Please Look at This Picture - Has Anyone Seen This Missing Baby? UPDATES THROUGHOUT

[bumcat]

I think Saturday night NG is a recap of the week.

I think you're right, I must have missed the part about the odor in the yard.

 

[disney kid at heart]

you would be surprised... women come in our hospital all the time claiming that they are suffering from post partum depression long past the 12-18 months of typical cases.... I am not saying it's realistic... but probable none the less

I am 59yrs old, had 6 children 2 yrs apart with a set of twins in the middle. Back in my time you may have cried a little because you were exausted but NOT ONE time did you hear of mothers killing their babies. I have always thought of post-partum depression as a way for the monsters to get rid of their children. I just think it will be wrong if she plays that card next. I just hope that baby is alive and being taken care of by loving people. This is just tearing me up.

me too... and I agree.. I must admit that my hardest rotation in nursing was psych... I like my mom before me really can't comprehend mental illness... I realize it is a chemical imbalance but despite myself I really have a hard time understanding it... A part of me wants to scream "GET OVER IT" I know that sounds insensitive but I have taken care of several people just in my family alone, very sick people... so when I see some spoiled brat crying that they are depressed I feel like shoving zanax up their........ fill in the blank

I cried alot when my DD was a baby as well from exhaustion but then again I could also choke it up to really being a kid myself ... never did I want to harm my child

After reading the last couple of posts I totally agree with you all, being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world and we all go through tired and hard times but always when all is said and done our children come first.

I really hope and pray that this little girl is being looked after and cared for much better now and that she is still alive.

This whole thing is sooo sickening- if she didn't want that beautiful girl she should have turned her over to her grandparents! I agree that while the grandmother seems a little nutty; she doesn't seem like a murderer. I really pray that she is found! And God forbid; if she is dead- that at least she can have a decent burial.

Yep I know what you mean. In this day and age seems like some mothers are born with the maternal instinct and others aren't and flip out instead of putting their chilren 1st. That's why I think a lot of grandparents are raising their grandchildren. Back in the day we wouldn't have wanted anyone to raise our kids but us. You'd just have a good cry and say "self pull yourself together the twins need fed or whatever they needed mom". I want the good ole days back.

I'm only 25 and I want those days back as well... there is no excuse for it

Cindy also lambasted the media in what she said was inaccurate coverage.

"News media reaches out to people who know nothing. Why does the media want to harass innocent people?" she asked.

Cindy also expressed her displeasure with investigators on the case.

"Every time they call, they ask to speak to my husband or Casey's brother. They're treating me like a child. I'm not a child," Cindy Anthony said.

Oh my goodness, that is what this woman cares about, the fact that a reporter asked to speak with her husband over her?!? I think this whole family needs to be brought in for a psych evaluation

I have been following this story closely since it was first released. I've been on the Orlando Sentinel forums and there are all kinds of wild speculation. I've checked the Orange County Sheriff's Office site, the Sentinel, and all the tv stations in and around Orlando.

Something is bad wrong here. My wife goes nuts if we don't hear from our kids and grandkids everyday...and two of our kids live in the same town we do. We have one that lives in Iowa and we talk to them every day.

I can't imagine ANY situation in which I would go five weeks without seeing my grandchildren or hearing from them. Pray that Caylee is found safe. I know that it doesn't look like it, but I still have hope. This just breaks my heart.

I don't know if this is 'new' news,it's the first i have heard this, but i have just found this---(i don't know how to post links-so have copied it for you all)this is referring to the 2nd call made by Cindy...

While a dispatcher was transferring Cindy Anthony to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, a snippet of the mother and daughter's conversation was captured.

Cindy Anthony: 'Cause my next thing will be down to child (inaudible) thing and we'll have a court order to get her. If that's the way you want to play, we'll do it and you'll never. . .

Casey Anthony: That's not the way I want to play. . .

Cindy Anthony: Well then you have. . .

Casey Anthony: Give me one more day.

Cindy Anthony: No, I'm not giving you another day, I've given you a month. . .

The conversation, and the recording ended when an Orange County Sheriff's Office dispatcher picks up the line.

Cindy Anthony and her husband George visited Casey in Orange County Jail, where she is being held on more than $500,000 bail. After the visit, George Anthony, in good spirits, said the couple would be speaking publicly soon. Asked by reporters if they had good news, he said, "Oh yeah."

He also said Caylee is alive.
--------------------------------------------------

So if that conversation is true-then the Grandmother knew all along that Caylee was missing.x.

Actually, Cindy (Gmother) had been asking to talk to Caylee on the phone and Casey kept making excuses. I don't think Cindy knew about the "nanny" "kidnapping" Caylee story until the 911 calls.

Caylee, honey, there are people looking for you. I hope you sleep well and the angels are watching over you.

I have been following this thread+finding out what i can on the internet about this poor little girl,as we don't have much coverage if any,over here.I can't seem to find any updated news-would be grateful for some links-if there is any updates-thank you.

I don't agree(normally) with judging someone until there is proof/evidence of this.But i do believe and agree with most if not all of you on here that,that Mum(can you even call her that??)has something to do with her missing daughter.I believe she has sold her or done something a lot worse to her-God forbid.None of this really adds up.As for the Grandmother-i don't know what to believe about her,at first i thought 'no' she has nothing to do with this or doesn't know anything,but now i am not so sure.One statement that she made sticks in my mind,the one where she said about the trunk/car smelling of a dead/decomposed body-a foul odor.I have never ever smelt a 'dead body' and hope never to,so i sure as heck wouldn't have a clue what one smelt like.To me this is a very weird statement to make-of all the things she could have said it smelt like-she says a 'dead body' ,and is now saying she doesn't remember saying this.
I have also just listened to the phone conversation that Casey made to her Mum,Brother+friend-very weird-nothing 'adds up'.
I hope+pray that Caylee is safe,but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be looking very good-i hope i am wrong.x.

No, it doesn't look good. But we'll just have to wait like everyone else and in the meantime pray for Caylee's safety. This family appears to be nutty as squirrel poop.

Be very careful posting news articles on the site. Many of them are copyrighted. You can post links, however. Some folks on the Orlando Sentinel forums got in trouble over it.

 

[Belle68]

my heart is in my mouth, Each time I check out this thread I live in hope that there will be some good news and each time this story just seems to get more bizare.

What bothers me the most is the mother is still enabling Casey. When she calls her in prison, she says "sweetheart". I'm sorry, but if my daughter was that nutty and had lost my grandchild, you betcha I would not be calling her sweetheart! Someone needs to give Casey a swift kick in the *** to get her to spill the beans. She knows EXACTLY where Caley is and who has her. She is probably just happy now that she has all of this media attention.

If my brother or myself were involved in something like this, my parents would be cursing us out on a daily basis until we felt guilty enough to confess.

While I would feel this way too- I'd want to kick the girl (my daughter) in the pants until she started talking, I could also see that type of approach having the opposite effect on Casey. She'd probably clam up even worse if her family acted hostile toward her. At least if they ACT like they are on her side she may finally feel safe enough to confess to them. Then after she confesses, they should REALLY let her have it!

I don't see her as enabling her. I see her trying to get that grandbaby back, If Cindy went in there yelling and screaming at Casey how much do you think Casey is going to tell her mom

 

[sorcerormickey]

You know, this whole thing is just so frustrating. Like Casey thinks this is all a big game or something. The welfare/well-being of your child is not a game.

Does Guantanamo Bay have any vacancies?? Maybe some waterboarding will get her to talk.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Despite promises that arrested mother Casey Anthony would talk to the FBI about her missing daughter Caylee, she hasn't said a word. It seems as though Casey's family's mood is getting a little more grim, but maybe they're just exhausted.

Casey's brother Lee visited her at the jail's visitation center Monday and, instead of talking to reporters as he usually has, he sped away down John Young Parkway after ducking out a back gate and running as soon as Eyewitness News tried to ask him a few questions..

Cynthia Anthony, the mother of Casey and Lee, said someone from the media actually chased them down the highway and Lee felt as though his life was in danger. The way she worded her reaction made her sound resigned to the fact she's lost Caylee.

"If I lose one more person close to me, because someone's chasing him and he gets into a car accident, that's not what everybody wants," she said.

The family has been making claims recently that Casey has given them the names of the friends who had put her in touch with a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez, whom she claims was Caylee's longtime nanny.

"Two particular people that introduced her to Zenaida because they had children and that's how the connection was made," Lee told the media over the weekend.

Investigators said they've heard nothing new since Casey's string of lies. The Anthony's have also said recently that Casey wants to talk to the FBI.

"We've spoken to detectives about it and her attorney about it and it's up to them now to set things up," Cynthia said of speaking with the FBI.

But detectives say it's totally up to Casey; she could do it at anytime. But so far, she hasn't asked to meet with the FBI.

The 5th District Court of Appeals in Daytona Beach wants the results of Casey's psychological evaluation by noon Wednesday before deciding whether to grant her attorney's request to lower her $500,000 bond. Eyewitness News has heard nothing about that from her attorney and those results would likely be sealed from public view.

Casey's parents are set to visit her at the jail Tuesday morning and Casey's friend Stephanie Kostakis is scheduled for a visit with her Sunday night. Stephanie's MySpace page says "I love you Caylee Marie Anthony" and says her mood is "hopeful."

Investigators won't say when they might released the videotaped visits Casey has had with her parents and her brother or the recorded phone call with her brother over the weekend.

 

[Feralpeg]

Casey's attorney has requested an emergency hearing tomorrow to request that the release of all call transcripts from the jail be stopped. He says that too much media coverage of their conversations could harm the investigation.
