CA: You're Steve? SM: Yes ma'am. CA: You're the Steve, right.
SB: Steve works with Seminole County. CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Right. And he's the one who arranged for us to be able to use this facility... I appreciate this. ...out of the way and... I appreciate this because you know it's just.. ... ... and away from everything else. ...so nice to get away from the media and all the other.. you know stuff that's... Hounds that are out there. I understand. I've been around these situations before. I don't know what Josh told you, but ... CA: You know we really didn't talk to Josh a whole lot about you guys' involvement. But I'm sure you guys had a huge involvement in his situation.
SB: We did.

CA: But when Lee knew that I was frustrated the other day and I said, because you know the.. they been telling us that FBI was calling last.. a week ago Monday night. The 28 th , but the 21 st .
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB:
Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: There was... you know we weren't sure if that was the case or not. And we were kind of wondering why you guys weren't called in, in the beginning when it was said it was a kidnapping. So, and I'm sure there's you know channels of communication and everything. SM: There are. CA: But the more frustration I got was from speaking with this witness from the airport. And you know I urged her to reach out to the FBI and she did. SM: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) CA: And she finally told me some information that I wanted to reach out as well. Because I mean it's just, I think we should be involved.. SB: Are you talking about the lady that was on the plane that...
CA: Wanda Weary, yeah. SB: Yes I have spoke with her twice as a matter of fact. And she felt put some concern out that nothing was being done. I let her know I mean that day we sent out nine leads. CA: Okay. SB: Urn, 'cause I'm working out the Orlando FBI Office and then...
CA: Okay good. SB: Working out that office for three years now.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Well there was some red flags with her you know. Not her, herself, but her urn, her react.. interaction with the Sheriff's Department. The first red flag was we.. she thought it was strange as did I, that they wanted to meet up with her at a McDonald's to do her statement and a composite sketch. Her and her son at a McDonald's. I mean huh, I don't know what you all do. I mean this is the first time I've really had any major.. My husband was a deputy sheriff in Ohio... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... for nine years before I met him and he you know was it for another year and a half until we said no more that's enough. I want to have a husband and a son for my.. I mean a father for my son at the time. SB: CA: Right. I mean so we're, you know I.. we don't know all the ins and outs and things like that. SB: Right.
CA: But I mean I would not imagine you'd take a fourteen year old and a woman to a McDonald's to do, get a written statement and do a composite sketch. That was kind of like a red flag and we were just kind of wondering were they blowing her off. She kind of felt like they were blowing her off. And her.. her stuff was so compelling I mean things that she said. She even said that she... Caylee had said her name. And the way she said Caylee's name. Because whenever someone would call in and tell us that they've already spoken with the you know the tip line. Now this particular tip came in urn, a week ago Tuesday on the 22 nd . She called me.. in fact I have urn, I take good notes all the time. She had called me on the 22 nd . I... we got home from the urn, bond hearing and I always listen to the messages to see if there's anything I need to take care of right away. And

hers was probably about a four minute message. And then I called her back and after I got done speaking with her, we probably spoke for ten minutes, I immediately hung up and relayed everything she told me to Detective Melich. And I documented 8:40.. I mean 8:14 P.M. that I spoke with him on the 22 nd . SB: CA: SB: CA: Okay. On his voice mail and told him everything about the, her sighting. Okay. And what she said, gave her the name and everything like that. She told me she had a difficult time getting through to the tip line. She said, she'd been.. had been trying since she got back from her trip. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And she didn't know until she got back from her trip, which was that weekend that Caylee was a missing person or she would've said something prior to that. SB: CA: Right. I mean the things that she talked about Caylee.. is Caylee. So, that's why it was kind of compelling. I mean from the baby doll to how she spoke. Why Caylee would go up to her puppy. She has Yorkie puppies... Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... she was on the trip to take the Yorkie puppy. We have two Yorkie puppies at our home. Um, you know that she came up to her and her son and they spent ten to fifteen minutes with this girl. Not just sighting across a restaurant like some of èm have come in. Or across you know the street at a gas station or what have you. This person said that she stated her name. She stated the fact that she was two almost three. I mean there's a lot of things that you know
CB:
sounded right. The other thing was she had a cap on. A lot of kids don't like
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
caps. Cay... Caylee has a lot of hats different types of hats, scarves... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... things like that. Those usually don't stay on, but typical baseball cap type of thing she'll wear, she likes those. And down to the baby doll that had no clothes on. Caylee's MO as soon as you give her a new baby it's stripped down to nothing. (laugh) SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: And you know Casey and I constantly try to keep the clothes on the baby doll. So, just things like that, that you know. And then the fact that she said Caylee and she said she really couldn't tell what the middle name was. 'Cause when Caylee speaks her name, full name she'll say Caylee Marie Antony. If you, if you ask her what her first name is she'll say Caylee. If you ask her middle name she'll say, Marie. And if you ask her what her last name is she says, Anthony very clearly. But when she runs it to, you know when she says it all as one big... SB: CA: SB: Right. ...sentence, which for a little girl that's a sentence. Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: Three you know parts of her name. the Antony comes out Antony instead of Anthony. So, again these are all .. I told her to describe what you saw. I mean I didn't say anything to her one way or the other that, oh my God this is it, this isn't it you know. I mean so, those were the things that were very compelling. The fact... I mean she described her down to what she was wearing and things like that and she noticed the other lady. So, her frustration later on was from the 22 nd
1
2 3 4 5 6 7
until what last Friday or Thursday she really didn't have any follow-up. And she was concerned about that urn, that she had not a follow-up with urn, anybody. SB: I can.. maybe allay some of those words for you in as much as a lot of times that's the problem. CA: I know. SB: With lead, tipsters and stuff like that. They want to know what happened.
CA: I know. And quite frankly it's our job...
8 SB:
9
CA: You don't always know. SB: ...to take it. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) To run the lead. But we're not going to tell them because that influences later on. Exactly.
10
11 CA:
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
SB: CA:
SB: What they come with. CA: Exactly.
SB: And, and we understand. We understand it, we hope that they understand it. But ah, we want you to know that those leads were followed up. We did identify the kids that were on that plane. CA: Did you? Okay.
20 SB: Yes.
21 22 23 24 25
CA: Alright. Because the detective told my urn, son on the weekend, which was Saturday, just this past Saturday. That they urn, wasted a lot of time at the Orlando Airport tip. And that the video did not pan out. You know that there was you know nothing. Well, I have.. I know someone that works at the airport. They said their.. the video is not available because the video had already run over.
1 2 3 4 SM: 5 6 7 8 9
So, I don't know if that's true or not. So, if they're telling us that they looked at a video and didn't see Caylee on that video. Then is that truthful or is.. was there a video and whatever. I don't know, I don't know about videos I know that and perhaps you know a little bit more about this particular instance? With the manifest and that kind of stuff? SB: CA: SB: CA: Yeah. I know that you know I talked to Wendy like I said twice. Wanda? Um, I'm sorry Wanda (Inaudible)... (Inaudible)... And ah, that she you know raised some concern on Friday about nothing being done. And I explained to her ah, well actually after that we'd actually ah, received information from Orange County. Some of the.. 'cause we're trying to handle the out of state leads. And forward èm to the appropriate jurisdiction where those agents can go out. CA: SB: Right. And ah, contact those individuals. That's what happened in this case and that was like one of nine other cases that we sent out that day. CA: SB: Okay. Urn, and really the only reason I called her in the first place was. Sometimes you just don't know whether people hear what they really did. CA: SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Ah, because this one child's name was ah, a similar name. And it's, it's like a female being called Debbie Lynn or Donna Lee. CA: SB: Right. And someone asked your name well it's Donna Lee smith.
10 SB: 11

2 3 4 5 6 7
CA: SB:
Right. Urn, and that's wanted to find out is this why, you know are you sure and certain what she heard.
CA: SB: CA: SB:
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I never got to that point. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Urn, because ah, she was confident in her mind that when the little girl said my name is so and so. This is what she expressed to me, she said, no and she kept on referring to her as Caylee.

lo
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
CA: SB:
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And so I said well my point is moot. I don't think she's.. she's got the mind set that this is what she feels happened.
CA: SB: CA: SB:
Right. So, urn... Well... ... you know and I understand that and I wasn't trying to change her mind whatsoever.
CA:
No. Oh I understand that to. But she thought it was a red flag to 'cause she said the urn, agent at that time she thought it was Steve but wasn't sure.
SB: CA:
Right. And she said the one question that they asked is urn, did she speak with Mr. Baez, Jose Baez Casey's attorney. And she said, no and she hadn't. I hadn't even given that information. Right. I was trying..
24 SM: 25
SB:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
Jose has not let up...
SB: Yeah. CA: The only person and urn, I had not spoken to any person regarding Wanda's name to anybody except to Detective Melich when I gave him that. To (Inaudible)... SB: Oh yeah. CA: 'Cause I'm not gonna rat out any lead or tip. SB: CA: SB: Right. Or do anything that's gonna jeopardize the investigation for... I was trying to find out was this first hand knowledge she had. And was there any interaction with him. How did this lead get out there. Ah, 'cause you know it's strange when all of a sudden somebody's calling you and not the crime line. But you just explained ... CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Well she tried. Yes that's.. She said she tried for over two days.... And then, we had... ...and it wouldn't go through. .... no knowledge about that at that time. Right. And so after talking to her that day you know like I said, we did send those leads out. And then once again she called again on Monday. And ah, I was actually waiting on someone else for this case to get involved doing something else. And ah, she wanted to come in and talk. I said, well how many times have you talked to Orange County? She said well three different times and I provided a sketch
but they haven't put the sketch out there. I said well you've talked to them three
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 lo 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
different times I don't feel there's anything else you can really add to me. I said... CA: SB: Right. ...we, this lead has been you know sent out. It's gonna be taken care of. And those were her concern I guess. And she threw some things out there like you know it's falling on deaf ears, nothing's going on. I said, ma'am unfortunately in cases like this. There's gonna be leads from everywhere. CA: Absolutely. SB: Everywhere and so there's.. there's you know Orange County they're doing what they can. To you know look at these leads that's why you know we're trying to handle the out of state leads. FDLE is trying to handle the instate leads. I mean and there's a lot of people involved and not helping some people I understand. And some people.. CA: SB: CA: I just... ... understand that. ...I hope they are doing everything they can because she urn told me that right after that person did her.. the sketch. Urn, actually she's involved her 14 year old son in this too, you're well aware of that. Her 14 year old son... SB: CA: Right. ...was also brought into McDonald's, statement taken. I mean most mothers wouldn't bring in their children into something like this unless there was... they would have pretty you know definite feelings about it. I know I certainly wouldn't involve my kids if.. on a whim on something of this magnitude. Urn, I lost my point. Oh that the officer, after I took the sketch he leaned into her and says, I don't know why we're doing this 'cause the little girl's dead. And that's upsetting
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
to family members, it's upsetting to people like her. Um, to hear those types of things. And from the way everything's being handled right now, you know it's very obvious right now that they're focusing their concerns on building a case against my daughter. And for whatever reasons you know that's fine they can do whatever they want. But I don't want the investigation stopped into looking for Caylee. Because urn, I know my daughter did not kill her and I have more and more things that I want to share with you today. Urn, and urn, it's just it's just very disheartening the way everything is from the judge it sounds like.. I mean nobody on these charges or not even charged, she's not even charged with anything should be treated this way. I mean a half a million dollar bond on something for two misdemeanors and a third degree felon. She hasn't even been formally charged with anything. I mean ... SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: When you say she hasn't been formally charged with anything. She hasn't been charged with anything. You mean in relation to what? Into anything that would constitute urn, a half a million dollar bail. Okay, but she have... we are all understanding she has been formally charged with crimes. CA: SB: Not that.. as far as her attorney said she hasn't been formally charged with... The way it works she hasn't been formally charged with anything as it relates to the disappearance of Caylee itself. CA: SB: CA: SB: Right. She has been charged with crimes as they relate to the investigation part. Right, like you know misleading... Okay.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:
....or something like that. Right, the obstruction and interference and... And... ....child neglect. ....child neglect. Of which..
SB: Which are crimes. CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: ....they're saying. Right if there's child neglect. But... Right. But I'm not saying guilty. Right. Not guilty. Right. What I'm saying is.. But the thing of it... ... I want to clarify to you... ... is the way the media is and the way the sheriff's department is focusing and even the judges' rulings. I mean it's hard for the public.. I mean I get phone calls all the time that say you know that they're saying that urn, they stand behind us they believe Casey, they believe in everything we're doing and they believe Caylee's alive. But we got this one or two phone calls that say, give it up, she's dead things like. It only takes one of two people like that that could potentially be looking for her. That may have crossed her path that we're impeding finding this child. And that's the point where I'm very frustrated with. Because it's almost like in the eyes of the media and the eyes of the Orange County Sheriffs Department they always have.. they already have an open and shut case against my daughter. There's a lot of evidence out there that's not evidence yet. There's
1sa9
a lot of urn, mis-statements out there of things. And just from even the holes in
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Melich's report there's holes all in it and mis-statements. So, there's also a lot of clues that Casey's been giving. And I guess that's what brings us even before last night um, there was a lot of concerns, lot of red flags. My son and my husband and I have had an opportunity to get past that initial shock of not having Caylee in our lives right now. Urn, we're starting to put things together and it does make a lot of sense. She's been saying all along that she's doing the best she can. Just wants someone to hear what she's trying to say. SB: Right.
10 CA: When they released the video tapes of my husband and I in the jail last Friday, 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
interviewing her.
She said she wanted to speak with someone from your
department. She does not have the faith in Detective Melich or Sergeant Allen. She also states that she would've been willing to speak with Appie Wells, who is a detective that, or one of the deputy sheriff's that was at our house on Tuesday late evening to Wednesday the 16 th , early morning. And that's in those videos. I don't know why that has not been, that has not taken place. But Orange County Sheriff's Department's aware of that and so is her attorney. SB: Right.
CA: And I'm not sure why that communication... SB: CA: SB: Well let me... ...out there. Let me, let me breach that subject with you. Part of the problem is, that Casey is a charged individual. She is a represented individual. If she says, I want to talk to the FBI or she says, I want to talk to FDLE or whom ever she says to you. That's fine, but unless she calls me.
7530
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I cannot initiate that contact at all.
SB:
CA: Okay. SB: Because she is a represented individual. If I were to go to want to talk to her. What I have to do is I have to go to her attorney. CA: Okay. SB: And, and that's the only way that I can talk to her. Your attorney is going to her attorney. CA: Right. That's how.. I apologize. Her attorney is obviously going to have certain stipulations. Certain rules about her conversation. CA: Right. Right I understand that.
10 SB: 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: My, my rules for Casey would be very simple. You were the last person with her. CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
SB: There have been inconsistencies and outright untruths that have been provided to law enforcement up to this point. What is going to change in our conversation that is going to help us find Caylee. That's what.. that's all I would want to know. Because quite frankly I've listened to a little bit of what she has told them and what she has done up to this point. And I think we would be in agreement if we're looking at her from the outside in. CA: And not knowing what her motive is. SB: And not knowing what her motives are. There, there have been misleading things done by her on certain occasions with regard to finding Caylee. CA: Right.
7S 3

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB: CA: SB: CA:
Not with regard to anything else, with regard to .. Right. ...strictly finding Caylee. Right. Well, and I think understanding urn, a little bit more everyday, again she's maintained from the day one that Caylee was taken away from her you know. She handed you know she gave in good faith Caylee to this person that day. And then was betrayed by that person. Urn, and that person has.. you know is not bringing her back. And is trying to make either some statement um, to Casey, which now makes more sense. I mean I'm finding a little bit more out having a conversation with her that I didn't have an opportunity to speak with her that, those few hours that I had with her.
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB:
Right.
CA: Wednesday morning before she went in. And understanding her fears. I mean Casey's a lot like um, I am as far as regards, I would lay down my life for all of my children. If I knew right now that someone picked up the phone and says, Mrs. Anthony take a butcher knife and put it through your heart and we'll return Caylee, I would do it without question. That's.. I would do that without question. And uh, knowing Casey the way she is, she'll do anything to protect her daughter as far as if she feels that she's in harms way or her family. And those... I hope you guys get to see the urn, tapes of George and my visitation with her because she.. she's talks about this that she is protecting the family. And I made her clarify that because if somebody protecting the family with, if you're protecting about our feelings or what people might think. Our lives are out there I mean there's nothing you can do that we're.. that could hurt us anymore then the loss of not having Caylee with us and even having you where you're at.

SB: CA:
Right. She says it's not emotional mom it's physical. So, I have to believe that she's fearful that someone is threatening her daughter or one of us. And what I'm gonna be telling you may make more sense to that. The more you start thinking.. she told me remember the conversations mom. When she talked to the detectives that night you know she told them that she you know um, couldn't take the hurt. You know them to Caylee okay.
SB:
Right.
CA: Because she didn't know where Caylee was at. But she knew who had Caylee okay. But she didn't know where they holding Caylee. And um, Casey told me 'cause I asked her I says, well why were you not where you said you were? And she says, well mom if I'd come home without Caylee it'd been a red flag. You would of called the authorities. She goes it wouldn't been safe. You know um, it wouldn't been safe. That's why she didn't feel comfortable going to she was very relieved when I drove her to the first um, police annex. If you listen to the 911 the first 911 tape I drove her to the police annex. Mainly just to say can you help convince her I need to, I want to see my granddaughter. Because it, it just didn't make sense all at that point to me there was a big red flag. SB: Okay I want to ask you a question.
CA: Yes. SB: Before you go on.
CA: Yes. SB: And have you listened to the new information that you haven't even told me yet? CA: (No verbal response). SB: Step back look at it objectively, does it makes sense to you?
CA: Yes it does.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB: Okay. CA: Everything's making sense more and more everyday. SB: Okay. CA: More and more. SB: Because I can tell you how..
CA: If I'd known what I know now. SB: ... it does look to the outsider.
CA: Well I know it does look weird to the outside world, but they don't know all the little things, all the other ..everything else that's going on. They don't know the conversations that we've had. And she told me in our conversation at the Sheriff's Depart.. or the when we were at the urn, visitation. SB: Yeah. CA: Video visitation. She said mom, remember everything I told you over the last month. Think about things that we talked about. Where I said that we were, who we said, who I said I was with. You'll figure it out. And I for a few days was racking my brains. Well I can't figure out what Tampa had to do with it and Jacksonville had to do with it. And I'm thinking cities it's not so much cities as where she said she was at or what they were doing at that particular time. And last night I received a phone call at 4 o'clock somebody from Seattle, Washington called me with a thought you know. Waking me up at 4 o'clock in the morning. Finally I'd actually fallen asleep for a night where I could've gotten more then 2 or 3 hours together. So, I, I asked her if it was something pertinent and she said she thought it was. But it really wasn't it didn't.. it wasn't anything it was just a thought that she had. But while I was up I just got this weird feeling and I go oh
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
my God! 'Cause when something occurred to me about what she said about
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
thinking about the conversations. And all of a sudden I was already awake and I just sat there and I started writing things just writing things down. And this is something I did.. I even out it out.. I didn't even think about what my son had said a couple of weeks ago about, mom all her friends.. because I was suspicious of one person, which is still I'm suspicious of. And I've told the authorities of that and um, elaborate on that with you. But Lee said, well what about this, what about this and I'm thinking. Well no I mean I don't see any relevance but the more and more my God I see relevance. Because re-reading this and everything.. um, Casey has stated.. Now for a while there Zanny has referred to as the Zaneida. Um, I never knew Zaneida's full name Zaneida Fernandez Rodriguez until not too long ago. Maybe a month or so ago. The baby sitter's name was always Zanny for short. Just like I'm Cindy short for Cynthia.
My
11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
friends don't call Cynthia they call Cindy. So, Zanny has been someone she's spoken with for pretty much just before or right around Caylee's birth. So, almost three years that she's been in conversation. You know that she had met this person through a friend that she had met through Universal Studios. And this person um, was a urn, young man who was a single dad and he has a son that's a year older then Caylee. So, Zachary's gonna be 4 where Caylee's gonna be 3. And they're about a month you know a year and a month apart. And so you know this is one compelling thing. I don't think my daughter's..
my
granddaughter's birth is plotting this murder for my grandchild. So, this person's not been made up in the last month or two okay. SB: Have you ever met Zanny? CA: No I haven't.
SB: Okay. CA: And you know it's... I don't really.. you know a lot of people say, well you're grandma you're suppose to be concerned why don't you know. Well you know what? I trust my daughter. I still trust my daughter. SB: Yeah. CA: For her decisions. She has always been and you guys can interview all of her friends that have known her you know, even before Caylee was born, but certainly since Caylee's born. That Casey's primary focus is always Caylee's wellbeing. If she took Caylee somewhere, if someone was smoking she made sure that person was away so that smoke wouldn't you know be around Caylee. I mean everything if she took her to a neighbor's to watch for an hour or so. She had every little thing there that she could possibly need with instructions, phone numbers blah, blah, blah. I mean Casey's always been the type of mom that's you know just perfect. I mean no ever signs of anything. And I mean I lived with her it's not like you know I only visited her once a week or a couple of times a week and got to baby sit Caylee on the weekend. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: I mean they lived with us. She was a loving mother. And you know I hope that the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree. I mean I always felt that I've been an excellent mom with the kids. And was very nurturing and I saw that in the my daughter. And that's why I know um, no way did she do any harm. And I feel that at this, I feel if Casey had done something where she felt that it was an accident I think she would've come forward, I don't think she'd be putting the family through all of this. So, that's why I really, truly believe she would've cracked by now if it was an accident and she was trying to cover something up.
If it was at her hands like if something happened that Caylee fell, hit her head or
2 3 4 5 6
whatever. I even ran scenarios against urn, with this to the urn, to Sergeant Allen. I said you know we have a pool in the... you know backyard we have an above ground pool, which we had a few years before Caylee was born. And even before Caylee could walk we got in the habit of taking the ladder off every time so that you know... we started a habit. Sure. Prior to having to use that you know need that... Right. ... habit. Urn, just like us locking the sheds or whatever. Locking those up so that Caylee you know when she could.. 'Cause she learned very early how to turn the knob. Casey was the one that went out and bought all the protectors child proof protectors. Half the adults can't open you know..

14 SB: Yeah.
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
....squeeze the knob to get out the doors. So, I mean urn, we're always very mindful of things like that. But I even asked that when they had the cadaver dogs in the backyard. Did you check the rocks around the pool? Because we have the urn, our yard slopes.
SB: CA:
Right. Okay. So, we had to build it up a lot. So, we have retaining wall where the pool is. And I said, did they.. did they look around the pool? Was there anything.. what if she fell getting off the ladder or getting to and from you know.
SB:
CA: Because you have to climb the ladder up and climb down. We never let Caylee climb herself, we're holding her. So, you know God forbid something happened
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
she slipped with her foot being wet. They said, no Mrs. Anthony nothing like that. So, that made me feel better in case of that as well. You know and just things like that. I put it out there, you know because it does cross your mind, well what if? That crossed our mind for a brief period of time and then it faded away. Because I'm thinking, that would be the only thing is if something like that happened in the house or whatever. If it happened at someone else's hands I don't think she'd be protecting them. In my heart I know she wouldn't be protecting them. If.. if something happened that was an accident, I think she'd be you know coming out and say, it was an accident I could you know vouch for them blah.. blah.. blah. And she wouldn't be putting the family and everybody through this. SB: Okay. CA: Um, so... (sigh) Zanny to me can be referred to as the person watching Caylee. We've... the other red flag with the Sheriff's Department, they told us right away right that very first night after Casey was taken into custody. And the next day they said that they could only find one Zaneida Fernandez Gonzalez in this area and they checked it out from Kissimmee. Well, since then you know people have been pulling up records, people searches and all over and there's at least nine in Orlando and four or five in Fort Lauderdale and New York. Casey said from the beginning that Zanny was from New York. She then had a Fort Lauderdale connection. She has a Fort Lauderdale phone number at one. Urn, that there was New Jersey connections, there's New Jersey urn, people by this name. So, I'm just saying there are people out there. Just because they didn't find someone right now with this. And Casey had told me over the last three years that Zanny had moved at least three different times that I was aware of.
15 3E
SB:

CA: Okay. I was actually the one that gave the police urn, the last known number that.. address in case I ever needed to go pick Caylee up, out of my address book. And in his report Melich's report it says, an initial responding deputies had
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
found a handwritten note with the address of, 232 Glenwood in the defendant's car parked to my arrival. Well, that's not true. They knew they had an address that Casey had provided them that was real close okay to that area. When that didn't pan out I said, well wait a minute. I think I have an address.. I went into my kitchen, pulled out my address book and pulled out that yellow sticky note that had the Glenwood Avenue address. And walked it out and said, I just got this out if my address book, try this one. So, you know I mean just things like that. That's a mis-statement right there. Bottom line is the tie with that 3.. 232 Glenwood Avenue.. That's the address of the person that I think has something to do with... that's all part of this. SB: CA: Is that the apartment complex? It's the apartment complex and urn, these people that I'm gonna talk to you about currently live there. Okay. SB: Okay. CA: So, again if Casey couldn't... did not want to take them directly. And if they knew that she had them right then and there or something. I don't know I don't know all of Casey's reasoning. All I know is what I'm piecing together and I think could be some excellent leads to go on 'cause it's making sense. And if you guys, if it doesn't pan out that's fine I just want to help in anyway that... You guys may start thinking about when I start going into this, it makes a heck of a lot of sense.
SB: Okay. What, what I want to point out to you and I want you to remember this

whole time. 'Cause I'm not going to.. mislead you or lie to you or... CA: SB: I understand. ... make you feel good about anything because...
4
5
CA: I know. SB: CA: ...that not my job. I know it's not. What... what I do want you to understand. I want you to keep it in the back of your mind all the time. Is that we have a young lady with a missing two year old child. And she happens to be your daughter. Okay. Understand that. And I understand that she is putting out to you that she's very fearful of her, her daughter's safety for some reason or another. At this point in time it has to be made clear to Casey. That your daughter's safety maybe in jeopardy. But the only way for us to find her is for her to tell us. CA: I know.

CA SB
CA
We're trying, we're really trying to get as much out of her as we can. A couple of months ago way before all this happened. I saw this photograph of Caylee.
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I.. I said, oh where was this taken? She said, that's Zanny apartment. Okay. That that's Zanny's apartment. Okay. That.. what... Can we keep this? Or do you need it back? I.. you can have it, I can print another one off the website. Okay, but that picture with the urn, I don't know if you're familiar with the Rock Band with.. that hooks up to Nintendo or one of the things where...

CA SB CA
SB CA SB CA
Right. ....the kids could play. Yeah they can play drums. Yes. Caylee loves the drums. She's always loved the drums in fact George and I have been kicking around when to get her drums. Third birthday, fourth birthday, fifth birthday. Because the girl can keep a beat.
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) She's been able to keep a beat since she was two. She's.. I mean with music. I mean she can keep a beat and she loves to bang on the drums. And I asked her about that photograph a few months ago. Because I said, oh you know
7S ti I
whose apartment is that? Has Caylee been on the drums. She says, yeah and
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Zanny's been teaching her and Zanny also has a keyboard. Well, my daughter has a keyboard. Caylee has a couple of little keyboards, but Casey has a big keyboard. Um, Caylee loves music. I mean Casey did the same thing I did when
I
was pregnant. I introduced the um, I just used to play music all the time to my
belly. I introduced Mozart and Beethoven and Bach and all the classical stuff. Besides what's out there now. You know Casey did the same thing. She borrowed all my CD's and she introduced the same thing. And my kids both love you know music and things like that. And Caylee just loves it, she loves to
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
dance, she can... has rhythm I mean it's really cool. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) So, I think there's something to that invitro stuff that you can really influence a child on you know what they like or don't like. SB CA Right. Um, so I.. that stood out in my mind that several months ago before all of this happened. You know that she said that that was Zanny's apartment. So, the picture right there, Zanny's apartment. And again Zanny may not be Zaneida. Zanny maybe referring to the nanny or the baby sitter someone watching them. Um, so Zanny's apartment right now to me in that photograph is a big clue okay. That picture right there. This was again stated before all this happened. That, that was Zanny's apartment. SB CA And how old is this picture? Probably.. this is, this dress is only since the beginning of the year so probably maybe between March and May. Taken somewhere in that time. SB Okay.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

CA SB
Okay. And urn, and like I said that's... Casey, Casey told you that was Zanny's apartment?
CA Yes I asked her specifically you know where was that taken 'cause I was interested in the drums. You know because I... I didn't recognize that apartment. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Well, I just found out urn, a week ago that that's Ricardo's apartment. Ricardo was someone that Casey had been seeing and just had broken up with at the... SB CA So, this is Ricardo... ....the week... Ric... week before Caylee went missing. Okay how.. how do you know... how did you find out this is Ricardo's apartment?
10 SB
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA Because um, Amy told me. Amy was the person that took me to Casey on the 15th of July. And Ricardo confirmed that when he was at my house a week ago that, that... that indeed is his apartment. SB CA SB CA SB CA SB CA Okay. Okay, so that's Ricardo's apartment. Right. That's a fact. So, it wasn't... Ricardo Morales. ....Zan... it wasn't Zanny's apartment like Casey said it was somebody else's? Yeah someone else's. Ricardo Morales' apartment. Okay, which is very key because the address that she took the detectives to on Glenwood. Ricardo lives in that complex. Ricardo and Amy are roommates now. I just found out that Ricardo and Amy were roommates. SB Okay.
15'43
1 CA
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
That's also Ricardo where he lives. So, that's another thing that's important. Right. The location of his apartment... okay that's the one the picture of Casey.. or of Caylee. And again I haven't put all these thoughts completely down on paper. I was jotting stuff down last night, but...
SB CA
SB
Glenwood right?
CA Yes on Glenwood. SB CA (Inaudible).. And I'm not sure exactly what apartment number it is, but he lives in that complex. In that, over there okay. Urn, the detectives also said that there's a person by the name of Zaneida looking at apartments in that. So, I don't know if Casey knew... I don't know what that tie is in I haven't figure that out or not. But urn, either Sergeant Allen or urn, Detective Melich said that you know a person by that name did look at those apartments sometime back. So, I don't know if Casey was aware of that or what and used that a reference and that's why Zanny came into this picture. SB She.. she's.. well she said specifically from my understanding that she did drop Caylee off at Zanny's apartment at these apartments. CA SB CA SB CA Right, well Ca... That's what, that's what she... my understanding is that was what she told them. Right and Case.. Caylee was at that apartment quite a bit is what I'm getting at. Okay. Yeah she... Urn, from Ricardo statement to the police and to my son. That he.. Casey actually stayed at his house on June the 9 th and the 10th I think. Either June 9th or June 10th that she stayed over and he saw...

SB Was Caylee with her? CA ...her. Yes. He saw her on June 1 1 th and that's when they had a falling out, on June 11 th . Which was the week before Caylee turned up missing. Because the last time that my husband saw Caylee was the 16th. SB Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA And the 16 th was um, the day that Casey says that you know she went back to get.. pick Case.. Caylee up from the baby sitter's and they weren't there. Okay. So, I think that's a kind of important to because just a week prior. Now the other thing that didn't hit me strangely. Um, Casey has told me all along that urn, Zanny had been a seasonal employee at Universal Studios. Um, I'm not sure I haven't figure this out yet 'cause I haven't had a chance to look into it. I'm not sure if Ricardo's ever worked at Universal. SB And when she refers to Zanny she's saying the person that she dropped Caylee off with? CA Yes. SB CA SB CA Had worked at... And she talks... ....Universal? ... and when she talks about Zanny she talks about um, um, that.. that she was a seasonal and also her roommate was a seasonal. Zanny had a roommate name Jennifer. Is what she told us. And Jennifer was also a seasonal employee and this is key to the conversations that she had with me during the time she was supposedly looking for Caylee. SB Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA
And I'll get into that in a moment. Urn, so I think a clue there is a seasonal. And I know you guys don't look on clues or whatever. You're not suppose to be putting a jigsaw puzzle piece together. But sometimes that's what we have to do hen we're trying to figure stuff out. But the seasonal employee, the roommate of Zanny is a seasonal employee. Or and Zanny herself worked at Universal at some time. So, and actually Amy did tell me she does work at Universal Studios. `Cause Amy and I had about an hour conversation. Zanny's the actual urn, first person that I was able to reach out with to. After we picked up the car from the tow place and realized that Casey and Caylee weren't in Jacksonville. I saw.. in the front seat of the car and the police have,., have the bag and everything. And they know that I kept one of the um, there was several rsum's for Amy in..
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ....Casey's bag. And that's how I got Amy's phone number. Which is also a Fort Lauderdale number by the way. And Casey made reference to that and Lee's con... phone conversation that Zanny had had a Fort Lauderdale phone number. Just FYI. Also that she had... well I'm getting ahead of myself. I don't want to do that. Anyway there was a bag in the front seat of the car that I recognized. Casey's car when we picked it up from the tow place. And it was her bag that she took to work. There's a lanyard missing that I told the Sheriff's Department that's missing. Urn, it was there urn, when we picked up the car. It was there with all of Casey's effects the night the Sheriff's came. It was missing the next morning when we were trying to find it to give to the detectives. And I said there was a lot of police in and out of our home. I don't know if someone picked up or not. It's very distinct and Casey wore it all the time. It was Shamrocks green and white. It was green Shamrocks with white beads and then it had her original
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Universal I.D. on it. Which you know she had since urn, she graduated from high school. Anyway um, that's missing and I don't know where it's at it was there. And it was with this bag and in the bag there was a few other items. I can't remember a belt and couple other things. The police have all that we took inventory. That was the only thing that was missing. Casey never had an opportunity to go into that garage. Because as soon as I brought her home I followed her into the house. My son stayed with her while I was dialing the police. And the police kept her ever since. She was never out of their sight so she never had an opportunity to go into the garage. And it was over we have an ice chest over by urn, our washer and dryer in our garage... SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ....'cause we don't have a laundry room it's in our garage. And I had it over there because I had the bag and Caylee's baby doll that was in the backseat in the urn, in the car seat. SB CA Car seat. that I had taken out trying to air out from the stench that was in the car. And I had already told the deputies everything that was in the car is sitting right here. So, if you guys want to look through it or whatever. But anyway I had pulled out of her bag this resume' that I found for Amy. And Amy's name came to us.. I had heard Casey talk about Amy probably about two months prior to all this. Maybe April and May Amy's name had come up in conversation that she was a friend of hers. She was trying to help her get a job and do some things and she had some resumes and she was gonna try to turn them out. So, urn, a red flag came
to
10 11
12 13 14
15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
us about hm, somewhere about the first, second and third week of June. It
had to be.. no it wasn't the first week I can tell you that. Because Casey wasn't
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
home or we had... it was during the time that Casey wasn't at the house. So, it had to be after the 14 th . Somewhere around that week or the next week we got a notice of address change from the post office. You know when they send you the request to change the address. Well it came to Amy... Amy Huizenga with our address on it. And I asked Casey when I had talked to her on one of the times I asked, I said, why is Amy sending a change of address to our house? She's not moving in. She says, no mom.. that Amy wanted to send a package to the house for her roommate instead of it going to her home. You know in Oviedo she wanted it to come to the house. I said, well that doesn't make sense Casey 'cause you don't need to do a change of address you just tell whoever, where ever you it to be shipped you just ship it to that address and just alert someone that lives at that address. You don't go through the address change. So, anyway.. excuse me. SB CA Well I'm sorry. Sorry. When urn, I happened to find this I called.. I called Amy that night I called her. And I said, Amy unbeknownst to me that Amy had just seen Casey a few hours earlier I told her who I was. I said, this is Mrs. Anthony I said Casey's mom. I said, have you seen... And she was the first person I reached out to when.. after we found the car and I knew. You know besides leaving Casey a message, where in the heck are you? Um, I urn... she answered the phone, she was at the Florida Mall. And she... I said, have you seen Casey in the last few days or so? Just playing off like there's nothing wrong. And she says well Mrs. Anthony she just picked me up from the airport a few hours ago. She says, I just got back from Puerto Rico. And I says really, I said, and how did she pick you
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
up? She said, that she had lent her, her car for the last week because Casey's car was in the shop. SB CA So, Casey was driving Amy's car? Casey was.. had been driving Amy's car. And I said, well do you have your car now? She goes no I'm at the mall with a friend. I said, well where is your car does Casey still have it? She says, no um, I dropped Casey back off at Tony's. I believe that's where she was at. And she says, my car is at my apartment and um, she says I'm with a friend at the mall. And I said, well how long do you think it'll be able to get back to the apartment? I'd like to meet up with you and talk to you. And she says, well I don't know might be here for a little while. So, I let Amy in I said, Amy I said, I don't know where Casey is and I'm not sure if Caylee's with her or not. I'm a little bit concerned I said, do you think I could come and pick you up? I said, because I'm not that far. I mean we live close to the airport. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And it would be maybe twenty minutes to half hour. She says, well let me call back. Let me, let me make a call and I'll call you back. So, about five minutes went by and then she called me back and said, sure I'll meet you at the urn, food court. So, she says, I told her I'd call her as soon as I got off the urn, 528.... SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) .... and got real close. So, that she could come out 'cause it was starting to storm that night and I told her. So, I actually called her when I got into the parking lot of the mall. And 'cause I had never seen her I didn't know what she looked like. I had no idea that this was the picture of the girl that Casey had helped you know. That I had actually seen before and didn't know. This is Amy.

SB CA
Okay. And that's with Caylee and this is Ricardo with Casey. So, anyway urn, you know Amy got in the car we started talking and I said, do you think you could take me to where Casey's at? She said yeah she said this is the guy that she just met. And I think she staying with Tony. Um, my understanding Tony, she was just helping him promote his um, his band and whatever he does. And urn, they just started to kind of connect. And I did not know him as being boyfriend or anything like that. Ricardo actually thought that they were still boyfriend and girlfriend. I think at this point Casey was using Tony as a place to hangout because she started staying with Tony, when Caylee turned up missing.
11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Because she couldn't come home without Caylee. She couldn't go to anyone of he friends that knew her with Caylee. And this Tony just you know met her and really didn't know that much of Caylee. I mean knew that she had a daughter, but wouldn't.. it wouldn't be a red flag 'cause he didn't knew Casey as.. how she was as a mom. If she went to any other one of her friends and stayed for a couple of days. SB CA Right. It would've been a red flag. They would've either called me or called her brother and said, what's up with Casey? And where's.. where's Caylee, why isn't she going home? I mean I think she deliberately was staying with Tony if she... And it makes sense if she's out looking like she says she is trying to backtrack. Trying to find this person and trying to find who has Caylee. That it would not be you know what I'm saying? It just kind of made sense. I'm still not a hundred percent this theory's right. But I'm just saying I want someone to follow this up because it's very compelling everything I'm putting together.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB
(No verbal response).
CA Amy was very.. she took me there and immediately stepped away. I wanted to be taken back home. And at that point I (Inaudible)... not too. Casey was kind of surprised when Amy went to the door. I kind of stayed around the corner when Amy went to the door at Tony's apartment. And as soon as she opened the door she went back down the steps 'cause we walked up a flight of steps. And Casey came out and she was surprised to see me. And I knew right away Caylee wasn't in the apartment. And you know if., if I truly thought that Caylee was in danger at that point. I probably would've went in the apartment anyway said, where the hells Caylee. But I didn't do that because I knew right away as soon as I opened the door. Caylee wasn't in there because it was full of smoke. SB CA SB CA SB CA SB CA Can I ask you a question? Full of smoke. Why did you stay around the corner? Because... What prompted you... ...Amy... ... to.. Amy felt like that if she knew I was there that Casey wouldn't open the door at first. SB CA Did she tell you why? No Amy didn't tell me why and I never asked her. 'Cause at that point I really wasn't sure what was going on. I mean I rally didn't know what was going on. SB Right.

So, I.. hindsight now if I'd had fifty million more questions and I would've done something totally different. I would've gone in there third degree...
SB CA
I understand. ....Tony. Would've looked through his entire apartment see if there's any Caylee um, things or anything like that. But again at that point I still didn't know what was going on. And Casey's remark was, that she was hanging out with Tony. They were working on some stuff. She had dropped Caylee off at the baby sitters. She had maintained that Caylee was at the sitters at that point. She had stated that to me with Amy being gone. 'Cause as soon as Amy opened .. Casey opened the door, Amy went back down to the end of the stairs. And she was back down to where my car was. She did not want to hear anything. She did not want to be anything. And I had no reason to believe at that point that Amy may even have any involvement in anything. Okay so that was not a red flag at that point. Um, so Casey agreed to go with me. I said we need talk. You need to do some explaining. I said, we have the car. We have.. we found the Pontiac it's not where obviously you're not in Jacksonville and neither is the car. So, I said you need to tell me where Caylee's at. And she says, mom I'll.. I'll talk to you but let's get Amy home. So, we drove Amy home, which is over to the Glenwood area. Didn't even think about that when I gave him that, that address. I just.. they were just telling me where, where to go off of Bumby. I didn't even realize that was the area. I mean I don't know.. I mean I don't go down to that area. I don't know what the street names were. And I was just following turn here, turn here, turn here 'cause I'm trying to talk to the girls. We're just chit-chatting about other things and we're trying to get Casey to tell me some stuff. But her and Amy were just kind of you know not talking a whole lot.

What was, where were they sitting in the car?
CA Casey was in the front seat, Amy was in the backseat. So, Amy was behind me

because the car seat in my.. we all have a car seat. SB CA SB CA Car seat, yeah. Caylee's car seat's on the... Behind the passenger seat. ....passenger side behind the passenger side, which I feel is the safest place to be. SB Right.
CA So, that's where it was so Amy actually went behind me and Casey was right next to me. SB CA Okay were they taking the whole time? Urn, not really. Didn't say a lot you know and truthfully I can't remember their conversations because it didn't stand out to me. And it really wasn't anything that I was concentrating on. So right now I can't remember specifics. I can't even remember exactly what I said to Casey during that ride home. SB When you dropped Amy off did you drop her off at her apartment or in front of the apartment complex? CA I dropped her off in front of the apartment complex, which was off of Bumby. And I believe that's the location, one of the locations where Casey had taken the detectives. SB CA Okay. That.. okay. Urn, again I'm not sure specifically which apartment Zanny... I mean Zanny, Amy and Ricardo are living in. But I do want so share a conversation I had with Amy on the way to pick up Casey, which is very ..
-1553
SB Okay.
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

... pertinent. 'Cause I asked her myself. I said, Amy, I said there was a change of address sent to our house you know with your name on it. Can you tell me why that is? While we're driving to pick up Casey. And she says, well Mrs. Anthony, she said Casey and I we're gonna move into your house. She said.. I said, excuse me? She goes, yeah she says urn, we were gonna be roommates. You and your husband, she said I heard you guys were having issues and you were going to urn, we were gonna move in together and be roommates. And urn, you were gonna urn, you know get an apartment or something close to where you work in Winter Park. And I said, Amy, I said that's not true. However that would explain why she had sent that? It was sent that... right. And I... So, she believed it to be true? Well, that's what she said. Yes that's what she says. Right. She believed it to be true. And she says, I'm homeless. And I said, what do you mean you're homeless? I said I thought you were living... I said, I thought you had an apartment. She says, well I'm living with Ricardo he's my roommate. Urn, didn't really think much of it at that point you know her saying that. I mean I heard Ricardo is one of Casey's friends. You know realized that they had been seeing each other a little bit. And did not know that Ricardo's apartment was actually what Casey was referring to as the baby sitter, Zanny's apartment.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB
Why.. why you're.. why you think at this point that Ricardo's apartment is Zanny's apartment?
CA
Because Casey stated that that picture of Caylee was in the apartment of Zanny, which I'm thinking Zanny could be a generic name for the baby sitter. Someone that was watching Caylee for the day.
SB CA SB
What.. what is, what is Amy's last name? Here you can have this. Um, Hun.. I think it's Hun.... Huizenga. ....Huizenga. Zenga. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Zanny. Um, how long has she and Amy known each other. As far as you know. I don't know. Amy... like I said Amy's actual name started coming up maybe April, May...

SB CA
Okay. ... in conversation. And nothing you know before that it was not a whole.. it was.. it was just a somebody she talked about. Again it wasn't a red flag for me to think or take notes.
SB CA SB
Right. So... (sigh) Did you ask Casey if she told Amy that you guys were having problems and that she could move into the house?
CA SB
No I really didn't. Okay.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA
Because at that point I didn't see the relevance of it. When I was... when I found out that Caylee was missing. My whole focus was on why and where, why didn't we talk about it and blah.. blah.. blah., blah. And then when Caylee and I... Casey and I actually had a few hours in the morning our focus was on getting the word out so we created the My Space and started making phone calls. To her friends that were in college to start putting word out that Caylee was missing.
SB Okay. CA So, I mean I.. we should've told (Inaudible)... because I figured he Sheriff's had on night long. She was exhausted. I wanted to find out.. I don't know how to work on the computer on My Space things like that. SB CA Right. And to get the information out. And I told her I said, why don't we create a My Space page for Caylee so that it can network throughout all of My Space. You can touch people all over the place. Because the Sheriff's Department had told me in the wee hours of the early morning of Wednesday, the 16 th , that they were gonna make a missing person's report first thing. We actually were looking all day on the news waiting for that report. They said they were gonna notify the FBI. They said they were gonna do this, this and this and it never happened. We didn't... the first time we heard that Caylee was a missing person. Was when we saw Casey's picture they didn't even tell us that they had taken her into custody. We knew she had gone down there for questioning. Until we saw the news that Casey was you know, what.. look like with everybody else. It was shocking the first time they had shown Caylee's picture as a missing person. SB Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
1 CA
2 3 4
That was another kind of a red flag I might want to say with the Sheriff's because they had promised us that they would report a missing child. Because she was missing regardless whether or not Casey was telling the truth or not Caylee was not a person that we knew were she was at. So...
SB
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Right. And I still believe that she should've been reported as a missing child. And again that's hindsight it's behind us and whatever it's too late to go back and change things. But that's.. that's been a concern of mine from day one. Precious hours, precious hours. And again if I know now what I knew then, I would've gone right to Amy and asked her specific questions or had the police ask her specific questions.
CA
SB CA SB
Keep.. I want you to keep something in mind. I am. Looking at it from the outside. The precious hours that you're referring to or precious hours from the time you found out she was missing.
CA SB CA SB CA
I know and that... The detective are looking at from when... From the... I.. ....the child was missing. ....I understand that. I understand that.
SB Okay. CA And I know back to we've lost a whole month and that's why I think the months conversation that Casey's had with me. Is gonna shed some.. is actually gonna help bring us closer. And that's what you know she made a comment to me and
1SS*7
I wasn't really sure what she meant. Like I said I thought she was talking about
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
the went to Tampa and they went to .. SB CA Jacksonville. .....Jacksonville. That, that was the key, it's not the key it's things that they were doing and I'm more sure of it now then ever. Um, she refers to um, the week of the 14th I'm gonna tell you where Casey said that they were at. The 14 th Casey said they were crashing at Zanny's apartment that night the 14 th . That's why they didn't come home they were crashing at Zanny's. I have not yet to find out from Ricardo or Amy if Caylee and those guys were at that apartment. I'm still not sure certain, exactly what day Tony took her in. I'm not sure. Um, but she said Caylee was at Zanny's apartment and I think that's the key. Okay. Maybe not Casey and her, that Caylee was at Zanny's apartment. SB CA Amy told you this? No Casey... I'm.. I'm trying to focus on now what Casey had told me in our conversations over the last month where they were at. 'Cause she wanted me to focus. And then I'll make the references to where I think this needs to go as far as what said. When she was talking to me in a conversation. She was telling me that Caylee was with... SB CA Zanny. ....different people. Zanny and her roommate through this whole... and that when the roommate came into it I'm thinking, oh my God are we talking about Ricardo? Are we talking about Amy? But I think it's the pair of them there's something between this all of this makes sense. (sigh) I don't want you to think I'm nuts. SB I don't think you're nuts.

I have a lot going through my mind and I wish I had more time to process it. I'm trying to process is as I, as it makes sense to me. Casey told me the 14 th that she had a lot of work to do. That it was urn, better for Caylee to urn, and her to stay at Zanny's. So, whether or not Casey was at Zanny's she was telling me in that conversation that Caylee was at Zanny's or the baby sitter's that night on the 14th . She also told me that the next night...
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB CA SB
You took that to mean Ricardo's? Well, now I am not at that point. I was thinking a Zaneida Fernandez Gonzalez. Okay. But now I'm not sure if Zaneida Fernandez Gonzalez is Zanny. You know what I'm saying?

11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

Right. In the real sense of that actual name. I think Zanny is the reference to the baby sitter. Okay. Urn, she told me on Wednesday, which would've been the 15 th , of my... no Wednesday would've been the 16 th . I don't have a calendar in front of me. But they went to two nights that the crashed at Zanny's since Zanny was watching Caylee. Then on Wednesday they had, they were staying at Hard Rock. And I'm not sure what the Hard Rack... Rock Hotel has to do with anything. I'm not.. I haven't figured that out yet. But I'm not sure if that's... she's telling me urn, the rock bank thing or whatever I'm not sure if that's part of it or not. But there was a reference to Hard Rock Hotel. From...
SB CA sg CA
On the 16th . Yeah, which was... And she said it was she and Caylee? Yes. And she also said the baby sitters.
1 SB
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
All of 'em were together? All of 'em were together. Urn... Did you ever ask her how she was paying the baby sitter? She told me a lot of times that, in fact you know I still was under the impression Casey was working and has her... had her own money. Casey didn't have to pay rent, didn't have to do whatever you know. Urn, car was paid for and that kind of thing.
CA SB CA
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) We.. the car insurance was rolled in with ours. So, that was not ever an issue with money. So, I never really asked those things. I mean I really didn't I thought she was saving money and doing things like that. You know once in awhile she asked me if I.. if she could have some money here and there. Um, and there was some times that you know she had taken some money, which I confronted her on. But usually if Casey.. if I caught her in a lie, I can look her in the eye and I can tell she was lying.

CA You know when I have a chance to look my daughter in the eye and actually talk to her, I usually can get a straight answer. And that's urn, she's not a very.. SB CA Looking back now knowing that she didn't have any money. Well, again I can't speculate. She a lot of times said Zanny didn't need money that her father urn, had been giving her money. He father bought her a new car. And we're gonna get to this car thing to it's a very important thing. That she was doing it because she loved Caylee and she loved to baby sit Caylee. And urn, I don't know. I... SB Okay.

... again I can't speculate. But anyway when they went to Hard Rock from Zanny's apartment it was urn, Casey and the person Juliet Lewis, who was a coworker of Casey's. Juliet Lewis has a child name Annabel, whose suppose to be a year older then Caylee. Zanny and her roommate were suppose to be watching the two girls.
SM CA
I'm not... let me interrupt real quick. Do.. do you... have you ever met Juliet? Huh-ah. (Negative)
SM Okay because when she says she's a co-worker... CA (Cough) SM CA SM CA SM CA ... we know that's not true. But we want... Although... ...to figure out where, where... That is true though. ...where they are coming from. That is true Juliet... one of Casey's friends urn, that used to work with her, Heather came to Lee. Urn, a week or so ago and um, said that there's a person um, that used to work at Universal. Not Universal, again Casey didn't work for Universal. SB CA Right. She sub-contracted through, that was an IT person just like this Jeffrey Hopkins that had a son okay. Urn, that was introduced them two and they.. she knew the name Juliet Lewis and she knew the name urn, Jeff okay. So, there is some truth to that part. SB Okay.

CA
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Urn, anyway Zanny and her roommate were help.. were at the, at the Hard Rock. Well Casey and this Juliet were... This is what Casey's story was.
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And obviously I know it's a lie because Casey wasn't there. You know because she was looking for Caylee or whatever she was doing, she wasn't there. Um, maybe.. maybe we could look at Hard Rock urn, register in the Hotel and see if there's anybody... Amy's been registered there. Ricardo, my daughter or whoever. Urn, I have not spoken with the Orange County Sheriff's so I know no one's looked at Hard Rock yet. `Cause I didn't...
SB
Okay. ...two and two together. But anyway Casey and Juliet were supposed to be in meetings all day and Zanny and the urn, her roommate. And I was under the assumption that the name was Jennifer, but the person that had a tie with urn, Universal was able to get the kids into Universal and take them to you know different things. And they were...
11 CA
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB A
Right. ... hanging out in the parks during the day. And Casey and Juliet were checking on the girls periodically. They moved the conference from there to Tampa,
Busch Gardens. Casey said that they were working on urn, some um, of the event planning between Universal tie and with Universal things and Busch Garden things and Sea World things. So, they went over that weekend, which was what the 18 th 19th and 20th . The 18th I think was a Friday if I'm... if I can remember correctly. The 16 th was a Wednesday then the 18 th would've been a Friday. Went over to Busch Gardens. I'm not sure what that has to do with Busch Gardens per say. But on their way home from Busch Gardens Casey said
ista
that she and Juliet with the two girls in the white Pontiac, Casey's car, was
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
following Zanny and her roommate. And they got into an accident in Zanny's car got totaled. Well, I know... SB CA SB CA Who had Caylee at that point? Casey and Caylee and Juliet Annabel.. Were in her car. ....were in Casey's car. And they did not get in an accident. But Casey said that Zanny had got into an accident and totaled the car. Now I'm not sure if the clue was, the car was totaled and someone got a new car. Talking to Amy from the airport, Amy told me and again I wasn't thinking about Zanny any connection with Amy told me she just gotten a new car. That urn, her dad had bought her a new car. She had to go up to Jacksonville to get... SB CA SB CA Amy had just got a new car? Yes and she... Okay. ....had to go to Jacksonville. Casey was suppose to take her to Jacksonville to pick up the car. And Casey bailed on her one day and wouldn't take her. So, she had to call someone else I.. and to take her. And I think she actually had to rent a car to get herself to Jacksonville to pick up her new car that her father had bought her. This is key because Casey had told me that when Zanny had totaled her car in the accident that her father had bought her a new car. And she told us that it was Ford Focus a 2008, silver Ford Focus. I don't know what Amy drives I have no idea. I never say Amy's car. But I think it's very pertinent if Casey is indeed giving the clues to what's going on. And she's trying to lead us to these people so that we can find and realize who it is so that we can watch 'em and

2 3 4 5 6 7
maybe catch 'em or we're gonna catch 'em off guard and get Casey home... Caylee home safely to us. It's all kind of makes sense. You see where I'm going with this? Casey said that Zanny's car had totaled and that her father had bought her a car. Amy in her own words told me that her car had been totaled. The dates I don't know if they match up and it could've just been something that Casey was throwing out there. It could've happened a month ago, but Casey was telling me... SB CA SB CA It happened on the ... ....Zanny's... ....way back from Tampa? Zanny's car had been totaled mom and her father.. a few days later she said her dad had you know was buying her a new car. 'Cause her dad had money and said that you know he would take care of it and he'd get her a new car. So, I think that's kind of something. And I didn't even put that connection together like I said until last night, with the car accident and the new car thing and who gave it. Amy said her dad got her a new car. The other connection was that Amy herself told me that Casey was taking.. suppose to take her to Jacksonville and pick up the car. That's the Jacksonville connection. I mean it makes sense, I didn't

I.., I
know I'm reaching out and wanting any leads that can get us to her. But it
just the more I talk about this the more it just makes sense. SB You.. you're putting together a story for us, which is good based on what you've been told by Casey. CA It may be a whole crap of...

New car. New car. Again don't know the make of Jen... of hers. And Casey may have picked any random car. I'm not sure if that's the clue or not. That the 2008 silver, Ford Focus is actually what she's driving or someone else is driving. I don't know if the actual car or the fact that it was the car accident. And her father was the one, is actually the clue that Casey's trying to give to us. Okay.

(cough) I'm sorry. Alright, urn, Amy again does say that she works at Universal Studios so that is truth about if she is Zanny that there's that Universal connection. Um, the other thing is, Casey describes Zanny's roommate. And I don't know if she's just giving me clues out there about Zanny or her roommate. As a tall, blonde person. Amy's tall.

coming in for the rescue or the search and find Caylee. You know handing out fliers doing whatever. I find it very strange that these two haven't volunteered for anything and all of Casey's other friends have volunteered to at least send out fliers, do different things.

I told her I'm sorry for any inconvenience or anything to pull her in. I mean she was obviously the one that took me there so I knew the police was questioning her. I knew that you know.. SB CA SB CA SB CA Okay I see what you... ... all that. So, that's what I was apology .. apologizing to. For.. for involving her... involving her into... ....the whole situation. ..... the whole in this situation. At that time I mean I truly didn't want to involve anybody into it. And I truly didn't know what involvement I was going to have

with anybody. All I knew was I wanted to locate Casey so I can you know make sure her and Caylee were.. SB CA They were alright. ....safe. That's the one that's gonna go off all day I don't care. Um, Amy said that Casey had told her. And I don't know if Amy told her.. knew that Casey's car was in the shop. Well obviously the week that Casey told me the car was in the shop was actually when the car, she didn't know where the car was. Casey told me that while she was in Jacksonville, which she never was in Jacksonville I know that now. That her friend she was staying with had taken her car to get it fixed. Because my husband and I were kind of worried because we knew her oil needed to be changed and we knew her brakes needed to be looked at. Because it'd been a while and you know you need.. we knew how old the car was and we said it's time to have all of that checked. SB CA Right. You need a full inspection blah.. blah.. blah. And we told her I said, we really don't want you driving all over God's creation. Tampa was bad enough we don't want you driving you know all over the place. You know until you get the car checked out. Well, Casey had told me that following week that she'd been in Jacksonville for the whole week staying with friends. Which I again know that that's not true. But I think the Jacksonville connection could be the fact that... SB Somebody had made mention to her that she had to go to Jacksonville and she was just using that as an excuse? CA SB Could be using it as an excuse. Okay.

But the other part of it is, the weekend that we found out now that the car was at AMSCOT, was the weekend that she said she didn't even know where the car had been taken. And she told me she goes, I'm not sure... and she was referring that she was with Jeff in Jacksonville. Jeff was a friend that had actually introduced her to Zanny. I'm not sure if Ricardo introduced Amy to Casey or not. It'd be interesting to find out who introduced. Because he could be... Jeff you know as far as reference to. Because she's stating that the person that
interviews.. introduced her to um, her baby sitter, Zanny was this Jeff person. But she could be referring... Jeff could be a reference to the current boyfriend. And I'm gonna tell you why I say that. Jut like Zanny could be in reference to the baby sitter. A couple years ago she did um, actually she was speaking to Jeff all the time. I heard her talking to this Jeff person all the time with Zachary. I saw her phone at one time she had, she has a phone that has a photo on it. Or you can have your photo just like I have Caylee's picture on my phone. SB CA Right. She showed me Jeff and Zach's picture. Just like she described him prior to and she had his number in her phone. This was two years ago listed as boyfriend. So, Jeff could be a generic name for boyfriend is what I'm thinking right now as a clue. Okay so... SB Jeff in Jacksonville introduced her to....

Yes. I'll put quotes around Jeff. Yeah. We don't know who he is. Right, exactly. Okay. I mean his name's suppose to be Jeffrey Hopkins, but I know it's confusing to you. But...
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB
That's alright. ...anyway Jeff had taken um, her car so what she said that he had taken her car to one of his guys to get it looked at, get it fixed, get the brakes done.

SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Well, that was the same day that Casey said she didn't know where her car was. She said she came back. She was with um, um, Jeff's mom and Caylee for the day. They were um, you know shopping and, and um, Jeff's sister. And when she came back Jeff had already taken Casey's care to get it fixed. And she said they were gonna check on it the next day. Well, this was Saturday and then Sunday she said that the car needed something you know done to it and it was gonna take a couple days to get it fixed. And...
SB CA SB CA
What time frame are we in as far... We're talking... .... as dates? ... um, the 27th , 28th of June. And that's about when the car was.. Casey didn't know where the car was. So, that was her clue that I think what she was saying she didn't know where the car was at. And then it was going to be a few days.. I
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
think she was probably trying to look for the car. It doesn't make sense to me why Casey would drive knowingly and run out of gas. Run out of gas and leave her car at that AMSCOT, which is a very visible location. I don't know if you're familiar ... SB CA SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ...with.. It's a, it's big intersection Goldenrod and Colonial. Okay. I actually pass that every morning going to work. Where it's at there's a continuous right hand turning lane where you have to kind of merge with traffic. And then there's a traffic light and then there's one that turns left. I'm always in this one. Waiting at the light, I never get to go through it. And as I'm approaching you have to be real careful because all of a sudden the lane the merge, they merge in or proceed out. 'Cause people turn out of the urn, Wendy's there and the Sam's Club there. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) So, I'm always looking at that intersection and AMSCOT'S been known to have urn, police there for a radar in the mornings or whatever. I'm not looking
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
because I'm worried about that. But I'm just you know more looking, but I've seen people in that AMSCOT. So, I would've seen that white car there come Monday morning going to work. If it would've still been there and not been towed. So, it's kind of stupid for her to leave it in a spot where I would see that car if she's the one that drove it there. The other thing is, why would you run out of gas and not have someone just buy you a gallon of gas or two of gas until you can get to a gas station and fill up. It doesn't make sense. So, I'm not sure why she would abandon the car. Especially if the car had all this evidence that's

gonna link her to Caylee's death in it. She's not stupid by any means. She's a smart girl. She's not smart enough to plot... SB CA SB I can tell you a little bit of what about how they think. I under... I know how they think. They've told me how they think. Well, I know I'm just trying to give you a little bit of perspective by.. by bringing somebody around to put gas in it. You're bringing, you're inviting people into something. So, the choices are, leave it come back later or bring people to it.. CA SB CA Well, if she had... And that's if, that's it that's what had happened and I'm... Exactly. ... not saying that's what had happened. Exactly. I'm just saying that's... But she had access to a car in Amy's own words. Whether that's true or no I'm not sure I never collaborated... collaborate... SB Corroborated. Corroborated, I'm sorry. That's alright. That urn, with anybody. But that's what Amy said. So, if she had access to a car she wouldn't had to involve anybody. And from my understanding she also had access to Tony's jeep. So, she didn't have to involve anybody she could've gone bought a gas can, got some gas and taken it to that car and... SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) .. you know... And driven off.

Leave it for three days, not come back to it before it got towed and then she really didn't know where it was at. Because ... SB CA And what has she told you about how the car ended up there? I never talked to her about it. Never had an opportunity. Because again by the time I picked her up my focus was where's Caylee. I didn't care about the car. SB CA Right. Yeah absolutely. The car was not even an issue. And so I never had, I never had had a one on one about the car why it was there and blah.. blah.. blah. I don't know and I'm not gonna speculate on that. But it just doesn't make sense to me that that car had evidence to bring her to where she is now. Why would she leave it there in broad daylight for her mom or dad to see it. Or for it not to go back if you knew where it was. So, and they even said that it sat there for three days before it was towed. So, she had ample opportunity to reach out to somebody. And the other thing was when they towed it. No one's ever opened up the trunk of that car. The tow company didn't have the keys to the car. When we got on sight the guy says, listen before you come to the car.. my... they warned my husband, it stinks. And it's been progressively smelling worse. He said you know it's been progressively smelling worse since it's been here. Urn, he said it didn't smell great when they picked it up. But it certainly was, you didn't even., and George said, you didn't even have to get too close to it. Well, the guy from the tow company was there with my husband because you can't just get into the car and drive away. sg Right.

So, when they opened the trunk of the car there was um, a collapsible bin, I think a couple of hangers, a pair of Casey's.. I think a pair of her pants back there in the bin. And then this bag that my husband saw, which I never saw. And in the bag he said there was like one or two pieces of pizza and a ripped up box, stuffing in just a little bag, plastic bag. And that thing was just full of maggots and you know it was terrible so they walked it right to the dumpster. Didn't even think anything about it.
SB CA
George and the employee of the tow... Yes. So, okay. Yes. So... Does he recall what that employees name was that helped him check out? I don't know but... (Inaudible)... .... We.. he took the police officers back and they retrieved the bag out of the dumpster. He took 'em right back the very next day and they retrieved the bag, they have the bag and everything there. So, the police have the bag.

Um, at that time he just knew it was garbage and he threw it.. didn't even think anything of it. Just and he even got back in the car and said, that car smells like you know something had died in it. And you know he's been a homicide detective.
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) He's smelled dead bodies. I've smelled dead bodies being a nurse. I've been to the morgue before I've smelled dead tissue it smells bad. Sutomotis is one of he worse smells if you've ever know... if you know what a sutomotis infection is. We took off a dressing one time a patient's room and we had this huge clinic. It went from the vent system from that patient's room clear over two floors later to the other vents, that's how strong that smell of you know stuff..
SB CA
Right. ....can follow. And that was the infection it wasn't you know urn, it's just a, a sense of the sutomotis.
SB CA
Right. It's just a unique smell. Urn, I've never smelled pizza nineteen days, and I don't know of anybody that says they've smelled pizza nineteen days in a car that sat out in a hot... Yes garbage is different then that, but someone needs to... I've been saying just do it. Put it in pick a car off of some you know abandoned lot or the wrecker center and put it in the Florida hot sun, which we've had what 90 to a 100 degree temperature. And that week that it was sitting out we had, we had a 100 degree temperature and multiply that close up it's probably two plus. For nineteen days...

and then see if it doesn't smell a bad as a dead body in that car. And they all think we're nuts. It's pizza, garbage. Well you know garbage is taken from one day to the next...
SB CA SB CA
What.. what was,,, ....a little bit different. ... your initial thought when you smelled it? Something was really rank in that car. Didn't know what it was. And you know I'll clarify my statements and I said that to the officers. I made up the 911 call, didn't know what the hell to say. Made up the second 911 call, didn't know what to say. And when Casey back and told me or actually had told Lee that Caylee had been kidnapped. They, the second 911 call said that the Sheriff would be there when they had a chance. Well, it had already been forty-five minutes from that first call to eh... I mean the second call to the third call. I just said whatever it was, get 'em out of here now because now I realize my granddaughter is missing and we actually have something to go on and not me just you know... Can't get from daughter where Caylee's at. Cause she had maintained that Caylee was the sitter. She maintained that Caylee was the sitter the entire time. And she also made a statement to me. She told me, mom.. and I didn't understand what she meant by this. She had told me that the hour was not right because it was about 7:30, 8 o'clock. And that's typically when Caylee's getting ready to go to bed. That why do we want to interrupt, I'll take her to you tomorrow. I don't think Casey had ever intentions of taking me tomorrow. But she made the comment after I kept pushing. And even Lee 'cause my son by the time I gotten Casey back home. When I realized that I wasn't gonna get any help sitting in the parking lot at the Annex at the or the Orlando Police Department.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I took her home and just as I was coming around to my house. My son had called me and said hey, dad said that um, there's something going on. All my husband had done was called him and said, you might want to touch base with mom. He wasn't making reference about the car. Didn't know about Caylee or anything else at that point. So, he was actually home because, where are you at and I said, well I'll be there in two minutes, less then two minutes I'll be home. So, when I got to the house Lee was there and never left Lee's sight. That's why I know she didn't go back out and take that lanyard and all that other stuff. But she stated something and I haven't had a chance to talk with Lee about all this stuff. She made a comment to Lee when he said, why are you gonna allow mom to get the police involved in this? If you can take mom and I to Caylee
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
tomorrow. Let's just do it tonight, why do we want to get eh police involved. And Casey said, and I'm not sure how she said it, but she said, I don't want to disrupt her life. Because from here on out Caylee's life will never be same. And I never understood what she meant by that. And I didn't ask her that 'cause I wasn't sure. I said, well you know.. SB CA SB CA She knew something at that point. She knew something. Well Casey... Right. ....did know something. And she had known something at that point. So, making that statement, and that was a half hour before she finally told Lee that. Because he kept talking to her and saying, listen, what are you gonna say when the police come? And she said, I can't do this anymore whatever. She said to Lee. You have to get those facts from Lee I wasn't in the room.

Okay, And she finally said that I haven't been able to tell mom where Caylee's at. Because I don't know where Caylee's at. And she started breaking down and that's when she broke down and she was crying. And I happened to have come in. 'Cause I was actually pacing out in the garage 'cause I opened up the garage door to kind of see. Because I just didn't know what to say to Casey anymore. And I was... the red flags were going up all over because I couldn't understand why she couldn't take me. 'Cause I told her I said, I don't care if I wake her up or not. I want to see her I haven't seen her in a month. And at that point I had that gut feeling something wasn't right. Didn't know what it was. Um, and when I walked into the house I could hear her telling him that Caylee had been kidnapped. I immediately ran to Casey's room and I said, what the hell do you mean? What are you talking about and I started yelling at her. And I said, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell the police and all that? And.. typical reaction like everybody else says, what are you doing? And at that time is when I realized that the police had been to the house. So, I went out there um, you know... No actually at that time I made third phone call. I made the third phone call and said...

Remind me which one the third one, because I.. I don't know... The first one was... ...what they were. ....driving up to.. I actually told her when we were driving around. Uh-huh.

where Caylee's at. She said, mom go ahead. She goes, go ahead I can't tell you know, I'm not taking you to see Caylee tonight I can't take you.. she said I can't take you to Caylee tonight. And I couldn't understand why. So, I the closest police department that I knew of is on Pershing Road. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Between Goldenrod and 436. That's the closest, I pass it all the time if I go to Wal-Mart or whatever. I never knew that the police department was open till 5. I thought they were open all day. I'm nave I've never had to go to the police department.
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB CA
Right. So, I drove in the parking lot and I saw they closed at 5 so I sat there. I said, Casey, I said come on tell me what's going on. And she says, mom I can't. And I said, well someone's gonna help me. So, I dialed the 911 call and they asked me you know what it was regarding. I didn't know what to tell 'em, my daughter won't take me to see my granddaughter, is that a crime? So, I said, well my car was stolen. Well, to me if my car wasn't where it was suppose to be. Then technically.. I didn't want to make a false report, but I wanted to talk to an officer and I didn't know what to say.
SB CA
Yeah. I didn't know what the facts were. So, it just whatever I could think of I said. And she says, well are you Orange County or are you Orlando Police? And that was like listen there's no point in going through all this you know. So, I told her I would just go back to my house and call 'ern. And that's what we did, but I didn't call right away. Lee was there, didn't realize Lee was gonna be there. We tried for forty-five minutes to get her to tell us and she was telling us that she couldn't
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9
take us or that would upset Caylee's life and blah.. blah.. blah. Did not realize what that meant. So, I made that, I finally said, that's enough I'm not dealing with this anymore. I told Lee, I'm calling because there's something wrong. There is something wrong. And so I called the second 911 call was the first one that they actually showed on TV. And I said, hey wait a minute there's a... there's actually three, the first one you're not showing. So, it was referenced as the first one, which is actually the second. SB CA Okay. So, the second one it... I was still not as frantic as the first.. the first one I was pretty calm. The second one I'm not as calm, but I'm not frantic like the third one. Because I'm still kind.. trying to figure out how do I get the sheriff's department out here? So, I told 'ern, you know my car's been stolen, possibly money whatever I didn't know, I wanted them to come out. While I was waiting it was like I said, almost forty minutes had gone by. Lee still in there talking to his sister and I'm staying out of it because I knew I was just making the situation worse. Because all I wanted.. I wanted to go in there and shake her. I wanted to go in there and physically shake her and say, tell me. But I'm not gonna do physical harm to my daughter. Because I didn't know if I could stop shaking her. You know what I'm saying? You get so angry with someone.. SB CA Yeah. ....that can't tell you what you want to know. That you could you know might want to do that. SB But you know that she could tell what you want to know, she's not telling you what you want to know.

So, as I came into this is the third phone call now. When I came back

into the house and I heard her telling Lee and she was starting to cry. I could tell in her voice I knew something was wrong. And that's when I ran into her room. And then I.. I said, I've got to call the police and they got to get here now. And that's when I called and I, and I said whatever I said. My.. my God you know we found her today, we found her after a month. And what I meant by that, Casey wasn't missing in my eyes, but she wasn't where she said she was for a month. So, my daughter wasn't missing, but now Caylee was missing for a month. By what Casey had said. And I said I found her car. I mean I was trying plead with them, there's a reason now why now is an urgent thing. The car had something to do with Caylee not being... SB CA Around. ...here. And that's why I said, and "the car smelled like a damn dead body" or whatever I said on there because it smell bad you know. Did I.... SB CA SB CA SB CA And that's your initial reaction? That's my initial ... And whether you know... ...reaction. ....not. Right and again that's was my husband's initial reaction as well. Before he opened the car door.. I mean the.. the trunk. SB CA SB CA The trunk. The trunk.. Right. The trunk, his initial reaction is, "I don't know if I'm gonna find Casey in there. I don't if I'm gonna find Caylee in there or what?" He didn't know or whatever, No

I s 0 '6

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

mean knowing now. I still believe that Caylee's body, and I.. I find it very hard to believe that Caylee.. Casey had an opportunity to put Caylee in there for a short period of time to get the car stench that bad and take her somewhere else. You know what I'm saying? SB CA Right. The time frame I just don't... I.. it.. it doesn't make sense to me common sense doesn't tell me that she would park that car there if there was evidence. If it was me I would run that car into a river or somewhere off a cliff somewhere or whatever or... SB Yeah. CA ... in another county. Or do something and not leave it in plain sight for my mom
to
find or evidence. I mean it just doesn't make sense. So, that's why common
sense tells me that Caylee's not, has not been in that car as a cadaver okay. She's been in that car lots of times. That car has gone through being my husband's car, my son's car, my daughter's car. We've all driven that car. And that car in the beginning had everybody's sweaty clothes in there from gym bags and stuff. 'Cause my son played basketball you know... SB CA Right. ... in high school. That was the car that was given to him when he was a junior and his senior year in high school. So, I mean that car's been through... I mean it's been in our family for some time. SB CA Right. So, and my husband and I know every inch of that car and every stain in there. And those stains that we saw when we brought the car home. We didn't see any

new stains. And of course we don't have lights and lumination and all that other stuff. But there was nothing that we saw in that car. And I told the police the only things I'd done is taken the stuff out of the back, put it in the garage just to let it air out. And I had sprayed from some fabreeze and I told 'em that up front. Just to see if it could get the smell of it out. And it did smell better as it aired out But it still had a bad stench really bad stench that everybody that came up that night into the home. No one was really particularly caring about the car. I mean it was white.. it was in our garage. I put it in the garage for a reason. Because we didn't want leave it outside. Plus I didn't want to leave it all closed up. So, I had the garage door down with all the doors open. And when we got home my garage for three days smelled like the car. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) So, it doesn't take much to absorb you know smells. And I mean all that smell is gone now, thank God. But for a couple of days it still smelled like that. And we asked the sheriff's that night if we could take it out of the garage and leave it out on the driveway and that's what they did. And they left it there for 48 or you know 24, 48 hours until they picked it up. Okay, we kind off a little bit of track. SB SM That's alright. That's alright. Excuse me I'll be right back. (Agent. Steve McElyea left room)
SB Yeah. CA But the point of that conversation was that, Casey was alluding to she didn't know where the car was. And it kind of makes sense if she knew where the car was. You wouldn't leave a car especially that was in good condition. That car runs. SB Yeah.
CA Great shape I mean.

I've seen it. Yeah it's a nice looking car.
SB Yeah. CA And um, has a lot of life in it. And we had just you know put some money into tires and stuff and there's no way that we were gonna you know get rid of the car. SB CA Right. And it doesn't make sense to me that she would... not want to go back and pick up the car. And eventually at some point. SB CA SB CA Keep in mind, there's a lot of things that could happen. I understand. That don't make sense. I know. I know it doesn't make sense. But again she's.. at some point she's gonna come home. At some point she's gonna have to come with or without the car. Or at some point she knew she was gonna have to come with or without Caylee. So, if she had an opportunity to pick up the car I would've thought that she would've have. Or done everything she could've... SB CA SB CA Right. ...to take good care of that car. But ... That's because that's you and I think. Yes. Well and again, if you're looking at.. if you're trying to look at something objectively. SB The one thing you can't do, I'll tell you this. Is you can't apply your logic to other people. CA Right.

Especially when things have happened. But again to, she's not on trial and people out there speculating already that Caylee is a dead child and this...

SB
Forensically there's stuff that, that can give us some answers. But that takes time.
CA SB CA SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And in the meantime we have to keep working. Right. We have to keep looking. Because if we stop looking until there's... those things come back and they find out that, oh well there's really nothing concrete here. We're losing weeks and weeks of looking for Caylee.

part. Here's the.. here's the part that doesn't get communicated by law enforcement to families. Okay, is we have to.. there is a systematic way when we're dealing with missing, missing toddlers. That.. that we have to go by and sometimes we don't communicate it well enough to the families. When we have a toddler missing, you have to look at motive, you have to look at all these different things that cause children to become missing. Is it a sexual predator, is it, is it a kidnapping, is it money. Okay we have to start looking at what, what could've caused this. What could've led to this. And the first thing that you can't do when you have a toddler is absolutely as investigators you cannot leave the family.

And I went through it with Mark Lundsford. Urn, he and I are friends now, we talk you know. But we are what we are. But the fact of the matter is that he didn't like me very much for the first two or three weeks of what was going on.
CA SB
I understand. Okay and, and when we can't get the answers that we need from the family. And I'm not talking about you because you have given 'em the answers that they need. You've.. you've gone out of your way to tell them everything you possibly know. And can come up with. The person that was with Caylee when she went missing. The last known person to have been with Caylee is Casey.
CA I know. SB And Casey has got to get over the fact that Caylee's safety maybe in danger. Caylee's safety is in danger by the fact that she's not telling us where Caylee is. CA I know. Wait.. some of the things that Casey had um, shared that will probably be public knowledge very soon. Because Lee urn, this is something that you need to get specifically from Lee because um, Lee told.. or Casey told Lee urn, what had happened. Casey said that she was at Blanchard Park with Zanny and urn, now I believe she said Zanny's sister. And I I'm not mistaken I'm not sure if her name's Stephanie or whatever. But I think Zanny's sister is blonde too so there's a blonde reference there. But Zanny when they were at the park urn, with Caylee um, and I guess her sister had some children and I don't know if this part is um, truthful or whatever. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) But she said, Zanny, when they were getting ready to leave Zanny's sister or the person with Zanny took Caylee. And Casey said where are you guys going?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
And Zanny pushed Casey to the ground and the description of Zanny is that she's at least five six, five seven. SB CA SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Casey's only.. barely five one an a half if you really put shoes on her. (laugh) Or she stretches out. And like you know maybe ninety-seven, a hundred pounds. SB CA Okay. And this person's at least one forty is what she's says. Then she said, this person pushed her to the ground and threatened her. And told her, "listen bitch," is what she said. SB CA SB CA Right. "I'm gonna teach you a lesson." Okay. "I'm gonna teach you a lesson. " "So, you're not getting Caylee back." And again I don't know all the particulars, Lee has all that conversation from Casey. SG CA SB When, when did that .. About.. ... conversation occur?
CA This was suppose to have happened on the 14 th , the day that Casey couldn't get.. So, she's maintaining that they.. they took her. Now Casey's original statement was that she had dropped her off with the baby sitter. This is what she wanted to be public or what she wanted the detectives to know is, that she dropped the.. her.. Caylee off at the baby sitter. And that she um, when she went
back to pick her up the sitter wasn't there. And that's when she started to.. to call. Now....

SB CA
Call? Call the baby sitter.
SB Oh okay. CA And make phone calls. Now Lee's been looking at Casey's phone records. Lee's been looking at the phone records, he's been plugging in everybody's phone number of everybody that we know. And we been trying to fill in all the gaps. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) They looked at Casey's phone records all up until this point too from I think from the end of May the first couple weeks of June. He said there was a.. big change in pattern. You guys will need to look at the phone records. Big change in pattern from the 14 th from about.. SB CA June 14th? June 14th , in the afternoon. And I'm not sure if it starts around 4 or something in the afternoon. But it's like frantically from phoning people. You know calling boom.. boom.. boom calling all these people. As if she was looking for something or trying to reach somebody that knew where someone was. That there was actually a change in Casey's pattern on the phone. SB CA SB Okay. That something frantic was going on. So, I think it's key... Does he have the records?
CA He has the records. SB (Inaudible)... Okay.

SB CA SB
CA The night, Tuesday and into Wednesday looking at her phone records from day one. So, he got a copy I think from the detectives. So, that's he copy to work on. SB Okay. 'Cause he's been working with the detectives very close okay. So, urn, I think that that's pretty important that both Ricardo and her.. This writing is your? That's mine, this is Casey's. That they said that she'd planned this. That she made the reservations off of our home computer. And um, I find it hard to believe that these guys don't have their own computer. They wouldn't have done it themselves so I'm not sure why Casey was planning it I'm not.. I haven't had an opportunity to ask her yet. SB CA Amy said that Casey planned it? Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And so did Ricardo. Ricardo was actually at our home urn, last weekend it was either Saturday.. either Friday night or Saturday the kids came over. Ever since this has happened Casey's friends have wanted to come over and talk because they find it very therapeutic to talk about Casey. And, and being close to our family. And they all... SB CA So, they have come over since this all happened? Amy hasn't Ricardo did. Ricardo was invited by Annie Casey's best friend. And it was kind of.. Ricardo was the only one that didn't participate in discussion he just kind of sat there. And I thought he was just upset because he realized..

found.. had just found out about Tony potentially being Casey's boyfriend. Which I had told him I didn't really think looking back that Tony was. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And now looking back I think Tony had... I mean Ricardo sat there for a reason. Either.. I mean he sat there he was sweating a lot. He sat there kind of like this, very uncomfortable, very uneasy. Everybody else was laid back you know drinking water, Coke whatever. You know we had plenty of food everybody's been bringing us stuff. We have so much food in our house you know the kids were getting pizza and... sg Right. ...whatever they wanted you know to eat. And he just sat there and I realize this the first time we met him. But even some of the other kids that had come for the first time felt very relaxed in our home. I'd just met a few other people that night `cause um, it's just something that they been reaching out to everybody. Plus we kind of wanted to see where we thought Casey might be to kind of get some clues. So, but he was the only one that didn't participate in anything. So, I thought it was kind of odd like I said that Amy or he has not reached out to at least um, want to help in he search for Caylee. Just find it kind of odd. You know I just ran a check on her right quick and.. Who, her? Um, Amy. Oh okay. And her mother and father and there's no ah, 2008 Ford registered to any of 'em. Okay. But Amy does have a new car.

Well weight can fluctuate anyway it doesn't matter. But your height shouldn't every change once you're grown so. Um, but again you know Ricardo did, did offer something that night though that um.

Caylee... Casey or Caylee these last couple of weeks. Because Ricardo took a separate flight from ... SB Amy. CA ...Amy. He told me he had flown to out of state to visit his mom. And I'm not sure if that's the correlation that I'm trying to pull it or not, that I'm not sure. And what I would like to know where he went. I'm not sure if he said Massachusetts or what and who was, who was with him on the flight. Because Casey kind of stated that you know this guy that she had been seeing, Jeff before that were friends. That I'm referring to could be the boyfriend... SB CA Right. .... at that time. That Caylee was with his mother. And maybe she knew that he had taken her out of state and maybe Caylee's in the state that there with and maybe that's where she's at. I'm hoping it's not Puerto Rico. SB Okay.
CA You know what I'm saying? SB CS We'll look into that. The other thing the babysitter had been teaching Caylee Spanish. Caylee had been urn, Casey speaks a lot of Spanglish, you know she took Spanish in high school and things like that. Urn, but the babysitter Casey said had been teaching Caylee urn, Caylee some Spanish. And Caylee actually I've heard her urn, count and every couple of days she would learn five more numbers. She was up to 32 in Spanish the last time I saw her. SG Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
"ISIS

The little girl's rally bright. She was teaching her other things urn, and I can't remember all the phrases because I don't speak Spanish and it's not sticking out of my mind that if Casey...

SB CA
Right. .... if Caylee would say something I would ask Casey what she was saying. But right now you know I.. it's kind of out the window on that. But I don't know if she... they were teaching her Spanish for a reason. And I'm not sure what the Puerto Rico if is has anything to do with it. But I.. it could. It's just kind of strange that they would take separate flights. This was booked in advance you'd think if you're flying out with friends and going and arriving the same day that you'd ride together. Or especially I would, I would want to ride with my friends if I was going the same time. So, you're more then welcome to have this or I'll take it..
SB CA SB CA
I can take this? Yeah. Okay. I mean like I said I haven't shared it with the Orange County Sheriffs Department `cause I didn't see any connection to it till I started thinking that these two may have some connection to it. Was telling 'em these are flights numbers of Amy's flight that Casey made. These are Casey's handwriting. This is my handwriting.
SB CA SB CA
And Casey picked her up too. Casey's picked her up too. So, on the 15th , Casey picked her up? And Amy states that she picked her up and again there's no Caylee. So, if Zanny is... I mean it might just show... and I don't know what their conversations were. I don't know and I, again I.. haven't had a chance to talk to Amy about all

this and I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do my own investigation or anything like that. SB Urn, I certainly don't want to get involved 'cause I don't want my emotions going wild. And if I had any inkling... just like my husband was suspicious of Jesse Grund, who's Casey's ex-fianc' he's probably one of my... biggest person that I still feel has a lot that could potentially be a part of this. But until this morning I'm thinking, oh my gosh do they have a role in this and could this be you know.. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) it.. it.. could be it. And um, I'm not gonna let any stone go unturned. But my husband said, well I'll just drive to Jesse's house and if I... I'll listen outside for Caylee. I said what would you do if you heard Caylee's voice? You're gonna break the door down? He goes, no I'd call 911. I said, no you wouldn't any father would break that door down and rush in there to try to get.. or grandfather would try to get it. So, don't tell me not, you're not going there and you're not doing that. We'll let the police you know, know 'cause I've been forthcoming with urn, Sergeant Allen on all my concerns with Jesse. I've given him
information. He's read cards and stuff that Jesse's written and Jesse has been infatuated with Caylee since Caylee's birth. And kind of overly you know ... SB CA yeah. ... overly connected. And overly tried to push way into Casey's life and I've got some many inconsistencies talking to Jesse, over the last couple weeks. That stuff hat he said just doesn't make sense. And if it was anybody close that she trusted he was probably my first thought from day one. And that someone she could fear. Actually I would be afraid of Jesse he's got a hot temper. He has connections. He could be someone that I would think would take...

When you say he has connections to what? He was, he had a Orange County Sheriffs urn... I mean Orange.. no Orlando Police connections. He was in training he actually was in training for to be an officer. It was just mutually let go urn, mutual understanding that he quit and he had.. he was told that he had to leave. And even urn, Sergeant Allen said that he was a hot head and stuff and you know. Casey also mentioned that Jesse was applying for his urn, I don't know what you call it. Urn, concealed weapons permit.

Permit. Florida? In Florida. She stated that the other day when we were talking about him. And it's a red flag to when we were asking... I asked not even thinking about urn, what order she was in. I said do you have anything you want me to tell any of your friends? The first person she, remember when I told you about just a few minutes ago the conversation that Steven wasn't privy to. Was that urn, I asked her is there anything, any message you want me to say to Caylee and then to Zanny and then to your friends? And the message naturally was to Zanny was to please bring Caylee back. Please you know this is a mistake and please you know just bring he back safe and sound. Instead of just.. you know you can. And to Caylee to be brave, be the brave little girl that I know you are and that mommy loves you with all her heart and will do anything to keep you safe. Urn, but I find it kind of odd now the first person that she thought of wasn't' Tony, wasn't me or anybody else or Annie her best friend was Amy. Tell Amy I'm sorry. Well if Amy is..

Okay. Video interview. I didn't... Today I didn't say anything about any of my theories when I went in there. 'Cause like I told you this hit me like a ton of bricks last night this morning at 4. I did not say anything, I'm not gonna put anybody's name out there. I'm not gonna jeopardize anybody's invest... even though I wanted to ask her, if Amy or um, Ricardo reference to Zanny? I mean I'm not gonna do that. As much as I wanted to I'm not gonna do that. If you guys want to sit down with her or the Orange County can or whoever. I know you can't..
SB CA
Nobody can. I know you can't. I haven't even told Jose this her attorney. I mean if someone could put this to her yes we... this is what we think. I mean 'cause she's hoping that we'll put it together. I mean she even today I know based on everything that I've told you and what I know Lee... I know you guys are gonna figure this out. And um, if that's true what I told you that this person put her down physically to the ground and threatened her life and threatened you know Caylee and I'm not sure.. and again you guys need to talk to Lee about that. Because he got that information. This stuff's gonna go out in public pretty darn soon. If this, if this person is still being referred to as Zanny she might think her cover's still good. But if she.. if I comes out that her name is Amy. They're gonna, they're gonna run. They're gonna hide that girl further and further. And that was what her attorney wanted to make clear yesterday. Some of these things should not be public knowledge just for the pure safety of Caylee. Because if someone felt pretty confident that no one's looking in their direction that's Casey's thrown 'em off. Like that she was instructed to. That they could even stay pretty locally. Or somewhere where they felt pretty safe. But if you get to the point where it's out

there who this person might be. And she's actually betrayed them. That we may never see Caylee again. And in what condition I don't know. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Or have they done physical harm. Urn, so I don't know.. there's just too many things.. you can kind of see where my train of thoughts going and why.. SB CA SB CA SB CA SB CA But has she.. ...these red flags.. ...has she... ...have come up. Has she physically told you personally told you somebody kidnapped her? Yes. It was, it was Zanny who did it. She's personally said that it was Zanny that has Caylee. That Zanny has Caylee. And that she does not know right now where Zanny's at. And like I said, Lee has more information on why Zanny would double cross her. And again if we're looking at motive right now we're starting to... I'm starting to see a little bit of a motive. If Casey promised her something... the other thing.. SB CA Like what. 'cause I'm still not seeing motive. Well, if she promised her a place to live and whatever I'm not sure. The other thing is to, Casey made a statement to me back in December or January that she'd lost a lot of her money in the stock market. And I said, really, she said yes a couple of friends got together. She didn't really elaborate, said that um, they all went on hunch they thought they you know has a sure thing. And she said, Zanny had lost a lot of money into that as well. And urn... SB Casey said she lost money too?

comp... for her side of the computer. We have a desk top at our house that urn, my husband and I have a login under Casa de' Anthony, which means.. SB CA SB Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... house of the Anthony's. Right.
CA That anybody can use. And then Casey has her own password. Well, she just to change her password form Rico, which I'm thinking stands for Ricardo. And it's the.. like three numbers and I'm not sure what it is, 234 or.. 230.. 262 or whatever
is it
I'm not sure.
SB CA
Why do you think those three numbers? Because I knew there was a 2 and a 3 in there. My husband knows what that is and so does Lee. They can tell you exactly what that is. That could be ...
SB CA
Okay. ... Ricardo's address. Her new, her new password is Timer55. We have no clue what Timer55 is. But she told Lee the other day Timer55 means, she has 55 days that she's being taught that lesson that I told you. Remember I said that person took... put her down on ground and said, I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) She has 55 days. Okay, if we count from June 14 th , 6/14 to 8/9, which is Caylee's birthday, that's 55 days. And she said that Caylee will be returned on her birthday. At that time she's gonna learn her lesson. Now that was in the beginning when she first told her this. We don't know if anything's gonna
change now. Because no one knew that the police was gonna be pulled into it. Who knew that Casey's mom was gonna involve the police. You know maybe
'7 boì

they all thought maybe this person thought that Casey could keep a secret that long I don't know. But I just find it hard to believe that Timer55... I don't know why she would pick Timer55? She's always used like Horace like our cat's name. I use Horace a lot at my work. SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) You know different combinations. I use my kid's names, I mean use things that are familiar... SB CA Right. ...not gonna forget. Ricardo was the last boyfriend that we knew about not

Tony. She hadn't been home since Tony was her boyfriend. I'm not real sure that Tony is her boyfriend I think she was using him as a place to kind of hangout. He may feel that shhh... you know shhh, that might've been ... SB CA He was her boyfriend. ...that way. But I think Casey was stay.. hiding out there because she couldn't come home. And that Timer55 I'm not sure what date that was changed. I don't know if it was changed.. it's be interesting to find out from the Sheriff's Department because they had our computer, when that password was changed to Timer55. If it was changed that day that... 'cause Casey did have a little bit of access to the computer without me being there. I mean she logged on. I don't know if she had an opportunity to change her password on her side 'cause she was doing the My Space. sg CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Thing on her side of the computer. So, I happened yesterday just to do a real quick search. Do we need a break?

CA You can have a break. SB CA SM SB No not... He's probably .. I already went to the bathroom. (laugh) Do you mind if I go to the...
CA No take a break. SB restroom real quick and I'll be back?
CA Sure. SB CA SM CA Okay, (sigh) (sigh) Hang in there. Hang in there. I'm trying. None of it makes sense, but I tell you if we have.. if we put our... Let's just say you know you.. you.. you look at all the angles and you look at, okay what if Casey did something to Caylee? And you're looking at all those angles. But if you look at the angles of a 22 year old mom who's scared for her life and truly feels like she's being threatened. You know no one knows how they're gonna act in a situation. Urn, I wasn't sure how I was gonna act on.. each time I picked up the phone what I was gonna say on those 911 calls. And would I do it differently? I don't know. If I ever was in a situation again I don't know what I'd do. You react when you react. You say what you say for a reason based on what you, what references you have. What references, what reference did I have? I had that car wasn't where it was supposed to be so I referenced it as a stolen car. Was that truly.. fully true? No because Casey had permission to take the car. But I needed to get the police out there. So, again you use references of what you know. So, Casey is giving the detectives references of
what she knows. The detectives are looking at it as Casey's full of shit. Is deliberately lying. Deliberately deceiving them because she's guilty of
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
something. But look at it in her shoes if she is a mom. Let's just give her the reasonable doubt here the presumption of innocence look at it. Instead of everybody thinking that she's guilty. Look at it from her standpoint where what if she really is a victim here? As much a Caylee is. And she is frightful that these people, whomever it is whether it's these people or Jesse or some frigging stranger off the street that we don't even know yet. Um, has you know has threatened her. If she's truly fearful she can't paint the entire picture because what's the first thing that's gonna happen? Someone's gonna storm right there. And if you're.. if you're not sure where Caylee's at and they're saying, I'm gonna hide her and if you come after me you'll never find her again and you may not find her alive. Or we're gonna start doing something to you family. I don't know it sounds so far fetched. You know Melich said it sounds like a fantasy, it sounds like... But you know what? It could be true. You know there's a lot of things out there that happen that you would think, God that's never gonna happen. But look at stuff happens all the time. So, if we put, if we give her the benefit of doubt and look at it from... SB CA SB CA (Returned to room) I was just explaining to Steve. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) You know everybody's looking at the ends, well what of she did something blah.. blah.. blah. But what if she really is innocent? And she's that, she's the victim in this as well. We're not giving her that presumed innocence. They were.. everybody's looking at as she's a, urn, what did they say? A person of interest?

SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Well, it almost looks like she's their number one suspect instead of a person of interest. But if she's truly in the position where she is fearful. Like I said, she's drawing on what she can to give 'em enough information. I used the analogy of me calling the Sheriff's Department and saying the car was stolen. I referenced the car 'cause I didn't know anything else. Technically the car wasn't stolen because she had permission to take it. But it wasn't where it was suppose to be and that was the only thing I could think of to bring the police out. Well, now that she has the police here and willing to help. She's trying to give 'ern as much information as she can. And I realize she may not know where Caylee's at. She knows who these people are. And if they go pounding on their door where is Caylee? And now they think that Caylee's rat.. Casey's ratted them out. If we knocked on Ricardo and Amy's door right now, where's Caylee? You have Caylee because Casey says that she gave you to Caylee.
SB
Well let me... Let me throw this at you.
CA And they don't! SB If we follow her clues and we end up at their door, we're gonna knock on the door and we're gonna say... CA SB CA SB CA I know. ...., where's Caylee? I know. And the same situation is gonna exist. I understand. But the point of it is, we should do that.. we should number one, look at the possibilities where Caylee could be if they become a subject. I would

CA I know. SB CA If we have or have not done it. Because I don't know the specifics. Well I don't think that they have., They don't even know to look at these two people. I've never given them those two people as a possible person of interest. SB CA So, Ricardo and Amy are completely new to... I think so. ..Orange County? I mean they know of Amy as a person that brought me to Casey and that she had her car. But I don't know if Amy... SB Did you know.. did.. they didn't know any of this? They didn't know any specific information about it as far as you knew? CA SB CA SB CA SB CA SB CA They knew that I found Amy off of this. What's that phone... They have... ... number? They have ... This? ... all the original resumes. Okay. In Casey's possession. But again I have not shared any of this with them

Are we talking Amy and Ricardo? SB CA Right. Or Ricardo and Amy as the roommate I'm not sure 'cause she also said that that was Zanny's apartment. So, I'm not sure when Amy moved in with Ricardo.

'Cause he asked me, he goes, what do you know about Amy? And I said, I really know much, or but I don't think she has any involvement in this little bit that I know. She seems as shocked as I did. But you know I wasn't looking for a red flags. You know I didn't put two and two together about the car totaled, being totaled. Casey going to Jackson.. suppose to be in Jacksonville and that I was suppose to you know figure this stuff out. Urn, I certainly would've asked her more questions and maybe she would've been. I'm, you know I'm not sure why he sat there and looked like he was a nervous wreck and very uncomfortable the whole time. And I'm not the only one that noticed that. When all the friends came so, I'm not sure if he came just to kind of see what we thought we knew. And just wanted to know was he still safe.

But you know again I wasn't thinking that he was anybody of interest at that moment last week when we all got together.

Um, soon as I get in the car on my way home from work I pick up the phone and I call her. And she gets me through that half hour drive home. I mean we just like to chit-chat. Urn, she's very artistic like me. Urn, she likes to read, she you know likes to write. My son has the same characteristics of that so. I mean we, we, we get along very well. SB Very close?

Okay ho about dad? Her and her dad have a special relationship. Urn, they're a lot alike on a lot of things. Casey and urn, a few years ago George and I were separated.
CA
SB CA SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Because of urn, some mistruths from him you know. Yeah. And um, so their relationship has been strained over the last few years. Urn, mainly just because of his relationship with me. But we're, we were working all that out and I think, I don't know God always has a reason for things that he does. And I think this has brought us close together. And you know we even said that...
SB CA
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ....this is maybe you know one of the things that, that's' the plan. You know with all this Caylee that you know him and I are working on things and we're gonna be stronger, we're not gonna let things get in the way. But there was some mistrust and Casey and Lee were very betrayed from that and they're hurt. So, both of their relationship have been strained with their father. But prior to that you know just as close and they're just.. you could see that it's.. it's starting rebuild again. You know and it's hard though because we were separated for six months and that was right after Caylee was born. So...
SB CA
Okay. ....it's hard. And um, so I know it's not where it was before Caylee was born. And Caylee has northing to do with this, this just was timing that I found out something that he had been keeping from me for a while.
SB
Okay.

So, but they were always very close. Very, very close. Casey has one brother.
SB
CA Yes. SB CA SB CA SB No sisters? No sisters. Just the two of 'em right? Uh-huh. (Affirmative) What, what would.. how would you describe the relationship between Casey and Lee? CA Um, like a normal brother/sister relationship. I have an older brother and it's a love/hate thing. SB CA (laugh) But.. but you know annoying at times, but on both sides. But push comes to shove very strong you know family. Look out for each other. SB CA SB CA Strong loyalty there? Yes very strong loyalty there. Okay. Very strong. Little petty stuff doesn't mean anything when you know someone's hurting in our relationship whatever. SB CA (Inaudible)... Casey was always there for relationships for him and he was there if there was relationships that she wanted to talk to him about so. SB Who.. who within the family had the greatest amount of influence on her?

I would have to say... I would think it would be me. Okay. And I'm not sure if she would say that. But I would... (laugh) ....think that. Why.. why would you say that? I don't know. You see a lot more of her and you... I see.. I.. well I see a lot of her father and I see a lot of me, but I mean her characteristics she always... she always told me she wanted to grow up and be like me. And she wanted to model herself after me and being a mother and things like that. And I know she was struggling very much so to have her independence being a mom, it's very hard. I don't think I could live with my mom raising a child. I mean as close as I am with my mom I live my mom to death. But it's hard because it's hard for George and I not to say something to her one in a while about Caylee. She's a great child, but sometimes you'd say, well can't she stay up a little bit we're playing grandparents and she's say, no it's her bedtime. So, she's right she's them mom and she should be the one that says that she should stay... you know when she should go to bed. George and I are trying to spoil her we don't have an opportunity to spoil her like normal grandparents we're there so.

SB You would've been the same way. CA SB CA I would've been same... That's why you're saying that. I would've been the same way with my mom. Would've been living with me and she'd say, well keep her up. And I'd say no she's got to go to bed because then she's gonna be cranky in the morning and blah.. blah.. blah. Because you don't have to deal with her I do. So, I mean I understand that type of thing. SB Okay, who., who in the family did she have the... greatest amount of conflict with? CA SB Probably her dad in the last few years. Just because of the things... Right. Don't worry about the table. We'll get it cleaned later don't worry. I'm sure I'll dump something in here in a little while. Was there any... was there any of there following abuse issues present in the household? Any physical, emotional, sexual or substance abuse? CA No. SB CA Um, what religion if any is practiced by you guys or by her? Urn, we don't go to formal church. We all pray and Lee's the only one that I think a few years ago urn, when he was a high school. Kind of lost his faith a little bit `cause he was very ill and I think sometimes when you see things like that. And I've you know urn, Casey's always read her bible. Urn, George and I went to church when we were little and stuff like that. But as a family we didn't. SB Uh-huh. (Affirmative)

We talked about God urn, it wasn't a normal thing that we sit down and prayed at dinner or anything like that. We're not overly religious, but it seems like in time of crisis we did. I remember when the hurricanes came we all prayed together and things like that. I mean when it.. it's unfortunate and George and I have been talking about this. That we feel more and more close to God now then we ever have. 'Cause you know when you start praying three or four times a day instead of.. I mean I pray to God everyday and I always have since I was a child. But I pray to him all day long. You know and I feel like I'm.. I feel like it's too late that you know he's... I.. I can't say that. But I mean I feel like I should've been doing it all along. You know you always look at what should I have done differently and I don't want to ask for any favors of him.

why he wears it if you don't believe in God. Because my morn gave it to me. But I saw him praying in his own way. I've seen him pray in his own way. SB CA SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) You know so, I know there's faith there. Is Casey religious? Yeah she reads the bible more then any of us. In fact we tried to get her bible to her and they won't let her have it. I gave her... in fact I was so shocked when I opened her bible and my picture was the one that was in her bible. SB Actually they will have one for her there.
CA Okay. SB CA Um, they should. yeah I don't know where her bible is I haven't gotten it back. But they said that he.. she couldn't have it Jose didn't bring it back to us so I'm hoping to get that back soon. SB Okay. CA So. SB CA How.. how does, how does Casey feel about her physical appearance? Urn, sometimes she'll think she's too thin. I mean just to go... you know a young girl. And sometimes she'll think she's too fat. I mean but no she's a lot of self confidence she always has been. Um, she had a little chubby stage when she was in 9th grade. Not.. not fat or anything. She had a little chubby stage so you know it's all typical of little girls, you know young girls. Urn, but she works out she's very you know she runs urn, she does crunches. I mean she's always mindful of what she eats and things like that. She has a good urn, feeling of self

that she's you know an ugly girl. She's very attractive girl so, I mean ... SB CA SB Okay. ..that give her some confidence. Does she have any noticeable physical characteristics or unusual mannerisms or gestures that you... you know as her mother? CA Unusual? SB Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Or just any ..
CA No. ...general ones? Nothing unusual, but I mean her smile she's always smiling. She's got a great smile. And what most people when they first meet Casey she's very outgoing and urn, she's a very likable person. And the most... first thing you see is her eyes and that smile and I see that in Caylee is that smile. And well... SB CA SB CA SB CA Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... those eyes captive you and they... Okay. ... bring you in. How does she feel about her smile? Urn, she.. I've never known her to not say she didn't have a good smile. When she was little she had a gap in he teeth until she got ... SB CA She knows it works for her? I think she knows it works for her. I mean she's got a good smile. I mean anybody that smiles.. I been told I need to smile more even before all this.

CA: No. ...that you know of? Okay.
23 S B: 24 25
CA: No. No. We've talked about eventually going to group counseling and we never did. I think a lot of it was with her struggle with her dad and stuff too trying to get
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
together. I suggested all of us getting together urn, not to really rat George out or nothing. But you know there was ... he had deceived me for a few years about money, financial things and stuff like that. And he tend to you know cover things up a little bit for a while. And I was starting to see some of those trends with Casey as far as not being truthful. And when I went to the counselor she said that you know sometimes people if they see someone close to them push it then they might do the same thing too. SB: Right.
CA: So, that's why I thought maybe as a group we might want to talk about it. But that never panned out. I mean it never happened it was never a time issue where we could al get together and all that. SM: SB: Go to it. Does she use alcohol, tobacco or drugs?
CA: Not to my knowledge. I mean I know she would have an occasional, once in a while.. I mean it's very rare that George and I wouldn't have alcohol in the home. Once in a great while we'll have a wine cooler or you know one of those Daiquiri things.. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: .. in a you know already made up. And I know that she's drank that in the house. I know on he birthday on her 21 st birthday she got inebriated and her brother brought her home. But he was with her and they all, they knew the 25 th birthday was gonna be a big bash. And I witnessed her throwing up in the front yard and brought her in. That's a normal thing. But talking to her friends she was always the one that would tell them you know you need to slow down and things like

that. Talking to her friends she was the one, she might have a beer or something like that. But she wasn't one that would just be rip roaring drunk. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Um, at least the friends that have come and talked to us about it.
SB: Okay. CA: And no hard drugs or anything. Um, you know I mean I, I'm not aware of anything. SB: CA: SB: What.. what are her sleeping habits? Does she get up early or late? Um... Stay up late? Not be able to sleep?
CA: She typically some days she'll go to be early 9 o'clock. Some days she'd stay up till 12 o'clock depending on what was going on, how Caylee was. Most of the time we try to get Caylee in bed by 8 or 8:30. You know if Caylee was urn, interested in something or she let her stay up or I convinced Casey to let her stay up. You know she might not get to bed till 10, 10:30 and then it was hard for Casey to unwind. So, she might stay up a little bit. But I know sometimes she would talk on the phone with her friends. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: You know late at night or someone would text her and then she'd talk on her.. you know um, at night. But she's not a early morning person unless she had something she had to do. I mean she typically you know sleep till 7 or 8. Uhhuh. (Affirmative) Caylee hopefully would sleep till 7 or 8 and if Caylee was up, then she'd you know let Caylee.. Caylee would sleep with her. And um, Casey had DVD's in her bedroom in the in.. already programmed in so all she had to do

was hit the play button and she could lay down while, you know continue to rest while Caylee watched you know a video. SB: CA: DVD's. Yeah, Veggie Tales or something in the morning and she'd be content laying with mommy. SB: CA: SB: CA: She.. you.. she had normal sleep habits so she wasn't.. Yeah. ...extremely late night person? No, no, no. And insomniac that couldn't sleep at all or anything like that? Not like me right now. Hot flashes wake me up in the middle of the night can't go back to bed. SB: CA: SB: Are here any.. any recent changes in her sleeping habits that you're aware of? Not that I'm aware of. It's all been pretty much the same. What's the highest level of schooling that she received? Achieved? Um, high school she was one half credit shy of her diploma. She was suppose to have graduated. We found out that two days before graduation that one of her credits... And I actually was upset about this because I went to um, the counselor in her junior year and said this is gonna be an issue and you need to fix it now. Because they had pulled her halfway through the first semester from one teacher to the next. Well, they were at different ... SB: CA: Places. ...places. And um, they wouldn't let any of the other stuff count so she ended up taking.. she just dropped that first part of her English. Well she made up half of that semester, but didn't ever make up the second half. And urn, we didn't catch

it until they cut it like the day before she was able to walk. So, she didn't actually get her diploma. And then she was gonna go ahead and get it and never did because right after graduation she got her job at Kodak and started working right away. So, she's a half credit shy of graduation. In fact all her friends last year graduated, but she just didn't walk. SB: Did she participate in any sports or other extra curricular activities?
CA: Yeah she was in Track, she did photography urn, in fact she was.. she would've probably gone off to photography school had she not become pregnant with urn, Caylee. 'Cause she started urn, we got that.. she got that job at Kodak like a week after graduation and urn, was doing very well through them. And it was actually good for her because she got good exposure with a lot of stuff. And urn, we were planning on possibly having her go over to Tampa. She got offers from California all over the place really good photography schools. And when she found out she was pregnant with Caylee the focus kind of went. But she was just starting to get back into thinking about that. Urn, you know getting her urn, GED you know finishing that last credit and going and start doing some other things. SB: CA: SB: CA: Okay. She interact well with all of her peers? I believe so. Or you... She's very well liked. She has a lot of friends. She has a lot of friends from years ago. And we.,. people have been you know reaching out that you know she hasn't seen for a while and they all think very highly of her.

Urn, not that I'm aware of. Urn, the only one that I know she really didn't like was that one English teacher and that one grade that she argued with. Because it was like, well why can't you accept what I've done from this other teacher? And I kind of argued the same things and I thought that was kind of was unfair. But nothing she always gets along with...

It's not a Universal employee even though they went to Universal had Universal badges. She was actually employee of Kodak. SB: Of Kodak. CA: And then a year or so later Kodak lost their contract with them and it went with Color Vision.

You don't have to when you go for a leave of absence to hold your exact position. As long... SB: Just have to retain your employment? CA: Exactly. And um, so she was on.. in different sights at Universal through Color Vision. Like at Mummy or Men in Black or whatever they needed. Um, and like where you would do the ride and they'take the picture. And then... SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: ....they go over um, and then you process whatever they wanted. SB: Get the pictures, yeah.
CA: Yes. SB: How would you describe her overall work record? Was she hard working? Was she efficient? What... CA: Well she got a plaque within that first.. she got the employee of the year that first year. We have the plaque at home. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: Um, she was the youngest employee to ever get employee of the year and not even... I mean she was just there six months and got employee of the year. So, I think did pretty good for her to move up to Human Resources I thought that was pretty good. SB: CA: Okay. Some of these get tricky. That's alright. I'm (Inaudible)...

What... But yes I have spoken with Ryan. In fact that very first morning on the 16 th of July, I reached out to Ryan and asked him urn, if he could help. Because we were looking... I didn't know if Casey was in Jacksonville if there was any connections there and he had connections he said with P.I.'s. And we.. Casey helped me email some pictures recent pictures of Caylee up to Ryan.

I only saw him for just from the outside his door sitting on the couch, I did speak with him on the phone once. After that reached out to him just to see if we could put down, figure out where she was and I could make some sense of the conversation she did. He was willing to talk to me, but he wanted to speak with the Orange County Sheriff's Department present and they said no. Deputy Melich said no that wasn't a good idea. Which I couldn't understand why he wouldn't want us to sit and talk. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Yeah. What a, what's Caylee's date of birth? Um, 8/9/2005. She'll be three. Okay. She's biological right? Yes.

SB: What does she value most? CA: Right now her daughter. I mean I think she's.. I think since Caylee was born I think she values her daughter and her relationship with her daughter. I think that's her.. been her priority and it's been very obvious. And I'm not just saying that because of the investigation or Caylee's missing. I would say that, I would've said that two months ago, two years ago, the day she was born you could see it from ... SB: What would you have said before Caylee was born? CA: What she valued most? Family and her friends. Urn, pretty much you know Casey likes you know urn.. I remember reading this question. She's not a loner. SB: CA: SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) She does like... I mean we all like downtime. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I would prefer to be more downtime. I like to be with my friends, truthful I like peace and quiet 'cause I never get it. Like sometimes you want what you don't have. Urn, but Casey likes to be with someone most of time. She does once in a while like to be by herself. But she either likes to be sitting and talking to me or talking on the... with a friend or something like that. And Lee's totally opposite he like.. he'd rather be alone most of the time. SB: Who does she turn to for advise? CA: Urn, if not me urn, Lee and she'll reach out to her friends. She'll ask.. and she'll ask a couple friends I think if you know she's really on the fence with something. SB: Okay. What does she do in her spare time?

Urn, she likes to take pictures you know. She likes to urn, photograph Caylee. But urn, she likes to write. Lee and Casey like to write things. She likes to write thoughts and different things. Urn...
SB: CA:
Does she keep her thoughts or writings some place that you're aware of? Yeah she'll leave 'em out or she'll have a drawer and she doesn't mind us reading them. She's never been secretive like that kind...
SB: CA:
Okay. ...thing. Urn, her and I talked about writing a book you know children's book and you know using Caylee as an inspiration. Urn, she's very creative. Urn, she likes to urn, plan things you know she was wanted to be an event coordinator slash do photography like at events birthday parties, weddings things like that. Urn, she'd been working on compiling some things together you know to do that. And urn, you know Ca.. she's consumed with Caylee as far as you know doing stuff with her. I mean spending time with her, quality time with her. And I.. when I'm not working I'm consumed with spending quality time with Caylee. She's just a joy to be around so.
SB: CA:
Does she own a pet? We have urn, four pets in the house. Urn, there's one cat that's specially was obtained for her.
SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:

SB:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Family pets?
CA: Yes. In fact she let's them sleep on her bed with Caylee and her. As long as they're not disturbing Caylee's sleep. SB: I think I know the next question, but on what does she spend her time and money and effort? CA: SB: CA: I think Caylee. I mean she spoils her that's why it's hard for me to spoil her. If you know it, does she view pornography? I've never had any evidence. I never even found a Play Girl in Lee's room so.. (laugh) no. So, if they do they're doing it on their time not where I can see it so.
10 SB: Okay. What.. what is her internet or computer use like? How much time does 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
she spend on it? CA: SB: Urn... Is it constant or just you know..
CA: No. SB: CA: ....whenever she has to? It's.. it's whenever she can. I mean mainly because it's.. it's hard to do it with Caylee. Caylee likes to go on the computer. Urn, she usually will set aside time and he'd go on the computer like if I came home from work after dinner or whatever. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: You know one of us would give Caylee a bath and she'd go on the computer for a little bit and talk to her friends on MY Space. Do a little um, research on things she was working on or whatever. And urn, after an hour or so then she'd come back out and join us and put Caylee to bed. I mean it was not a whole lot. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)

CA:
I mean she wouldn't stay up every night on the computer doing anything like that.
I
don't...
SB: Maybe an hour a day? CA: Yeah, I don't..
SB: A the house? CA: ....think more then a couple of hours a day at the most. Depending.. you know depends on the day. Maybe if Caylee had a long nap and she was bored she might go on the computer instead of flipping on the TV if she didn't have anything else to do. Has she met anyone in person after initial contact online that you know of? I've never known her to make an internet connection. But I don't.. I don't know I mean I can't say one way or the other, but I put... I've never heard her talk about anybody that she met through the internet. SB: CA: SB: CA: How would you describe.. she.. I mean she has a driver's license obviously. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) How would you describe her driving? She's very cautious driver. Urn, I.. I.. other then my husband or my son I'd rather ride with her as a driver. SB: (laugh)

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: (Laugh) So, that tells you something. And that even before Caylee was born.
SO...
SB: What.. what would you describe as the positives of her personality? CA: Um, she's very compassionate, very caring, very outgoing. Urn, she's.. her friends label her as the mom of the group. And I find that very funny because that's what my co-workers call me. You know I'm always worried about you
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
know are you eating? And I might not be the one.. I'm.. I'm not, I'm not eat, but I'm always telling her, well you need to eat, you need to get some more rest, you need to do this. What can I do for you, you know things like that. And, and they.. they said that she was the mama out of the group she kind of keep everybody on the right track. And I was kind of like that to in high school and afterwards. You know my friends smoke pot, I never did that. They smoked cigarettes, I never did that. Urn, if we drank, yeah I could count on maybe one hand times that I got inebriated but wouldn't drive home. I was usually the designated driver. So, I mean Casey's kind of like that to so. SB: What., what negative qualities do you see in her personality?
CA: Urn, God I never thought about it. Urn, obviously now she has some tendencies to lie, but I mean I would say urn, complete truthfulness. Which was never a big.. a huge issue until recently. Urn, never had reason to really discount where she was or what she was saying. Urn... SB: What were here life goals or her ambitions or dreams that she talked about? CA: You know she wanted to have a family. She wanted to you know eventually be married and have a couple more children. And she wanted to do something with photography, event planning or whatever. She talked about having her own urn, photography studio. And at one point when she was God right out of high school, 18. Just before Caylee was born she talked about having a urn, a diner/restaurant like Casey's or something like that. Something that was Irish you know. SB: Something Irish?
MD
CA: She has an Irish connection. Yeah she loves shamrocks. Urn, she has a little
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Irish in our background and a lot of Irish from urn, my husband's background so. And then she's you know born by St. Patrick's Day. So, she's always been ... SB: During her life that you know her, her (Inaudible)... and the whole time. What significant stressors has he experienced? CA: Stress? SB: CA: Stressors. What.. what ... I think the biggest stress in her life was her brother's illness and when he was 16 she was 13, Lee urn, Lee had urn, he had ITP, which I don't know if you guys know that what that means. He had no platelets, he had very low platelets. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: Where he was at risk for hemorrhaging and not being able to clot. And that was a result of taking acutain. Acutain (Inaudible)... SB: CA: (Inaudible)... And it put him in the hospital and put him on restriction. It was just before 16 th birthday. He wasn't allowed to drive, it was a year before he could get his license because we had to be very careful. It took months and months and months gong to the doctors a couple times a week and there was a lot of stress. And I think ... SB: How did she handle it?
CA: She was very supportive. We.. I don't know if any of us handle well. Lee went into a depression at that time and I think that's the time where I felt like he felt like there was no God or whatever. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: And urn, she was very supportive of him. But he kind of didn't really want talk to a lot of people then. Uri, but she.. she coped very well I men trying to encourage

him to bring friends over and things like that. Um, as we all did, but we gave him his space when he asked for it. Urn, you know would I have done something different? I probably would've sought out some help for him. I mean I think the fact that he couldn't participate in sports for almost a year. Couldn't drive a car. Had to sit in the backseat and had to be well protected. That was very difficult. I mean it was a change in all of our live styles. She was used to going out playing basketball with him, fool around with his friends. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: My husband and I coached basketball um, FBBA with the kids and um, I was very involved with the FBBA for several years, was the treasurer for our local FBBA Association and urn, my husband and I both coached team. And it was all made up of all Lee's friends and she always went to the games and cheered 'em on and things like that, very close. So, I think that was probably the biggest stress because when we moved here in '89 it was stressful for me and George, but the kids didn't notice it. She was only 3. SB: CA: Yeah. So, I don't think that was big stress in her life. And um, the only other stress that she had was when George and I were having problems right after Caylee was born. I think that's really the only major stress. I mean we haven't... well she had a loss of a good friend in a car accident right close to our house. I almost forgot about that. A year after high school I think. Adam Mosuer got killed. Someone pulled out and you know killed him. He was right outside his own development and he was killed and he was only um, he was just between Caylee's birth and urn, right after high school. So, they were very young. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)

CA: And that was kind of traumatic for her. Really close friends and passed but she... I mean she coped with it very well. I mean all their friends you know they all.. it's very sad the marker's still there today we pass it all the time. But I mean she didn't have any ill effects from that it was just a normal (Inaudible)... SB: CA: No long lasting... No long lasting thing like that. And I don't recall any other major stresses.
SB: Have you, have you ever witnessed her become overwhelmed by stress? CA: No. I mean we had some loss of pets two years ago urn, you know. Not two years ago. Urn, Caylee's 3 so almost 3 1/2, 4 years ago. We lost two of our family pets within months of each other. We... Cocker Spaniels, we had the mom and a puppy when the kids were little we let the Cocker have a litter of puppies and we kept one of 'em. And they both died within from October to January. So, we loss both of 'ern in a short period of time. They were older they had cancer and things like that. And you know the loss of a pet's a traumatic thing. SB: Yeah. CA: But again she got over it and as we all did, we grieved and then we got new puppies, so you move on. But no long lasting things. So, I mean those are just normal things but no family you know losses. No deaths that were close to her like all her grandparents are still alive. You know and things like that. SB: (cough) Yeah. CA: So. SB: Does she have the capacity to show empathy and compassion? CA: Oh absolutely. Urn, she... she's the first one if someone.. if she knows one of her family... I mean she was, she was the... my rock when George and I split for

a while. And urn, she's like that with all her friends when she talk.. you can see it. A lot of her friends would call her with.. for advice. A couple of her friends been through bad marriages already and different things. Urn, she reaches out to all her friends that are in the service. Urn, keeps in touch with them. I mean you know she's real in touch with other peoples' feelings. SB: Is she competitive?
CA: She was in high school. She ran track and you know.. she was a long distant runner and it was a team you know the.. I don't think she did too many single things it was all you know they want to win, but it was a competitive thing and she knew it was.. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... you know a team effort. Urn, I don't think she's ever over competitive like I see.. SB: Not like at home with her brother all the time (Inaudible)...
CA: No, Lee and Casey were never competitive I don't think. I never saw it that they were competitive for our attention or anything else. We.. we you know I don't see ever either one of 'em vying for attention like you see with some families or some kids trying to do that. SB: CA: SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Urn, they were both really good kids. I mean ... How would you describe her opinion of herself? I think she's pretty confident and I think she feels that she has self worth. I mean I would be shocked if heard differently. And I think... I think having Caylee just validated that there's a lot of good that can come out of you and Caylee's a good little girl.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: You think her self image is accurate? CA: SB: CA: I think so. Does she display emotion appropriately to the circumstances in your opinion? I believe so I've never seen her act inappropriately. I mean I've never seen her just cry at the drop of a hat. I mean we're all hormonal when it comes to our period times and things like that. But I mean I mean if she's gonna... if you're gonna cry or be sad it just brings the tears out a little faster. It doesn't mean it's no appropriate situation... SB: CA: Right. ... to go ahead and cry. So, no.
SB: What makes her angry? CA: Um, I don't see her extremely angry. I think if she gets angry it's more as an injustice type thing. If someone is being taking advantage of. If she sees that someone is being taking advantage of she'll... she'll stand up and speak the right you know and speak up for that person. Especially if she sees someone that can fend for themselves. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) She'll... she'll help out. And I kind of do that to if I see that someone you know maybe doesn't have the strength to speak up for them self I'll encourage them to and if they cant' then I'll speak up for them. I've done that in public with a stranger if I see someone's being taken advantage of I'll stop some and say, you know you rally shouldn't take advantage of that person... I've done that. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: And I have no problem with it. And I think Casey learned from example. I don't know.

Okay. Does she become bored easily? I don't know if she's ever had a time where she's had to be bored. I mean especially with Caylee in her life it's kind of hard not to be. Um, always something going on. If I look back prior to Caylee um, you know she was always working doing something, something to fill her time. Casey if she.. she didn't have time.. she didn't.. never had like I'm bored what do I do for excitement? She'd pick up a book and read a book. Or she'd draw a picture or she'd...

(laugh) (Inaudible)... over the last couple of months I guess yes. But up until then I had no really obvious you know, not frequently, periodically I'd catch her in something. SB: Why do you think that's changed? CA: SB: I'm not sure. I really... I really am not sure. Okay. Does she behave dramatically.. different depending on the environment that she's in?

So, urn, the two mangers that I did speak with before urn, validated what.. what my image was of her.. have.. in her work. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Right. So..

SB:
Draw anymore attention to yourself. ...draw anymore attention to it. And I'm always the one saying, don't do that honey because you never know this day and age you might get shot. So, no I've never seen her have a outburst that was... Unless you know I mean if, if someone's asking an opinion she would say her opinion. But if someone had a different opinion she wouldn't disagree with 'ern. She appreciated their opinion.
lo CA: 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: Yeah. When she expresses thoughts they make sense? CA: Yeah. I've never known her not to. Until the other day. SB: Will she accept responsibility for her actions?
CA: I've never seen her not. But I never seen her in a situation where she was you know didn't own up if I caught her in a lie she owned up to it. Urn, I've never seen her in a position where you know that ... SB: CA: SB: CA: Outside of the current situation you haven't seen her in some.. I've never seen... ...situation.. Absolutely not. I mean this is the first..
SB: Have you ever known her to experience guilt or remorse over her actions?
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
CA:
Urn, I've never seen it.. I mean I think we all feel guilty in our life about different things. My husband and I feel guilty that we didn't notice things earlier. But you can't do that to yourself. So, I can't say that she didn't feel guilty or remorse about something in her life. But it wasn't evident.
SB: CA:
Nothing that stands out. Nothing evident about anything. Um, I mean I could sit back here and play out the last six months feel guilty and pick myself apart. But...
SB:
Let's.. let's ask, I'll ask one question it's kind of specific to what we're talking about here in the last two weeks that you've been having contact with her where she is now. Has she expressed any guilt or remorse over the situation?
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB: CA:
No guilt. And all she's worried about is Caylee's wellbeing. I mean it's... Okay. I don't see any remorse because I don't.. I don't see it from her because I don't think she feels like there's anything that she's done. She maintains that Caylee was taken from her. I mean I haven't seen... I haven't seen anything to lead me to believe that she has anything to do with this.
SB: CA: SB:
Right. Has.. what are her attitudes towards law enforcement? I don't think she disrespects them at all. I think she just feels like ... To.. forget.. Okay I want...
CA: Okay.. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Let me qualify the question. Prior to this... Forget prior to this. ....very respectful. Right.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
Very respectful. I mean the only time I ever known her to be pulled over she had a ticket one time. She was coming home she had a friend with her that collaborated this. Her taillight burned out on her way home. The guy was behind her and gave her a ticket. He saw it go out and he gave her a ticket. And she like, what the heck are you talking about? You saw it go out. My husband took care of it, but it was one of those.. that was the only thing like, are you kidding me? But no very respectful. I mean urn, you know they always had the officers at the schools. You know both my son and my daughter were very friendly with the officers at the schools. You know they urn, would attend all of their meets and things like that, track meets, attend the games, the kids were always... So, I mean she had always respect for urn, authority.
SB: CA:
Okay. Right now it's a little bit changed she just feels like she's being railroaded and I'm not sure she isn't.
SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:
We know. I'm sorry. You can't.. No. That's my opinion of it. No. My opinion.. That's alright. ....of certain people have changed. I have the utmost respect for authority, but my opinion of a certain judge and my opinion of a couple of police officers right now are in question.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB: CA: SB: CA:
Okay. But overall authority to the police. I have the utmost respect, but again it's just... Well, right now there's no doubt that's she's being vilified in the media. Exactly so, and who... you know part of it is you know they hear what they hear and they're trying to get...
SB: CA: SB: CA:
There's.. They're trying to get their story out and... Yeah and, and what people hear in the media is... (sigh) It's not right. ...their perception. I know. And although perceptions aren't necessarily true they are in the minds of the people...

SB:
CA: SB: CA: SB:
I know. ....that are perceive it. I know. So, um, is there any other additional information about... I mean you've been pretty clear in our answers here that on.. where you see Casey being as a person. You had anything else you want say about...
CA:
I've always thought that she was a very adjusted child. That she was um, you know that she was focused. That she did have goals you know. I've never met al the goals that I ever wanted to meet.
SB:
How... I'll ask a personal question, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. How did she handle when she found out she was pregnant?
24 25
CA:
I'm not real sure because I'm not real sure um...
SB:
2
(Inaudible)...
CA: The day that she... SB: This.. this already.. Right. By the way this is... The day that... ... different question.
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB: CA: SB:
CA: ...she told me I knew she was further along and I had asked her a couple of times and she denied it. I'm not sure if she did 'cause she was afraid. SB: U h-hu h. (Affirmative)
CA: Of what we would were gonna say or do. But the day she told me it was like, okay let's go tell your dad and we'll start fixing up the computer room for a nursery. So, I.. I think she was overwhelmed and afraid. I think she tried to hide it for a while until she couldn't hide it anymore. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) She's a little girl. And even when I started to get suspicious I backed off 'cause I figured she's gonna tell me when she's ready. There's no point in beating her up over it. I mean if she's already pregnant it's not something you're gonna turn back and there's never a question that we were gonna not let her have the baby or she did not want to have the baby. So... SB: Was there ever any hesitancy on her part that you're aware of regarding having the baby? CA: No not at all there was never a doubt that she was not gonna have the baby. Um...
SB:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
The values that she grew up with urn, regarding abortion and other things. How would she view it?
CA: SB: CA:
Her and I both believe in abortion. Would it be an option? Her and I both believe in abortion. I strongly believe in abortion for certain circumstances.
SB: CA:
Right. Urn, but there was never a question that that was what she was gonna do. She would.. that...
SB: CA:
She wasn't gonna do that? She wasn't gonna do it there was never a question that that's something that she even thought of. That was..

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA: SB: CA:
So, so the issue of having the child wasn't a point of contention amongst ... Not at all. ...family or ... Not at all because the day that she came to me I was actually at my work and she urn, said, I want to talk to you. And you know I went into.. I stepped out of my office and we went outside it was not hot it was urn, you know it wasn't that bad when we went outside. We talked and when she told me I just hugged her and I said, well I guess I'm gonna be a young grandma and you know it was right away it was like it's gonna be okay we're gonna get through it. And it was reassurance and there was no questions ever in either of our minds that we weren't gonna support her and she was ever thought about not having urn, Caylee.

Would it, would it surprise you and I'm not saying that this is true. Because of what's happened in other cases like this. Would it surprise you if there were friends out there who said that she viewed Caylee as an obstacle to her life?
CA:
I never saw it.
SB: Okay. CA: I never heard her say those words. SB: Any friends ever express anything to you about that? CA: No. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: And I'm not saying that she has because I haven't.. No. ..that. No. But this is kind of some things with young girls.. All, all of he friends... ....on situations like this. ....were happy for her and very excited. In fact her best friend now is pregnant and she's unmarried. And they were all excited for her. And it.. I don't.. we didn't see her as an obstacle we saw her as a blessing. SB: Right.
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: And I... I never saw that in Casey's eyes for ever once that she... SB: CA: Okay. ... put a hindrance. And the other thing is that was the other thing about having her home. I never questioned where she was. 'Cause I enjoyed taking care of Caylee when she wasn't there. So, Casey knew she could go.. come and go as she pleased and do what want. We never put rules and restrictions on the kids.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
As they got to be 18 we never did that. We put rules and restrictions on up to then. Lee lived at home until he was 23 years old. That's a long time for a boy to live... for a young man to live... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... in the house. And urn, you know so there was no rules and regulations. I mean they knew I worried about 'em and I.. you know if they didn't come home and... I always wondered why my mom would.. could never go to sleep until you come home. And I.. there was nights I didn't get home until 3 or 4 in the
morning. You know and I was in nursing school and I wondered why my mom didn't go to bed. She said, you just can't sleep, you can lay down, but you can't sleep. Um, but I never questioned where she went and if she wanted to go hangout she could. I just enjoyed having Caylee and so did my husband so, it wasn't, it was never like you can't do this so you have to stay home and watch Caylee 'cause we're not watching her. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: Right. So, I don't think there was any ever pressure that she felt like you know... Okay. So. That's comforting. Yeah. And that's.. that's why.. that's... that's part of the reason I truly never saw Caylee as a burden to Casey. Casey.. it was always me saying Casey.. Caylee needs to sleep in her own bed. Just no Casey wanted her close to her. She wanted to be with her. You know urn, Casey did breast feed Caylee and that's when she started bringing her in it was easier... And she has a queen size bed by the way in her bedroom.

Uh-huh. (Affirmative) So, it's not like it's on a you know on a twin bed. Little bitty twin bed. Right. I mean so she has a um, a decent size bed and always very careful. Made sure the bed was up against the wall, lined with those big pillows those big sleep pillows. I have one that ...
CA: SB: CA:
SB: CA:
Yeah. I have one body pillow. We have three of 'ern in her room where she has 'em lined up so that Caylee couldn't fall through the cracks and everything like that. And she had a little one of those little urn, nursing pillows that she would keep so that Caylee when she was little would not be so she could roll over on her. I mean she was always very protective of her.
SB: CA:
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Urn, that's why all of this doesn't make sense. I mean there was never a red flag. Urn, you know nothing out of the ordinary, no bruises that weren't something you know something that I didn't see Caylee do herself. Urn, and that's kind of.. You know they did ask us a week ago Monday if there was.. on Monday when the deputies came over when Sergeant Allen and Melich came over. Told us that they were gonna testify the next day at the bond hearing. And they asked us if we 'd ever seen any bruises on Caylee and I said, absolutely. I mean I saw her take a big dive one time where she jumped off her bed. We have a little picnic table in her bedroom where she sits and she has a ...
SB:
Yeah.
1bV1
CA:
... picnic with her stuffed animals. Well, she jumped off the bed and cracked herself right here. And she had a scab and believe me I felt terrible when Casey came home I'm going, honest to God Casey....
SB: CA: SB: CA:
(laugh) ....I swear to God... Didn't do anything. (laugh) ....didn't do anything this is what Caylee did and I felt so bad. And Casey knows Caylee likes to climb, she likes to do you know and the last bruise that I... I knew
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
that she had before urn, urn, before urn, she... I haven't seen her before her disappearance. Urn, was faded, but urn, it was the height of the computer desk. Urn, and Caylee likes to climb up on the computer chair and she likes to play on the keyboard even when the computer's not turned on. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: And typically we keep the door shut. Urn, Casey was in the computer room and Caylee was in there. And Casey had just gotten off and Caylee was still facing her mom and believe it or not we have one Yorkie that's this big and we have one that's this big. The mommy is this one. SB: (laugh)
CA: The daughter Tilly's this big she's about 12 to14 pounds. About the size of my old Cocker Spaniel was. Tilly constantly stepping on Caylee, she loves her. She jumped on her, pushed her and the corner of the thing. But it was pin point it was no bigger... then probably this. SB: Yeah. CA: Right there. So, to me that's not abuse it anybody saw that bruise because it'd be pretty hard to do that to someone...
gig
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA:
(laugh) ....if you're abusing them. Usually if you see a bruise.. I've seen abused children and so has my husband.
SB: Oh yeah. CA: Urn, you're gonna see marks that are unexplainable things like that. And the other thing is Casey and Cay... Casey did the same thing with Caylee that I did. A bath every morning and a bath at bedtime and any time in between that was necessary. It was a normal occurrence, you get up in the morning they get a bath or a shower in the morning. Especially when they were diapers and Caylee was almost potty trained. I mean she was you know almost potty trained but still wore the urn, the diaper at night. SB: CA: Pull ups. Pull up at night. But she using Pull ups during the day, but almost a hundred percent potty trained. Because there was a lot of nights... SB: How was that process? CA: She's doing very well. I mean at night a couple of nights I mean she was getting to the point where she didn't pee at night in the, in the potty... but or in her training pants. Urn, but it was always you know wash her bottom get her washed up, you know get her you know fresh in the morning. I did that with my kids from the day they born bath in the morning and bath at night until they were completely out of diapers. Just because you know you can't just wipe 'em down with one of those wipes. And I'm not real happy with the wipes either I'd rather just have good old fashion soap and water. Get all that Destin and stuff off and start fresh again. And then naturally anytime during the day if they were out
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
playing or whatever you know wash 'em up or throw 'em in the tub. If we're going out somewhere and you want... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... clean up. But that was ritual. So, we.. you know that was always what we did. So, you're constantly seeing that child at least twice a day besides changing diapers or whatever. To make sure that there's.. if you.. you're seeing 'ern totally naked then you're making sure there's no bruises or ant bites or something like that. SB: CA: SB: Right. So. Was there any frustration expressed by Casey regarding potty training and stuff like that CA: No actually not Caylee was doing very well. Caylee was very bright and we had urn, a potty in the main bathroom where Casey and Caylee used and we had one in George and my bathroom. 'Cause Caylee's always busting into our bathroom and wanting to sit while we're in there either taking a shower or so I gibe her a crayons and I had, I had coloring books and crayons in my bathroom so that she could sit there and color. But no it was going very well. SB: I want to take another break.
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Okay. SB: And then I want to do one more thing. CA: Okay. SB: And it's not gonna be as hard as this one. But it might take a little bit time. want to start at the beginning from when Casey left the house. CA: Okay.
I
SB: And the last time you saw Caylee and then just do a little time line with me.

SM: Okay. CA: I heard her talk about Manny, I heard her talk about urn, Gabby, I heard her talk about Cheryl all the time. But I never met any of them. And I never met Jewel.. Juliet Lewis. SM: CA: Juliet. But I heard her talk about Juliet all the time and they were gonna eventually get together with the girls and have play dates and come over and things like that. And Casey said Juliet had moved a couple months ago. So.. SM: Waiting for Torn to get back he was returning phone calls.
CA:
Yeah. Since they just never stopped coming in. I turned my off. Juliet Lewis' mother Maria Lewis um, Casey had given me a phone number for her at one time. And I found out that that phone number.. was actually JP's number. And I'm not sure who JP is. JP I believe is the other person that went to Puerto Rico with Ricardo and urn.. Amy. ...Amy. If he didn't he's a really good friend of theirs JP hangs out with Ricardo and Amy. And I thought that was kind... So... ...strange that the number that we had for Juliet's mother, Lee found out is actually JP. And he probably knows more who JP is then I do. Um, which I thought that was kind of weird.

613
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Yeah there was three of 'em that went to Puerto Rico. Urn, I want to say it was JP it could've been Troy, but I know for sure it was Amy and Ricardo that went to Puerto Rico. And they were all there at time but they all took separate flights, which I thought was really strange. Why would you go on the same day and takes separate flights? I mean that's just odd.
SB: CA: SB: CA:
Yeah. I would.. if you're booking in advance book two seats together and take I mean.. It would make sense. (laugh) I mean I wouldn't want to fly if my friends are going I'd want to fly with them I mean who wants to fly by themselves?
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA:
Yeah. I mean Ricardo's explanation is that he was coming in late flying in from his.. seeing his mom.
SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB:
Mom. That made sense. But I just don't know why ... JP and (Inaudible)... Yeah if it was JP I mean I... Whoever it was. I'm pretty sure it was JP. Alright, now we're gonna go back to, when did Caylee and, and I'm gonna play completely dumb with you.
CA: SB: CA: SB:
Okay no problem. Okay. 'Cause I don't know all the specific dates I know that... You want to know the last time we saw her. Yeah. We'll start with the last time you saw them.
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Okay. And approximately what day? The last day that I physically saw them even though I knew they were in the house on the morning of the 16 th of June with I went ...
SB: CA:
SB: CA:
Okay. ...to work. The last physical day that I spent with them and put both of them to bed I would say is, um, the 15 th.
SB: CA:
Of June. Of June. George saw them leave on the 16 th . Get up in the morning do a normal day. Caylee's normal bag, Casey packed her normal bag for work that had extra change of clothes in it. I mean normal day, bye dad I'll see you later. Um, and this was I think he said sometime between like um, 12:50 to 1 o'clock somewhere in that time frame. He usually leaves to go to work around 2 you know at that time.
SB: CA:
Okay. So, it was about a hour before he went to work. And he remembers watching some.. something on the Food Network that you know he recalls the time. `Cause he likes to, he likes to watch those guys eat those hot dogs and hamburgers and (Inaudible)...
SB: CA:
(laugh) (laugh) But anyway he's starting to learn how to cook a little bit. He likes to watch that now.
SB: CA:
Okay. So.. so on this 16 th they left. And truthfully I thought it was the 8 th . Because the video that ya'll ... if you've seen any of the video that Caylee's reading that book. I shot that and I thought I
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
was confused. I truly thought that that was the week of urn, I was on vacation the week of June 2nd through June
8th,
which was a Sunday. I know that for a fact
'cause I was off my birthday, my birthday was June 5, which was a Thursday of that week. And I remember seeing my dad that week, but I got confused I didn't even think of Father's Day. I could've said it was Father's Day if I realized what Father's Day was the 15th and that's the day I went to see my dad. And took Caylee with me. But I see my dad almost every week until this happened you know. You know.. SB: The 15th was a Sunday right? CA: SB: Fifteenth was a Sunday. So... Father's Day.
10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Yeah I just found out a week ago Monday that it was actually the 15 th and not the
8th
like I had thought because it you know I guess when they checked the urn,
card on the on the inside my camera it said the 15th . SB: Okay.
CA: And they asked me if it could've been and I said well it could've been I assumed it was the 8th. 'Cause I thought it was the last Sunday before I went back to work, but I was mistaken it was the other. SB: It was the 15th .
CA: So, I mean you know.. yeah. And George saw her on the 16 th like I said leaving. SB: Okay.
CA: And her deal was she had said she was headed off to work for a few hours and she was gonna drop Caylee off at Zanny's the baby sitter's and gonna pick her up and.. plan was to be back later that night. But I had gotten a phone call, God I don't know what point in the evening, and said that urn, she had a lot going on.
1616
And that she wasn't gonna come home they were gonna crash at Zanny's that
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
night her and Caylee were gonna just stay at Zanny's. And then that kind of happened the next couple of days. And then on the 18th was the day she said they were going to Hard Rock Hotel and I asked why. I said, you now it's not that far to go, but she said they were having a convention there. SB: CA: So, June 17th , we're gonna say... Seventeenth, 16th and 17th they actually were crashing at the babysitters what she said. So, it was Monday and Tuesday. SB: Okay.
CA: The 18th she said that the baby sitter, which was Zanny, and her and Juliet and the two girls and the baby sitter's roommate. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Zanny's roommate were gonna... were staying at Hard Rock Hotel. And from my understanding what she was saying is they were staying there till Friday. And then they transferred on Friday, which would've been what the 20 th? No. SB: See, 15th , is Sunday m Monday, Tuesday...
CA: Wednesday, Thursday... yeah the 20th . SB: Wednesday. CA: Was Friday. They went to um Busch Gardens and I want to ... SB: So, they stayed there thel 8th and the 19th they were at Hard Rock? CA: Yes and then the 20 th she said they went to Busch Gardens to the hotel there. And I'm almost positive I can't say a hundred percent but I think she said it was a Marriott. SB: Okay.
1 CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
But don't quote me as that a complete fact. But I'm pretty sure that's what she said was the Marriott.
SB: Okay. CA: And they were supposed to wrap things up that Saturday morning. But she said it extended into Sunday morning. And then they decided when they finish Sunday instead of coming home what she told me is they were gonna just gonna stay there and enjoy the park. Because... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ....Zanny and her roommate were taking the girls to the park. Going to see the animals and different things like that. SB: That was Saturday? CA: That was Saturday and then on Sunday all.. all of 'em the urn, Zanny the baby sitter, Casey and Juliet and the two little girls were gonna enjoy the day together. And then.. SB: So, 21 st they stayed at Busch Gardens? The 22 nd they were staying there also?
CA: Yes and then on Monday was what the 23 rd then I guess. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) If we're following this chronologically. On the 23 rd is the day that Casey said they were corning back. I didn't get to talk to her till late in the afternoon that day.
It
was probably... I think I called her on my way home from work so probably between 5:30 and 6... no maybe yeah about 5:30. Because it's my early day, early day I start at 8, at 8 and I work till 5, but a lot of times I don't get out of there till 5:20 or so. My late days I have to stay till 5:30. But it's usually 6 or so before I get out of there. SB: Right.
CA: I mean you have to you know stay there answer the phone and do whatever. But
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
it usually takes me another half hour to clear my desk and get everything put away. SB: Yeah. CA: So, I.. I'm pretty sure it was around 5:30 when I talked to her on the phone. And she apologized for not calling me 'cause I left a message probably with her earlier in the day. Wanting to know if they were on their way home. 'Cause originally she said they were gonna be in early in the morning probably by noon anyway at the very latest. And she was supposed to call me when they got in. And I had.. I think I called George and asked if they'd gotten in and he said, no he hadn't heard from her all day. So, I called so I was a little concerned, plus I'm used to calling her on my drive home. SB: Drive home.
CA: And she, I left her a voice mail and she called me back and she was all upset. She said that Zanny and her roommate had got into an accident and they had taken the girls to.. you know the girls in the car to Tampa General. Well actually she said to the hospital and I volunteered, well is it Tampa General. Because they ... she said they'd just gotten on the interstate from um, in.. from 700.. onto 75. And that um, you know Casey and um, Juliet were like 8 cars behind and witnessed the accident. And they all pulled over and then followed the paramedics to. And supposedly her... SB: On 1-4? CA: She said 75 they'd just gotten on 75. So, I don't know if they'd gotten... I'm not sure if she... SB: Okay.
1
2
CA:
Either on 75 a little bit before you hit 1-4 I think you are. I haven't been over Busch Gardens for years. I mean it's probably been..
SB: You can you can come out either way.

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Yeah. SB: CA: You can get on 1-4... But I think it... I think she said 75. Um, I could be mistaken on that. I just know she was there.. um, she said she was going to the hospital... or she was at the hospital and I asked where Caylee was at that time. And she said sh... that they.. that Juliet took the two girls back Annabel and Caylee back to the hotel and got a room, their room again. Went back to the same hotel and checked back in because it didn't look like Zanny was going home that night. She said that urn, her... SB: CA: Juliet. Juliet took the girls back to the hotel while Casey stayed um, at the hospital with Zanny. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: So, the girls that we're talking about are Caylee and Annabel? Caylee and Annabel. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And urn, supposedly ... That would've been the Marriott right? Yeah that's what I think she said... (Inaudible)... ...was the Marriott. I'm pretty sure she said the Marriott. Urn, and again if I really would've thought it was a red flag I would've really paid attention, but I didn't think... SB: That's alright.
CA:
.... it was. You know I mean your memory tries to get better when things you know are pertinent. Urn...
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
SB: So, they stayed in Tampa again on the 23rd? CA: Yeah. And evidently roommate's mother was coming from again Jacksonville. Was another Jacksonville connection. Urn, to be with Zanny's roommate and Zanny's sister couldn't come to see her that day. And I was a little.. I told her that I thought you know that Zanny's an adult she's fine, but she said no mom she's got a concussion and I really don't want to leave her, she's my friend. SB: She stayed in the hospital with her?
10 CA: She stayed at the hospital she said with her. And she said she would go back 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
and forth checking on the on urn, Caylee. 'Cause I said, well you know I hate to see Caylee... I said why don't let me come get her and bring her home and then you can go back. And she said she really didn't want to you know.. she said it be better you'd have to take off work and all that. I said I don't really care you know at that point. But I let her go I mean it was her decision to keep Caylee there. She said Juliet was entertaining the girls and Casey.. Caylee was having fun 'cause she was playing with her friend and stuff. So, it was pretty reasonable story to (Inaudible)... you know to understand. Urn, so on the 24 th , she said just as they were getting ready to leave Zanny she.. you know let her.. release her that morning. 'Cause they kept her over night looking for concussion. Evidently Zanny started having more complications. She started complaining of her ribs hurting and things like that. She said that she punctured her lung, fractured her rib, but she didn't fully clasped the lung so they had kept her overnight again so she was still there on urn... SB: And did her mom come in?
CA: SB CA:
...on the 25th . Did she say her mom got there? Well, Zanny's mom was supposed to been ill. Had, had mini strokes or something like that. Her sister said she.. she said her sister finally came in on the 24th . No nobody came on the 23rd for Zanny. And the 24 th I think she said her, Zanny's sister came in. Brought her mom, but didn't bring her mom's medicines because you know urn, after the stroke I guess she was blood pressure medicines and probably blood thinner whatever. Thought she was gonna be released, but when she wasn't released her sister took her mom back home. So, Casey felt obligated to stay again. And I said, you know it's really the family's obligation to stay there Casey not yours, you're obligated to your daughter. So, I did have a couple of words with her that day and said, you know..
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA:
Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... I think your choice of.. your loyalty to your friends maybe take a little bit priority to your daughter. She says, but mom Caylee's fine you know Juliet's taking care of her, but Caylee's fine. I have to look out for my friend. So, you know I didn't... I didn't challenge her on that because I don't know how I would react if I was in that situation too. You know if you see someone by their self and then this goes back to Cay...
SB: CA:
Well, where was her roommate though? The roommate the mom had already taken her. The roommate was released.. the mom that came up from Jacksonville took her and took her back home. I guess they...
SB:
Oh so it wasn't Zanny's mom that was coming from Jacksonville?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
No it was the roommate's mom, I'm sorry if you got that. Zanny's mom came with Zanny's sister on the 24 th And...
Okay. ....this.. so from what Casey said urn... We don't know where they were coming from? This., from this Orlando area um... Okay. And Casey stated that at that time that they couldn't stay when they realized that Zanny wasn't going home that Julie... or that her sister had to take her back because her mom needed to get her medicine and she also had to go to class. And I thought that's kind of strange that someone needed to go to class when their sister was in the hospital.
SB: CA: SB: CA:
Right. I ... That was a question that I had. Right. Didn't make sense, but I didn't push it because again you know if she was taking her mom she'd still have to look in on her mom. And from what I had heard of Zanny for months and months that Zanny was the one that looked in on her mom a lot because her mom had been ill. Casey told me several occasions that Zanny's mom had been in and out of the hospital. What hospital I don't know. Um, so something's a .. you know..
SB: CA: SB: CA:
Now on the 24th is the roommate still in the hospital? No the 24.. the roommate was released on the 23rd with her mother. Okay. It's just Zanny that stayed over night.
SB: And the roommate is a female?

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Yes. That's what she said, roommate was a female. SB: Name Jennifer? CA: Jennifer wasn't the one in the accident she said it was Raquel. She.. Zanny ha two roommates Raquel. SB: Raquel.
CA: Raquel and Jennifer. And Raquel was the one that she said was in the accident. Again I don't know if this is all fa.. you know anything to do with the clues or not. Or you know I know it's not true because she obviously wasn't over at Jacksonville.. Or I mea over in um, Tampa. So, from my understanding on... SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: She stayed, she stayed until... She stayed through the 20th... ...the 24th . She definitely stayed the 24 th because ... According to her.
CA: Yes because of the urn, concussion she was vomiting and she started developing some issues breathing and they found out that she had a punctured urn, lung, but it wasn't fully collapsed. So, they.. she stayed even through the 25th and was released on the 26 th , which is Thursday. And urn, Jennifer had flown in this was something that she said that her roommate Jennifer had just flown in urn, from California or some.. SB: Who., whose roommate Jennifer? CA: Zanny's roommate Jennifer. Zanny has... SB: Okay that's the roommate that..
CA: Yes.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB:
....been in the accident with her?
CA: No. SB: She has two roommates. CA: She has two roommates. SB: Okay.
CA: Which I never heard that before, all of this. There was two roommates. SB: So, on the 25th, we're still in the hospital?
CA: Yes. SB: And Juliet is still with the kids at the hotel.
CA: Still with the kids at the hotel. And Casey's going back and forth you know checking on 'em, having dinner. Once in a while Juliet would go to the hospital and Casey would be the friends. But for the most part Juliet was taking care of um... SB: The two kids. CA: ..the two kids. So, I'm wondering.. I don't know. Anyway I wonder of JP's.. if Juliet and JP are the same because since he had the number, phone number. I mean these guys were all friends. So, anyway um, on the 26 th from what I remember Casey saying was that Zanny was finally released from the hospital. And Jennifer was the one going to take Zanny home. It was very late that night on the 26th . So, what they decided to do Zanny and Jennifer went to the hotel and stayed with Casey and Juliet and the girls. And then they all were coming home Friday morning, which was the 27th . And truthfully that sounded kind of reasonable to because if it was late at night why drive back. The girls been through a lot. They have a hotel room, she said it was a double room anyway and they had plenty of room. So, they all stayed there. Casey called me on the
1
2 3 4 5 6 7
27th , sometime in the afternoon said that they were back in Orlando. That Juliet and her had a meeting because her boss all that week said that they knew what was going on. Knew why Juliet and them didn't have to go to work. And she.. they were suppose to drive right from... excuse me, Tampa right directly to... SB: What excuse was.... CA: SB: ... Universal. ....Juliet using just that she was taking care of the kids while her friends ...
8 CA: Yes.
9
SB:
....were in the hospital?
10 CA: Yes.
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB:
Okay.
CA: Yes. SB: So, on the 27th they're back in Orlando?
CA: They're back in Orlando. And she said that urn, she had to go for that meeting. She had a conference call and they had to catch up on all the stuff that they had done the week that they did in Tampa that they didn't get to catch up with because she was ... SB: She was gone. Okay. CA: She was gone. And ... SB: About what, what was the... did she describe what the meeting was about? CA: It was about urn, the upcoming events between Busch Gardens and Universal. I don't know what that meant, but Casey was urn, an event planner. I mean she showed me emails of stuff back and forth from... In fact urn, Lee gave Detective Melich some emails that I had found corresponding back and forth. I think I don't know if they were in May, but I know they were April too. You know April just like
1
2 3 4 5 6 7
8
these were back and forth from um, her boss Thomas. And I'm not sure why she... SB: Were they recent emails ? I mean...
CA: Yeah. SB: CA: SB: ... how... Like.. ...time-wise like in within this period of time?
CA: No. SB: Or near it? Like I said they were either May or April. I'm talking about you know pretty much the same thing. SB: CA: SB: Same kind of stuff? Same kind of stuff, setting up events and things like that. Okay.
10 CA:
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Casey said she was doing some contract work with Hard Rock Caf um, oh events on the battle... or getting bands and things like that. And a lot of that stuff was being done over in Tampa. Urn, Casey told me that he boss' name urn, in the event planning subcontracting thing. I'm not sure if it's called... the guys have it. Urn, Lee knows what it is, Eastern Event Coordinating or something like that. So, I don't know what it is, but Thomas Frank was the name of the employer that she said or her immediate boss. And I don't know why she told Detective Melich.. In his report he said that Casey said that it was Tom
Matheson or Tom Manley and she always told me it was Tom Frank. So, I don't know if shhh... I don't know why she was you know not forthcoming on that or if he wrote it wrong or what I don't know I can't answer that question. But on the
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
27th which was that Friday, which I now know is the first day that the car was abandoned. She told me that she had met up with Jeff. Jeff was in town. SB: CA: So, what time was her meeting did she tell you? She... I think it was sometime late afternoon they got in 2, 3 or later on the afternoon and she said that urn, Jennifer was gonna watch the kids. Zanny's roommate because Zanny had the concussion couldn't watch. So, Jennifer was gonna watch the girls while Juliet and them went to the meeting. She said she was just gonna take 'em at the park. And I thought it was kind of weird that they didn't take.. didn't go home with all of this. She said no they were just gonna go ahead. And then she said that when she found out that Jeff was in town. I'm gonna remind you that Jeff was the person that urn, introduced Zanny to Casey. SB: CA: SB: CA: Introduced Zanny to Casey? Yes. Okay. That's what she stating. Urn, she had stated that urn, God over two years ago, 2 1/2 years ago when she first stated talking with Zanny. That Zanny was Jeff's girlfriend and Jeff had his son you know that was a year older then Caylee. And that Zanny had taken care of Jeff's urn, son. SB: CA: Son. And if she ever needed a baby sitter that Zanny you know could watch Caylee as well. And that started maybe within a couple of months later that Zanny was ... SB: She started using Zanny? She started using Zanny as a baby sitter. And urn, when she first talked about Zanny and Jeff they had, they lived in the same apartment complex. She said somewhere over in UCF area. Apartment complex over there. And then Zanny
CA:
moved over toward the Conway area. And then Jeff got a house over in Andover
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Lakes, which I never knew where Jeff lived. But she said he bought a house over in Andover Lakes. SB: Did she say what Jeff did?
CA: Yeah Jeff was IT person a computer geek and he worked on things like at Nickelodeon studios and Universal Studios. And Heather that person that called me the other day that worked with Casey does remember a Jeff from the IT UM, thing that Casey.. that she actually met. So, there is.. again remember I said, Jeff she had him... SB: There's lots of Jeffs that work in lots of places.
10
11 CA: Yeah another thing is she had Jeff in her cell phone as equals boyfriend.
12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA: SB:
Right. So, I'm not sure if she's using Jeff's name as a reference to the current boyfriend. Okay.
CA: You know just like Zanny for the baby sitter. Um, so when Casey called me and said Jeff was in town. Jeff was someone that Casey urn, after her and Jessie had you know cut off their engagement. Urn, just.. that happened I think in June before Caylee's first birthday. Um, she became friends with Jeff. She had met Jeff through work and everything. And I guess there was some kind of connection. And about the three months or so after her and Jessie broke up her and Jeff kind of connected. Zanny and him were just friends at that time is what she said, and they kind became... SB: So, what was she gonna do on the night of the 27th , with Jeff? CA: Get the kids together 'cause Caylee and Zachary hadn't seen each other for several months. Last I knew Jeff had urn, moved from Orlando to Jacksonville
somewhere around between November and December. Um, from this the
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
background information on Jeff um, he came from a wealthy family. He has an older sister who just had a baby urn, not too long ago. And his mom had had breast cancer. And evidently his morn was.. had.. had um, another bout with breast cancer and his mom urn, was going up to Jacksonville to some of the hospitals up; there and receiving treatments and that's why he had been staying up there. So, she wouldn't see him from Dec... probably about December on. They had kept in touch and stuff from what you know she had told me. And ... SB: From December of '07 through current times?
10 CA: Yes. And so that's when she started telling me that she was hanging out with
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Jeff. And then actually Zanny and Jeff were with her and Caylee. Zanny.. I said Zanny feels up to it? She goes, oh yeah she wanted to see Jeff 'cause they're friends, and so you know she.. they were just kind hanging out. And urn, Casey told me that she was hanging out with Jeff from that Friday night until Monday morning. I think Monday was the 30 th , 'cause that was my mom and dad's anniversary. SB: So, where was she staying? CA: Hard Rock Hotel. So, went back to Hard Rock Hotel. SB: CA: So, from the.. on the twen... stayed at... on the 27th , they stayed at Hard Rock? Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Till the 30 th , was what she told me. And then she told me on the 30th Jeff was going back to Jacksonville and.. she was coming back home, they never came back home that day. SB: She had 29 th CA: Through the 30th , which was.. which was Monday morning. All during this time she talks about ...
1
2 3 4 5 6 7
SB: Thirtieth was Monday morning where did she stay Monday morning? CA: I don't know I was at work. She told me that she was gonna come home and then later that night urn, when we were speaking she said she had to stay late at work and that Jennifer was gonna start watching Caylee because Zanny couldn't. Jennifer would urn... SB: So, Zanny was okay to take care and go party with the friends, but she wasn't to watch the kids. CA: Well they weren't really partying they were hanging out at the hotel. SB: Okay. CA: Visiting that kind of thing you know so it wasn't like she couldn't pick up the kids or do anything, but they could sit around and just... SB: Okay. CA: ... kind of catch up is what she describe it. Get the kids together, have some dinner sit around the pool and just kind of catch up. And that sounded you know like you know if one of my old friends had come in and I wanted to see I'd probably would've done the same thing. It just kind of made sense. I didn't.. it was not a red flag. Urn, but on the 30 th Casey said that she was supposed to come home, she was supposed to have a couple of days off. But she said later that day she had to take Caylee... and George you know never saw her come home. Had to take Caylee back to Zanny's house and Jennifer had to watch her because Zanny urn, you know couldn't watch her. I mean she could be there, but couldn't lift her or do physical stuff with her because of her ribs. But maintained that she was in that house with Zanny and her roommate. SB: So, she stayed late working then she went back to Zanny's house?
8
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
Yes and that happened again until we got to the 3 rd of July, July 3 rd . So, the 1 st
. 2 nd was Wednesday and Thursday was July 3rd July 3 rd stuck wasTuedy,th
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
out in my mind a lot is because I talked to Casey earlier in the day. I was off on vacation the week of the 30 th through the 4th of July, that whole week. SB: CA: And you talked to her every one of these days right? Just about. I don't think that I went.. missed a day where we didn't text or talk on the phone at some point. And she always told me that Casey all during this time the whole time she said that she was with the sitter. Always said she was with Zanny or the roommate that Caylee was. The only time she said that... SB: CA: Well except when she was with Juliet. Was with Juliet. That's right, that's what I was starting to say, the only time that Caylee wasn't with Zanny or Jennifer you know the thing was when she was with Juliet for those couple of days during that time that... That's why I'm not sure if there's another person you know that has that phone number that's suppose to be related to Juliet I don't know. SB: CA: Okay. That's connection 'cause her comment to me was, think about what I told you mom. You know I.. I.. I was trying to tell you I couldn't come home and tell you these things. You know I couldn't tell you without alarming you. So, think back now on the conversations I was, I was painting a picture for you. And I didn't know what she was... SB: Well... ....talking about. Well... Think about the events....
CA: SB: CA:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
SB: CA: SB:
(Inaudible)... ...think about we said, think about what we were... I'll tell you something right up front Cindy. She.. she's still not... she... if she had time to go to work, if she had time to see friends...
CA: SB:
But I don't think she was working during this time. I understand that, but we're talking about a week and a half two weeks period of time where her time was completely occupied. Is that what we're supposed to believe at ...
9 10
CA: SB:
She... ....this point she hasn't..
11 CA: She's told me during that time. I mean from my perception not knowing Caylee's
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
missing. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: She was always doing something with work or visiting with her friends. And the core friends she said she was visiting... SB: But now she's telling you from.. from where she's.. the conversation she had now, think back mom what I was telling you, I was trying to give you clues. CA: SB: Right. Or is.. does that mean that you're; suppose to believe now that she was actually in a position where she had no contact with anybody except by phone? They would let her talk on the phone as much as she wanted. CA: SB: CA: SB: I don't know. But she couldn't.. I don't know, I cannot... ....get out and talk to anybody ...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB:
I couldn't elaborate. ... by herself?
CA: And the thing of it is, we knew that those conversations were being taped. At least George and I knew it and Lee knew. But we didn't know they were gonna go out into the media, but we knew that anybody in the sheriff's department could look at 'em or the jail could look at 'ern. SB: And she knew that too. CA: SB: CA: She probably knew it. She... That's plastered everywhere on everything (Inaudible)... I'm sure.. I'm sure she did. Um, but if I'm looking at her and giving her he benefit of the doubt. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Um, she hasn't been... you know if I'm looking at this and she truly is in it, innocent victim in this circumstance and she's protecting... SB: CA: SB: Who? That's... that's where., where you started.. Again... ...that's what I have to ask.
CA: Yeah. SB: CA: Who is she protecting? She told us that day not all... you know during this time frame now, but she told us on our visitation our first day of visitation. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) That she's protecting this, the family from physical harm including Caylee. `Cause I asked her I said, who are you protecting? Are you protecting Caylee?

Yes. Are you protecting me? Yes. Are you protecting your dad? Yes. Are you protecting your brother? Yes. SB: Okay protecting from what? CA: And that's what I specifically asked her. I asked her are you protecting from.. our feelings being hurt from something bad happening, you know that we... you don't think we can handle it? And she said, no it's not emotional, she says, it's physical. So, I think.. I think physical means that you're physically.. I mean you're worried that someone's gonna have physical harm. SB: The girl that you describe to me earlier in the general assessment. Is a very well rounded, well adjusted intelligent young lady. CA: SB: I'm not... I' not.. What.. what she's asking you to believe at this point. And I'm just trying... throwing it out there for objectively. What she's asking you to believe at this point is, that she's acted so far out of character that she now believes that somebody has her child and is going to do harm not only to the child or her, but now to the family. But she doesn't want to tell anybody, but she wants to give us clues to go find them. Thinking that... and I'm just throwing it out there because... CA: SB: CA: Well... ....that's what she's asking us to believe. ...I'm normally a very rational you know person that would think things through before I would speak. SB: Right. Now...
CA: Okay.
SB: That's very good.

CA:
....it's very obvious that on those 911 calls I was scared to shit... shitless because...
SB: CA:
Right. ... I didn't know what was going on. And I did and said whatever I needed to do to get help.
SB: CA:
But what you did... So, she's saying anything...
SB: But what you made sense. CA: But we don't...
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23
SB: What she's doing doesn't make sense. CA: SB: CA: It doesn't make sense, but it would if... Right. ....we find Caylee. If we find Caylee and she's with this person, then isn't it gonna make sense that she was trying to... SB: If she was giving us clues that would actually lead us to this person. But all the clues that she's given have.. have led us away from... the situation. CA: But not.. not necessarily though. If she's giving us clues with that Glenwood address and he lives in Glenwood. Only the wrong.. SB: CA: SB: Well she., she gave ... ....apartment number. ....she gave you addresses that she knew existed and that she knew that she had been around and Caylee had been around, but not necessarily ... CA: SB: CA: I understand what .... ....have anything to do... ....you're saying.
24 25
SB:
2 3 4 5 6 7
....with the situation you see. Because people ...
CA: But we don't know that yet. SB: ... people that are in these positions.. we don't know that yet.
CA: We don't know that. SB: But we can't.. but what we can do is we can talk about what people generally do when they find themselves in very uncomfortable compromising positions. They take what they know they twist and turn and they spit it back out. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) So, that what we'll get... And I essentially did that with the 911 call. Because ... Right. ....the only reference I had to bring the authorities to my home... But you were bringing authorities in. I know. You were bringing authorities in. I know. I know. You weren't pushing authorities away. I understand that. That's the rational part and that's... I understand that. ....the common sense part. I understand.

SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:
SB: Okay. CA: SB: And up until this point I've never seen her not be un-rational. Right.
-11791
1 CA: And common sense. And again you don't know how you're gonna react.
2 3 4 5 6 7
SB:
No absolutely not.
CA: And... I don't know.. I mean until you walk in someone's shoes and you're in that exact situation. It's just like George and myself and Lee are all dealing with this differently. We all are in the same situation. It's.. it's our, it's our Caylee. It's you know our Casey. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) And we're all grieving, we're all handling it differently. Absolutely.
8 CA:
9
SB:
10 CA: I mean it took three or four days for George to become focused on you.. we have 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
to work. You can't just sit there in a lump and just continue to cry. I mean I did it for a while, but you can't do it. Within two days I knew my focus had to be... I had to be Caylee's spokesperson. Lee knew in his mind that he had to start organizing 'cause the beginning he was organizing all.. all the websites all getting all this coordinating, getting help reaching out to people that could help us. SB: Yeah. CA: George was back there floundering he couldn't do anything. I mean we.. we.. our family were splitting apart at that point for a few.. because we needed him to pull in with us and he was kind of bringing us down. And now he's focused on what he needs to do. So, we reversed some roles. Lee is now the liaison with the authorities and following up on his own little things, liking at phone records and trying to make sense of everything. And George has to do the focus of all of the um, med.. or not the media stuff 'cause I guess that's me. But all of the fund raising and getting the word out there you know that way. SB: Right.
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
CA:
Getting the flowers and T-shirts and stuff those are all un-chartered waters for us we're not used to all of this stuff. It's all out of...
SB: And everybody process the information differently. CA: Exactly. So, I can't say how I would react in her situation. We can sit back and say, oh I would do this, I would do that, I would do that. But how does one know until they're actually in that position? No one knows how someone is gonna handle it. The thing that I know is that Casey would do whatever and I hope you get to listen to her video tapes very soon. 'Cause I think, I'd like to actually sit down and look at 'em again as well. Because I, what I remember last Friday's conversation with her and George. A lot of emotion, a lot of wanting to help. If they'd just listen to me, mom you can.. you know follow the clues. I couldn't say because of the threats and stuff like that. Lee's conversation after that talks about getting physically thrown to the ground and having your life threatened and then you know... SB: That was on the video? Or that was in house? CA: It had.. well it wasn't in the house, that he just found this out a few days ago.
So,
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
it was either on a phone conversation or the video that has not been shown
yet. SB: Okay.
CA: Because once the media has it I'm sure they're gonna go hog wild with it and I hope that um, everybody looks at those before hand. I don't know I mean it, she describes and I'm sure Lee probably if he was you know been asking him the same questions, what he knows. I'm sure he shared that with someone. If not then he's probably trying to research it himself and I hope.. SB: Figure it out.
blel
1 2 3 4

CA:
....and I hope he's not doing it I hope he's... and Lee's very forthcoming with urn, the deputies and everything else just like we have. Again I have not shared anything like this with the detectives yet because I haven't had an opportunity to do so.
SB:
Right. Let's go back to July 2 nd . She was at Zanny's that last day and then you started to tell me about July 3ed and then I interrupted you and...
6
7 8 9
CA: SB: CA:
July 3rd... ...we've been off on the ... July 3 rd , Casey told me that the baby sitter had Caylee at the urn, like character breakfasts and things like that at the Universal park while she was working. And I told her I was gonna come up and meet her and pick her up and Caylee up. `Cause I was off that week I said, you know what, let's relieve Jennifer of her duties I want to watch her. I actually drove up to urn, Guest Services. Didn't go into Guest Services just called her and asked her I said, well I'm at Guest Services where can you meet me at? And she says, well mom I'm not there I'm in Jacksonville. And I said, what the hell are you doing in Jacksonville? I said, urn, and that was the first time she told me she was in Jacksonville was on July
3rd . Th , I
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
called Ryan because I didn't know if she was seeing Ryan or not and
3rd
Ryan told me that he had talked to Casey urn, I believe either earlier on July
or on the 2 nd about possibility that she might spend see him in Jacksonville. That urn, that she told him that she had car problems and probably wouldn't be able to. So, urn, I confirmed with him that she wasn't seeing him. And then I asked her later on when I talked to her later in the day. I said, so if you're in Jacksonville who are you seeing, and she told me Jeff. SB: What time did you go up to Guest Services?
TI DO
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
Between 2:30 and 3 o'clock, but I didn't check in at Guest Services 'cause I called Casey from outside. But I have a receipt.
SB:
But you remember(Inaudible)
CA: But I have a receipt somewhere in my car or somewhere at home 'cause I paid ten dollars to park in the Universal parking. SB: Okay. CA: So, I wasted ten dollars to go up there, which is no big deal. But you know it was in the afternoon. It was the... I probably start driving up there around 2 and got there around 2:30 and by the time I walked from the parking lot over to Guest Services it was a good at least 15 to 20 minutes. SB: Fifteen more minutes.
CA: Oh easy. SB: CA: So, by 2:30, 3 o'clock? Yeah that's what I'm saying...
SB: Somewhere around there. CA: ....between 2:30 and 3 o'clock I called her from there and that's when she said, well morn I'm not there. And I said, then why'd you tell me you were and she says, well I just.. she.. she couldn't give me a good answer. She just said well urn, I actually... She backtracked then and said that she was actually with Jeff all this time, from the 30 th on. She's.. says, well I actually went with Jeff urn, on the 30th . And again I know why she... you know I couldn't see her 'cause she didn't have the car and she didn't have Caylee. Because the car was towed.. or was at AMSCOT... SB: Was at AMSCOT.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
....from the 27th , and I guess it got towed on the 29 th I think 'cause it was there the 97 th ,
^ 3 th
and the
90th .
SB: From the 30th on she was with Jeff? CA: That's what she says. SB: CA: In Jacksonville or just with Jeff? She said in, she said in Jacksonville.
SB: Okay. CA: I'm not sure you know why she's making the Jacksonville reference. But while she was there she said that um, she was with Jeff in Jacksonville and Caylee was with... I said, well what are you guys doing? Well we're going to Target, we're running errands. I said, well who has Caylee, she says, Jeff's mom. That's why I'm wondering if somewhere between the 30 th and this time that urn, Ricardo was with his mom. SB: Okay. CA: Because that's when she.. that's the first time she changed who was watching Caylee. SB: But Jeff's mom had been sick.
CA: That's what she said. SB: Okay. CA: That she was back for cancer treatments. And she was, she was doing okay, but she was back for urn, for some cancer treatments. And had been up there since the beginning of the year. But she was doing fine. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: And that she was actually probably gonna stay there because urn, she had met
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
someone or something up there. Casey said that her mom Jeff's morn had met someone up there and she was probably gonna stay. SB: Alright how about July 4th ? She.. did she tell you that she was gonna stay there on the 3rd in Jacksonville? CA: Well, here's where we get to... Yeah she said she was gonna stay on the 3 rd , she said they'd probably wouldn't come until urn, either urn, Saturday, which was the 4th or Sunday. And Saturday was the day she told me sometime during the day later in the day that, well they were urn.. SB: The 4th was a Friday. CA: Was the 4th a Friday? Okay it was a Friday. SB: Yeah I'm pretty sure.
CA: Okay, they were spending the day then as the 4 th of July with Jeff and his sister and Caylee was spending the day with urn, Jeff's family and she was with them as well. It was Saturday then which must've been the 5 th is when Casey's car .. she said Jeff took her car to the shop. And she doesn't know where it went. SB: CA: So, on the 4th .. she tells you... Did you talk to her on the 4 th ? I think so. I'm pretty sure I did. Because we thought she was coming back so hat we could take Caylee for fireworks. And then she said that... I think the only day I didn't talk to her... Wait a minute. Hm, trying to think now there was one day I know I didn't talk to her. I don't think it was yet I think it was the next week that might've been the day I didn't actually speak with her. SB: CA: Okay. So, she stayed in Jacksonville on the 4 th on the 5th? Urn, they were still in Jacksonville and she said that Jeff had taken her car to get urn, the oil changed get the breaks done and she said that urn...
110
SB: 'Cause she knew that needed to be done?

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
CA: Yeah and Jeff did it as a favor to her tnnk car to get it fixed. And took it to one of his mechanics. Which we know that's not true because the car was... SB: The car was in towing. CA: ... now in the towing place. But that just ... gives her more alibi why she wasn't able to come home and why Caylee wasn't there is what you know basically... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I've gathered now. She maintained that her car was not ready all the way till Thursday of the following week. So, every day there was an excuse why she couldn't come home because the car wasn't ready. So, whatever Thursday was of the following week. So, I guess if we add 3 and 7 that's the 10 th? SB: CA: July
6th .. 4th,
11
12 13
yeah 'cause the

5th 0 6th
3 rd
was a, was a Thursday. Yeah.

7th ...
Yeah
was Sunday,
14 SB: The 10th was Thursday

15 16
CA: SB: CA:
Okay that's about right. July

6th
through the 1 0th ?
17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Right. So, here we go. So, the Friday the 11 th is the only day I didn't speak to Casey the entire day.
SB:
CA:
And all these days in Jack... I didn't call her. With, you... I.. I didn't call her.
SB: CA:
SB: On these days you did though? CA: Yeah every... day I talked to SB: You talked to her.
"I
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB: CA:
...her either by text whatever. I... So, the excuse not coming home? Yeah. You know because the car wasn't ready. So, I didn't call her urn, specifically on the 11 th . When I talked to her on the 10 th , she said that she finally got her car back and that they were gonna come home on Saturday. And she said the reason they weren't gonna come home on the 11 th , is because Jeff had decided to come back home. He was leaving his mom's house you know. Mom with.. at the house. And Jeff was gonna come back with Zachary on that Saturday the 12 th . And she said Jeff wanted to follow Casey and Caylee home make sure they got home okay. So, she was holding off coming home until the 12th So, I didn't even bother calling her on the 11 th . I get a phone call from Casey late in the afternoon gosh evening maybe 9 o'clock and she goes, you haven't called me today, how come you check in every day. And I said, what's the point Case? You're not coming home today what's the point of talking to you, you're with Jeff and his mom and his family. You said you're coming home tomorrow. You know so she.. she reached out to me on the 11 th . And I had pretty much reached out to her almost every day and she would return my call or text me back. So, I may not have had contact with her all the time. There was always a reason why I couldn't talk to Caylee 'cause Caylee was with.. You know if I reached Casey by phone she was at Target with urn, Jeff and Caylee was Jeff's mom or at his sister's and they were you know doing stuff. They were going swimming, they were doing whatever.
SB: CA: SB:
Stuff that she would want you to think that was good? Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Okay.
1 CA: Not to make me worry not to throw a red flag up.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: Yeah. CA: Because if I thought that there was anything wrong obviously you know how I would react. SB: You'd have been up there. CA: SB: CA: I'd been up there in a heartbeat. Yeah. Just like you went to Universal. Just like I went to Universal. Just like I called the police department when I found Casey and Caylee wasn't with her. I mean I had no reason not to believe Casey up until that point. No reason. Everything she stated sound rational. Sound reasonable. SB: When I ask you this question would you characterize her behavior outside of being reasonable and rational under normal circumstances. Was it within her character or was it out of character for her... CA: Well I could tell...
SB: The fact that you didn't get to see Caylee for almost a month? CA: That was out of character and we talked about it and it. And at some point she did tell me she says, well mom gonna have to get used to her eventually not seeing her on a daily basis anyway. Because if you know... 'Cause Casey and I for a few months had talked about prior to all this. You know one of these days you're gonna get a... you know you're gonna move out you're gonna get an apartment. She's 22 year old, she's 22 years old. Urn, and you know that was a normal thing. I'd love to keep them there till Caylee's 18 years old being selfish. I'd love to have Lee still be at home. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: You know I mean it's just.. SB: Sometimes right? CA: No I mean.. you know you like to have your family close. I wish I had a bigger house and I just had a kids' suite or something like that. But it's.. it's nice to have your family close to you. Um, so what her statements were is that, and she sounded looking back now like I said, I could've said there was a lot of red flags that I could've looking in hindsight. SB: Yeah. CA: Would've wished I would've followed up on. But didn't have a gut really wrenching feeling that something was really totally wrong. I just was upset because I was disappointed, I was selfish because I wanted to see Caylee. I got to talk to Casey everyday. I love to see my daughter everyday, but I wanted a hug from Caylee and I wanted to see those blue eyes and ... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... sing our songs and go outside and play and I was off a weeks' vacation thinking that I was gonna spend you know time.. SB: The time with Caylee. CA: ...with Caylee. And that didn't happen. So, yes I was disappointed. And I told Casey that I thought you know even though I understood what she needed to do. She needed to be reconnect. She told me that her and Jeff were talking about possibly moving in together. Possibly becoming a family because what her and Jeff's relationship before was. She told me that Jeff had always wanted to find a mom for Zach. Zach's mom had passed away. They weren't together. Jeff and.. Jeff um, Jeff and his urn, Zach's mother were never married. And that his urn,
'110 1
Zach's mom died when he was a year old so his.. Jeff's mother helped him raise
2 3 4 5
Zach. You know he hp.. became mommy and daddy all at once. SB: Yeah. CA: You know he would see his son, but never had him fulltime or anything like that. And there was never any you know urn, any.. they never got married or were engaged or anything like that. So, um...
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: Did you know most of her boyfriends since she grew up? CA: No, not really I know a lot of. There was only a few the high school ones we made a point of because they weren't allowed to go out. SB: Rights.. that's.. right.
CA: My dad was the same way. He didn't know everybody I dated after high school. SB: Right.
CA: Um, so I didn't bring everybody home. SB: Okay. CA: And there was a lot of guys that I dated that you know I just dated I didn't you know dated 'em for a month or a couple weeks and realized that you know wasn't anything other then maybe just a friendship or whatever. And you know that's just the way when you're 18, 19, 20, 22. She didn't bring too many people in to her life at home because of Caylee I think. You know relationships. Urn, I know she had Caylee exposed to her friends because you know they.. she did go urn, you know all her friends knew Caylee. So, I know that you know she took Caylee places. But all her friends... SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
11 0%
CA:
... maintain that she put Caylee first and maintain that you know whenever they
were around um, even if Casey stopped by and there was a party going nn. That
2 3
4 5
she kept Caylee away from people drinking and things like that so. SB: So, what happens on the 12 th? CA: On the 12th like I said, I didn't call her. I figured what's the point she's gonna call, you know... SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: No, on the 11 th . ...she's gonna. On the 11 th ... You didn't call. No. She called you at nighttime.

12 13 14 15

16
17 18 19
CA: Was the 12 th a Saturday? SB: CA: SB: ..Thursday is the 10th . Okay. So, the 12th . Eleventh is ...
20 21
22 23
CA: Okay so she.. SB: CA: SB: ....Friday. ... didn't come home. And... Did you call her?
24 25
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
We talked I'm sure at some point during the day. And you know I was getting a
little irritated with her. But the

Zanny's mo,. SB: CA: Jeff's.
excuse was, well you
know urn, Zanny's urn, or not
Jeff's mom urn, you know we have an opportunity to go out on the boat. Jeff's mom you know her.. she.. she wants to take us out to breakfast. We're gonna come home maybe on Sunday. So, every day there was another excuse not to come home. And on Sunday it was Jeff's moms' relationship with her, the person that she met there. They were talking about getting married. You know and they you know.. you know wanted to share this information with family and stuff you know.
SB: CA:
She needed to stay for that? She needed to stay for that because she wanted to come back when Jeff and Zach were coming back into town is what she said. Well she needed to stay for that because she still didn't have her car, she still didn't have her daughter. So..
SB: CA:
And she still wasn't there? She still was not there. Um, on... the 13 th was Sunday. So, Monday was the 14th .
SB:
Outside of what you know now about her having lied to you. And made all this up. Her behavior on the phone was it, wasn't normal Casey?
CA:
No it wasn't normal Casey. She got irritated with me for checking up on her. She got irritated a little bit more because some days she almost sound like, she didn't have time to talk to me and it was never the case before. She cut me short and I don't know if it was because... and she always acted like she was somewhere. She goes, mom I'm here, I'm there I'm whatever. And, and I don't
1
2
3
have time to call you back. And that was never like Casey you know urn, looking back she.. whenever I called her she made time even if she said she was gonna call me back in a minute. She called me back in a minute she made time for me. Seem like she didn't make time for me so I don't know if she was putting.. doing that deliberately 'cause she just was running out of urn, excuses why I couldn't talk to Caylee and why they couldn't come home or what. I mean looking back it's probably because she was running out of excuses you know. Um, I didn't think that before I just thought the girl was having fun she was with Zeff.. Jeff. They were having fun, they were going out to eat. Um, they were going on the boat. They were you know taking the kids to the park. It was always

10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
something. SB: CA: SB: Okay. So... Alright so the 13 th is a Sunday.
CA: Was a Sunday and again I thought they were ... SB: She wants to come home... CA: SB: ....coming home. ...when Jeff does.
CA: And yeah and that didn't happen on the 13th . SB: Okay. CA: So, the 14th's pretty much the same thing. On the 13 th , I was out in my front yard, I noticed the urn, something on my front door. And that's when we saw the notice. Actually had been delivered on the 11 th , but we don't up until this week or last two weeks we haven't used our front door unless someone would come to the house. 'Cause we always go in and out of our garage.
1 11
SB:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
The side or the back door (Inaudible)... Yeah the garage. You know. So, she's still in Jacksonville on the 14 th? She's still in Jacksonville from what she said on the 14 th . And you guys notice ... We got a notice.. we found the notice that was delivered to our hone on the 1 1 th , we found it on.. I found it on he door on the 13 th .
CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:
SB: CA:
Four... fourteenth. No I found it on the 13 th , on Sunday. Okay. But it just said that there was a registered letter at the post office for us. Well naturally we couldn't go on Sunday to pick it up. Monday on the 14 th , George was starting a new job. Didn't have an opportunity to go to the post office. And it was way out of my way where it was at was on the other side you know it was opposite direction for me to go to work. And during the time frame we could pick it up, I couldn't. So, on the morning..
10 SB:
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
SB: CA: SB:

CA:
She still in Jacksonville on the ... She's still ... .....14th? ...on the 14th in Jacksonville and I can't remember what excuse she said they just weren't ready, he wasn't ready to come home something come up. So...
SB: CA:
Right. ...the 15th George goes and picks up the letter from the post office. The registered letter. I get a call from him somewhere between 12 and 12:30 somewhere around there. Saying, guess what that registered letter's for and I
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
said, what? He said, it's a tow company. And I said, what do you mean, he said, Casey's car's been at this Johnson's Tow Company since And I'm going, oh my God! So, I hurried up and left Casey a voice message. I think we even actually spoke. I said, obviously you're not in Jacksonville because the car's in Orlando. You need to you know you need to call me. Urn, so on the 15 th , you know urn, we went down they wouldn't let, they wouldn't release the car to George. Because the car was in both of our names, the title. So, we had to both be present. I had to stop and get five hundred dollars cash out of my ATM `cause they wouldn't take a check or a debit card to go pick up this car that had been sitting there.. all this time. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: So, on the 16th?
-th, No the 15th , the day that I called 911. The I o that was a Tuesday.
That's the day that you ... That's the day we found the car. And the day you found? Casey. Okay. And that's the day.. So, that's when all.. ..that's when everything... ... rest from there.. ....unraveled. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) From that point on from the 15 th , on is when everything... Yeah. ....was reported?
1113
CA:
From the 15th on is from everything, once... once I... when we got the car like I said we put it back at... we took it back home. George went on to work, I made him go to work he wanted to stay home. I said, no what are you gonna do? I'm waiting for Casey to call me back. I let her know that I know she's in Orlando I'm gonna give her an opportunity to tell me what the hell's going on. I actually went back to work for an hour or two. And then when I got home you know I hadn't heard from Casey so, when I found Amy's number she was the first person I reached out with. 'Cause I thought I'm... I don't know why because I just had some gut feeling to call Amy because I saw her number on that. Because when I saw Casey's bag on the front seat and Amy's resume' was under there. It just started like, why is that there? So, I went ahead and called Amy and then when she knew where Casey was it was like....
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB:
Now getting back to Amy. On that ride to go meet with Casey, she told you that she lent her car to Casey for a week?
CA: SB: CA:
Yes because her car was in the shop. And what time frame was that? Was that through the 8 th through the 15th? I'm thinking it was the time because my understanding from what Amy says I'm assuming it was from the 8 th .. the 8th through the 15th from her when she was taken to the airport. Because she said she dropped her off at the airport and she picked her back up at...
SB: CA: SB: CA: SB:
She told you that Casey dropped her off and Casey picked her back up? Casey picked her back up. Yep. And you don't know what kind of car that was that she was driving? I never.. I have never seen um... Amy's car.
CA:
....Amy's car. But Amy told me that she had just gotten a new car that her dad got her. Because we actually started talking urn, 'cause she brought up the fact that urn, when we were talking about Casey and I told her I said, Amy I don't know what's going on. I said, did Casey say anything from you today and she says, no. I said did act different and she said, no. I said well, I want you to know Casey's been telling me she's been in Jacksonville for the last week. And she.. she looked like that was news to her. She looked panicked and I said, Amy, I said I have... I have a feeling there's something wrong because you know the car... I told her, I told her the story. I said, we just found the car today it had been in the impound you know or at this towing company for a um, over a week. And obviously if the car's in Orlando then Casey has to be in Orlando and you know. And I said, now my goal is to find Caylee. And urn, so we were just chitchatting I said, did she say anything strange to you or anything? She said, no urn, and I said, did you see Caylee today? And she said, no. And you know we.. we talked a little bit about anything, I said, urn, why did you let her use your car? She goes 'cause I trust in Casey. I said, you trusted Casey to use your car?
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18
SB: CA:
Why.. why did Casey say she needed a car? I asked her that, I said, why did you give Casey your car? She said because she told me that her car was in the shop 'cause she needed transportation. I said, so you let her use your car, I said yes.. she said, yes. I said well why did you do that? She goes because I trusted her and she said she needed the car she's my friend so I let her borrow my car.
19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB:
She wasn't gonna be using it anyway 'cause she was gone right?
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
She was gone. This is what Amy said. And I think that speaks pretty highly if Amy voluntarily says that she's allowing Casey to use her car. Now I don't know of anybody else...
SB:
Speaks highly, but it also says that, it also says.. tells us that Casey was lying to her friends as well.
CA: SB: CA: SB:
Does it or does Amy know where Casey's car was? One or the other. Exactly. Right. So, she... But Amy... but Amy was very willing to let you know something that ... Yes. ....could be potentially damning to somebody she was... I know. ...in a... If they were in collusion with ach other I don't know. ...why would she say no Casey's been in my car for the last week? I don't know. With.. without thinking ahead of time that this would get Again... ...somebody in trouble? Well, same thing with Casey leaving the car. She left it at AMSCOT and that could get her in trouble. She had every opportunity to pick it up and get rid of the car. So, again I'm not sure, I'm not in their heads I don't know. But...
10 CA: 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:
SB:
Right.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
CA:
... it doesn't... there's something that's not right with all of this. Absolutely.
CA: And urn, I asked her you know I said, by the way and I asked her about that return address thing. And that's when she brought up that urn, and I said... SB: CA: SB: Casey had told her that... Yes, and she... ....you guys were having trouble and she was gonna be able to move in?
CA: Yes and she said, because of Casey I'm homeless. And I said what do you mean by that? And she says well because I gave up my apartment and now I'm.. I'm.. my roommate, I'm.. I'm living with Ricardo. And I said, how long have you been doing that? She said, since beginning of June. That they've been
lo 11
12 13 14 15 16 17
roommates. Her and Ricardo were roommates. SB: CA: Okay. And I didn't think anything other then that except to tell her I'm so sorry I can't imagine why she would say that I was moving out, when clearly I'm not moving out and I have no intentions, we never even talked about it. So, again I'm not sure, you know I'm not sure you know if Amy stating that for a reason or what. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: I.. I think and this is just me. I think it's safe to presume. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) If Casey's willing to lie to your guys. That's she probably willing to lie... She's probably willing to lie to her friends too. Right. Because the people that are gonna affect her life the most we know she's lied to.
18
19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Okay.
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
And we'll talk to the friends obviously. Right. We're not just gonna ... Right. ....assume it, but logic would put us if she's gonna lie to you guys. Right. And tell stories then she's gonna ell stories to her friends to, to make sure that what she wants is what's happening. You know and I know that's a hard way to look at things. 'Cause she, she didn't want you to know what was going on.
CA: No. So, she told the lies. And she doesn't want other people to know what's going on. So, she's telling them lies too. CA: SB: Well, the thing ... The question is, what's going on? (chuckle)
11 SB:
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: What's going on that's the thing. And obviously she knew she couldn't go to Annie and stay with Annie. She couldn't go to a certain other people... SB: Those people know her. CA: SB: ....because they know her. That's right.
CA: And urn, but I'm wondering how well Amy knows her. I wouldn't allow my.. a friend that I just met have my car for a week. I'm not sure I would let a friend that I've known for years have my car for a week. SB: CA: True. I'm not really sure I would do that and I haven't collaborated that, with Casey. Asked her if that's all true anyway I haven't asked her that.
SB:
Right, right. So, I don't even know if, if that's true. I didn't ask Casey about addre s s change and what Amy stated. I never had that opportunity to do so. I didn't during the time period of time that she was at the house from when they took her all night and into the early morning. Until they took her back down to.. for questioning at the sheriff's department. So, that never came up and I didn't qualify any of those questions with her in her phone interview. Urn, we were asking her other issues about other people because again I had no reason to think anything ...
CA:
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA:
About that. ...about these guys until last night when I started thinking about things. And again, if I give her reasonable doubt and the benefit of the doubt. I mean presumes innocent and reasonable doubt, I have to listen and think about what's she telling me and make sense of this. And I would want someone else to give that benefit. Again..
SB: Before we have to what you have to do when you talk about giving people the benefit of the doubt. CA: If they're lying..
SB: You have to do, you have to do it objectively. Okay and the benefit of the doubt with the amount of benefit of the doubt that you give somebody. It's on a spectrum and it starts right in the middle. Okay and we.. we assume and presume the people are innocent. CA: Okay. SB: CA: So, that pushes it over here. But ...
SB: And then when we start doing this and chipping away.
1 CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
I understand.
SB: Not on purpose. CA: I understand.
SB: But based on what we find out. CA: But if we had reports Casey not being urn, always putting Caylee's best interest first. SB: CA: SB: Those things.. those things go this way. Well that's what I'm saying. But they put it back in there.
CA: But I mean if there was a red flag anytime before I'd be right with you guys on saying that. That I think that you know or anybody else that knows Casey would think that there could be a possibility. SB: When you look back now and there were, you didn't know about it. CA: Okay. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: The fact was that she'd been... But are they... ...telling you for over a year she was working ... ... but are... ... and she wasn't.
CA: But are they reliable resources or someone that has somebody... SB: CA: SB: Well the, the fact that she told you that she working. But... That takes the lies ..
CA: But has anybody checked... SB: ... back..
TW 0
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7
....out these companies yet? I.. I can't tell you yes or no.
SB:
CA: Okay there you go. SB: But I can tell you that the last communication you had from her.
CA: There you go because... SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: And look (Inaudible) ....these are not Universal Studio... not saying that... Exactly. ... they did or didn't. Right. Because I don't know we didn't talk about that today. But what I can say is the last communication you had with them was April 18 th . CA: Right.
8
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: We'll talk to Lee and see if there was some more recent stuff and if they have your computer ... CA: SB: I... ....they'll have those records to show...
CA: Right and I gave, I gave Lee those ones he gave those to Detective Melich, that had Thomas Frank's name on there and Julie Lewis' name on there. SB: Right.
CA: And Casey's name on these emails. SB: CA: SB: And all those people will be interviewed. Right. If.. if we didn't do that, that would be dereliction of our duty
CA: SB:
Right. And so I'm not saying that it hasn't been done. Right. What I'm saying is I don't know that it's been done yet.
3 4 5
CA: SB:
CA: Right. Well, when I found those I gave them to Lee to give to the detectives. Again we're giving as much information as we can to them.
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
SB: CA: SB:
And it's all, that's all you can do. Right. But you have to understand why they get things. It's not just the laws.
CA: Well I think if we would've had some of that the first 24/48 hours, that kind of stuff could've been cleared up. And if these people do exist then it could've collaborated some of her stories a little bit more. I don't know why exactly Casey.. SB: We, well we can.. what I can say is that my personal feeling is, that if this stuff has been know to Orange County. That they probably checked on it. CA: I can guarantee you they have, they have not seen that. So, the stuff with share from... SB: CA: SB: CA: Okay so they don't have it. ..from...,. They don't have that one. Okay. Well then this is something that they can go check on. Right.
SB: This is something they can do. That doesn't mean if I go in and check and they're gonna verify any of this. CA: Right, I understand that.
SB: Okay.
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
I understand that.
SE: And I'm gonna want you to.. CA: I know what you're saying. SB: Yeah. CA: I know what you're saying it could be all fabricated. But again if we're looking at Casey's track record. Okay, she maybe a liar, but she's not a murderer. She may lie to protect her daughter, but she's not gonna, she's not gonna be a party to someone. She's not gonna allow someone to hurt her daughter. So, if we're looking at Casey as s person, re... SB: CA: So... ....relationship with her daughter.
10 11
12 13
14
SB: Well let me ask you this question. Should we then plan on Casey coming forward at the end of August 9th ? CA: SB: CA: SB: I don't know. And saying... I don't know. ... because... because what you're presenting to me is, that she's waiting until the
9th
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
the 55 days are up.
CA:
I'm not saying, I think that's what she... when she first put that in.. I'm not sure when she made Timer 55.
SB:
Okay.
CA: She may have made that right when she first .. Caylee was first missing. Or she may have made that um, the 16 th the morning of the 16th , when she actually came back in the computer. When she actually had been in and out of the house during this period...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
SB: CA: SB: CA:
If they have your computer... .... Of time. ..they'll be able to tell when changed that. Right, exactly.
SB: What time. CA: And that's something I did not know about Timer 55 and just till a couple of days ago. Lee found that out and Lee says he's been sharing stuff with the detectives. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Okay. So, they... So... ... they probably know that. ....I would hope that they would know that. Yeah. And, and what I'm trying to point out is, I understand how you feel. What we need to focus on is, is first of all increasing your trust with Orange County. CA: SB: CA: Right. Okay. It, it has to be there because if it's not it's detrimental... Well... ...to Caylee. I could care less about you, I could care less about ... I understand. ... Casey. My whole thing, I don't care about.. It's Caylee. ....me. I don't care what the media thinks about.. I didn't mean to sound rude when I said that. No, and I don't care it is all about Caylee.
17 SB:
18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA:
SB: Yeah.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
Everything's all about Caylee. And truthfully Casey's an adult she can take care of herself, Caylee's not.
SB: CA:
Right. And our focus George's, Lee's and mine is to bring Caylee home and to find.. actively look for her and help in anyway. But we also need, we're going through a lot and we need some reassurance from the Orange County Sheriff's Department. That they are actually following through because all we see in the media and all we see in the court system is that they've already made their mind up that Caylee is ..
Decisions ... ...not... ... that are made... ... that she is not.... ....in Court. ....alive. And that means they're not looking for her in my eyes. No what that means is, legal decisions and judicial decisions are made based on the facts that are presented and only the facts that are presented in each individual hearing. And the judges chooses to just ... believe me there's plenty of times that that judge has equally pissed off the Orange County Sheriff's Office with his decisions I guarantee you.
CA:
I understand, he's got a reputation of being a hard ass in the community. I have attorney friends and...
SB: CA: SB:
So... ... people in the community that know.. what you, what you have to understand ...
CA:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
....Strickland's
...that the decisions don't go your way and it makes you mad. It makes me mad
SB:.
when they don't go my way... CA: SB: Well... ...when I feel something.
CA: Here's the thing though, you have two misdemeanors and a third de... SB: CA: SB: I am by no means saying the ... ...five hundred thousand... ...decision was... ....dollars is ridiculous. People have said in on national TV that are in this you know arena that... SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ...our judges and ... I know, I know. ...or lawyers that sai this is rid... They'll say anything they have to say on TV to make sure there's no ...
10 CA: 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: But you know what. SB: CA: (Inaudible)... on TV. The attorneys here locally said it should be seventy-five hundred dollars to ten thousand dollars maximum for the charges that she is. Ten thousand ... SB: CA: Right. ... dollars. So, what do.. what's this message? What's this message to the public? What's this message to everybody? That's.. SB: I can't.. I cannot ...
CA: She might as well not even had a...
-nab

3
SB: A bond. CA: ... a bond. And the other thing was, did you get to see any of the tapes? I felt like I was on trial that day. We felt like it was a trial. Everybody in the media says it looks like a trial. Anybody that looked at it look... acted like it.. said it looked like a trial. SB: CA: SB: What do you mean it like.. Even the judge said... ... looked like a trial?
4 5 6 7 8 9
CA: That this is looking more like a pre-trial hearing or you know becoming to look like trial.
10
11 SB: You mean in the media?

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
No actually in the courtroom that day for her bond hearing. It looked like a pretrial. It looked like you now a court preceding for a trial and not a bond hearing.
Because of all the attention and what was going on. Because of all the attention and what was going on and all of that. That can't be controlled. It can be controlled. By... It really can be controlled by the prosecutor and by what Orange County's putting out there.
SB:
Okay I'm not saying that.. that the information...
CA: And what Judge Strick.. Strickland allowed them to say or do. He gave them a lot of leeway that he, I don't think he should've done. SB: I.. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna ever venture into...
ai
CA: I know. 0 ci ,.)u. ... a judicial process. I understand. And say a judge did or didn't do his job.
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: SB:
CA: I know. SB: CA: SB: CA: 'Cause that would be.. But I mean it just... ... terribly... ...like he's already made his mind.. he made his mind up. That he was, he was gonna go with ... SB: And we can't change that. CA: I know we can't. SB: What we have to do is we have to go forward from here. CA: But the perception in the public and the media is what's destroying our search for Caylee. SB: CA: SB: No. Yeah it is. No, no because what we have to do is, we, you, us, have to focus our attention in the media on Caylee and not answer those questions. And not denigrate because the more we denigrate èm the more we feed into that frenzy. The more we look at, at whoever the reporter might be and say, God damnit you're not doing your job! If you want to find Caylee help me find Caylee and quit doing all this other shit. Guess what's gonna get splashed all over the media?
Some
angry grandmother or some angry FBI agent saying, God damnit you're not doing your job! Rather then, you know today I'm really not gonna answer those
11a?

questions. I'm gonna beg you to please plaster my granddaughter's face all over your station. CA: SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) I'm not gonna go there with you anymore. It hasn't helped me to this point so I don't... I need to shift gears. CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
SB: We need to shift gears. CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
SB: And that's something that has to happen. CA: SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Um, we're not going to change the monster that the media is. They have a job to do. They can't help it they were born that way. Whatever excuse you want to give 'em. You know that.. that.. that's.. that's the nature of that beast. CA: SB: CA: SB: Yeah it's big .... Um.. ... beast to. And it is and the, and they have the (Inaudible)... public. Because everybody and they're brother reads the newspaper and watches TV. CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
SB: And what is presented to them is the gospel you know as they know it. And they don't care to hear anything else. So, what we have to do is we have to, to shift that gospel and make it what we need to make it. Now I'm not saying that's gonna be easy process. The other thing that has to happen is, regardless of our differences until Caylee is found. We have to work together.

CA: Well, then comments like, this is a waste of the sheriff's department time. Or we wasted three days. They.. SB: That's what Wanda.. CA: SB: It can't even.. ....said she heard.
CA: No, they told my son that they wasted a week on this tip from the airport. Melich or Allen Lee will tell you which one said that we wasted a lot of effort on that.. SB: CA: SB: CA: And, and... ....Orlando tip. The fact.. Don't say wasted. Don't say that...
SB: Okay. CA: SB: ....to the family. I'm not saying that the choice of words..
CA: You know those are inflammatory words. SB: CA: SB: I'm not saying that the choice of words has been the best on anybody's part. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Because we all get frustrated.
CA: Absolutely. SB: And I will tell you and Josh will tell you. If you go back and talk to him again. We spent the greater majority of the time in Trenton's case, in efforts that were absolutely in unquestionably fruitless and we knew it from the beginning. And that's the part that gets frustrating. That's when you start hearing the words, this is wasting our time. CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
1 SB:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Because quite frankly it is. I can you that I went to Georgia and interviewed John Cooey. And when I got done interviewing him the first time I said, well good thing this is over that was a waste of time let's go. Well low and behold we were wrong.
CA:
SB: You know and if we hadn't followed through with the things that we followed through with, we wouldn't have found out until later on. CA: Right. Right.
SB: You know so good work even though we felt like it was terrible work. Right.
10 CA:
11 SB: And we were wasting our time, turned out to be good.

12 13 14 15 16 17

CA: SB: CA:
Right. That's why they still waste their time and they go do it. Right.
SB: Because you never know. CA: Right.
SB: You never know. The one that you throw to the side and say, I'm not gonna do. Might be the one that, that turns out. So, even though you hear that kind of stuff, recognize that there are times when you go home at night. And you say to yourself, these people don't know what the hell they're doing. Well, that may be true. But the fact of the matter is that they know better then most people do. CA: SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) How to do it. And, and they're trying their best. Nobody I can guarantee you that nobody at the Orange County Sheriffs Office wants to have a missing two year old girl.

CA: I know. SB: Put in their lap. It is the most terrible feeling every time it happens to any agency. They're like.. the first reaction is, oh my God here we go again. CA: SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) How did it happen to us this time? Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
SB: And you're sitting at home saying, oh my God this only happens to other people. CA: Right.
SB: The same reaction. The problem is that, that we expect them to be the heroes and they expect you to be the hero. And they expect Casey to come forward and they.. CA: Yeah. SB: CA: And the expectations are such that, that nobody... I know. It..
SB: ...nobody wants to do everything. CA: Everybody wants it to be solved yesterday. SB: Absolutely.
CA: Everyone wants a nice neat little package. They want it to be boom, boom, boom, here's where you go. And this if everybody's.. my son said that, if your job was easy you'd be getting paid minimum wage is what he told the Sheriff's .. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ....Department.

But there's some skill to it. You know a lot of thinking to it. There's a lot of crap that you have to take. Grant it, nurses and cops don't get paid what they're worth.
SB: Hum. CA: You know, I don't get paid what I'm worth as a nurse. And urn.. SB: CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: Right. ...firemen don't get paid what they're... I think they.. ...worth. And.. Teachers don't get paid what they're worth. No. So, I mean I can say that if we got paid with what we're worth.

CA: Well we asked them at least.. we don't expect them... my husband would like it everyday ... SB: CA: Right. But I said that's unrealistic. Lee and I feel that even every other day that someone it doesn't have to be Melich it doesn't have to be Allen. But someone from ... SB: Someone calls and... ..from their department. ....and let's you know what's going on.

CA: Calls and gives us some reassurance. They were doing that on a daily basis either Melich or Alien was doing it. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) It stopped on Saturday a week ago Saturday, not this last one. And then all of a sudden you know it was like coming in. And then I also got threatened I don't know if you know this. I got threatened by Melich. I was very upset. Monday night they came to the house. Last Monday not this, not two days ago. When they came... SB: A week ago this past. CA: Right, just before the bond hearing, the night before the bond hearing. When he came and brought my urn, asked me about my camera. Whether or not I could be mistaken about the 8 th . 'Cause like I said in the beginning, I truly thought it was the 8th . Didn't even think about Father's Day urn, and what day it was. Urn, and I said possibly. I said, I'll know in a heartbeat I can call my mom. Well, I
1 2 3 4
5 6
called my mom it was, they were at our house it was after 7:30 between 7:30 and 8 o'clock. And I tried calling my mom while they were there and my morn usually gets home from the my dad's nursing home from about anytime from 6, 6:30. She usually eats a little bit and then she sits on the internet emailing her sister. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) `Cause she has no one to talk to. The cat can't talk to her so she emails her sister. And they sit for an hour and write letters to each other. And my mom usually will print her letter out and then she'll go on to be. 'Cause she gets up at 4 in the morning every day. SB: Yeah. So, that she's over there when he gets up in the morning at 7 she gets him up helps him, them get him around. She shaves him, she's there for his breakfast. I mean this has been her routine for almost two years now. And so I knew when I couldn't get 'em I said, listen I'll know in the morning I'll call you in the morning I'll find out from my mom. Well I was down at urn, one of the studios doing an early like the Today Show or something like that. And George gets a call from Carrie one of the girls from the Sheriff's Department. And wants to know if I had a chance.. or wanted to know if urn, I can give 'em my dad's name. And I said no I'm gonna call my mom 'cause I... I had to sneak out early Thursday morning after everything went down on Wednesday. You know with the media and everything that Casey had become.... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ... arrested. I snuck out 'cause the media was camped out our door that night. I snuck out at 4 in the morning Lee and I did. I mean he came to get me with his lights off and I snuck out so that I could go to Mt Dora. I had called the nursing

home and said, don't let.. don't turn the TV on in my dad's room. Because he watches the news everyday. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)

CA: He can't speak he's a aphasic. But he can, he knows what's going on. SB: He comprehends. He knows what's going on. CA: He comprehends, yes. And um, I said we're get up there and I said if my mom gets here before we get there said, please call ahead Dr. Blake her family doctor and get a sedative ordered so that you guys can give it just in case. Because I said if you guys have seen the media... 'Cause they know me up there. SB: Right.
11 CA: I mean I been there for two years seeing my dad almost every weekend. So, we
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
got up there early to break it to my mom and break it to my dad. Which was very upsetting to them about Caylee being missing and about Casey being arrested. But more so with Caylee being missing. SB: CA: Right. Urn, and we did that. So, I was very protective making sure no media followed us and everything. 'Cause you know media if they.. SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ..they already trying to find.. they been bothering my husband's parents in Ft. Myers. And I don't want them going and bothering my dad or my mom. So, I had a long talk with the nursing home director and they said, they wouldn't let anybody in anyway. You know they can't come in, they can't release any information 'cause they have done all that. So, I told 'em that morning I said listen my mom's probably in the shower about 7 I said she's probably just getting out of the shower. She gets up at 4 she goes out in the kitchen putzes around
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
and goes in and get her shower and then goes sees my dad. I called her she was in the shower she had her cell phone 'cause she you know... SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) ..already known. And I asked her I said, mom could.. did... was the last time I was up there seeing dad and I shot that video with Caylee. Was it the 15 th or the 8th? And she says, I'll tell you in a minute let me get dressed. She went out she says, 'cause you know I print out those letters to aunt Mary Lou. I wrote a nice letter to your aunt telling her what a great day we had. 'Cause we spent 2 hours with my dad. SB: Right.
CA: And we went over and had lunch with my mom. Um, she immediately said it was the 15th . But in the interim urn, before that it was um, was it the girl that I talked to on the phone put Melich on the phone. And Melich said, I need your... 'cause I told her I said, I'll tell you in a minute and she said, well Melich wants it now. Wants your dad's name now. So, I got on the phone with Melich and George was standing right next to me and he heard me. And I said, Yuri I said, I've got a call out to my mom she's gonna call me right back she's in the shower she's gonna call me right back and tell what day. He goes, no I want your dad urn, name now we're sending a squad car up to him. You know up to the facility and we're gonna get the books. I said, you can get the books at a later time they can fax 'em to you or whatever. If my mom says it the 15 th , it's the 15 th I'm not arguing with you. You know it probably is the 15 th , if that's what the you know the chip in the thing says. And he says, no I'm gonna send a squad car I want the name now. I said, I'm not giving you his name because it'll be public record and

it's gonna get out to the media and I don't want them harassing my dad. Who's on Hospice who's very ill and my morn is already a nervous wreck and she.. SB: CA: Right. ... and she's very ill. I mean they're both my mom's 81 and my dad's 85, he'll be 86 in a couple of months. And their health is not been good. And I said, don't threaten me Yuri I said give me a minute I'll send it out here. He said no I want it now. I said, if you press this and you send a squad car up there. 'Cause I'd already told 'ern what nursing home my dad was at. I said if you send a squad car up there don't you think that the media's gonna follow you and then they're gonna know where he's at? You know why I'm protecting my father. You knew why that I been protecting my parents since last week. I said give me an opportunity if you breach this trust between you and I, I will not cooperate with you guys anymore. And I told him that just because I was out there protecting my dad. My mom called me back in a couple of minutes. I immediately called Melich left him a voice message I said, my mom says it's the 15 th so it's the 15 th . She already had asked for them 'cause I told her to tell them to go ahead and get the books out. And that they could see if they fax them the page where I had signed in on... SB: CA: SB: Signed in... ... Caylee. ..on Caylee.
CA: On that date because I signed Cindy and Caylee to visit and I wrote my dad's name. And then that.. he brought.. they brought that up in court that I refused to cooperate with authorities because of that. You know and I stared him down I
1138
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
said, you know why, you know why I said that. And it was only because I was protecting my father. SB: CA: Yeah. And I have fully cooperated with him ever since. But I mean that's the way I was treated from that Monday on. And then no one has talked to us from that Saturday after Casey was taken into custody. Up until then we only had one briefing and that was the night before her urn, her hearing. SB: CA: Her hearing. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) They urn, they quit talking to me anyway because they first told us any tips that we had channel through the tip line. Well we did and they say, well we can't get through to 'em for two days we been trying. I gave 5 or 6 numbers I gave 'ern to the Missing Person's Unit, I gave 'em everybody cell phone number. I said, keep trying 'ern you know it's not the protocol, but if you can't get through the tip line you've got to get through. SB: CA: Right. And I would call them and say so and so is calling. Well after a while they get tired of us bugging them. I said, well Yuri you're saying on one hand if we don't report it to you we're not cooperating. And on the other hand if we report it to you we're bothering you. So what do you want us to do? So, I think a lot of it we need to repair. SB: CA: Right. And Lee reached out to them on Saturday they were suppose to get with us every other day. They still have not reached out to us. I mean Lee went down and spoke to the urn, one detective yesterday I don't know if it's Detective Edwards or whatever his name is. Yesterday and answered questions that I

-1139
guess he wants speak with all of us. But they're not reached out to George and
2 3
myself and us as a family like they have. And we need that and Lee's been trying to get that. Plus they promised me a week ago on that last Monday when they saw us before the bond hearing. I asked for my laptop back, which I gave
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
them. And also my camera back and they said they didn't need anymore. And Lee's been asking everyday and I still don't have it back. So, I'd like to have that back as well. I mean we got the, the family computer back within a couple of days. SB: Okay. CA: So, I.. I'd like to have that and I think that will help because then I can help look for Caylee on that and help email people things and do stuff that I need to do. Um... SB: I.. I understand... CA: SB: CA: If they want to open up... ...your frustration. ...that with you know with us it's a two way street. You know I always maintain that I feel they're doing the best that they can. But I'm not sure they're doing enough because I haven't been able to speak with them. SM: Well you know and they're not gonna tell you everything. I mean... CA: And I don't expect 'em to. SM: CA: SM: I'll .. I don't expect 'em to. ....give you an example. (Inaudible)... introduced 'ern to one of the investigators he just come back from two leads that he followed up on. I mean they are people

I know. ...while we're doing this that are out. I understand. And they're looking and they're knocking on doors. Okay. No trust me they are. But again I just hear the fact that you know I hear side things to my son or even Wanda. You know you got to... you go to speak to Wanda um, you know... It's very compelling when you hear it from someone that you... especially Lee. Lee shoots it straight Lee's just like me he's gonna say what it is. 'Cause if it's black, it's black, if it's white, if it's white, if it's gray, it's gray. If it's a stripped tie we're say it's a stripped tie.

(laugh) No but so, and that's why we reached out to you because we just felt like we're not sure. We get phone calls from people in Georgia that notified their authorities, notified the tip line and reached out three or four days later still hadn't heard from anybody. So, again...

They were all reasonable within.. and the two in Georgia sighting didn't even know about the OIA report. That was before the media or anybody had said anything.
SB: Yeah. CA: So, I mean it kind of puts it in maybe there's a Georgia.. plus I had a strong Georgia thought with someone locally. Can I keep these?
lo 11 SB:
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: Yes. I brought 'em for you guys. SB: CA: Yeah. Specifically.
SB: Those. Is there any other questions that you have for me? I know we've taken up a tremendous amount of your time today? CA: No urn, I know you... as long as I know you guys are out there assisting then I feel very comfortable that it's... you know that things are being followed up. SB: Hm.
CA: I mean that some reassurance. And that gives me piece of mind you know that we're.. SB: There's another question I want to ask you. CA: Sure. SB: And it doesn't mean that this is going to happen. What in the world is that? (Inaudible)... Urn, and.. and I'm not making any accusations. When things like
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
this happen you can call Josh and ask him too and anybody else that's been in this situation. All the information you've given us would you be willing to take a polygraph regarding it? CA: SB: CA: Absolutely. Okay. I have no problem with that. I mean I will answer to the best of my ability like I have. Like I said on some dates and stuff I'm not exactly sure you know. Again.... SB: That's okay. ...I didn't take notes or .. Poly... ...write things down. ...Polygrapher's understand that people don't remember everything exactly right. Exactly. But they, they get around it and they make is so that it works. Absolutely. Okay. It's just something that we.. we ask family members and things like that and.. CA: Just like when they came and said that the neighbor gave Caylee.. Casey the shovel. George and I said, go check our back yard we know every inch of that back yard. We were so confident they weren't gonna find anything in the back yard. Because we.. SB: CA: Yeah. ...knew why you would number one, use a shovel and that we had been through.. even though I brought up to Allen, make sure the dogs sniff around the

pool with the blocks. Because I'm thinking if it truly was an accident I'm thinking the pool area would probably be the number one place that it could've happened You know either... SB: CA: Right. ....her falling ... And I've been fearful of falling but Caylee and I got a routine down that you know we get it just right where I'm reach out to her and I'm on that last step that I got good footing and coming on down. Now last year when she was a baby and couldn't stand on the steps. SB: CA: SB: CA: Uh-huh. (Affirmative) Or you know younger. Yeah. We made sure we didn't go in the pool unless there was two people, two adults that we can hand her off to someone else. Because you just worry about getting in and out of the pool. SB: CA: SB: Well I'm gonna let you get out of here. I appreciate you... You have my number. .... coming down. I appreciate you... We're gonna, we're gonna go we'll stay in contact. Like I said I'm coming down to help today. That doesn't mean I'm gonna stay here. CA: SB: CA: SB: CA: Oh I know that. And I wouldn't expect you to I appreciate ... There are guys that I am very comfortable with. Just so you know. Uh-huh. (Affirmative) That are doing this ah... I spoke with both Allen and Yuri today. Well..

'Cause we had believe me media knocking down our door as soon as SB: CA: Oh yeah. ... that was released. I said I'm not speaking to anybody until I speak with Yuri. And I asked him I said, what do you not want me to talk about. He said, you can talk about anything you want. And I said well, I'm not gonna talk about the car if you don't want me to. I mean again.. SB: I'll tell you something. He, he told you that because that's the answer he has to give you.

I know but.. but I wanted.. I'll tell you I'll tell you something else... ....him to say ... ....about the media. ... I wanted him to tell me, I said, if they.. if you don't want me to let them know about the car I'm not gonna let them know about the car until you have a chance to look at it until you have a chance because I don't want to say anything. And I've been always been trying to be respectful of that.
SB: CA: SB: CA:

Right. But again my frustrations right now they know I've between frustrated we've told 'em on the phone. George has told 'em, I'm not suppose to be calling 'ern and bothering 'ern. So, they've had an opportunity to do damage control.

From this point on. And until I... I'll give you the advice, and they won't give it to you because ... I know,. ... because they can't. I know. They're not allowed to. But you know what? Speak what is best for Caylee. I know.
SB:
2 3 4
Not necessarily what you feel or not necessarily what you know to be the truth. Speak what is best for Caylee. And sometimes that means looking at them and going, guys what's I've done so far and what we've done so far hasn't worked. We're gonna have to change out tactic. You may not like it, and I.. I don't, I don't talk to 'em.

CA: Yah. SB: Personally.
CA: I know. SB: That, that's my... but I understand the need because you have to use 'em. Without them these things mean nothing to anybody. CA: Exactly. Beca.. and that's what I told them this morning. I said, there's no other, if it was just a missing child and nothing about the mom. She wouldn't have the media after two days. It'd be done and I said, that's the sad world for all the missing children that's out there. SB: Uh-huh. (Affirmative)
CA: And I will be an advocate for missing children from this point on even... SB: CA: Absolutely. ... Caylee's brought to me this afternoon I will be an active voice for them. In fact I was talking to some people that you know that do this all the time. And there's more... animals have more protection and more rights. And I'm an animal lover I have two cats... SB: CA: Right. ....and two dogs. But it's true they have more rights.
SB: Yeah.

CA: Then, then children do and it's sad. Because if you abuse... if you abuse your dog once or someone sees you strike.. you're gonna be arrested, but if you lay your hand on your child you're gonna be investigated and then it, then you're gonna be, they're gonna be taken back. They don't, they don't take 'ern away from you the first time. At least I've never heard that. SB: CA: No. Unless it's something really bad. But it's you know it's sad, it's really sad. (sigh) I just feel very comfortable knowing that you guys are also you know out. It's just nice to know another agency's out there that's all. It just give me... SB: CA: SB: CA: I understand. ... comfort. And I could...... If you get frustrated call me. ....take a little bit of comfort inside me right now 'cause it's hard to find things that comfort you. And I've told urn, everybody from day one I've always urn, been able to look someone in the eye and see if they're genuine or not. You can.. I can see through people. SB: Yeah. CA: I been a pretty good judge of character and I know when someone's bullshitting me if I see them. Now on the phone it's a little bit hard so, if Casey would've been one on one with me I'd saw holes through this right away and she knows it. And that's why... but I looked her in the other... in the eye the other day on there and I believe her. And I know I know Caylee is out there and I want, I'm gonna do everything I can to bring her back before her birthday. SB: So are we. CA: I know you will. I know you will I see it I see it Scott.

And the reason for this is so that way I can go back if I miss something or if I have a question or something I can go back and listen to this. Are you okay with that?
CA: YM:
Yes. Okay. One of the purposes we wanted to invite you here today is that we want to try and... as we've dealt with several Casey's friends is trying to establish a time line dates that she was definitely somewhere. Dates that she was definitely not where she was suppose to be. So, ah, Detective Edwards has done a phenomenal job right now in dealing with all her friends.

And I have more friends to go. I'm just... what's gonna help me I'm being asked questions by people that are weeding through... I'll show you something real quick and just for not even for anything other then, then the value of it for you to understand. 'Cause I know there's a lot of questions you have. Um, just a couple of days, just two days worth of phone records what we need from... from her phone. What we need to try to find out who those people are, what the communication was reference to is that much. Now that being said we have three month window here that we're trying to look at. And then really we could go back to the first of the year. So, to try to help narrow down days that we need to tie up man power on looking at who she was communicating with. If you can tell me from May through...
CA: EE:
I'll do my best. And that's all I can ask for 'cause it's difficult to remember what we had for dinner yesterday. I understand that.

CA: EE: CA: EE:
I believe he had to work Memorial Day. Okay. In the afternoon. You remember putting the child to bed that night?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA:
Um, most nights I you know rocked her even if I didn't put her to bed you know I would rock her...
EE: CA: EE: CA:
Help her calm down. and sing. Typical two year old. Oh yeah she always like to sit in my lap and we'd read or we'd go out last thing before she like to go out and look at the stars and find the moon and stuff like that.
EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA:
She had a... I mean I apologize... She doesn't sleep in her... (inaudible)... the house. crib... Sleeps in... She has a... bed with you? we have a urn, years... about a year ago we converted her urn, crib to a daybed. And rarely would she take a nap on it. So, I was Casey's bed and that's where she slept every night. We were trying to every once in a while let her sleep in her bed. But if she'd wake up and didn't touch Casey or someone then she'd start crying and then get up and come get urn, Casey anyway. So, Casey just decided to leave her sleep in there. And Casey kind of missed her too anyway so.
EE: CA:
It's a comfort level. It's a comfort for both of 'em they always...
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
EE:
Sure. Okay. So, we know for sure ah, Caylee the 26 th and most... most days for certain the Sundays and the Saturdays in May.
CA:
Yeah that I spent the day with her right. I can't say what did during the week while I was at work.
EE: CA:
This week or any week? Yeah I mean I don't know what she did during the day while I was at work. Most of the time she was there when I got home. Um, my routine was on my way home from work whether I was leaving at five, five fifteen, five thirty, six o'clock whatever. I'd dial um, Casey's cell phone and her and I would chat and that would just kind of help me get home you know, unwind. I'd find out what Caylee did for the day, what she was doing you know and that kind of thing. It was just a routine that we kind of had.
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
EE: CA:
Okay. So, now if you weren't on vacation what Yuri's getting at you were... During the day I wouldn't know what she was doing. If she was home with Caylee or not necessarily.
EE: CA:
But the evening... They were generally home and we had dinner and we played with Caylee, gave her, her bath and put her down and that was something that Casey and I both did together. I mean you know she might be running the bath water while I was finishing up dinner with Caylee or whatever.
EE:
Is there a night in particular that you know 'cause let's face it... No. there's a social life there that... did she go out on a particular night where you were tasked to... There's a lot of times she said she was working.
22 CA:

EE: Most, so most evenings? CA: EE: CA: Well, you know... Okay. um, at some point it doesn't mean that she was gone the whole night. sometimes she came in early and sometimes she came in... YM: CA: YM: What's early? Um, nine, eight you know. And what would be late for her or a normal... Ah... late for her? if she came in late it would be one, two. Again May doesn't stick out I mean it might be something that my memory will remember later if I go back and look at my work calendar or something, but no. EE: CA: Yeah that's great 'cause I.. I gave Lee those... See if I'm at work... two calendar books and... I could... and if you get... Yeah. a chance feel free to use 'em and jot it down... Yeah. whatever and just we'll set something else up then that's fine. I mean

We're pretty boring people come home from work and we're home bodies you know we don't really go out a lot. You know George and I go to dinner once in a great while and that's it. EE: CA: Right. Our life was Caylee.
lo 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
EE: And yard work. CA: Our life was Caylee we worked out in the yard. George was... if he was out front um, you know washing the cars, if Caylee was um, napping or when Casey... I'd weed out front, but typically we're in the back. That's why we had it fenced it and we had Caylee's play area back there if we were outside. EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: That was you're, that was you're... (Inaudible)... recreation... That was our.... The pool. oasis back there.

1 EE:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

CA: I mean we (Over talking) EE: CA: Save money that way. We made it a place for you know what? Even before Caylee we were people that wanted to be at home, I mean... EE: CA: Um huh (affirmative) We used to like to go to the beach and when we got the pool (inaudible) I hadn't gone to Cocoa Beach for a long time, you know we just... EE: Did she like the beach the um Caylee?
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: I never had an opportunity to take Caylee to the beach. I know Casey had taken her a couple of times. We talked about it we had talked about you know going to the beach. EE: Okay well that can look at that, one one thing she did say was um to friends and we can remove that now maybe that's something she should have... CA: I never took Caylee to the beach. EE: CA: Okay yea well I don't want to appear like I'm trying to (Over talking...) No, no, no that was some things because um... actually I had spoken with Ryan on the 3 rd and he thought I had Caylee at the beach that week and the week that I was off and I said no I haven't been to the beach all week and I haven't seen Caylee. EE: CA: Okay. So and then even Jesse called me and told me that the baby sitter had that he said that Casey (inaudible) time with the baby sitter had her at the beach and urn
I
said I don't know and you know I don't know anything about that because she
didn't tell me that the baby sitter had her at the beach.

EE: CA: EE:
Okay. So... Well that helps you know I mean days like...
CA: I didn't I have never had her at the beach. EE: CA:
Recreation? George and I went to the beach one time this year, we went to Cocoa Beach urn... once I can't remember what day it was and... was just him and I, I can't even remember urn... I think it was uh it had to be probably around May because Casey and Caylee were both still home so either May or that first week of June, could have been the first weekend of June. In fact it might have been that first weekend of June that urn Saturday before my birthday or something like that. You know that weekend before I... um was either that or the weekend after urn... (Over talking) George might remember I'm pretty sure was either it wasn't the weekend of Memorial so was either the urn...
EE:
Following weekend?
CA: It might have been the following weekend that him and I went to the beach.
Ur... so that would have been what the... seventh?
EE: CA:
So you went to kicked off your vacation... Going to the beach then I took um I thought I had taken Caylee to see my dad whenever it was the week before so George and I must have went up or mist have went up or I must have went up and saw my dad on May
8th .
EE: CA:
Okay. And then the following Sunday on Father's day is when um and I remember clearly now I didn't the 15 th was Father's day, it didn't even think about that (inaudible) Father's day because George didn't want to celebrate it, he was busy;
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Casey was I think she was off work and I think I just gave him something you know a Father's day present and I think Caylee and I just decided to go up and visit my dad, she haven't been up there for... a couple of weeks or so to see him. EE: Well let me (inaudible) some clarification on those things just for my... so May were in May 31 st you um you and George went to the beach May...? CA: EE: I think it I actually think it was June 7 th now. June 7th? Okay June 7 th so you ended that week's vacation at the beach before you had to go back to work cause you were off the first week in June... CA: EE: CA: Possibly. Okay. It was either the beginning of the end of George would remember more than I would, right now I... again this is all kind of a blur I'm tired so... EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: Urn huh (affirmative) But I could probably figure it out. No stress. (chuckle) No, I I mean it (Over talking) No I know I mean is... You and Lee can go (Over talking...) It had to you know really put branded our minds you know? Right well it just helps us do...
CA: I said the 15th would be branded in my mind forever... EE: CA: Right. You know with the 15th of July (inaudible)

Oh yea I mean... You know... that was... that was made on the 15th right to Casey and Lee? (inaudible) When you first went and got her. Right. That's when you said that you have seen...? Yea I just said that because and I didn't look at a calendar it just came out I was thinking it was the Sunday before I went back to work but it was actually father's day, which was very easy to confirm as you know without even. just a little call to my mom confirmed it. I mean she has... my mom has a log of everything, if I talked with her she would explain (inaudible...) so I can find her letters might help.

Um huh (affirmative) If that's okay, pool um... you had the baby, the daughter Casey was working that whole weekend.
CA: EE: CA:
She was in and out I saw her every day I mean I can't I cant... Okay. Tell you her schedule, there was sometimes that we spent together too but it wasn't like we were gonna... you know we were thinking about going down to Fort Myers but we didn't end up going cause my dad um wasn't doing real well again so I kind of stayed close to home in case you know I was gonna go to Fort Myers on Monday and my mom had called me um the week before on that Thursday actually went up to Mount Dora on Friday before my vacation and stayed over night and then came back on Saturday; mom said he wasn't feeling very well so...
YM: CA: YM: CA: YM: CA:
You talking about Friday the...? So that's why I know now I didn't go to the beach. 29th over at Mount Dora? No. So the Friday before you vacation...? For my vacation... yes so that's why I know now I didn't go to the beach that day cause I slept (inaudible)

2 3 4 5 6 7
here, told me to pack a bag he wasn't doing very well so on Friday after work I stayed over and I can probably... my mom could probably confirm that with her notes to my Aunt Mary Lou and then the 31 st would have been the night...day before my... vacation, I stayed there. That's why I stayed at home I we didn't want to go away I wanted to stay close to the house in case something happen with my dad that I could go up there real quick and I told my mom I'll come up you know any time that she needed me but I had spent the night and by the time I got up he was doing better and I spent the day then came back home. EE: CA: EE: So you didn't go to the beach Saturday (inaudible...) for sure? Didn't go to the beach that... yea. Okay.

CA: Has had to be the 7th . EE: r and 8th ?
CA: 7 th and then the 8th (mumble...) EE: Okay does that that would that would be a line in Ricardo's account because Ricardo remembers Casey and Caylee staying... with him that that in the same time frame. CA: Okay cause Ricardo told us that he... she stayed with him... EE: No, no this is well...
18 19 20 21 22
23
CA: Here and here had left there... EE: There?
24
25
CA: Well I was back that night if I'm positive Caylee was with us.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
EE: CA: EE: CA:
Positive she was there that night? pretty positive she was with us that night. How about this night? Definitely that night because that's... that was the night before we back from vacation and I remember seen her cause remember I got confused that that was the night I know I saw her that night.
EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: EE:
Okay... all right the second week then you have this week off... Um huh (affirmative) Second week you go back to work. Um huh (affirmative) Was it the same kind of...? Yea normal routine, I mean I can't... But were not... I can't remember specifics... We don't know what night she was there?
CA: I mean I don't recall Caylee been gone over any nights if any maybe one and and the only time Casey ever told me the only places that Caylee would ever stay over was they were crashing at Zany's she never told me she was taking her to Ricardo's, never told me she was taking her anywhere else except Zany's um and to the point... EE: CA: Let me let me write that down real quick before I'm sorry... Anytime Caylee ever stayed away from the house Casey said she was with Zany. EE: Okay.
1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
CA:
And it wasn't that often that you know maybe at night here or there sporadically but she always said she was crashing at Zany's and that...
EE:
Now let me ask you this with that been said um... and just your interpretation as I'm going thru this thing is that is that because she knew she would mom doesn't want her in some boyfriends apartment staying over night?
CA: I don't know I didn't even know... EE: CA: Okay. Her and Ricardo were an item, I knew that he was a friend, she talked about Ricardo as a good friend um I did not realize that they were boyfriend and girlfriend but she had spoken of Ricardo. EE: Cause there's one there's one in particular that I want to get to that's that's there is a question in my mind and it this kind of feeds into what your saying then because you is obvious you daughter just from talking to her friends so far... had a great deal of loyalty to your desires and when you wanted that child home and the reason I feel that way is because one of the nights in particular... CA: EE: CA: EE: Well I think cause she should be home in her own bed. Most grandparents and parents do I I... (chuckle) I agree with you, so Ricardo says that on the 31 st of May that they stayed over there when they went to sleep but when he woke up Casey was still there but the baby was gone and what Casey told him was you had called upset because the baby wasn't in her own bed and she got up brought the baby home and then went back to Ricardo's because I'm just tell those are one of the things "bink" is obvious that there is a chain of command there and she is trying to adhere to it... CA: Yea.

CA: EE:
Not in the morning no... No? No, no, no I'm talking like during the night uh...
CA: No I don't know... EE:

No?
CA: I never called Casey and told her to bring her home to me... EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA: EE: CA:
Never? In the middle of the night. Okay. Except for the 15th The 15th ? When I told her she's bringing her home. Okay. Is when she said no I'll wait till tomorrow I said no...... no that doesn't um... stand out something like that I would remember.

CA: EE: CA : EE:
Urn huh (affirmative) You go back to work. Urn huh (affirmative) And I'm just trying to look to where I know people say they... your absolutely right Ricardo's um... he the 9 th he says they stayed there and... I have to re look at his his statement...
CA:
They could have been one or two night that they said they stayed at Zany's because it seemed like starting in May and June it was more frequent that they crashed at Zany's but not more than one or two days at a time until... after June you know urn 16th then there was a story every every day.
EE:
Urn?
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15
CA: But up until that it was no more than one or two days ever strung together and it did seemed like it was more urn in May you know it started it... EE: She would call you and say that the baby is at Zany's staying the night when I'm going to Ricardo's cause... CA: No what she would say is urn... I'm gonna crash at work I'm gonna you know
mom I have to work late I'm just gonna leave Caylee with Zany's because I have
to get up in the morning and I'm gonna stay at Zany's and that way I can go on to work so she was gonna crash at Zany's. Um Casey never came home and left Caylee anywhere else that would have been a red flag and she would have known I would have been irritated as heck and would have made her go back and get her because you don't leave someone at the babysitter's. EE: Well that might play into it and you might not remember now but that may play into why she brought her home that night on the 31 st . CA: Yea but I never had said that but that's what I would have done. EE: Okay.
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: I mean she knows me well enough that I would have done that so she might have just figure that one out her self and said that to him. EE: Okay that make sense. CA: I mean we, I never came up that way but Casey knew that... EE: Where were at with time, I don't want to make you...
CA: Okay I think we're good so far... EE: Okay. CA: As long as were out of here by 11:30. EE: Okay.

And we got another hour and ten minutes. I just don't want to... And I don't mind doing this at all cause that that helps. It it helps us be able to focus on this instead of... Well see that's what we were kind of doing with the kids, were trying to figure out where...
EE:
Well that's fine and I personally met with Jesse and we went over his calendar book and I realized that there was more in the (inaudible) than just his...

CA:
Well let me tell you I went day by day with Jesse and he's got a lot of discrepancies, in fact I wrote down everything as he was talking to me and he changed his story two and three times.
10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
EE: CA: EE: CA:
If you have something like that (Over talking) I'll bring it in the next time.
Please. Because he sword to me that... eight there was an eighteen minute conversation on June 27th that he had with Casey that she invited him out to Fusions to cheer him up, he told me it was June 27 th and I was writing it as he is talking and I said you you're sure June 27 th ? He goes absolutely it was that Friday that we went out and I says well you talked to her for eighteen minutes did you hear Caylee in the background, did she talked about Caylee? He goes yea I asked her where she was and she says she was with the babysitter at the beach so I have that written down.
EE: CA:
Okay. Well then... last weekend or the I don't know this it doesn't even seem like is two weeks, it seems like is been one day...

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
EE: CA:
You see how I have all this calendars? Right but urn... George uh Jesse called George and said I need to speak with your wife and he says well she is busy, he goes well I got to tell her something and he goes well tell me and I'll pass it, he goes I got my date wrong it was the
24th and um about the date that Casey invited me out; well then he is going to the
media and saying specifically that that conversation that he heard (door closes) Casey tell Caylee to get off the table, now during the whole time when I was sitting there talking to urn Jesse that Saturday after all of this happened um... when he was in my home... he urn he was sure of all of his you know he was sure about everything (inaudible) now you haven't talk to Caylee or Casey during this whole time frame? Absolutely not, are you absolutely sure? Absolutely not, so that was a big red flag when he changed the story going to the media that he had heard Caylee EE: CA: On the 24th? Yea or even that he had even heard Caylee's voice because he maintained the whole time that the babysitter had her from what Casey said and that was not and he believed all that so like I said, I can... EE: Those are the reasons that...
10
11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
CA: I have like seven pages of stuff that I asked him, you know how Lee was is doing
it? I did the same thing to Jesse cause he was my first... he was my first person I
had thought of that had a motive that could intimidate Casey enough to keep her mouth shut and that would threaten us because... um he is that type of person. EE: CA: Why are you saying that? Because... he was in my home every day and I got to know himmrurn and I got to see his anger and rage because he took it out on me one day, couple of times
urn while they were engaged. And from the day Caylee was born he was in her
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
life and he is stayed in her life off and on. And Casey doesn't you know she gets very like stay away from him mom, like that kind of thing and even if you guys watch our taped interviewed I asked her specifically about people and she's every the only person she said don't talk to, she says stay away from Jesse. And she looked freighted when she said that so... EE: Let me ask you something about that incident with anger or rage, can you tell me about that? CA: Yes I'm gonna tell you exactly what it was, George and I urn right after Caylee was born, right around November or somewhere around Thanksgiving um we had some issues and about the first or second week of December he and I separated for a while urn we were separated until June and... this was before Ca Caylee's first birthday, Caylee was born in August so this is (inaudible) you know so 2005 urn it was somewhere after urn... Jesse and Casey gotten engaged so it was sometime after January cause they got engaged on New Years Day he proposed to her New Years Eve and urn so it had to be maybe probably... EE: CA: EE: CA: Was that a happy time for you or no? About as far as that engagement... Urn... I'm just trying to... get a feel for what (inaudible) It was... I could tell Jesse really cared because the way that he did a paternity test that first week Jesse's idea to do the paternity test was very disappointed that Caylee wasn't his and blah blah blah, Jesse did not want Jesse didn't want to believe that it was his baby but I could tell the first night ...um after meeting him he came back and I came back up to see Casey and the baby cause we had been there all night long urn... Jesse had gotten cleaned up, I came back to visit
11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
and he was... it was they looked like a family and he was dating someone else at that time, he was over in Tampa dating another person at that time which I cant
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
remember the girls name but Casey said she used to be a nanny just to let you know that that his friend because at one point Casey said that Jesse's friend could help watch Caylee and that was...
EE: CA:
Jesse's new girlfriend used to be a nanny? Yea well is actually his old girlfriend, the girl that he was dating um then he was starting to date Casey and then he went back to his old girlfriend when Casey and he kind of separated and this was during I guess while Casey was pregnant she didn't say anything to Jesse until the morning Caylee was born.
EE:
So the girl that used to be...?
CA: I never met her, don't really know her name. EE:
Was Jesse's girlfriend before your daughter started dating him was a nanny? No you don't know her name?
CA: No I can't remember her name um Casey had told it to me but I can't remember
it.
EE: CA: EE: CA:

EE: CA: EE: CA:

Jeff and Casey started seen each other and Jeff and Zany remained friend, Zany continued to watch his son Zachary and Jeff encourage Casey to let Zany watch Caylee as well... save money just do whatever, Zany was doing it um...you know basically as a friend and Jeff was taking care of all of that.

So though Jeff and... And that happened... Zany broke up they she still watch both Casey and Jeff's child? Yea they remained friends, Zany started dating someone else from what she said and that Zany became Caylee's main primary babysitter um from what Casey said probably from October probably around right after Caylee's first birthday and to present time, you know what I'm saying? So this person wasn't made up just a month ago or whatever but what I'm thinking I think that Zany at this point was a real person in the beginning.
EE :
Um huh (affirmative) But I think Zany is now whoever is watching Caylee in my mind. Transfer the the responsibility. The name... yes so I think she refers to... I believe... Though you think were spinning our wheels looking for a Zany? I'm not sure but my I have two theories and I'll share that with you...

June, July... Yea (Over talking) She's never been to Jacksonville... Right. So... everything that we've gotten from her, everything that you guys are trying to get from her to help with this is still a lie. Is is a consistent lie and the problem that we have is that the more she tries to divert from what we actually need to do which is find Caylee the harder it is to find her and... I guess there were some statements made that concern me on TV is that you said not too long ago on one of the shows that... you knew who has Caylee but you don't want to say anything because you want to be absolutely sure before you mention this person's name and that was something that you said on the news, what's that about?

Let me explain that. For Caylee... right exactly... Can I explain that one to you? Right go ahead explain it. The reason we didn't put it out at 7:00 in the morning when we had dropped Casey off was because I already had indications that she was lying to us about who all these people were. Before I put Caylee out there I need to verify who I need to try find her because if I put Caylee's face out there at 7:00 in the morning and this person has Caylee they'll go uh shot they're coming to get me so...
