Casey Anthony: Baez, Videotapes, and Private (L)eyes?

Deputies want know what a private investigator was doing in the area where Caylee's body was found. They've been told he was videotaping the area a month before Caylee's body was discovered.

The private investigator was apparently working with the Anthony family at the time. It raises questions about whether the Anthonys knew the remains were there a month before they were found.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIDEO REPORT: Private Eye's Video Being Investigated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The private investigator who works with the Anthonys states he came to the area the month before Caylee's remains were found and videotaped the area. He says the tape shows Caylee's body was not there at that time, but now investigators want to know why he was there with a camera in mid-November.

Private investigator Jim Hoover says he recorded the wooded area where Caylee Marie Anthony's remains were found about a month before they were found.

"We will definitely look into that, absolutely," said Carlos Padilla, Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Hoover briefly showed an Eyewitness News photographer a short clip of the videotape, which appeared to be authentic; the fence was recognizable.

"They know the existence of the tape and want to look at all evidence that's available," Padilla said.

Investigators also want to talk to the Anthonys' private investigator who works with Hoover, Dominic Casey. The defense wants to intervene, because Dominic Casey used to work for the defense and attorney Jose Baez doesn't want him to divulge privileged information.

Baez said investigators won't let him sit in on the questioning, so he's asking the judge to appoint a special master to protect defense secrets if the private eye agrees to talk.

"Investigators have tried to make arrangements with Mr. Casey to speak to him and he's not responded," Padilla said.

The defense's spokesman said they don't want their former private eye to divulge privileged conversations they might have had about where Caylee's remains might be.

UPDATE 12/29/08: Cindy And George Anthony Seeking Large Venue For Caylee's Memorial Service

Update to previous post-
video below

Brad Conway, the Anthony's attorney wanted to reiterate that the Anthony's are NOT soliciting donations earmarked for Caylee's funeral or memorial service. They are planning a private funeral service after the holidays, and a public memorial as well.

Large Venue Sought

While he did not name a date or place for the tributes, Conway did say, "The public memorial will have to be located at a large venue so that everyone who wants to pay their last respects to this beautiful child may do so," Conway said.

A spokesman for the jail where Caylee's mother and accused murderer, Casey Anthony, is being held pending trial said that Casey would not be able to attend a funeral or memorial service because of the charges against her, as well as for safety and security reasons. Casey is charged with first degree murder, and being held without bond.

Jose Baez Files New Motion; LE: Anthony's Gave Casey "Too Much Credit"

Casey Anthony's lawyer Jose Baez has files a new motion Monday



Jose Baez

Jose Baez was back to work on behalf of his client, Casey Anthony, Monday. After a short hiatus from the Christmas holiday, Baez was filing motions Monday afternoon to safeguard privileged attorney client information regarding the case.
Baez is worried detectives are trying to obtain privileged information about the case from a private detective who used to work for his defense team, so he's asking a judge to intervene.

Baez is asking the judge to appoint a "special master" to oversee any questioning of the private investigator by law enforcement.

The private eye is a familiar face to insiders. His name is Dominic Casey, who, early on, worked for Baez. Then in October, George and Cindy Anthony hired him to follow up on "live sightings" of Caylee Anthony.

Also, there is a video tape that has surfaced. A video of the the area in which Caylee's remains were found December 11, 2008. Sources close to the case say that Dominic Casey, an ex-employee of Jose Baez and Company, had Jim Hoover video tape the exact area in mid-November. In October, 2008, Dominic Casey left Baez's firm and was hired by George and Cindy Anthony as thier own private investiagtor.

Baez said law enforcement is now showing an interest in questioning Dominic Casey and he (Baez) wants to make sure LE does not obtain privileged information Dominic Casey may have learned while working for Baez.

Anthony's Expected To Be Candid With Investigators Regarding Casey
Cindy and George Anthony

The Anthony's face the wrenching task of burying Caylee early in the New Year, but then, sources tell said, George, Cindy and Lee Anthony will be asked to play a pivotal role in holding Casey Anthony accountable or else.

As one investigator put it, "They're going to be asked to help convict her."

If the Anthony's are not candid and truthful, sources said, it may come to obstruction of justice charges against one or more of them.

Medical examiner Jan Garavaglia said it's unlikely they'll ever be able to determine a definitive cause of death, but sources said toxicology tests done on Caylee's hair will "give us clues in that direction." Remnants of certain drugs and toxins can still be present in hair. Also, amount of drug or toxin and the length of time they were present in the body may also be able to be determined by hair.

However morbid, the duct tape helped the case by preserving the hair for toxicology.

The duct tape found on Caylee's skull proves what some sources close to the investigation have suspected about her death all along -- "It wasn't an accident."

Another aspect some insiders find haunting, is how close to the Anthony home Caylee's remains had been dumped.

Sources say the Anthony's simply gave Casey Anthony "far too much credit" that she would have done something more elaborate with her daughter's body.

Meter Reader May Receive Reward For Findings

Meanwhile, a new reward is being offered to meter reader Roy Kronk for finding the bag of skeletal remains that were determined to belong to missing Caylee Anthony.

According to Kronk's lawyer, David Evans, George and Cindy Anthony's one-time representative Mark NeJame has contacted Kronk regarding a $5,000 reward, which represents the amount of money NeJame made while serving as the Anthony family's representative. For now, it's unclear whether Kronk will accept the offer.

Initially, Crimeline said Roy Kronk was not eligible for a cash reward from them because he called 911 the day he found Caylee's remains instead of Crimeline.


Roy Kronk

A source within Crimeline now said things could be different. They're checking to try to confirm that Kronk called them during the same three days in August he called sheriff's headquarters to report something suspicious along Suburban Drive.

More than two weeks after Kronk discovered Caylee's remains along Suburban Drive, a memorial still draws people by the dozens.

Those who have followed the case closely have different opinions on whether Kronk deserves a reward.

"I think he should be rewarded, definitely," Aida Ramos said.

"If they think they found something, they should call it in," Jennifer Tice said. "That's all there is to it." Tice said doing a good deed should not include an expectation of a cash reward.
"I don't think somebody should be rewarded for that," Tice said. "I mean, that's a child who is missing. That's common sense."

In his only statement to reporters, Kronk confirmed that he reported his suspicions four months before discovering the remains.

"I had previously reported to Crimeline and the sheriff's office that I had spotted something suspicious -- a bag in that same area," Kronk said.

Kronk's lawyer, David Evans, states that "..money is not Kronk's main motivation. But if he qualifies, at the very least, Kronk should receive a Crimeline reward."

When asked why Kronk deserved the reward, NeJame said, "I think Kronk is beyond deserving. Without him, who knows when Caylee would have been found."

Sources confirmed they do not suspect Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found the bag of Caylee’s remains, of playing any sort of sinister role in the case.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The original reward posted after Caylee was first reported missing was $250, 000. It was issued in July, 2008 and was to expire after 90 days. (October 2008) The amount was contributed by individuals, both private and public, as well as businesses in the Orlando area. I have yet to hear anyone mention this "expiration date" of the reward. More research to continue...
Also, in one of the jail house video visits between Casey and Cindy and George, Cindy asks Casey if she has heard of the reward for Caylee's return. Casey, trying to not make much of the subject, says "No." When Cindy tells Casey the amount of the reward is $250,000, Casey's only remark is "Whoa, that's half my bond." This was before Casey was bailed out the first time by Leonard Padilla on a $500,000 bond.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe further investigating should be conducted regarding Kronk before any reward is paid. I agree that finding "remains" should not require a monetary reward. There is, at the least, something coincidental about the entire Kronk link" to the case. If the remains had been investigated on Kronk's first call, and identified as Caylee at the onset, I may be a little more lenient. However, with the turn of events, the "three consecutive calls", Kronk's adamant need to remain anonymous, and his immediate hiring of an attorney, I have speculations of my own. Until those circumstances have been totally cleared by LE, then, I may entertain the idea that Kronk deserves this reward. Then again, it is not up to me. ...my two cents

Anthony Former Attorney, Mark NeJame, Considering Reward


Mark NeJame, Attorney

An Orange County meter reader may get his reward after all. Orlando Attorney Mark NeJame told FOX 35 that he is strongly considering giving Ray Kronk $5,000 as a reward for finding the body of missing toddler Caylee Anthony.

That is around $245, 000 less than the original reward posted by several business and individuals in the Orlando area. The reward was intended to expire within 90 days from date of implement. That would have been

See the Video: Kronk could get reward for finding Caylee's remains.

NeJame said Kronk is a good guy and did a good thing. He added that without him, Caylee may have never been found.

NeJame resigned as the attorney for Caylee's grandparents George and Cindy. Crimeline offered a $5,000 reward for information, but they denied Kronk's claim on the money because he called 911, and not the crimeline number.

Caylee Anthony's Name to Join "Waterfall of Tears" Memorial


Don Williams and the "Waterfall of Tears"

Caylee Anthony's name will be added to the "Waterfall of Tears", a memory wall created by Don Williams of Leesburg, Florida.

Don began his ‘Waterfall of Tears’ memorial in 2005. It is constructed of concrete blocks and each bear the names of children who have been murdered. Caylee Anthony is to join the Waterfall of Tears and join the ranks of other murdered Angels.

What would inspire such an act? Don’s inspiration to build his memorial to murdered children started almost 4 years ago, after the horrible murder of little 9 year old Jessica Lunsford, from Homosassa, Florida, who was kidnapped, held for days, abused, then buried alive.


The Waterfall of Tears has over 90 murdered children names. Those include Polly Klaas, JonBenet Ramsey, Jimmy Ryce of Homestead, Florida, the students killed in the Columbine High School massacre, and even Julian King, the nephew of singer-actress Jennifer Hudson. They all decorate concrete blocks that sit in Don’s front yard.

Don, who is 47, has seven adult children and is a heavy equipment operator, says it is his way of remembering missing children who were later found dead.

Don says, “it is time to add Caylee Marie Anthony to his Waterfall of Tears, now that she has been found. Now her name will rest with the rest of the Angels on the wall.”

He hopes he can help bring peace to the Anthony family, and to all the families whose children’s names decorate the memorial wall. “I feel like I’m doing something for them to keep their child’s name alive,” he said. “If I can paint Caylee’s name and have her join the rest of the Angels, that would be great. That would really make my day.”

When asked about his Waterfall of Tears, he says, “there was nothing for these little kids that have been murdered,” he said. I thought “I’ve got to dedicate something.” And DO he DID…
Don constructed the 60 foot wide by 60 foot long memorial labeled, “The Waterfall of Tears.” Where the names of murdered children surround a 15-foot-deep pond.

Once he hears about a child found murdered, Don dedicates a block in the child’s memory. The blocks of murdered children have their name, their age at the time of death, with the state of their birth. The whole memorial takes up about a quarter-acre of his property.

“It feels so good letting these parents know their child is not forgotten,” Don stated. The children “had a chance in life and someone took it, for some reason.”

For Caylee, Williams has collected artificial flowers and placed them in an area reserved for her. He keeps a photo of Caylee on the block reserved for her.

He has taken a particular interest in the Caylee Anthony case and has even gone so far as dropping off a video at the Anthony home showing his memorial and his plans to include Caylee. He also participated in the search for Caylee and would like George and Cindy Anthony to personally add Caylee’s name to his Waterfall of Tears. Don says the wall is for the families and he wants them to know their child is not forgotten and that people do care.

Don says, “all kids who lose their lives under tragic circumstances deserve a fitting memorial. These kids didn’t need to die and with each name I’ve written down, I feel a presence of each little kid.”

His Waterfall of Tears will have a new name soon, Caylee Marie Anthony’s place has been saved and her cement block is just waiting for the right time to have her name, age and the state where she was born, added to it. Don Williams will not let Caylee Anthony be forgotten. She will forever be on his Waterfall Of Tears, alongside the other abused Angels.

Caylee's Myspace page: Faith Hill's "A Baby Changes Everything" (and Michelle Bart Spews Again)

From the Caylee is Missing Myspace page, written by Michelle Bart:
(reference selection italicised)

During this time of year, think before you speak. This has been a very difficult year for many of us and one little angel had the power to bring together many people in an effort to help find her and in the end many strangers have also become friends. Think before you speak, I have read over 30,000 requests to weed out those that are not appropriate; I can agree to disagree with the circumstances of the case, but keep your message short and directed to Caylee and then everyone in the end will be here for the same reason.

I want to remind everyone this is Caylee's site first and foremost. Her
mother Casey, her grandparents George and Cindy, and he Uncle Lee are her family in which she loved unconditionally and despite what many in the public have concluded to be that of the case, remember in this country as we begin change on
January 20th with a new President of The United States, "we're all innocent
until proven guilty" and any photos and history of our little angel Caylee Marie
will continue to reflect this, and this includes one hundred percent those items
of her family members.


I wish all of you happy holidays and ask you to please think before you speak or we will need to reject all requests. We are here because of Caylee, keep this in mind when sending a message and in the end Caylee will continue to smile down on all of us!!

Happy Holidays to all!
Michelle A. Bart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The song chosen for Caylee's Myspace at this time is:
"A Baby Changes Everything" by Faith Hill see video below. The song is from Faith's 'Joy to the World' Christmas CD. Although a Christmas song referring to Jesus' birth, some of the lyrics are quite fitting.

With that said, I feel a tinge of guilt even comparing the two. It is a beautiful song, I have the CD and and the song became one of my favorites from the first time I listened. No matter my opinions on the Anthony's, Cindy and George, I do feel for them at this time of year. To have a child ripped from your life at any moment has to be excruciating, but at Christmas, when children are so full of wonder and amazement, it has to be emotionally hard on them. They not only lost a granddaughter, their own daughter, Casey, spent her Christmas in jail, without visit. Through Casey's actions, she placed herself in this position, innocent or guilty, she is incarcerated at Christmas. We know for sure she did commit the economic crimes, for which she is also charged, and we can say that she is "guilty" of those crimes. Evidence proves it.
Nonetheless, George and Cindy have to be enduring a painful, empty, lonely holiday full of anxiousness on what awaits in the new year. I can in my heart of hearts, at this moment, feel some emotion for what they are having to endure at this time. That is not to say I stand behind them or Casey. I, too, am awaiting further evidence to be released to hopefully provide more connection of Casey to this horrific crime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In response to Michelle Bart's statement:

Is Michelle indicating that somehow President Obama will help Casey? Does she not realize that we all have the right to be "innocent until proven guilty", and have had that right for hundreds of years? Does Michelle think that right just began, or it is beginning when Obama takes office?

I'm a little confused on her thinking here. Much like I have always been anytime she opens her mouth.

How do the photos of Caylee reflect that Casey is innocent? Is she referring to the photos and items taken from the Anthony home in the last search warrant? All I can do is shake my head. I would ask Michelle myself, but she states that she "only reads comments of a positive nature". (i.e. only those that pity the Anthony's and believe Casey is innocent) .......

Must be the Kool-Aid....my two cents

Casey Anthony: Theories Into Caylee Anthony's Paternity

This is a re-post from earlier this am. Call it a "who hit publish" edit......... :)



Mark Hawkins

Mark Hawkins; aka Charlie Brown, is shown as a "contact" on Casey's released cell phone records.

Casey had an affair with Mark, or at least a 'one night stand', around November 2004.
Nine months later, August 9, 2005, Caylee Marie Anthony is born.
Casey attempted to hide the pregnancy from her friends, George and Cindy, Lee, practically everyone. However, it was Casey's Uncle Rick Plesea, Cindy's brother, that noticed Casey at his wedding in June '05. Rick mentioned the pregnancy to Cindy and she denied it. This later came to light again in an eruption of emails between Cindy and Rick after Caylee's disappearance. Documentation Here

Hence, the possibility Mark Hawkins being Caylee's father.

Additionally:

Mark was married to "Tara"
According to Lee's blog entries:

"Tara" had an affair with Lee Anthony, became pregnant, and had an abortion. Tara broke off the affair with Lee to return to Mark in 12/2006.
(Documented in Lee's Blog Entries )

----------------------------
Mark Hawkins also had moving violations in Florida:

June 10, 2004- careless driving

Oct 21, 2004 - failure to pay toll

Nov 13, 2004 - failure to obey traffic control device

Orange County Court Clerk Records

Mark's court records proves he was in Florida during Caylee's conception. ( November 2004)
Caylee was born August 9, 2005.

Mark left to attend boot camp March 21, 2005.

Casey Anthony

Several variations on Casey's story of who Caylee's father is, ("He" being Caylee's father):

"He was in the military and died in Iraq".= Mark is a Marine, but clearly did not die in Iraq.

"He died in an auto accident on the way to Caylee's first birthday party."
"He died in an auto accident and left behind a wife and another child." (this seems closest to real theory, sans the death part)
"Caylee was the result of a one night stand." = possibly the only truth, (unless in Casey's mind, "one night stand" means the night she got pregnant or it was a term for the entire affair, we talking about Casey here)

Statements made by Casey:

Casey: when she said she talked to "Caylee's father's wife" - a widower- she was referring to Tara.

Casey when saying Caylee's father had a wife and another child-- 'the child' was Tara being pregnant with Lee's baby.
Cindy and/or Casey/Lee covered this all up..
. Lee Anthony

Other wild speculations are that Lee is the father. That is why he did not willingly submit to DNA samples, and had to be subpoenaed for them. Casey claims that Lee did make sexual advances toward her. However, when Casey told Cindy, Casey claims Cindy didn't believe her.
There is documentation of this in "Who's Who....."
This must have been the only time Cindy never believed Casey.
theories based on research.....and are my two cents

Lee Anthony: Will Casey's Brother Soon Face Charges?


Lee Anthony

Casey Anthony, 22, sits behind bars, charged with the murder of her daughter, Caylee Marie. Now, it is reported that Casey's brother, Lee Anthony, may also face charges.

Attorney, and Lee Anthony's advisor, Thomas Luka, said that the State Attorney's Office could seek to charge Lee with obstruction of justice or aiding and abetting, even if was not Lee's intention to do so.

Video: Lee Anthony's attorney on possible charges

Video: Lee Anthony's attorney on donated money

(editor's note: listen for the slip by Luka in the 2nd video, where Luka refers to Caylee as Lee's "daughter". Luka states. "In the beginning, the public did not know who was responsible for his daughter, uh, his niece's disappearance...." slip or mistake?....my spoiled opinion)

"It's an ongoing investigation, so no one really knows where it's going to lead. Mr. Anthony obviously wants his civil rights protected. Everyone involved in the case should have their rights covered when determining what the police can and can not do or should and should not expect from the witnesses involved in this case," Luka said.

Luka adds that neither Lee nor George and Cindy Anthony have been called as witnesses in the case, but they are preparing for just such a scenario.For months Lee Anthony has been conducting his own investigation into the disappearance of Caylee, looking into leads for other suspects. Luka contends that Lee has cooperated with detectives, even handing over a DNA sample. Although, we heard it was by subpoena

Luka describes his role an advisor to Lee, in determining what he should and should not say to investigators."For that reason, he feels at this point, now that the police are focusing completely on Casey, he wants to make sure that his own civil rights are protected," Luka said.

Luka: No improprieties with donated money

Luka wanted to put to rest any "cloud of impropriety and a cloud of rumor" surrounding donated money collected by Lee Anthony connected to the search for Caylee.
Since mid-July, when Caylee was first reported missing, thousands of dollars have been donated by strangers wanting to help locate the toddler. At one point, Lee was accused of using some of those funds inappropriately."There was no impropriety. There is a cloud of impropriety and a cloud of rumor that I think has been fueled by the non-expenditure of the funds, that has been following Mr. Anthony around," Luka said. "He wants to make it clear that no money has been improperly used."Luka said financial statements from the fund were made public, linked to a memorial website in honor of Caylee.

The Anthony family has said those donations have paid for everything from flyers and T-shirts with Caylee's picture to helping Lee in his own investigation. (WTH???)

"Again, when this investigation first began, we the public did not know who was responsible for Casey's disappearance. Mr. Anthony was going under the assumption she was kidnapped. He investigated that angle first and foremost."There is still money left in the Help Find Caylee Anthony fund, but Luka would not say how much.
"As far as I know, the money will be returned to the senders or individuals who have paid it."

Who pays for Casey's defense and who profits?

As the defense team for Caylee has grown, questions have been raised as to if and how a team of high-profile forensic experts are being paid for their contributions. The kind of defense assembled by Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, typically would not come cheap. While it is unknown whether any of the experts are being paid, what is known is that if Casey is convicted of first-degree murder, it is unlikely her legal team will be raking in the dough. That would put to rest any rumors of a book or movie deal that could be in the works. So far, in addition to Baez, attorneys for the defense include Linda Kenny-Baden, famed attorney for record producer Phil Spector; Jose Luis Garcia; Jonathen Casen; and Mike Walsh. If the prosecution should seek the death penalty, Terance Lenamon could join the defense. There are also several scientific experts working the case for the defense.

"Are you going to do what is best in Ms. Anthony's interest, or what's going to get you on TV the most?" asked criminal defense attorney Richard Hornsby, citing one of the many questions posed to Baez by people who have been closely following the case.
Under Florida law, Baez would not be able to tell or sell his story for profit if his client is convicted, based on attorney-client privileges.

"If Ms. Anthony is convicted of anything, Mr. Baez and anybody who has worked on his defense will never be able to publicly speak about either what she said, what she talked about or how their defense was prepared. If they did, they could be sued," added Hornsby.
If Casey is acquitted of charges and she were to grant permission to Baez, then and only then could he make money from the case. Hornsby said any money-making deal is not due-diligence for Casey.

"Unless their people are truly doing this pro bono, there is probably some questionable things that have gone on regarding compensation," Hornsby said.

It is important to note that at the time of this post, there had been no formal complaints filed against Baez about how he and his defense team are getting paid in their representation of Casey Anthony.

Waves of Change
Current mood: grateful
Category: Life
As each new wave comes crashing onto shore the tide pulls another one back. Constantly reshaping, but never faltering. Never is one wave given enough time to linger, to hold onto the shore for more than the tide will allow it. Tides of change can be unforgiving, but they are necessary. My tides of change have yielded a wide range of emotion and experiences. Some too hard to let go, and some that I can finally say I am glad to have been washed away. Sometimes the water can start out so warm and inviting, yet in the end of it all, it can prove to be cold and sickening. I'm encouraged by the skyline I see before me. I'm intrigued by the stars aligned above me. As I lay here and stare I think of all the good things now, and not the harsh memories of soured experiences. Indeed I've finally been able to let go of some of the burdens and misfortunes that seemed to plague my life recently. I've learned that you cannot let other things in this world plague your existence. You must stand up and fight for what you believe in, even if everything around you makes it seem as if you will never be victorious. You need to fight because every day has a night, and every night yearns a new day. A new day to conquer your dreams and overcome any obstacle. But you choose to fight through the day, and carry yourself through the night. Tomorrow will indeed be another day, and when I get there I will not forsake it. I will not let it pass me by. Just as important, I will not forget what it took to get me to this day. Every day, and every night before this one. I've struggled, I've bled, I've cried, I've laughed, I've loved, I've failed, and I've triumphed. I've lived.

Today I recognize how I've lived, and I take another step towards living for today.

To All of You
Current mood: grateful
Category: Friends

You can't get it off of my face. I can't stop. It's been so long...I've missed smiling. I feel so good this evening. I feel as if everything is actually starting to settle in fully now. Ups, downs...hell who am I kidding...it seems as if lately all I've been getting were the downs. A good friend of mine said something to me this weekend that means a lot. I said something to the effect of 'what else could possibly go wrong for me right now.' He replied that everything is good with my family and nothing has happened to them. I didn't pay it any mind, but did acknowledge that would not be good. Well, what Brian said has sunk in. Maybe not the way he intended it, but it has truly touched a nerve. Over the past week or so I've had so many great discussions, or encounters, with what I will say to be the most amazing group of friends that anyone could ever ask for. Casey, Mom, Dad, Nathalie, Brian, Fred, Anthony, Michelle, Sandra, Audra, Jody, Michele, Mary, Emily, Jason, Avey, Tim, Chuck, Tina, Melany, Kelly, Sara, Foyil, Amanda, Emilee, Andres, Josh, Anne, Mallory, Tibby, Tasha, Taylor, Lora, Melissa, and countless others. If I missed you there, I apologize... Every effort on your part over the past week or so has had an amazing impact on my direction and where I'm at right now. In one way or another, as small as our exchange may have been...or as involved and in depth it may have been...I cannot thank you enough for showing how much you truly care about how I'm doing. Whether it's working through my relationship drama, offering shelter during my lodging drama, offering a reference, or hell, even a job during my employment drama...my god, just offering an ear for me to vent to. It means the world to me. Sometimes in life things happen as a wake up call. I think I'm getting mine. Hell, I'm tearing up writing this right now. Sometimes when you get too high on yourself, or think everything is great...you get knocked on your ass. I've been cocky, I've been arrogant. I've taken things, situations, and sometimes people for granted. The people that I mentioned above...my family...my god I'm crying now... Thank you. I needed this today. I needed this wake up call. But I needed to smile so much more. It feels so good to finally get something that makes me feel good and that makes me smile.

F**k You
Current mood: irate
Category: Romance and Relationships

Was I supposed to let it go? I hear a bunch of moans and groans out there amongst the people that care about me. Is he seriously gonna go there...again?!? You know, at this point, I may have a right to. It doesn't even come down to being the bigger person or letting the shit go. It's obvious that your life has been so twisted and torn from the beginning that you've been ed up beyond repair. Imagine it, you sane people in blog land, because this shit is just bouncing right off of her naive sense of self worth, imagine going through life clinging, every second, to anything, and god knows, f**king anything that will eve f**kn remotely acknowledge you. Imagine, feeling so worthless and helpless that when someone shows you an ounce of interest, you jump on it because you cannot fathom what true self respect or self worth is. Imagine, having a husband...separating from him...finding a boyfriend that cares for you endlessly...leave the boyfriend to go back to the husband as you come to find out you're carrying the boyfriend's child...lie to the husband that the child is his and proceed to get a divorce and cut all ties...neglect the relationship with the boyfriend because you "didn't know what to say to" him, and further sabotage it because you will only speak to him "now or never." Neglect the relationship to the point of having an abortion without the boyfriend knowing any of this was even going on...then, travel to Michigan to find the next husband to be...because, remember, anyone that will love you, must be worth it. Just throw it all away, for a different situation, not even a better one...unless better means less complex. Hahahaha. Are you serious? The perfect husband and son? The perfect family? Here's some news for you 'princess', the perfect family suggests the sums of all the parts to indeed be perfect as well. And though, I've only seen the pictures you've most whorishly portrayed (yeah, a little over the top on my comments, but f**k you), he could be a great guy after you get past the snaggle tooth and dorky appearance. Here it comes, the big come back, 'Oh, dorky? At least he doesn't love Star Wars.' Well you know what bitch? At least I don't live in Michigan, last I checked they were runner up to the best school in the nation...OSU. Again, cheap shot...nothing to do with anything. Here's the point. Ever since I met you all you could do is wonder and talk about what other people thought of you. It was amusing at first, something I remember going through in...oh...well...f**king high school?!?...yeah...well...as much sense as it makes now...I didn't put two and two together at that juncture...I suppose I was still enjoying the f**king sessions during Sunday football when my friends were in the living room...or the blow jobs on the couch... Anyways...again off topic? You'll have to excuse me, I'm not as centered or focused as you seem to be these days. I mean, my current situation with work, and my apt, and even past girls (eh hem) are well documented...but seeing as how you can go through a divorce, boyfriend, abortion, and engagement all in the matter of a month and a half and still say everything in the world is fabulous...hey, I suppose deep down I envy you. Hahahahaha, wait, holy shit...that didn't go over well did it? No one believed that one did they? OK, let's try this on for size. Not only do I not envy you, I dispise you. Everything you've said or done over the past few weeks have been nothing short than to lie and manipulate yourself into the life that you've been seeking. A life, apparently showen through your actions, of denial and 'stability' which you would describe as a husband and a place to call home. Hahaha. You're a moron and undeserving of anything righteous or respectable in this world. I hold your memory as bitter as I hold an encounter with a bum on the street. You say you're happy, you say it's the perfect life, the perfect family...well help the rest of the sane world and stay there. My prayer...my prayer was once to realize what was truly taken away from me. Now, it's to never be burdened with any form of compassion for your undeserving soul, ever again.

You want closure?
How's this for closure.
F**k you Tara.
I hope you freeze to death in michigan.
Too harsh? Yeah, well, bitch deserves it.

***************************************
Let's recall Mark Hawkins. Our Marine who at one time was in California. (to whom some of us suspected Casey was going to bolt to during the "give me one more day" plea to Cindy on the 911 tapes)

It appears that Mark Hawkins' ex is the "Tara" mentioned in one of the jail visitation videos between Cindy and Casey-when Cindy asked "Do you trust Tara" and Casey says "NO! She's a psycho!"


Mark Hawkins

According to Lee's blogs and other sources, apparently, Tara was pregnant by Lee and went back to Mark and told Mark the baby was his. She then got an abortion, never told Lee, divorced Mark, and is now in Michigan with yet another man, possibly her now husband. I have also read that Casey, before all of this, had an affair with Mark which resulted in Caylee.

You can't make this family's sh*t up .........my two cents

Casey Anthony and One Tree Hill; Did TV Show Provide "Nanny Plot"?

It is being reported that investigators are looking at whether a popular TV show may have provided Casey Anthony with the inspiration she needed to create a story about Caylee’s disappearance.

Computer records show Casey did a Google search for "One Tree Hill's” 100th episode, right before Caylee disappeared.

That episode just happens to be about a nanny kidnapping a child.

Legal analyst Bill Sheaffer believes this could be a critical piece of evidence the state will use in this case against Casey.

“The story of the plot line is so similar and that is the story she originally came out (with). And it’s the story she continues and continues to stick with,” said Sheaffer.

In March, three months before Caylee disappeared, Casey’s computer records show she was researching how to make chloroform, household weapons, and neck breaking.
In between those searches Casey was looking up the 100th episode of “One Tree Hill.”
“It goes to serve two issues: one premeditation for the death of the child and two, it serves as a basis for this incredible story that the imaginary babysitter kidnapped and killed the child,” said Sheaffer.

Casey told investigators the nanny, Zenaida Gonzales, kidnapped Caylee. Detectives said they will definitely look into the information and this will most likely help in the case against Casey.

Anthony's Spend First Christmas Without Caylee; Casey Spends Christmas In Jail, Alone

While the Anthony family spends its first Christmas without Caylee, dozens of needy children are enjoying hundreds of gifts donated in the slain toddler's honor.

Cindy Anthony told reporters she was not yet ready to talk on camera, but confirmed via text message she plans to donate additional toys mourners are leaving at the growing memorial where Caylee’s remains were discovered.

The first batch of toys was given to 85 needy children staying at the Orlando Rescue Mission. On Christmas morning, the children played with the gifts near the Christmas tree, which still had leftover gifts underneath.

The shelter said the leftover gifts will be saved for birthdays and other events in the future.

Now that the Orlando Rescue Mission has more gifts than it can use at the moment, Cindy Anthony said she plans to donate additional toys left at her granddaughter’s memorial to other charities in need.

Casey Anthony woke up in an Orange County jail cell on Christmas morning.

Unless she accepts a visit from a jail chaplain, Casey Anthony will spend the holiday alone, as records show no family members have signed up to visit the mother charged with her daughter’s murder.

For Christmas dinner, Casey Anthony will dine on roast beef with gravy, buttered mashed potatoes, creamed corn, bread, and a baked apple crisp for desert.

The meal costs 82 cents.

Girl Resembling Caylee Anthony Visits Memorial Site

People are still visiting Caylee Anthony's memorial site to grieve and to mourn the precious little girl's life. Toys, notes, balloons and stuffed animals are still being placed at the site.

At one moment, onlookers and visitors were touched deeply as a little girl, with a noticeable resemblance to Caylee, visited the site and offered condolences with her mother.

Also, the Anthony's' family lawyer, Brad Conway, said that reports of the Anthony's seeking donations for Caylee's funeral expenses are incorrect.

"It is important that people's kind donations of hard-earned money during difficult times go toward their intended wishes," said attorney Brad Conway. "All money currently held in any account dedicated to finding Caylee will be given to an as-yet-undetermined nonprofit organization devoted to finding missing children."
Conway also announced the family's plans for a public memorial service. A date is unscheduled as of this time.

Casey Anthony-Why a Mother Might Kill Her Child

Is Casey Anthony capable of murder?

On Wednesday, Christmas Eve, even NBC's morning show, "Today" wasn't taking a break from the headline-making case.
Guest Pat Brown, criminal profiler, joined Ann Curry for an interview regarding the case. The discussion helped answer the question why a mother might kill her child.

Ann Curry asked about Casey Anthony's behavor -- such as partying -- before and after her daughter Caylee's disappearance.

"I wouldn't call this inappropriate behavior," criminal profiler Pat Brown said. "I'd call it evidence of psychopathy. The fact that she lies constantly. The fact that she has no empathy for that missing child, has no interest in that missing child, shows a person that didn't really care about another human being. Is she capable of therefore doing something to that child? Absolutely."

Brown, who stressed that she's not a forensic psychologist, noted that a psychopath knows what she's doing. Brown said she couldn't call Casey Anthony a psychopath in court, but added that the young mother exhibited psychopathic tendencies. Brown theorized that Casey had fooled former fiance Jesse Grund.

"The fiance -- he's one of those who got caught in Casey's net," Brown said. "What happens with a person with a psychopathic personality is that they will act in a certain way according to what it will get them."

A psychopath would use a baby as an object to get attention, Brown theorized. But when that child grows older and gets in the way, a psychopath "would easily cut that person loose," Brown said. "That's what the fiance is confused about."

Casey's Christmas in Jail: Roast Beef, Gifts, and Candy Canes, Too

Casey Anthony will not be allowed to attend the funeral of her daughter, Caylee Anthony, whom Casey is charged with first degree murder.

The fact that Casey is charged with a capital felony (murder), it is unlikely that Casey will have privileges to attend even if her defense motions the court for a special request.



AS OF 12/23/08 7PM: Casey has not petitioned the court for special permission to attend the funeral, nor has plans to. In a statement from her defense, Casey will not attend the funeral or memorial, because she does not want to be the "center of attention", or have the service be turned into a media spectacle...
out of respect for Caylee at this time, I will refrain from commenting on this statement.

However, Casey will be having a Christmas dinner of Roast beef, mashed potatoes and bread. She will also receive gifts which include candy canes, socks and a pocket calendar.


Casey will receive
candy canes as Christmas gift

Caylee Anthony would have been enjoying her 4th Christmas as an energetic 3 year old. The perfect age to begin realizing the meaning of Christmas as Jesus' birthday, waiting for Santa, and all the traditions.
Instead, there will be a funeral held after the second autopsy of her remains. It is alleged Caylee succumbed at the hands of her own mother, Casey, on or around June 15, 2008, a month and a half shy of Caylee's third birthday.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Caylee's remains have been moved to a funeral home.

Judge Orders Photos and X-rays of Caylee's Remains To Be Turned Over To Defense

A judge ordered prosecutors Tuesday to turn over photos and X-rays of the remains of Caylee Anthony to defense attorneys for her mother, who is charged with murdering the toddler.

Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland granted the request by defense attorneys who say those and other items, such as microscopic slides and autopsy reports, are needed so defense experts can conduct their own autopsy. Last week, the chief medical examiner in Orlando ruled the death a homicide, but said how Caylee Anthony died may never be known.

Caylee was two when she went missing in the summer, but her remains were not found until this month. Her mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged with the murder.

The attorney for the toddler's grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, said a public memorial service will be held for the little girl. The grandparents planned to hold a private service and a public memorial for Caylee, said attorney Brad Conway.

Conway said the service won't be held until after a second autopsy on the remains is conducted.

A jail spokesman said Casey Anthony will not be able to attend a funeral or viewing for her daughter, due to her charges and the associated safety and security risks.

Caylee's remains have been moved to a funeral home according to reports on Tuesday afternoon.
