Here We Go Again: Finding Caylee Anthony

By Meri Ulrich
Sept. 18, 2008

Unlike the Natalee Holloway investigation, I have absolutely no involvement in finding Caylee Anthony. I have no inside information, only a personal opinion.
 
I won't rehash the many lies told by Casey Anthony or her mother's apparent delusional, inconsistent behavior either. I will state my opinions regarding this horribly sad and frustrating case.
 
The police investigating this case must all be suffering from battle fatigue. Casey has led them down a path akin to falling down the rabbit hole in Alice In Wonderland. Casey's attorney (?) has demanded that all processing of evidence be stopped which is a ridiculous request since his client hasn't been charged with the death of the child which gives him absolutely no standing in the court's eyes at this time.
 
Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony is either in severe denial or is delusional. She enabled her daughter to steal, lie and cheat for many years and now she continues to do more of the same. If you look up- the words dysfunctional family in the dictionary I suspect that you will find a picture of Cindy and Casey Anthony.
 
How can the grandparents have doubts as to the merits of the evidence that the forensic labs have brought froth or that the police investigation is incomplete or bogus? Their own daughter is the ONLY one responsible for the stalemate that appears to have been reached at this point in the investigation. The police continue to pursue every credible lead and have been taken in so many wrong-headed directions that their heads must be spinning.
 
We are now seeing Leonard Padilla, the self proclaimed "Bounty Hunter" appearing on various news shows as a credible talking head...WTF???? This is the man who originally put up the bond for Casey and insisted that he alone would solve the case within a week of her release. He has changed his story as many times as Casey and Cindy have. He has stated that he never actually spoke to Casey (other than a nod of her head and recognition that he bailed her out), and now he claims to have had conversations with her and her family on a regular basis. Which is it Leonard? Did she ignore you and retreat to her room to play on her computer or did she talk to you? I doubt the latter. This man has helped to blur the real investigation and probably the slim to none chance that Casey would ever tell the truth regarding her daughter. Now he is a legitimate guest on many shows and his word is taken as gospel.
 
It makes me wonder about the true motives of the stars of the shows (Greta and Nancy in particular) who go to him for information that at the very least is highly suspect. It appears to me that he makes up a sound bite for every occasion and that he is always ready to supply them with something new to drive the ratings and make the case more interesting. After all, he has to recoup something for putting up $50,000 for a lying, sociopathic girl.
 
There is nothing simple about this case other than the fact that the evidence that has been brought forth thus far is damning and indicates that the child is deceased. Her mother appears to be the prime suspect and she has implicated herself without help from anyone else. Her own mother (Cindy) makes her look even more guilty by back-tracking and making ridiculous statements on behalf of her daughter. It was a"rotting pizza covered in maggots" rather than a decomposing body,"There was no smell whatsoever in the car", "It smells like there was a dead body in the damn car" and on and on it goes. Come on Cindy, even you know that you sound like an idiot.
 
The Anthony's are not laymen; Cindy is a registered nurse and George is a retired cop...they have experience and knowledge that the average person doesn't have. They also have lived with their thieving, lying daughter for all of her life and they know what she is capable of. They have allowed her to bully their family and hold them hostage with her daughter as bait.
 
Enough of this garbage. I don't see any merit in talking to the Anthony family and I don't see any point to the many protestors outside their home who are wreaking havoc on their neighbors with the nose, shouting and fighting. Curiosity is one thing but involving yourself in something that you cannot change is another. Go home and get a life and let the police investigate.
 
I do not believe that Casey Anthony will break her silence or tell the truth about her daughter. I do not believe that she is capable of having enough empathy or remorse to put an end to this farce. I also do not believe that her parents will stop defending the indefensible so what is the point of the vigil outside their home?
 
If Caylee is dead and out in the elements it is unlikely that a cause of death will be established if she is ever found. This case will come down to circumstantial forensic evidence which does not lie. It will come down to whether or not a jury believes what Casey Anthony puts forth as her defense when and if they ever charge her with something more serious than child neglect or economic crimes.  
 
I believe that the charges will come at some point and that they will most likely be manslaughter since thus far there is no evidence of homicide. They will probably get a conviction on that charge and may possibly be able to up the charge to homicide or negligent homicide if something or someone else comes forth with better evidence and some grain of truth regarding what actually happened to that little girl.
 
This is NOT Aruba so I have confidence that someday there will be justice for Caylee Anthony. I too would love to see her come home alive but at this point I have to believe what some VERY reputable labs have produced. What they have produced is NOT a rotten pizza.
 
I felt a lot of sympathy for the grandparents of Caylee until I realized that the mother (and possibly the father) are complicit in creating the empty vessel who is their daughter. Had they done something about her behavior a long time ago this little child might still be alive today.
 
The only thing rotten in this case is what is going on in the Anthony household among the people who live there.
