What About Lee Anthony?

Lee Anthony: “He knows what he has done.”
Posted on January 24th, 2010 by Valhall
On January 26, 2009, WESH 2 aired a reported entitled, What Did Lee Anthony Know? In this report they quoted an unnamed source “close to the investigation” who stated “We kind of treat him separately. He knows what he has done.“ On that same day WESH also had a report entitled Lee Anthony’s Attorney Says Client May Be Charged, in which Tom Luka, Lee’s attorney, is quoted as saying:
There were a number of instances where he was acting on behalf of his sister, or on behalf of law enforcement, that now could be seen as something less than benign or could be seen as hindering the investigation instead of assisting it.
Luka went on to express concern his client might be charged with obstruction of justice or evidence tampering.
These reports have been the focus of much discussion and debate for the past year. The majority of opinions (including my own) have, in these discussions, fell toward the possibility that Lee Anthony attempted to wipe the hard drive on the laptop after he picked it up from Tony’s apartment. And while that may still be a possibility, I’ve come to believe that the things Lee knows he has done, may include more.
In an article entitled, Will Duct Tape be Casey’s Sticking Point? – The Connections, an article I wrote as part of a series looking at the importance of the Henkel brand duct tape in this case, I centered on the connections that have been established between the rare high-temperature Henkel brand duct tape found on the skull of Caylee Anthony and the Anthony family via George’s gas can and the presence of duct tape on a poster at a “command center” at which the Anthony’s were involved. That second photographic evidence was a still frame from a video shot by WFTV showing Henkel duct tape holding up a poster of Caylee at this command center.
In this article I centered on George being the owner of the Henkel duct tape, after all it was on his gas can, and it was at the command center at which he was present. In George’s deposition, as I reviewed in that article, he almost sounded like Rainman in his repetitive statements that “he didn’t put that there” as he referred to the photograph showing a piece of Henkel duct tape over the vent hole on his old metal gas can; a photograph that was taken August 1, 2008 when OCSO came to confiscate the two gas cans that had been previously stolen by Casey and had resided in her trunk for a few days – possibly during the same time frame as the body of little Caylee.
George’s main contention through-out the July 2009 deposition was that he never would have been so sloppy in the placement of the duct tape on the gas can. He explained the meticulous manner in which he would have placed it, had he been the one to place it over the vent hole. George also stated he had never intentionally bought a particular brand of duct tape, and didn’t even pay attention to what type of duct tape he kept at the Anthony home. In questioning during this deposition, George got a little “kerflunkeled” when he was interrogated about whether he had had the need to place the duct tape on the can.
This round of questioning centered on the fact that George stated the vent hole cap was missing to the gas can and, therefore, when he transported gas in the can in his vehicle, he always kept duct tape over the vent to prevent spillage and fumes getting into his vehicle. So the questions were asked in the deposition, since the gas can was empty on June 24th, 2008 when George recovered them from Casey, did he not have to mow his yard between June 24th and August 1st, 2008 when the gas cans were confiscated by OCSO? I think we’ve well established that the yard HAD to be mowed during that period, and probably repeatedly, taking into account the over 8 inches of rain that fell in Orlando during those weeks. On this question George waffled, ran over himself, and basically didn’t do a good job of answering it, but finally concluded he probably did.
This would require duct tape being placed over the vent of the gas can at some point between June 24th and August 1st because the gas can would have had to have been taken to a filling station and filled with gas, since it was empty on June 24th. Problem now is – it may not have been George who filled that gas can, and George may be telling the truth that he “never would have put that there” concerning the placement of the Henkel duct tape over the vent hole.
From Cindy’s interview with OCSO on August 4, 2008, beginning on page 33 Cindy and Detective Hussey have an exchange concerning OCSO arriving on August 1st, 2008 to confiscate the gas cans and Detective Hussey is explaining why they needed to come to the house (which caused “a media circus”) instead of asking the Anthonys to bring the cans to the station:
Q ….the reason that we send, the reason that we send someone out to pick that stuff up is because they, they lik to photograph it in place.
A I under….
Q Because if it ever becomes evidence…
A I understand.
Q …for something, okay.
A Yeah but that stuff’s been moved.
Q I know.
A George has….
Q I know.
A …George has mowed the grass.
Q Sure.
A On different occasions.
Q I know.
A Lee mowed the grass since all of that.
Q I know.
A And he borrowed the gas cans and the law mower…
Q A lot of that stuff….
A …in between all of that.
Upon noticing this statement for the first time, I decided to research the WFTV footage at the command center to find out if Lee had any connection to that operation. Here is what I have found. On page 35 of the same interview with Cindy she states:
A …On Saturday the 19th I had to go pick up some flyers at Kinko’s or not Kinko’s, Staples downtown at the, on Colonial Plaza. They wanted a family member to pick them up. That was the first time they were giving free flyers to us. George had made the arrangements. He was busy doing something, I said, “I’ll go”. So I went down to pick them up, what I did is I stopped at the drop point at Publix where they had set up the tent and where they’d been handing out flyers. I didn’t want to go by myself, I was gonna go down to um, because Lee was still down there at the time when I left. George was the only one at home…
Cindy then goes on to tell how when she got to Publix Annie Downing was there and they went together to pick up the flyers from Staples. She then tells about arriving home:
So when I got back to the house after dropping Annie back off at the Publix with the flyers. By then Jesse and Lee were back at the house.
So not only does it appear George was not at the Publix in the early part of the morning, but Lee was there during the “set up” of the tent. In researching what day the footage was taken by WFTV, I found that it was taken the following day, on Sunday July 20th, 2008. Lee was definitely at the Publix command center on July 19th, 2008, because he was captured in the following photo:

As obtained from News Chomp, and with the caption:
Friends and family of missing Caylee Anthony gather to pass out fliers in the parking lot of Publix at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail in Orlando on Saturday. Caylee’s uncle, Lee Anthony, talks to supporters, while wearing a Trenton Duckett T-shirt to remind people of the boy who went missing from Leesburg. (STEPHEN M. DOWELL, ORLANDO SENTINEL / July 19, 2008)
It is definite that the command center was up and running by 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 19th from this article by Bay News 9.
Caylee’s grandparents began handing out fliers at the Publix at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, hoping anyone will have information on the girl’s whereabouts.
But it appears that Lee preceded them to the location to “set up”.
Did the Henkel brand duct tape belong to Lee instead of George and Cindy? Or did he get it from his parents home and use it both on the gas can and the posters at the command center? Did he apply the “sloppy” duct tape to the gas can when he borrowed it some time between June 24th and August 1st, 2008? Is he the one that hung posters at the command center on July 19th, 2008 using Henkel brand duct tape? And is there something about this Henkel duct tape that is the impetus for the statement “He knows what he has done”?
