Casey Anthony: Did George, Cindy Chase Two Mourners at High Speed?


WESH- Two mourners say George and Cindy Anthony chased them out of the Anthonys' neighborhood last night, WESH-Channel 2 reported this afternoon.

WESH anchor Jim Payne billed the report as "an exclusive story" and highlighted a photo "that could lead to a criminal complaint against the Anthony family." But WFTV-Channel 9 also had the story later. "More chaos over little Caylee Anthony," anchor Bob Opsahl said in introducing the story.

WESH's Bob Kealing reported that the women wanted to see who was removing their tributes to Caylee Anthony, George and Cindy's granddaughter. (The women erected crosses at a memorial site that was cleaned up last week.)

So the women, Denise Hill and Lois Peter of St. Cloud, waited last night and found out. They said they saw Cindy Anthony take down their cross and put it in George's car.

"I would have been fine if it was a stranger," Hill said. "But her grandparents? It's a cross in her memory."


Hill and Peter snapped a photo of George in his car at the site. And that evidently precipitated the chase through the neighborhood.


The women "say they were actually chased out of the Anthonys' neighborhood last night at a high rate of speed by George and Cindy Anthony and another couple," Kealing said. The other couple are Dennis and Sherri Milstead of Kid Finders Network, the women said.

Peter told WFTV: "They were in pursuit of us at high speed. Kid Finders had his strobe lights on his grille of his truck, like he was an officer trying to pull us over."

Hill told WESH that the two couples tried to corner her and her friend, then the couples got out of their car and walked toward them.

"Thank God for my friend's good driving, because she got us out of there," Hill told WESH. "Our lives were in danger. They were chasing us. We weren't chasing them."

The two women were talking to detectives and filling out a complaint, Kealing said outside the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

The Anthonys' attorney, Brad Conway, told WESH he knew nothing about the incident last night. Conway also told WESH that he was with the Anthonys until 10 last night.

Conway said last week that the Anthonys had nothing to do with clearing the memorial site, Kealing added.

Undeterred, Peter told WFTV that she and her friend plan to continue to putting up crosses. "We've got the wood to build 30 some more crosses, and we'll keep leaving a cross," she told reporter Derrol Nail.

Cindy always was controlling ... wasn't she. Still - true to form.
