A Cessna 206, single engine plane chartered by Tropical Aviation Corp., carrying 6 passengers has crashed off the north coast of Puerto Rico and into the Atlantic Ocean.

Cessna 206 Likeness, not actual plane

Authorities located a debris field off the northwestern city of Quebradillas, and helicopters and boats have been searching for survivors, Coast Guard spokesman Ricardo Castrodad said.

The missing pilot and all five passengers are U.S. citizens, Castrodad said.

Witnesses reported seeing an explosion on the plane before it crashed around nightfall Sunday about a half-mile (a kilometer) offshore, police spokeswoman Jessica Cardona said.

Rescue crews were hoping the search for survivors would become easier after daybreak.

Caylee Anthony: Casey Anthony and Anthony Family … Texas EquuSearch Does Search for Living Missing Children and they Find them Alive … Owen Castle Found Safe

Anthony’s … it is possible to find two year old children that are missing … and find them alive. His name is Owen Castle.

Look what can happen when one cooperates with law enforcement and searchers and actually report a child missing immediately without waiting one month. We look to the case of Caylee Anthony and only wonder what if, what if some one had cared to report Caylee missing within 24 hours, would she be alive today?

To the family of once missing and now deceased Caylee Anthony, it appears after all that Tim Miller and Texas EquuSearch do search for missing children that are alive and they find them safe and sound sometimes as well when there is cooperation. Cindy Anthony had previously railed on TES for being mislead that they only search for deceased missing persons and that she wanted no part of a search that would do so.

The Texas EquuSearch search efforts for 2 year old Owen Castle in Llano, TX turned out to be a miraculous success. Owen was last seen in the early evening hours of Tuesday, February 2, 2009.  Owen was wearing Polo brand blue jeans, a long sleeve blue, shirt with white squares on it and a yellow stripe on the collar, red Croc shoes and white socks.

After numerous search efforts, two year old Owen Castle was found on a frigid morning and he was barely responsive. At first it was thought Owen was deceased, only to find that he was alive, barely. He was rushed to a local hospital to receive emergency care.

Back on The Market: Drew Peterson Dumped by Christina Raines

DREW PETERSON IS BACK ON THE MARKET AND AVAILABLE!!!

If you can get past how anyone can find this guy remotely engaging, you are probably one of those, “There’s a lid for every pot” people. That being said, if your singles profile has the box checked for: man most likely to be a murderer and indicted soon, then you will be glad to know Drew Peterson is up for grabs again.

Christina Raines, 24, mother of 2 and waitress in Bolingbrook, Ill was given an ultimatum by her Daddy. Ernie Raines came to Peterson’s home Friday morning with a news crew and the police and demanded that his daughter leave.  She returned the ring ,cell phone and  with any luck her common sense.  While it is a better exit strategy than Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson got, I am at a loss as to who would  risk a trip in the big blue barrel for this *person*.

Christina’s Father is to be commended. I don’t even care if he got paid to do it. She’s out, in one piece as were her children; crisis averted for now.

Caylee Anthony Doll Sales Suspended by Jaime Salcedo & Showbiz Promotions … Fire storm Reaction to Profiting from a Murdered Child

As initially reported HERE, the despicable sale of Caylee Anthony “You are my Sunshine” dolls  by Jaime Salcedo and Showbiz Promotions has been suspended. It just goes to show you that you can make a difference and some things in life are just plain wrong.

The idea that one would market a doll that is supposed to represent a murdered two year old child defies all human decency. It appears that the fire storm reaction has caused Jaime Salcedo and Showbiz Promotions the realization that maybe its not a good thing to make money off a murdered child.

Jaime Salcedo, president of Showbiz Promotions at the exploitive Caylee doll web site tried to offer up an explanation.

It was our intention to begin the sale of the Sunshine Caylee Doll at 12:00pm January 27, 2009. As we mentioned to the media in our press release it was very important that we allow the press to present our idea to the public first, in an effort to measure the reaction to our fund raising efforts. As the story developed we also announced that we would be donating 100% of the profits to charity. However, after reviewing the response to our media introduction of the Sunshine Caylee Doll and listening to the advice of the general public. We feel that is it best to suspend the launch of The Sunshine Caylee Doll.

What it should say is … [OK, you caught us. It was our intention to make an exploitive buck off a saturated news story. We thought by offering a ridiculous 10% of profits to a charity which we never named would con people into buying this reprehensible doll.  As the firestorm went on when news got out of us making money off a murdered 2 year old child we offered 100% of profits go to charity so to stop the negative phone calls and hate emails. Since even that did not stop the calls to our office and the one most notably from the Anthony’s attorney we decided to stop this terrible idea and look for a less public exploitive product to market.]

BIZARRE: Dad of Tot Mom Casey Anthony, George Anthony Goes Missing, Later Found … ‘Wanted to End His Life’

Has the pressure, lies, deceit, guilt and Casey’s despicable act become too much for a grandparent to bare? Why would George Anthony want to end his life?

Just when you thought you had seen it all in the case of murdered Caylee Anthony and indicted tot mom Casey Anthony. After months under the microscope and the pressure cooker, George Anthony, the grandfather of murdered Caylee Anthony appears to have cracked. Yesterday, George Anthony failed to show at a family meeting with their attorney. Of all things possible, Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported that George was missing. Police would track cell phone pings to locate George Anthony. Anthony had sent text messages to his family that said, “he wanted to end his life”.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Michael Chitwood said George sent text messages to his family that he wanted to end his life. Chitwood said George told him that there was a lot of pressure on him and he needed to think.

George was Baker Acted, or involuntarily taken to Halifax Hospital where he is being evaluated. At this time, George has not been admitted as a patient at the hospital. He was personally driven to the hospital by the police chief.

George Anthony was taken into custody on Thursday after being earlier reported missing. Detectives found George Anthony at the Hawaiian Inn Hotel in Daytona Beach at 2:30 a.m. ET Friday. He was taken into custody under Florida’s Baker Act for a psych evaluation.

Timeline and what transpired with George Anthony’s disappearance.

Caylee Anthony’s grandfather hospitalized, possibly suicidal

The exit question is, why would George Anthony feel the need to not want to go on? Just yesterday in another document dump, it was shown that Casey Anthony joked about drugging Caylee to get her to sleep. How much does George Anthony know and has guilt finally gotten to him?

UPDATE I: George Anthony Remains Under Psychiatric Evaluation; Grandfather Text Messaged That He Wants To Be With Caylee

Investigators said the eight-page note indicated George Anthony was at the end of his rope, and that once he was gone, his family would have a better life. He wrote about how strong his daughter, Casey Anthony, is and said he doesn’t believe she hurt her daughter, Caylee.

However, he did make dark, veiled references to his daughter’s friends.

George Anthony also wrote in the letter that his wife, Cindy, could do better than him. He also wrote about his son, Lee Anthony.

UPDATE II: ‘The Worst Situation You Can Imagine’

Actually the worst situation one could imagine is living with the guilt of of knowing who killed your grand daughter and doing nothing to provide justice for Caylee.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, you and I discussed last week when — when we were down in Orlando, I mean, sort of how complicated this is for the lawyer because you’ve — on the one hand, you’ve got to do the legal business, but there’s so many collateral issues, including the pain of these grandparents, who have not been accused of doing anything wrong to that grandchild. It’s a terrible situation for them, isn’t it.

CONWAY: It is the worst situation that you can imagine. And they are doing the best that they can. But you know, try to put yourself in shoes like this, and you just can’t. You just cannot imagine a situation where your only daughter is charged with the murder — first-degree murder of your only granddaughter. And they raised and took care of Caylee Marie as though she was their own.

New Tip in Jennifer Kesse Missing Persons Case from Confessed & Convicted Murderer David Russ???

Jennifer Kesse has been missing for nearly 3 years in Orlando, FL. Jennifer went missing on January 24, 2006. It is being reported that there is a new tip in the case as David Russ. a confessed murderer has come forward and claims he has information in the case of the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse.

VIDEO

A convicted killer may have some clues in one of Central Florida’s highest profile missing person’s case.

But two weeks ago the lawyer for a convicted killer contacts Drew Kesse, Jennifer’s father. While its not unusual for Kesse to get tips the latest came from a man involved ina high profile murder of a Central Florida woman.

“I think it just one more lead that has to be follow up on,” Kesse said. “If it turns out then we have something to go on.”

The tip came from David Russ who is currently in the Seminole County jail waiting to be sentenced after he pled guilty for the murder of Madeline Leinen in 2007. Russ asked to meet with Drew Kesse because he claims to have information about Jennifer’s disappearance.

Zenaida Gonzalez & Annie Leigh Downing’s Excellent Adventure: Zannie and Annie Go to Traffic Court

When asked the question, do you’re Clients still believe a Zenaida Gonzalez is responsible for what happened to Caylee? Brad Conway, attorney representing George and Cindy Anthony responds:

“They do, but not the Zenaida represented by Mr. Morgan…”

If your like me, you are as bewildered as one can get at the insistence of “Camp Casey”  to continue to suggest that a person with this name is involved in the abduction and murder of 34 month old Caylee Anthony. Perhaps Attorney Baez and his Cum Laude Clan are preparing their Columbo moment in this regard while fighting over who gets to be Colonel Mustard in the study .

Although listed as a witness for the Prosecution released by the State’s Attorney’s office on January 11, 2008, Annie Leigh Downing’s Interview with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has never been made public.  Her cell phone records and any IM or text messages between her and Casey Anthony have also never been made public although other witnesses have.

Failure To Yield

That may be the gross understatement of the year describing Casey Anthony. But in this scenario, it is actually a traffic citation, one of two, given to a Zenaida Gonzalez, on May 24, 2008.

Click to enlarge

No, again, this is not the Zenaida represented by Mr. Morgan, this is a different Zannie, with a birth date of January 11, 1986. Wow. Just a mere 3 months older than Casey.  Did they go to school together? Have mutual friends? Fellow Fusionite?

Nope, Not the Best Driving Record

Annie Downing had a rough couple months this Spring in the traffic area. On March 30, 2008, she received citations for both Speeding 15-19 mph over the speed limit, and for not producing her driver’s license and insurance card. While the presentation of those documents on April 18 cleared that part of the citation,  the speeding ticket remained open on her record until 2 online requested and subsequently granted extensions later on July 1, 2008. Why do we care?

Co ink y Dink or Other

There are only 3 plausible scenarios where  a material witness in a homicide case whose statement has been withheld, and  a woman with the name at the center of the linchpin of Casey Anthony’s defense get traffic citations on the same day. Throw in the tidbit that Casey met Tony Lazzarro for the first time at a party that same evening, and you have what appears to be in retrospect, the beginning of the omen for Caylee.  To be able to best portray the relevance of the above ZG incident as compared to known relevant dates in this case, I offer the following three theories with accompanying timeline.

Theory 1: Casey is using Zenaida as an alias

Robin Hood Alive in Orlando - Mark Nejame Rewards Roy Kronk $5K

I received this email this afternoon from Dave Earl, attorney for Roy Kronk:
MARK NEJAME REWARDS ROY KRONK $5,000 FOR DISCOVERING CAYLEE

Roy Kronk is very appreciative to Mark NeJame for his generous gift of $5,000. Apparently, Mr. NeJame received $5,000 for his earlier involvement in the case and has decided that since Roy did find Caylee, the money should appropriately go  to him. Roy is very thankful that Mark NeJame has recognized his singular efforts in finding Caylee and hopes that this sends a message to others that kindness does exist
for people who do the right thing in life.

David Evans
Attorney for Roy Kronk

In the interest of disclosure, Mark Nejame is a personal friend and colleague of mine and my husband’s.
We did not start out that way, however.

I was like most, “how could you represent those people, blah blah, Don’t you know, blah blah ?..” Without going into specifics , he did represent them and very well and in my opinion was the best thing going for them and they blew it. We have been on opposite sides of a few issues,  but  I ended up being right on every one of them and now we are buds cause that’s how I roll.

Kidding.

Mark is an extremely bright attorney and a devoted family man; He beamed when he spoke of his children and his wife. He has old-style European charm and  sincere confidence rarely found in a man with his beginnings.  He is self-made, and self-aware.

Anthonys’ Private Investigator Dominic Casey Video Searching for Caylee Anthony … “it would be right here.”

The question remains, who told Dominic Casey to search in the wooded area near where Caylee Anthony’s remains were discovered and who was on the other end of the cell phone providing him information? Is it possible as we have previously suggested that Casey Anthony was tipping off either members of her family or her legal team as to where Caylee was left? The PI’s just happened to not find the exact location.

Casey not going public as to who he was talking to on the cell phone; however, investigators do know.

The video of Anthony family PI, Dominic Casey, shot by fellow private investigator Jim Hoover searching for Caylee Anthony on November 15th and November 16th of 2008 is causing quite the commotion. The video is reportedly taken in the area where 2 year old Caylee Anthony’s skeletal remains were found. However, the video was taken approximately one month earlier.

There is some disturbing new video connected to the murder case of Caylee Anthony. Until now, investigators and only a few others have seen this video. Private investigator Jim Hoover shot the video of the Anthonys’ private investigator Dominic Casey on November 15th and November 16th of 2008.

This was at the scene a month before Caylee’s remains were found there — and at a nearby abandoned house. At both locations, he was focused on groupings of concrete stones.

This chilling video was given exclusively to WFTV.

Is it possible the the PI’s confused which houses to look behind? After all  Zenaida Gonzalez  could have been Code for Caylee Anthony’s Location and Not Just a Nanny’s Name?
