People Magazine - Caylee Anthony's Family Secrets

[Rumpole]

I am kinda confused that People has reported the blanket and toy horse has been link back to the A's house. Did I missed something in discovery ?? I thought that the tests have not came back yet. Where did People mag. get this information. Or did i not hear right???

These things are not in the discovery we have seen. They seem to be made up, then spread as rumours. By "People" or NG
Unfortunately once something is said it then gets quoted as fact.

We have some statements from the article here, but they aren't attributed to anyone.

My favorite is: A stainless steel knife was also found in the trash bag with Caylee's remains.

I do not understand your signature. We found 3 knives yesterday, and today somebody suggested a fourth?

It was actually a machete that was originally found in the Pontiac. Cindy immediately removed it from the car and buried it 9" below the disturbed soil near the pool.

Noe you not following NG properly.

Tot Mom Mom had her fingers crossed so that CSI wouldn't bring metal detectors. The machete is still there.

I think most people don't see how it is working for them. Their granddaughter is dead, their daughter will probably never walk out into the free world again, and George is suicidal/under observation. Most marriages that go through a crisis of this magnitude come undone.

More-so if it was as bad a relationship as Cindy's own mother says it has been for several years.

That's where your wrong. LP threw it in the Little Econ river at JBP.

I think most people don't see how it is working for them. Their granddaughter is dead, their daughter will probably never walk out into the free world again, and George is suicidal/under observation. Most marriages that go through a crisis of this magnitude come undone.

Is the opposite of undone "done" or is it "done up"? In any case, this crisis did not fracture the Anthony marriage. Like everything else about the Anthony family, it has sadly pinned their life down onto the glass slide on the microscope of public inspection and shone light onto the cracks and flaws and every other little tiny fissure they hoped to keep out of the public eye while they practiced the "fake it til you make it" philosophy of many couples around the country who have the luxury of keeping it private. What we see are those fractures and the tenuous hold that they have all had on the illusion of their family, and all that happened before they invited the world to watch.

While Casey's behavior was the precipitating factor for bringing this whole lifestyle of the Anthony's up, it is the Anthony's themselves who have chosen to make it a public spectacle. They have surrounded themselves with people whose motives are questionable, whose goals are to exploit them as long as possible, and who by necessity will never have their best interests at heart, and have pushed away those people who truly truly did.

Whatever their reasons for continuing selling tee shirts and bracelets of their deceased granddaughter is something they have decided works for them. So I understand "how it is working for them." Whatever their reasons for having decided to confront the people on their front lawn or drive to Blanchard Park to confront LP, I understand "how it's working for them."

Whatever the reasons they have decided that what they say to LE, reporters, strangers on their front lawn, is on a sliding scale of truth....sometimes sliding right off that scale....I understand "how it's working for them."

Whatever the reasons that George determined that leaving his wife to worry about him for hours until he is taken to a hospital, reaching out to people with messages of ending his life, I assure you most heartily, I understand "how it's working for them."

But what I do not understand about "how it's working for them" is how they can do any one of these things and expect people to constantly give them leeway to "grieve in their own way." Because each and every one of these ways is done in the public eye. And now People Magazine, that paragon of ......um, journalism.....has found people who are willing to talk about the Anthony's. We can speculate that People contacted the Anthony's directly and NOTHING in the past 7 months would indicate that it would be an outrageous supposition. We can point to Cindy's brother, or indeed anyone in this twisted tale of family and we could probably be right 75% of the time.

"How it's working for them" has been quite a tale they've been telling.

I heard that is where Hoffa is, too. Thus, the bead cross.

I just have such a hard time wrapping my head around the possibility of them knowing that Caylee was dead before making the 911 call. I've seen this mentioned so many times here, and it just makes no sense to me at all. If they knew she was dead, and they were willing to play a part in covering it up, why would they even report her missing. They could have never said a word about it and really gotten Casey off the hook. Cindy could have told her co-workers and her parents that Casey had to move out of town for her fabulous job and that would explain Caylee's absence to them, if they even asked. Same with GA's family. Or, they could've even said that Caylee was adopted, or something. I haven't gotten the sense that the Anthonys have too many very close friends or family members. Seriously, the only person who suspected that Casey didn't work was George, and she hasn't worked in over 2 years! And even he didn't know for sure. I just don't think alot of people paid attention too closely to them. I don't know, but it certainly seems easier to make up a story like this and stick to it, rather than getting the police involved in this whole kidnapping nanny story that Casey told, if all they really wanted to do is cover up for Casey. So, until they admit they knew all along, I can't help but believe they did not know she was dead, at least when it was first reported.

Perhaps, in Cindy's anger of the moment, when KC wouldn't take her to Caylee, she did the ultimate revenge on KC. Called 911, thinking that would fix KC, and not thinking that it would go so far as it has, with KC in jail. It seems like everything was really escalating between CA and KC and Cindy knew something had happened to Caylee, but in her extreme rage with KC, she made that call. I don't know if this is the way it happened, but I do think that Cindy knew Caylee was dead before any calls were made to 911. JMO

I'm not sure I'd call it funny, but it's not any different than what people do to the A's on a regular basis - for example, accusing them of profiting from the (now canceled) sale of the Caylee dolls. Rick has made it very clear in the past that he is not the least bit reluctant to air his sister's dirty laundry, why wouldn't he be the first one suspected of being the 'source'?

Chilly, I have read the article and the only quotes assigned to Rick were those that were in the emails between him and Cindy. He had nothing to do with this article.

Since it seems that the Anthony's have few friends except for their new ones from Kidfinders, a new to them minister, and a couple of PIs, my educated guess for the source is a neighbor. I'm sure many of the neighbors were more than happy to give their honest opinion of the interaction between CA and GA. I know I wouldn't want to live anywhere near CA.

Naw...we've got him up here. He's buried under the Silver Dome.

I completely agree with this post. Additionally, I think it's wrong that so many people seem to be wishing that George, for his own sake, does not stay with Cindy. He obviously loves Cindy very much, why would anyone want him to be even more unhappy than he already is? Hasn't he lost enough?

I truly do not think that George so much "loves" Cindy. More like he has been belittled and torn down for years by CA, KC and LA, that he has lost himself and it's more a dependency on Cindy than love. She has broken him down until he believes that he is a failure and no one else would want or need him. I feel very sorry for George and I hope he can realize that he is better off far, far away from the toxic influence of Cindy.

 

[mitzi]

Yes...I would like to know...haven't been able to get this issue yet. I was disappointed how this thread turned to Rick. Do we have any actual quotes from the article?

Patty, all the quotes from Rick were taken from the emails between him and Cindy...nothing more. Personally, I would appreciate a brother who in a succession of emails, tried to get me to get my head out of the sand and open my eyes to the truth about my daughter. 'Course I didn't spend the last 22 years enabling my daughter and letting her get away with anything, without consequences.

 

[miabellamoure]

Shame on People magazine and their unnamed but no doubt handsomely paid "source". What purpose does this article serve other than to kick George when he's already down?

Ummm...how about shame on KC for there lies the root of GA's pain!

hmm if he is such a good family member then why is he profiting off of caylees death ? cuz basically that is what he is doing too .. he shouldve given any and all info to the police for free ..

First, you're assuming along with many others as to "who" the unnamed source is and Secondly, you're assuming (again) that one, this unnamed source has profited from People...which you do not know for fact & Thirdly, you claim that this unnamed source has not cooperated with LE!?!?!

All I can say is WOW...

 

[mikeysmommom]

I think five minutes with the Anthonys would be enough to know what is going on.

I would bet that what looks like it came from RP in the article, has really been gotten from the documents. In addition, it could be a friend or a neighbor who stated the part about CA berating GA in front of people.

CA started the whole media frenzy by going on various shows beginning with Greta where she feigned that she was "so tired and going on little sleep, and please, Greta, don't ask me anything except about Caylee, or I will collapse on your show." Puleeze!

Funny how we watch the same shows read the same documents but have totally different opionions. I watched a woman who was exhausted trying to get her granddaughter s picture out to the public.She did not want anything to get in the way of people looking for Caylee.She even said in one interview with the police she did not care KC was in jail she just wanted Caylee back.She knew her daughter stole money,she knew her daughter lied but she did not know her daughter would kill her granddaughter.If she really wanted to help KC instead of wanting the truth about where Caylee was she never would have picked up that phone.JMO but I am entitled to it.

Wow we really see things so differently. I total disagree

KC is the root of all the Anthonys pain IMO,but shame on those who buy anything that makes a profit from the horrible murder of a child.I rather send my money to TES.JMO
