Anthonys believe they will find their granddaughter alive
7:42a.m. George and Cindy Anthony said on national television that they think their granddaughter, Caylee Marie, is still alive and have not given up hope, despite a first-degree murder indictment against their daughter, Casey.
The couple appeared on the Today Show this morning and were interviewed by Meredith Vieira.
George Anthony refused to answer questions about his subpoena to testify in front of a grand jury last week. “I cannot comment,” he said.
Orange County officials announced last week that they think the child is dead and charged Casey Anthony with first-degree murder, among other charges, following the grand jury indictment. Cindy Anthony called the move another “tactic” to prevent her daughter’s lawyers from viewing their evidence.
The evidence that points to a decomposing body in the back of Casey Anthony’s car and traces of chloroform found in the same place have not been released yet to the public. Cindy Anthony thinks it’s all circumstantial and can be disproved.
When Vieira asked George and Cindy if they are in denial about their granddaughter’s death, they said no.
“My granddaughter is still alive,” George Anthony said. “My granddaughter is still out there and we are going to find her.”
Casey Anthony has been in jail since last Tuesday after being arrested on the side of an Orange County freeway. Her parents have not spoken to her since that day. Casey Anthony asked them to remain focused on finding Caylee, and keep the spotlight off of her, Cindy Anthony said to explain the reason they have not visited or spoken to her.
