Caylee Marie Anthony #167 7/29/10 - 8/09/10

[TURBOTHINK]

I am going to take you back to the disappearance. Suddenly the reward was bumped by $100,000 for Caylee’s safe return by a quote ‘Florida businessman’, some organizations even named him. The name mentioned was one Peter Benevides.

Peter Benevides is an interesting character. Worth a reported $380 million dollars, he is a big dog.

There are some interesting things about this guy. His business interests include an exotic car rental firm, and several aircraft leasing and selling ones.

Let me tell you a story. Lets say someone was selling raffle tickets at $25 each. The prize was an exotic sports car, actually lets say there was a plan to offer three different drawings. The problem is… no one has been verified as winning. That company was Skyview Exotic Cars. The owner of this company is Peter (Pedro) Benevides.

Oh, and the best part about this is that a portion of the proceeds were supposedly going to charity. In fact the tickets actually mention the Never Lose Hope Foundation.

The car (if it exists) was going to be coming from Peter Benevides’ stable. He has quite the stable of exotic cars. Check out the ones he has for rent.

Mentioning the name Peter Benevides seems to be a real conversation killer. Several folks that I know quite well headed for the hills at the mention of the name. Benevides is so hot, people melt. Rumors are wonderful things, I’ll share what I have been told, his folks pack heat, and you basically do not want to mess with Mr Benevides.

Planes and Cars are his main schtick, and a wander around www.sunbiz.org shows that. Peter owns several lucrative operations. At the forefront is the car rental, but the big one is the business jets.

When you play around in the jet interests some really interesting things start to emerge. Peter Benevides is open about being from Venezuela. And there is anecdotal evidence that Pedro is the Spanish spelling of Peter. Indeed there are a couple of corporations registered at the same location as Pedro Benevides.

Is this the same guy that is mentioned here?

So here are some questions, and think long and hard before you answer:

What is in it for Peter?

What has Mark NeJame got to do in this?

Yes i know that I have left NeJame out until this point, but my little friends tell me he has more to say.

No. none of these people were involved in killing Caylee Anthony. They were not the folks responsible for ‘dead body odor’. But what does amaze me is how strange this case has become. A look at South Orange Avenue should excite everyone. Who lives there? Who hangs out there?

There is little doubt in my mind that Peter Benevides is the money guy.

Never Lose Hope Foundation and Kidfinders are saying that the ‘Bat Boat’ was funded by an anonymous source. It would not surprise me to find that Peter Benevides was the person.

Of course the question I have is why would he want to? People do not get rich being nice?

I will add a new element, why would Mark NeJame be involved? NeJame is a class act, he has a great resume. Why would he want to play in this sand box? That is another story.

I will say this, Pedro Benevides has a resume that scares me. More than one person has suggested that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle I should find a new hobby. Simon Barrett

Brandi, I know you don't think so, and I totally respect that.  I'm asking, in all sincerity, what else could have screwed them ALL up this bad?  It has to be something, maybe not this, but something. 

I am just on the fence as to whether any molestation did occur.

Not saying it didn't, not saying I believe it did. But I see it as very much a possibility in this family.

Fair enough.  I don't know if we'll ever know the truth, and in some ways it doesn't matter, but there are so many things that it would explain or disprove.  I can list so many reasons why I think it's possible, but I'm not 100% convinced mainly because kc is such a liar.  Heck, they all are, but the biggest selling point for me, at the moment, is that they never tried to get child support or welfare or SS for Caylee.  Knowing they are all about $$$ it just doesn't make since.  The only explanation I've ever read that I would consider a possibility is that JP Chatt is the father and that kc got some sort of settlement from him or his family.  Nothing else has made sense to me.  Even though I could see cindy being all controlling and not wanting to share Caylee, I think kc would have applied for assistance since she was always stealing money.  That leads me to the most likely candidate IMO, GA.  That would keep her from applying for government assistance to keep the paternity a secret.  It would also explain how kc seemed to have something "over" her parents and why they put up with her lying and stealing.  Just where I'm at today.  all MOO 

Evening, all!  I should be working (Sshhhh, don't tell.).  Finally got caught up and wanted to chime in.  O4Bull, I have a close family member who's had a long hat e relationship with a parent.  As a child he was too bullied (physically, emotionally, and mentally) to openly fight back, so he merely took the fight underground.  He vehemently hated his parent, who was busy proclaiming herself (in effect), "The Best Mother".  For years, she proudly referenced herself as "Mom [their last name], mom to all the kids".  She was over involved in all her childrens' lives, to the point of suffocating this one particular child.  He literally had nowhere to go that she didn't know  the people he was with (and the dirt on their families), wasn't buddy-buddy with the adults in charge, or didn't volunteer with.  She demanded respect submission at all cost and perpetrated the lie that her children were better than the rest, due to her efforts and sacrifices naturally.  She continually bragged about how close she was to her children, as she told others how to handle their errant children.  All of this merely created and fueled one child's hatred.  This contemptuous child began to violently act out in secret against other family members.  As he got old enough/large enough to "win", he began to publicly humiliate his mother, who is only beginning to see the monster she is partially responsible for creating. When another child tried to talk to an outside adult about the family dysfunction, the well-meaning adult attempted to counsel the mother...who promptly unloaded on the child in private about airing the family's laundry. I too see Cindy forcing herself on Casey in her letters.  In essence, she cannot separate herself from Casey.  She never let go of Casey and allowed Casey to develop as an individual.  We basically see Cindy plowing into every area of Casey's life-asking repeatedly to meet with Baez to discuss Casey's case (give him advice), trying to buddy-up with Andrea and "approving" of her, asking to meet with the chaplain on Casey's behalf, advising and encouraging Casey to talk to Jeanine (the mitigation specialist), begging Casey to acknowledge her/meet with her, advising Casey to write to Shane, and on and on. Cindy is so full of herself, she simply can't see that Casey can't stand her.  So, she continues to foist herself onto Casey, lavishing her with praise, manipulating her with the "we're best friends, I know you better than anyone else, mother knows what's best for you" talk.  I don't think Cindy bragging about the family's goings-ons is consciously meant to hurt Casey.  Rather, it's just an indicator of just how far removed she actually is from Casey.  Just as Cindy is all about Cindy, Casey is all about Casey.  Cindy sends these detailed reports of her life, thinking she is brightening Casey's day by sharing her life.  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Cindy's reported adventures are the gasoline fueling Casey's hatred.  Cindy is so out of touch, she has no idea how Casey perceives her and so she continues.  Seriously, who details outings, parties, and cruises to someone confined indefinitely to a jail cell?!!
I can clearly understand and "see" the dynamics of Casey having a physical relationship with George to spite Cindy, as in "See Mom, I'm more attractive than you.  I can take things from you and you're too dumb to know it.  I'm going to hurt you where it counts.".  On the other hand, I can see pure rage developing on Casey's part if George molested Casey and Cindy failed to protect her, in order to save face. In either event, Casey has something on Cindy and George.  I think the only emotions Casey is motivated by are anger, jealousy, spite, revenge, and contempt.   If Casey had a physical relationship with George (molestation or willfully), I can see her using that to rope George into helping her dispose of Caylee/evidence.  Although, IMO, George would have likely disposed of the duct tape.  I have a problem with the less-than-a-mile-from-the-home-disposal site.  I could understand George disposing of/advising Casey/assisiting Casey to dispose of the body less than a mile from home, while simultaneously floating the Zanaida Gonzales-on-the-other-side-of-town took Caylee story, knowing full well that LE would search elsewhere. I just don't think Casey's that smart, particularly since George kept saying the last time he saw Casey & Caylee was at home.  Given George's emotional outbursts at "remains" and his psychosomatic vomiting (physical symptoms resulting from extreme metal/emotional distress), George knows/saw something concrete and definite.  A suspicion wouldn't generate that kind of physical response.  JMOO

Turbo, do you recall if PB was the rich friend Jesse was going to contact to help KC? Or is KC herself linked to PB in some way, most likely sleazy? Escort, Caylee's father, whatever.

Reading the emails, I notice it was speculated that NeJame might replace Baez, but then that was quickly squashed. Could PB have intended for him to represent KC, but Baez was already in like Flynn, so he decided to help the A's instead?

ISpy, you and I are on the same wavelength.  I totally get what you are saying about cindy, and I readily agree.  The only part where we may differ is that I think she knows it's eating at casey when she describes all the things she's doing/done.  I think she does it to appear to everyone else that she's just trying to take casey's mind off her own troubles, but in her own mind she knows that casey would be jealous.  It's her way of paying casey back for not talking to her, IMO.  I laugh when I think about the frumpy clothes she sent her, and have to wonder if that's not the real reason casey won't talk to her. LOL  THen,  I come to my senses and remember there are probably 5,695 other reasons she won't talk to her.
Love your posts, ISpy. 

[ISpy]

One more thought (this one is much shorter-LOL!)...Isn't it interesting what Cindy says in her letters?  Hat tip to seamusoriley.blogspot.com here with Statement Analysis.  Cindy's been declaring since shortly after Caylee's Memorial Service that she believes Caylee is alive.  As recently as July 2010, in her testimony before Judge Perry, she stubbornly added she believed Caylee was still alive.  Oh yeah, Cindy?  Then why did you write in your May 2010 Mother's Day Card to Casey "You were a good mother to Caylee.".  Because you know Caylee is indeed dead and has been since June 2008.  Funny thing about the human body, the mouth speaks what the brain tells it to.  Likewise, the hand writes what the brain is thinking.  Clearly, Cindy believed Caylee was dead when she wrote that card, using past tense.  Furthermore, she felt secure writing that too, perhaps because she knew it wouldn't be going public.  It appears to me that the Baez Legal Documents envelope was in fact addressed by Cindy.
***Sorry, I don't know how to screen capture these and bring them over. If someone does and can, I would appreciate it. Putting them side by side makes it easier to compare the features.

Casey's Address:
Line 2

• the 8 is formed with a / line attached to what resembles an upside down S
• the last 0 in the inmate number is formed with a solid line down stroke (l), which then curves on around to complete the 0
• the R in DORM is formed with a backward slant resembling more of an "e" tilted back against a tiny stick
• the last number 2 (DORML-12) is formed more like a lazy Z

Line 3: The Zip Code: Look at the second 2 (another lazy Z) and the first 0 (same as Line 2)

When you compare this envelope against the May 10, 2010 one here http://www.wftv.com/pdf/24527379/detail.html, look at the 8's, zeros, R's and 2's.  Looks the same to me. IMO, proving who mailed this won't be that hard.  First there are fingerprints or lack of fingerprints (Cindy, Baez, Baez' employees).  Secondly, saliva in the DNA on the envelope flap might be incriminating.  Finally, other cancelled correspondence envelopes could be provided by the Baez Law Firm or subpoenaed by Judge Perry (or perhaps the Prosecution could simply file their own motion requesting such evidence at some point during Cindy's trial to establish character  ). 
Heading out here...Hope you have a great p.m. or a.m.!

No he wasn't - It was some guy who owned a bunch of hotels down there. I don't remember his name right off, but likely can find it.

[O4Bull]

ISpy,
I also wanted to add that it's horrible what your family members went through.  An overbearing controlling mother can do much more harm.  Not letting your children face consequences as children, means harder lessons for them as adults.  My cousin who was molested by her father for years had a mother much like cindy.  I guess that's why I can totally go there, and feel like I know those dynamics.  That's why I can believe GA could have fathered Caylee.  My cousin had 2 abortions and finally got on birth control.  When her mother found the birth control, she called my cousin a whore, and told her how disgusting she was.  Her parents were divorced, and her mother was so bad, she ended up moving in with her father at 15 even though he was abusing her.  She was beautiful, but he would degrade her and tell her she's lucky he would even touch her.  I could go on and on.  She had a nervous breakdown, is full blown schizophrenic and has attempted suicide many times.  Her dad died a horrible death, very young, as cancer ate him alive.  I wish I had known before he died what he had done.  She and I were very close up until we were about 13/14 and she never told me.  Her mother died fairly recently and she was pretty young.  I think the bitterness took it's toll on her body.  She tried to reconcile with her daughter, once the truth was out, but I don't know if she ever really understood my cousin.  My cousin said her mother told her she did not love her unconditionally, and I believe it.  My aunt was very bitter and often cindy reminds me of her.
I've shared way too much, but I guess it's okay since 2 of them are dead.  My cousin is out of it most of the time, so she'll never read here.  It's all so sad and a terrible situation that I wouldn't wish on anyone.  Not even casey, believe it or not.

Awesome catch there !!  It is very obvious once you described it in detail.  I love your posts and I do agree with you about Cindy & KC.  I do believe Cindy purposely inserts the "family affairs" in her letters to take jabs at KC. It might be somewhat sideways to give the appearance of "helping", but it is obvious in all her correspondence if you read between the lines.

[O4Bull]

ISpy, great catch on the verbage "were" a great mother.  It slipped right past me (not hard these days, lol)  I agree, she's so busted.  Now, will they do anything about it?  Gosh, I truly hope so!!!

How sad............for you and I Spy......It always makes me sad to hear of those things happening to people.......Unfortunately, those things are not that uncommon in the world and I believe that is why most people have such a hard time accepting that George could be the father. I have always felt there was some type of very inappropriate relationship between him and KC and took a lot of flack for it in the beginning of this case. The set up was perfect for KC to get back at her mother and/or George to get back at Cindy.

[TURBOTHINK]

I had many reasons for suspecting George of inappropriate behaviors, but one which was a clue to many who had thought I was nuts for a while was his comments on her gaining weight and her appearance. Not to mention the mushy talk to her at the jail. Those are so typical of the man who molests a young woman because they have to psychologically see their victim as "perfect" for them so they verbally abuse them to keep them under their control.

[O4Bull]

Turbo,
I have always wanted to ask you (and now, ISpy) about cindy and her childhood.  I know you and I have some of the same feelings regarding incest in this case, so I thought I'd run this past you.  What do you think cindy's homelife was like?  I feel like she was raised in a dysfunctional family, possibly much like the one she raised her children in.  I believe that either her mother was very controlling, or the opposite, she really didn't pay much attention to what was going on in the household.  I know she appears to be a nice lady, so I hesitate to even post, but it's not to be slanderous.  I am trying to understand how cindy got to be cindy.  Also, just so I can be sure to get extra nanners thrown at me to eat later, I'm going way far out on my limb tonight and say that I got creepy feelings from the nursing home video with Caylee and her g-gpa.  I know I'm going to get hate mail for that one.  I'm off to bed, nite all.

O4Bull- Actually, I'm on the fence when it comes to Cindy's motives for regaling Casey with her busy social life.  I waver between Cindy being out of touch and her chatty comments being the proverbial knife in the back-twist-twist.  Thinking back on Casey's 1st call home and how Casey sarcastically nailed Cindy with, "I saw your little cameo on TV.", to which Cindy evenly (and obviously pleased) volleyed with, "Which one?".  There's something about the way that Cindy goes into excruciating detail, letter after letter, detailing events Casey can't attend, that "feels" like she's rubbing it in.  I get the impression sometimes that there are thinly veiled punches being thrown or something.  I completely hear what you are saying.  It appears to be a love-hate relationship.  It appears that Cindy & Casey are highly competitive (maybe Cindy more so).  Hence the Casey-George scenario would be a great tool for revenge to Casey (not saying there was anything inappropriate, just speculating on motive).  If Cindy has always been this way with Casey, can you imagine how much Caylee's birth upped the ante?  Just another reason for Casey to hate Cindy...being beholden to someone you can't stand and knowing you have neither the skills, money, or a well-paying job to support yourself (nor the ambition and self-discipline to, IMO).
I found it interesting too that Cindy pointedly said that Lee would write Casey only if he was guaranteed a response.  Casey reminds me of a pouting child stubbornly withholding affection from those trying to engage her (aka-manipulation).  IMO, Lee's probably been communicating with Casey all along (possibly unbeknownst to the A's and Mallory).  Wouldn't surprise me one bit.  After all, he's been keeping her secrets and rescuing her from Mom & Dad most of his life.  The death penalty far supercedes the wrath of Mom & Dad.  Given Lee's early concerns about Baez' competence, his running interference for Casey, him conducting his own private investigation, I can't see him sitting on the sidelines, spectating while his sister's in real danger...not C-M-A!
All done!  Check you all later!

ISpy,
I also wanted to add that it's horrible what your family members went through.  An overbearing controlling mother can do much more harm.  Not letting your children face consequences as children, means harder lessons for them as adults.  My cousin who was molested by her father for years had a mother much like cindy.  I guess that's why I can totally go there, and feel like I know those dynamics.  That's why I can believe GA could have fathered Caylee.  My cousin had 2 abortions and finally got on birth control.  When her mother found the birth control, she called my cousin a whore, and told her how disgusting she was.  Her parents were divorced, and her mother was so bad, she ended up moving in with her father at 15 even though he was abusing her.  She was beautiful, but he would degrade her and tell her she's lucky he would even touch her.  I could go on and on.  She had a nervous breakdown, is full blown schizophrenic and has attempted suicide many times.  Her dad died a horrible death, very young, as cancer ate him alive.  I wish I had known before he died what he had done.  She and I were very close up until we were about 13/14 and she never told me.  Her mother died fairly recently and she was pretty young.  I think the bitterness took it's toll on her body.  She tried to reconcile with her daughter, once the truth was out, but I don't know if she ever really understood my cousin.  My cousin said her mother told her she did not love her unconditionally, and I believe it.  My aunt was very bitter and often cindy reminds me of her.
I've shared way too much, but I guess it's okay since 2 of them are dead.  My cousin is out of it most of the time, so she'll never read here.  It's all so sad and a terrible situation that I wouldn't wish on anyone.  Not even casey, believe it or not.

O4Bull
I can understand how you feel that GA is Caylees dad and I am not saying that it's not possible. Amything is possible. 1) I have a hard time believing anything Casey says. She can't tell the truth. I have a niece that is alcoholic and when her dad tried everything in his power to get her help and get custody of her son. She told every lie she could come up with. None of them worked but when she told the courts that he had sexually abused her. The grandson was taken from him and given back to her. No matter what anyone said including her mother. 2) If GA was the dad and the DNA proved it. Wouldn't LE gone after GA for incest. I wouldn't think they would let GA walk around knowing this. Just my opinion. Like I said any thing this family is possible.

Turbo- thanks!  It's hard to verbally describe how someone makes their letters.  I wasn't sure if anyone could follow that or not.  I'm wondering if Cindy may have practiced and copied the way Casey wrote when she was younger.  The first line on that Baez Law Firm envelope for the Mother's Day Card reminded me instantly of how high school girls write = very "showy". 

O4Bull- I am so sorry to hear about your poor cousin!  Wow!  I happen to know an inordinately high number of women who were molested as children and I totally agree on the dynamics thing.  You won't get any nanners from me because I've wondered the same things about Cindy's childhood.  Cindy didn't suddenly become angry, deceptive, manipulating, and controlling overnight (or even over a few years).  Those are some deeply entrenched roots there.  Not accusing Mr. or Mrs. Plesea of anything, just trying to figure Cindy out.  It's interesting that no one from her childhood/teen/early adulthood years has come forward to support her (or disparage her).  It's like she was born and grew up in a vacuum. I have to wonder if she was as toxic as Casey, friend-wise.  Honestly, I think Mrs. Plesea (nice as she seems to be), seemed reluctant to call Cindy on much regarding Casey (until Casey stole from them).  In her e-mails to Rick, she seems afraid to confront Cindy.  Wonder why?  I tend to think Cindy's worn out her welcome among her relatives, being so abrasive and unwilling to admit her family's very obvious shortcomings.  It's just weird.  How sad to have to live life like that, hiding/ducking/dodging/exploding.
Having been drug to quite a few nursing homes and the homes of obscure elderly relatives as a child, I would never "require" any small child to sit on the lap of an elderly person she only saw a few times a year (if that).  Caylee looked lost on Mr. Plesea's lap.  I didn't like the pic either because anyone with half a brain could see Caylee was unsure and uncomfortable. I didn't perceive Mr. Plesea as a threat, just the situation as "scary" to Caylee.  I do have to wonder if Cindy wasn't always catered to as the only girl or if she always got her way due to temper tantrums.  One thing's for sure, she's hard, as in strong-willed in all the worst ways, coupled with a violent temper and proud of it.  George and Cindy seemed to have raised their children in a culture of violence as Cindy got up in people's faces repeatedly and physically threatened them, while George shoved numerous people and encouraged Casey in a recent letter to kick ***.  Both Cindy and George behaved irrationally and appallingly at their Zenaida Gonzales-Morgan depos.  Cindy should have been involuntarily committed after that display, IMO.  She clearly posed a threat to Mr. Morgan.  Had Brad Conway and the TV cameras not been there, she'd have been all over him, IMO.  No, Cindy didn't get that way overnight, nor since Caylee went "missing".

Green Eyes- You raise a good point, I have to admit.  Do you think Le may be sitting on some test results that George is aware of, trying to pressure him for the info he likely knows?  They did tell George that he was a man who knew a lot about a lot of things.  Do you think they'll hold that out as a bargaining chip to George?  LE did say they know who the father is and yet, wouldn't that father or his family likely go public with their shock/anger over Caylee's death?  Well, unless of course, the father is married or otherwise involved maybe.  What do you think?

I am going to take you back to the disappearance. Suddenly the reward was bumped by $100,000 for Caylee’s safe return by a quote ‘Florida businessman’, some organizations even named him. The name mentioned was one Peter Benevides.

Peter Benevides is an interesting character. Worth a reported $380 million dollars, he is a big dog.

There are some interesting things about this guy. His business interests include an exotic car rental firm, and several aircraft leasing and selling ones.

Let me tell you a story. Lets say someone was selling raffle tickets at $25 each. The prize was an exotic sports car, actually lets say there was a plan to offer three different drawings. The problem is… no one has been verified as winning. That company was Skyview Exotic Cars. The owner of this company is Peter (Pedro) Benevides.

Oh, and the best part about this is that a portion of the proceeds were supposedly going to charity. In fact the tickets actually mention the Never Lose Hope Foundation.

The car (if it exists) was going to be coming from Peter Benevides’ stable. He has quite the stable of exotic cars. Check out the ones he has for rent.

Mentioning the name Peter Benevides seems to be a real conversation killer. Several folks that I know quite well headed for the hills at the mention of the name. Benevides is so hot, people melt. Rumors are wonderful things, I’ll share what I have been told, his folks pack heat, and you basically do not want to mess with Mr Benevides.

Planes and Cars are his main schtick, and a wander around www.sunbiz.org shows that. Peter owns several lucrative operations. At the forefront is the car rental, but the big one is the business jets.

When you play around in the jet interests some really interesting things start to emerge. Peter Benevides is open about being from Venezuela. And there is anecdotal evidence that Pedro is the Spanish spelling of Peter. Indeed there are a couple of corporations registered at the same location as Pedro Benevides.

Is this the same guy that is mentioned here?

So here are some questions, and think long and hard before you answer:

What is in it for Peter?

What has Mark NeJame got to do in this?

Yes i know that I have left NeJame out until this point, but my little friends tell me he has more to say.

No. none of these people were involved in killing Caylee Anthony. They were not the folks responsible for ‘dead body odor’. But what does amaze me is how strange this case has become. A look at South Orange Avenue should excite everyone. Who lives there? Who hangs out there?

There is little doubt in my mind that Peter Benevides is the money guy.

Never Lose Hope Foundation and Kidfinders are saying that the ‘Bat Boat’ was funded by an anonymous source. It would not surprise me to find that Peter Benevides was the person.

Of course the question I have is why would he want to? People do not get rich being nice?

I will add a new element, why would Mark NeJame be involved? NeJame is a class act, he has a great resume. Why would he want to play in this sand box? That is another story.

I will say this, Pedro Benevides has a resume that scares me. More than one person has suggested that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle I should find a new hobby. Simon Barrett

Thanks for the response and link to the money trail.  Kinda scary stuff, huh.  I just was curious what was in it for PB.  Thanks also to ZooMom and TruthBaby.  I'm climbing back up into the rafters to read more.  Can't wait for the trial to get under way.

ISpy  Good question about LE trying to pressure George. Once again any thing is possible. I remember hearing that LE knew who Caylees dad was. Like you if the family knew I have wondered why they haven't said anything. To have some say in Caylees memorial service. And be spittin mad that she was killed and didn't know about her until she was gone. But maybe they didn't want to be drug into the circus this has become. Maybe they don't care. I don't know. I really don't want to think LE would let it pass or use it to get GA to tell what he really knows. But it seems that the A's have gotten away with so much, that anyone else would have had their hineys thrown in jail for.
