ORLANDO -- George Anthony had a candid conversation Thursday with the media about the confrontation that took place in front of his house in the early morning hours.
Anthony gave media members a notice asking that anybody who can identify the people involved in Thursday's scuffle to contact authorities.
Then, Anthony opened up about the search for Caylee, the toll it is taking on his family and the massive media coverage.
"I hope you never go through this. I hope you never have a loved one who comes up missing," an exhausted Anthony said while hammering No Trespassing signs back into the ground after they had been torn up by protesters.
Physically and mentally drained, Anthony said he has found strength he never believed he had until Caylee went missing.
"I need your guys help. I need help from any country where she might be. She could be out of the country, I don't know guys, you guys don't know, I don't know. I just need your help. I need her photo to be out there as often as it can. It's been out there two-plus months now. It's fantastic," Anthony said.
Caylee's grandfather is trying to balance his love/hate relationship with the media. On Thursday, he was showing gratitude to the media for not only featuring Caylee every day for two months, but are also documenting the growing violence of Caylee protesters.
In recent weeks, he has lost his cool at suggestions that Caylee might be dead.
"I'm done. The only thing I'm going to react to is someone comes to damage my house or to hurt my family, I'm going to do everything I can, everything in my power, to take care of it," Anthony said.
Anthony said he will never give up hope that Caylee is alive, and believes anybody would be the same way if they were in his place.
"My granddaughter has changed since June 16. That's the last time I've seen her. I know that. I'm sure she’s grown taller. I’m sure she’s become more beautiful,” Anthony said.
According to Anthony, one thing that bothers him is this is the only missing child case getting any attention. He hopes other families in the area with missing children will get the coverage they need to get the word out.
Meanwhile, the homeowners association has filed another motion for a judge to reconsider the first injunction regarding the time, place and manner that people can protest or support Casey.
