Casey Anthony's Mom: "Jesus Christ, What Died?"

Casey Anthony's Mom: "Jesus Christ, What Died?"

Friday, November 7, 2008

Could Caylee Anthony's grandparents have confused the smell of human remains with something else?

According to documents released yesterday, Casey Anthony's father George admitted "I had bad vibes the very first day when I got that car." He's referring to picking up his daughter's Pontiac after granddaughter Caylee's disappearance.

And, of course, there was that smell. Anthony's wife Cindy was immediately struck by the stench. "After," he says, "we pulled inside the garage. Her exact words were, 'Jesus Christ what died?'" George told police.

Anthony, a former investigator himself, admitted he was concerned about an odor emanating from the trunk of Casey's car and told detectives he was familiar with the smell of death.

"I've been around that stuff, I mean the law enforcement stuff. We caught people out in the woods, out in a house in a car. So I know what it smells like. It's a smell that you never ... get rid of. When I first went there to pick up that vehicle, I got within three feet of it I could smell something." Back in August Cindy made a reference to a rotting pizza that had allegedly caused the foul odor in the trunk. At one point -- the transcripts say -- both the Anthonys tried to convince themselves the smell had come from a pizza in the trunk.

"I've never smelled pizza that smelled like a decaying body," Los Angeles Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Paul Gliniecki told momlogic. "The smell of decomposing flesh is so distinctive that there is nothing in nature that even comes close to mirroring the scent, not even the smell of a sewer." Anthony's assessment of the smell is probably accurate, says Dr. Gliniecki. "It's not a smell you encounter very often. George Anthony, in all probability, did smell a decomposing body."

Yet, according to the transcripts Anthony -- at least back in July -- still had hope his granddaughter was alive. "I don't want to believe that I have, have raised someone, and brought someone in this world that could do something to another person. I don't want to believe that."

Meanwhile, this weekend, in what's expected to be the largest search in U.S. history, 4,000 volunteers will descend on the Orlando area searching for Caylee, who is believed by most to be dead.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in connection with her daughter's disappearance.

I can fully understand their reluctance to believe that Caylee was dead. What parent can admit to themselves that their child could do such a thing. In their hearts, I’m sure the fear was always there, that Caylee wasn’t coming back. But how do you get through the day if you don’t hold onto at least a thread of hope that it isn’t true. My heart goes out to them.

I think that the detectives were too easy on Casey in the interviewing process. They should have scared the living day lights out of her until she confessed.

Barbara, You are right. Casey Anthony is definitely a SOCIOPATH but so is Cindy Anthony….and she has everyone fooled. Right now Sociopathic Cindy is “playing dumb and pretending to be in denial” and is performing like only sociopathic monsters can do. There is more to Cindy Anthony than the public knows. George didn’t even want to go back hom. He will face Cindy’s wrath. Lee is definitely the father of Caylee and that will probably come out in trial too.

The Psychopath killed the child and had her decomposing in the trunk of her call for some time beforer throwing her away in a trash bag. The electric chair is too kind for this ruthless monster. She should spend the remainder of her life in a small cell with dripping water and no communication with the other inmates. Cindy Anthony is a sociopath and knows alot more than she is letting on. She is a big performer.

Good morning. Vegetarianism is harmless enough, though it is apt to fill a man with wind and self-righteousness. I am from Brunei and too poorly know English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “When jung reduced total, avon was renovated with working ingredients and a animal lower-priced comparison.” Thank you so much for your future answers :(.

Casey Anthony needs to just tell The real truth….It looks like she is going to prison for life regardless. Just let the world have what really happened. and God already knows and so does she. Who doesn’t keep up with a 2 yr. old. It’s a mothers duty. You were given her as a gift and youve insulted the giver. Shame on you and confess so you can learn something in this life of yours. Life does go by fast, One day you will probably wish that little girl were here, especially when you’ve grown old. It can be lonely
