Why I Believe Cindy Anthony

I believe Cindy Anthony is telling us the truth because her behavior is not consistent with someone who is being deceptive.

Put yourself in Cindy Anthony’s shoes and imagine your daughter accidentally killed, or allowed harm to be caused, or caused your granddaughter’s death. Let’s say you decided to cover for your daughter so she wouldn’t have to spend the rest of her life in jail, and that you know what happened to Caylee and ultimately where Caylee’s body ended up.

Would you ever consider:

  1. Calling the police?
  2. Three times?
  3. Would you tell the police you want your daughter arrested?
  4. Would you tell them your daughter as well as your granddaughter have been missing for a month?
  5. Would you say that her car smells like a dead body?
  6. And that she stole from you?

Remember, by protecting a criminal, you, too, are committing a crime.

We all know that when we attract attention to ourselves, we will likely be scrutinized and looked at with a fine tooth comb–especially in a missing person’s case–and that is the last thing we ever wish to invite when we are lying.

Granted, there are people among us who think they are brilliant, and can pull off the perfect crime, and dupe everyone. These people do exist.

Could this be Cindy?

To dupe everyone, you have to have an extremely self-assured, bordering on arrogant personality. More often than not, too, these people demonstrate an exceptional level of intelligence. While we see a steadfast desire and strength in Cindy hoping that Caylee will return, I don’t believe we’ve seen supremacy or arrogance. Furthermore, Cindy’s personality is not consistent with the types of personalities who typically do this.

If Cindy were in on this secret, we can likely guess she would have also questioned and spoke to George who once worked in law enforcement. She would have gotten some good advice on how not to tip off the police, and I can be pretty confident George would tell Cindy and Casey to lay low, and to not draw attention to themselves–which is exactly the opposite of what they did. This doesn’t support a planned cover-up.

You can also bet Cindy and Casey, or Cindy and George would have dreamt up a much better story than the one about Zenaida Gonzaleous. They certainly would have made sure (a) that Zenaida babysat Caylee before, (b) that she truly lived where they said she did. That’s just plain old logic and common sense!

Even if they called the police and reported Caylee missing, I don’t believe they would have made any big fuss as we have seen here. This is too crazy to be scripted.

Sure, they may have called 911 weeks after Caylee disappeared, but I don’t believe that they would have supported Casey in taking off for weeks on end. After all, it is in these weeks after Caylee was last seen that Casey is accused of stealing money from her friends, her mother, dating multiple men, steal gasoline from her parents, lying to just about everyone she met, and was seen partying at a night clubs as if nothing was wrong. All of these images would build a horrible public opinion–which is the last thing Casey or her parents would want in case if they were in cohoots!

And if Casey’s parents are in on the secret and can be held accountable, you can bet Casey’s parents would have had a much more forceful hand on Casey and kept a much tighter rein on her, but they did not.

Outside of all of this, Cindy Anthony’s facial expression, body language, spoken words and actions are all consistent with a mom who is in complete denial that her daughter could do something so monstrous.

Nothing has been a red flag for me that Cindy is being deceptive about Caylee. Instead, I have only seen deep denial, genuine concern, and fear for her granddaughter which would be difficult to fake if she knew all the details of what truly happened.

If she were lying, I would see incredible self-doubt, and some level of paranoia, too. I also would have expected to see her thinking-on-her-feet to answer questions, stammering for words, stuttering or word searching– anything which indicates she isn’t experiencing this as she is leading us to believe. I don’t see any of this.

Based on all of these things, I don’t believe Cindy Anthony knows where Caylee ended up. Instead, I think she is living in a personal hell. Not only does she have to come to grips with the fact she may never see her granddaughter again, but she may have to accept her own daughter did it or played a part in it.

That has to be one of the hardest things to accept for any living soul. That’s too much for any sane person to have to cope with. I don’t blame Cindy for her emotional and raw pleas, her denial and outburst in this most challenging of times. If anything, my heart goes out to Cindy Anthony for all that she has had to endure in front of millions of people. It has to be any parent’s worst nightmare.
