OH, here's another question. Well, two or three.
Jesse Grunde's father stated that Caylee was with them everyday for the first 10 months of her life, I believe.. Why wasn't she with Cindy and George? That doesn't quite fit in with Cindy's story, does it? Did they really have the baby shower after Caylee was born?
I think I may have an answer...could it be the grandparents didn't even know about Caylee until she was 10 months old?! Casey could have hidden her pregnancy--she is very tiny, and many girls who are tiny don't even show until the last couple of months of their pregnancies--and then a relatively easy to conceal "baby bump." .
I, Chris S. contacted RJ Grund via myspace and asked him these questions and I asked if I could post his resonse in webslueth.....here is his exact response......this is how he sent it back--with one of my questions on top------
WOULD YOU MIND TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER? IF I CAN POST YOUR ANSWERS PLEASE LET ME KNOW--I WOULD POST THEM IN WEBSLUETH NOT MY BLOG--------OR I WILL KEEP THEM JUST TO MYSELF.
Did Casey collect child support from Grund for those first ten months?
No, because we knew Caylee wasn't Jesse's withing first 8 weeks of her birth. She had no ground for any support nor did she try to get any.
No she didn't live with us. We would never allow that as it would inappropriate but she spent most of her time here but went home at night. Make it clear - I would never allow her to sleep over. She would go home late at night. It was her choice to be here. That seemed to be part of the bone of contention at home with Cindy that she was spending all of her time here mostly with Caylee. It is not a secret from any witness but surely not from us - she did not want to be at home or around her mother. This isn't fiction or an act.
We didn't "support" her but did help buy things for Caylee as we would any child we loved. It was just natural for us to do that but Caylee never seemed to lack for anything. At that time Casey still had a job at Kodak/Colorvision. She was only secretly unemployed for the last month and a half of the engagement. The only time I know of where she got money for bills was the cell phone bill that she ripped Jesse off for - $250. When he confronted her and Cindy about it he was told to consider himself lucky she didn't take more from him. They never made that good or the $550 he laid out for the Paternity Test.
There was a baby shower and both Jesse and his Mom attended. At that time we did not know paternity of Caylee and were following through as if we were family. Needless to say, it didn't matter we consider her family anyway. That has never changed.
Couldn't tell you approximate dates of babysitting. It was throughout that entire time. Sometimes here and there but the last month or so (March and April 2006) two or three times a week and sometimes on weekends when Jesse and Casey had someplace to go. Until then it was Lauren Gibbs and Cindy. And the imaginary Zani - which we now know was Cindy or Casey.
I hope that helps. Let the people there know, if they have a real question, they can give it to you to ask me. Do not harass my family or friends or secretly cut and paste from my blogs. I have never hidden anything and have answered any question asked of me.
