The Dysfunctional Anthony Family Dynamic

Casey Anthony's grandmother offers new insight into the Anthony family fights.

The Anthony family might be the winners of the dysfunctional family award. Fighting, enabling and finger-pointing seem to be status quo for the Orlando, Florida clan.
According to transcripts from an August 21, 2008 interview with law enforcement, Casey's grandmother Shirley Plesea summed up the dynamic between Casey, her daughter and her mother. "I just wonder if she hated her mom more than she loved Caylee," she said. This triangulation has often been thought by armchair detectives to be the motive for Casey to murder Caylee. 
And Plesea's description of the relationship doesn't come out of nowhere. It's been well documented that Casey and Cindy don't see eye-to-eye. Most of the friction stemmed from Caylee. Casey, according to witnesses, never wanted Caylee, but Cindy refused to let her put her up for adoption. Creating more bad blood, according to various witness testimony, is that Cindy, not Casey, was the first to hold newborn Caylee at the hospital. Plesea also said that Cindy often spoke of trying to get custody of Caylee. 
Ordinarily in families, there's always a certain amount of "push and pull" when it comes to raising children. "It is natural in families for there to be competition as to who is the key parental figure," says psychiatrist Dr. Eva Ritvo, M.D. "It's a very powerful position to be a parent. A healthy family will work collaboratively." 
No one would ever call the Anthony family healthy. 
According to Plesea, Casey also stole thousands of dollars from various family members including herself. George and Cindy at one time almost lost their home because of the massive debt Casey had accrued. Remarkably, the family never pressed charges against Casey. 
Do you think the dysfunction of the Anthony family played a part in the tragic death of little Caylee?

If I had five minutes with Casey I would beat the information out of her. Her stupid parents need to kick the crap out of her and find out the real truth. Enough is enough. Where the heck is the stupid FBI with the forensics? They should have that info by now. She is so guilty it is ridiculous. 5 minutes is all I ask.

Cindy Anthony is not in on anything. She is the STUPIDEST person that I have ever seen though. Her and husband George are enablers. They enabled Casey and believed her lies for years and years. They are in denial that their lying theiving tramp of a daughter could possible harm their grandchild. But I believe that Casey did harm Caylee and her stupid parents still don't get it. They are in fact, morons. Possibly the dumbest parents in history.

Why did George not apply for a job with the police in Florida? It would pay much more than a security officer.Was George fired in Ohio or did he retire?

Rick's response> Cindy wanted George to go into the car business with his dad. His dad had a nice used car lot that did pretty well. The only thing was George couldn't get along with his dad. Within the first year they got into a fight at the lot and George put his father through a plate glass window. George was asked to leave. George then started his own used car lot as he bought up a small one a few miles from his dad's. He second mortgaged his and Cindy's home and when the lot went under they lost their home in Niles, Ohio. They then moved to Florida and assumed a mortgage at their present location. This is 100 percent true.I know them personally. Believe me they are really stupid.

mom21 wrote:<quoted text>seriously? what was the name of George's dealership?
Ricks response - His father's was Antony's Auto Sales in downtown Niles. George's was on Youngstown-Warren road in Niles near McKinley Plaza.It only lasted a year at best. I believe he named it George Anthony's car lot. Cindy thought having a car dealership would make them a lot of money. She had a nursing degree at that time but didn't use it until they lost their home in Niles. She had worked for Dr. Sterle in Howland as his lead nurse. She got a good job in Orlando working for a doctors clinic that had the Orlando Magic as clients.

Ricks response- You are wrong. George quit to work for his dad as Cindy talked him into it. His dad was going to retire in a few years but George and him could not get along and they fought at the dealership. George hurt his dad by pushing him through a plate glass window. I know this for a fact.

Cindy was going to file for custody of Caylee. Casey and Cindy were fighting before all this happened. Casey had stolen money from Cindy's mom and dad and Cindy was fed up with Casey's behavior. Cindy went to a counselor and the counselor told Cindy to kick Casey out. Cindy was worried that Casey would take Caylee with her. The counselor told Cindy to file for custody. Casey took Caylee to punish Cindy. That is what Cindy thought for a few weeks anyway. Casey would not produce Caylee or let her talk with Cindy. Cindy only tracked Casey down when they found that the car had been towed and they retrieved the car. Cindy called all of the phone numbers of Casey's friends to locate her. Her friend Amy said she knew where Casey was as Casey had just picked her up at the airport the night before. Cindy wondered how Casey could do that without a car. Amy said she let Casey use her car when she was gone for a whole week. Casey stole $700 from Amy too. Casey has stolen over $25,000 from her mom and dad through credit cards. Cindy had to go into her 401K from work to pay off all the bills. That is why the Anthony's were behind on some payments. I know all of this because I know the Anthonys and Cindy's mother. I talk to Cindy's mother once a week.

check out how sad caylee is at the nursing home, clinging to g. grandpa....She looks terrified! Also, for the past 2 years when Casey would leave home to "go to work" where the heck did she go with Caylee in tow? Did she just drive around untilparents were either at work or asleep. If she got fired 2 years agol where does she goe when she pretends to "go to work" Have you ever been in a nursing home/ I visited Cindy's dad in that nursing home. The peopleare very nice but to a little child they look scary. My grandmother used to work at a county home for old people and I was terrified when I had to go with my mom and dad to visit her. I liked seeing my grandmother but not in that place.She worked a lot and that was the onlytime it seemed we could see her. It is scary for a little child.

Countrygirl wrote: Rick, if you're in Niles (or close) then you should know that while Officer Anthony was employed by the sheriff's department, Dr. Sudimack was coroner. Do you remember his legacy? I was born in Warren and raised in Vienna, I remember the years well. My grandparents knew the elder Anthony's and the car lot.was just a smokescreen. I have two uncles, both from Niles who were on WPD, one 'retired' early, one worked for several years. You and I both know that this family and their roots stink.
Ricks response>I grew up in Warren and knew of Dr. Sudimack. I also know that Cindy talked George into going in with his dad so George could inherit the business. It never happened as George lost his temper with his dad and put him though a plate glass window on the lot. End of George and the thought of inheriting a good car business. By the way,one of George's sisters married a car dealer in Austintown. They are doing very well.Cindy was a bit envious of the way his sister lived and wanted the good life for herself.

Ricks response> The fight was about Casey stealing money from her grandparents. She stole a check for $354 from her granddad's nursing home account that even Cindy's mom couldn't cash.The bank had to reimburse Cindy's dad's account. Cindy's mom wanted the bank to press charges but Cindy somehow got Casey out of it. That is what the fight was about. They had just visited Cindy's dad on fathers day. Cindy's mom was very unhappy with Cindy for not doing something about Casey. Cindy and Casey got into it. Big blowup that the neighbors overheard.Cindy and George were at work when Casey tried to call them.They weren't on vacation.

I washoping the FBI would finally get the forensic info back before this stupid bounty hunted got her out of jail. I just couldn't take it anymore. I have given you all I know and what I have given you is 100% correct. Don't believe anything that George and Cindy say as they are in total denial. Cindy's mom is very sick over this. Her health wasn't very good to start with and this will probably kill her when they find Caylee if she isn't alive. The Anthony's are not living in reality. They believe they crap that Casey is saying even though she has never told them the truth. Casey was seven months pregnant and she lied and said she had just gained a few pounds. Her belly was extended and her belly button was sticking out over a half an inch. She finally was forced to the doctors after I told Cindy that she is either pregnant or is going to die from a tumor the size of  a baby. They believed her because she said she never ever had sex. What a liar.

Here is one more thing for you guys if you already haven't guesed it yet. The guy that Casey says is the father that died in the car crash is all baloney too. He is Hispanic and his mother says that he never ever spoke of even knowing Casey. Calee has no Hispanic traits. Casey told Cindy this story to get Cindy off of her back about who the father might be. Cindy bought it hook, line and sinker.

dots wrote: Rick you input is greatly appreciated. So many rumors and bits of speculation are floating around that to have a few 'definites' has a stabilizing, albeit ditsurbing effect.So, Casey is just a spoiled Princess with no boundaries, who learned to lie at an early age and found out her lying would be rewarded with attention. That Cindy continues to believe the lies is startling and had she done what the therapist told her to do, Caylee would be safe at home and we would never have heard of the Anthonys. I have a few questions that you may be able to answer, if you are so inclined: It has been reported that Cindy and George filed for divorce in 2005 and then terminated the proceedings in 2007. Know anything about this? A couple of bankruptcies involving a Cindy and George Anthony have been uncovered. Same question.
Has Casey ever received mental health counseling? Was Casey EVER a 'good' mother, attentive, nurtuing, loving? Since Cindy already knew to toss her out and get custody, do you have any idea why Cindy d id not report Caylee's absence long before July 15th? If there are bits of truth to every lie of Casey's, is she 'giving clues' or just weaving tales? Was Cindy prone to lying or making exaggerated claims before Caylee disappeared? George? Thanks for any answers.
Ricks response
Cindy filed for divorce because George had an online gambling habit that nearly ended their marriage. He ran up thousands of dollars gambling. They lost their first home from the bankrupt car lot that George second mortgaged their home on. As far as I know, Casey never was mentally evaluated. Cindy thought Casey was punishing her for the fight and thought Casey was just holding Caylee away from see her. It took finding the car had been towed and impounded to light a fire under her **** to find her. Cindy never told her family very much unless it was exagerated because it was something good. It turns out most of Casey's job assignments were exagerated or down right falsehoods.

Matthew-Bartlett-Appeal-Denied

Motion For Mistrial, (Again)

Judge Perry is handing a stack of papers to attorneys. Judge Perry just asked Cheney Mason if they were going to call Miss Anthony up. Mason said no we're not. I think Judge Perry was speaking of Cindy Anthony.  Jury is sent back to hotel. Mason wants to renew motion for mistrial. Judge Perry denies it. Mason says state has "mythically theory" Caylee Anthony  died from duct tape or poisoning. Mason says all state has proven is Casey Anthony told many falsehoods about Caylee Anthony. Mason says in all 360+ pieces of evidence elements of murder, aggravated child abuse or aggravated manslaughter not proven.   Mason says no evidence of chloroform poisoning. Mason again asks for acquittal of counts 1,2, and 3. State says jury should make this decision.  State says there is sufficient evidence for all 3 counts. Judge denies motion for acquittal. 
casey anthony


Judge denies motion for acquittal. So on Sunday it'll go state, defense, state. Judge Perry also said multiple attorneys will give closing arguments. 

Sandra Osborne, an OCSO computer examiner.


Sandra Osborne is called to stand.      Osborne was asked to search for chlorophyll, hand sanitizer and bamboo.
Osborne says she only found 1 reference to "chlorophyll" and it was in a dictionary file.Osborne says she found no reference to bamboo as a possible poisonous substance. Found bamboo figurines, flooring, and tiki bars. There is talk of bamboo because Cindy Anthony testified she thought her dogs were eating bamboo leaves and getting sleepy. Hand sanitizer never appeared. but bamboo did -- bamboo flooring, bamboo furniture, figurines, but no bamboo as it relates to dogs...

Yuri Mellich, OCSO, Lead Detective.


Det. Yuri Melich should be the last witness in state's rebuttal case. This is Yuri Melich's 8th time on the stand in this trial. Melich is looking over home phone records for the Anthony home.   

Melich said there were no calls from Cindy Anthony to George Anthony during the week of June 16, 2008.  There were also no calls from the Anthony home to George's cell phone during that time period.  He also said there were no calls from Cindy's cell to George's cell during that time frame.
Jose Baez asked Melich if he was aware George had more than one cell phone, Melich said no.  He was never asked to look at cell phone records of George Anthony's work phone.
