Caylee's Grandma: I Wrote Suicide Notes

(CBS)  Cindy Anthony reveals to Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez that she wrote suicide note.

The admission came in part two of the The Early Show's exclusive interview with Casey Anthony's parents, to be broadcast April 23.

"I couldn't bear not having Caylee around and not knowing what happened to her," Cindy Anthony said. "You get to a point when you miss someone so much, that you think life's not worth living."

Her husband, George Anthony, discussed his own suicide attempt in part one of the The Early Show's interview, but it was not previously known that both grandparents of slain 2-year-old Caylee Anthony had thought of ending their lives.

Cindy and George Anthony defended their daughter, while adding that they wanted to know more about what happened last year when their granddaughter went missing.

Cindy Anthony stood by her daughter, even as Rodriguez questioned her about her 911 call in which she said that her daughter's car smelled like a dead body.

"She's presumed innocent," Cindy Anthony said. "The truth will come out at trial, and that's what we have to wait for."

Caylee Anthony's body was found in December 2008 in the woods near her Florida home.

Casey Anthony, 23, has been charged with first-degree murder and could face the death penalty, if convicted. Her trial is set for October.

Here is my thoughts on this whole thing, First, supposidly casey couldn't find her car, it had gone missing (if I remember right) so how did her mother find it? Second, If casey and caylee were living with cindy and george (as she said on the show) then why didn't ANYONE question the little girl not being around for 31 days? Next, the bail bondsman said that he witnessed casey and cindy fighting, but yet, cindy talks about casey on tv like there were never any problems, if so, then why did cindy want to take caylee away from casey? Next, why did cindy have to "prep" herself for the deposition and remember page numbers and what was said excetera if she isn't hiding anything or covering up for casey? Cindy contradicts herself on tv, she said that she wants to know what happened, when asked if she asked casey what happened, but then she also during the 2 interviews says that she stands by casey and knows that she didn't do it, which one is it, didn't do it, or wants to know what happened? Why didn't they ever go after the "Nanny" and try to track her down when they were told by casey that the nanny took her? also, why would casey need a nanny if she was living at home with her parents and she wasn't working? Also, who in their right mind leaves a 2 year old on the front steps of a nannies home when dropping her off for the day instead of going inside with her? according to her, that is what she did that morning when caylee went missing. If casey has nothing to hide and she didn't do it, then why doesn't she just tell the truth and if someone is after her, then tell the police who are there to help, instead she makes up lies after lies and waste peoples time and efforts and her daughter is right where she left her. If your not guilty you have no reason to lie and you would do anything and everything to get your child back, not her though. Lastly, where are the tears for caylee, this daughter and grand-daughter that they supposidly love so much, the only time I ever see tears for caylee from the grandparents was at the funeral, and casey shed on tiny tear during her araignment I believe it was, other than that, nothing, no emotions, Why do they (the anthonys) think america is so dumb, we can all figure it out, stop playing games and wasting americans money and tell the truth for your daughters/grand-daughters sake. Finally, I think the brother knows more than he is saying, why would he have to speak in code if he wasn't hiding something too. this whole family is messed up. I can't wait for the trial, this ought to be a good one. Caylee, I'm sorry you had to be born into a family like this, I know that your justice is coming hunny, just hang on and mommy will pay for what she has done to you. We all love you caylee, rest in peace.

They are trying to talk to a jury pool. Who are they kidding. Wow I love everyones comments. Don't need a smart JURY just one with common sense can read through them and Casey.

[nykaren1555]

She wears many hats. Personality swings. I believe shes always been that way. Now there on TV trying to change there image. Compare this interview with the depostions. Has anyone every seen this women shed a tear? If you see the other cases of missing children all there reactions are of shock , disbelieve, sorrow, sadness. Shes not.

[nykaren1555]

This just goes to show me. All along. This women is narrsistic as they come. And also a attention seeker. This case is about her daughter not them. I think they like the limelight. The night there grandbaby was found dead they where at the Ritz-Carlton dining. Not bad for people who don't have money.

If it's true she wrote the notes, which I doubt, I wish she had followed through. She's a waste of life like her daughter. She created Casey. I don't just mean by giving birth to her. I mean Casey is a result of what her parents created. They let her be this selfish, sociopath who murdered her child and has lied and stolen from anyone she could.
Just think about this folks, Who steals from their GRANDFATHER'S Nursing Home fund??? What kind of person does THAT?

And just as bad, if not worse, WHAT kind of PARENT, does NOTHING ABOUT IT?

That's how Casey became a murderer! She was enabled her entire life! the whole lot of them are sick. Notice Lee's not on the Anthony's Alibi Tour, at least!

Abby, well said! I too believe that Cindy is trying to get sympathy. If she truly thought Caylee was still alive, why would she want to kill herself? Wouldn't she want to be around to see her come home or to help with the investigation into finding her? Bottom line is you can't believe what they say. I wish CBS would ask them some real questions and take off the kid gloves. They don't deserve it after all the lies they've told.

[Abby_Who]

CBS has done a great disservice to all of the families affected by suicide. Neither of these grandparents are victims, nor did either of them make a valid attempt. This was a ploy by the family to evoke sympathy.

Someone who wants to commit suicide feels elation...not depression because they see the light at the end of the tunnel. They put their affairs in order, they say their goodbyes and then make a valid attempt. They do not leave repeated messages and leave hours for a search to happen. They kill themselves. This is a case of two people throwing a temper tantrum to get what they want and by condoning and coddling them, CBS has discounted the grief of hundreds of thousands who have actually felt the effects of the death of a loved one through suicide.

[Abby_Who]

Please ask Cindy why she would want to commit suicide while she believed Caylee was still alive.

Also...ask her why a recorded message on John Allen's phone indicated that she knew Caylee was dead long before the body was found.

[awareinflorida]

If there is information that could help free Casey, why not go to the Orange County Sheriff's Office and give it to them if it will prove her innocence? Why let her sit in jail and wait for a trial to show the "real story". Go now and tell them the real truth that will come out in trial now. Or do you have to wait for Baez to come up with a bunch of different stories to see which one will be the most believable? If there is a real story tell it now, don't wait. We are all dying to know what it is!

This nasty grandmother is the underlying cause for the grandchild's death. Everyone knows it, The lying is a family tradition. May they all rot in h*ll.
