The Anthony Family: Who Might be the First to Tell the Truth?

[plastics]

Anyone else think we will never hear from Lee Anthony again?????

 

[Italy]

I think ultimately Lee will tell the story and the telling will truly be what allows him to have a life at peace.

He is bound in some strange "promise" with Casey from which he is unable to extract himself. Time will correct that and the gnawing horror on him that his sister is not only a liar and a thief but has just gotten away with felony murder and the recognition that he aided her in this.

If he had any love or compassion for Caylee, he will man up and tell what happened. It won't bring Caylee back, but the truth will honor her. Right now, he and his parents are honoring her killer.

No good man could live with that burden and I believe he is probably a good man. We shall see.



(Regardless of the ridiculous verdict, the public believes that Casey chloroformed her child and then applied 3 strips of duct tape over her mouth and nose in order to kill her. She left her in the trunk, decomposing, until she could no longer bear the stench. To rid herself of the problem, she wrapped her in a laundry basket, plastic bags and tossed her in a snake infested swamp. She then went partying w/ Tony. If the truth is any less gruesome than that horrible scenario, why would you NOT speak out??)

I don't think any of them will 'fess up to what really happened.

I'm really puzzled by Lee Anthony however. You know that feeling, you just can't put your finger on it.

Which reminds me .... I've always wanted to know about Caylee's name. It's clearly a combination of Casey/Lee. Has there been a discussion on this particular issue? I was thinking the other day that I could imagine that Cindy chose that name. I can visualise that domineering woman making every decision and alternative suggestions are non-negotiable in her mind.

They're an odd bunch. Very strange.

I think she just made up the name Caylee because it sounds kind of Irish and shes into everything Irish for some reason.
Remember Caylee wearing the shirt "Kiss me Im irish?" theyre just so weird. CA seems to be into Japanese stuff from looking at her decor. Im surprised she doesnt have a Koi pond in the back. lol

Casey is the only one the can tell the truth about what happened. I don't think the rest of the family even knows what really happened and I don't see Casey talking so we will NEVER know what happened to Caylee.

 

[Solace]

I
The only person who has a glimpse of the truth is ICA. Depending on her psychological disorder she might have distorted that truth in her own memory. .

And Linda Drane Burdick and Mr. George and Mr. Ashton and George Anthony and most of the free world knows what happened.

Also, the shrink who wrote the book on Peterson is coming out with a book on KC. Forget his name - but it should be out soon.

What happened? I'm pretty clueless at to what exactly happened (how) Caylee died. Everyone has their theories but I dont know anyone that KNOWS what happened.

As the State's attorney said, it is a "dry bones" case and therefore very difficult to determine exactly what happened (forensically speaking).

If you know the charges (unlawful killing; etc) and followed the circumstantial evidence in this case you will know:

The Prosecution postulated:
Caylee is dead
Means was not a suicide
Means was not an innocent accident (no 911 report; chloroform; duct tape; disposal of body)
Casey was caregiver - By her own statements (and that of Lee, her brother), Casey was last person with Caylee (dropped her off at nanny and/or was held by force at park by said nanny and child taken from her

The defense postulated:
It was an accident and gave no explanation for what happened other than that the child drowned -- there was no evidence to support that.

The jury has found her not guilty of an unlawful killing.

That is what is known - the rest is reasonable conjecture.

If anyone "cracks," IMO, it will be GA. That said, they don't need to crack. Every single one of them has for all intents admitted that KC killed Caylee. Will they ever admit to the lies and runarounds they gave to LE… Or attempting to destroy evidence? I doubt it but, again, do they really need to? The entire Anthony media circus charade has been pretty much played out with a knowing wink to its audience. I'm pretty sure they are aware that most everyone is on to them. I think the most we can expect from the Anthony family are more lies and more distraction, but if anyone is going to spill the beans IMO it will be GA.

Great thread and question.

We know it won't be Casey nor Cindy, so that leaves George and Lee. Lee bellowed this weird "promise" to Casey during what was supposed to be, Caylee's memorial, so that puts him out of the running.

That leaves George, and as mentally unstable as he is considering his "suicide attempt", it could go either way with him. Will the REAL George stand up and speak for Caylee, as he once did during the FBI interviews, or will the George-controlled-by-Cindy George remain throughout the trial?

It might depend on how large of a purse Cindy is carrying on any given day.

Promises can be broken. Lee doesn´t owe KC a thing; on the contrary. You can see on Lee´s appearance how this whole mess has taken its toll on him. He was NOT in the courtroom when his sister received her sentence, that is very telling. I think he is in the process of detachhing himself from the destructive, vile sister.
I don´t know if it is true that Lee fondled Casey. She says so - but most of what has come out of her mouth has been LIES, LIES and more LIES. So it is hard to believe anything she says at all.
IF there is one of the Anthonys that could shed SOME light on what went on in that household, and which you could trust being at least close to the truth, it would be from Lee.
I don´t think he knows everything, but he knows something. IF Lee decides to write a tell-all book, I would buy it. Any of the other Anthonys, NO!

I do believe that one of the family will speak out.

Now, the consensus is that Casey killed her child using chloroform followed by duct tape over her mouth and nose in order to suffocate her to death. After death, she wrapped lifeless Caylee in some plastic bags and stored her in the trunk until the child was so putrified that Casey could no longer bear the stench. Cavalierly, she tossed her into a snake infested swampy area and went merrily on to party with Tony. She is a callous baby killer.

I suspect the truth is a bit less horrible and I believe that the family may wish to now have the truth out so that people don't see their daughter/sister as this most disgusting, evil baby killer they now believe her to be. And, by consequence, they would like it known that they were not lying and supporting something this contemptible and evil.

Just my 2 cents worth.

We've heard too many versions of too many stories, so we have to assume that there have been lies told. When the trial comes around, someone might crack. Will it be GA, wracked with guilt? CA, finally throwing up her hands & giving up on her daughter? LA, just wanting to finally get on with a normal life? Could it be KC herself?

Please forgive my total lack of imagination, as I did really steal this idea from another board. Also forgive my use of "fluff" to fill the time between hearings & doc dumps. I really would like to hear opinions about this.

This might have already been said and if so my apologies.

IMO only Casey knows the truth of the how, when, and where and she literally got away with murder by first lying and then staying quiet, so why should she speak now?

Agreed. The only people who know are George, Casey and God. Beyond that, it's all speculation based on how we percieve the evidence and even if one day, someone in the family talks, we won't know if we can believe it 'cause all they do is lie. We will never know what happened to Caylee and that's just sad.

I don't think George knows the truth either. He might know what Casey told him but I doubt that's the truth. Casey and Caylee are the only ones that know what happened that day, one is dead and the other isn't talking.

 

[Leila]

I originally voted that no one would crack and I still believe that. None of the Anthonys will ever tell what happened, and even if one of them did, no one would believe it's the truth.

The best chance at getting any sort of clues as to what happened would likely come from extended family. Cindy's mother, Shirley Plesea or her brother, Rick Plesea, might someday tell what they were told and give some insight into the family dynamics.

We haven't heard from George's parents or sister that live in Florida. As Casey's grandparents and aunt, they were glaringly absent for the past three years. In the very beginning, George's sister helped George hand out fliers on Caylee at a supermarket, but then disappeared from the scene. I'm sure George's parents and sister could offer some insight into the family dynamics, and maybe someday they will.

GA wasn't there when she killed Caylee. I do think he knows she did it and CA and LA know she's guilty as well. CA will however cover for her to the day she dies.

She poisoned her and dumped her.
