Pam Plesea, Cindy Anthony's Ex Sister in Law Speaks To Nancy Grace

Pam Plesea is the ex-wife of Rick Plesea. Rick Plesea is the brother of Cynthia Anthony. Cynthia Anthony, as we all know, is the mother of Casey Anthony, the 25 year old who is charged with first degree felony murder of her daughter, Caylee.

Though now estranged from her ex-husband and ex-sister-in-law, Pam Plesea appeared via phone on Nancy Grace on July 2, 2011.

Pam spoke with Grace after learning an internet interview was being published on July 2, 2011 without her consent.

Plesea said she had spoken to someone whom she believed was a representative of the Florida State  Attorney's Office.  Unbeknownst to Pam, the person was NOT a representative of Florida's Assistant State Attorney's office. The information Pam shared regarding her limited knowledge of  any events surrounding  the murder of Caylee Marie Anthony and including the Anthony family was in fact being used to compile an "Exclusive" interview of Ms. Plesea.

Pam Plesea stated she was initially contacted like everyone else in the family for photographs of Casey and the family. She did not want to insert herself into this horror that her former family members were living. Pam elaborated, that Rick disowned their son, and she has been talking in confidence with Shirley Plesea for several years. Pam added that Shirley  finally told her what happened the night Caylee went missing on June 15, 2008. It's not what Cindy and George have sworn under oath to in court either, said Pam Plesea.


Plesea recalls a birthday party held  for her son's fourth birthday. At that  time, Casey was just days or weeks old, however Cindy was in attendance at Pam's home for the party.  At some point during the activities, Cindy approached Pam and held the then infant Casey up to Pam's face and said, 'What a shame you will never know how it feels to have your own child.'
Pam said  Cindy's remarks were disheartening and hurtful.  Pam explained she and ex-husband Rick adopted their son. "Our son is just as  loved and treated as if I had given birth to him." .
Cindy then said, 'Oh, I meant that you never will have a girl, and it's the best thing for a mother. She's my life now.'
Now, twenty-five years later, I see she is willing to possibly perjure herself for her daughter, stated Plesea. Pam describes the Anthony family she formerly knew "as a typical all-American family".

Shirley Plesea has been talking to ex-daughter-in-law, Pam Plesea since this nightmare began. Plesea says Shirley told her that on June 15, 2008, Father's Day, she, Cindy and Caylee went to visit Alex Plesea, Shirley's husband and Cindy's father, at the nursing home, which is very close to where Shirley lives. Afterwards, Shirley, Cindy, and Caylee returned to Shirley's home for lunch. It was then when Shirley showed Cindy that Casey had forged a $354 check on Cindy's father's nursing home account."

Regarding a conversation with Shirley Plesea, Pam says, "She later told me Cindy found out Casey had done this. She claimed she used the money to buy a new work phone for Universal Studios. Shirley told Cindy that she was going to call the police and she said Cindy told her, if she did, she'd never speak to her again."  Shirley feels guilty to this day that she did not call the police. She had warned Cindy, if something was not done to stop Casey, she'd end up doing something bad. Shirley lives with the grief of if she had only called the police, Caylee might still be alive today, said Pam.   Pam states she told Shirley that none of the family could have ever known this would happen and attempts to encourage Shirley that she in no way contributed to Casey's actions. 

Shirley also told Pam that Cindy and George are not being totally honest about the night of June 15, 2008. Lee was there, Cindy confronted Casey and they ended up in an altercation and Cindy choked Casey. Lee pulled them apart, and Cindy called Shirley to tell her that Casey would never steal again and that she had choked her.
According to Pam, Shirley has also revealed Cindy called Shirley the following morning, June 16, 2008,  and told her Casey had taken Caylee and the car before anyone woke up and was gone.  Thus, contradicting George's testimony that he saw Casey and Caylee leaving the home at 12:50pm on June 16.
Searches on the Anthony home computer, performed at times after George left for work,  also impeach George's testimony.

Cindy Anthony's testimony did not come as a shock when she testified under oath that it was she who performed the searches on the Anthony family computer. The searches included neck breaking, chloroform, how to make chloroform and other searches that the prosecution claimed could only have been made by Casey Anthony.
Casey Anthony was the only person, according to the work records of George Anthony and Cynthia Anthony, that could have made the searches. A stunned prosecution was livid  when Cindy then claimed on the witness stand she was home early on those days and remembered making the searches herself.

During their rebuttal  on July 1, the prosecution called upon John Camperlengo the Chief Compliance Officer  and Cindy Anthony's nursing supervisor Deborah Polisano, both with Gentiva Health Services, Cindy's former employer. Both witnesses testified that Cindy was at work.  The Chief Compliance Officer went as far as proving it by the use of Anthony's employer assigned password.  The nursing supervisor, Polisano, showed documentation to the court that Anthony was entering patient information using the company computer at the Gentiva office in Winter Park, FL.--  while the searches were being done at her home on a desktop computer.

Anthony's attorney Mark Lippman stated on The Today Show on July 2,  that his client Cindy Anthony  maintains she performed the chloroform searches.
Prosecutors would not comment if they plan  on filing perjury charges against Cynthia Anthony relating to her testimony.
