The babysitter who, according to mother Casey Anthony, allegedly abducted little Caylee Anthony, has been located by authorities. Casey alleges that on or about June 9, 2008, she dropped Caylee off at Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez’s residence at the Sawgrass Apartments, a babysitter she claims to have used frequently. Casey claims Gonzalez kidnapped Caylee, who remains at large.
Alleged Babysitter Located
The only Zenaida Gonzalez having any sort of contact with the Sawgrass Apartments was questioned by law enforcement. Authorities are certain she has nothing to do with the case or Caylee’s disappearance. In addition, after viewing photographs of Gonzalez, Casey claims the woman found was not the Gonzalez with whom she left Caylee. Casey proclaims there are several women with the name of Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez and authorities are not following up on leads she has provided.
Gonzalez’s Life in Ruins
In the meantime, Zenaida Gonzalez’s name has been plastered all over the media. She has not been able to work because no one wants to hire a suspected kidnapper. Gonzalez believes she is being looked at suspiciously by everyone that learns her name and claims Casey Anthony has made her life is a mess. Gonzalez says even if people do not know her face, her name creates the assumption that she did something wrong.
Gonzalez claims to have never met Casey or Caylee and did not even know about the case until investigators visited her. Interestingly, Gonzalez had toured the Sawgrass Apartments shortly before Caylee disappeared. Gonzalez filled out a guest card as an interested renter, but never moved into the complex. The Sawgrass Apartments is the same apartment complex that Casey claims she left Caylee, and subsequently named Gonzalez as the babysitter living there. This has caused some to speculate that Casey may have garnered Gonzalez’ name from the guest card she filled out or overheard Gonzalez’s name when Casey made her own visit to the apartment complex.
Cindy Anthony Supports Caylee’s Story
Once again, Caylee’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony backs Casey’s story and believes there are nine other Zenaida Hernandez-Gonzalez’s in the area. Cindy asserts that the police have not been diligent in locating these women. Cindy also claims she heard her daughter Casey mention Gonzalez as Caylee’s babysitter over two years ago—a statement Cindy is willing to back up with a polygraph test.
Jose Baez, Casey’s attorney, also claims that the Zenaida Gonzalez found was not the same woman that had babysat Caylee. Baez believes that the public have written Casey off as having done something terrible to Caylee, yet there is no actual evidence this is what occurred. He claims the family is getting extremely frustrated and feels no one is looking for Caylee.
