Caylee Anthony: George and Cindy Anthony donate shoes, but not Caylee’s
Caylee Anthony
George and Cindy Anthony stopped by a shoe drive today and made a donation – but not the one that made headlines earlier this week.
“According to the director of this nonprofit, the Anthonys dropped off six pairs of shoes and a bag socks,” WESH-Ch. 2’s Jeff Lennox reported tonight. “At first it was believed those shoes were Caylee Anthony’s, but the director actually says these shoes were brand new.”
Cindy Anthony had said, via an e-mail to WKMG-Ch. 6, that she would give the charity some of her dead granddaughter’s shoes.
The charity, Children of Love Foundation, is sending all the shoes collected today to 22 orphans in Honduras.
WKMG’s Louis Bolden reported that the charity didn’t want the Anthonys volunteering at the event. “They hope the Anthonys’ last-minute involvement won’t hurt future donations,” Bolden said.
WKMG and WESH offered footage of the Anthonys arriving at the shoe drive and talking to others.
WESH also reminded viewers there will be a status hearing Monday in the case against Casey Anthony, the daughter of George and Cindy Anthony. She is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Anthony is not expected at the hearing.
