Disturbing evidence found in home of missing boy’s father:
A bloody mop was found in the apartment of Ernesto Gonzalez. Gonzalez is the father of Giovanni Gonzalez who has been missing since last weekend. Ernesto Gonzalez did not return Giovanni to his mother after a weekend visitation.
Ernesto Gonzalez is being held on $500K bond on child endangerment charges.
Mom Makes Plea For 5-Year-Old’s Safe Return:
With all the hoopla surrounding the Caylee Anthony story stories like this are getting swept under the rug. So effective immediately I am imposing a Casey Anthony embargo on this site. There are many fine blogs on the Coalition of Crime Bloggers blogroll who are covering the story. If you wish to receive more information about the Casey Anthony please visit them.
5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez was reported missing by his mother, 22-year-old Daisy Colon of East Boston, on Monday night. Ms. Colon had dropped Giovanni off with his father, 36-year-old Ernesto Gonzalez of Lynn, Mass. Giovanni’s parents have been involved with a custody dispute. Gonzales did not return Giovanni at the end of his visitation.
Gonzalez was arrested Monday and ordered held on $500,000 cash bail following his arraignment in Lynn District Court. Officials were concerned because Gonzalez had a cut on his left finger, and he gave conflicting accounts of how the injury happened, the Lynn Daily Item reported.
And Giovanni is nowhere to be found…
Giovanni weighs approximately 40 pounds and is 49 inches tall with black hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he was wearing blue denim jeans, a red T-shirt, a silver braided chain and black Spiderman sandals. He was carrying a black backpack that had the Transformers robot characters on it. It contained some of his clothes and toys.
He has a faded skin pigmentation mark on the lower right side of his chest and a small scar above his eyebrow.
Anyone with information about the child’s disappearance or whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Lynn Police at 781-595-2000.
I’ll be doing updates on this story as details become available and as time allows.
Casey Anthony Released After More Than Month In Jail:
Casey Anthony got out of jail today. Mr. black hat bounty hunter Leonard Padilla posted her bail.
If you think this story was a circus before you haven’t seen anything yet.
Are you as sick of this story as I am? I’m half tempted to stop blogging about it. I used to pride myself on blogging the stories that no one else did now here I am blogging the same story as everyone else.
Now let’s sit back and see if she actually gives bounty paper towel man…I mean Mr. Bounty Hunter any information.
Independent Caylee investigators submit evidence:
A few independent investigators search near a soccer field found some clothes and other items while conducting a search into the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony.
“We found some things in this area … blue jeans, size five from express,” Derrick Miller.
“I found a couple of book bags, some other articles of clothing, some female clothing, a female shoe,” said Wyatt Locke. “We did find a few articles of children’s clothing yes,” Locke added.
The items have been turned over to the police and some of the clothes are the same size that Casey Anthony wears.
My question is what is the affiliation of these independent investigators? Are they volunteers for the police department or are they friends of the Anthonys?
Eyewitness News Reveals Remote Area Where Casey Anthony Made Calls:
WFTV in Orlando is claiming they have tracked down one of Casey Anthony’s locations on June 17th. They say she was in a wooded area near the Orlando airport but they don’t really state how they got this information except to cite unnamed ‘documents’. So, in my opinion, take that with a grain of salt.
Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary has pleaded to the public to provide police with ‘credible’ tips as to Caylee’s whereabouts. He didn’t say this but I’m sure he meant to stop calling in with the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ type sightings people have been calling in.
Bounty Hunter: Missing 3-Year-Old Girl’s Mom To Be Bailed Out Of Jail:
Now we have some people trying to make a name for themselves off of Caylee Marie Anthony.
First is bounty hunter Leonard Padilla from the show ‘Bounty Hunters’ on National Geographic. He says that his nephew, Tony Padilla, will be posting the $500K bond this weekend. Leonard Padilla says that he wants to bail Casey out to ‘find out the truth’.
“We eat in the same room, sleep in the same room. After a while, these people feel better than sitting in a cell looking at the walls, and they will discuss things that they won’t discuss with parents or anybody else,” Leonard Padilla said.
Yeah…good luck with that. Here’s what Mr. Padilla said in what basically amounts to a press release.
“On Sunday, August 17, World Famous Bounty Hunter Leonard Padilla and his nephew Tony Padilla, owner of Tony Padilla Bail Bonds of Sacramento, CA., will be traveling to Orlando with two of Leonard Padilla’s associates. Tony Padilla will be posting a $500,000.00 bond for the release of Casey Anthony.”
This is all about publicity. Nothing more and nothing less.
And speaking of publicity let’s talk about vulture #2, Larry Garrison. He’s been retained by the Anthonys to be their spokesperson. His reputation precedes him.
Garrison, president of production company SilverCreek Entertainment, co-authored a book on the disappearance of missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway.
Garrison was also a spokesman for the family of John Mark Karr, the man who gained notoriety for falsely confessing to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.
Yeah…that’s who I’d want representing me. 🙄
And lastly not only has Sheriff Kevin Beary asked for credible tips about Caylee he also says that the kidnapping theory floated by the Anthony family is not credible.
“If it is accidental, then I need to know that and people with credible information need to come back and tell me that.”
That would be the accidental drowning theory that many believe is the most likely explanation as to what happened to Caylee.
Leaked Phone Records Reveal Details About Casey Anthony Calls:
Did you notice I didn’t post anything about Casey Anthony yesterday? It was kind of nice. Now, back to the grind.
Phone records show that Casey Anthony made a flurry of phone calls to her parents on June 16th. She also called her ex-fiancée Jesse Grund.
June 17th was the day that neighbors say she borrowed a shovel. Then there was another flurry of calls to her parents on the 18th.
George Anthony is starting to delve into the Cindy Anthony School of Denial. He’s now claiming that he believes the ‘kidnappers’ are under surveillance even though the police disagree.
Grandmother Of Missing 3-Year-Old Girl Conducting Own Investigation:
Speaking of denial Cindy Anthony is touting that she’s conducting her own investigation and there’s something she just can’t let go…
“We get tips every day on Zenaida Gonzalez. They have over a thousand Zenaida Gonzalezes that are linked to the places that Casey told them to look, so it does take time to search through. Private individuals (are) doing it, authorities are doing it, private investigators are doing it, family members are doing it,” Cindy Anthony said. “One of those tips is going to say, ‘Hey, I know exactly where (Caylee) is at,’ and it’s probably going to be a very covert operation.”
If it turns out that Casey was the only one responsible for Caylee’s disappearance Cindy is probably going to be sued by every Zenaida Gonzalezes in Florida or at least have a restraining order slapped on her.
The FBI is still looking into threats made against the Anthony family since this whole deal started. Don’t be an assbag people. Leave the crazy family alone.
Local Couple Claims To Have Photos Of Caylee:
A couple from Orlando claimed that they had a picture of Caylee except the little girl in the picture had her face obstructed by a hat. Police are saying it’s a false sighting, but that didn’t stop Cindy Anthony from going to see the photos.
Again, I hate to make light of what I think is going to be a tragic situation but the sightings of Caylee have almost become like Bigfoot and Elvis sightings.
Authorities explain why they’re so quiet: ‘Caylee is our goal’:
Cindy Anthony should take the hint on this one. If Cindy wasn’t so outrageous at times the media attention would probably disappear including yours truly.
Caylee Marie Anthony’s grandfather loses temper before jail visit to daughter:
Speaking of the media George Anthony gave them the verbal Smackdown again.
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” George Anthony bellowed outside the Orange County Jail after a reporter asked if Caylee died in an accident. He then screamed, “Move out of my way, unless you want to get knocked over.”
I wonder if George is starting to crack under the pressure.
Speaking of cracked let’s see what Cindy Anthony has to say today.
Before stepping into the visitation center, Cindy Anthony told reporters she had received another tip about Caylee. She said a woman called her at 11 p.m. and told her she had seen the missing girl.
And she said that she’s as informative and trustworthy as the police…
Asked about Thursday’s statement, Caylee’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said that her family is as trustworthy a source of information as the Sheriff’s Office.
“Unless you hear it from us or the police, it’s not true,” Cindy Anthony said. “We are only going to state the facts. Anything else is speculation.”
That last paragraph almost made my head explode.
Casey’s attorney interested in cadaver dogs:
Casey Anthony’s lawyer Jose Baez, aka The Strawgrasper, has requested just about every record possible that’s concerned with the cadaver dogs used by police.
Baez filed the paperwork with the Orange County Court this week. He is looking for information on any of the searches or examinations performed by the canines during the search for Caylee.
Baez says he is asking for any videotape or audio from searches done at the grandparent’s house, lakes, ponds or any bodies of water. He is also looking for the canines training records and certificates along with information on the deputies who handle the dogs.
Does he also want to know whose legs they’ve humped and whose crotches they’ve sniffed? Two dogs from two different counties hit in the same spot. I don’t see the problem.
Ok, now here’s why I don’t watch Nancy Grace, Greta Van Sustern, or any of those types of shows…
On Wednesday night, FOX News Greta Van Susteren tracked down the former roomate of Tony Lazzaro, a person Casey dated before she was arrested. Clint House spoke with Greta about what he remembers took place between the end of May and early July.
Oooooh. Third-hand information. I believe in a court of law they call that hearsay.
Fraud charges may also be filed against Casey Anthony because family members, I guess ones that aren’t Cindy, are accusing Casey of running up $700 on her parents’ credit card. Somehow I don’t see George and Cindy pressing charges.
Casey Anthony’s brother cancels today’s jailhouse visit:
I guess turnabout is fair play since Casey Anthony’s brother Lee canceled a scheduled visit to see his sister today. Casey had canceled a visit from her brother last week.
Psychic Team Joins Search For Caylee Anthony:
Let’s hear more from con artist…I mean ‘psychic’ Gale St. John.
Gale St. John said she had a vision of a place in Orlando near a lake, surrounded by trees and wildflowers. That is where she believes Caylee Anthony can be found, but not alive.
Thanks a lot, Captain Vague. That sure as hell narrows it down to about most of Florida. She’s asking for donations too. Go figure.
Police received a tip from someone who they had smelled decomposition in some woods but the tip turned out to be fruitless.
And once again I stand before you with mouth agape with something that Cindy Anthony has said.
Cindy Anthony was confronted by a reporter about the mystery phone call where Casey claimed she heard Caylee in the background but investigators say that call never took place.
Cindy said she shared new information with investigators Monday about Casey’s phone records that she says shows Casey really did get a call from Caylee on July 15 from a “private number.” She’s even claiming that Caylee’s great-grandmother heard from Caylee during the time she’s been missing.
“How did the person who had Caylee get your mother’s phone number?” WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked.
“She was programmed into my daughter’s phone,” Cindy said.
So does that mean that the mystery baby sitter stole Casey’s phone too and called Casey’s grandmother from Casey’s phone?
As I said on twitter last night I think Cindy has finally gone off the deep end and it will only be a matter of time before she strokes the hair of a doll and claims that it’s Caylee.
I am literally shaking my head at this one. You can’t see it but I am.
George and Cindy Anthony, mostly Cindy I would bet, are planning on towing a huge billboard behind their truck that asks for help in finding Caylee Marie Anthony.
It may just be the biggest monument to denial in Central Florida.
Casey cancels jailhouse visit with parents:
Casey Anthony canceled a planned visit from her parents yesterday. That’s the second visit she’s turned down from family. On Friday she rejected a visit from her brother Lee.
Psychic-Led Team ‘Blind Driving’ Central Fla. To Find Missing Girl:
I’m sure Morbid is getting a kick out of this one.
‘Psychic Detectives’ aka bullshit artists are going to be ‘blind driving’ through central Florida looking for Caylee Marie Anthony.
“We will not even look at street names,” psychic detective Gale St. John said. “We drive and go completely on feeling instinct, chasing down what we call a person signature.”
St. John and her team arrived in Central Florida and immediately began using specially trained cadaver dogs to check areas on foot over the weekend near Lee Vista Road.
If they’re so psychic then why the hell do they need cadaver dogs?
For more on Morbid, Imp Queen, Harley Tech and myself discussing the Caylee Marie Anthony situation and psychics check out The Dreamin’ Demon podcast we did this past weekend.
Grandmother Of Caylee Anthony Says Officials Re-Examining Phone Calls:
Cindy and George Anthony met with detectives from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office today for about two hours. Do you think that the detectives rolled their eyes when they heard that Cindy Anthony was there? I know I would have at least done that.
Anyway, Cindy Anthony is disputing the allegation that the phone call where Casey heard Caylee in the background never happened.
“We discussed that with the deputies today. They’re re-looking at the phone records because that’s a misstatement,” Cindy Anthony said.
I bet Casey’s lips didn’t even move when Cindy said that. Does Cindy Anthony realize that what she’s doing is hurting her daughter more than helping? It’s like Casey Anthony is drowning and Cindy keeps throwing her an anchor.
Air samples from the death smelling car have also been sent for analysis.
Appeals court denies bond motion of missing girl’s mom:
Casey Anthony’s bond still stands at $500K. A Daytona Beach appeals court denied the appeal for reduced bond.
Casey refuses to see brother in jail:
In a somewhat interesting development, Casey Anthony refused a visit from her brother Lee today. Casey told a deputy she did not want to meet with her brother but did not give a reason.
Also, there are more details from the search warrant that I posted about yesterday.
Casey originally told police that June 9th was the last time she saw Caylee. However, when police searched her laptop they found a picture of the Anthonys with Caylee that was dated June 15th. Later the Anthonys changed their story that the 16th was the last time they saw Caylee.
Also in the search warrant was the fact that Casey Anthony led investigators on a goose chase, my words not theirs. She first sent them to an old folks home, then the Sawgrass Apartments where the mysterious baby sitter allegedly lived, and lastly to a townhome community where the baby sitter’s mother allegedly lived.
Casey tells investigators that this is where Zenaida’s mother allegedly owned a condominium and where she dropped Caylee off several times between mid 2006 to early 2007.
When police drive through the community, Casey told police she could not remember the exact house because she “stopped paying attention to it since she came so many times.”
I think it’s obvious that Casey is covering something up but with each revelation, it’s beginning to seem that the family could possibly be complicit with whatever the cover-up is.
Meanwhile, George Anthony told the media today to get off his damn lawn. Well not in those exact words but you get the drift.
