Author and owner of Captain Obvious' Crime Site. I have been blogging in one form or another since the days of Fidonet and BBSes in the early nineties. Started blogging in it's current form around 10 years ago and got seriously interested in crime in 2005, about the time Natalee Holloway vanished. I've been hooked ever since.

    I agree 101% with you,
    I pray every day for something to show them that yes,their daughter is a monster,spoiled little brat…….if the family hadnt supported her (i would have disowned her)and given her so much attention when the story broke,i guarantee you she would have spilled the beans by now,
    if nothing else to get the attention……the whole family is guilty in my eyes…..you dont support someone who murders another for no reason let alone their own child,that tramp is as cold as ice,smiling in court,i wonder who the male on the left was that she was obviously flirting with at her bond hearing.
    That shows you she’s used to getting what she wants,and another thing that ticks me off is she said” she got the tattoo meaning beautiful for caylee,yea right?i know if i got one for my daughter it sure as hell wouldn’t be in an intimate spot,id want my daughter and everybody else to see it,we all know who casey thinks is beautiful,i dont even like typing her name let alone use caps to type the c…….she aint worth it.
    Oh and wouldn’t you like to know if the card her invisible sitter filled out had a hyphen in the name,remember she said to lee on the phone when he asked if the # would be on her phone,
    “she stressed’” that the zanny she was talking about always used a hyphen in her name” why would she point that out?…i know!!
    I couldve felt mercy for the family until day one when they told the media,she was a habitual liar,we didnt know that till they told it on the air.and now the people who said it believes every daggone word the trashy thing says,
    I wouldnt give one sec. of my time to help any of them,and then when cindy said to throw out the things ppl donated if it was dirty or had cigarette smoke on it,they should never have said that,very ungrateful like theyre to good !!!and the ppl out of the kindness in their hearts did it for them!!!
    Well,id bet all i own that if money was donated and had been stored in a container with cigarettes they’d have used it for her bond!!!
    Im sick of hearing cindy complain,shes hungry,tired,broke,mad,so be it granny,you deserve everything you get!!!!!!!
    Yes Cayllee will be there for her party,she’ll be the one sitting on a big ole fluffy cloud staring down at them thinking “Why are you celebrating my life,when you are supporting the one who took it!”
    Harsh yes,true yes!!!
    I don’t care to put my name or anything on this!!
    im entitled to my opinion!!Im a grandma and cindy shames the good grannys!!
    which btw reminds me,do any of you recall the 1st call from casey to cindy?? think back and remeber when casey said” you dont know my part in this……..Mom Come on????
    Cindy got all soft and says,no “Sweetheart”
    and she cancelled her visits,she knows what happened and shes afraid casey will say it and now im starting to believe that cindy made that statement,about her being a habitual liar,so now if it comes up,she will say,caseys lying!!
    Shes botched her grandchilds death every day for that slut she raised,i mean who would say to the media the very 1st day,i need help to find my GB and BTW her MOM is a Liar,thats what caused doubt right??
    and cindy whines that nobody is looking for caylee,well hell,if our hearts werent broken we’d forget because all you hear is,my daughters done nothing,shes a gr888 mom,casey says,casey loves,caseys protecting us…………get a grip granny!!!!!!!!!
    Makes me sick! And i bet shes washed the clothes,carpets,walls,and they didnt want anybody to know casey stole the gas,till they got in a corner…….

    FoxNews reported last night that the neighbor who lent Casey the shovel watched her back her car into the garage – something she has never done before. — Wonder why? Was Caylee’s body in the car and she was removing it to bury it OR was she backing in to load Caylee’s body in the car to take it somewhere to bury?

    Also, last night the grandma (Cindy) said that a few nights before Caylee disappeared she (Cindy) and Casey were in the above ground pool in the yard. When they got out of the pool, she specifically remembers taking the pool ladder off the pool and putting it away so that Caylee couldn’t accidentally fall into the pool when they weren’t around.

    She said that she remembers seeing it on the pool again a few days later and the gate open in the yard! My theory is that Casey put the ladder back went inside – wasn’t watching Caylee and the baby fell into the pool and drowned. When Casey found her – she panicked – put her in the house while trying to figure out what to do. (Mom and Dad were on vacation at the time and not in the house).

    The reporter reported that cell phone records show Casey frantically trying to contact her mom, her mom’s cell phone, work phone, her dad’s cell phone, and work phone over and over and over again. However, no one ever answered her calls. Then the calls stopped and weren’t made anymore.

    The cadaver dogs had a few hits in the yard due to the fact that Casey laid the body on the ground when she pulled her out of the pool.

    My theory – she frantically tried to call her parents when she found Caylee in the pool. Didn’t get them and then over the next few days frantically tried to hatch out a scheme to do away with the body. I think the pictures at the club,etc., etc., are a set up to make people think that she is happy, carefree, not worried about Caylee at all. That is just a ruse to throw people off.

    Then she got the shovel, moved Casey to the car, drove around with her for a while, then got the gas cans – burned the body and threw the ashes to the wind. That’s why she isn’t worried. She knows they will never find Caylee’s body.

    The CSI people are collecting evidence inside the house because Casey probably brought Caylee’s body back inside the house while she was trying to decide what to do.

    I think the Grandparents are not guilty of anything, but raising a spoiled brat who has no conscience or feeling for anyone other than herself. It is obvious from the 911 tape that Cindy is extrememly upset, almost hysterical, when Casey told her that Caylee had been missing for 30 days.

    Very tragic and very sad. Sadly, Caylee won’t be at home on earth for her birthday, but she will be celebrating her 3rd birthday in the arms of Jesus surrounded by enormous joy and love. America and the world loves you sweet angel Caylee! God bless you and keep you in his loving arms.

    I live in Orlando about 10 minutes from where the Anthony home is. My friend lives two streets over and told me how to get there. He had been complaining that it can be hard to sleep at night with the helicopters and media.

    So nosy me, I drove over there to check it out. It’s so weird to see it all in person. There were media vans everywhere. Greta was out front, Mark Furman (not sure how you spell his last name). It was quite surreal.

    The grandmother has fed into this media monster by talking so much. She is going thru something I wouldn’t be able to mentally or emotionally handle and she has the media in her driveway. I can’t say how I would act in that situation so I can’t judge. I do feel really bad for the family. Cindy and George are missing their grandkid and their daughter is in jail. No one can imagine the double whammy of helplessness they are feeling.

    It is sick and perverse that I’m on a blog looking at all of this, when if I really wanted to help I would be hanging up posters or volunteering in the tent. I feel awful for the little girl, the family, and the neighbors, but this story is just too intriguing to get away from.

    I will pray for this little girl to be found alive and for her family to have no involvement. But I will still be sleuthing online for more juicy info. I bet I’m not the only one feeling this way.

    Um excuse me?? The only qualification you need to be an RN is stupidity?? Listen here. RN’s are the ones that tend to you when your ass is in a hospital, we pass the medications, we take care of the elderly people left FORGOTTEN by their families. and there is a HELL of a lot of hard work involved.

    I’m in my second year of nursing school right now, and trust me my bank account is pretty sure theres a shit load of qualifications involved in this job. I’ve already spend 32 grand on my two years so far, i give up time with my children for this profession because we help people, without nurses who the hell do you think would be checking you or your children out at the hospital, rushing to give aid, rushing to get a crash cart to save someones life.

    Learn about the profession before you open your mouth and talk bad about it because sweety 60 percent of what you are learning and trained to do in nursing school, you also learn in med school to become a doctor, yea.. we have to learn every bone, every vein, every artery, every muscle in a body, EVERY MEDICATION, THEIR SIDE EFFECTS, THEIR GENERIC COUNTERPARTS, THEIR CHEMICAL MAKEUP THEIR ELEMENTAL MAKEUP, we must learn the various illnesses and the diagnostics of them, what medications cross the blood brain barrier, yea.. shall i continue?? It’s a lot of hard work and the only thing that separates a RN from a PA is one more year of college.. (PA is a physicians assistant, 90 percent of practices use PA’s instead of actual doctors because they can diagnose, treat and prescribe medications).

    Iam a grandmother at 39 years of age, My daughter became a parent at 19 and chose her friends and partying over her own child, and left her son too live with his great grandmother. Due to her decision I went too court against my daughter and helped the great grandmother get guardianship over my grandson whom i have a great relationship with. What im trying too say here is, My daughter was in the wrong and i was NOT gonna stand by her!!! Cindy Anthony knows that Casey is wrong for what she has done and is just as guilty as Casey by helping her with excuses. Ever hear looks can be decieving? All these pictures that they show with Casey and Caylee together smiling makes me want too puke!!!! I think the reason why she has cancelled her visits is because she has told so many lies already she doesn’t even know what the thruth really is anymore and is afraid that her lies are gonna catch up with her because they are taped. I don’t think Casey should be allowed any visitors in the first place, She should be locked up in a dark holding cell, no windows, absolutley no contact with the outside world. It is obvious she is getting tv, since she told her mother on the phone that she saw a certain persons car at the house , that it was just on tv. Everyday that she keeps her mouth shut over Caylee’s whereabouts is another day she should go without food! What about Cindy’s car. Casey stole her car and money and then all of a sudden Caylee comes up missing? How strange is that factor? Come on GRAMMIE fess up, You know alot more than what your letting out. Just a reminder….. YOUR PROTECTING THE WRONG PERSON!!!!!!!! Caylee needs your help NOT your headcase daughter!!!!

    I sobbed my heart out watching Caylee’s video. That child is so beautiful, so precious. All I could think of was my own two-year old daughter. She was just as beautiful and full of life as Caylee, but she is no longer with us, as I believe Caylee isn’t either. But there is a big difference here and that difference is, my family and I would have given ANYTHING, absolutely ANYTHING for our precious baby girl to live!!!! She died of leukemia, but anyone of our family members would have traded places with her in a split second. Anyone of them would have gladly given their life, if it meant that she would have lived. It torn up our whole extended family. The mental and emotional anquish of her death was indescribable. So I ask you, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?? This is not normal!!! I would be screaming, shouting, clawing my way out of that jail cell to find my baby girl! And if the mother is that sick and guilty that she did something to her, I simply can’t believe what’s wrong with the rest of the family. How can they all be that sick?????

  • Jane

    Diane,

    I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can be said to heal your pain. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

    I, too, sobbed while watching Caylee’s video. What a beautiful child with such innocence and delight with life. I hope she is alive somewhere and that someone does have her, but I know the chances are slim. I have a 3-year old granddaughter that I would move heaven and earth for and cannot stand it if I don’t see her several times a week, at least.

    I just can’t fathom this family. They seem so uncaring and cold – almost robot-like. If my granddaugter were missing, I would be out every moment searching for her and pleading for her return. The family just doesn’t seem to be emotionally involved in this at all. They seem to be so removed and almost uninvolved.

    And what is with driving that stupid truck around aimlessly? Can you even believe it? Hey George, the world knows what Caylee looks like – how about you and CIndy getting off your butts and going out searching for her! DUH@!

    As parents we’d all like to think we’d stand behind our children when they’ve made a serious mistake. However, what these parents are doing is insane. Responsible parents would tell her “we love you, but you need to tell the truth now”. Then the parents need to tell the public “We love our daughter, she’s made a serious mistake (whatever it turns out to be, ie accident or murder), but we will stand behind her. As it is, by continuing to stonewall the police they are only enabling her to not take responsibility for her actions and bring peace to the poor little baby who is most likely dead. As a grandmother myself their actions disgust me. I can’t imagine my daughter hurting her daughter, be it accidentally or otherwise, and covering it up. By the same token, I can’t imagine myself helping her to do so. The callousness and sheer heartlessness of these people who profess to love their grandchild so much is beyond imagination. Should it be proven in the future that they are indeed part of a cover up in the death of that precious child, I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It goes without saying that their spoiled brat of a daughter should be locked up forever.

  • Ms. Wilson

    I would like to know a few things?

    1.) Has Casey ever seen a psychologist or psychiatrist?
    2.) Has Casey had psychological problems in the past and was/is she taking any anti-depressants or medications.
    3.) It seems Casey has always been a problem child because the same day her mother Cindy called the police to report Caylee missing she also reported Casey had stolen her car & money 30days proir to the report and wanted someone to arrest Casey. Cindy reported in her 911 call she just found her daughter that had been missing for 30days and wanted her arrested. When did Cindy report her car stolen and If Casey had been missing for 30days why did she wait until the day she found her to calling the police to have her arrested? My concern is why was Cindy Anthony’s LAST call to 911about her granddaughter missing instead of the FIRST call. It seems Cindy Anthony was more worried about her car & money not her own grandduaghter. If I were Cindy my first question when I seen my duaghter would have been where is Caylee. Nothing adds up here. Sorry I just had to vent.

    Awesome website…I have been following this case closely and it is difficult finding the latest on the story. Much Thanks!

  • ronald

    do not respond to the fake help find caylee web site on my space its false. it says help find caylee. but i wont respond or agree to you or read what you have to say if i dont know you. now why the hell make a website like that if you wont acceped anyones help who knows where she is. somethings fishy here. i saw her in a heavey leafed area with her left hand on the leaves. these leaves are weird they have stems that curl go up and droops down ward. thats all the flash pictures i seen.

  • alicia robinson

    So the grandma washed the clothes found in the car…they could still find dna on them since you hear of people trying to wash away blood all the time, but almost no cleaner gets rid of it. They could also test to see how she washed the clothes if she didn’t use detergent. Also, I doubt she drowned in the grandparents pool because Casey, for one reason or another, moved out of their house and in with her boyfriend. He stated that he has a pool at his complex, and that was the last time he saw Caylee.(June 6th) So, why would Casey go to her parents house and let Caylee go swimming? They also found pics dated on June 15th with the granpda, Caylee and Casey. The grandpa said the last time he saw Caylee was before that date and he gave in detail everything Caylee and Casey were wearing and their hairstyles that day. Why would you pay that much attention and how could you remember what they were wearing over a month ago?! I don’t understand the nanny thing, either, because she supposedly worked for Casey for a year and a half…and Casey lived with her parents and they never heard of or seen the nanny?! Pretty sure the work Casey was going to everyday that she told her parents about was some illegal thing and something went wrong and now they have Caylee….or Caylee’s real father didn’t die and he took her…or some twisted thing like that, just like the whole family. Did they find out about the cement yet?

    Also, is there anyway they can contact the IRS to see where Casey was supposely working? They can see where’s been paying taxes to. This JP Chatt guy that was mentioned looks REALLY similar to Caylee. They said that her real father started a family of his own but he died in a car crash. Now the father is being said to be the Grund/Grizzle guy. I think it’s JP, myself, not only because he looks like her, but he’s from Peurto Rico and Casey was said to have a passport. Also, Zenediar (sp, I know) could be a Peurto Rican name and maybe her and JP took Caylee there and Casey decided not to at the last minute. If you look at JP’s sight, there’s a party with info about the address, which is the address that Casey had written down in the car. JP also has a friend named Jeff…could it be the Jeff that Casey is talking about? I know my theory is kind of out there, but so is the family.

  • Noreen Willard

    I have never seen a story covered like this one. It’s getting to the point that NO ONE gives a straight answer to any questions asked about the case. There’s no doubt that the family is involved as far as helping Casey cover up this awful mess that she has created, but I don’t believe their involvement is direct. The attorney won’t even make eye contact because he knows he’s defending a quilty client, but his job is now to defend her. I feel that too much media time is being given to this matter. While it is extremely sad that a beautiful child is missing, it’s also extremely frustrating how the authorities have lost all control and have allowed this family to upset the viewers with their constant lies, and their lack of emotion and concern for this baby. They are in TOTAL control of this case. Enough is enough!

    I have so many feelings on this.. But I think the most important thing here is to find Caylee.. The police are spending way too much time on the lies she is telling.. They need to do the oppossite of what ever Casey tells them.. I as a mother would be out of my mind if someone took my child. I don’t care if she is only 22 a mother is a mother no matter how old you are you still should have common sense to call 911 if your daughter is missing.. She did nothing but party and tell eveyone she was “looking” for her. Where at the bottom of her beer bottle. Still now she says that her daughter is close. How does she know she’s close if she DOESN’T know where she is… Unless she has passed and she put her body some where.. All I want is 1 full day with her.. no one else just me her and a lot of coffee.. I have heard so many people say they want to break her down but she isn’t going to she LOVES what is happening now.. LOVES it… She needs someone to get into her head.. She needs someone who doesn’t ask ONE question about her daughter’s disapperance.. I would LOve to be that person because I know I could do it..

    But since that will never happen all I can do is pray.. I love you website..

    Always, Michelle
