If I Could Ask Cindy, George & Lee a Few Questions

[Saffron]

(I'm just going by excerpts of the tapes I heard on NG tonight.)

I wish the detective would have gotten quiet for a minute or two, and then said, "Okay, I've got a fresh sheet of paper and I'm going to write this down. I want you to take me through each of the 31 days when you say you looked for Caylee yourself, and tell me, beginning with the first morning you woke up after she was gone, what exactly you did, day by day, to try to find her. Let's begin with the first morning. After you woke up, you..." and then he would have looked at her, pen in hand, waiting for her answer.

It's water over the dam now, but sometimes I think it might have been helpful to have a female ocso investigator question Casey. I think by our nature women ask more questions, are more tuned in to what questions should be asked, and could sense the nonsense in Casey's answers. I am not trying to stereo-type women, nor am I criticizing ocso. I'm just sayin...

What medicine have you been taking to cope with this situation.
Have you been taking it with alcohol?

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I would ask Cindy when she is going to wake up and accept the facts. As the mother of a liar, I can tell her that she must do that for her own well being. I would ask her if she really cares about Caylee. If so, how can you accept what Casey says when you know she lies. Are you really looking for Caylee? Do you really believe she's alive? Why do you continue to shield Casey? Why do you continue to confront the protestors?

 

[Short_Stuff]

I wouldnt ask Cindy anything, I would give her advice to use tough love on her daughter and let her learn and pay for her mistakes. And to seek counseling for all this, because its a horrible nightmare.

Cindy, when I look at you, I see true anguish in what others have called denial. I see a Mother who is blaming herself for the confrontation with Casey which subsequently led to her leaving with Caylee. I see a woman who blames herself so harshly that she cannot forgive herself at any level.

Tough love? Rather than understand the necessity of it, you see your actions in your stance of "tough love" as resulting in Caylee's absence. Cindy, never could anyone have predicted what would happen. It was reasonable to think that Casey would react by controlling your time with Caylee but never could you have foreseen that Caylee would be totally taken from your family. No one could have foretold this.

You need to forgive yourself so that you can stand up for Caylee. In my opinion it is not grief but guilt that has you frozen in disbelief and inaction. This was not a chain reaction you started with the tough love. It is not logical nor reasonable for you to even have a fleeting thought that Casey would react in this manner. You did not know!


Tough love? Now is the time to be consistent with the tough love. It is not the time to coddle and pamper your child who has done the unthinkable. You cannot reward her crimes with special attention and favoritism. She has done unspeakable deeds and you cannot defend nor condone her actions. Tough love? She needs to acknowledge and accept legal repercussions and Cindy, she needs to ask for forgiveness from all of you for the sins against your family. She has brought several to the brink of financial disaster and she needs to somehow make amends.

Caylee? I honestly don't know how your family will be able to cope if she is indeed gone from this world. My suggestion would be prayer and counsel from your spiritual leader. I just can't even begin to comprehend the enormity of this loss. I think it will probably take much prayer and time before you can forgive her and I don't think the forgiveness will come easily. It may be a long journey for all of you.

My prayer is that God will give you peace and that in time you will be able to rely on that peace. The rest of your family needs you now. Although scripture sets man as the head of the household, it generally falls upon the woman to set the emotional tone for the family. Your strength, your faith, your love and eventual forgiveness will become the compass for your family's recovery.

These are things I would share with Cindy or maybe I would just sit beside her in absolute silence...for words really seem inadequate and I'm afraid any questions I might have cannot be answered in grief.

 

[black poodle]

what a great post, there but for the grace of God go I

 

[simonsmom]

I would show her the video of Caylee in her dancing outfit and when it finished I would say "Cindy, you told someone Casey is a sociopath. This was an innocent baby who loved you. Can you tell us where to find her and bring her back to you?"

 

[Jay D]

I would ask Cindy why she is unwilling to take a polygraph.
After listening to her answer, I would point out that her taking a polygraph would go a long way towards gaining public confidence in the Anthonys. And this public confidence would be reflected by more donations, more volunteers and far less problems with the demonstrators at her home.
Don't think I'd ask her much else.

Great post, magiemay. It is nice see the subject of Cindy's issues addressed in respectful way.

I feel that in their grief stricken state, George and Cindy have been completely brainwashed by the story Casey is telling and Baez' support of it. I know this is beginning to sound cliche, but to not believe it is to lose Caylee and Casey both and that may be just too much for their souls to bear. I truly believe that is why they are not seeing the big picture. They need help "into the light", so to speak....Lord help them, they need something.

I really agree with this post. And, I think that as a result, Cindy's answers would be vague or illogical like "It was pizza!" after earlier saying something was very wrong because the child was missing and mom's car smelled like a dead body. I wonder if they will ever accept what has happened? Many of the ardent supporters of their criminal children just cannot do so, like Scott Peterson's mom. It's very frustrating for the rest of the world who see how nonsensical and convoluted these parent's stories become as they try to convince themselves that their kid is not a vicious criminal. But, I can see that the truth might be much, much to hard to bear.

Snipped:

In all the days you had Casey at home, why has a sketch of this Zenida not appeared? If Casey knew this woman for 2 years, why does the media and public not have a description of her to help in the search?

This is a key issue, although the rest of your questions are pretty telling as well. Elizabeth Smart's parents released a sketch of the suspect, on their own, when LE refused to help them. They just did it. And guess what? It led to the rescue of their daughter. It's obvious thyey don't do so because they know no one named ZFG took their grandchild.

 

[Charge Them All]

I would ask Cindy what has changed. Why is Casey more important than Caylee now?

 

[magiemay]

It was almost 3 weeks ago I thought about what I would say to Cindy if I had a chance to sit and maybe sip a cup of coffee and have a simple woman conversation, Since that time so much has gone on the protesters, KC back in jail and then out, the tes search ending just one thing after another.

If at this point after all the fiasco over the past couple of weeks we had that chat I would most likely have to start by asking her, has she had the time to think about any of what is going on, and that as a result of all this circus, the protesters,and the media does she not see Caylee is getting lost in it all.

I would point out to her that not only is Caylee getting lost in this circus but that she is putting herself and her husband in great danger as this goes on, not to mention her neighbors and their children.

I would want her to know that I would be of any help I could possibly be in looking for a solution to all of this, but that there would be a couple of things she could do to make it better, the first being accept that which is so apparent that she is most likely not going to find Caylee alive due to the evidence already released. And as I had a friend tell me one time i will stay with you until you scream it out cry it out whatever it takes and then you have to get up and begin a good fight.

First and above all you have got to stop coddling Casey, then to clear your having any knowledge take this lie detector test so that all the world knows you are not involved ,It is most likely a good idea to then have LE move Kc to another location for your safety and that of your neighbors, and their children. You know Cindy it does not matter if George or Lee take this test you do it for yourself and for Caylee. If nothing else people will at least know whether you think Caylee is alive or you are just coddling KC.

You most likely need to go ahead and tell KC either you give up some answers or you will be moved to a safe house this might move her more than any LE ever was able to do.

But above all you are all Caylee has whether she be alive or not it is up to you now to take charge of some of the things going on right now. In watching you over the past few months I do not think you are a wife nor mother who is controlled by anyone might be wrong but that is my opinion. Now take all of this leadership you appear to have and instead of letting it make you look incapable or a victim get up and get this job complete. Find that baby whatever happened or where ever she is at, You seemed to be more of a mother to her than a grandmother now you have been in this fog long enough ,you just tell Kc that in this situation there are only 2 possible options you are part of the problem or you are part of the solution I think you know which she is as we all do. Now cindy get it done !!!!

 

[skippi]

A. I would ask Cindy why she swore under oath at the bond hearing that she had been in contact with Casey everyday, phone, text message ie.... since Casey took off with Caylee for the 31 days.

B. Yet in the third 911 call, she's ranting that her daughter (Casey) has been missing for a month, and she just found out Caylee's been missing all this time too and kidnapped by the "nanny" according to Casey.

So just to be clear........which one is it Cindy?????? A or B? :sleuth:

 

[Sara Barracuda]

Has this been asked before here or of CA in the past.....?

CA obviously knew something wasn't right when she hadn't seen Caylee in weeks, even blogged about it on Myspace. Confronting KC wasn't getting her anywhere, neither was GA or LA asking about Caylee. I just wonder, and I know hindsight is 20/20, but if she already knew she was angry/upset w/ KC over the c.c., etc., and her suspicions, why didn't she report Caylee missing earlier than 7/15? Like when she blogged on 7/3 'my Caylee is missing'. I just wondered if anyone asked her. I know if it was my mother in CA's situation, she would've been on the phone w/ the OCSO as soon as I wouldn't cooperate or tell her where my child was!

Also, I keep hearing LP refer to the Amscot dumpster on NG as possibly where KC disposed of Caylee's body.... if that was the case, wouldn't the cameras on the Amscot bldg. pick that up or were they not monitored or even worse recorded over?

I'm not sure if LE would have looked into it if Cindy had called. Casey had custody of Caylee and LE might have viewed the situation as a problem between family members.

That is exactly right. As for Casey not cooperating with CA by not telling her where Caylee was, well, legally speaking, she didn't have too tell anyone her whereabouts. Casey is Caylee's mother and didn't have to report back to Cindy or get her permission to go anywhere and stay anywhere as long as she wanted too.

So, LE would have done nothing at that point anyway.

I have also been wondering about the cameras at Amscot. Because it's kind of a bank, they have very good security.

Now about questions...BOY O BOY do I have questions for Cindy! Not that I think she is involved in the disappearance, but the enabling (which she continues to do) makes her culpable. If it were my Mom, I would have been bloody, if I pulled 1/2 the cr@p Casey has. And my Mom was really NICE!

 

[MD MOMMY]

NOT that I'm taking up for anyone but MISSING could mean plenty of things to her when she wrote that...MISSING in the sense that Caylee is NOT at home..I'm sure it COULD be spun many ways by CA..she appears to be a pro at that. Missing to me means just that..missing..can not be found etc. but we all know words to them mean things that we wouldn't even IMAGINE them meaning.

 

[Ginny]

I also believe another reason that CA never reported Caylee missing before 7/15 was because Casey always had an excuse as to where Caylee was and why CA couldn't talk to her.

I think I heard maybe on NG -- I'll have to check for verification -- that the garbage truck that empties the dumpster at Amscot had a GPS and they've checked the landfill where the truck emptied its contents in the window when the car was left at Amscot and they couldn't find anything.
