Caylee Anthony’s birthday has come and gone as she remains a missing person and the mystery surrounding her disappearance continues to be a topic of interest. Although authorities publicly state they have Caylee’s DNA, they will not comment on where it was obtained—Casey’s car trunk, her closet, or some other item. Many speculate it was retrieved from Casey Anthony’s car—the vehicle she abandoned that Caylee’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony believed smelled like a dead body when she called 911.
Just over a week ago, Casey’s car was searched using a cadaver dog who indicated the foul smell was the scent of a dead body. Law enforcement also found dirt, an unknown stain, and hairs in the trunk.
Cindy Anthony Blames the Media for Caylee’s Continued Absence
While the public ponders over the recent information regarding DNA results, Cindy Anthony claims the media will be responsible if Caylee is not found. She argues the media is purely speculating on what happened and only showing clips of what they think the public wants to see by sensationalizing Casey Anthony’s actions and little Caylee’s disappearance.
In a public statement directed at the media, Cindy Anthony proclaimed, “You guys are the ones that are gonna’ be responsible if Caylee is not found and she is not back to us by her 3rd birthday.” A reporter challenged Cindy’s statement by saying that Casey should be more cooperative with the police, to whom Cindy retorted, “Casey has been cooperative. You guys have not been down here. There’s [sic] no expert witnesses coming to interview my daughter or speaking with us.”
Cindy Anthony’s Guilt
It has been speculated that Casey Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy, are in denial about what happened to their granddaughter because the awful truth would be too much to bear—which may be that Casey actually had something to do with Caylee’s disappearance. It might be easier for the Anthony family to delude themselves into believing Casey’s convoluted story rather than face the fact that Caylee may never return home.
Cindy Anthony may bear the brunt of parental guilt because she was the person who telephoned 911 to report Caylee’s disappearance, indicating Casey may be involved. Thus, although justified, she might feel guilt-ridden about making the call that put Casey behind bars. Therefore, Cindy continues to proclaim Casey’s innocence to the press stating, “We have learned a lot over the last few weeks speaking with her [Casey] either by phone or whatever.” Cindy Anthony claims Casey has painted an accurate picture of what happened to Caylee and Cindy now thinks she has a good understanding of what happened. Therefore, it is unlikely Cindy and George will ever believe that Casey’s actions resulted in Caylee’s disappearance, even if DNA evidence of Caylee’s demise are found.
