Yes, I think Cindy could and did.
On July 15, 2008, I think Cindy initially bought Casey's story of the nanny kidnapping Caylee. But the next day, July 16, 2008, when she learned that Casey had been arrested for child neglect, lying to a LE, and obstruction of justice, she knew then that Caylee was dead.
Cindy was in full cover-up mode by Friday, July 18th, just two days later. She and George did their first sit-down interview with a local reporter. In that interview, Cindy spoke of things we wouldn't learn about for a few more weeks.........how they child-proofed their home, locking tools in the shed and even Casey didn't have the key........how Casey was always using a shovel to dig out weeds in the backyard so Caylee wouldn't hurt her feet on stickers.
None of this made any sense until a few weeks later when we learned about the shed being broken into, and about Casey borrowing a shovel from the neighbor on July 18, 2008. When I heard about the shed being broken into and Casey borrowing the shovel, I thought back to that strange first interview and realized that Cindy was in cover-up mode then, just a couple of days after Casey's initial arrest.
So, I think both George and Cindy knew Caylee was dead on July 16, 2008. That's when they began covering up for Casey. I think by early November of 2008, Cindy knew that Caylee's remains were close to their home, in the woods near the school. I think Cindy got this information directly from Casey, but only the general area, not the exact spot. I think DC and the psychics were merely a ruse to filter this information through. I think the plan was to find the remains and permanently dispose of them before LE found them.
In late December 2008 after Caylee's remains had been found, Yuri served a search warrant at the Anthony home, and at that time Cindy told Yuri.........."I sent someone there (where the remains were found) a month ago and nothing was there." So she confirmed then that she knew where the remains were, and that she had sent someone to find them.
I think we can all guess what would have happened if DC had found Caylee's remains before Roy Kronk.
Respectfully Quoted Leila :cool2:
Yeah, I find it really easy to agree with all that you said. :thumb:
Cindy needs/needed other people to think/know Casey is innocent. If it was always about looking like she has a perfect family, then she had to go into "cover up mode" for Casey. Many WSers speculated that Cindy went into cover up mode as soon as she got the car and did her cleaning and washing of evidence. I believe that more now than ever.
If the cover up began as soon as the car was brought back from the tow yard, and we know Cindy had already "smelled the smell"(even to go so far as to speak to her co-workers about it, IIRC): so what was she thinking was the smell? I was of the mind that she knew someone had been dead in Casey's car but was willing to say she probably didn't think it was Caylee.
But now, I am thinking about how George(when at the tow yard opening the trunk)said to himself "please don't let this be my Caylee." So, George at least, upon smelling the car as he sat in the front-was afraid to open the trunk(he asked the tow guy to open it with him)because he was afraid that the missing Caylee plus smell he was smelling equaled dead Caylee in the trunk. George took the car home and then went to work. That was when Cindy cleaned.
When Cindy called 911 and spoke of the smell in the damn car and Caylee missing, did she think then it was Caylee who had been in the trunk? I have a file not found when I think about that, I don't know why I have no thought about that and I am really asking. Huh. :waitasec:
So, you wonder what Cindy was thinking or who Cindy was thinking was the cause of the death smell in the car as she was cleaning it? If she did have the "some other dead person" thought, it wasn't enough in her mind to call 911 about that, right? Or didn't she really think she was smelling human decomp. Again, I think George really knew he was smelling human decomp, once he opened the trunk and did not see Caylee(or Casey, he was afraid it could be either one of them) he said he felt relieved. But, as with my question about Cindy: they had smelled the smell and couldn't unsmell it, they may have convinced themselves it was not Caylee but still: who did they think it was?
RG asked George if it wasn't Caylee(he had smelled in the trunk) then who was it? George said, I don't know.
Now, because of the DC emails I wonder if it was Cindy that had the idea of a "drug deal" gone bad. Casey loaning her car to the wrong person and they did something illegal. The connections I am seeing are in my head but hard for me to get out right now.
I agree with what Leila is saying about later, Cindy knowing and all that she posted about Cindy's actions. She knew at that point, it was Caylee and Casey was responsible(deep down she knew but wanted to find any other excuse for her own sake)but what was she thinking while she was washing those clothes?
I think a lot of what DC was throwing around was being birthed by Cindy and nurtured by DC.
Cindy is in the garage washing the items from the Pontiac and smelling the death smell. She has to be racking her mind trying to come up with a theory of who was in that trunk and I can see her coming up with some kind of "drug deal gone bad after Casey let some one borrow her car who was a bad seed type person." Which I would have never come up with as an answer to what Cindy might have attributed the death smell to except for knowing that DC had a theory like this.
There really wasn't a waitress who was murdered at Fusian, was there? TIA.
