New Photos Uncovered & Caylee Anthony's Mom Confesses?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:03:00 GMT

Casey Anthony is charged with murdering her 2 1/2-year-old daughter Caylee, and her behavior leading up to her child's disappearance and certainly afterwards, has been in question. And according to a source, Anthony has "confessed" to killing the toddler.

Police have allegedly found a "diary of death" in which Casey admits to killing her sweet baby girl. The diary is handwritten by Casey in the days following her daughter's disappearance and contains information that is so "damning" that prosecutors may reconsider seeking the death penalty.

It's believed that Casey and her mother Cindy had a huge fight the night before Caylee disappeared and Cindy said she'd take the little girl from her daughter for good. In the diary, Casey apparently talked of "mercy killing" her daughter so her mother would never get her.

A source said, "Casey snapped. In her sick mind, she became convinved that Caylee would be better off dead, in heaven, than in the hands of her mother."

The diary is also believed to contain detailed notes about chloroform and deadly pesticides. Anthony also refers to her child as "the little snot."

Casey wrote, "I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay. I completely trust my own judgement. I know that I made the right decision."

The insider added, "Police are firmly convinced that Caylee's death was not an accident, but an intentional murder. The reason they are so sure in this diary, in which Casey basically admits she killed her daughter. I think this diary is the ultimate smoking gun - dead ban physical evidence that proves beyond a doubt that Casey is guilty."

New photos have surfaced of Casey partying and although they were taken when Caylee was 14-months-old, (and they certainly don't mean she's a murderer) they put her character in question.

You can see the "party" photos here.

Casey Anthony's trial is scheduled to start October 12. Of course she's innocent until proven guilty.

Thousands Mourn Toddler Caylee Anthony

Sassy Smith — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:02:00 GMT

Slain Florida toddler Caylee Anthony was remembered and mourned by about 1,200 people at a 2-hour memorial service held on Tuesday, February 10. The little girl's body was found two months ago and her mother Casey is in jail, charged with her murder. She was not at the service, and it's believed she did not watch it,, even though it was televised.

PEOPLE reports:

Packing an emotional wallop, the service at the 5,000-seat First Baptist Church of Orlando included two sermons and 12 songs, starting with a piano medley of Caylee's favorite songs, including "Jesus Loves Me" and "You Are My Sunshine.

"There are days you don't know what to say and these are one of these days," said Pastor David Uth, who offered a "prayer of peace" for Caylee's incarcerated mother.

Midway through the ceremony, the Anthony family took the stage to deliver a eulogy. Through tears, first speaker Lee Anthony, Casey's brother, said, "CMA, I miss you. CMA, I am so proud of you. I hope you're proud of me, too,"

Grandmother of Caylee, Cindy Anthony, was the last to speak. "It breaks my heart today that Casey isn't here to honor her child who she loved so much," she said. "Casey, I hope you're listening to this. I wish I could comfort you. I wish I could take away your pain and wipe away your tears."

Casey's father, George Anthony, said that his daughter needed love and understanding while behind bars. He encouraged mourners to write her letters. He also asked the crowd to keep an open mind about the family.

"I miss my daughter, Casey," he said. "Do not form judgments because I tell you, you do not want to be in any of our shoes."

The service concluded with a video montage of Caylee in an Easter bunny outfit, jumping on a bed.

May little Caylee rest in peace.

Memorial For Little Caylee Anthony: Grandmother Writes Eulogy

Sassy Smith — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:05:00 GMT

A memorial service for murdered Orlando tot Caylee Anthony, whose remains were found on December 11, will be held Tuesday, February 10. Her mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged with her murder. Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony says her granddaughter's life didn't "end without a purpose." The grief-stricken Cindy has written a eulogy, saying that Caylee "now has her angel wings and will be watching over so many other children."

Eulogy after the jump

From ABC NEWS, here is part of the eulogy:

Caylee Marie Anthony has captivated the hearts of so many people over the course of the last several months. Many feel a great loss for a beautiful child that they never had the opportunity to meet. They quickly fell in love with her beauty and her charming ways, as she read a story to her ailing great-grandfather, whom she loved very much.

For those who fell in love with Caylee Marie on national TV, their grief is only temporary, their hearts will soon mend, and their memory of her may eventually fade. But for those who actually had the honor to meet Caylee Marie, it will be much more difficult for them to say goodbye, and their hearts may never heal.

On Aug. 9, 2005, God blessed this Earth with one of his most beautiful children. Caylee Marie was born at 7:14 a.m. in an Orlando hospital. From the moment she was born she forever stole the hearts of her family. Caylee was not only a beautiful baby, but she had a beautiful spirit that will live on in those that truly knew her and loved her.

She is survived by her mother, Casey Marie Anthony; her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony; her uncle Lee Anthony; and her great-grandparents, Alex and Shirley Plesea and Ruth and Lee Anthony.

Caylee's life will be honored in a memorial service open to the public Tuesday at the First Baptist Church of Orlando beginning at 10 a.m.

The family is requesting that those with only the purest of hearts and truly honorable intentions attend the service for their beloved child. This service will be a tribute to her life and a time for her family and friends to finally be together to openly express and share their love for her.

The family is requesting, in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to Eastside Baptist Church, 1900 Conway Gardens Road in Orlando; Orlando Rescue Mission; or Kid Finders Network.

So very sad. To read the eulogy in full, please click HERE.

Have You Seen The Caylee Anthony Doll?

trix — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:29:00 GMT

Did you hear that someone is making a "tribute" doll to Caylee Anthony? A "portion" of the $30 price tag, may go to some charities that have yet to be named, but only maybe. It isn't a sure thing, but you know maybe.

The creator said that he wasn't sure if it was appropriate to be making the doll or not and that he was anticipating critics.

You think?

Oh wait, we now have an update that the company isn't going to be making the dolls.

Thank goodness.

Jaime Salcedo, the creator, said, "The doll would "honor" and "respect" Caylee's life by bringing awareness to her case, and was specifically designed not to look like Caylee because it would be too morbid."

He said of the public criticism, "The way that they look at it is morbid and all negative, 'Oh, the little girl is killed.' They don't look at the thing that Caylee's in heaven right now and she's dancing and singing and she's joyous and in a better place than any of us here."

Okay, he's creepy and wrong. Yuck! I can't think of anything to say, I'm just astounded that someone would think that a doll would be a tribute.

George Anthony Longed to "Be With Caylee"

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:25:00 GMT

George Anthony, the distraught grandfather of slain toddler Caylee Anthony, sent his family and friends text messages saying he "did not want to live anymore and that he wanted to be with Caylee" according to a report released by Florida police.

Anthony then disappeared for several hours, prompting a search by police that ended when they found him in a Daytona Beach motel. Reports say that he had taken medication and may have been drinking and left behind a five or six page suicide note.

According to an Orange County sheriff's report, Anthony's wife Cindy (Cynthia) said that "George has been upset and depressed about the death of his granddaughter, Caylee Marie."

"She stated she asked George yesterday to pick out some jewelry for Caylee for her funeral," the report stated. "Cynthia said she believed this might have made him even more depressed."

George and Cindy Anthony have publicly defended their daughter, saying that she had nothing to with Caylee's disappearance.

In a December interview on Larry King Live, George Anthony said that he never suspected his daughter killed his granddaughter and he felt Caylee was still alive.

"Oh, Caylee? She's with, hopefully, a loving family that's taking care of her," he said.

The next day, Caylee's remains were found in the woods near the home where Casey Anthony had lived with her parents.

George Anthony, the grandfather of slain toddler Caylee Anthony, was found in a Daytona Beach motel room after he was reported missing for several hours. Police told reporters that Anthony had sent text messages to family members indicating that he "wanted to end his life." He was found with a "five to six page suicide letter" although police said he had not tried to harm himself.

A spokeswoman for Daytona Beach hospital where Anthony was taken said he was in stable condition and was admitted for observation.

Anthony's daughter, Casey Anthony was previously charged with Caylee's murder. The two-year-old's body was found last December in the woods near where she had lived with her mother and grandparents.

As a parent I can understand the desire to protect your children, but I think this incident shows that George Anthony is having a hard time dealing with the truth of who killed his granddaughter.

Family Friend Says "I Could Have Saved Caylee"

Karl Erikson — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 12:35:00 GMT

Casey Anthony's best friend says, "I could have saved Caylee Anthony's life. Her smiling little face will haunt me forever." Kiomarie Torres Cruz - best friend of the accused murderess Casey Anthony - gave an interview to the National Enquirer and she says that she should have seen the signs.

Police believe that Casey killed 2-year-old daughter Caylee and threw her away like trash. Kiomarie, 22, a witness for the prosecution in Casey's murder trial, says that Casey never wanted Caylee. She was going to give the baby to Kiomarie, actually, but her mom didn't like the plan so she dropped it.

More sickening news? The place where police found Caylee's body recently was a secret hideaway for Casey. She often used it as a pet cemetery. As girls Casey and Kiomarie would go there all dressed in black, reading prayers for their dead pets. They called the place The Zone.

Back in July, Kiomarie told the police that she suspected Caylee's body might be in The Zone. The cops checked it out but found nothing. But it was last week that a meter reader stumbled across the remains and now they're certain it's Caylee.

Remains Positively Identified as Those of Caylee Anthony

The skeletal remains found last week in the woods near the home of Caylee Anthony have been positively identified as those of the missing toddler. A county medical examiner said her death is considered a homicide.

The medical examiner, Dr. Jan Garavaglia, said that DNA tests confirm that the remains match Caylee Anthony’s genetic profile but the findings give no clue as to how the girl was killed. The remains, some of which were as small as pebbles, were discovered by a utility worker on the edge of the Anthony's neighborhood about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando.

Caylee's mom, Casey Anthony, was charged with first-degree murder in October in the disappearance of her daughter and recently pleaded not guilty. According to a spokesperson for her attorney, Casey is aware of today's findings but there has been no comment from her or her family.

Caylee Anthony hadn't been seen since June, but her mother didn't report her missing until a month later. The child's grandmother, Casey's mom, called authorities in July to report that she hadn't seen her granddaughter in a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

Has Caylee Anthony Been Found?

The skeletal remains of a small child have been found in Florida, and speculation is that it is the body of missing toddler Caylee Anthony. Caylee's mom, Casey Anthony, was charged with first-degree murder in October in the disappearance of her daughter and recently pleaded not guilty.

Caylee Anthony hasn't been seen since June, but her mother didn't report her missing until a month later. The child's grandmother, Casey's mom, called authorities in July to report that she hadn't seen her granddaughter in a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

The body found this morning was discovered by a utility worker on the edge of the Anthony's neighborhood about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando. Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said it was not immediately apparent to investigators whether the remains belonged to Caylee.

Mandy Albritton, a member of EquuSearch - one of the groups that searched for Caylee in the months after her disappearance - said their volunteers did not previously search the location where the remains were found because it was submerged in water. When they returned in November, the site had been closed off by a fence.

Deborah Smith, one of EquuSearch’s volunteers, had already searched the area three times and said “she had a bad feeling” because Anthony had said her daughter was nearby. She said, “it’s really wet and steep and there’s lots of snakes back there.”

“I do believe it’s (Caylee Marie),” Smith said.

As a parent, my heart aches for this little girl. In my opinion her mother should be held fully responsible for her death and her grandparents are guilty to a certain extent for covering up for their daughter.

Video: Is Little Caylee Anthony Alive?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:10:00 GMT

Three-year-old Caylee Anthony went missing in June and her mother Casey Anthony has been indicted by a Florida grand jury on a first-degree murder charge. However, there is at least one person who believes the little girl is still alive - Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony. She refuses to believe that her granddaughter is dead or that her daughter had anything to do with her disappearance.

Cindy told TODAY's Meredith Vieira on Wed's show, "I know Caylee is alive."

She said, "I know my daughter. There is nothing in this world that could make me believe that Casey did anything to Caylee. There has never been any child neglect, child abuse or anything. This young lady loves her child, more than I love Casey."

According to reports, there have been "sightings" of Caylee since her disappearance, and now a court ruling now states that authorities have to turn over those reports to the family, that will give them names of the people who called police claiming they've seen the little girl.

Cindy added, "There's a lot of people out there that have seen Caylee. We're going to reach out to those people once we get their names and we're going to go ahead and start tracking them down ourselves.... I know in my heart that we are going to find Caylee before this trial takes place."

However, not everyone agrees with Casey's grandmother. Florida State Attorney Lawson Lamar's office obtained the grand jury indictment against Casey on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about her child's disappearance months ago. She's also facing charges on passing bad checks that she allegedly used to purchase beer and lingerie.

Cindy Anthony said she's been spending as much time with her daughter as she can - she sat with Casey in her lawyer Jose Baez's office.

She said, "I just wanted to be around her as much as I could. We've known that they've been building a case against Casey from day one, and they have not been looking for my granddaughter. Her attorney has been preparing for this since day one."

Cindy Anthony said it's been hard for her daughter, waiting for the indictment. "Not only is she facing the charges, I told her the night before: 'You know, they haven't been looking for Caylee.' She's lost her daughter. Someone has her daughter."

Caylee's grandmother added, "My love for Casey is stronger every day. My love for my granddaughter is stronger every day."

You can watch the interview HERE.

I hope they do find Caylee alive, but it's not looking good. Our hearts go out to her.

Finally - the mother of missing 3-year-old toddler Caylee Anthony is being held accountable for her daughter's disappearance. A Florida grand jury returned an indictment today charging Casey Anthony with first-degree murder; the state attorney for Orange County said the first count is a capital charge -- which could carry a penalty of life in prison or death.

Caylee Anthony disappeared in mid-June, but Casey Anthony waited a full month before contacting authorities to report her daughter missing. The toddler's grandmother, Casey's mom. called the police in July to say that she hadn't seen Casey for a month and that her daughter's car smelled like a dead body.

While her daughter was missing, Casey Anthony was seen partying at nightclubs and living the life of a carefree single woman, at one point entering a "hot body" contest. She was also accused of stealing a friend's checkbook during this time and forging checks to go on shopping sprees.

Casey Anthony claimed that her daughter disappeared after she had dropped her off with a babysitter, but when police checked out her story they learned that the address that Anthony supplied belonged to vacant apartment. The woman Anthony named as the babysitter said she did not know Anthony.

Casey Anthony, the mother of the Florida toddler who has been missing since June, was arrested again on Friday night on fraud and theft charges. The 22-year-old had allegedly used a friend's checkbook to pay for items at several stores and to write a check for cash.

Anthony was released from jail last week on $500,000 bond where she had been held on charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing the investigation into her daughter Caylee's disappearance. Although the 3-year-old hasn't been seen since mid-June, Anthony did not report her missing until July.

A bounty hunter with the California company that helped Anthony post bond says he no longer believes the little girl is alive. "Absolutely not," Leonard Padilla said. He also told ABC News that he now regrets getting involved with the case. "Maybe we got duped a little bit. Maybe we overestimated her."

On Wednesday it was revealed that air samples taken from Anthony's car showed proof that a decomposing human body had been inside the trunk.
