\"\"T<\/span>he other day I sat in a satellite uplink studio in San Francisco with an earpiece in my ear and a microphone clipped to my lapel, staring at a camera lens during a taping of the Nancy Grace Show<\/a>. 2,854 miles away in Orlando, Florida Drew Kesse, the father of Jennifer, a 24-year-old woman who has been missing since Jan. 24, 2006, was sitting in a similar room, wired up in a similar fashion, during the taping of the Nancy Grace Show. The Topic of the program was Dr. Phil\u2019s<\/a> interview with Casey Anthony\u2019s parents George and Cindy.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
A week earlier Drew Kesse came out swinging. He called the Anthony\u2019s \u201ca disgrace and an insult to every missing person and their families,\u201d and Dr. Phil \u201ca pimp for (airing) this garbage\u201d. I was looking forward to supporting Drew\u2019s position on the program, but alas the opportunity was never presented. Therefore, I\u2019d like to take a moment to explain why Drew is right, why Dr. Phil is wrong, and why the Anthony\u2019s have outstayed their welcome.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Drew and I have some things in common with George and Cindy. Like the Anthony\u2019s, we both experienced the loss of a loved one. My daughter Polly was missing for 65-days before her remains were recovered. Drew still doesn\u2019t know what happened to his daughter. However, he does know that she was taken against her will and remains missing to this day.\u00a0 That\u2019s pretty much were our commonalities with the Anthony\u2019s end, because from the moment that both of our daughters disappeared we had only one goal: to pursue the truth in recovering our girls. We didn\u2019t pursue celebrity or wealth. We were willing to do whatever was necessary, including turning in members of our own families to get our children back.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On the other hand, the Anthony\u2019s wouldn\u2019t know the truth if it kicked them in the butt. Their daughter Casey is apparently unable to tell the truth, and even if she did, how could you believe her? George and Cindy, as was \"\"demonstrated again in the Dr. Phil interview, are not only unable to acknowledge the truth, but continue to excuse and justify their daughter\u2019s narcissistic, homicidal behavior.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
During the interview Cindy said that grand mal seizures, a brain tumor and possible postpartum schizophrenia could potentially explain Casey\u2019s behavior. I\u2019ve never heard of seizures prompting murder, and according to the Psychologist on the Nancy Grace Show postpartum schizophrenia is a mental disorder that doesn\u2019t even exist. No, the similarities that Drew and I share with the Anthony\u2019s begin and end with the disappearance of our daughters.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"Generally, the families of missing or murdered children struggle financially. In our single minded determination to recover our lost children we put other worldly considerations aside. Families give up incomes, or become too depressed to work. Medical and psychological costs can devour huge amounts of our savings. Failure or inability to attend to mundane bookkeeping can result in home foreclosures and or mounting debt. I am not complaining; I am simply stating the truth as I understand it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
According to all credible reports Dr. Phil did not pay the Anthony\u2019s for the interview. Instead he donated nearly $500,000 to a \u201ccharitable organization currently being formed to honor their granddaughter called Caylee\u2019s Fund<\/a>.\u201d Truth be told, Caylee\u2019s Fund does not yet exist, therefore it is not a charitable organization, and therein lies the rub.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The Anthony family is handsomely rewarded for abysmal behavior. Casey gets away with murder, George and Cindy lie and parry and deny the truth, yet they receive a huge payoff from a daytime TV program seeking sky-high ratings. Caylee is still dead and the truth be damned.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
