Crime Scene Investigators return to Anthony Home with Search Warrant #2

[aprilshowers]

When should a memorial be taken down? I agree no definite answer, but traditionally, I would think AFTER a wake and funeral and not before.

I don't know if I could keep living in that house. Not because of the house itself, but having to drive down that street every day forever and knowing Caylee was there alone all this time. That's not something you "forget" with time. If anything, I wish they could see the memorial as an outpouring of love for Caylee, and an expression of sorrow for their loss, and not an indictment of KC.

I bolded the part of your post that I agree with. It IS an outpouring of love for Caylee and expression of our sorrow that she is gone. I truly believe all of those flowers, animals, etc. are for US to grieve and say goodbye, WHY would they not want that? It's just crazy to me.

Ahhhhhh Friday, you are my cause for upturned corners of the mouth - today and most days!! You always post what I am thinking but am unable to type out - :blowkiss: I love it!

It's so nice to feel appreciated. :blowkiss:

Maybe I'm just a dumb-A country girl and not seeing things right. But I fail to see in the light of recent events why removing a memorial on "someone else's property" would be of such utmost importance to these people.

Don't they have enough to worry about what with a possible upcoming indictment, a daughter charged with murdering her child, etc.???

They seem to be showing me every indication that they are refusing any kind of memorial for this beautiful little angel that left us so soon.

They may choose not to honor little Caylee's passing in any way but the public needs this in order to greive, move on.

Why? Why are they so mean? Can't they be charged for removing items off a property now owned by them without permission?

I personally would love to contribute to this memorial and let part of my heart begin to heal a little.

Absolutely agree with you 100%!!!

Agree! I don't get why they are even getting involved with this, they could not be bothered looking for Caylee. They were way to busy causing distractions and flitting all over the Country for interviews. So what is the big deal with the memorial, why are they inserting themselves into this. Seems to me they have way nore important things to think about than taking down a memorial afor their granddaughter. I gotta tell you these people are just plain weird!

You know, Tis -- This is one of the huge, huge things that bothers me about Cindy. Her not searching.

My first memory of seeing her on TV was that she was all about everyone going out to search for Caylee. But she was saying it in an almost bullish way. She was mean to the interviewer and aggressive. And I mean this was the first time I ever saw her -- and I had to tell myself to put myself in her place and excuse her for the way she was presenting herself. (But by the Grace of God, there go I.) But then it kept getting worse.

Her best "cameo" was when she told us that she would walk door to door searching for Caylee until she found her and we should all do the same. Along came the second admonition when she told us to stop criticising Casey or her or the whole family (I don't remember exactly) and just get out there and search.

And to think they found Caylee not 20 houses down from her own front door. I don't like myself for feeling as little sympathy for her as I do. It makes me disappointed in both of us.

In my local area a teenager was recently killed in a traffic accident. His family and friends erected a make-shift memorial at the site only to have the property owner shovel everything into trash bags and turn them over to the family. This act was very painful for them and the community. I understand that this is a very difficult time, yet it seems rather soon since official confirmation of the remains was not 48 hrs ago.

 

[RR0004]

Curious about something, and anyone can answer. How long would anyone have expected for them to have those "memorials" left there? If they wanted to keep them, what happens when it rains?

This just alludes to my prior post - my bet is that this gentleman will preserve the written materials and will donate the other material objects to charity. It's their grandchild: if that's what they wish to do, IMO, I can understand it.

I can agree with that, down the road that is. I do think it's a bit inappropriate to be stating it right now. Once again, TMI IMO.

First, NO you are not dumb. ITA

Second, since I'm not there - today when I went shopping I went to the Savlation Army bellringer, as I was putting the money in the kettle the bellringer thanked me and I told her "I'm doing this in memory of Caylee Anthony". The lady nodded her head and thanked me again. I plan on doing this every time I go out until Christmas.

Plus, if I was any closer I do have a temporary canopy that I would definitely go put up over that memorial (and I don't care if I get it back) - but wait, the A's have one of those - they used it at the Publix parking lot. Wow - I just can't believe how uncaring and amoral these people are.

I can see trouble brewing if someone goes out there tomorrow and tries to remove it. Such a shame when the main reason it's there is to honor and remember that sweet little angel. I hope the property owner or LE steps in before it gets ugly.

 

[TxRose]

Did the A's already remove the memorial...or did the attorney just say they will remove it?

 

[nomoresorrow]

"Casey will consume our lives with conflict" (statement given A's att. on their behalf)

"The "A" family will consume our entire nation with conflict at any opportunity and by any means or method that they can" (statement by me!)

I'm beginning to wonder if CA isn't addicted in some way to confict...? Is it the air that she breaths, the blood that runs thru her veins? Perhaps quiet reflection = death to her...

 

[drip~drop]

I really should be careful how I project my "electric" personality on here. LOL

heck, i've agreed with every word you've said on this thread.

:crazy::woohoo:

 

[IRule254]

No the house is no longer being searched tonite. it was an "in" and "out" thing that took all but 2 hours! Which means they knew what they were going for got it and left.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[Boots-OK]

Yes, they do. However, I never expected they would accept that Caylee's remains were Caylee's remains.

So far in less than 10 days, they've had their worst fears confirmed, their granddaughter has been found dead less than 1/4 mile from their home, been tackled by allegations of misconduct (obstruction, lying, lack of cooperation with LE, etc) and at least 3 search warrants executed in their home. No doubt that some of these things they have, in an indirect fashion, perhaps brought about for themselves. Ultimately though, the direct responsibility for this lies with their daughter.

I'm sorry - I'm a little more focused on the latter rather than the former.

No need to be sorry - I believe most of us are more focused on the evil doings of their daughter; however, the Anthonys - CA in particular - have worked diligently to keep themselves in the spotlight.

A lot of their suffering is not as a result of something they did in an indirect fashion - Cindy's behavior has continued to be deliberate and with complete and total disregard for her granddaughter. IMO

Most people who end up in therapy find out that their anger is just more comfortable to them then feeling the pain, not productive, but more comfortable.

Does anyone remember when alot of posters sent Flowers for Laci Peterson and filled that boat up..It was awesome an I know when I sent a wreath it made me feel closeness to her an Conner.

I just think in this case it is a way for people to do something to say "We will never Forget you Caylee.."

 

[nomoresorrow]

It would be nice if someone who lived on the adjoining property would offer up their area as a memorial, just for a couple weeks. I would do that if I lived there - in a heartbeat.

 

[TxRose]

The memorial? Anyone? Has it already been torn down? Because I could read the statement by their attorney as meaning they plan to donate the items to charity WHEN they take it down. Which is exactly what people on this website have been yelling at them to do all along with things left on their property. Now that they say they are doing that....everyone is still complaining. I would like to know whether it has been torn down already - in which case I would agree that it was probably too soon.

 

[RR0004]

...and definitely not talking about it the SAME day the site was cleared. My G-d, let this poor child be memorialized for at least one day without saying ANYTHING!

There has been lots of discussion about when there was water in the area where Caylee was found.
I hope it's OK to talk about Gale StJohn. This is not concerning her "abilities".

I just watched the video of her driving on Suburban. The video is dated 8-11-2008. As she got to (or near) the area where Caylee was found, a woman got out of the van with her dog (search, cadaver?). The woman states at 4:38 in the video that "you can only go so far, and then its water". Shes not very far off the road. So if that video is dated correctly, I guess that confirms there was water there even before tropical storm Faye came in.

The link is on page 2 of the Caylee threads > "Video of Caylee location being searched back in August" . The thread is locked, so I couldn't post there.

ps to a moderator--if GStJ is off limits, please let me know.

This was addressed on another thread. The area is very large and Gail was quite a bit away from the site where the meter reader said he saw the bag. It had rained very little in the preceding 10 days, so most of the area was dry.
There are pictures 91,92,93,94 that show dry areas. Gail shouldn't have dismissed the area out of hand.

I don't know the family, but I live in Orlando, near their side of town. While I don't know them, I think it's much easier to think what we'd do if we were in their situation. Sometimes things are easier said than done. I don't know how I'd react if I had to walk out of my house everyday and see flowers and balloons and toys honoring a family member.

Remember, they've believed for the past 6 months that their granddaughter was still alive. And they went on many national shows stating such - even as recently as the day before the remains were found (Larry King).

I can only speak for myself -and in a weird and sad way, I think I'd be really angry if I walked out of my house and saw such a tribute. I'd be angry that I was deceived for so long; that I went to national outlets and told the world that I believed my precious family member was in fact, alive - and then to see the tributes - it would feel like the biggest slap in the face, like: how could we have been so naive .......

I think they are hurting and they don't know what to believe or who to trust or even what to think. Despite what anybody thinks about their daughter and her behavior, G & C should be allowed to grieve in peace.

Just my 2 cents.

On the 11pm wesh Orlando news, just reporting:

"Skip Davis", a free-lance producer working for the Anthony's was interviewed at the memorial.

He stated he will be removing it, I believe tomorrow.

This cause a heated exchange between mourners and the man, Skip Davis, who said he was going to remove it, on behalf of the family.

Part of the heated exchange was also captured on camera and aired about 2 minutes ago.


What I originally posted on the matter was reported by Patrick Pagues, of Fox Orlando on the 10pm news. No one was interviewed in that segment as it was info passed on by the reporter.

I hope this is sufficient context. It's really all I have at this point.:blowkiss:

My opinion is that at a point in time when mourners are still leaving items at the memorial, it is premature to take it down.

Maybe a human chain around the memorial would stop them .......at least temporarily
