday thru Thursday ............I agree regarding traffic, it would more likely be Friday.

We also thou need to consider Cindy's work or vacation schedule into that mix .

From Greta's interview with CA and GA:

GEORGE ANTHONY: And I said, Really? She says, yes. I said, Interesting. And I just said, Hey, by the way, I said, I'm getting ready to rotate your mom's tires on her car. There's a little metal wedge that fits underneath your tires so your car doesn't rock back and forth. And I said, Well, I'd like to have it, so in case you're not here over the weekend, I'd like to be able to do it.

She was hesitant about letting me get in the car. And I said, Well, listen, I got an extra key. I'll just go get it. Well, she was adamant about -- about that.

VAN SUSTEREN: What, not letting you into the car?

GEORGE ANTHONY: Yes, didn't want me to get into the car to get the stuff out. Dad, I'll get it for you. Dad, I'll get it out. I said, It's no problem. I know where it's at. I'll get it, get it out and be done with it.

So as we're walking out through the garage, she's still telling me, Dad, I'll get it. Give me a minute, I'll get it. I said, Casey, I'm capable of reaching inside your car, and I got it. So -- and she opened up the trunk of the car...

CINDY ANTHONY: The gas cans were there.

GEORGE ANTHONY: (INAUDIBLE) The gas cans there. She's the one that took the gas cans.

Just something to think about...How this family operates...Reading this carefully, GA doesn't lie. He just doesn't even get a chance to finish his story. CA does it for him! Interesting to review this now that we've been able to listen to GA's testimony.

Yes, George actually does not lie...he just leaves out the details of the story, which was at Cindy's prompting, by answering FOR him, and then he just agreed that yes, they were there...This seems like George is going to maybe tell the whole story and Cindy is against it and lets him know by answering for him. He allows her to over-ride him in this story, and just finishes up with a minute detail of truth...

I know in George's interview he said VERY emphatically that EVERY DAY WAS STILL HARD, as it was when they were repairing their relationship...he said it was very hard, and it still is, everyday...Maybe Cindy and Casey are hard on George and he is just trying to be a stand-up guy, without standing up to them...an impossible thing to accomplish, thus linking him in to a never-ending cycle of having his wishes over-ridden...Miserable.

 

[GameTheory]

I think that whatever mental issues that Casey suffers from she inherited them from her mother...honestly, especially after hearing George's interview and how he describes his daughters' personality as exactly like that of her mother...There is some issue that they have in common, which has led to their combatitive relationship and also their fierce connection and loyalty...whatever it is, it took a severely adverse turn in Casey...but I am positive from listening to Cindy speak that Casey learned many of her lying tactics from her mother...

Some things I found interesting in Cindy's mother's interview and Cindy's interview.

1. Even Cindy's mother admits that she could not push some issues on Cindy because Cindy would get frustrated. Great-grandmother would ask about the relationship with Casey but could not go into details because then Cindy would get frustrated.

2. In Cindy's interview she admits she did not call her brother for his birthday. Interesting that she remembered it was his birthday but she did not call him. It is not like she forgot his birthday, the date, etc. She KNEW that specific date it was her brother's birthday and she did not call to give her wishes. So it seems there is some trouble in that sibling relationship as well.

3. If you watch Cindy's interview and her interaction with the detectives one thing that is obvious is HOW COMBATIVE she is with them. Even when they hold her hand and smooth talk to her she is fidgeting in her chair, interrupting them, not allowing them to have a logical conversation.

4. Cindy was also very combative and not afraid to use some bad words at the tow yard. I can practically see her towering over the female employee who was trying to show her the dates of the car being towed, when the letter was sent and all that.

I Know this is the George interview discussion thread and I am saying all the above because the above is quite in contrast with how George presented himself both at the tow yard incident and at his interview with LE.

One thing that almost made me cry is when he speaks with so much pride and relief regarding his current employment status. He refers to it as one of the best jobs he had for YEARS, and he seems to feel very proud of how his opinion and worth are valued at his workplace, and even getting big contracts for his company because of his connections and reputation. And the way he says it is like someone who did not feel appreciated or valued at home. Also he appeared as completely the opposite of Casey regarding work ethics. George wanted to be productive, wanted to bring money on the table, and he wanted to work at job that he felt he was good at. And finally he got a good job that made him feel good about himself.

Also I believe Cindy prompting him to quit his LE position as a detective (if we believe Cindy's brother did post online), that whole issue is something of a sour wound for George and Cindy. If it is true, Cindy appears very calculative because years back she was calculating how if George's father was going to pass away they will inherit the family business. She is money oriented? The plan failed and it is my understanding both George's parents are still alive. It must have been a huge life blow for George quiting such a respectable, authoritative, and mind exercising job as a detective only to fail going into his business with his father and having as a result many financial woes and difficulties to find again a good job for years.

BRAVO excellent post.....and pretty much how I feel too. Especially your feelings about GA during his interview, speaking of his employment. I too teared up listening to that part. Poor guy seems so desperate for approval.
