I have just received confirmation that Richard Grund will be joining us this afternoon on our radio program about Caylee Anthony and Haleigh Cummings. For those of you not familiar with Richard Grund, he is the father of Jessie Grund who at one point was engaged to Casey Anthony.
Richard and Jessie both cared a great deal about Caylee Anthony, yet both have come under attack from the Anthony family.
In what can only be called a sadistic move the National Enquirer are running a front page article about Richard Grund, and how he may have killed Caylee Anthony in some bizarre occult ritual. This story seems to have originated by some email traffic between PI Dominic Casey and Cindy Anthony that was released in the discovery process.
This is a program that you will not want to miss. Both the Caylee Anthony and Haleigh Cummings cases have seen a lot of movement this week, Listen in and hear what our crack panel has to say on the latest developments.
To listen in, point your browser to www.blogtalkradio.com  a few minutes before 3pm central (4pm eastern) and you will see the link to the program on the front page.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackBless Mr. Grunds heart. He’s been through so much heartbreak. Not only losing that precious little girl that they adored as their own but now these vile people want to make up a nasty story to create doubt. What a shame… Can you imagine sharing a pew at church next to G and Mommie Dearest C…. Because you know they probably never miss a Sunday so it would look good and they’d get sympathy. They are so twisted to have any involvement in contorting a story about Mr. Grund. They’re probably to only decent people she ever had in her short life.
Wow! Should be a very interesting program today!
Stop the abuse and murder of the children in the U.S.

Mr. Grund is a good man and no one should slander his name or his fammily. Jesse is a good example of how he raised his son, a man that was willing to be a father to little Caylee. Not many men would love someone else’s child like he love Caylee. God Bless the Grund family.
I am going to try to listen in. Not to computer savy here.
You know Simon, you have kept an impeccable blog on this case. I look forward to your ALERTS and listening to your comments. As well as TJ, Jan & Cobra…
Thank You for keeping this story alive!!
The best to you!! And Jan!
I am so ANGRY at the National Enquirer for involving the Grund name. Sweet Caylee had some good people around her (thank God) and now they are being dragged through the mud. I am, as always, just shocked at Cindy Anthony’s lack of conscience. She is bizarre.
The Grund family has opened their hearts and home to Casey and Caylee, showing them love and kindness.
I know that they adored Caylee and has suffered the loss deeply.
It’s unimaginable how the Anthony family can slander him and his son with such vicious, lies.
Rev. Grund,
My heart truly hurts for you and your family.
Dsntslp
God bless the Grund family all the way around they loved Caylee for who she was a child not from whence she came. IMO Casey murdered Caylee in a rage after she fought with her mother and hid the body due to the physical trauma Caylee expereinced. IMO I often think about how Casey did the neck breaking/cloroform searches and was telling Amy Cindy was giving her the house for her & Caylee, also how George had a mini stroke. In this vein of thought I often wondered if Casey was planning to kill her parents and her plans backfired when Cindy stood up to her and said she had to go and was going to take custody of Caylee?? Casey would have looked terrible to her friends she was trying to impress/using as she partied and just flipped out took it out on Caylee and now has to pay the piper.IMO only
angel blessings Sass
Simon and Jan: My heart goes out to the Grund family. They have been attacked from all angles. One attack which has been on my mind is the BNN Radio show last week hosted by Michelle Bart in which she questioned whether RICHARD Grund was ever ruled out as Caylee’s father. I almost fell off my chair! I would love to hear Richard’s reaction to such a nepharious comment.
Comment Edited by Jan Barrett – BNN Editor
frogs just for the record it wasn’t on BNN’s Radio Show that that was asked. Michele Bart has a show on Blog Talk Radio, which has nothing to do with BNN. It was on her own show. I just wanted to clear that up before someone blames us for that one. LOL
I feel very badly for the Grund family, even the Enquirer said there is no evidence to link the Grunds and that Casey is the only one responsible for what happened.
Wow! This will be an excellent show! My heart goes out to the Grunds. Jesse is a fine upstanding man and Mr. Grund has handled himself with pure class. Mr. Grund has not spoke negative about anyone that I am aware of. But I hope he unleashes today regarding Cindy.
A great man indeed. All my love to RD and his family.
Rev. Grund, My heart goes out to you and your family for what has been put upon you as well as the pain of the loss of Caylee. God bless you all.
When I read the previous Casey Anthony Case document dump, I was appalled at the e-mails between Cindy Anthony and Dominic Casey in trying to frame Jesse; then Richard Grund (after they had been cleared by LE) for the murder of Caylee. In my opinion, Cindy is vile, disgusting and despicable!
I have read Richard Grund’s response to Cindy’s accusations and e-mails. Mr. Grund, I hope you will retain an attorney and take the appropriate legal action against that vile woman, Cindy!
May God bless you, Jesse and your family. Based on evidence (document dumps), it appears you and your family were the only ones who truly loved and cared about little Caylee!
liberty (1:38 p.m.):
I agree with you. Mr. Grund does have more class in his little finger than Cindy Anthony could ever dream about! JMO
Cindy A. & George definitely have the devil in their heart. It’s one thing to deny that your child killed your grandchild, but to drag innocent people into it is vicious. They are doing their best to try & drag good people down to their level.
Sorry about the my mistake there S+J! I truly didn’t mean to suggest you had any hand in this. But if you would please ask him for his reaction, I would appreciate knowing how he deals with these type of snide, obviously mean-spirited accusations.
The National Enquirer will put any kind of ridiculous headline on one of their papers just to catch people’s eyes when they go through the checkstand at the grocery store. Does anyone take that magazine seriously?
They often have articles about space aliens that have landed too.
Hello everyone, Paster Grund is a very dear friend of mine and my client as well. I thank everyone for supporting him and his family as he has been under attack for 18 months now.
Soon it shall be our turn. Keep us in your prayers.
Does anyone know if that was Cindy on the phone trying to direct Dominic Casey to where Caylee was..Remember how it was said she was flirting with him at the dinner table etc.Its just bizarre how hard Cindy is working at this, so does this mean she was involved in some way, because why else would you do this, and what can be done that she is slandering Richard and Jesse like that..I hope the best lawyer will step up here and help Richard and Jesse, and give Cindy the medicine she deserves..How stupid do they think the general public is, Casey would let Caylee be missing for 31 days, with a decaying smell in her car in that hot humid weather..Normal people would have been screaming on the first day missing..Go ahead, explain that one Casey and Cindy as well, they were after all staying with you..Did Tony never ask where Caylee was and never seen her for 31 days either, that is where Casey was, because how could she go home WITHOUT Caylee????
Jan & Simon:
During today’s show, could you ask Richard Grund about the “radar” statement Cindy made….when he discovered the statement, did Richard go to LE and discuss it with them?
Cobra (2:27 p.m.):
I saw the video from Caylee’s Vigil that Mr. Grund had this year. I saw you in the video and it is my understanding you provided the security for Mr. Grund. Right or wrong?
I don’t buy the “National Enquirer”. Nor do I brouse through it.
But what difference is there between The National Enquirer and Nancy Grace??
I think this is a totally ridiculous story for the Enquirer to run. Are they also going to say Richard Grund stole Casey’s car and put Caylee in the trunk, and then broke into the Anthony residence, grabbed a roll of duct tape, and wrapped it around Caylee’s mouth?
LE luncheon interview with Cindy was noisey, but if you listen carefully, LE explains they believe whatever happened it was an accident and Casey panicked. They try to tell Cindy that for Casey’s own good, to avoid the DP, she should talk to Jose and Casey as the time to admit the accident will go past where no one will believe it. It is in her hesitation and reply…is the tell. She hesitates and then says, “No, I don’t believe it was an accident or Casey would have been the first to call for help, she’s always been like that. She would have no reason to not tell the truth about it.” By telling them it couldn’t have been an accident, she is telling them it was on purpose. I think the love/hate between these two caused Caylee’s death and even if it was an accident, Cindy is pretending to support her daughter but doing everything she can to insure she gets the maximum penalty…even death. One cold heart she’s got…no wonder Casey turned out like she did. Once Casey’s tried and convicted, Cindy and George can go on helping other parents/grandparents of “bad seed” offspring. Sick. jmho
I did and do, as well as other things Justice. As an answer to asking Mr. Grund questions, as you know we are putting together His case, and some, rather many questions can not be answered yet: so don’t take that as avoiding…..most of you understand, and I have promised to correct what they have “dun to Grund”……Mr Grund, or Pastor as I prefer to call him, will be vindicated.
Cobra, do you know if Amber B had a key still, to Ron’s place, I’ve been thinking in a different direction here..I’m thinking maybe Misty is just guilty of being out..What if Amber came in and got Haleigh, I just remember a neighbor saying, they heard a loud car,about 1:30 a.m. and we know Amber had borrowed Nay Nay’s car..Maybe she got her for Crystal, and that would explain Crystal not getting to Satsuma for6 hrs.Could Crystal have Haleigh somewhere??
During the river search with Padilla’s divers, the Anthony car had a missing poster up on the back of the dark vehicle with DUCT TAPE. You can see it in the news footage shot from that day. It was the day when Cindy and George were there, complaining about the plan for Padilla’s memorial for Caylee plans. It would be interesting to see if it was the same type or if LE searched their cars during the search for the tape after the Kronk discovery.
You get’em Cobra! And I mean all of ’em: Crazy, Georgette, $pindy, and Mean-shell Barf!
This is just horrible! Sadistic isn’t even the tip of the iceburg IMO. Richard should sue the pants off of them!
Sheller..one of the news agency’s noticed the duct tape on the poster that was on the pole by their house as to be matching with the henkle logo on it, there is a picture of it somewhere, it wasn’t that long ago..
This was removed by editor. Clearly this is not from the original UpRoar. The IP’s do not match!

Casey killed that innocent baby but her parents did NOTHING to protect Caylee from a mother they KNEW was exhibiting sociopathic behavior & was glaringly incompetent to care for herself let alone for a helpless child.
Casey is a killer. Her parents are guilty of gross negligence. They ALL had a role in the death of this innocent baby. Rather than admit this, they pretend THEY are victimized & look for scapegoats to take the fall.
Hopefully the Grunds will remain patient & do nothing to compromise the case against Casey & they will wait until after she is sentenced to deal with the Anthonys.
Let’s remember…. Justice for CAYLEE is the priority. The long list of still living victims of Casey & the Anthonys will have to wait for their justice.
Simon and Jan, I hope you take care of the poster “uproar” above, what a disgrace
uproar, that is flat slanderous words and you are hiding behind an alias but you could be sued for those lies – the truth will come out – why don’t you send simon or cobra your real name & address and any TRUTH that you have – instead of posting on here like a chicken shit
Agree Treece. These sad cases bring out a lot of sickening people hiding behind aliases, look at all the hateful lies Kendall the Pirate has posted about HaLeigh’s family.
She needs help and is clearly psychotic. She should keep her day job selling ketchup and give up on the hateful blogs
With respect to Grund; Caylee is dead and there is a trial coming up–let it play out in court.
What is new about a still-missing child, Haleigh Cummings? Don’t go all Nancy Grace on us now.
Thank you Simon and Jan!
Just came on to see if there was any news,just to find none,that is all I want or need to know,Haleigh’s story has taken a lot out of me as of late and I have to give sometime for a friend that is losing her life to cancer,she would love to live and watch her son grow up and has dedicated her life to her only child.Wish she could of had more children,she would of loved to raise a child like Haleigh,maybe if Haleigh is not alive she can take care of her in Heaven.Pray people please,for Haleigh and Heidi,my dear friend.
Jan, Simon, thanks for making those comments from UpRoar disappear so quickly. Not sure how you do it, but I love it.
Rev Grund and his family have been through so much already and to have someone purposely try and cause further pain is beyond comprehension.
There is a special place for people like that. As for the majority of us with good hearts and intentions, there is another much better place.
The National Enquirer is just a rag magazine that no one believes a word of anyway. If they were honestly interested in writing a true story about Rev Grund’s life, he has it right out there for the world to see and it’s enlightening to the rest of us if they’d care to read. Then they wouldn’t have to resort to writing smut. I haven’t had the opportunity to read all, but I plan to. There are some interesting articles in Solomon’s porch. He’s not hiding anything. There are no rituals or satanic sacrifices. That’s just Cindy grabbing at straws to try and save her worthless daughter. He does discuss his Freedom from a 30 year bondage. It’s an honest and helpful story because it’s something that could happen to any one of us.
Rev Grund, if you happen to read this, please know there are many praying for you and your family. I’m sorry if the earlier post caused you pain. That had to just be some idiot with nothing better to do than try and smear you’re good name. I really hope you didn’t get the chance to read it. It’s possible that it was one of the Anthony’s. Just my opionion of course.
God Bless you and your family. You have nothing to worry about because you’ve done nothing wrong. Thank you for taking the time to go on the show today.
Take care.
Again, Thank you Simon & Jan for removing the earlier posts.
One psychologist says that the whole Anthony family is given to creative thinking, and I believe that is true. Listening to Cindy’s tapes talking to LE and FBI is something else. She has played sick games with Casey for so long, and they are feeding off of each others’ delusions.
I believe George might be O.K., if he got away from Cindy, but he doesn’t have to give in to all of this twisting and sickness. It is eating him up, because it really goes against the grain with him.
karen, I agree with you Casey got alot of her sick ways from her mother. I agree that George
might be ok IF he got away from them but the last few times I have heard him he came across just as big of liar as Cindy or Casey are. It seems like Cindy has finally overtaken, broken, him. I can’t imagine how painful it would be to be in their shoes. I know I would love my sons even if they did this horrid crime to my grand child BUT I would still want the truth to be exposed.
Karon, on the other hand George’s willingness to go along with Cindy’s sick twisting of the TRUTH makes him perhaps MORE despicable.
George & Lee BOTH know right from wrong & yet they still choose to defend Casey’s pathological behaviors OVER Caylee.
Not one single Anthony knows the word ACCOUNTABILITY.
ACCOUNTABILITY OR HONESTY OR INTEGRITY
If any of you read the doc dump in the Casey Anthony Case, you were probably appalled at Cindy’s efforts to point the finger at Jesse Grund and Richard Grund. The Grunds were cleared by LE but per the evidence (doc dump) Cindy and Dominic Casey were e-mailing one another regarding the Grunds and in my opinion, trying to “throw the Grunds” under the bus!
The following is a Link to Richard Grund’s MySpace and he addresses the facts in response to aforementioned e-mails involving Cindy Anthony and Dominic Casey.

“For the Record” by Richard Grund
Case Closed Inc..
I feel really bad for the Grund Family for so long now. It is hard enough knowing what happened to Caylee, let alone having a family intentionally try to point the finger at someone else.. Very sick, warped family who does not care who they step on as long as they get their way.
I am very disturbed to hear about the Possibility of the National Enq. Running a story that is so absurd. They are basing a story on what they read from Cindy a known habitual Liar, who is self absorbed? That is a creditable thing to do.
Cindy is known to not tell the truth, even from the start, when she told LE that Casey was Responsible. George had to come back later and set the record straight with LE. Cindy says this to LE under Oath, even when she was “aledgedly” getting couceling to get custody of Caylee because Casey was irresponsible.
How Dare anyone run an article “Based” on anything Cindy Anthony has said.. It’s sickening, and disgusting, and “If the Story runs” I hope you take care of them and good!
What kind of person points the finger at innocent people instead of letting the facts play out? Those are not the kind of People you run a possible Story from, you can’t base anything as even near facts that come from their mouths!
Go Get them !!
Prayers are with you all~
To love2shop:
Based on the evidence (doc dumps which includes interviews, audio, video, documents, etc.), the Grunds were cleared but yet the Anthony’s, especially Cindy, tried to pin the murder of Caylee on Jesse and then Richard. IMO she is disgusting, vile and pathetic!
This year she and her P.I. are still looking for a live Caylee (per the e-mails in doc dump).
This is long after the memorial service she had for Caylee (to me, I thought the service was more about Casey, especially with all of the CMA, CMA crap by Lee)! I think Cindy needs to seek mental help. Her mother, Shirley, and her brother, Rick, tried to get through to her (e-mails in doc dumps) but could not.
The apple does not fall far from the tree. I clearly see why Casey is the way she is!
If the National Enquirer runs the story about Richard and/or Jesse Grund, I hope they file a lawsuit against National Enquirer. I certainly would …….no ands, ifs or buts about it!
Justice said:
Hi..
I agree with you.. I will also add that it is my belief that Casey really never stood a chance of being a “Normal Healthy Functioning Adult” with the role models that she had growing up. Especially that of her mother.It has become obvious to me too that The “Apple didn’t fall far from the tree, and their both in the same basket”. There was a “War” between mother and daughter for attention and control and the one that lost was Caylee. Then to never accept any responsibility for what she did to Caylee, is the same “to some extent” of what Cindy is doing to the Grunds.Casey has completely learned the “It’s not my fault” , “It’s someone else’s fault” attitude from her very own mother.
With what you we’re saying above, I think it shows the dsfunction that Cindy already had with her Core family. I have heard that Cindy’s nick name growing up in her family was “The Princess”. Well someone needed to knock her crown off of her head.
For them to not have a heart and be there for Caylee and truly sit back to see what happened to her is “Truly” sad and disgusting. Why talk and deny,deny, deny. Why not be sad and see where all the evidence goes. They are not healthy and or normal. Lee has it too, denying saying Casey’s great and he believes everything she says. The whole family is truly sick.
Cindy’s mother(Shirley) said to her daughter Cindy: I think Casey hated you more then she loved Caylee. Is another telling piece of this case and puzzle.
I agree with you on the actions the Grunds they should take regarding the Possibility of Anyone publishing comments and or theory’s about the Grunds based on “Anything” any of the Anthonys have said, is completely irresponsible and harmful equaling liabilty.
Unfortunately, I don’t think anything can be done with the actual source, ( cindy). As the Sunshine Laws allows the Public to get a hold of emails, and thoughts of others etc. Everything that was said by Cindy was done based on her thoughts or opinion. Just as she was telling LE who she thought may be responsible. If Cindy went out on National TV saying these are the ones that did it, “Then that would be a whole different case”. I think the Sunshine Laws need to be amended, there is no way some of the stuff we have seen and heard should be released. It hasa been so damaging to innocent people and harmful to their lives.
When I think about all of the Social Security Numbers being released, I think that is nothing but irresponsibilty on the part of the ones that OK’d the documents release. That to me is just common sense.
But back to Cindy, It’s just so frustrating, because we all know she wasn’t just in denial when she was pointing the finger and others, it was that she is just a “Spiteful B====” just as Casey described herself.
all of the above is in my opinion
To loves2shop (3:15 a.m.):
You are so right. In my opinion, the Anthony’s are one sick, dysfunctional family that are in denial.
Have you noticed it appears they do not have any friends, including siblings?
I think the Sunshine Law needs to be amended. In reading the doc dumps, it is amazing that they did not black out the phone numbers, addresses and SS numbers!
In Texas, they do not release (to the general public) LE interviews, evidence, etc. All of that info comes out during the trial.
Justice said:
Good Point about them not having friends. It seems that one would not be able to be in their circle long, and they would not like other people as well. I think as soon as a new friend comes into any of their lives, it is short lived. I think They get frustrated when others don;t see their side or do what they want to do, so then they just toss them to the side.
Remember when Casey was being questioned by LE? They asked her if she was watching the News on the case. In so many words she said: I like to look everything up on the Internet, because I can read it and then “Just get rid of it”!
I think that is a sign of her personality, It’s done over, time to move on, tomorrow is a new day.
It’s very self centered thinking and shallow.
I think she used the same Mentality regarding her daughter Caylee. It’s over, done time to move on, tomorrow is a new day. Each day is the beginning of a new day and life ( for “ME”).
Sad shallow people can’t stay close to others very long, either they are in and out of your life, or change friends a lot. They seem to become isolated more as adults, or get hooked up with other dysfunctional people.
I agree with you about the “Sunshine Laws”, they need to amend the Laws ASAP. I have to admit I have enjoyed getting to read “some” of the Documents ahead of time. But overall is is not a “Good Idea” and needs to be amended regarding Personal Information, and Criminal Cases. It should be set up for the Political arena, but closed to “Any” court case.
I was shocked when I first heard of the Laws in Florida. I think it is good in some arena’s but not in Civil and Criminal Cases.
all the above is in my Opinion
Please forgive my poor English skills, as I do not have any. TIA
however, I do have passion, and compassion. I Hope that is enough. : )
loves2shop, your English skills were fine and you expressed yourself perfectly.
To loves2shop (12:49 p.m.):
You said it beautifully! I, like you, have found the doc dumps interesting to read. I believe Florida does need to amend the Sunshine Law. I certainly would not want my personal information out on the Internet for the world to see.
I still do not understand why phone numbers, addresses and SS numbers were not blocked out. On some of the docs, the pertinent personal info was blocked out.
