ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Orange County Sheriffs Deputies are asking for the publics help in locating a 2 year old girl who has been missing over a month.


Authorities said Caylee Marie Anthony has been missing since June 9th. According to investigators her mother, Casey Marie Anthony said she dropped the child off with a friend and babysitter “Zenaida” at a local apartment complex “The Sawgrass Apartments” on that day.

She then went on to add that she has since lost contact with her friend.

The reason for the delay in reporting the incident according to investigators was that it was only this past Wednesday that the grandparents reported Caylee missing after confronting Casey regarding their granddaughter’s whereabouts and discovering she had not been seen by them or their daughter for well over a month.

Deputies arrested Casey Marie Anthony for child neglect and providing false information to law enforcement. She is currently being questioned regarding the investigation and the timeline regarding her whereabouts after June 9th is of particular interest to investigators.

2 year old Caylee is white with brown hair and hazel eyes. She is approximately 3 feet tall.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public if anyone has seen Caylee and Casey together, or if anyone has seen Caylee Marie Anthony in the company of another since June 9th, 2008 please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office or Crimeline at 1 800 423-TIPS (8477).

Girl, 2, Missing For Over A Month
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:50:48 PM

ORANGE COUNTY -- Deputies are trying to find a 2-year-old girl who's been missing for more than a month.

Investigators are currently trying to find Caylee Marie Anthony.

Casey Anthony, the girl’s mother, said she dropped the girl off at a friend’s house back on June 9, but then lost contact with that friend, who is only known as Zenaida Gonzalez.

The girl’s grandparents got concerned and confronted her mother.

They then went to the sheriff's office.

Anthony was arrested Wednesday on charges of child neglect and for lying to authorities.

Investigators said they're not sure if anything she's saying is true, since she's already lied to them, saying she worked at a local theme park when she didn't.

“Obviously, if we had been notified the day the child turned up missing, we could have started looking for the child immediately,” said Sgt. Allen Lee from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. “The fact the child has been missing for five weeks, of course, makes it more difficult for us.”

The young girl remains unaccounted for.

If you know where she is, or think you have seen her, call CrimeLine at (800) 423-TIPS.

2-year-old girl missing for more than a month

Susan Jacobson and Willoughby Mariano | Sentinel Staff Writers
July 17, 2008

She's 3 feet tall, loves her teddy bear and hosts tea parties with her stuffed pig and Elmo doll at a toddler's picnic table.

The last time her grandma and grandpa saw her, she was moving out of their Lee Vista-area home with her mom.

The question is, where is Caylee Marie Anthony?

The 2-year-old girl hasn't been seen in more than a month, and her grandparents are worried. So are Orange County investigators.

Caylee's mother, Casey Marie Anthony, 22, told detectives she dropped Caylee off at a baby sitter's house June 9 but that the child was not there when she went to pick her up.

She never notified deputies.

She didn't tell her parents.

She did her own investigation, she told detectives. She went to clubs that the baby sitter, a woman she identified as Zenaida Gonzalez, is known to frequent. She said she was afraid her daughter would get hurt if authorities got involved because she had seen that happen in movies.

Early Wednesday, Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, insisted her daughter call the Sheriff's Office. Now, detectives are asking for the public's help in finding Caylee -- and Gonzalez, who authorities think may not even exist.

Investigators discovered that the apartment Casey Anthony said belonged to the baby sitter had been vacant for nearly five months.

"It's difficult to sort through what we've been told, given that what we've been given was false," said Sgt. John Allen of the sheriff's child-abuse unit.

Detectives are retracing Anthony's steps and trying to locate people who may have seen her with -- or without -- Caylee in the past month.

Cindy Anthony has been asking her own questions. Where is Caylee? she has asked her daughter. Can I see her?

Caylee is fine, Casey Anthony has replied. We're living together with friends.

"I've been asking my daughter for the last month to talk to Caylee," Cindy Anthony said. "All I want is Caylee."

Casey Anthony was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation. She was being held late Wednesday without bail at the Orange County Jail.

When questioned by deputies, Anthony did not "show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child. She did not cry or give any indication that she was legitimately worried about her child's safety," according to an arrest report. "She remained stoic and monotone during a majority of our contacts."

But her mother insists Anthony has been a good mom.

"And I could never dream she'd put her in harm's way," Cindy Anthony said.

Investigators are wading through a stack of information to try to come up with the truth. For instance:

*Allen, the child-abuse detective, said Anthony initially insisted she worked at Universal Studios and provided a phone extension and the name of her supervisor. All proved false, Allen said. In fact, Anthony was fired from the theme park in April 2006, according to the report.

*Anthony told investigators that Caylee's father is dead. They don't know whether that's true.

*Since Caylee's disappearance, two friends said Anthony told them her daughter was at theme parks or the beach with a nanny, according to investigators.

*Acquaintances describe Anthony as "a habitual liar" who stole checks and $700 from one woman, according to Anthony's arrest report. No charges have been filed.

Anyone with information about Caylee can call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

Toddler Missing For More Than A Month
Thursday, July 17, 2008

ORLANDO -- 22 year old Casey Anthony says she dropped off her daughter a month ago with a babysitter and friend. She says she has not seen the girl since.

Orange County Sheriff's learned of the girls disappearance on Tuesday after 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony's grandparents reported her missing. Anthony was arrested for child neglect and providing false information to law enforcement.

Now the grandparents and Orange County Investigators want to know why her mother never reported the Caylee missing. According to authorities Casey says she was worried her daughter might be harmed if the police were notified. Casey says that's why she lied to her parents, telling them the girl was ok.

Orange County Sheriff's Investigators thought it was suspect after they attempted to question fellow coworkers at a local theme park and learned Casey lied about working there.

Casey's grandparents thought her actions were bizarre, saying she was always a good mother, but they called authorities anyway.

Investigators say they cannot locate the friend Casey claims she left the child with. Her first court appearance is scheduled Thursday.

Judge denies bond for mother of missing 2-year-old daughter

Walter Pacheco, Susan Jacobson and Willoughby Mariano | Sentinel Staff Writer
9:53 AM EDT, July 17, 2008

A judge this morning denied Casey Marie Anthony bond, saying she showed "no regret or concern for her actions" following the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony.

Despite Casey Anthony's lack of a criminal history, Orange County Judge John Jordan said no condition of release could protect the community from harm.

Casey Anthony, 22, just nodded as Jordan offered his comments.

"You left your 2-year-old child with a person who does not exist at an apartment you cannot identify and you lied to your parents about your child's whereabouts," Jordan said. "You cared so little about your child."

Jordan ordered that a mental health evaluation be conducted on Casey Anthony and that she have no unsupervised contact with a child under the age of 17.

The child hasn't been seen in more than a month, and her grandparents are worried. So are Orange County investigators.

Casey Anthony told detectives she dropped Caylee off at a baby sitter's house June 9 but that the child was not there when she went to pick her up.

Fla. Mother Waited 5 Weeks before Reporting Missing Baby Daughter
By Diane Smith
19:20, July 17th 2008

A Florida mother called police about her missing 2-year-old daughter five weeks after the baby went missing. The 22-year-old mother was charged with neglect and lying to police.

The woman identified by police personnel as Casey Anthony of Orlando, Florida, is being held without bond in Orange County. Unfortunately, her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony wasn’t found yet. A MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/cayleeismissing dedicated to the search was created.

The negligent mother entered court for hearing this morning. Judge John Jordan told her that she cared so little about her baby girl that she left her with a person who does not exist at an apartment she cannot identify, the Orlando Sentinel reported quoting the judge. Furthermore, Anthony lied to her parents about her child's whereabouts.

According to local news organizations, Anthony told investigators she left the girl with a babysitter at an Orlando apartment complex in early June. She said she has been searching to that woman ever since, but police investigators found out that the apartment where the babysitter was supposed to reside was vacant for more than four months. Moreover, the woman Anthony said was the babysitter said she doesn’t know the negligent mother, Central Florida News 13 reported.

"It's difficult to sort through what we've been told, given that what we've been given was false," Sheriff's Sgt. John Allen told the Orlando Sentinel.

The baby’s grandmother reported her missing and she said she did it so late because the mother kept telling her that Caylee was okay.

Caylee Anthony case: Police following leads in search for missing 2-year-old

Walter Pacheco, Bianca Prieto and Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
5:20 PM EDT, July 17, 2008


A trail of lies and unanswered questions today surround the disappearance of a 2-year-old girl reported missing by her mother more than a month after she vanished.

Investigators have not been able to pinpoint when Caylee Marie Anthony disappeared and are asking for anyone who may have seen the child since June to contact authorities.

Detectives spent the day talking with possible witnesses and following up on leads, Orange County Sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said at a 4 p.m. press conference.

Caylee's mom, Casey Marie Anthony, told officials that she dropped her daughter off with a baby sitter she identified as Zenaida Gonzalez on June 9 but the girl was gone when she returned to pick her up. Investigators have not been able to track down "Zenaida" and question whether she actually exists.

"We can't compel (Casey Anthony) to give us more information," Lee said.

Authorities seized some "electronic equipment" today in hopes it will help in the investigation. They questioned Anthony at length on Wednesday but have not spoken to her today. She is being held in the Orange County Jail and refused media requests for interviews.

"We have caught her in several lies," he said.

Joshua Duckett - the father of a missing Leesburg boy - was at the Orange County Sheriff's Office during the press conference. He said he was there to offer his help to the Anthony family. His three-year-old son, Trenton, is still missing.

"There is no reason anybody should be without their two-year-old," he said.

An Orange County judge denied Casey Anthony bond this morning, saying she showed "no regret or concern for her actions" following the disappearance of her daughter.

Despite Casey Anthony's lack of a criminal history, Judge John Jordan elected not to release her.

Casey Anthony, 22, just nodded as Jordan offered his comments.

"You left your 2-year-old child with a person who does not exist at an apartment you cannot identify and you lied to your parents about your child's whereabouts," Jordan said. "You cared so little about your child."

Jordan ordered that a mental health evaluation be conducted on Casey Anthony and that she have no unsupervised contact with a child under the age of 17.

Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Casey Anthony Wednesday on suspicion of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.

Since the arrest, Casey Anthony has weaved a tale of lies that have left investigators with little information and her family puzzled over the deception.

"At this point there is no indication that [Caylee] is deceased," Capt. Angelo Nieves said. "We don't know where she is. Our concern is for the child and to locate her."

Authorities have not issued an Amber Alert for the girl because the information they have does not meet the criteria, Nieves said. Detectives say they are challenged in the investigation because so much time has passed since she was last seen.

Cindy Anthony, the child's grandmother and the one who contacted investigators Wednesday, is hopeful that her smiling granddaughter with hazel eyes and light brown hair is safe and will be returned.

But she can't explain the lies her daughter told family and the authorities.


In early June, Casey Anthony told her mother she was being sent to Tampa for work and would be back in a few days, and later said she was going on a "mini-vacation" with friends. Cindy Anthony never thought much of it.

"I had no reason to believe they weren't where they were supposed to be," Cindy Anthony said. "I don't know why she fabricated this."

Casey Anthony told detectives she dropped Caylee off at a baby sitter's house June 9, but that the child was not there when she went to pick her up.

She did her own investigation, she told detectives. She went to clubs that the baby sitter is known to frequent. She said she was afraid her daughter would get hurt if authorities got involved because she had seen that happen in movies.

Investigators discovered that the apartment Casey Anthony said belonged to the alleged Zenaida Gonzalez had been vacant for nearly five months. Detectives later located a woman named Gonzalez, but she did not recognize the mother or daughter from pictures.

Deputies showed Casey Anthony a picture of Gonzalez and she admitted not recognizing the woman.

She told deputies she worked at Universal Studios and named people who could vouch for her. When deputies drove her to the theme park, officials confirmed that neither she nor the people she mentioned worked for the park. Still, she "walked with purpose and acted like she knew where she was going," the sheriff's report shows.

Friends described Casey Anthony to deputies as a "habitual liar" who once stole $700 and checks from a friend. She also told a former boyfriend on June 25 that she would be free to get together because her daughter was "with the nanny and that they had gone to the beach for the weekend."

When questioned by deputies, Casey Anthony did not "show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child….she continued to claim ignorance and at times, laughed about the situation," according to an arrest report.

But her mother insists Casey Anthony has been a good mother.

"Like everyone, [Casey Anthony] has good and bad days," her mother said.

The family has set up four MySpace pages with the hopes of someone finding Caylee.

"To hear her say 'I love you...'" her grandmother said, her voice beginning to break. "This little girl has been the light of my life for the last three years."

Anyone with information about Caylee can call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

MySpace Used In Search For Missing Toddler
By Jason Lee Miller - Thu, 07/17/2008 - 4:21pm.

The family of a missing toddler have set up a MySpace profile in efforts to make contact with anyone who can help locate her. Two year-old Caylee Marie Anthony has been missing since around June 9th, but, in a bizarre story leaving her mother a prime suspect, wasn't reported missing until July 15th.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, told police she hadn't seen her daughter in five weeks, but didn't report her missing until confronted by her parents about the toddler's whereabouts. She claimed fear of police involvement causing harm to Caylee as the reason for not reporting it.

But Anthony's behavior is much stranger than simply not reporting her missing child. The initial story she gave police and her parents was she had dropped Caylee off at her babysitter's July 9th between 9:00 and 1:00, which is a strange time lapse itself, and hadn't seen her since. Upon investigation, however, Anthony's story proved more and more fictional.

The apartment she gave as the babysitter's residence had been vacant for nearly five months. No one at the apartment complex had heard of the babysitter, whose name matched a woman who had filled out a visitor's card there once. Police said the woman had never heard of either Casey or her daughter Caylee.

Anthony's employment was also fabricated, but went so far as to stick with her story to the point of leading police down her supposed workplace hallways in search of her office, which didn't exist. Most disturbing: The investigating officer says in his report Anthony showed no emotion as to the loss of her child, no concern about the Caylee's wellbeing.

The officer also notes: "In the course of this investigation, I received calls from several persons who know the defendant. All claim she is a habitual liar and she has been known to steal from friends in the past."

Though forced to admit some falsehoods during the investigation, Casey has stuck to most of her original story that Caylee was kidnapped. She's being held without bond on charges of child neglect, obstructing a criminal investigation, and giving the police false statements.

Interestingly, her name and phone number is still listed on the MySpace page as a contact for information regarding Caylee's whereabouts, along with grandparents, her uncle, and the detective on the case.

A post below her picture reads as though she typed it:

i am almost 3 years old.
i have shoulder-length, light brown hair
and i have dark hazel (brown/green) eyes.
i have a birth mark on my left shoulder/arm.
i'm approximately 3 feet tall,
and weigh about 35 lbs.

Searching on MySpace for the word "missing" brings back results, but none on the first page appear to be legitimate missing persons postings. Even if any real postings came up, it seems because of the bizarre, highly sentimental, and timely nature of this case, Caylee will likely receive a lot more press attention.

But as far as search efforts go, posting Caylee's photo and description on MySpace seems like a smart move, and MySpace could serve as a central bulletin board for such things in the future. Perhaps MySpace should delegate a missing persons section to make it easier to find the postings, at least.

A cadaver dog was brought to the home's back yard and was searching around a pool area Thursday night.

When asked if the dogs could be searching for a body, a detective said anything is possible.

Homicide detectives were also called to the scene Thursday night.

Caylee Marie Anthony Disappearance Timeline

Thursday, July 17,

ORLANDO -- Casey said that on June 9, she dropped Caylee off at a babysitter who lived at the Sawgrass Apartments. She said the babysitter's name was Zenaida Gonzalez.

Authorities tracked down Gonzalez, but she said she did not know Casey Anthony. In fact, the apartment complex says nobody has lived at the apartment where Anthony said she left Caylee, for 142 days.

Mother and daughter lived with Casey's parents -- George and Cindy Anthony. George Anthony told News 13 that Casey had given them the impression she had been going to work every day and that Caylee was staying with friends or a nanny.

On July 12, police said, after not seeing Caylee for some time, her grandparents got concerned and confronted Casey and convinced her to go to the sheriff's office.

Anthony was arrested Wednesday (July 16, 2008) . Investigators said they're not sure if anything she is saying is true, since she has already lied to them, saying she worked at a local theme park when she didn't.

“Obviously, if we had been notified the day the child turned up missing, we could have started looking for the child immediately,” said Sgt. Allen Lee from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. “The fact the child has been missing for five weeks, of course, makes it more difficult for us.”

Search Dogs, Digging Tools Brought To Grandparents' Home
Thursday, July 17, 2008 11:51:25 PM


ORLANDO -- Crews suspended their search in the backyard of Caylee Anthony's grandparents' house late Thursday night until at least 8 a.m. Friday.

On Thursday night, search dogs and digging equipment were brought in. For now investigators said they're just trying to rule things out.

“This is part of the investigation,” said Carlos Padilla from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. “Right now we're trying to rule out any possibilities. You know again during an investigation you try to confirm or rule things out, so right now, according to the detectives handling this, they're trying to figure out if the child had ever been back there after she went missing."

Detectives also removed items from the home earlier in the day, and took a shovel from a neighbor's home.

Missing Girl's Mother Denied Bond

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, 22, remains locked up without bond.

She appeared before a judge Thursday who ordered her to remain in jail because she showed a "woeful disregard for the welfare of her child" and has told authorities a string of lies.

She was also ordered to undergo a mental evaluation.

Casey was arrested Wednesday on child neglect charges and for lying to investigators.

Meanwhile, deputies continue to plead with the public to come forward with information as to the little girl's whereabouts.

They said their investigation has been slowed down because it took so long for them to learn there was trouble.

Authorities said they haven't issued an Amber Alert in this case because her disappearance doesn't meet the specified criteria.

Girl Spotted On July 12

Some friends told the Anthonys that they had spotted Caylee on July 12 in a shopping area somewhere along the Orange-Seminole County line. It was not known who the child was with at the time. When she was last seen, Caylee was wearing a blue and pink outfit and white-rimmed sunglasses.

Friends Call Casey Anthony A "Habitual Liar"

Many of the people police talked to about Casey said she was a "habitual liar."

Casey had told investigators that she worked at Universal Orlando, but the theme park said she had been fired two years ago.

Anthony did not give authorities the name of Caylee's father, but told them that he is dead. However, police said they are taking that information with a grain of salt because of the many lies they had already heard.

Crews Digging Up Yard After Cadaver Dogs Zero-In On Areas In Missing-Girl Search
Girl Missing 5 Weeks Never Reported Lost; Mother Doing Own Search

POSTED: 7:06 pm EDT July 17, 2008
UPDATED: 11:46 pm EDT July 17, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Crews dug in a back yard belonging to the grandparents of a missing 2-year-old girl late Thursday after cadaver dogs zeroed-in on areas at the property.

Several sheriff's dogs were called to the home of Cindy and George Anthony, located on Hopespring Drive in Orlando after a tip about a borrowed shovel led officers to the home, Local 6 reported.

The couple's daughter, Casey Anthony, 22, was taken into custody Wednesday after it was determined her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, 2, had been missing since early June. Anthony did not report her daughter missing for five weeks, police said.

Thursday, officers received a tip from a neighbor who said Casey Anthony borrowed a shovel from them not long ago. The neighbor said Anthony borrowed the shovel for about an hour and then gave it back.

The tip sparked a search of the property and the shovel was taken into evidence.

"We will search the entire yard with dogs and other methods, Orange County sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said. "We are not here to dig the entire yard up, but we are going to use dogs and probes to search the yard."

When asked if the dogs could be searching for a body, a detective said anything is possible.

"We certainly want to find the child alive, but we want to be prudent and follow up every lead we get," Allen said.

Homicide detectives were also called to the scene Thursday night.

More Inconsistencies Found

Meanwhile, investigators said they still don't know what to make of the mysterious case because there have been so many inconsistencies in Anthony's story.

"As we continued to investigate, we've found more inconsistencies in the mother's story so we continue to look for witnesses and people who may have additional information," Orange County sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said during a Thursday news conference.

Investigators said what Anthony has said so far during the investigation has been lies, Local 6 reported.

Judge Questions Mother

Earlier Thursday, Orange County Judge John Jordan asked Anthony where her daughter was.

"Mrs. Anthony, the court would say to you, 'Where is Caylee Anthony?' Jordan asked. "But I can't force you to answer that question but that is the question I leave with you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir," Anthony said.

Anthony did not say anything else.

"You left your 2-year-old child with a person who does not exist, with a person who does not exist in an apartment you can't identify and you lied to your parents and friends concerning your daughter's whereabouts," Jordan said during Anthony's appearance.

Anthony did not respond.

Tips Offered In Case

During the news conference, Allen said people have already provided "helpful" information in the case but some specifics remain unknown.

"We have been able to talk to different people who have called in since you have put our bulletin out and some of those people have given us information that has been helpful," Allen said. "But we can't say exactly when the child disappeared."

Allen asked for more help from the public.

"Anybody who may have seen the child and mother together during the middle of June or since the middle of June, we need those people to call us as well," Allen said.

Allen also said detectives have done some searches and have taken in some electronic equipment in the case.

Detectives are still searching for the child's father.

Anthony Says Doing Own Investigation

Meanwhile, when detectives initially questioned Anthony, she told them that she was doing her own investigation into her daughter's disappearance during the last five weeks, Local 6 reported.

The woman also said she saw movies and reports that if people in similar situations went to police, they had gotten hurt.

Anthony said her daughter was with a baby sitter at the Sawgrass apartments but on June 9, the sitter did not answer the door.

Detectives said they checked with apartment management and learned that no one has lived in the apartment for five months.

Late Wednesday, Caylee's alleged baby sitter was tracked down by detectives and the woman said she has never cared for the missing child.

Officers said she admitted to lying throughout her interrogation.

"It is difficult to sort through what we are being told," Allen said.

Mother Shows No Emotion

During questioning, detectives said Anthony did not show any emotion over the loss of her child. She did not cry or give any indication she was legitimately worried.

"It appears to the court that you care so little for your child that you did not even report her missing until five weeks later," Jordan said Thursday.

Since investigators cannot get a straight story, they said they are focusing on finding Caylee.

"I feel the more media exposure we have, the quicker we can bring Caylee home and that is the whole point of all of this -- to bring Caylee home safely," Caylee's grandmother Cindy Anthony said. "I kind of felt hopeless last night but I kind of felt hopeful today."

Reporter Susan Jacobson said from the scene of the search for 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony that a second cadaver dog -- Bones -- has been brought to the home the little girl, her mother, Casey Marie Anthony, had lived with her parents northeast of Orlando International Airport. Bones was brought in by the Osceola County Sheriff's Office to offer a second dog's nose in the backyard.

Two additional shovels and other digging tools also were brought to the scene, authorities said.

[Tracian]

GRACE: Everybody, when we come back, police desperately searching for a beautiful little girl, Caylee. After the grandparents report her missing, we learn Caylee last seen five weeks ago. Why hasn`t Mommy called police? Tonight, where is 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony?

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Casey Anthony is a 22-year-old mother. That`s a fact. This is her beautiful 2-year-old Caylee. That`s also true. But the rest of the story is blurry at best, false at worst.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, it`s difficult to sort through what we`re being told.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Detectives say they got a called from Caylee`s grandparents early this morning who just found out that Caylee had been missing for a month.

CINDY ANTHONY, MISSING 2-YR-OLD GIRL`S GRANDMOTHER: And I had every hope that when I found Casey Caylee was with her. And when Caylee wasn`t with her, and Casey couldn`t produce Caylee, then I knew something was wrong. Mother`s intuition, I had gut feeling something wasn`t write so I called the sheriff`s department.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: A beautiful 2-year-old little girl is missing. Right now we have a live shot. Breaking news, there in the backyard of the home that was shared by the family, we have learned that police are gathering, they are converging in the backyard around an apparently a plastic playhouse. They have lifted it up.

Also there in the backyard, we see German shepherd dogs. We don`t know at this juncture whether they are cadaver dogs or search dogs. We do than little Caylee has been gone now for several weeks. Weeks had passed without the mother reporting her missing.

Joining me right now on the scene is Kendra Oestreich with WESH.

Kendra, what can you tell me?

KENDRA OESTREICH, REPORTER, WESH: Well, I can tell you right now Orange County investigators are searching the home of Cindy and George Anthony here in Orange County, Florida.

They brought in a couple shovels just moment ago and they are digging in the backyard. They brought in two large shovels, two smaller shovels, and as you said, they have moved to the playground off. They have been focusing on a sandy area around that.

Neighbors in this area apparently told the investigators that they saw Casey, the little girl`s mother, here recently alone when her parents, the grandparents in this case, were not here. And so they`re just making sure that it`s possible, whether or not Casey might have buried Caylee, a little 2-year-old girl, here in the backyard.

GRACE: With me, Kendra Oestreich from WESH, joining us right there on the scene. You are seeing a chopper shot of the backyard. This little girl apparently had been gone for weeks without her mother ever reporting it then get confronted by cops after her grandparents, the grandmother and grandfather, became very, very concerned. And they called police.

The mom told police, Kendra, apparently, that she had been conducting her own investigation?

OESTREICH: That`s right. And investigators say that Casey, the mother in this case, has told them lie after lie. Her story was that she dropped off Caylee, the little girl, on June 9th at a friend`s house, Zenaida Gonzalez. But investigators haven`t been able to find this Zenaida Gonzalez or know even if she even exists.

She says she dropped the little girl off and then headed to work. When she returned to the apartment complex, both the friend and Caylee were apparently gone.

But again, this girl has told them lie after lie. She even went as far as to take them to Universal Studios the other day, saying, "I work here," was leading them through an office complex saying, "This is where I work," and in the middle of that, all of a sudden she stopped and said, "You know what, I don`t work here."

Come to find out she was fired from the theme park back in 2006.

So investigators are having a hard time, you know, telling heads from tales from what this mother is actually telling them. Her story versus what is reality and the worst fear, of course, is if this little girl is here in the backyard.

GRACE: When the neighbors, Kendra, saw her, the mom, in the backyard, when the grandparents were not there, what was she doing?

OESTREICH: Well, apparently investigators just told us only that, that a neighbor is what led them to search here at the house again and that`s all we know at this point. Just that there is some concern that potentially when she was at this house that she was maybe up to no good.

GRACE: Kendra, is that a cadaver dog that is with the police?

OESTREICH: That`s what police are thinking -- our spokesperson here believe that must be the case because usually when they`re using canines to search, track a suspect, is a different kind of dog. This dog is likely trained to be searching for remains here in this backyard.

GRACE: With me right now is a special guest. This is Caylee`s grandmother Cindy Anthony.

Miss Anthony, thank you for being with us. Are you with me, Miss Anthony?

ANTHONY: Yes, I am.

GRACE: Miss Anthony, first of all, our prayers are with you right now at this moment because there is a chance that the little girl is still alive. There is a very distinct chance.

ANTHONY: Absolutely. Absolutely.

GRACE: What happened, Miss Anthony?

ANTHONY: I don`t know what`s happened. I don`t know what`s happened. That`s why I`m here trying to ask the public if they can find Caylee, because I still believe she`s alive.

GRACE: Tell me why do you believe that?

ANTHONY: A gut feeling, because anybody that looks at this little girl will fall madly in love with her and there`s no -- no way that anybody would not want to have her around because you just -- when you`re around her all you feel is her magic.

GRACE: When you spoke to Casey, did anything she said make sense? I mean everything she`s told police so far has been a pack of lies, one after the next.

ANTHONY: Well, no, when I spoke with Casey on Tuesday, nothing made sense. That`s why I called the police. I`ve been told Tuesday, everything made sense to me. I`ve communicated with my daughter, every day since the last time I saw her, which was -- I -- the last time I saw Casey and Caylee was June 8th.

My husband saw them both leaving on June the 9th. Actually my husband saw Casey a week or two after that at the house when she came by to pick up some things. And we haven`t seen Casey -- or Caylee, though, since the 8th and the 9th.

But Casey gave me an explanation where she was and it was very -- it was very, you know, believable. And I had no reason to ever doubt my daughter. My daughter has been nothing but a loving mother. I mean I`ve never had any evidence otherwise.

And it`s not like I don`t see them every day. I mean, Casey has always lived with me, you know? She was 19 when Caylee was born. And so naturally, Caylee, when she came home from the hospital, there was a room in the house that was Caylee`s room. And so that`s been their home for, you know, as long as they`ve both been alive.

I mean we moved to Orlando in 1989. And that`s how long we`ve been, you know, at that -- you know, at that residence. And that`s been Casey`s, you know, home.

Casey actually was a little bit older. She was about 3 1/2 when we moved there. And Caylee`s going to be 3 in a month. So there`s a little - - you know, a lot of the similarities there. Caylee is a spitting image of her mother when she was little.

GRACE: How many weeks had your granddaughter been missing before she was finally reported to police as missing?

ANTHONY: I don`t know. Casey states that she`s been missing since June 9th. I haven`t seen her since June 8th but I had no reason to believe that she was missing until Tuesday which was July 15th.

GRACE: And what happened on that day?

ANTHONY: I found out that she wasn`t where she said she was. I found out that Caylee was not in the city that she said she was and so when I found her and Caylee wasn`t with her like she had told me she was with her for the last month, then, you know, I asked her, "Well, let`s go get her because I miss her. I want to go see her. I want to bring her home so she can sleep in her bed."

And when she told me that, you know, it was to late to go because she was already sleeping at the babysitter`s house and, you know, why disrupt her because, you know, wake her up and then have to bring her home and then she`ll be up all night, let`s just go pick her up in the morning, and, you know, I said, no, I`m selfish, I want to see my granddaughter, I haven`t seen her in a month.

And I guess a little bit of tone in Casey`s voice, "no, mom," you know, she was pretty persistent and insistent, and then I got a gut feeling that -- I just knew something was wrong and Casey couldn`t tell me.

So I told her, you know, to either take me to her or I`m going to bring someone that could take me to her and so I told her that I was going to call the sheriff`s department if I didn`t.

GRACE: What did she say when you told her you were calling the sheriff?

ANTHONY: She said go ahead and call them. She said, you know, I know why where she`s at, I`ll tell them where she`s at. So, you know, I called them and by the time they got there, she was -- had told us that Caylee had been kidnapped. And Caylee was.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Where is Caylee Anthony? Well I can`t -- I can`t force you to answer that question but that`s the question I leave with you. Do you understand?

CASEY ANTHONY, MISSING 2-YR-OLD GIRL`S MOTHER: Yes, sir.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(NEWSBREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony remains missing and detectives continue to plot through a tangled web of what they consider to be lies told by the 22-year-old.

Detectives say that Anthony claimed she dropped her daughter off at this apartment on June 9th and when she came back the babysitter was gone. It turns out no one has lived here in five months. We`re told Anthony admitted to lying about many details. But she has not said anything about the location of her daughter.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: In fact, as it turns out, nearly everything she told police was a lie.

I want to go out to Marc Klaas, founder of Beyondmissing.com. What should police be doing right now?

MARC KLAAS, FOUNDER, BEYONDMISSING.COM, FATHER OF MURDER VICTIM POLLY KLAAS: Well, I`ll tell you what they should be doing -- they`re doing a very good job of responding to this very difficult situation. They got the public involved right away. They`ve got this woman in custody.

And you know, this woman has the answer. She either killed, sold, or gave away this little girl. And just like in the Trenton Duckett case, they have to keep an eye on this woman because if she`s not on a suicide watch, she should be, because if she were to die, she will take the answer with her.

At some point they`ve got to lean on her. They`ve got to get her to tell them the truth. That`s all they can do.

GRACE: To Rory O`Neill with Metro Networks, Marc Klaas has an excellent point. Where is the mom right now?

RORY O`NEILL, REPORTER, METRO NETWORKS: Well, the judge in the case ordered that she be held at the Orange County jail without bond and pending an investigation, pending an evaluation. So she will be held up in the jail without any chance of being released at least for the time being.

GRACE: An evaluation for what?

O`NEILL: A mental evaluation.

GRACE: OK. That`s not good.

To Cindy Anthony -- this is Caylee`s grandmother -- a mental evaluation, did your daughter have any history of mental disturbance?

ANTHONY: No. No, no history of mental illness.

GRACE: What do you make of her telling police she left the daughter in this apartment. The cops go there, nobody`s lived there in months. Everything she says doesn`t make any sense.

ANTHONY: You know I can`t comment on that. I don`t know. I`m not in Casey`s head. I`m not a psychiatrist. I thought I was here today to discuss Caylee. Not to defend what my daughter`s doing.

GRACE: Tell us then what you want the public to know about your granddaughter.

ANTHONY: Well, I want the public to know is this a beautiful little girl and what I want the public to know is if you see her, to pick up the phone and to call. And -- I don`t care what city, you know, where you`re at, if you think you`re going to get your friend in trouble or whatever you pick up the phone and you call anyway.

This little girl is our entire life. And I still believe she`s alive because I do not believe that my daughter did any harm to her child. My daughter has been nothing but a loving mother and I have seen that for the last three years.

The only thing that raised a red flag to me is the fact that Casey could not tell me where she was at. I do not know why. Casey may be dealing with this in her own way. She may not be able to -- I don`t know. When something tragic happens, our, you know, we don`t know how we`re going to handle it.

I know how I would handle it now at being the age that I am. But a 22-year-old does not always make the right decisions. I cannot answer. No one knows what the person`s going through. I mean what they`re doing, you know, when something tragic like this happens, and I saw Casey break down.

I saw Casey cry. And a lot of people are stating that they haven`t seen it. I did see it. Casey spent the night with me. Well, the night was over. It was all day with me from Tuesday to Wednesday, you know, I was with her for several hours.

Casey created the Caylee Marie Anthony missing MySpace page. Casey was instrumental in connecting a lot of what -- a lot of what we`re doing right now, you know? And her efforts -- those efforts have not been shown on the camera.

So right now, Casey`s not on trial. Right now, Caylee is missing. And that`s the word that I want to get out to everybody. Caylee`s missing. This little girl needs to be found so instead of thinking that she`s already dead or you know something`s already -- there`s no -- there`s no -- there`s no answer yet. And we have to find that answer.

GRACE: The tip line to help find Caylee is 800-423-TIPS, 800-423- 8477.

We have no suggestion this little girl is dead. There is a distinct possibility she may still be alive.

Out to Kendra Oestreich, WESH, there on the scene -- what more can you tell us, Kendra?

OESTREICH: Well, the lead investigator in the case just came out to brief us on progress. They say they are searching every area in this backyard. I can tell you that CSI investigators brought out a shovel from a neighbor`s home earlier tonight and they took that into evidence as well.

They say they`ll be here throughout the night searching until they do find those answers that the family is looking for.

Now I can also tell you that investigators talked with several of Casey`s friends, saying that they saw her June 2nd, and she didn`t seem or give any indication that there was anything wrong that Caylee was missing. Her story was that Caylee was always with a nanny at the beach or at a theme park and never really gave any indication that there was anything wrong Caylee.

Now investigators said when they were talking to her yesterday, she showed no sign of remorse or concern that her 2-year-old daughter was missing. That also concerns investigators as well as getting no answers from her yet, even today.

GRACE: With us there on the scene is Kendra Oestreich with WESH.

What exactly are police doing there in the backyard right now, Kendra?

OESTREICH: Well, basically they are exhausting all possibilities at this point. They want to make sure that Caylee`s not here. They`re using a tool to poke into the ground to see if there is any soft spots and just make sure that nothing is back here, using a dog, another one is on its way, and they`re just hoping to find answers here.

Where is Caylee?

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANTHONY: I`ve never seen her be a bad mom. She`s -- she loves her daughter. I don`t doubt that. Casey has been a very wonderful, caring mother. And I`ve never seen anything to not believe her.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Where is little Caylee?

With us right now, her grandmother. This is where Caylee lived her whole life.

Back to Cindy Anthony, Caylee`s grandmother, well, for the last month, where did you believe they were?

ANTHONY: I believe Caylee was with her mom. They needed some time to bond. It`s been very difficult for Casey to, you know, have Caylee all the time when my husband and I -- you know want to spend time with her as well.

So Casey`s 22 years old. She wanted -- she told me that she wanted some space. She wanted to go to work and then she wanted to go take a little vacation, take Caylee with her. So that`s where we thought she was.

I talked to my daughter all the time and always had a good explanation of where they were at. And it made some sense. I mean there was no reason to believe.

GRACE: Right.

ANTHONY: . that Casey and Caylee weren`t together at any time.

GRACE: Everyone.

ANTHONY: So...

GRACE: . please help us. There is a desperate search going on right now in the Orlando area for a beautiful 2-year-old little girl Caylee. The tip line is 800-423-8477.

Where is Caylee Marie?
Police conduct grim search for 2-year-old girl

Walter Pacheco and Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writers
July 18, 2008

Cindy Anthony finds solace in her missing granddaughter's bedroom.

The small, tidy room, once filled with the laughter of 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony, is now eerily silent. Pictures of Winnie-the-Pooh line the walls and decorate the quilt on the toddler bed, and an empty chair at her tiny teatime table awaits Caylee's return.

Now it's a place where Cindy Anthony goes to hold on to the girl's favorite teddy bear and pray.

"I've found a lot of peace here the last few days," Cindy Anthony said. "There's an emptiness in my heart because she's not here."

Late Thursday, Orange County sheriff's deputies with hand shovels spent more than five hours digging through parts of Cindy Anthony's backyard. Two police dogs roamed the area in search of Caylee's scent. Investigators at one point moved a playhouse from its spot in the yard and looked at the ground beneath it.

They planned to return this morning at 8. "This is tedious work, and we're going very slow," said sheriff's Sgt. John Allen, who heads the child-abuse and missing-persons squad.

Their interest in the backyard grew when a neighbor told investigators the girl's mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, had borrowed a shovel about a month ago. That shovel was taken as evidence earlier Thursday.

Investigators' work has been more difficult, they say, because of a web of lies Casey Anthony has told about her daughter's disappearance nearly five weeks ago.

"As we continue to investigate this, we find more inconsistencies in the mother's story, so we continue to look for witnesses," Allen said Thursday. But one investigator put it more bluntly in Anthony's arrest affidavit:

"Based on the repetitive lies that the defendant has told, we do not know with whom the child is or even if the child is alive," wrote Cpl. Yuri Melich of the missing-persons unit. "It should be noted that at no time during any of the above interviews did the defendant show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child."

Casey Anthony reported Caylee missing Wednesday -- after Cindy Anthony urged her to contact authorities.

Casey Anthony told officials she dropped her daughter off with a baby sitter she identified as Zenaida Gonzalez on June 9 but that the child was gone when she returned to pick her up. Investigators have questioned a Zenaida Gonzalez who said she had never met Anthony or Caylee. Detectives are looking for others with the same name.

The Sheriff's Office arrested Anthony late Wednesday on charges of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.

Detectives spent Thursday talking with possible witnesses and following up leads, including seizing electronic equipment from the Anthony home. Crime-scene investigators carried a large item out of a house next door on Hopespring Drive. Casey Anthony and her daughter had lived with her parents at their Lee Vista home until June 9.

While deputies searched for Caylee, Casey Anthony remained locked up at the Orange County Jail. Investigators did not question her further Thursday.

Orange County Judge John Jordan denied Casey Anthony bail Thursday, chastising her behavior.

"You left your 2-year-old child with a person who does not exist at an apartment you cannot identify, and you lied to your parents about your child's whereabouts," Jordan said. "You cared so little about your child."

Casey Anthony, who has no criminal record, nodded as Jordan spoke. The judge ordered a mental-health evaluation.

Casey Anthony, investigators say, created a trail of lies that has left them with little information.

"At this point, there is no indication that [Caylee] is deceased," Capt. Angelo Nieves said. "We don't know where she is. Our concern is for the child and to locate her."

Authorities have not issued an Amber Alert for the girl because the information they have does not meet the criteria, Nieves said. Detectives say they are challenged because so much time has passed since she was last seen.

"If we had been called the day she disappeared . . . it would have been much easier to find the child," Allen said.

Cindy Anthony can't explain the lies her daughter told.

In early June, Casey Anthony told her mother she was being sent to Tampa for work and would be back in a few days. Later, she said she was going on a "mini-vacation" with friends and taking Caylee with her. Cindy Anthony never thought much of it.

Casey Anthony told detectives she worked at Universal Studios and identified people who could vouch for her -- another lie. The apartment Casey Anthony identified as the place she left her child with Gonzalez in June has been vacant for five months.

"I had no reason to believe they weren't where they were supposed to be," Cindy Anthony said. "I don't know why she fabricated this."

Anyone with information about Caylee can call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

Digging Resumes In Back Yard During Search For Missing Girl
UPDATED: 8:58 am EDT July 18, 2008

http://www.local6.com/2008/0718/16919732.jpg

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Crews were digging in a back yard belonging to the grandparents of a missing 2-year-old girl Friday after cadaver dogs zeroed-in on areas at the property.

Several sheriff's dogs were called to the home of Cindy and George Anthony, located on Hopespring Drive in Orlando after a tip about a borrowed shovel led officers to the home, Local 6 reported.

When asked if the dogs could be searching for a body, a detective said anything is possible.

"We certainly want to find the child alive, but we want to be prudent and follow up every lead we get," Allen said.

Homicide detectives were also called to the scene Thursday night and crime scene investigators were seen checking a car belonging to Anthony.

Five Big Lies Hang Over Case Involving Mother Of Missing Toddler

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- There are five big lies investigators said Carey Anthony told them. Even seasoned detectives were astounded over how she kept up the charade for so long at Universal Studios, where she said she works, but it was all part of a pattern of lying.

Lie #1: Casey Anthony told detectives that she last saw 2-year-old Caylee after dropping her off at Sawgrass Apartments #210 on South Conway Road (see map) on June 9, but the apartment has been vacant since February.

Lie #2: Casey told detectives that she's an event planner at Universal Studios. They brought her to the park telling her they were hoping to find clues in her locker. She told security she had lost her identification and then led investigators on a long walk through the park until she finally admitted she was fired two years ago.

Lie #3: Casey told detectives Caylee's babysitter had once lived in an apartment building in Orlando, which they found is for seniors only. It is across the street from her friend's home, where she even stayed after Caylee disappeared.

"I am very, very close to the family. I was close to Casey," Amy Huizenga told Eyewitness News.

They were close, she said, until she recently accused Casey of stealing more than $700.

"I'm very worried for the child. Why not? She's been missing for a month. There's no reason not to be worried for this kid. I love her a lot. She's a great girl," she said.

Lie #4: Casey claims a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez is Caylee's longtime babysitter. When investigators talked to Gonzalez, she told them she doesn't know the Anthonys and has never been a babysitter.

Lie #5: Investigators say, during the time after Casey claims Caylee disappeared with the babysitter, she told her boyfriend Caylee was with the "nanny" at Disney.

According to the police report, Casey admitted up to lying about working at Universal and to everything else except one. She still insists she dropped Caylee off at the Sawgrass Apartments unit for the babysitter.

Since 8 a.m. Friday, a forensics team has been using rods that they place in the ground to see if there is anything under the dirt.

The police chief also recently announced that investigators have found abnormalities in the dirt, but would not elaborate on what was found.

Cadaver dogs have also been brought in to aid in the investigation.

Six to 10 deputies continue to search the backyard area. Meanwhile, two more remain outside the Anthony's home, patrolling the area to make sure the potential crime scene is not compromised.

Police have not released any information to whether their search has resulted in any leads, but do say the girl's grandparents remain cooperative in the investigation.

Cadaver Dogs, Investigators Search For Missing 2-Year-Old In Backyard

http://www.wftv.com/2008/0718/16920141_200X150.jpg


ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- With dogs, shovels and manpower, investigators searched the backyard Friday of the home of the grandparents of a missing 2-year-old girl. Detectives said 22-year-old Casey Anthony has told numerous lies about her daughter's disappearance.

There's been no sign of 2-year-old Caylee Marie at the home on Hopespring Drive off Chickasaw Trail (see map). Investigators checked a new spot in her grandparents' backyard after a neighbor told them Caylee's mother had borrowed a shovel recently.

During a press briefing early Friday afternoon, investigators said they can't speak with Casey Anthony anymore because she has hired an attorney and it would be up to her to reach out to them with any information.

"Well, we spent the first day of the investigation with the mother prior to her arrest. We talked to her for a couple of hours. The initial information she gave us, we followed up on. Since her arrest, we have not had any contact with her," Sgt. John Allen said during Friday's press briefing. "We can't go back to the jail and talk to her at this point. If she were to contact us and indicate that she had information, we would certainly go back and talk to her. She's had an opportunity to tell us anything that she knows."

Investigators brought a cadaver dog back to the scene around noon Friday to check a spot toward the back of the backyard, in an area where there are some bushes. The fact that the dog was on scene is a sign that they haven't seen anything yet, but sometimes the evidence in a case like this might not be visible to the naked eye. Still, investigators were remaining optimstic.

"Just because we're here with cadaver dogs doesn't mean we're giving up that Caylee's not alive," Sgt. Allen said.

Investigators also pointed out late Friday morning that the grandparents' house is not the only focus of the investigation. Investigators said they have also searched Casey Anthony's vehicle, but did not disclose if they found anything.

"At this point we're still looking. We still have additional investigators and detectives. The others are still working on following up on leads they are still getting. [The grandparents' home] is just one facet of the investigation," explained Capt. Angelo Nieves, Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Another possible lead came in late Friday morning from down the street, where a little boy thought he saw a toy in his yard that didn't belong to him. Investigators, though, don't seem to be shifting manpower in that direction.

The 2-year-old's mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, is being held without bond in the Orange County jail. She's charged with felony child neglect. She had her first appearance in court Thursday, but did not say much to the judge.

Police Ask For Help; Fla. Toddler Missing 5 Weeks
Child Not Reported Missing Until Wednesday

ORLAND, Fla. -- Police have asked for the public's help in locating a 2-year-old Orlando girl who has been missing for more than five weeks.

Police said Caylee Anthony wasn't reported missing until two days ago.

Orange County Sheriff's deputies dug in the back yard of Caylee's grandparents on Thursday night, after a neighbor said the girl's mother, Casey Marie Anthony, borrowed a shovel from them about a month ago.


Investigators used search dogs, cadaver dogs and tools to comb the yard for clues.

"Just because we used cadaver dogs, it doesn't mean we are assuming she's dead," said Sgt. John Allen, at a Friday news conference.

Casey Anthony was held without bond on charges of child neglect and lying to the authorities.

"You left your 2-year-old child Caylee Anthony with a person who does not exist, at an apartment you can not identify and you lied to your parents and friends concerning your child's whereabouts," Judge John Jordan said during the bond hearing. "You didn't even report her missing until five weeks later and then only because the child's grandmother insisted."

The mother's boyfriend talked to ABC affiliate WFTV http://www.wftv.com/news/16906025/detail.html in Orlando and wouldn't say if he thought Casey Anthony killed her daughter.

"I don't want to say yes or no to that. I really don't know," Jesse, who didn't want his last name used, told the TV station.

The 22-year-old mother told police she dropped the child off with a baby sitter on June 9 and hadn't seen either of them since. She said she was conducting her own "investigation" in an effort to locate her daughter.

The girl's grandmother alerted police on Wednesday.

Investigators said they tried to question people at Casey's workplace, but she lied to them about working at a Universal Studios. Sources told WFLTV News that she even led investigators around the park, saying she was taking them to her employee locker.

"It's things like that which causes concern. This is time we could've spent trying to locate the child," said Sgt. Allen.

Search For Missing Fla. Toddler Caylee Continues
Forensic detectives find "abnormalities" in dirt
Last Edited: Friday, 18 Jul 2008, 3:28 PM ED


A forensics team is searching the backyard of the home where 2-year-old Caylee Anthony lived for clues into her disappearance. This is day four of the investigation.

The girl and her mother, Casey Anthony, lived with the girl's grandparents, Cindy and George Anthony.

Beginning at 8 a.m. Friday morning, a forensics team has been using rods placed in the ground to see if there is anything under the dirt.

The police chief announced that investigators have found abnormalities in the dirt, but would not elaborate on what was found. Cadaver dogs have been brought in to aid in the investigation.

Six to 10 deputies continue to search the backyard area. Meanwhile, two more remain outside the Anthony's home, patrolling the area to make sure the potential crime scene is not compromised.

Police have not released any information about whether their search has resulted in any leads. They do say the girl's grandparents remain cooperative.

According to Caylee's mother Casey, the little girl went missing on June 9, but was not reported missing until five weeks later when her grandmother reported the information to police.

Cindy Anthony decided to call authorities when she had not seen her granddaughter in more than a month, and became suspicious of her daughter's excuses as to why.

On Wednesday night, police arrested the 22-year-old mother, charging her with child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation.

Investigators say Casey told numerous lies which sent police to investigate dead-end leads. She told them that she dropped her daughter off at a babysitter in the Sawgrass Apartments in June and was unable to make contact with the sitter since then.

When investigators went to the apartment complex, the manager said they did not have anyone under the woman's name as ever being a resident there. In addition, the apartment Casey pointed out to detectives proved to have been vacant for months.

Investigators say Casey also lied to them about being employed at Universal Studios. She was fired from there in 2006.

On Thursday morning, Casey went before a judge for her first appearance. He determined that she would be held without bond.

By Thursday evening around 6:30 p.m., forensic team members began searching Cindy and George's backyard. Police said they got a tip from a neighbor that they saw Casey in the yard while her parents were away.

The neighbor told police the little girl's mother borrowed a shovel. Police have since seized the shovel as well as a computer from the neighbor. Casey's car has also been seized as evidence.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office is if anyone has seen Caylee and Casey together, or if anyone has seen Caylee Marie Anthony in the company of another since June 9, 2008 please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office or Crimeline at 1 800 423-TIPS (8477).

From Orlando Sentinel
Grandparents' backyard no longer focus of search for Caylee Marie

Orange County sheriff's crime scene investigators use a shovel today to search for clues in the backyard of the home of Caylee Marie Anthony's grandparents.. (RED HUBER, ORLANDO SENTINEL / July 18, 2008)


Crime-scene technicians are no longer digging through Cindy Anthony's backyard this afternoon, after several hours of searching turned up no clues into the disappearance of her 2-year-old granddaughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

Calls are coming into detectives who are prioritizing which leads to follow up on first, Orange County Sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said at a 12:30 p.m. media briefing. So far, the local CrimeLine tip hotline has garnered about 40 calls since the story broke late Wednesday. The tips continue to steadily come in to the hotline and dispatchers are forwarding the information to detectives, said Barb Bergin, a law enforcement coordinator at CrimeLine.

A neighbor alerted authorities that Caylee's 22-year-old mom Casey Anthony -- who had stayed with her parents on Hopespring Drive -- had borrowed a shovel about a month ago. That's why deputies began searching the backyard and brought in cadaver dogs Thursday night and this morning in hopes of finding anything. Detectives removed a shovel from the neighbor's house.

"It's one of many leads we are following up on," Allen, adding he would no elaborate on those leads.

At this point, there is no evidence that shows Caylee may be dead, Allen said.

Investigators have not spoken to Casey Anthony since her arrest on charges of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation. She remains in the Orange County Jail without bond.

Casey Anthony's lawyer criticized the Orange County Sheriff's Office efforts to find the girl, saying they should be trying to track down Zenaida Gonzalez - the woman Casey Anthony said was baby sitting her child the day she disappeared last month. The laywer, Jose Baez, suggested that Gonzalez and Caylee could be anywhere from Miami and Gainesville to Charlotte, N.C. or New York City and Brooklyn.

"We have reason to believe the person who was with [Caylee] has ties to those places," Baez said.

Captain Angelo Nieves, sheriff's spokesman, declined to respond to Baez's statement, but said law enforcement is doing all they can both locally and nationally to find the toddler.

While investigators probed the backyard, residents in the south Orange County neighborhood woke up to news crews and media trucks parked along their streets. Casey Anthony and her daughter had lived with her parents at their Lee Vista home until June 9.

Neighbor Diana Centeno, whose children have played with Caylee in the past, said the whole investigation is "just scary" and hopes Casey Anthony - the child's mother - did not have anything to do with the disappearance.

"This is tedious work, and we're going very slow," said sheriff's Sgt. John Allen, who heads the child-abuse and missing-persons squad. At one point, investigators shifted a playhouse from its spot in the yard and looked at the ground beneath it.

Investigators' work has been more difficult, they say, because of a web of lies Casey Anthony has told about her daughter's disappearance nearly five weeks ago.

"As we continue to investigate this, we find more inconsistencies in the mother's story, so we continue to look for witnesses," Allen said Thursday. But one investigator put it more bluntly in Anthony's arrest affidavit:

"Based on the repetitive lies that the defendant has told, we do not know with whom the child is or even if the child is alive," wrote Cpl. Yuri Melich of the missing-persons unit. "It should be noted that at no time during any of the above interviews did the defendant show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child."

Casey Anthony reported Caylee missing Wednesday -- after Cindy Anthony urged her to contact authorities.

Casey Anthony told officials she dropped her daughter off with a baby sitter she identified as Zenaida Gonzalez on June 9 but that the child was gone when she returned to pick her up. Investigators have questioned a Zenaida Gonzalez who said she had never met Anthony or Caylee. Detectives are looking for others with the same name.

Detectives spent Thursday talking with possible witnesses and following up leads, including seizing electronic equipment from the Anthony home.

While deputies searched for Caylee, Casey Anthony did meet with her attorney at the jail.

Orange County Judge John Jordan denied Casey Anthony bail Thursday, chastising her behavior.

"You left your 2-year-old child with a person who does not exist at an apartment you cannot identify, and you lied to your parents about your child's whereabouts," Jordan said. "You cared so little about your child."

Casey Anthony, who has no criminal record, nodded as Jordan spoke. The judge ordered a mental-health evaluation.

Casey Anthony, investigators say, created a trail of lies that has left them with little information.

"At this point, there is no indication that [Caylee] is deceased," Capt. Angelo Nieves said. "We don't know where she is. Our concern is for the child and to locate her."

Authorities have not issued an Amber Alert for the girl because the information they have does not meet the criteria, Nieves said. Detectives say they are challenged because so much time has passed since she was last seen.

"If we had been called the day she disappeared . . . it would have been much easier to find the child," Allen said.

Cindy Anthony can't explain the lies her daughter told.

In early June, Casey Anthony told her mother she was being sent to Tampa for work and would be back in a few days. Later, she said she was going on a "mini-vacation" with friends and taking Caylee with her. Cindy Anthony never thought much of it.

Casey Anthony told detectives she worked at Universal Studios and identified people who could vouch for her -- another lie. The apartment Casey Anthony identified as the place she left her child with Gonzalez in June has been vacant for five months.

"I had no reason to believe they weren't where they were supposed to be," Cindy Anthony said. "I don't know why she fabricated this."

Now, Cindy Anthony finds solace in her missing granddaughter's bedroom -- a place where she goes to hold on to the girl's favorite teddy bear and pray.

"I've found a lot of peace here the last few days," Cindy Anthony said. "There's an emptiness in my heart because she's not here."

Anyone with information about Caylee can call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

Stench In Car May Be Clue In Missing Toddler's Disappearance

POSTED: 4:19 pm EDT July 18, 2008
UPDATED: 6:05 pm EDT July 18, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The search for Caylee Anthony in her grandparents' backyard turned out to be a dead end Friday, but a strong smell has led investigators to focus on an Orange County parking lot and a car that was found there.

The car was parked in a lot near State Road 50 and Goldenrod Road (see map) for a few days earlier this week. A business owner had it towed and it turned out to be Caylee's grandparents' car, one the toddler's mother drives.

The car or the parking lot might hold the only clues right now. Channel 9 has learned investigators came back to square one again Friday afternoon and searched for possible evidence at the place where Caylee Marie Anthony's mother had, for some reason, abandoned her car earlier this week.

While they didn't find anything at the parking lot, sources told Eyewitness News they might be finding clues in the white, 1998 Pontiac GT that Caylee's mother Casey left in the east Orange County parking lot. Eyewitness News has learned there was a stench in the car, which could indicate evidence of a body, but sources said investigators don't have any more than that to go on and they haven't figured out what the stench was from.

"We get information that comes in that sometimes suggests one thing, sometimes suggests another," Sgt. John Allen said Friday.

Friday morning, investigators brought cadaver dogs in to comb through Caylee's grandparents' backyard (see map) looking for anything that might explain what happened to her, all because a neighbor told them Caylee's mother had borrowed his shovel about a month or so ago, around the time she told investigators Caylee had disappeared.

Caylee's grandmother, Cynthia Anthony, said the shovel was for yard work and said Casey didn't have keys to the family tool shed.

"We have bamboo growing in our backyard. The only way to get rid of it is to use a shovel," Cynthia told Eyewitness News.

One of the dogs seemed to pick up on something, so police thoroughly searched the yard, under a playhouse, in the bushes and found nothing Friday.

"I got sick initially, because you get that thought, what if, but we knew deep inside there can't be anythiing wrong here," said grandfather George Anthony.

"If I have to go out myself, door to door, and look for this child, until the day I die, I will walk every inch of this earth and open every door and knock on every door everyday and I will look in every nook and cranny," Cynthia said.

The pair says they have faith in their daughter and are paying for her attorney.

Investigators, too, remained optimistic Friday.

"We're going to continue working in hopes that we find her alive, we find her alive and safe and sound," Allen said.

Caylee's mother apparently abandoned her car in the parking lot earlier in the week. When Caylee's grandparents found out two or three days later, it was then they also found out Caylee was missing and asked the sheriff's office to investigate. It is unclear, though, why Casey left her car sitting in the parking lot.

Casey Anthony's lawyer has said his client is cooperating with investigators, although investigators say that's not necessarily true. Attorney Jose Baez said Anthony has even volunteered to help investigators develop a composite sketch of the babysitter, with whom she insists she left her daughter with on June 9, the last time Casey saw Caylee. Detectives say the child's father died in a car accident.

Anthony is being held in the Orange County jail in protective custody, which means she doesn't have contact with other inmates. She's being held on a charge of child neglect, a third degree felony. She's also charged with making false official statements, which are misdemeanors. Prosecutors have 33 days to file formal charges.

Friends say Casey Anthony frequented nightclubs and most recently did events planning for a local entertainment company. She was a member of the Travel and Tourism Club when she attended Colonial High School.

Web Sites Give Glimpse Of Arrested Mother's Life, Family Problems
POSTED: 12:23 pm EDT July 17, 2008
UPDATED: 11:40 am EDT July 18, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Since news of Casey Anthony's arrest broke, Eyewitness News has been working to find out more about the young mother. She has had no prior run-ins with the law, but online social networking websites do offer a glimpse into her life.

Many of Casey Anthony's friends and family maintain online pages and that includes Anthony's own mother, Cynthia. On her MySpace page, she describes intense love for her daughter and the missing granddaughter, but there's also evidence of the problems that crept into their relationship.

As news of Casey's arrest broke, Eyewitness News did some digging and found a number of photos of her out on the town on social networking sites. Little Caylee never appears in any of them.

Friends told Eyewitness News that Casey used several nannies to care for her daughter, but they weren't sure how she got the money to pay for them.

On the MySpace page set up by Cynthia Anthony, Casey's mother and the grandmother of the missing child, she lists her mood as "distraught." In one of her blog postings, she details the sometimes strained relationship she has with Casey.

"What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills," her blog posting reads.

According to more from that posting, Casey Anthony had also apparently criticized her mother for being too controlling and not giving her enough space.

Many of the online profiles have been closed off from pubic view since news of Caylee's disappearance broke. Casey Anthony's brother took control of his sister's MySpace page and it has been turned into a message board seeking tips about the girl's disappearance.

Did anyone happen to capture Casey's myspace page before her brother cleaned it up and dedicated it to Caylee?
Not yet, but I did find this tidbit that Casey apparently wrote:

On one of the MySpace.com pages regarding Caylee, there is a blog, apparently from Casey Anthony, called the Diary of Days, which was posted on July 7. It reads, in part:

"On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken

Trust no one, Only yourself.

With great power, comes great consequence.

What is given, Can be taken away.

Everyone Lies.

Everyone Dies."

The babysitter. ZG

I know that police contacted a ZG but was a different person. She didn't know Casey or caylee and Casey said that wasn't her, they showed her a pic.

This is odd. "They confirmed that the apartment the defendant mentioned had been vacant for 142 days Dave Turner let me into the apartment and I confirmed it was vacant. They ran several names in their system and found
a Zenaida Gonzalez who had come to look at an apartment on April 17th. She was never a tenant. They gave me a "guest card" completed by Zenaida Gonzalez which contained her cell phone number."

It's from the arrest affidavit. Somehow Casey knew that ZG exists and looked at that apt.

Investigators have questioned a Zenaida Gonzalez who said she had never met Anthony or Caylee. Detectives are looking for others with the same name.

Detectives later located a woman named Gonzalez, but she did not recognize the mother or daughter from pictures.

Deputies showed Casey Anthony a picture of Gonzalez and she admitted not recognizing the woman.

Here are some of the lies that investigators say Casey Marie Anthony told about the disappearance of her daughter Caylee Marie:

Lie: She last saw 2-year-old Caylee on June 9 after leaving her with a baby sitter at an apartment on South Conway Road.

Truth: That apartment had been vacant since Feb. 29.

Lie: Caylee's baby sitter, Zenaida Gonzalez, had been a family friend for four years and cared for Caylee for 18 months.

Truth: Contacted by detectives, a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez told them she never met Anthony or her missing child.

Lie: Anthony investigated Caylee's disappearance for a month instead of calling 911.

Truth: Two of Anthony's boyfriends told detectives she never acted upset or mentioned her daughter's disappearance.

Lie: Anthony claimed she had been so concerned she told two co-workers at Universal Studios her child had disappeared.

Truth: Neither person she named works at Universal.

Lie: She claimed she worked full time at Universal Studios -- the reason she needed a baby sitter.

Truth: Theme-park officials said Thursday that Anthony has never been an employee.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office arrested Anthony, 22, late Wednesday on charges of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.

"Based on the repetitive lies that the defendant has told, we do not know with whom the child is or even if the child is alive," wrote Cpl. Yuri Melich of the missing-persons unit. "As I received information, and relayed it to the defendant after her arrest, she continued to claim ignorance and, at times, laughed about the situation. She failed to show any outward signs of remorse or concern for her missing two-year-old daughter."

List of area's missing toddlers grows longer

Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writer
July 18, 2008

Eleven-month-old Ta'Niyah Leonard went missing almost six years ago.

Trenton Duckett was 2 when he disappeared in August 2006.

Now, 2-year-old Caylee Anthony has joined the list of missing Central Florida toddlers considered endangered.

"There are a lot of missing children, but very few very young missing children," said David Finkelhor, a professor and director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center in New Hampshire. Finkelhor said if a young child has not been taken by a family member -- such as in child-custody disputes -- the cases are often homicides.

About 50,000 children are reported missing in Florida each year. Nationally, the number climbs to more than 750,000.

Ta'Niyah Leonard was reported missing in October 2002. Her mother, Miranda Jones, told police the last time she saw her daughter was when she dropped the girl off at her father's apartment. Ta'Niyah's father, Michael Lewis, told police Jones picked up the infant the next morning, and he has not seen the baby since. Neither parent has been arrested in the case.

Leesburg police investigating Trenton Duckett's disappearance say the toddler's mother, Melinda Duckett, staged an abduction and then killed herself. Duckett remains the primary suspect in her son's disappearance.

Thursday, Trenton's father, Joshua Duckett, visited Caylee Anthony's family to offer his assistance. "I've been through it myself," he said. "There's no reason anybody should be without their 2-year-old."

Caylee Possibly Outside Central Florida
Saturday, 19 Jul 2008

By Melissa DiPane
FOX 35 NEWS

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Could Caylee be in one of four cities outside of central Florida?

Thats what Casey Anthonys attorney, Jose Baez believes. Friday he said based on what Casey told him Caylee could be in Miami, Charlotte N.C., New York City or Brooklyn, New York.

He wouldnt go as far as saying shes been kidnapped but said the person or people who have her could possibly be found in those cities because caylee didnt just leave on her own.

VIDEO: --Mom's Lawyer Speaks

Its been 37 days since anyone has seen little Caylee. One of the few people who might know where she is and who shes with-her mom Casey-- is behind bars.

Baez says that is holding back the investigation.

I think her detention is hampering the search how can the police bounce evidence and leads and leads with her while shes sitting in jail its counter productive, he said.

Baez filed a motion Thursday asking a judge to grant Anthony bond so she can help detectives in the search for her daughter.

With the search reaching critical mass, we wanted to know why Casey didnt tell the truth when investigators asked her for information.

Baez says When all the facts come out it will be a little more understandable as to why where was a delay in time in this case.

Mom Staying Mum On Whereabouts Of Caylee
Friday, July 18, 2008


ORLANDO -- One conflicting story after another has created major obstacles for investigators trying to find Caylee Anthony.

News 13 spoke to University of Central Florida Criminal Justice Professor David Fabianic who said there are other high profile cases involving missing children, and mothers who lied to detectives.

He said there are some telltale signs that could lead investigators to believe Casey Anthony had something to do with the disappearance of her child.

"You have apparent disregard for the disappearance of this child. You have a five week period and she doesn't seem to be very moved by that. And this suggests something called consciousness of guilt," said Fabianic.

Fabianic said Casey Anthony's apparent indifference to the loss of her child could mean one of three things: 1) she is suffering from psychosis, 2) she is in shock over a traumatic event, or 3) she is hiding something.

Right now Anthony is being held at the Orange County Jail without bond, and has been ordered to undergo a mental evaluation.

Orange County detectives are working to track down dozens of tips in their search for missing 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony.

Crimeline has been fielding calls since news broke of the toddler's disappearance earlier this week. Family members haven't seen the girl since early June.

On Friday, crime-scene technicians dug for the second day in a row in the backyard of the family's Lee Vista home on Hopespring Drive. Authorities used cadaver dogs but turned up nothing, detectives said.

A neighbor alerted authorities that Caylee's 22-year-old mom, Casey Anthony, had borrowed a shovel about a month ago. Detectives removed a shovel from the neighbor's house.

"We're not giving up that Caylee is still alive," said Sgt. John Allen of the Orange County Sheriff's Office child-abuse unit.

Cindy Anthony said she reported her hazel-eyed granddaughter missing on Tuesday when she learned Caylee had not been seen since June 9.

Detectives have received about 40 tips since Wednesday night, said Barb Bergin, a law-enforcement coordinator at Crimeline.

Allen wouldn't discuss the tips, but said investigators were searching for the girl in more than one place.

Casey Anthony told investigators she dropped her child off with a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez on June 9. When she returned later, they were both gone. So far, investigators have not been able to find the woman who Casey Anthony said last had the girl.

Casey Anthony was arrested Wednesday night on charges of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation. She remains in the Orange County Jail without bond.

Her attorney, Jose Baez, lambasted the Sheriff's Office on Friday for its efforts to locate Caylee.

"Police really haven't been looking for [Gonzalez]," Baez said. "They've been digging in the grandparents' backyard."
Anyone with information about Caylee can call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

Caylee Search Hits Street
Saturday, July 19, 2008 8:40:25 AM


Defense Claims Other Suspects

ORLANDO -- Family members of Caylee Anthony took to the streets Saturday, hoping the public will be able to aid in their search for the missing 2-year-old.

Caylee's grandparents are handing out fliers, hoping anyone will have information on the girl's whereabouts.

The family also released new home video of Caylee reading with her family.

The search for Caylee Anthony continues Friday, just days after learning the 2-year-old had been missing for more than a month.

The focus of the search Thursday turned to the backyard of Caylee's grandparents' home, on Hopespring Drive, where Caylee and her mother lived before the toddler disappeared in June.

Investigators brought out digging equipment and search dogs to home's backyard on Thursday. Detectives also removed items from the home Thursday, and also took a shovel from a neighbor's home.

They suspended their search in the backyard Friday afternoon.

Although they are no longer searching at the home, deputies said their search continues.

"Although we're here and y'all are here, we actually have detectives in other places following up on other leads. So it's important that everybody understand that we want to keep it out there in the public. That if anybody has information about where Caylee is, if they'd contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office," said Sgt. John Allen from Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said Caylee's grandparents are being extremely cooperative in the investigation, saying they just want to find Caylee.


Anthony’s Lawyer Says There Are Other Suspects In The Case

Right now questions are being raised as to whether Casey Anthony had anything to do with her daughter's disappearance.

For the first time, we're hearing from Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, who said there are other suspects in the case.

In addition, Baez said he plans to reveal evidence that will exonerate Anthony once they get their time in court.

Meanwhile, a motion was filed Thursday to get her bonded out of jail after a judge denied her first request this week.

He said Anthony has undergone psychological counseling while behind bars, but mental illness is not a factor in her defense.

Baez said Anthony's first priority is finding her daughter, despite some sensationalized media reports.

"She's doing her best to keep it together and to assist in any way she possibly can because now is not the time to lose it,” said Baez. “She needs her composure and her ability to think so it can best help Caylee."

Baez said he is outraged that Anthony is still in jail considering she has not been charged in connection with her daughter's disappearance or harming her in any way.

Caylee's grandparents plan flier distribution today

Mike Lafferty | Education Editor
10:09 AM EDT, July 19, 2008

Caylee Anthony's grandparents are planning to hand out fliers this morning to get the public's help in finding their missing granddaughter, 2-year-old Caylee.

Grandparents Cindy and George Anthony planned to be at the Publix at Lake Underhill and Chickasaw Roads this morning to hand out fliers that show two images of the little girl, along with a description and an appeal for people with information to call the Orange County Sheriff's Office or Crimeline.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is in jail, charged with child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.

Caylee hasn't been seen since June 9. Questioned about what happened, her mother gave investigators information that turned out to be false

Lie #1: Casey Anthony told detectives that she last saw 2-year-old Caylee after dropping her off at Sawgrass Apartments #210 on South Conway Road (see map) on June 9, but the apartment has been vacant since February.

Lie #2: Casey told detectives that she's an event planner at Universal Studios. They brought her to the park telling her they were hoping to find clues in her locker. She told security she had lost her identification and then led investigators on a long walk through the park until she finally admitted she was fired two years ago.

Lie #3: Casey told detectives Caylee's babysitter had once lived in an apartment building in Orlando, which they found is for seniors only. It is across the street from her friend's home, where she even stayed after Caylee disappeared.

"I am very, very close to the family. I was close to Casey," Amy Huizenga told Eyewitness News.

They were close, she said, until she recently accused Casey of stealing more than $700.

"I'm very worried for the child. Why not? She's been missing for a month. There's no reason not to be worried for this kid. I love her a lot. She's a great girl," she said.

Lie #4: Casey claims a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez is Caylee's longtime babysitter. When investigators talked to Gonzalez, she told them she doesn't know the Anthonys and has never been a babysitter.

Lie #5: Investigators say, during the time after Casey claims Caylee disappeared with the babysitter, she told her boyfriend Caylee was with the "nanny" at Disney.

According to the police report, Casey admitted up to lying about working at Universal and to everything else except one. She still insists she dropped Caylee off at the Sawgrass Apartments unit for the babysitter.

Lawyer for Missing Florida Toddler's Mother Suggests Little Caylee Might Be Out of State

Saturday, July 19, 2008

A 2-year-old missing for more than a month may no longer be in central Florida and could even have been taken out of state, her mother's attorney said.

Casey Marie Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, suggested his client's toddler daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, might be in Miami; Charlotte, N.C.; or even New York City, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.

• Click here to view video.

• Click here to view photos.

Baez did not explain why he believes the child might be outside the area where she lived. He said the investigation into Caylee's disappearance has been hindered by her 22-year-old mother's imprisonment.

"I think her detention is actually hampering the search," Baez told MyFOXOrlando.com. "It's just counterproductive."

Orange County detectives spent Friday digging through the backyard of Caylee's grandparents, Cindy and George Anthony, in hopes of turning up clues in the child's disappearance.

Cadaver dogs were at the scene, and several items were removed from the Orlando home, which became the focus of the investigation after a neighbor said Casey Anthony had borrowed a shovel about a month ago. Police found and took the shovel as evidence.

"This is difficult, tedious work," sheriff's Sgt. John Allen, who oversees the department's child abuse and missing persons division, told reporters during a press briefing Friday. "Just because we’re here with cadaver dogs doesn’t mean we’re giving up hope that Caylee is alive."

Allen said they have not found signs of the girl in the yard but it is only "one of several places we're looking." He would not elaborate.

Casey Anthony has been in custody since Wednesday, when she finally told authorities the child was missing. A day earlier, Caylee's grandparents filed a report after learning their daughter's car had been towed from a location that was nowhere near where she claimed to be staying.

The little girl lived in the house with her mother and grandparents until June 9, when Casey said she vanished.

"When all of the facts come out, it will be a little bit more understandable as to why there was a delay in time in this case," Baez told MyFOXOrlando.com.

Caylee's grandparents had been "very cooperative" in the investigation, according to Allen; the sheriff's office said the search of their property in no way implicated them in the case.

"It's very clear to us that they want their granddaughter back," Allen said.

Cindy Anthony said she wants the focus for now to be on finding little Caylee, not on her daughter's arrest.

"I will look in every nook and cranny until I find her," she told MyFOXOrlando.com, breaking down in tears. "I know in my heart that she's alive."

The hunt for evidence began Thursday night but stopped when darkness fell, resuming Friday morning. Detectives found "abnormalities" in the dirt that caused them to be suspicious, according to MyFOXOrlando.com. They searched for much of the day, suspending their efforts in the afternoon.

Described by friends as a "habitual" and "compulsive" liar, Casey Anthony told investigators that she dropped Caylee off with a friend on June 9. Authorities have been unable to locate that woman or verify anything else Anthony told them.

The FBI told FOXNews.com that the bureau is aware of the case but is not playing a part in the probe.

"We're definitely aware of it and monitoring the situation, but that's the extent of our involvement," said Special Agent Dave Couvertier, a spokesman for the Orlando and Tampa FBI.

Orange County Sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said the grandparents' property on Hopespring Drive is central to the investigation, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Allen said sheriffs spent several hours with Casey Anthony after her arrest, but procedural regulations have barred them from interviewing her further in jail without her attorney.

Neighbor Diana Centeno, whose children have played with Caylee in the past, called the situation "scary," according to the Sentinel. She said she hoped Casey Anthony didn't have anything to do with the toddler's disappearance.

Anthony was arrested Wednesday on charges of child neglect and providing false information to law enforcement. She showed no emotion Thursday as she was ordered held without bond at the Orange County Jail.

The judge scolded the mother, saying she had "no regret or concern for her actions," the Sentinel reported.

"You left your 2-year-old child with a person who does not exist at an apartment you cannot identify and you lied to your parents about your child's whereabouts," Judge John Jordan said. "You cared so little about your child."

He ordered a mental health evaluation be done on Anthony, according to the newspaper.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department told FOXNews.com that they have no reason to believe the toddler is dead.

"[We are] still operating under the hope she is going to turn up alive," Deputy Sheriff Carlos Padilla said Thursday.

Padilla said Anthony claims the child's father is dead — something authorities are still looking into.

Investigators said their job has been made more difficult because Anthony continues to spin stories that aren't true.

"Based on the repetitive lies that the defendant has told, we do not know with whom the child is or even if the child is alive," sheriff's Cpl. Yuri Melich wrote in the arrest affidavit, according to the Sentinel. "It should be noted that at no time during any of the above interviews did the defendant show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child."

Anthony told her mother that she was being sent to Tampa for work and would be back in a few days, but later changed her story and said she was going on a "mini-vacation," according to the Sentinel.

"I had no reason to believe they weren't where they were supposed to be," Cindy Anthony told the newspaper. "I don't know why she fabricated this."

It was not clear why Casey Anthony didn't report her daughter missing earlier.

"I’ve had the feeling the past couple of weeks that Casey's been holding back," Cindy Anthony told MyFOXOrlando.com. "I’ve been asking to speak with my granddaughter and she’s been making excuses that I can't talk to her because she’s with someone else or she’s swimming or napping."

Casey Anthony told police that her daughter wasn't at the baby sitter's house when she went to pick the child up, so she started to do her own investigation.

She went to clubs that the baby sitter frequented and identified her as Zenaida Gonzalez, police said. But when detectives went to the apartment Anthony said belonged to the alleged baby sitter, they learned it had been vacant for almost five months, the newspaper reported.

Once detectives caught up with Gonzalez and showed her pictures of both Anthony and Caylee, Gonzalez said she didn't recognize them.

George Anthony said his daughter wouldn't hurt Caylee.

"My daughter is a fantastic mother," he told FOX News. "She was nurturing, she always did the right thing. ... I never once saw my daughter raise her voice."

Allen said police want to keep the case in the public eye, and are following up on numerous leads that have come in because of the media coverage.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone who has seen Caylee to call the crime line at 1-800-423-TIPS.

Thats what Casey Anthonys attorney, Jose Baez believes. Friday he said based on what Casey told him Caylee could be in Miami, Charlotte N.C., New York City or Brooklyn, New York.

He wouldnt go as far as saying shes been kidnapped but said the person or people who have her could possibly be found in those cities because caylee didnt just leave on her own.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A search for a 2-year-old girl led investigators near the back yard of the house of the toddler, her mother and the child's grandparents Thursday.

Caylee Anthony has brown hair and hazel eyes and stands about 3 feet tall. The girl has been missing for more than a month, but it was only reported Tuesday.

Sources have told WESH 2 News that K9s and crime scene investigators are at the scene digging near the family's home in East Orlando. Neighbors led investigators to the back yard and told them that they recently saw Anthony at the home without her parents.

Investigators also removed a shovel covered with a paper bag from a neighbor's home earlier on Thursday afternoon.


The toddler's mother, Casey Anthony, 22, said she dropped off her daughter with a friend and babysitter on June 9 and hasn't heard from her since. Investigators later deduced that no one had lived in that apartment for almost five months. They also said they spoke with a Zenaida Gonzalez, the alleged babysitter, and she said she has never met Anthony or Caylee and has never baby-sat for anyone. Anthony said she did not report her daughter missing because she wanted to find the child herself to spare her parents the sadness of their grandchild being missing.


Anthony was arrested Wednesday night and has been a focus in the search and investigation in the case. She made a first appearance in court on Thursday on child neglect charges. The arrest was made after authorities said the child's grandmother called deputies to report the toddler missing.


Earlier on Thursday, investigators removed a computer hard drive from the Anthonys around the same time a judge was conducting Anthony's first court appearance. The judge scolded the young mother for her apparent lack of cooperation in the investigators' attempts to find her daughter.


"You left your child with someone who doesn't exist at an apartment you cannot identify. You lied to your parents. It appears you care so little for your child you didn't report her missing until five weeks later," Judge John Jordan said.


"All I want is to put the word out and show her picture as many places as we can," grandmother Cindy Anthony said.


Cindy Anthony said finding the girl is where the focus needs to be. She said Casey Anthony told her she was going to Tampa for a job. She said she talked to the toddler on the phone around July 11.


"As every hour passes, I get a little bit more nervous," she said.


"It's not about my daughter or what part or role she has played in any of this this, if anything. It's about bringing this little girl home," she said.


"At this point, we don't have any information that the child has been spoken to by the grandparents in some time. The child's grandparents have been very cooperative with us. They seem very concerned about their granddaughter. I think more than anybody they would like us to find that child and return the child to them," Sgt. John Allen of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.


Detectives said Anthony claimed she lost track of the babysitter and her own child.


"The most important step for us at this point is to try to find the missing girl. You know, is she out there with somebody? If so, where is she?" Allen said.


In an arrest report, investigators said Casey Anthony told friends repeatedly that her child was with a nanny. They said Casey Anthony has told them "repetitive lies."


While her 2-year-old is missing, detectives claimed Casey Anthony has "laughed at the situation" and failed to show any outward signs of remorse or concern. That's why they want her held without bond until the child is located.


"She's a 2-year-old child, and nobody knows where she is," Allen said.


The arrest report indicated a friend of the mother contacted authorities and told them he spent the weekend with Casey Anthony in late June, and at that time, according to the friend and the arrest report, the child was with a nanny.


In addition to confiscating Anthony's computer, investigators said they plan to scour Anthony's car for any clues on the child's whereabouts.


Anthony agreed to take detectives to Universal Studios, where she claimed to work, so they could speak to her co-workers, but while leading them to her alleged office, she stopped in the middle of a hallway and admitted to them she lied and no longer worked there.


Investigators said the best-case scenario at this point may be that the mother gave the child away or possibly even sold her. A judge ordered a mental-health evaluation for Casey Anthony on Thursday, and she is being held without bond.


Allen said the child's father has not been located, but many leads have come in.


Several Web sites through MySpace have been set up to help locate Caylee Anthony with phone numbers to call if anyone has information about her whereabouts.


Casey Anthony is being held without bond in a cell by herself and is expected to be transferred into protective custody because of the high-profile nature of the case.

Anthony's Attorney Says People Don't Have Facts

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony hired defense attorney Jose Baez to take on her now high-profile case in which officials are searching for her 2-year-old daughter.

Baez said he believes investigators and even the judge crossed the line trying the case in the media.

"She's public enemy one right now and everyone just can't understand because they don't have all the facts right now," Baez said.

Investigators have labeled Anthony as a habitual liar, saying she is not cooperating and giving mixed statements in the search, but her attorney said no one should jump to conclusions just yet.

"Right now one side is pointing the finger, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the other person doesn't have reasonable explanations for what's going on," Baez said. "There is a very reasonable explanation for her actions and after discussing it with her, it's not as crazy and farfetched as it's being portrayed at this time."

Baez wouldn't say much about his client's side to the story, but he said Anthony believes Caylee is alive and could be with a baby sitter -- even though investigators don't believe that.

"There is a baby sitter that we are looking for. We are going to continue searching. My office has begun an investigation and we are going to look in areas where the police didn't," Baez said.

"We do have some indications of some certain places that we would like people to be aware of, and that is Miami, New York City, Brooklyn, New York and Charlotte, North Carolina," Baez said. "She is still filled with hope because she still feels that her daughter is alive and that is what keeps her going and what keeps her strong."

Baez said Casey Anthony told him that the baby sitter Caylee is allegedly with has ties in the above cities. Investigators said, if she has that kind of information, she should be talking with detectives.

Baez has filed a new motion in hopes of securing bond for Anthony as soon as possible.

Search For Caylee Continues

2-year-old Caylee Anthony has been missing for more than a month

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Police have roped off the yard of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony’s grandparents. Investigators will continue their search and dig of the property.

Some neighbor’s lots have been roped off as well. On Thursday, police were digging and poking the ground, looking for loose dirt under the surface for any clues about the child’s whereabouts.
Police said so far, they have confiscated a shovel from a neighbor of the grandparents. Casey, Caylee's mother, is said to have borrowed the shovel recently for unknown reasons.

Casey is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.

The 22-year-old mom went before Judge John Jordan Thursday morning showing no emotion about her missing daughter.

Caylee went missing on June 9th. However, Casey didn't report the child missing. She told deputies that she dropped off Caylee to a friend, who is also a babysitter. She says she lost contact with that babysitter.

Investigators don't know for sure if Casey is lying about the babysitter or if that person even exists, so they are continuing to try and locate her.

The 2-year-old's grandparents are the ones who had to call the Orange county Sheriffs Office to report the little girl missing.

On Thursday, Judge Jordan denied Casey Anthony bond. He also issued a mental health screening. He told her that she is not to have any unsupervised contact with anyone under 17 years of age.

The judge also mentioned that the arrest report stated she showed no remorse for the disappearance of her child. Caylee wasn't reported missing until 5 weeks after her disappearance. At the end of the hearing, Judge Jordan told Casey, "Keep this question in mind...where's Caylee Anthony?

http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7006832&version=1&locale=EN-US

When detectives questioned the mother, she showed no signs of concern.

Investigators say the last time anyone saw Caylee was June 9th. That is when her mom claims she dropped the girl off at a babysitters at the Sawgrass Apartments on Conway Road.

On Tuesday Casey’s parents had a feeling something was wrong. They received notice Casey’s car had been towed, and it was no where near where she told her parents she was staying. There was also no sign of Caylee.

Cynthia Anthony, Casey’s mom she said she’s had concerns for weeks.

“I’ve had the feeling the past couple of weeks that Caseys been holding back,” she said. “I’ve been asking to speak with my granddaughter and she’s been making excuses that I cant talk to her because she’s with someone else or she’s swimming or napping.”

Orange County detectives say Casey has not been helpful in the investigation. In fact they’ve caught her in a number of lies.

That’s made things very difficult in this case; investigators said they’ve wasted so much time and effort investigating false statements.

According to the Orange County Sheriffs charging affidavit, friends of Casey Anthony said in a sworn statement she is a habitual liar. They state she told them on different occasions that Caylee was with a nanny.

Now they need the publics help. They consider Caylee missing and endangered.

The Anthony’s don’t believe their daughter would hurt her little girl but are eager for her safe return.

Investigators have asked that the mom be held with no bond because according to the affidavit “She failed to show any sign of remorse or concern over her missing two year old daughter.”

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public if anyone has seen Caylee and Casey together, or if anyone has seen Caylee Marie Anthony in the company of another since June 9th, 2008 please contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office or Crimeline at 1 800 423-TIPS (8477).

100 Leads Actively Pursued For Missing Girl; Caylee Just Called, Says Grandmother
Mother Remains Quiet On Child's Location

POSTED: 12:22 am EDT July 20, 2008
UPDATED: 1:31 am EDT July 20, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Investigators are actively pursuing about 100 leads -- even tips from other states -- in the search for a missing 2-year-old Central Florida girl.

Caylee Marie Anthony, 2, has been missing for five weeks but was not reported lost by her mother, Casey Anthony, 22, detectives said.

Over the weekend, deputies continued to try to piece together conflicting stories to determine what happened to Caylee.

Casey Anthony has remained quiet concerning the girl's location.

Girl Called This Week, Grandmother Says

Meanwhile, Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she believes the missing girl called her mother the day the 22-year-old was arrested, Local 6 reported. She said she is convinced the child is still alive.

"Casey got a phone call (saying) 'Hi mommy' for just a brief second," Anthony said. "And when Casey said, 'Put an adult on the phone Caylee,' the phone went dead.'"

Anthony said she believes her daughter would only put her granddaughter in the care of someone who would really take care of her.

"I know Casey knows who has her," Anthony said. "I'm dying inside every day, every minute and every second not having Caylee in my life and I know these guys are too and I know Casey is as well."

Police took Anthony into custody Wednesday when she refused to lead them to her daughter.

"She is fearful of something," Anthony said. "She doesn't want to hurt me or have me hurt mentally or physically about something. But I know with her calm demeanor that she is confident that Caylee is alive."

Family members said Caylee is probably in the care of somebody she is comfortable with.

Friday, crews dug in the back yard of the home of Cindy and George Anthony, located on Hopepring Drive in Orlando. However, the search was abandoned.

The investigation has shifted to Anthony's car and different locations.

"We are running this investigation in several different directions," Orange County sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said.

On Wednesday, Anthony told detectives that she was doing her own investigation into her daughter's disappearance, Local 6 reported.

The woman also said she saw movies and reports that if people in similar situations went to the police, they had gotten hurt.

During questioning, detectives said Anthony did not show any emotion over the loss of her child. She did not cry or give any indication she was legitimately worried.

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Caylee is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Where is Caylee Marie?
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/commu...,2486087.story

'We implore everyone to get the word out,' uncle pleads
Gabrielle Finley | Sentinel Staff Writer
July 20, 2008
Family, friends and volunteers beat the pavement Saturday to distribute fliers in hopes of finding 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony, who has been missing more than a month.

Meanwhile, Orange County sheriff's detectives have found a car seat and are sifting for more clues in an abandoned car that belongs to the missing toddler's grandmother. The woman at the center of the case, the child's mother, remains in jail, and an official said Saturday that she has had no visits from family members since her arrest Wednesday.

Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, told the Sentinel that she received a letter informing her that the car was found abandoned and had been towed. The white 1998 Pontiac was towed June 30 from an Amscot Financial store at Colonial Drive and Goldenrod Road, said sheriff's spokesman Carlos Padilla.

"It had been with the wrecker a while before the family found out," Padilla said.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, had been using the car to get around, records show. Cindy Anthony said she questioned her daughter about Caylee's whereabouts when she received the letter from the tow company.

She reported her granddaughter missing Tuesday when she learned from her daughter that Caylee had not been seen since June 9.

Details on what kind of clues the car holds were not available, but Padilla said a child's car seat was found in the Pontiac.

Casey Anthony, 22, has been charged in connection with her daughter's disappearance. She has told investigators she left her daughter with a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez on June 9. But investigators have been unable to find Gonzalez.

On Friday, crime-scene technicians halted their search in the backyard of Cindy Anthony's Lee Vista home on Hopespring Drive, where Casey and her daughter also lived.

Cadaver dogs were sent to sniff out the backyard, but nothing was found and detectives have moved elsewhere in their search.

Padilla said Casey Anthony is the key to finding Caylee, who turns 3 next month.

"What really would break this case is if the mother would just tell us the truth: Where is Caylee?" he said.

Since June, Casey Anthony could be seen at the Fusian Ultra Lounge in the Waterford Lakes area almost every Friday night, Fusian owner Bruce Lam said. She recently dated Anthony Lazzaro, a promoter for the club, he said.

"I had no idea she had a kid," Lam said. "I thought she was a typical college kid. All the promoters were cool kids. I was very surprised."

Casey Anthony was arrested Wednesday night on charges of child neglect, providing false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation. Sheriff's detectives have said she repeatedly lied to investigators when she was questioned.

Caylee's uncle, Lee Anthony, would not comment Saturday on anything to do with his sister or the investigation. He said his family and friends were focused on one thing: spreading the word about Caylee's disappearance.

"We're not talking about the investigation or anything else ongoing, except for how we are effectively getting the word out," he said.

About two dozen friends and volunteers gathered at Publix at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail to pass out fliers.

Joshua Duckett, the Lake County man whose son Trenton has been missing nearly two years, also joined in.

Small teams also were passing out fliers at the University of Central Florida, in the Conway area, in downtown Orlando, at large retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target and at major intersections.

Kid Finders Network, an organization in West Palm Beach that aids the search for missing kids, said companies have donated fliers and are working to put together a mobile billboard detailing Caylee's disappearance. It will start rolling across Orlando on Tuesday morning, said executive director Sherri Milstead.

"We realize this is not only touching the lives of people in our community, but nationwide," Lee Anthony said. "We implore everyone to get the word out in their area. There's no limit to the places we need to go to right now."

Mysterious Phone Call Gives Grandparents Hope Toddler Is Still Alive

POSTED: 4:19 pm EDT July 18, 2008
UPDATED: 9:59 am EDT July 20, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The grandparents of a missing 2-year-old say the child's mother got a mysterious phone call a day before she was arrested and charged with felony child neglect. That call gives them hope that Caylee Anthony is still alive.

"Casey got a phone call, 'Hi, Mommy?' Casey said, 'Put an adult on the phone Caylee.' The phone went dead," said Cynthia Anthony.

Cynthia is Casey's mother and Caylee's grandmother. Investigators have been on an all-out search for Caylee Anthony since she was reported missing last week. They have arrested her mother, Casey, on child neglect charges and say she has told them a string of lies about where her child may be.

The Anthonys say they're sure Casey is telling the truth about that phone call despite lies to law enforcement.

"We don't know why she's been misleading them (law enforcement)," said Cynthia.

Cynthia believes if someone took Caylee, that person might have threatened Casey, the toddler or her family. She also feels Casey knows that person.

"And she feels compelled to put the blame on herself than some other person," said Cynthia. "That's the type of person Casey is."

Investigators did not release many new details about the case, Saturday, other than to say that weeks after Casey Anthony last saw her daughter, Casey got a tattoo that says "Bella Vida" in honor of her daughter.

Investigators did not release further details about a car they had been searching, Friday.

A strong smell led investigators to focus on an Orange County parking lot and a car that was found there.

The car was parked in a lot near State Road 50 and Goldenrod Road (see map) for a few days earlier this week. A business owner had it towed and it turned out to be Caylee's grandparents' car, one the toddler's mother drives.

The car or the parking lot might hold the only clues right now. Channel 9 has learned investigators came back to square one again Friday afternoon and searched for possible evidence at the place where Caylee Marie Anthony's mother had, for some reason, abandoned her car earlier this week.

While they didn't find anything at the parking lot, sources told Eyewitness News they might be finding clues in the white, 1998 Pontiac GT that Caylee's mother Casey left in the east Orange County parking lot. Eyewitness News has learned there was a stench in the car, which could indicate evidence of a body, but sources said investigators don't have any more than that to go on and they haven't figured out what the stench was from.

"We get information that comes in that sometimes suggests one thing, sometimes suggests another," Sgt. John Allen said Friday.

Friday morning, investigators brought cadaver dogs in to comb through Caylee's grandparents' backyard (see map) looking for anything that might explain what happened to her, all because a neighbor told them Caylee's mother had borrowed his shovel about a month or so ago, around the time she told investigators Caylee had disappeared.

Caylee's grandmother, Cynthia Anthony, said the shovel was for yard work and said Casey didn't have keys to the family tool shed.

"We have bamboo growing in our backyard. The only way to get rid of it is to use a shovel," Cynthia told Eyewitness News.

One of the dogs seemed to pick up on something, so police thoroughly searched the yard, under a playhouse, in the bushes and found nothing Friday.

"I got sick initially, because you get that thought, what if, but we knew deep inside there can't be anything wrong here," said grandfather George Anthony.

"If I have to go out myself, door to door, and look for this child, until the day I die, I will walk every inch of this earth and open every door and knock on every door everyday and I will look in every nook and cranny," Cynthia said.

The pair says they have faith in their daughter and are paying for her attorney.

Investigators, too, remained optimistic Friday.

"We're going to continue working in hopes that we find her alive, we find her alive and safe and sound," Allen said.

Caylee's mother apparently abandoned her car in the parking lot earlier in the week. When Caylee's grandparents found out two or three days later, it was then they also found out Caylee was missing and asked the sheriff's office to investigate. It is unclear, though, why Casey left her car sitting in the parking lot.

Casey Anthony's lawyer has said his client is cooperating with investigators, although investigators say that's not necessarily true. Attorney Jose Baez said Anthony has even volunteered to help investigators develop a composite sketch of the babysitter, with whom she insists she left her daughter with on June 9, the last time Casey saw Caylee. Detectives say the child's father died in a car accident.

Anthony is being held in the Orange County jail in protective custody, which means she doesn't have contact with other inmates. She's being held on a charge of child neglect, a third degree felony. She's also charged with making false official statements, which are misdemeanors. Prosecutors have 33 days to file formal charges.

Friends say Casey Anthony frequented nightclubs and most recently did events planning for a local entertainment company. She was a member of the Travel and Tourism Club when she attended Colonial High School.

Search continues for missing 2-year-old central Florida girl


The Associated Press


ORLANDO, Fla. - Authorities are working on dozens of tips in their search for a missing 2-year-old central Florida girl.

Orange County Sheriff's officials say Caylee Marie Anthony mysteriously vanished more than a month ago.

Her mother, 22-year-old Casey Marie Anthony, was arrested after she went to police this week to report the disappearance. She's charged with child neglect and criminal obstruction.

Officials say the woman told detectives she had dropped off her daughter at a baby sitter last month but hadn't seen her since. The charging affidavit says the mother didn't call authorities immediately because she was conducting her own investigation.

On Friday, authorities used cadaver-sniffing dogs to search in the back yard of a home belonging to the woman's parents.

Caylee Last Heard From Tuesday
Sunday, July 20, 2008 9:20:29 AM

ORLANDO -- Almost two weeks before her third birthday, there is still no sign of Caylee Marie Anthony, who vanished over a month ago.

Family and friends plan to be out again Sunday to hand out more fliers, hoping anyone will have information on the girl's whereabouts. See previous story.

Caylee's family spoke to reporters about the latest phase of the search, and shared some new information.

The 2-year-old's disappearance came to light after her mother, Casey Anthony, had her car towed from an Amscot. The Anthony family told News 13 the reason was simply because the car had run out of gas.

The family also said the smell of decay inside the car, which some thought could be a clue, was from a piece of rotting pizza in the trunk.

However, Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, told reporters she does believe Casey is holding back vital information to protect her family.

"I don't want to wait until afterwards to find Caylee, you understand?” Cindy Anthony said. “Our focus has to be on finding Caylee first, and then sorting out all the details of what led up to the reason why we don't have her here in our home afterwards."

Cindy Anthony recalled for us a phone conversation Caylee's mother had with the toddler just Tuesday.

According to Caylee's grandmother, the 2-year-old spoke to Casey briefly, but when she asked Caylee to put an adult on the phone, the line was disconnected.

Search For Caylee Hits The Streets
Sunday, July 20, 2008 1:33:23 AM


ORLANDO -- It’s almost two weeks before her birthday, and there’s still no sign of Caylee Marie Anthony.

Caylee's grandparents began handing out fliers at the Publix at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, hoping anyone will have information on the girl's whereabouts.

The group that met at Publix also included strangers who just wanted to help.

"My last prayers last night were for this family," said Kathy McGiness, who felt motivated to help search for Caylee. "This morning, waking up, seeing it again, I was like, 'Stop with the praying. Now get out and do something.' So that's why I'm here, to get the fliers and pass them on."

Meanwhile, Caylee's family spoke to reporters about the latest phase of the search and shared some interesting new information.

Earlier this week, we told you about how the 2-year-old's disappearance came to light after Casey Anthony's car had to be towed from an Amscot.

The Anthony family said it was because Casey had run out of gas.

As for the smell of decay inside the car, which some thought could be a clue, the family said the stench was from a piece of rotting pizza in the trunk.

However, Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mother, told reporters she does believe Casey is holding back vital information to protect her family.

"I don't want to wait until afterwards to find Caylee, you understand?” said Cindy. “Our focus has to be on finding Caylee first, and then sorting out all the details of what led up to the reason why we don't have her here in our home afterwards."

Cindy recalled a phone conversation Casey had with Caylee just this past Tuesday. She said the 2-year-old spoke to Casey briefly, but when she asked Caylee to put an adult on the phone, the line was disconnected.

Orange County Sheriff's deputies spent Friday focusing on the backyard of Caylee's grandparents' home, on Hopespring Drive, where Caylee and her mother lived before the toddler disappeared in June. See previous story.

Casey Anthony's Friends React


Friends and family of Casey Anthony are in shock over her recent arrest, describing Anthony as a supportive friend, who got along with everybody.

Rebecca Adams and Krista Balcarvajal said they lost touch with Anthony after high school, and when they saw her again after four years on the news, they said they could not believe it.

"I am extremely shocked," said Adams. "To me, to find somebody that I know that's going through such an emotional roller coaster and not really giving up much information is hurtful to all of her friends and family. You know, everybody's showing a lot of concern for her daughter, and I don't know if something happened to where she feels uncomfortable of disclosing that information, but I personally feel that's not her at all."

"She's blank, she has no emotions. That's not her," said Balcarvajal. "She had a spark, whether -- you know, she was making you feel better, or trying to crack a smile with you -- but the fact that she just sees people, but she doesn't see them -- that's not her. That's not her at all."

Anthony's friends said the last time they spoke to her was online, just months ago, but they had not physically been with her since graduating from high school.

Lawyer: There Are Other Suspects In The Case

Questions are being raised as to whether Casey Anthony had anything to do with her daughter's disappearance.

For the first time, we're hearing from Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, who said there are other suspects in the case.

In addition, Baez said he plans to reveal evidence that will exonerate Anthony once they get their time in court.

Meanwhile, a motion was filed Thursday to get her bonded out of jail after a judge denied her first request this week.

He said Anthony has undergone psychological counseling while behind bars, but mental illness is not a factor in her defense.

Baez said Anthony's first priority is finding her daughter, despite some sensationalized media reports.

"She's doing her best to keep it together and to assist in any way she possibly can because now is not the time to lose it,” said Baez. “She needs her composure and her ability to think so it can best help Caylee."

Baez said he is outraged that Anthony is still in jail considering she has not been charged in connection with her daughter's disappearance or harming her in any way.

Police in Orlando, Fla., are interviewing dozens of acquaintances of Casey Marie Anthony whose two-year-old daughter, Caylee, has been missing for more than a month.

"We believe Casey knows where the girl is because everything she’s told us so far has turned out to be lies," Orlando sheriff's spokesman Carlos Padilla told FOXNews.com on Sunday.

"We're making phone calls to anyone who has had contact with her to see if she's said something," Padilla said.

On Saturday, the mother's attorney suggested his client's toddler daughter, Caylee might have been taken out of state — possibly to Miami; Charlotte, N.C.; or even New York City, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.

Orange County deputies field tips in Caylee Anthony's disappearance

Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office said they plan to spend the day working the phones, following up on tips that have come in regarding the disappearance of 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony.

There were no new developments in the case Sunday, even after Caylee Marie's family implored people to get the word out and handed out fliers Saturday in hopes of finding the girl.

Caylee was reported missing Tuesday, but her mother told authorities the toddler has not been seen since June 9. The girl's mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, was arrested Wednesday night after telling investigators a string of lies about the child's disappearance.

"Nothing concrete has come in," said Carlos Padilla, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office. After so many hours of searching, Padilla added, "We need to regroup and get out thoughts together."


Padilla said detectives also will follow up on reports that Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother, has told television reporters that her daughter got a call from the little girl on Tuesday. The grandmother told reporters that when Casey Anthony asked the girl to put an adult on the phone, the line went dead.

But authorities said Cindy Anthony hadn't brought up the mysterious call until now.

"At this point, we don't know that to be true," Padilla said. "That never came up. To my knowledge, that wasn't brought up when the investigation started."

Padilla said deputies are still operating under the hope that Caylee is alive. He repeated earlier assertions that help from Caylee's mother is key to finding the child, saying Casey Anthony has "not done anything to facilitate us locating this child."

I'm not that Zenaida Gonzalez
Submitted by Zenaida Gonzalez on Fri Jul 18, 2008 11:59 am
Many of you have emailed me concerned that I may be involved in the case of the missing 2-year-old in Orlando. It is a very sad story where the child has been missing for almost a month, but mom didn't report it to police. I believe the grandparents filed the missing person's report.

Let me assure you I am not involved and I am not the Zenaida Gonzalez that mother told officials she left her daughter with on that day.

I've been bombarded with emails and phone calls even some from media asking for comment. But it is not me.

It is a very sad case. I worry for the child and the family as well. In my opinion you have to be mentally ill to lose track of your child or do them harm. I pray for the family and thank you all for your concern.

ORLANDO -- Almost two weeks before her third birthday, there is still no sign of Caylee Marie Anthony, who vanished over a month ago.

Family and friends plan to be out again Sunday to hand out more fliers, hoping anyone will have information on the girl's whereabouts. See previous story.

Caylee's family spoke to reporters about the latest phase of the search, and shared some new information.

Web Sites Give Glimpse Of Arrested Mother's Life, Family Problems
POSTED: 12:23 pm EDT July 17, 2008
UPDATED: 11:40 am EDT July 18, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Since news of Casey Anthony's arrest broke, Eyewitness News has been working to find out more about the young mother. She has had no prior run-ins with the law, but online social networking websites do offer a glimpse into her life.

Many of Casey Anthony's friends and family maintain online pages and that includes Anthony's own mother, Cynthia. On her MySpace page, she describes intense love for her daughter and the missing granddaughter, but there's also evidence of the problems that crept into their relationship.

As news of Casey's arrest broke, Eyewitness News did some digging and found a number of photos of her out on the town on social networking sites. Little Caylee never appears in any of them.

Friends told Eyewitness News that Casey used several nannies to care for her daughter, but they weren't sure how she got the money to pay for them.

On the MySpace page set up by Cynthia Anthony, Casey's mother and the grandmother of the missing child, she lists her mood as "distraught." In one of her blog postings, she details the sometimes strained relationship she has with Casey.

"What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills," her blog posting reads.

According to more from that posting, Casey Anthony had also apparently criticized her mother for being too controlling and not giving her enough space.

Many of the online profiles have been closed off from pubic view since news of Caylee's disappearance broke. Casey Anthony's brother took control of his sister's MySpace page and it has been turned into a message board seeking tips about the girl's disappearance.

Grandmother Thinks Mother May Know Caylee's Location
Monday, July 21, 2008 6:43:57 AM


ORLANDO -- Caylee Anthony’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said the girl's mother may be sending messages from behind bars.

On Sunday night, dozens of people gathered outside the family's home in Orange County to pray for the safe return of the girl, who hasn't been seen in months.

They're trying to hold out hope Caylee will return home soon.

Cindy said she believes Casey Anthony, who's currently locked up, knows where the girl is.

She said Casey may be trying to send clues as to her whereabouts, but isn't able to tell the whole story to investigators.

“Her plan was to get us all back together, and I think her plan has changed and I think that's what happened,” said Cindy Anthony. “Her plan changed halfway through, and she doesn't know where it’s at right now. I truly believe Casey knows who has Caylee but it's code name. That's why they can't find that person just yet.”
Fliers Continue To Be Distributed

Investigators spent the weekend pouring over leads and tips in the case.

They said Casey has not been helpful, and so far they have nothing concrete in the investigation.

Family members and friends spent the day Sunday handing out fliers hoping someone may have seen the girl.

Caylee's uncle, Lee, said despite the local and national attention this case has received, he's hoping the fliers will reach those who may not be aware of the situation.

"To get the word out to folks may not have heard about yet, or heard about it very little. The idea is to reach out in another arena to folks who have not heard on the Internet or through the media via TV and radio and things of that nature," said Lee Anthony.

The family said some traveled as far away as Jacksonville to hand out the fliers, hoping to generate any new leads on the case.
Was Caylee Last Heard From On Tuesday?

Meanwhile, detectives said they're continuing to follow up reports the little girl may have called her mother as late as Tuesday, July 15.

Caylee's grandmother said Casey got a call from the girl the day before she was arrested.

She said Casey asked Caylee to put an adult on the phone, and that's when the line went dead.

Deputies said they don't know if that story from Casey is true or not.

Grandmother Of Missing Toddler Says Daughter "Has Done Something"

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- For the first time, the grandparents of missing girl Caylee Anthony admit their daughter may have had something to do with her disappearance. That mother, Casey Anthony, is now trying everything to get out of jail.

In a surprising turnaround Monday, Caylee Marie's grandmother told Eyewitness News she wants Caylee's mother Casey to know that she forgives Casey and said, if a judge allows Casey out of jail Tuesday, she's welcome to come back to their home if she wants to.

More flowers were delivered to Caylee Marie Anthony's grandparents house Monday. Inside, family members were fielding phone calls and emails, hoping for leads to Caylee's whereabouts, six days after she was reported missing and about six weeks after Caylee's mother Casey says she last saw the little girl.

Monday, grandmother Cynthia Anthony told Eyewitness News she forgives Casey.

"For whatever she's done. Everybody, she has done something, okay. She's holding back or whatever it is. Otherwise, Caylee would be right here with us, so, she has done something. So I forgive her for whatever that is," Cynthia said Monday.

Eyewitness News asked her about what she had written in her blog on MySpace.com that jealousy drove Casey away with the child. She admits there was tension over who was closer to Caylee.

"When you give birth to a child, you want to hold that child yourself for the first time. You don't want to see your mother hold that child for the first time. And unfortunately it was me or nobody, because she wasn't allowed to hold the baby at that time," Cynthia said.

Mother Offers Insight Into Casey Anthony


POSTED: 7:22 pm EDT July 21, 2008
UPDATED: 8:46 pm EDT July 21, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Cindy Anthony offers some insight into her daughter -- the mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony.

Mother Cindy Anthony said her daughter, Casey, 22, went to Colonial High School, but did not graduate. She ended one half credit short of getting her diploma.

Cindy Anthony said that, before Caylee was born, Casey Anthony's passion was photography. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/ibs.hearst.contextweb/local;sz=300x250;ord=[timestamp]? (http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/ibs.hearst.contextweb/local;sz=300x250;ord=[timestamp]?)
[/URL]

"She just lucked into a photography job at Universal Studios, not at Universal Studios, but for Kodak, and she has a plaque. She was the employee of the year," Cindy Anthony said.

Cindy Anthony said her daughter is very caring; the kind of person who looks out for other people.

She cautions anyone who looks at Casey Anthony's arrest video and then assumes her daughter is cold and calculating to think twice.

After seeing the same video, psychologist Dr. Deborah Day said there are two things we know about Casey Anthony: she's young -- almost a child raising a child -- and at times she has not told the truth.

Day said she does not know if Casey Anthony knows where Caylee is, but that she knows information that would be helpful in finding her daughter.

"It is something we have to think about in terms of, 'Well, is she lying or conning to get her needs met? Is she just so impulsive that she has some kind of underlying mental health issue that leads her to impulsively lie? Or is she just a bad person? Or are we all wrong about her and she is really a grieving young mother and we all misunderstand her?" Day said.

Casey Anthony has worked for a company that does promotional work for the nightclub Fusion.

WESH 2 News has not heard back from Universal regarding her employment with Kodak.

Search Continues for Caylee, Interview with Grandfather--VIDEO
Mature

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Sheriff's deputies used cadaver-sniffing dogs to search Friday for a 2-year-old Florida girl who mysteriously vanished more than a month ago, trying to determine what happened to the toddler whose mother was arrested after she came to police this week to report the disappearance.

Authorities said they didn't rule out the possibility that Caylee Marie Anthony was still alive. The girl's 22-year-old mother, Casey Marie Anthony, was arrested Wednesday on charges of child neglect and criminal obstruction.

Sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said the woman told detectives she had dropped off her daughter at a babysitter last month but hadn't seen her since.

Mother Wants Out Of Jail To Help Investigators Find Missing Daughter

Attorney Asking For Bond Tuesday

POSTED: 5:44 pm EDT July 21, 2008
UPDATED: 10:37 pm EDT July 21, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A woman accused of not reporting her daughter missing for five weeks wants out of jail in order to help investigators find the child.

Casey Anthony, 22, was taken into custody Wednesday after detectives determined her daughter had been missing since early June and was never reported missing.

Monday, Anthony's attorney said by letting the woman out of jail, she can help find the girl.

"We want to find Caylee," Anthony family attorney Jose Baez said. "I have had in-depth and long conversations with my client and she has asked to help cooperate. She wants to cooperate."

Baez would not say what it is that he learned that leads him to believe that a release could help lead to Caylee's return, Local 6's Tony Pipitone reported.

Baez also described Anthony's situation in jail during a Monday news conference.

"They have put her in a situation that is very difficult -- extremely difficult," Baez said. "They've put a psych hold on her where she has been stripped of her bedding. Her underwear has been taken from her. She is in a cell in protective custody. All she has is basically a blanket in a small room."

Baez will ask Circuit Judge Stan Strickland to grant bond.

"In all of research I've uncovered, I've never seen anyone denied bail with no prior criminal history with these sets of facts," Baez said.

Casey Anthony is charged with child neglect and a few misdemeanors -- charges that would normally produce a bond of about $7,500, Local 6's Tony Pipitone reported.



Family: Daughter Can Help


Meanwhile, family members are also pushing for Anthony's release from jail Tuesday, saying she could be valuable in the search.

Family members said they still believe Caylee's mystery baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez had something to do with her disappearance.

Investigators are questioning whether the woman exists, Local 6 reported.

The girl's grandmother said she has never met the baby sitter but has heard stories about her for years.

Casey Anthony said she dropped her daughter off at the baby sitter's apartment on June 9. But when she returned, she said the baby sitter and Caylee were missing.

When detectives returned to the apartment last week, they discovered the apartment has been vacant for months and that no one named Zenaida lived there.

Also, Casey Anthony has never described how they could find Zenaida, Local 6's Mike DeForest reported.

"I trust Casey wholeheartedly that where Casey says she is, is where she is," Cindy Anthony said. "I think Casey had every intention of picking up Caylee from the baby sitter on June 9 but when she found out that the baby sitter was reluctant, or refused or said, 'You are not getting her back,' Casey panicked."


Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Caylee is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Could missing Orlando girl be in the Tampa Bay area?

Orlando, Florida - Will the search for a missing Orlando girl bring investigators to the Bay area?

The attorney for the mother of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony says police should be looking for the child's babysitter, who he says is known to have ties to Bradenton, Gainesville and Miami.

Tampa Bay's 10 News contacted investigators in Orange County. They told us the attorney hasn't said anything to them and they have no plans to look in Manatee County.

The mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with child neglect and criminal obstruction for lying to detectives. Caylee was last seen on June 9th, but not reported missing until July 15th.

In a news conference on Monday, Jose Baez, attorney for Casey Anthony, said, "She [Casey Antony] has stated to police that Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez was the person that she left the child with. We are going to assist in trying to find this person and do everything that we can to try to find her."

Orlando CBS affiliate WKMGTV reports investigators are questioning whether Casey Anthony said she dropped her daughter off at the baby sitter's apartment on June 9. But when she returned, she said the baby sitter and Caylee were missing.

When detectives returned to the apartment last week, they discovered the apartment has been vacant for months and that no one named Zenaida lived there.

Caylee's mother is asking a judge to let her out of jail, so she can search for her daughter.

Many Questions Remain in the Search For Caylee Last Edited: Monday, 21 Jul 2008, 11:43 PM EDT Created: Monday, 21 Jul 2008, 11:43 PM EDT

FOX 35 NEWS

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- It’s been almost a week since Casey Anthony reported her daughter missing.

Nearly a week since police arrested Casey for neglect, and six weeks since little Caylee Anthony disappeared.

Those are hard facts. But there are still plenty of gray areas.

We tried to clear the air with Anthony's attorney Jose Baez and asked the questions that many have been asking over the last few days.

Did Casey have a strained relationship with her own mother, Cynthia?

Baez said Casey’s relationship with mom and dad was solid, but that doesn’t mean the Anthony’s aren’t concerned grandparents.

Another question we asked Baez was where his client lived and work during the five weeks cops believe her daughter was missing.

“Where she was staying and specific details of that time period, I’m going to leave to preparing for her defense,” Baez said. “I don’t want to get into that at this time.”

VIDEO: --Many Questions Remain in the Search For Caylee (http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7033135&version=1&locale=EN-US)

He also said where Casey was working during the time of Caylee’s disappearance is a side issue he would not address.

While Baez is working to get Casey out of jail and back with her parents. He said his job is to protect her at all costs, defending her against her current charges and any charges she may face in the future.

As for Casey’s jail accommodations, there were reports out that she was in the psych ward.

That’s not true.

According to officials with Orange County Corrections Casey is in protective custody because of all the media attention.

Other inmates have no access to her.

Casey will have a bond hearing Tuesday afternoon. Baez expects her bond to be low considering that the charges against her are third degree felony and she has no prior record

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Volunteers will be back out Tuesday morning with fliers of missing two year old Caylee Anthony. Almost a week after her mother reported the toddler missing; Caylee’s family is hoping money talks.

A local foundation and a local business owner are offering a new reward of a combined $125,000 for information that leads to finding Caylee.

The reward is good for the next 90 days. $100,000 is coming from the Peter Benevides, owner of Skyview Aviation and Skyview Exotic Car Rental in Orlando.

The other $25,000 comes from the Never Lose Hope Foundation.

The foundation, led by William Rivera, also lined up office space for volunteers to work out of and lined up donations of 100,000 fliers.

Rivera, who also runs a telemarketing company, says they’ll also use phone databases for targeted voice broadcasts to specific areas. The personal recorded message from Caylee’s family should start going out to certain areas this week.

“You can have volunteers, but they can only touch so many people in a given time,” said Rivera.

He says the foundation can touch tens of thousands of homes and businesses in just a few hours.

More help rolls into town Tuesday morning. The Kid Finders Network of South Florida is offering a mobile billboard featuring Caylee. The giant poster on wheels can be driven around town in high traffic areas, or targeted to specific places mother Casey or Caylee may have been.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Casey Anthony, the mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee, is scheduled to appear before a judge this afternoon.

At 1:30 p.m., Circuit Judge Stan Strickland will determine if Casey will be able to bond out of jail. Her defense attorney, Jose Baez, says if she is released, she will better be able to help find her daughter.

Volunteers are headed back out today to continue passing out fliers of Caylee. Volunteers hope the fliers will help someone remember seeing her, and be able to help police.

A local foundation and business owner are offering a new reward of a combined $125,000 for information that leads to finding Caylee. The offer stands for the next 90 days.

The Never Lose Hope Foundation has also helped line up office space for volunteers to work out of. They will also use high-tech tele-marking databases for targeted voice broadcasts over the phone. The personal recorded message from Caylee’s family is expected to start going out to certain areas this week.

The voice broadcasting can target 50 to 100,000 people in a four to six hour period, and will be able to reach a much wider area than fliers.

More help is also on the way to help find the missing girl. Kid Finder’s Network is bringing its mobile billboard which will feature Caylee’s picture and information.

The network says the visual aid is the most effective way to make the public aware of what is happening, and can make a huge difference in increasing the chances of finding the missing girl unharmed.

Grandmother of Missing Florida Toddler Says Her Daughter Left Caylee With Someone Who Betrayed Her

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

The grandmother of a 2-year-old girl missing for more than a month said her daughter left the child in the care of someone she trusted, but that person betrayed her.

In an interview on FOX News Tuesday morning, Cindy Anthony implied that her granddaughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, was kidnapped.

The allegation came as the legal team for her daughter, 22-year-old Casey Marie Anthony, was trying to get her out of a jail in Florida so she could help in the search for Caylee.

• Click here for photos.

Casey Anthony has been in prison since last week but will plead for her release at a bond hearing Tuesday afternoon in Orlando.

Anthony finally reported her toddler daughter missing last Wednesday at her parents' urging. Caylee was last seen June 9, according to Anthony — who investigators say has spun a Web of lies in their interviews with her. She was arrested on charges of child endangerment, making false officials statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.

Her attorney denies that she hasn't been telling police the truth and says she's been cooperating.

"My client at no time refused to speak with law enforcement," said lawyer Jose Baez at a Monday press conference. “We are focused on trying to find Caylee. We want to find Caylee.”

Anthony was denied bail at a hearing last week. The bond hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando.

Anthony's mother Cindy Anthony has called for her release so she can help authorities in the search for the child.

Cindy Anthony said her daughter "has her reasons why she just can't blurt out the whole story."

"Casey has been trying to tell the police in her own way what she can tell them and the only unfortunate thing is, you know, they want a clear picture," Cindy Anthony told FOX News on Monday. "There's no clear picture. Casey has her reasons why she just can't blurt out the whole story, so she's been honest with them for what she can be honest with."

Earlier, Cindy Anthony said on NBC's "Today" Show Monday that her daughter knows who has the toddler and should be released from jail so she can assist with the search.

Volunteers in the Orlando, Fla., were continuing to canvass neighborhoods this week, distributing about 50,000 fliers, according to MyFOX Orlando.

A local foundation and business owner were offering a new reward of a combined $125,000 for any information about Caylee's disappearance or whereabouts, MyFOX Orlando reported. The reward will be in effect for at least the next three months.

Orange County sheriff's detectives say they have few new leads. Authorities are looking into the family's claims that Casey Anthony received a mysterious call from her daughter last Tuesday.

Mom Could Be Released; Phone Call Could Change Timeline

POSTED: 12:00 pm EDT July 22, 2008
UPDATED: 12:13 pm EDT July 22, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- On the same day the mother of a missing Orange County toddler will ask a judge to be freed from jail, Eyewitness News has learned a phone call could change the entire timeline in the case.

Casey Anthony will be in court for a bond hearing early Tuesday afternoon. Also Tuesday, Eyewitness News learned her ex-fiancé now says he heard 2-year-old Caylee Anthony during a phone call on June 24, after her last reported sighting.

Casey Anthony's attorney will be trying to convince a second judge to set bond for her Tuesday, almost a week after she was arrested on child neglect, making false official statements and obstruction of justice.

Only one of the charges Anthony faces is a felony; the other two are misdemeanor charges. Normally, someone facing those charges would have been released on bond right away, but initially investigators had asked that she be held in jail hoping that she'd feel some pressure to tell them where her daughter Caylee is. That hasn't happened..Casey's lawyer claims that Casey can be more helpful to investigators if she's out of jail and that's what he plans to argue to Circuit Judge Stan Strickland.

If investigators testify at Tuesday afternoon's bond hearing, new details about what they know may be revealed. It's possible, since they have not had luck with Caylee's mother giving them any credible information, they won't fight her release.

Casey's mother has said that she might not make it to the hearing Tuesday, because of all of the television appearances she's making, and she seems to waver on whether it would be good for Casey to be released. On the one hand, she said, Casey could help in the search for Caylee, but on the other hand said it might, in a way, be easier for her if Casey stays in jail where she is being taken care of.

There might be no legal reason, or any reason at all at this point, to hold Casey Anthony in jail. She is not under a suicide watch.

Casey Anthony's attorney has told Eyewitness News that she will talk to investigators if she is given immunity from prosecution, but that's not something that investigators can promise and, at this point, there's no indication that any deal like that is in the works.

PHONE CALL REVEALS NEW DETAILS
Eyewitness news has uncovered other major developments in the Caylee Anthony case Tuesday. The ex-fiancé of the girl's mother will contradict Casey Anthony's timeline of events in a sworn statement to deputies Tuesday afternoon.

The man, identified only as Jesse, has told Eyewitness News, and is telling deputies Tuesday, that he believes little Caylee Anthony was with her mother Casey much more recently than Casey has let on.

Casey claims she last saw the little girl on June 9, when she left her with a babysitter. But Jesse now says he called Casey on Tuesday, June 24 and heard her scolding the little girl for jumping up on the table in the background. He then heard the girl's young voice in the background responding and told Eyewitness News he is 100 percent sure that it was Caylee.

If true, that would be a major wrench in the timeline Casey Anthony has given deputies. It is a full two weeks after Casey says she last saw Caylee. Jesse told Eyewitness News he remembers the day clearly, because it was the very day he resigned from the Orlando Police Department. He said he called Casey to let her know and said phone records show the call was 18 minutes long.

It was only three days later that, he said, he spoke to Casey again and she told him that Caylee was with a babysitter, so she would be free to go to the beach the next day.

Grandmother says her daughter knows who has Caylee Anthony

July 21, 2008

Deputies arrested the mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony too soon after she reported her daughter's disappearance, the child's grandmother said this morning on NBC's Today Show.

"They made a huge mistake by arresting her that quickly," Cindy Anthony said.

The grandmother said 22-year-old Casey Anthony, who was arrested Wednesday after telling Orange County sheriff's investigators a string of lies about the child's disappearance, could help deputies find Caylee if she wasn't in jail.

"I know Casey knows who has her, but doesn't know where they are at right now," Cindy Anthony said. If released, "maybe she'll take us to her."


Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said he has insight on the disappearance and the reasons behind the mother's lies.

"I know the reason [Casey lied], but I can't disclose that at this time," Baez said on the Today Show.

At a press conference in Kissimmee this morning, Baez said he and Casey Anthony are "willing to cooperate fully" with law enforcement.

Carlos Padilla, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office, said detectives also will follow up on reports that Cindy Anthony has told television reporters that her daughter got a call from the little girl Tuesday. The grandmother told reporters that when Casey Anthony asked the girl to put an adult on the phone, the line went dead.

Investigators acknowledged the information and were made aware of it on Tuesday when the girl was reported missing, said Sgt. John Allen f the sheriff's child-abuse unit.

Today, the girl's grandmother refused to discuss the alleged phone call or other details about the toddler's disappearance. She wanted to focus on the search for Caylee instead. "If we don't' focus on finding Caylee, we'll never get the facts straight," she said.

Jail records show Casey Anthony is scheduled for a bond hearing Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. She will ask Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland to release her on some type of bond. Judge John Jordon had denied Casey Anthony bond last week.

The Anthony family expects to receive 50,000 fliers today that they will distribute. They have already reached out to hotels on Florida's east coast and plan to contact hotels on the Gulf Coast, Cindy Anthony said.

They are targeting beach communities since Casey Anthony told several friends that Caylee was at the beach, Cindy Anthony said.

Meanwhile, detectives with the Orange County Sheriff's Office plan to regroup today, after almost a week of hunting for the missing 2-year-old.

There were no new developments in the case Sunday, even after Caylee's family implored people to get the word out and handed out fliers Saturday in hopes of finding the girl. Authorities spent Sunday working the phones, following up on tips.

"Nothing concrete has come in," Padilla said. After so many hours of searching, Padilla added, "We need to regroup and get our thoughts together."

Caylee was reported missing last week, but her mother told authorities the toddler has not been seen since June 9.

Authorities have already followed up on numerous tips, including sightings in Dade and Brevard counties and in Virginia. Those tips were unfounded, Padilla said.

"We're still getting calls from people who believe they sighted her and people who are watching the news and have some advice for us," said Allen. "We're getting all kinds of calls."

Padilla said deputies are still operating under the hope that Caylee is alive. He said help from Caylee's mother is key to finding the child but that she has "not done anything to facilitate us locating this child."

Casey Anthony Asking For Bail

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 11:26:06 AM

ORLANDO -- The mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony is trying again to get released from jail as investigators search for her child.
Casey Anthony, 22, reported her daughter missing last week, five weeks after the girl allegedly disappeared.

Anthony's bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. She was denied bail at a hearing last week.

Anthony faces charges of child endangerment, making false officials statements and obstructing a criminal investigation -- a third-degree felony, third-degree misdemeanor and second degree misdemeanor.

According to her attorney, Jose Baez, it is unusual for someone facing such charges to be denied bond.

Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, said they will not be attending the bond hearing because they don't want to waste even an hour of time that they could spend looking for Caylee.

"I trust her attorney to do what's right for her," Cindy Anthony said. "He knows her intention is to get her home, but I don't want to lose hours not spreading the word."

Investigators said Anthony has done nothing but lie to them, but Baez said she has been cooperating.

Reward Offered

A reward of $125,000 is now being offered for information leading to the safe return of Caylee.

Cindy Anthony, said she believed her daughter, Casey, when she told her the missing 2-year-old might be with her babysitter, even though investigators do not believe the woman exists.

"No one can imagine why you wouldn't go to the police. Well, I can imagine a reason," Cindy Anthony said.

According to Cindy Anthony, her daughter's behavior, including her lack of emotion and conflicting stories, all support the idea she is holding back information to either protect Caylee or the family.

Friends of the Anthony family are continuing to pass out fliers. Their base of operations is the Publix at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail, in Orlando.

The group has fliers in both English and Spanish, and is hoping businesses will take media CDs to help them print fliers, because the family is in desperate need of supplies like paper, ink buttons -- anything to spread the image of Caylee, who has been missing for over a month.

"We want her home as soon as possible, as safe as possible, and I plead to whoever may have her: Drop her off here. Send her to the tent. I won't ask questions; I just want her home safe," said Becca Hoeschen, a friend of Caylee's family.

Should Casey Go Free On Bond?

As Casey Anthony sits in jail, waiting for her bond hearing Tuesday, dozens of questions remain unanswered, including why she lied to authorities, whether she knows where Caylee is, and if she had anything to do with her daughter's disappearance.

According to criminal lawyer Adam Sudbury, these questions have no bearing on whether or not a judge will deny bail.

"They cannot use bail to punish her before conviction. They can only use it to secure her presence at trial," Sudbury said.

The main criteria for setting bail, Sudbury said, is if a defendant is a flight risk -- that is, fleeing before the trial. The higher the risk, the higher the bail.

Casey Anthony's mental health status or her apparent refusal to cooperate with authorities do not factor into the process of setting bond.

According to Florida Law, unless the defendant is charged with a capital offense, or an offense punishable by life imprisonment, and the poof of guilt is evident, the defendant has a right to pretrial release.

Casey Anthony is charged with child neglect and criminal obstruction, which do not fall under those stipulations.

Sudbury said in situations like this one, in which Caylee's life could be at stake, people often make decisions based on emotion rather than fact.
"Unfortunately, when a case gets a lot of publicity, the public says, 'That person is dangerous. They should be in jail,'" Sudbury said, "but no, they have a right to be presumed innocent."

Rolling billboard arrives in Orlando for missing girl

Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writer
11:13 AM EDT, July 22, 2008

Lee Anthony is grateful for the outpouring of support his family has seen since his 2-year-old niece was reported missing last week.

Anthony was stationed outside of the Publix supermarket at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail this morning along with handful of friends and supporters when a mobile billboard from the Kid Finders Foundation arrived from West Palm Beach around 10 a.m.

The 16-foot long trailer has a giant photo of missing Caylee Marie Anthony and information on how to help locate her. Sherri and Dennis Milstead, who founded the foundation two years ago, donated the billboard.

"This means so much," Anthony said of the billboard. "The support has been amazing."

Local businesses have donated printing costs and allowed the family to hand out fliers on their properties, Anthony said.

The Never Lose Hope Foundation, operated locally, designed and donated 100,000 missing person's fliers to aid in the search for Caylee.

A $125,000 reward is now being offered for the girl's return. The money was donated from The Never Lose Hope Foundation, Skyview Aviations and Skyview Exoctic Rentals, Anthony said.

"We love her and can't wait for her to come back," he said of his niece.

Caylee was reported missing a week ago to Orange County Sheriff's officials. The child's mother, Casey Anthony, told investigators she hadn't seen her daughter since June 9 when she dropped her off at the baby sitters house. Officials have yet to find the baby sitter or the child.

Casey Anthony was arrested Wednesday on several charges including child neglect and filing false information. She is being held without bail at the Orange County Jail. She is scheduled to be in court this afternoon on a bond hearing.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Casey Anthony will be released on bond.

Anthony, 22, who was arrested last week after reporting the disappearance of her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony and charged with child neglect and criminal obstruction for lying to detectives had her bond set at $500,000 at the conclusion of a bond hearing Tuesday afternoon.

Circuit Judge Stan Strickland says he's concerned that evidence presented in court possibly implicates Anthony in 2-year-old Caylee's death. An investigator testified that Anthony's car smelled of decomposition when it was found.

In their closing arguments prosecutors said that their case against Casey Anthony is looking more and more like a homicide investigation.

They also revealed evidence they said that makes them believe ‘the child is no longer alive’.

Anthony's attorney however says there is circumstantial evidence of a possible homicide, but not enough to give prosecutors the confidence to charge Anthony with homicide, kidnapping or any similar offense.

The ruling capped an emotional day of testimony.

Shortly after Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland entered the courtroom around 1:40 p.m., Cindy Anthony took the stand. She broke down into tears upon seeing her daughter. The two had not seen each other since she was arrested. "This is the first time I have physically seen her," she said, wiping away the tears.

Upon questioning from prosecutor Linda Drane-Burdick as to when Cindy first confronted her daughter as to the whereabouts of Caylee, Cindy expressed her doubts. "I asked her (Casey), 'where was Caylee?'" said Cindy. "After speaking with Casey, I did not get to see Caylee. I was not satisfied with her answer."

The line of questioning eventually turned to the family's financial standing after Cindy indicated that money for bond would be available if granted.

Drane-Burdick inquired about a mortgage on the Anthony's Orlando home and other loans on which the family had defaulted. The defense objected, but Judge Strickland permitted the line of questioning stating, "It's painful but relevant."

Asked whether Casey would be under constant supervision upon release, Cindy responded, "Casey won't have access to a car. I'm not going to handcuff her anywhere. I will provide someone with her at all times," said Cindy Anthony. "I will have someone 'Casey-sit' her, because she's not a baby."

George Anthony, Casey's father and a former law enforcement officer, was then called to the stand by defense attorney, Jose Baez.

Are you a close family?" asked Baez. " I hope we are. I believe we are," George Anthony replied. Both Cindy and George Anthony conceded that aside from either of them, Casey would also confide in her brother.

The prosecution opted not question George Anthony. That's when Casey's brother, Lee Alexander Anthony took the stand.

"How close are you with sister," asked defense attorney Jose Baez. " Her and I know we can confide with each other on anything. We connect on a level and love each other unconditionally," said Casey's brother, Lee Anthony.

Lee then responded to questioning from the prosecution about his last contact with his sister. Lee indicated that Casey appeared to know where Caylee was located as recently as July 15. He asked their mother, Cindy, to wait before calling the police, because he believed he could talk to Casey to locate Caylee.

Before deputies arrived, Lee pleaded with sister to share information as to the whereabouts of Caylee and that's when Casey told him, "I have not seen my daughter in thirty-one days."

Testimony then turned from that of family members to law enforcement officials who are leading the investigation in the search for Caylee.

Sheriff's officials have said they doubted statements the mother made that she had dropped the child off with a baby sitter last month and had not seen her since.

Cpl. Yury Melich, with Orange County Child Abuse Missing Person's Unit, was asked about the search of a car used by Casey Anthony, which was later confiscated for analysis. Pontiac was towed after being parked for days at an Orlando check-cashing business.

"There was a bad odor in the car," said Melich. "I actually went into the car to smell what the car smelled like. In my experience, the smell I smelled in the car was that of decomposition." he said. "We found hair samples in the trunk of the car consistent with the color and length of that belonging to Caylee." Melich also indicated that there were questionable stains in the trunk of the car which showed up under a black light.

Melich elaborated on a recent search conducted at the Anthony's Orlando home using cadaver-sniffing dogs. He said the search was prompted by a tip from a neighbor who stated that sometime in mid to late June, Casey was witnessed backing her car up to the garage. The neighbor told investigators that Casey had asked to borrow a shovel. "That prompted us to start looking at the residence on Hope Spring," said Melich.

Authorities said Casey has repeatedly lied to investigators and showed little emotion during interviews about her daughter's whereabouts. Anthony didn't call authorities immediately, she said, because she was conducting her own investigation, according to the charging affidavit.

Casey told investigators that Caylee was last in the care of a babysitter, Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez. The apartment at which Casey allegedly dropped off Caylee, had not been occupied in months. Adding to detective's doubts were false statements given by Casey early in the investigation. Anthony gave detectives a bogus employer, manager's name and work telephone number, according to the affidavit.

"Are you convinced that this is someone made up by the defendant," asked Drane-Burdick regarding existence of the babysitter. "I can't concede that. No one has ever talked to this person besides Casey," said Melich.

In their closing arguments, prosecutors admitted that their case against Casey Anthony is looking more and more like a homicide investigation.

When asked if there was evidence which might indicate that Caylee was no longer alive, Melich responded "yes, that can be concluded."

"Is Miss Anthony a suspect?" asked Drane-Burdick. "I wouldln't use the word 'suspect,' I would say 'person of interest," added Melich.

After two and half hours of testimony, Judge Strickland granted Casey Anthony bond, which is set at $500,000.

Judge Sets $500K Bond For Casey Anthony

FBI Becomes Involved In Case

POSTED: 6:12 am EDT July 22, 2008
UPDATED: 7:24 pm EDT July 22, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A bond of $500,000 has been set for Casey Anthony, the mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, 2.

The mother will also be required to wear a GPS monitoring device as part of Judge Stan Strickland's ruling.

During the more than two-hour bond hearing, Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother, was the first to take the stand.

She was emotional and said it was because she hadn't seen her daughter, Casey Anthony, 22, in a week.

Cindy Anthony was questioned about her financial situation and how she would have posted bond for her daughter if it had been granted, what type of mother Casey Anthony is, and Casey Anthony's employment and history.

She also told the court that she would nominate people to "Casey-sit" if her daughter could return to the Anthonys' home.

Prosecutors continued to say that Casey Anthony is a flight risk.

Casey Anthony's father, George Anthony, took the stand after Cindy Anthony and was also questioned about the kind of mother his daughter is, his relationship with her and his desire to find Caylee.

Cindy Anthony was angry as she left the courthouse.

"Caylee is missing and continue to look for Caylee. She is not dead and there is no evidence to say that," Cindy Anthony said to a group of reporters outside the courthouse. "I'm upset because she has not been charged with anything. She's going to be home tonight."

In response to the smell in the trunk of her daughter's car, Cindy Anthony said there was a bag of pizza with maggots in it in the car.

"The same dogs that cleared our house cleared them," Cindy Anthony said. "They're not saying the house is cleared," WESH 2 reporter Michelle Meredith said.

"There's no bruises on that child," she said. "There's no evidence that Casey has ever done any harm to her child," Cindy Anthony said. She said it's possible that a babysitter abused Caylee.

Lee Anthony, Casey Anthony's brother, also took the stand during the hearing. He spoke about his relationship with Casey Anthony and said that in his relationship with his sister he can tell her anything that he wouldn't feel comfortable telling anyone else and vice versa.

Lee Anthony said he has no doubt that if he were able to speak to Casey Anthony about the situation that she would confide in him. He said that on the night that Cindy Anthony had called the police and reported Caylee missing he asked her in private about Caylee’s whereabouts. He said that Casey Anthony broke down and said she had not seen her daughter in 31 days.

The lead detective in the case, Yuri Melich, took the stand and talked about the search of Casey Anthony's car. He said hair samples similar to the color and length of Caylee's hair were found in the trunk of the car and the car smelled of decomposition. He also talked about a shovel that Casey Anthony borrowed from a neighbor and had her car backed up to the garage, and that some dirt found in the trunk of her car needs to be processed. He said the cadaver dog appeared to be alerted when searching the car and the Anthonys home.

Melich testified that they believe there is a possibility that Caylee is no longer alive. Melich said a man told him he spoke to Casey Anthony and heard Caylee in the background around June 24 or 25. Previously, it was believed that no on had seen Caylee or spoken to her since June 9.

During a news conference on Tuesday evening, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said again that their primary concern is locating Caylee. They said they cannot expand on any of the pieces of evidence mentioned in Casey Anthony's bond hearing earlier on Tuesday and stated that the FBI is now involved in the case.

"As information comes in to us that suggests that she may have been harmed, we cannot ignore that either, so while we go about the business of trying to find her if she's out there and return her to her family, we also have to, as evidence comes in that she may have been harmed, we've got to follow that up as well," Sgt. John Allen of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney, also questioned Melich in the bond hearing, asking him if he had any evidence that Casey Anthony had harmed Caylee. Melich said not at this time, but he called Casey Anthony a person of interest.

Casey Anthony cried several times during the hearing when her family was testifying.

The Anthony family is likely to be expected to come up with 10 percent of the full $500,000 bond, or $50,000, to have her released from jail, but this is up to the bonding agency.

Strickland said he was constitutionally bound to give Casey Anthony bond. At one point, he said that she was using her silence as leverage to get out of jail.

After setting her bond, Strickland spoke directly to Casey Anthony, saying that she and the truth are strangers.

Baez said they will appeal.

Casey Anthony also must have a psychological evaluation before she can be released.

The FBI told FOXNews.com that the bureau is aware of the case but is not playing a part in the probe.

"We're definitely aware of it and monitoring the situation, but that's the extent of our involvement," said Special Agent Dave Couvertier, a spokesman for the Orlando and Tampa FBI.

Missing Girl May Dead, Detective Says; Mom's Car Smelled Of Decomposition
Hair Similar To Missing Girl's; Mystery Stain Found In Mother's Car, Officer Says

POSTED: 2:12 pm EDT July 22, 2008
UPDATED: 6:06 pm EDT July 22, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A missing 2-year-old girl may no longer be alive, a detective said during a bond hearing in a case that has gained national attention.

IMAGES: Missing Girl, Mother Images

Judge Stan Strickland set bond at $500,000 for Casey Anthony, 22, after hearing testimony from officers that a smell in her vehicle was decomposition and not trash and a K-9 dog alerted to human decomposition in her trunk.

Anthony was taken into custody Wednesday after detectives determined her daughter, Caylee, 2, had been missing since early June.

During Tuesday's testimony, new evidence was revealed involving the woman's car.

An attorney asked Orange County Sheriff's Detective Yuri Melich what was found.

"I actually went into the car to smell what the smell smelled like," Melich said. "Before, just before I came into (my current position), I was a homicide detective for two years with the Orange County Sheriff's Office and in my experience, the smell that I smell inside that car was of decomposition."

Melich said officers were told that there was a bag of trash in the car.

"The two smells were not the same," Melich said.

Melich said dirt and a mystery stain are being checked in the trunk of the car.

"Because they found hair samples in the trunk of the car that are similar in color and length to that of Caylee and they also found a stain in the trunk that came up under black light that is questionable," Melich said. "They also found some dirt inside the car that needs to be processed."

"Based on the evidence of human decomposition, would it lead you to believe -- would it not -- that there is a possibility that this child is no longer alive?" an attorney asked.

"Yes, that could be concluded," Melich said.

"Is Mrs. Anthony a suspect in that circumstance?" Melich said.

"I wouldn't use the word suspect, I would use the word person of interest," Melich said.

Deputy Sheriff Jason Forgey also testified that a K-9 cadaver dog alerted to human decomposition in Anthony's car.

"(The dog) put his head inside the vehicle and looked straight to the back seat," Forgey said. "He alerted to the odor of human decomposition."

"In the trunk of the car?" an attorney asked.

"Yes," Forgey said.

Strickland set bond at $500,000 and he ordered Anthony to have a GPS device attached to her body.

He said he didn't think he could please anyone before setting bond.

Strickland also said he's concerned that evidence presented in the court Tuesday possibly implicates Anthony in her daughter's death.

Anthony's attorney says there is circumstantial evidence of a possible homicide, but not enough to give prosecutors the confidence to charge Anthony with homicide, kidnapping or any similar offense.

Grandmother Testifies

Meanwhile, Cindy Anthony said her daughter should be released and is a good mother.

Anthony sat quietly in the Orange County courtroom as Circuit Judge Stan Strickland heard arguments concerning her release.

Anthony's mother testified why Casey should be released.

"Casey has not done anything," Anthony said. "Casey is a good mom."

"Do you want to have alone time with your daughter, to find your daughter?" Anthony's attorney Jose Baez asked.

"Absolutely," Cindy Anthony said. "She hasn't committed a crime. She needs to be home with her family. She can't speak to anybody where she is at. She stated that she was afraid to tell the police. She told them that."

Anthony also said investigators asked what kind of mother Casey is on Monday night.

"It's the first time they asked me questions of, did I ever see bruises or anything like that," Anthony said. "The first time was last night."

Anthony said she would pay the bond to free her daughter.

"Do you think you can speak to your daughter one-to-one and possibly find some information that would help find Caylee?" Baez said.

"I would certainly hope she would want to open up to me," Anthony's father, George, said.

Anthony was denied bail at a hearing last week after investigators said the 22-year-old did nothing but lied to them.

Also, Anthony's brother testified that he tried to delay his mother from initially calling police because he said Casey maintained she knew where the child was and that she was safe. He said Casey told them she would take them to the girl in the morning. "I was pleading with my mother to wait because I knew I could get through to Casey," Lee Anthony said.

Grandmother: Family Likely Threatened

Earlier, Cindy Anthony said her daughter has "her reasons" for not being 100 percent honest with police, during a nationally televised interview.

"She has her reasons why she can't be completely honest with (investigators)," Anthony said. "She told them she was fearful to go to the police. I think Casey is frightened that somebody that she feels very, um, I think Casey is frightened for another person."

Cindy Anthony told Lara Spencer of "The Early Show" that she believes her daughter was betrayed by someone she trusted.

"I think Casey trusted her with the same person she has trusted her with for a long time and that person has betrayed her and has since then been threatening her, and that is why she can't be 100 percent honest in everything that she is telling people," Anthony said.

"I don't believe my daughter is in danger," grandfather George Anthony said. "My granddaughter is the one who is in danger. She is not the one with us."

Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said investigators have made the process more difficult by taking Casey into custody when they did.

"My client told me that she does not know where Caylee is," Anthony family attorney Baez said. "We are going to do everything we can to assist law enforcement in any way possible while still trying to protect my client's interest. I have to do my job here. They decided to arrest her at a certain point and launch criminal charges and that is what has made this communication a little more difficult."

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Caylee is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Could Caylee Be In Atlanta?
Last Edited: Wednesday, 23 Jul 2008, 12:06 AM EDT
Created: Wednesday, 23 Jul 2008, 12:06 AM EDT

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Late Tuesday the lawyer for Casey Anthony, mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony said on a Fox News show that they had received a credible tip that a small child matching the description of Caylee was seen at Orlando International Airport boarding a flight to Atlanta.


According to attorney Jose Baez the tip was more credible because he said the little girl pronounced her name the same way that the grandparents did.

Cindy Anthony, grandmother to the child confirmed the tip did indeed surface late Tuesday. According to Anthony, the tip was from a woman who lives in Orlando, and Anthony heard the tip when she checked her voicemail. Anthony called the woman back and they talked.

The caller claimed to have seen Caylee board the flight with an older woman. When she talked to the woman and child, the youngster apparently said her name was Caylee ‘Antony’, without the"h" the way Anthony says Caylee does. Also, when asked her age, the little girl said three. Caylee is almost three. Cindy Anthony said she is very excited because this woman seems very credible.

Anthony added that she notified investigators and said if they don't pick it up tomorrow

Grandmother: Missing Toddler's Mom Took Vacation In Jax
2-Year-Old's Mother's Bond Set At $500K

POSTED: 12:26 am EDT July 23, 2008
UPDATED: 12:50 am EDT July 23, 2008


Central Florida investigators involved in the search for Caylee, a 2-year-old Florida girl who has been missing for more than a month, said on Tuesday that the case is starting to look like a homicide.

A sheriff's detective testified that a car driven by the Anthony smelled of decomposition when investigators recovered it.

Casey Anthony's Pontiac was towed after being parked for days at an Orlando check-cashing business.

Cpl. Yuri Melich said that it appeared that a stain, some dirt and 2-year-old Caylee's hair were in the trunk.

"I actually went into the car to smell what the smell smelled like," Melich said. "Before, just before I came into (current position), I was a homicide detective for two years with the Orange County Sheriff's Office and in my experience, the smell that I smelled inside that car was of decomposition."

A judge set bond at $500,000 for the girl's mother, who was charged with obstructing the investigation after investigators say she lied to them.

Circuit Judge Stan Strickland said he's concerned that evidence

presented in court possibly implicates 22-year-old Anthony in Caylee's death.

Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said investigators have made the process more difficult by taking Casey into custody when they did.

"My client told me that she does not know where Caylee is," Baez said. "We are going to do everything we can to assist law enforcement in any way possible while still trying to protect my client's interest. I have to do my job here. They decided to arrest her at a certain point and launch criminal charges and that is what has made this communication a little more difficult."

Anthony was arrested last week after reporting her daughter missing. The girl hasn't been seen since last month.

Anthony's attorney said there is circumstantial evidence of a possible homicide, but not enough to give prosecutors the confidence to charge Anthony with homicide, kidnapping or any similar offense.

Testimony during Tuesday's bond hearing for Anthony revealed some new details and a possible connection involving Jacksonville.

Anthony's mother testified that her daughter and a friend, Jeff Hopkins, vacationed in Jacksonville sometime between June 16 and July 15 -- during the time police said Caylee was already missing.

According to a police report, Hopkins is one of only two people Anthony told about her missing daughter. What the two were doing in Jacksonville or where they stayed in the city remains a mystery.

Investigators in Jacksonville told Channel 4 the investigation is centered in Orlando and they could not comment any further.

"Of course it is their case, so we cannot confirm or deny any investigation going on here," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.

Meanwhile, in Orlando, Anthony's mother said she would pay the bond to free her daughter.

"Absolutely," the 22-year-old's mother said. "She hasn't committed a crime. She needs to be home with her family. She can't speak to anybody where she is at. She stated that she was afraid to tell the police. She told them that."

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Caylee is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Missing Florida 2-Year-Old`s Mother Named Person of Interest



THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight. Police desperately searching for a beautiful little 2-year-old Florida girl, Caylee, after her grandparents report her missing. It`s a story that becomes more and more convoluted every moment. Little Caylee hasn`t been seen in five long weeks, last seen with her mother. So why didn`t Mommy call police?
Headlines tonight. In the last hour, bombshell. A lead detective testifies the mom`s car reeked -- reeked! -- of human decomposition, specifically in the car trunk. Do hairs taken from the trunk match little Caylee`s? And the timeline now in complete disarray after the grandmother changes her story! Does an ex-boyfriend place little Caylee alive, alive as late as June 24. Tonight, police name the mom, Casey Anthony, a person of interest. Where is 2-year-old Caylee?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He was the first Orange County detective to talk to 22-year-old Casey Anthony. Yuri says when they finally got permission to search the car, they opened it up and it smelled of death.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I actually went into the car to smell what the smell smelled like. Briefly, just before I came into the job (INAUDIBLE) I was homicide detective for two years with Lawrence (ph) County sheriff`s office. In my experience, the smell that I smelled inside that car was the smell of decomposition.

CYNTHIA ANTHONY, MISSING GIRL`S GRANDMOTHER: When Casey said that she wasn`t going to take me to Caylee right away because Caylee had been with the sitter and she didn`t want her to be disrupted that night by seeing me after so long, I got a little anxious because I thought Caylee was with Casey.

I told her, Tell me where Caylee is, or I`m going to go to the police. She said, She`s with Danny (ph). Do what you want.

GRACE: And tonight, "Batman" star in holy dust-up? Did Hollywood superstar Christian Bale go from caped crusader on screen to the dark side off screen? After walking the red carpet, Christian Bale heads straight to a London police station. He`s accused of assaulting his mother and sister at an upscale London hotel. But explain this. Why didn`t they call police at the time of the alleged incident? Why did they time their complaint to coincide with the world premier of "The Dark Knight"? Bale, squeaky clean, with no arrest record whatsoever, gives his story to police.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Christian Bale, the star of the hottest movie right now in the world, was arrested in London. Bale`s mother and older sister allege that Bale assaulted them on Sunday night. That was the day before the European premier of "The Dark Knight," which stars Bale as Batman.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He`s real mature (ph). He`s somebody with the responsibility of power now, and he`s also come across the archetypal enemy, somebody who has no rules. You can`t leverage him with anything.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Christian Bale was staying at a suite on Sunday when the alleged assault took place. It`s thought (ph) his mother and sister told officers he lashed out at them when they reported the allegation at the police station in Hampshire. The film star should have been back here this afternoon to do more promotional interviews. Instead, he was subjected to a rather different form of interrogation. The 34-year- old was released from Belgravia police station on bail this evening, pending further inquiries. After the death of co-star Heath Ledger, it`s a second strange development connected to this film.

GRACE: Good evening. I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us. Breaking news tonight. A beautiful 2-year-old little Florida girl, Caylee, still missing in a story that becomes more and more convoluted by the moment. In the last hours, bombshell. Mom`s car reeks of decomposition, according to trained cadaver dogs. Where is 2-year-old Caylee?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Police testified at her mother, Casey Anthony`s, bail hearing in Orlando today. Now, the officer says her mom`s car smelled like a decomposing body. The white Pontiac was abandoned at a check- cashing business. Police say they found Caylee`s hair in the trunk, and that`s when investigators called in a cadaver dog.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) jumped up into the trunk, front paws, stuck his head in, backed back up, did the eye contact and moved to the right rear passenger side, rear fender/trunk-taillight area and gave me a fine (ph) train (ph) of alert.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What`s that mean?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He alerted to the odor of human decomposition.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Casey Anthony (INAUDIBLE) suspect in that circumstance.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I wouldn`t use the word "suspect." I would use the word "person of interest."

ANTHONY: Casey has lied to me in the past, and when she`s lied, she`s told me the truth. We`ve always gotten to the bottom of the truth.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You called the police that night...

ANTHONY: Correct.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... for a reason.

ANTHONY: Correct.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What reason?

ANTHONY: Because after speaking with Casey, I did not get to see Caylee. I was not satisfied with her answers. It was my opinion that something was wrong that I called the police. Call it a hunch. I had a pretty good hunch that night. I have a pretty good hunch now.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Straight out to Rory O`Neill. We are taking your calls live. Rory in court today. What happened?

RORY O`NEILL, METRO NETWORKS: Oh, so much, Nancy. Probably the most significant developments involved the decomposition smell that you already talked about, plus this change of the timeline. It was because the police last night had actually made a phone call to Caylee`s grandmother, asking her if she`s sure about the last time she saw Caylee. That`s because videotape that the family released over the weekend showed the young girl was actually with her great-grandfather on Father`s Day. That would be the 15th, almost a full week after they thought was the last time they saw her alive.

GRACE: Now, let me get something straight, Rory O`Neill -- Rory joining us from Metro Networks. He was in court today. The grandmother apparently took Caylee to visit the great-grandfather in a rest home or an assisted living facility on Father`s Day, is that correct?

O`NEILL: That`s right, and that`s the videotape now that we`ve seen - - we`ve gotten a lot of still photos, but the videotape that came out over the weekend. The police looked at that, determined the date of it was filmed on the 15th. And then it was a lightbulb for the grandmother, who said, That`s right. I took that video on the 15th, so the 9th of June is not the last time I saw Caylee.

GRACE: To Marc Klaas, child advocate. He`s the founder of Beyondmissing.com. How can you confuse that, Father`s Day, seeing the baby alive on Father`s Day?

MARC KLAAS, BEYONDMISSING.COM: I don`t have any idea how she could do that. Unfortunately, it just calls into question the credibility of this family more and more. But what I think is happening here is I think that Cindy Anthony`s world is crashing in around her as these new revelations are being made known.

GRACE: You know what? I think you`re right about that, Marc Klaas. We are taking your calls live. Out to the lines. Geri in Florida. Hi, Geri.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. Good evening.

GRACE: Thank you, dear. What`s your question?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, first of all, I want to thank you for all you`re doing and your inspiration.

GRACE: Thank you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And if you ever come to Boca, I`d be glad to take the pictures of your gorgeous twins (INAUDIBLE)

GRACE: Thank you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My question is, are we sure that the father has passed away, and whether he is or not, that this could be some kind of custody thing or that they don`t want the other grandparents to see the child and that`s why the grandmother is helping cover up?

GRACE: Rory O`Neill, where is the dad, for once and for all?

O`NEILL: Well, the police say that they believe Caylee`s story that - - rather, Casey`s story that the father of the baby was killed one year ago in a traffic accident. They say that`s their story that they were told, and that`s one of the few tales from Casey that they actually believe.

GRACE: OK, Rory, tell me about the cadaver dog. That is significant, significant evidence.

O`NEILL: Very much so because -- the family had tried to explain away the cadaver smell -- or the stench, rather, in the car as saying it was an old pizza that was left in the abandoned car, and it was a maggot-filled pizza that caused the odor.

Well, this is the first time we heard Detective Melich on the stand today saying, no, when he smelled it -- he`s a trained -- he`s an old homicide detective. He knows that smell. And then they brought the dogs in, and a cadaver dog, a specially trained dog, also picked up on that same odor. It was an odor of, really, decomposing flesh. And that`s what the dog found both in trunk of the car and at the back yard of the Anthony home.

GRACE: So was there a decayed, maggot-filled pizza in the back yard, too?

O`NEILL: Well, the family was not there. Actually, at the time the digging was taking place, the grandmother was here at the time, so you know, she was actually surprised to see just as -- she was being interviewed by you at the time, so it was -- so she wasn`t there to clear out a pizza, that`s for sure.

GRACE: To Sergeant Scott Haines, sheriff`s officer, Santa Rosa County, Florida. Sergeant, thank you for being with us. Nobody`s story -- nobody`s story -- fits together. The mother`s doesn`t fit with the grandmother`s. Their story doesn`t fit with the ex-boyfriend -- a former cop, I might add, that states he hears little Caylee, 100 percent certain it`s her, on June 28. June 28, he places the girl alive. The phone record has checked out. There was an 18-minute phone call to this woman, the mother, Casey. The girl, the baby, is in the background, alive.

Now this is blowing the timeline wide open. What do you think?

SGT. SCOTT HAINES, SHERIFF`S OFFICER, SANTA ROSA COUNTY, FLORIDA: It`s hard to know what to think. Like you stated before, no one in this whole situation is being truthful in reference to this whole thing. The stories have changed...

GRACE: OK, Sergeant, Sergeant, Sergeant -- I`m just a trial lawyer. You`re the expert. OK. Don`t rehash what we already know. Tell me what you think. What is your professional opinion, Sergeant?

HAINES: My professional opinion is she`s lying and she knows exactly where her child is at. And unfortunately, I don`t think it`s a good situation.

GRACE: Sergeant, I think you`re right.

Speaking of the cadaver dogs, the biggest bombshell to hit the courtroom today, we learned that cadaver dogs hit -- hit -- alerted in the -- specifically in the trunk of Casey Anthony`s vehicle.

And with us tonight, we have two very special guests to explain to you how a cadaver dog functions. With us is Tracy Sargent. She is with Homeland Security, joining us tonight, and with her, her cadaver dog, called a detection dog, Cinco. How long did Cinco train, Tracy?

TRACY SARGENT, K-9 HANDLER: He`s 3 years old, and he`s been in training since he was 4 months old.

GRACE: And tonight you`re going to show us a demonstration. What is the object you believe Cinco will alert on?

SARGENT: Yes, Nancy, we have here in the studio scented material that has been in a body bag with a decomposing person. The dog will show us, in this case sit down, and tell us there is human remains scent in this area. And he`ll demonstrate that for us.

GRACE: So Tracy Sargent is with from Homeland Security. Tracy, you`re telling me that this is a cloth material, I believe you said part of a sheet earlier, that was in a body bag. Yes, no?

SARGENT: Yes, ma`am, that is correct.

GRACE: OK, please proceed with Cinco. I`d like to see this.

SARGENT: Cinco, sit. Hunt!

What you notice, Nancy, he`s sitting down. The pillow that he`s facing, there is an article there that is human remains scent. And we`ll show that to you. This container, again, has a sheet from a cadaver. So this right here tells us there is human remains scent in this area, based upon the dog`s trained alert.

GRACE: OK, Tracy, you`re telling me that the material -- please, camera, go back to Cinco and Tracy. You`re telling me the material is inside that container?

SARGENT: Yes, ma`am. What you see, it`s a sheet directly from a person where they died in their bed. This sheet has been soaked with cadaver fluids. And the dog tells us there`s human remains scent in this location.

GRACE: And Cinco, who is a male, smelled that through the container and through the plastic wrapping you have in your hand, correct?

SARGENT: Yes, ma`am, that`s correct. Their sense of smell is so great that it`s almost impossible to cover up any scent, be it drugs or a decomposing person, from a dog.

GRACE: And every type of dog, be it a fire dog, a drug dog, a cadaver dog, they are trained to a specific scent. Like, Cinco would not hit on drugs.

SARGENT: That`s correct. He is specifically trained to find people, dead or alive -- in this case, human remains. Also animal remains, they are trained not to alert on that, as well.

GRACE: Oh, really? Now, that`s something I wanted to ask you about because the dog in Caylee`s case hit specifically in the trunk of her mother`s vehicle. Now, if there had been an accident where an animal was run over, for instance -- I`m hypothesizing here -- the dog wouldn`t hit on any remain other than a human remain, Tracy?

SARGENT: That`s correct. A dead animal and a dead person is totally different to a dog.

GRACE: Out to Dr. Lawrence Kobilinsky, forensic scientist joining us tonight. Cadaver fluid -- what is it?

LAWRENCE KOBILINSKY, FORENSIC SCIENTIST: Well, Nancy, what happens after a person dies is that there`s a breakdown of proteins and a synthesis of two very pungent breakdown products, or amino acids. One is called putrescine, the other is called cadaverine, very pungent smells. Once you smell it, you never forget it and you know exactly what the smell of death is. And that is what these dogs are recognizing, putrescine and cadaverine.

And furthermore, the homicide detective that has had apparently vast experience dealing with death recognized the same smell. So I`m very suspicious at this point and it`s a very bad sign, ominous sign, at this stage.

GRACE: You`re seeing again Tracy Sargent with Cinco from Homeland Security. Tracy, I know that you are familiar with the facts of the missing little girl in Florida. The cadaver dog hit specifically on the trunk of the car of the mother, the car belonging to the mother, in the trunk just above the right taillight. Now, your dog is trained to sit in the area on which it hits. What about other dogs? Do they bark? Do they scratch? Do they alert in any other manner?

SARGENT: Yes, ma`am. There`s a variety of ways we can train these dogs to indicate to us there is scent. In Cinco`s case, it`s a sit. Other dogs, it may be a bark, lie down or scratch.

GRACE: And you reward the dog with what?

SARGENT: Generally, we reward them with a toy. In this case, Cinco, it`s a baseball.

GRACE: I want to go back out to Rory O`Neill, reporter with Metro Networks, in court today. From my vantage point of what was happening in court, I noticed that the mother and the grandmother cried throughout until the evidence regarding the cadaver dog came in. Then both of the wells dried up. What happened?

O`NEILL: Well, that was an interesting time because that was really the first time we`d heard any of that evidence. And I think also for the grandmother, perhaps, it`s a sign of, you know, the hope that she may have been holding on may start to fade, if you start hearing reports of cadaver dogs finding scent in this car and in the back yard. So I think for her, it might have been that. I couldn`t really tell Casey`s immediate reaction to the news of the cadaver dog. But it obviously was a sobering moment for anyone who was in that courtroom.

GRACE: Out to the lines. Let`s go to Sheeba in Illinois. Hi, Sheeba.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy, dear. I wanted to ask a couple of questions. One of them, that they said she borrowed the neighbor`s shovel to dig up some bamboo or something that hurt the baby`s feet?

GRACE: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And then she took it back. Well, it looks like to me she would have probably had to have her own shovel if this was an ongoing thing. So maybe she could have -- I hate to think of it -- buried this baby somewhere else.

GRACE: It`s my understanding that the day Casey Anthony needed a shovel, for whatever reason, the tool house in their back yard was locked. She couldn`t get to the shovel, Sheeba. So that is the explanation for using a neighbor`s shovel.

But very quickly, Rory O`Neill, who came up with the pizza explanation for the reeking car?

O`NEILL: That was the grandparents who said there was an old pizza in the back causing the smell, and they had actually gotten rid of it in a bag. But the cadaver dog smelled something very different.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The crime scene investigators are working on the car, trying to determine the -- where the -- where the smell is coming from, if it`s coming from a particular area of the car. And one of the areas that they focused on now is the trunk of the car.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Why is that?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Because they found hair samples in the trunk of the car that are similar in length and color to that of Caylee. They also found a stain inside the trunk of the car that came up under black light that`s questionable that we need to process. They also found some dirt inside the trunk of the car that needs to be processed.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Bombshell tonight, and there`s nothing good about it. Cadaver dogs hit on the vehicle belonging to Caylee`s mother, specifically the trunk. According to Rory O`Neill from Metro Networks, in court today, he says the whole theory that the -- there was an old pizza in the car that made the dog hit on it came from the grandparents.

Back out to Tracy Sargent. She`s here with her detection dog, Cinco. They`re both from Homeland Security. Tracy, do cadaver dogs actually alert on food ever?

SARGENT: No, ma`am, they do not. That`s one of the training things we do with these dogs, that any distraction we may find out there, they are trained also that they are only to alert to human remains scent.

GRACE: And to the lawyers, Raymond Giudice, Courtney Anderson. What about the bond, Ray Giudice?

RAY GIUDICE, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, look, Nancy, bond is not a law enforcement tool to sweat out a confession. It`s a tool for the court to make sure the defendant will come back to court. This judge found that a half a million dollar bond, which is certainly significant, plus a GPS restriction, is enough to insure her return to court to face these charges, which right now are not high.

GRACE: Courtney?

COURTNEY ANDERSON, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, I`m going to put on my defense attorney hat here very vigorously. If I understand correctly, today in the bond hearing that the police detective did -- under questioning, did say that there`s nothing at this point linking the mother to the disappearance of the child. Now, there`s a lot happening. Certainly, the bottom line is the child is missing. But I think it`s important that we not rush to conclusion.

GRACE: A cadaver dog hits. The mom is lying about the location of her children. I don`t know what you mean by rushing to conclusion. We`ll be right back. We`re taking your calls live.

To tonight`s Amber Alert. The search for a missing 4-year-old girl, Manassas, Virginia, Decareyonna Bryche Walker-Mays, last seen July 12. Police say the girl`s mom, not the legal custodian, claims to take the baby to lunch, never returns. They may be headed to Rock Island, Illinois, or Davenport, Iowa. Please take a look. The little girl 3-6, 40 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes, pierced ears. If you have information, please call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 1-800-THE-LOST.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There was a tip that came in that we followed up on, indicating that somebody -- a hairdresser, in particular -- had seen Caylee with bruises on her arms, bruises on her body and a mark on her eye. Reason that concerned me was that I retrieved a photo from another witness on a cell phone (INAUDIBLE) cell phone photograph or a phone photograph, that showed Caylee with a mark underneath her eye. So obviously, that witness, not knowing I had this photo, making mention of that, I started looking at, Well, maybe there`s something underlying that I haven`t been asking about. And that`s why I approached the family about it last night.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Straight back to Rory O`Neill with Metro Networks, in court today. What can you tell me about the mom allegedly being seen hitting little Caylee in the past, and about this photo?

O`NEILL: Well, that was -- that was the two pieces of information the detective was trying to put together, and that was the last conversation he had with the grandmother. So he hears this story from the hairdresser that the child had multiple injuries. He has this -- or bruises -- I shouldn`t -- maybe not a severe as injuries. He has this photo of the girl with another mark on her cheek. So that forced him to call the grandparents last night. he didn`t get too much further about that on the stand, though, during his testimony today.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: On the 15th, Casey maintained for the majority of 45 minutes before my mother called the authorities that she knew where Caylee was and she would take her there in the morning.

It was at that time when the police came. My mother was very frustrated that it came to that. When my mom removed herself from the situation, I, at that time, pleaded with my sister, made her aware -- she wasn`t aware -- that my mom was outside and that she couldn`t hear us.

At that time when I asked her, what are you going to do when the police get here? Because there`s nothing in this for you right now if Caylee is OK. That`s when Casey broke down and cried and she told me at that time, I have not seen my daughter in 31 days.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: That is the brother of mom Casey Anthony, and even that was a lie. Not what he`s saying on the stand, but apparently what his sister, the mother, recounted to him, because she says she hasn`t seen her daughter in 31 days.

But according to an ex-boyfriend who is a former cop, and a -- phone record backs up his story -- on June 24 he hears the little girl in the background on the phone. He`s 100 percent sure that that was Caylee, which totally torpedoes the story she told her own brother who swore to it under oath.

It`s a convoluted story that at the heart of it all is the location and possibly the life of a 2-year-old little Florida girl.

We are taking your calls. To Bonnie in Canada, hi, Bonnie.

BONNIE, CANADIAN RESIDENT: Hi, Nancy Grace. You are such a blessing for us. Thank you.

GRACE: Thank you. What is your question, dear?

BONNIE: I was wondering, because the grandmother was so curious -- she was -- not curious. She became alert about the disappearance of her -- not being able to see her granddaughter for such a long time. Is there a history -- is there a child protective services file on the mom?

GRACE: Very interesting. Based on the mother, the grandmother being so concerned.

Rory O`Neill, has DFACS, Department of Family and Children Services, ever been called in on Casey Anthony, the mother?

RORY O`NEILL, REPORTER, METRO NETWORKS: No, there`s been no record of any trouble at all. But the child -- and you know, is seemingly a very happy household. Very stayable with the grandparents, living in the house, and really young Caylee living in that house basically full time.

So it had been a very stable, simple family home until all of this happened, I guess, now five weeks ago.

GRACE: To Sergeant Scott Haines, officer with Santa Rosa County Sheriff`s Office there in Florida -- Sergeant, the grandmother has now changed the story. She`s placing Caylee alive one week later. How does this affect the search for the little girl?

SERGEANT SCOTT HAINES, SHERIFF`S OFFICER, SANTA ROSA COUNTY, FL.: I don`t think it`s actually going to affect the search of the little girl. The detectives seem like they`re doing a good job. And with all the evidence that they have and the cadaver dogs in this thing, that one week is not going to play a part.

It goes down to she waited that long. And she knows things that she`s more worried about saving for her defense than saving her girl. And that`s a very disturbing fact.

GRACE: Are you referring to the grandmother?

HAINES: I`m referring to everybody involved. The defense attorney is saying that they have all this information, that they can`t disclose because it may incriminate their client, and they`re wanting immunity.

If there`s going to be consequences for this woman, she should be more worried about her child and saving her child than worrying about if she`s going to spend a little bit time in jail for something if, in fact, her child is alive.

GRACE: You know what, Sergeant Scott Haines, you just brought up an interesting point. I`m going to go to Marc Klaas now.

Did you hear Haines mention the mother will talk to police if she`s granted immunity?

MARC KLAAS, FOUNDER, BEYONDMISSING.COM, FATHER OF MURDER VICTIM POLLY KLAAS: Well, her -- that should never be a condition of her release, if, in fact, she is concerned about finding her daughter.

One of the problems is that this investigation is no longer expanding. It`s contracting. We have numerous individuals who were acquaintances of Casey who have contacted law enforcement to either repute her timeline to show evidence of physical abuse, or to state that she is a pathological liar.

Her mother has now suggested that she may not any longer cooperate with law enforcement. There was a body in the trunk of the car. Caylee is still missing and nobody knows where she is.

This is just a terrible situation.

GRACE: Very quickly, Rory O`Neill. Marc Klaas touched on an important issue. The grandmother suggesting she may no longer cooperate with police. Why?

O`NEILL: I talked to the attorney -- her -- the attorney who represents Casey. He says that`s absolutely not true. The family is willing to cooperate. And he doesn`t agree with the testimony that was heard in today`s bond hearing.

GRACE: To psychotherapist Lauren Howard joining us out of New York -- Lauren, the grandmother has appeared defensive and combative. Why?

LAUREN HOWARD, PSYCHOTHERAPIST: It`s very difficult to figure out if they`re -- if they`re closing ranks and protecting one another, or if they`re both complicit.

What the attorney is telling us is that they have information, or at least the mother has information. So on the one hand grandmother is the one who alerted the police. On the other hand she`s kind of running for cover.

So, as this unfolds, and it will unfold, it will probably be a simpler story than our -- than the crisis for imagination will lead us to believe. It will be revealed. But at this point to conjecture and figure it out, it`s so sort of almost diabolical.

And to me, it speaks of a certain enmeshment between the mother and daughter, you know, a kind of -- where the boundaries don`t begin and end appropriately.

GRACE: I think you`re right, because the grandmother told me pointblank that Casey says she wanted to go away on a vacation with her daughter Caylee so they could bond. That she wasn`t able to bond with her 2-year-old little girl living there in the house with the grandmother. The grandmother told me that.

Let`s unleash the lawyers, Raymond Giudice out of Atlanta, child lawyer Courtney Anderson, out of Austin, Texas.

To Raymond Giudice, both you and Courtney suggested, there`s very little evidence. Well, I find it very strong evidence that Casey Anthony`s car was abandoned by her and now cadaver dogs hit in her car.

RAY GIUDICE, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well.

GRACE: They only hit on human remains, Raymond.

GIUDICE: Well, so I assume the district attorney is preparing an indictment for homicide right now, because if there`s enough probable cause, according to you, that`s what they should be doing.

GRACE: No, that`s not what I said. I said that there`s very strong evidence.

GIUDICE: OK. But.

GRACE: You and Courtney suggest there`s no evidence whatsoever.

GIUDICE: But there`s not even probable cause.

GRACE: Why don`t we just call it like it is?

GIUDICE: There`s not even probably cause.

GRACE: Did I say probable cause? Is that what I just said?

GIUDICE: That`s the lowest.

GRACE: No, it`s not. I said there`s a strong evidence.

GIUDICE: Nancy, the lowest form of evidence in a courtroom is probable cause, and they don`t even have that yet.

GRACE: Let me rephrase my question to Courtney Anderson. We`re not in court. We`re not battling it our in court. Let`s just talk about the facts as they really exist. Let`s not pretend about what`s going on here. This is a search for a little girl.

There is strong evidence. And I`m referring specifically to the issue of bond. We have a mother who is lying about the location of her child or withholding evidence. She won`t speak without immunity. Her lawyer says they want to talk, but he won`t return the sheriff`s phone calls. She abandons her car. And now a cadaver dog hits on her car.

What more do you think we need for probable cause, Courtney?

COURTNEY ANDERSON, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Look, the bottom line is we all want the little girl to be found. This is a reprehensible person. No matter what`s happened, no matter what has happened, whether she herself intentionally did something to the child or accidentally did something to the child, or she knows someone who did something to the child. For her to lying and playing games, it`s unbelievable.

We have to understand, the attorneys, the police, everyone is doing their job in this system. And doing it, it appears to be, to the best of their ability.

But I -- you know, we can`t expect that this woman who`s -- this kind of reprehensible person to do something that is reasonable.

GRACE: Yes, you know what? The both of you are right in the sense that we -- the three of us are trying to apply logic to an illogical situation.

To Dr. Lawrence Kobilinsky, joining us, forensic scientist, about the hair, the hair found in the trunk, what can you tell me? Why haven`t -- or tried to do a DNA match to hair from the little girl from the home?

LAWRENCE KOBILINSKY, FORENSIC SCIENTIST: Well, hair analysis for identification should only be done by comparing a question and a known. And you can do that visually, you can do it microscopically, or you can do it through DNA, as you just pointed out.

However, mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, which means that, Caylee`s mitochondrial DNA profile is shared by Casey, by Casey`s brother, by her mother. So it`s not unique.

So here, we have to look at this microscopically and visually, and determine if there is a match or not, then we can say.

GRACE: Yes, no? Dr. Kobilinsky, if they have nucleus from the hair in the trunk and you have a nucleus of the little girl`s hair from a brush or comb in the home, can you make a mitochondrial match?

KOBILINSKY: No, it -- well, if the hair is Caylee`s, and they`re comparing it to the mother`s, they can determine that there`s commonality here. If there`s nuclear DNA, that will make a difference, yes

From the link:

Describing the case as "absolutely bizarre," Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland set Anthony's bail at more than $500,000 and ordered her to be monitored by a GPS device if she posts bail. Strickland said he thinks Anthony has no intention of aiding investigators in finding Caylee and that the testimony he heard in court will "keep me up tonight."

"I just heard some fairly compelling evidence as to a body decomposing, and truth be known, it could only be one," said Strickland, who presided over the nearly three-hour bond hearing.

Outside the courtroom, Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, said she thinks her granddaughter is still alive

Crime Expert Analyzes Casey Anthony Case, Evidence

POSTED: 4:04 pm EDT July 23, 2008
UPDATED: 4:17 pm EDT July 23, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Channel 9's Eric Rasmussen carefully laid out the facts in the Casey Anthony case with a crime expert to try to piece together what really happened to the woman's 2-year-old daughter.

At last check, a garage at the sheriff's office is where detectives took Casey Anthony's car. They say it contained a number of troubling clues. Combine that with a timeline of events since little Caylee disappeared and at least one expert says there's a theory building about what really happened to the little girl.

Where is 2-year-old Caylee Anthony? Detectives may not yet have the answer, but it now appears they're working on one troubling scenario.

"There is a possibility this child is no longer alive?" a prosecutor asked Orange County Detective Yuri Melich during the bond hearing for Casey Anthony on Tuesday.

"Yes, that can be concluded," Melich said.

He confirmed a series of clues in court on Tuesday.

The Anthony's Backyard: Involved a tip that Casey Anthony borrowed a shovel from a neighbor. Two cadaver dogs pointed to the smell of decomposition near Caylee's playhouse.

Casey Anthony's Car: Detectives reported a different dog alerted to the same strong smell in the trunk after the white Pontiac had been abandoned in a parking lot.

"They have a hypothesis that the child may have somehow passed away," Dr. Richard Weinblatt told Eyewitness News.

Weinblatt, a former police chief and manager of Seminole Community College's Criminal Justice Program, said detectives must consider why there was evidence of a body in the car and at the home.

"The body could've been placed there and a person or persons could've changed their mind and decided to move the body elsewhere," he said.

Anthony's family insisted there was another reason for the smell.

"There was a bag of pizza for 12 days in a car full of maggots," Casey's mother Cynthia Anthony told reporters while leaving her daughter's bond hearing Tuesday.

"Do you think you would mistake the smell of a body for trash?" WFTV reporter Eric Rasmussen asked Weinblatt.

"Absolutely not. It's very, very distinctive," he said.

Weinblatt says other evidence from the car could solidify the case investigators are building.

"They say they found hair, they found a stain and they found dirt. What are they doing with that evidence? They have to process it. Where did the dirt come from? Does it match soil samples they found in the back yard?" he said.

Orange County detectives have not officially ruled out the chance that Caylee might still be alive and Weinblatt said it's not uncommon for investigators to consider multiple theories until they can nail one down for sure.

Undisclosed Holds Put On Release Of Missing Toddler's Mother

POSTED: 12:00 pm EDT July 22, 2008
UPDATED: 4:32 pm EDT July 23, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The mother of a missing 2-year-old girl remained in the Orange County jail Wednesday afternoon, held on a $500,000 bond that was set during a lengthy hearing Tuesday.

Casey Anthony's daughter Caylee has been missing for weeks and her family is trying to come up with the money to set the child's mother free.

Eyewitness News learned that Casey's parents had scheduled a video visit with their daughter Wednesday, something that is usually public record, but investigators asked the jail not to release info about whether that is actually happening.

Eyewitness News also learned Wednesday that there are four holds on Anthony before she's released. Two are related to the judge's requirements and two are undisclosed, but the jail won't explain why they aren't being disclosed. Immigration issues, a warrant for another charge or a mental health evaluation are sometimes the reasons for an undisclosed holds.

Casey's parents are trying to make bond, which requires $50,000 in cash and $450,000 in assets, something they said they don't have. However, a bondsman could take the risk by not requiring that the family provide the full amount in assets.

Casey Anthony's attorney said the bond should have been $10,000 dollars, because she has no criminal history. The judge said, because of Anthony's strange behavior and lack of cooperation since her daughter disappeared, the high bond was warranted.

George and Cindy Anthony said they are doing what they can to gather the money together and spent hours late Tuesday in their attorney's office making a plan to get their daughter Casey out of jail.

"We're doing everything we can to get her out. We're working on it. That's why we can't talk right now," said Jose Baez, the family's attorney.

I copied this from WS

Fact #1 - On July 3rd, Cindy wrote a message on her MySpace page in which she laments the conflicts between herself and her daughter, Casey. From what she posted, it's apparent that mother and daughter had a lot of issues and that Casey was not living at home and punishing Cindy by not allowing her to see her granddaughter, Caylee. In that message she states that Casey has stolen from her family after all they've done for her, and lists the expenses the grandparents have had relating to Casey and Caylee. This message was posted before the events of July 15th and all the subsequent conflicting statements, so I think we do have to take this at face value........as of July 3rd, Cindy and Casey were involved in a conflict.

Fact #2 - There is a video of Caylee reading a book at an assisted living complex where Cindy's father is a resident and it's been determined that the date of the video was Sunday, June 15th, Father's Day. This is the last confirmed sighting of Caylee, omitting all the conflicting statements by family and friends.

Fact #3 - On June 30th, a car registered to George and Cindy Anthony was towed from the parking lot of a check-cashing store in Orlando to an impound facility. The car was one that Casey Anthony had for her own personal use.

Fact #4 - On June 15th, Amy Huizenga returned from a week-long trip to Puerto Rico, and Casey Anthony picked Amy up at the airport. Amy had loaned Casey her car for the week that Amy was gone. Amy discovered that money and checks were missing.

Fact #5 - On July 15th the police were notified that Caylee Marie Anthony, age 2, was missing and has been missing for an undetermined length of time.

Fact #6 - On July 15th/16th the local LE took possession of the car that had been abandoned at the check-cashing store and on Thursday, July 17th, CSI did a forensic examination of the car. There was a terrible "stench" coming from the car and a cadaver dog hit on the right side of the trunk. In the trunk investigators found hair similar in length and color to Caylee's, a stain that showed up under black light, and dirt.

Fact #7 - On July 17th/18th LE conducted a search at the grandparent's home and cadaver dogs were brought in. The first cadaver dog hit on three location in the backyard. A second dog was brought in and the handler was told there was a hit but didn't say in what locations. The second dog hit on the same three locations. LE conducted digs on the areas the dogs hit on but didn't find a body.

Fact #8 - This one is most important! Since the report of a missing child was made, Orlando Police did not issue an Amber Alert (criteria not met) and have not conducted any searches for the missing child. I believe LE is operating on the belief that Caylee is deceased, otherwise they'd be undertaking all the normal organized search procedures we usually see in cases of a missing person.

NANCY GRACE

Tipster Says Missing Toddler Spotted on Flight to Atlanta

Aired July 23, 2008 - 20:00:00 ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight. Police desperately searching for a beautiful little 2-year-old Florida girl, Caylee, after her grandparents report her missing. It`s a story that becomes more and more convoluted. Little Caylee hasn`t been seen in five long weeks, last seen with her mother. So why didn`t Mommy call police?
Tonight, bombshell. We now learn trained cadaver dogs hit on not only the mom`s car trunk but in the grandmother`s back yard, as well, police so concerned they bring in another cadaver dog, who independently hits on the same two areas. Cops also reveal a tipster claims she saw little Caylee boarding a flight to Atlanta. The 2-year-old`s mom, Casey Anthony, named a person of interest. She says she`ll help police, all right, but only if granted full immunity from prosecution. Tonight, where is 2-year-old Caylee?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony likely will not be found alive. Even prosecutors are now saying this is beginning to look more and more like a homicide. Her mom, Casey Anthony, is charged with child neglect, lying to detectives. Cops testified in court yesterday that her car smelled like death. But Caylee`s grandmother had a different explanation for that. Just listen to what she said. Watch this exchange as she`s walking out of the courthouse.

CYNTHIA ANTHONY, MISSING GIRL`S GRANDMOTHER: Caylee is missing. And continue to look for Caylee. She is not dead.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How do you deal with what they`re saying about in the trunk of the car?

ANTHONY: There was a bag of pizza for, what, 12 days in the back of the car, full of maggots, that stunk so bad. You know how hot it`s been.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Did you ever see bruises on Caylee?

ANTHONY: I have a bruise. Am I abused?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Cadavers (SIC) don`t hit on pizza. Cadaver dogs do not hit on pizza.

And tonight, the mystery surrounding 23-year-old mom Stacy Peterson, vanishing up scale Chicago suburbs, husband/cop Drew Peterson the prime suspect in his fourth wife`s disappearance, the suspicious bathtub drowning of wife three officially ruled homicide. Tonight, is there finally a break in the case?

Long-time friends say -- of Peterson`s -- they were wired secretly by police for months, allegedly catching Peterson mocking the cops and wishing he had wife three cremated. Peterson then allegedly states on tape by the time Stacy`s body is found, he`ll be acquitted of her murder and escape justice because of double jeopardy. Peterson allegedly goes on to ask friends to sabotage a boat used in the search for Stacy and to destroy a memorial garden in Stacy`s memory.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Two of Drew Peterson`s former long-time friends are talking to "The Sun-Times."` They told the paper they were undercover informants, wearing wires for months to help authorities build a case against the ex-Bollingbrook cop.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No way that this happened. The Illinois State Police and the prosecutors would never allow a witness, an undercover witness, for seven months to talk to the media like this.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: All this starts (ph) as Peterson mocks investigators, saying she was in a dry bathtub. What a bunch of expletive idiots. Len Wawczak also recalls Peterson telling them, I should have had that "expletive" cremated. It would have cost me less, and I wouldn`t be going through this trouble. According to the paper, Wawczak also says that Peterson told him he wasn`t worried about them finding Stacy`s remains down the road because he figured by that time, he would have been tried and acquitted.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This morning, Drew Peterson spoke to reporters through his front door.

DREW PETERSON, SUSPECTED IN WIFE STACY`S DISAPPEARANCE: I`d love to talk to you, but my attorney has instructed me not to make any comments today.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You have to be thinking something about those comments that they made that they say on tape. They say, you know, this is going to be the end of you.

PETERSON: OK. We`ll see.

GRACE: Good evening. I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us tonight. Police desperately searching for a beautiful little 2- year-old Florida girl, Caylee, after her grandparents report her missing. It`s a story that becomes more and more convoluted. Little Caylee hasn`t been seen in five long weeks, last seen with her mother. So why didn`t Mommy call police? Cadaver dogs hit on the mom`s car. Was there a Caylee sighting on a flight to Atlanta? Tonight, the lawyer for mom Casey Anthony is with us live and taking your calls.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The family is investigating a possible sighting of Caylee at Orlando International Airport. Three members of the same family contacted the Anthonys, saying they spoke to the missing toddler and even asked her name as they all boarded a flight to Atlanta July 2.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She knows exactly which date, which flight. They can figure it out. You know, she knows approximately which row they were sitting at.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Investigators, however, believe Caylee may be dead, based in part on an odor inside the mother`s car.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My husband is a deputy sheriff. Years ago, he was a homicide investigator, as well. And the first thing he thought was human decomposition. I`m a nurse. I thought human decomposition.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: However, the family now believes that smell was merely a rotten slice of pizza. Today, they`re questioning the credibility of a sheriff`s cadaver dog that detected decomposition in the car, as well as in the grandparents` back yard.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don`t care what America thinks of me. If they think that I`m a (DELETED) because I`m standing up to the media that want to attack me, OK? If they want to take the focus on this face, if they want to do that, they can live with themselves.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: With us tonight, a special guest. The lawyer, Jose Baez, the attorney for Casey Anthony, little Caylee`s mother, is with us live. We are taking your calls live tonight.

First to Rory O`Neill with Metro Networks. Rory, what`s the latest?

RORY O`NEILL, METRO NETWORKS: Well, good evening, Nancy. There is a bit more hope today, especially for the whole Anthony family. That`s because of that new lead coming out of Orlando International Airport, where a family says they saw little Caylee getting on a plane bound for Atlanta. They met with detectives this afternoon, even a sketch artist trying to put information together. They actually reached out, contacted the grandparents directly, and then they were referred to police. And it`s really given the Anthony family hope that Caylee is still alive and was seen as recently as July the 2nd.

GRACE: Let`s go out to Casey Anthony`s attorney joining us tonight. He`s a veteran trial lawyer out of the Orlando, Florida, area. We`re happy to have with us tonight Jose Baez. Mr. Baez, thank you for being with us.

JOSE BAEZ, ATTORNEY FOR CASEY ANTHONY: Thank you for having me.

GRACE: Mr. Baez, it`s my understanding that police have discounted the tipster because the tipster, a woman, could not give a flight number or a date for the flight to Atlanta. Is that true?

BAEZ: No, that`s not true at all. In fact, we know the dates. We know the airline. We know the destination. So I believe that`s all being worked out. This is the first I`m hearing that they`ve discounted it. In fact, we find it to be a very credible lead because the entire family spoke with Caylee.

GRACE: Could you give us, then, that information, the date, the airline? We know the destination was Atlanta.

BAEZ: Well, unfortunately, I wrote it down and I don`t have it with me right now. But I do know that that is a very credible lead. And some of the things that -- what we find very credible about it is, A, it`s an entire family. It`s not just one person. B, the information that was gathered -- apparently, the way Caylee said her name is what really is encouraging the family because only the family would know exactly how she would say her name and...

GRACE: Without the H, "Antony."

BAEZ: Exactly. Antony, exactly. And not only that, she also includes her middle name when she says her name. When someone asks her what`s her name, she says, Caylee Marie Anthony.

GRACE: Marie. Well, anyone who`s watched this news story knows her name is Caylee Marie Anthony.

BAEZ: Yes, but someone -- you know, you`d have to make the conclusion that she wouldn`t just say Caylee Anthony. And also the "Antony" is also very encouraging. We`re also -- you know, this all happened in an airport, so we`re going to be able to verify certain things. But everything that we`ve -- all the information we`ve been given and everything indicates that this seems to be a credible lead.

GRACE: Well, sheriff`s investigators have told our producers that the tip does not lead them to be optimistic because, again, they state that there`s not a flight number, that there is not a date. And I find that very -- you know, that`s a complete dichotomy with what you`re telling me.

BAEZ: It certainly sounds that way.

GRACE: But you cannot remember even the flight carrier? You don`t know if it was Delta or Airtran coming out of Orlando?

BAEZ: I believe it was Airtran, but unfortunately...

GRACE: Well, that narrows it down to just a few flights a day, then.

BAEZ: Correct. No, I -- like I said, I wrote it down. I have it in my file. I didn`t know I was going to be asked about that, just, you know, the exact information. But I know for a fact that we have that information and we`re following through with it and following up.

GRACE: Question. When the tipster asked the little girl her name, did the tipster know that Caylee Anthony was missing?

BAEZ: No, she did not.

GRACE: And so she only put two and two together after seeing news reports.

BAEZ: Correct.

GRACE: Question. Why did she not go to police? Why did she contact Casey Anthony directly?

BAEZ: I believe she tried contacting police through the tip line, and unfortunately, we`ve had a couple of reports that they`re not -- they weren`t able to get through. And this isn`t the first person we`ve heard this from. So they took it a step further and contacted the Anthonys directly.

GRACE: Interesting because we`ve called the tip line and we got straight through. I want to ask you a couple of questions regarding your client. And I completely understand the attorney-client privilege. It`s my understanding that your client will not meet with police until she`s granted immunity. Is that true?

BAEZ: That`s totally not true. That`s 100 percent false. And I heard that in the beginning of your broadcast, and I was hoping to have an opportunity to clear that up. We have never, ever, ever told the police, Look, she`ll talk, but only if she`s released or granted immunity. Nothing like that ever transpired, and I...

GRACE: Well, Mr. Baez, why hasn`t she spoken and sat down with police since she was first interrogated?

BAEZ: Well, the police have not contacted me with any specific information that they want to ask her. I`ve instructed the police, and I even sent -- after there was a whole debate of going back and forth as to what I said and what they said, I decided to put it down on paper. I sent them a letter explaining to them, Look, I`m willing to have her accessible to you. We`re willing to assist in the search, so long as it`s concentrating on the search and not on her prosecution.

GRACE: Well, you know, it`s interesting...

BAEZ: I can`t expose my client to that.

GRACE: ... because Orange County sheriff`s deputy Carlos Padilla (ph) says that you, Jose Baez, have not returned detectives` calls to set up a meeting.

BAEZ: That`s untrue. And Mr. Padilla and I have had a couple of disagreements over the last week, and this is just another one of those.

GRACE: Well, if you`re agreeing to meet with them with your client, then why hasn`t it happened?

BAEZ: Well, you`d have to ask the detectives that. I mean, they`re the detectives. They`re supposed to be investigating this case. I don`t know what they`re doing, but it appears from every report that I get that they`re just simply concentrating on prosecuting Casey. For example...

GRACE: Well, don`t you believe, if that were true, Mr. Baez, that they would leap at the chance to be alone with you and your client in a squad car driving around town in a search for Caylee?

BAEZ: Well, they haven`t requested that, so maybe you`re a little bit ahead of them.

GRACE: So Padilla is completely lying when he says you have not returned his phone calls?

BAEZ: One hundred percent. One hundred percent.

GRACE: A couple of questions about your client`s earlier statements to police, for instance, claiming that she dropped her daughter, little Caylee, off at a baby-sitter`s house on June the 9th, and when she came back, they were gone.

BAEZ: Correct.

GRACE: Well, that`s not true.

BAEZ: Well, you know, I wasn`t privy to the conversations that she`s had with police. My conversations with her is that she dropped the baby off with the baby-sitter and she has not seen her since. And that`s...

GRACE: So she told you that, as well? Because her mother told us on air that that was her story, when, in fact, police did track down the so- called baby-sitter, Zenaida Gonzalez, who says she never even met Caylee or Casey Anthony and has never baby-sat for them ever in life.

BAEZ: And you can also refer to the same police report, where it says they showed her a photograph of the person they spoke with, and my client said that that is not the Zenaida Gonzalez.

GRACE: I`m sorry. I couldn`t hear you. Your client said what?

BAEZ: If you refer -- I guess you`re referring to the police report. But in that same police report, it states that they showed a photograph to my client and she stated that that was not Zenaida Gonzalez, the same Zenaida Gonzalez.

GRACE: She also told the police that the apartment where she dropped the child off -- she showed them the apartment -- that apartment has been vacant since February 29, Mr. Baez.

BAEZ: I`ve certainly heard -- I`ve seen that in the report, and that`s what the police are saying she said. I- unfortunately, she is locked up right now. I haven`t had the opportunity to go with her to specific locations to show me where she told the police that she dropped the child off and to verify a lot of these things. Unfortunately...

GRACE: You have had the opportunity to meet with her. You were in court with her...

BAEZ: Absolutely.

GRACE: ... and you also had time to prepare with her. And the jail allows attorney-client visits. You have had the opportunity to meet with her, so...

BAEZ: I didn`t say I haven`t had the opportunity to meet with her. I said I haven`t had the opportunity to go to these places with her to verify that what the police are saying she told them is the truth.

GRACE: So you`re...

BAEZ: Unfortunately...

(CROSSTALK)

GRACE: ... the theory that the police may be...

BAEZ: I`m sorry? I`m sorry. I couldn`t hear you. I was talking over you.

GRACE: So you`re functioning under the belief that the police have fabricated this?

BAEZ: No, no. I`m under the belief and it`s my experience that, number one, you don`t always believe everything you read in a police report. You verify it and you do your job and you do your investigation. So that`s part of my investigation that I have not had the opportunity to do yet because my client is locked up. And the only one who can take me to where she took the police would be my client. And I`m hoping to have the opportunity to do that relatively shortly.

GRACE: Well, another thing that is concerning, Mr. Baez -- everyone, with us tonight is the attorney for Caylee`s mom, Casey Anthony, a veteran trial lawyer, Jose Baez, joining us out of the Orlando, Florida, jurisdiction. It`s my understanding that she also told police she worked at Universal Studios and actually took them there, all the way there in the car, got out of the car, walked up to where she said she worked, and then finally turns around and says, You know what? I don`t work here. As it turns out, she was fired from there. So why would she lie about something as innocent as where she worked?

BAEZ: You know, again, that`s another -- that goes along the same lines. I don`t know if she actually told that to the police. I don`t know if that actually occurred the way they say it occurred. And I`d like to certainly look into that a little bit further. If there are audio recordings of their conversations, I`d like to be able to play them for my client and ask her about those things. But that is part of the process of defending a case. And that`s part of the things that I, unfortunately, because we`re not at the discovery phase, haven`t had the opportunity to do.

GRACE: You don`t have to be in the discovery phase preparing for trial to find out the truth from your client.

BAEZ: Well, you have to be in the discovery phase to get everything you need from the police, like audio recordings, so that way, you can go over them with your client and verify the accuracy...

GRACE: Mr. Baez...

BAEZ: ... or any interpretations or to see if any of this stuff was taken out of context.

GRACE: Yes. Mr. Baez...

BAEZ: That`s part of the job.

GRACE: ... where was your client for the four weeks that Caylee has been missing?

BAEZ: That`s -- part of that is some of the things that I simply can`t discuss because it`s protected by attorney-client privilege.

GRACE: But why? Why is that a secret, if she wants to find her little girl alive?

GRACE: Well, I`m certain -- you know, you`re an attorney, as well, and you wouldn`t violate the attorney-client privilege...

GRACE: I would want to find the little girl alive, Mr. Baez!

BAEZ: I`m a little confused as to why you would ask that question.

GRACE: Because I want to find Caylee alive.

BAEZ: If she knows where...

GRACE: And obviously, you and your client do not.

BAEZ: She does not know where Caylee is and...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is not the news you wanted though, Cindy.

ANTHONY: Well, of course not. Of course not. This is ridiculous. I didn`t want anybody to think that my daughter did anything to harm her child because she hasn`t.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) in the car (INAUDIBLE)

ANTHONY: I already documented that. You guys look back in the (INAUDIBLE) what I told you about the car and the smell and why it stunk so bad.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They`re saying about in the trunk of the car.

ANTHONY: There was a bag of pizza for, what, 12 days in the back of the car, full of maggots, and it stunk so bad. You know how hot it`s been. That smell was terrible.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Cindy, but these dogs are trained to find dead bodies, Cindy.

ANTHONY: The same dogs that cleared our house cleared (INAUDIBLE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: But they`re not saying the house is cleared.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: The case becoming more and more bizarre, but at the heart of it is this 2-year-old little girl, Caylee Anthony. With us tonight, her mother`s lawyer. Jose Baez, the attorney for Casey Anthony, is with us.

And we are taking your calls. Out to the lines. Sharon in Alabama. Hi, Sharon.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. Thank you for taking my call.

GRACE: Yes, ma`am.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I would like to know if the police have checked the local hospitals to see if Caylee has ever been brought into the ER for any reason.

GRACE: To Rory O`Neill with Metro Networks. What do we know? I specifically asked a question the other night regarding whether DFACS, department of family and children`s services, had ever been called in and was told point-blank no, no reports from DFACS. But what about local hospitals? Have they been checked, Rory?

O`NEILL: I haven`t seen anything particular. I would assume that`s part of the standard procedure, but no specific reports of them investigating hospitals.

GRACE: Mike Brooks, what about it?

MIKE BROOKS, FORMER D.C. POLICE, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: ... be part of the initial investigation, Nancy, absolutely, especially on a missing person`s case like this, to make sure no one`s been to the hospital with any kind of injuries.

GRACE: Back to Jose Baez, the attorney for Casey Anthony. Sir, you keep telling me over and over that your client, the mother, does not know where Caylee is.

BAEZ: Correct.

GRACE: Where did she leave her?

BAEZ: With the baby-sitter. And we believe...

GRACE: What baby-sitter?

BAEZ: ... she`s been kidnapped. Zenaida Fernandez (ph) Gonzalez.

GRACE: Where?

BAEZ: She gave me a specific location. I`ve -- all I have is an address. But I want to verify...

GRACE: What`s the address?

BAEZ: I certainly don`t have it with me, if that`s what you`re looking to get.

GRACE: You don`t want me to know it because it`s the same place the cops went and checked out and she didn`t live there. It was vacant.

BAEZ: No, that`s not the case.

GRACE: Then what is it?

BAEZ: Well, you know, if you had told me you were going to ask me this question, I would have certainly had it with me and...

GRACE: I would assume you would know the facts like the back of your hand.

BAEZ: Well, you know, that`s why -- I`m human. I write with a pen and paper. And that`s -- hello?

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANTHONY: America can think what they want, as long as they continue to look for my granddaughter. You know, I don`t care what America thinks of me. If they think that I`m a (DELETED) because I`m standing up to the media that want to attack me, OK, if they want to take the focus on this face, if they want to do that, they can live with themselves, OK? I don`t care what they think about me. As long as this picture gets out and people like this lady, who keeps trying to get through to the authorities that swears to God she saw my granddaughter alive.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: The tip line in this case, 800-423-TIPS, 423-8477.

Straight back out to Jose Baez, the attorney for the girl`s mom, Casey Anthony. Your client, according to you, says she dropped her child off on June 9. But that`s not true. The grandmother saw them together on June 15.

BAEZ: Yes. Absolutely. Apparently, they were mistaken on those dates. Everyone seemed to be mistaken on those dates. And we certainly were able to confirm that the time has been shorter than that.

GRACE: Well, don`t you think your client should know the last time she was with her own daughter?

BAEZ: Well, everyone who -- since this was so long ago, it was just simply a confusion...

GRACE: It was last month!

BAEZ: ... of dates.

GRACE: It was last month!

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Prosecutors say the case of a missing 2-year- old Florida girl is beginning to look like a homicide.

Caylee Anthony was last seen more than a month ago but was reported missing just last week. Her mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, is considered a person of interest in the case.

Now investigators searched her car. And at a hearing yesterday a detective testified that her car smelled of death.

Investigators say they found a stain, dirt and what seems to be Caylee`s hair in the car`s trunk.

Caylee`s mother is currently charged with child neglect and obstruction. Her bond is set at half a million dollars.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: With us tonight is the attorney for Caylee`s mother, Casey Anthony. Jose Baez is joining us out of Orlando, Florida.

So, Mr. Baez, you are telling me point blank your client nor you have asked for immunity for her?

JOSE BAEZ, ATTORNEY FOR MISSING TOT`S MOTHER CASEY ANTHONY: Absolutely not.

GRACE: Under any circumstance?

BAEZ: Under any circumstance.

GRACE: And you claim the fact you have not met with her and investigators is simply a failure in communication?

BAEZ: No. I don`t think that they`re -- for some reason, you know, there`s a lot going back and forth, and -- but I`ve reached out to them. I`ve expressed it, I put it in writing, and.

GRACE: Well, actually, sir.

BAEZ: . they have yet to respond.

GRACE: Our control room has them on the phone right now.

BAEZ: Perfect.

GRACE: And they`re happy to arrange a meeting between you, your client and police. When would you like to do it?

BAEZ: Well, I -- where are they? Put them on the phone. Let`s talk.

GRACE: Give me a date and a time.

BAEZ: Well, I`ll meet them at the jail right now. If they have.

GRACE: Well.

BAEZ: If they have any credible belief.

GRACE: Can you wait for about 10 minutes.

BAEZ: Hold on a second, hold on.

GRACE: . until we get to commercial break.

BAEZ: Again, I didn`t hear you because I was talking. If they have any credible leads that they want to bounce me -- they want me to bounce off of my client, they can meet me at the jail in about half an hour. And I`d be more hand happy to go inside, talk to my client and find out exactly what the answer is to any of those leads that will help find Caylee.

GRACE: So will you sit down with you, your client and police, and go through the evidence?

BAEZ: If there`s any leads they want me to go over. Now I`m not -- I`m not going to be there to prosecute my client or to assist them in prosecuting my client. I will be there to.

GRACE: How about assisting in finding Caylee?

BAEZ: I will be there to ensure that my client`s rights are protected. But I`m there to help find Caylee. That`s the only reason I`d be willing to meet with law enforcement.

GRACE: Because, it`s 8:32.

BAEZ: Not for anything other than trying to Caylee.

GRACE: It`s 8:32.40 and that`s the first time tonight, sir, that you have stated you`re here to help find Caylee.

BAEZ: Well, I -- no, no, apparently on your show, because I`ve been saying it all along. I -- you might be able to (INAUDIBLE) in the times on that one.

GRACE: Good to know. Good to know.

Out to the lines, to Martha in Tennessee. Hi, Martha?

MARTHA, TENNESSEE RESIDENT: Hi, Nancy this is Martha Dugger(ph).

GRACE: Hello. Nice to talk to you. What`s your question, dear?

MARTHA: First of all, I want to say thank you for all you do for victims and God bless you.

I`d like to know, could it be possible that she had Caylee buried in the backyard and then dug her up and put her in the back of the car?

GRACE: Interesting theory, Martha Dugger, joining us out of Tennessee.

To Mike Brooks, police now have a theory that the -- because the cadaver dogs hit in the southeast corner of the backyard -- of the grandmother and the mother`s back yard.

MIKE BROOKS, FMR. DC POLICE DETECTIVE SERVED ON FBI TERRORISM TASK FORCE: Right.

GRACE: It also hit in the trunk of the mother`s car over the right taillight.

BROOKS: Right.

GRACE: Their theory is -- explain.

BROOKS: There`s a very good possibility that could be true, Nancy, because, number one, in the trunk of that car, you had a stain. They used an alternate light source and they`re doing additional testing. But that stain came up positive. They use an ultra light source.

They also had hair from Caylee. They also had dirt. Now they can take a comparison of the dirt that was in the trunk and the dirt from that back yard, do a soil comparison to see if, possibly, there was transference from that scene in the backyard into the car.

And they`re also not saying, Nancy, what other evidence they found there at the scene. They could have found more hair, more DNA and other evidence there at the scene of the house.

GRACE: To Dr. Michael Arnall, board certified forensic pathologist, he is joining us from Denver tonight.

Dr. Arnall, thank you for being with us. Very quickly, if a body was decomposing in the trunk of Casey Anthony`s car, is it possible to find human cells from the decomposition fluids?

DR. MICHAEL ARNALL, BOARD CERTIFIED FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: Yes, sure it is. Sure it is.

GRACE: Explain. How would it work?

ARNALL: If the body was placed in the trunk immediately after death, it might take a couple of days to decompose in that type of heat. During that time period, the cells that begin to slip off the body could be deposited on the carpet.

If the body had been buried in the backyard and was in the process of decomposition before it was placed in the trunk, then when it was placed in the trunk, the -- there`s a process of skin slippage and.

GRACE: Right.

ARNALL: . and softening of the tissue, that`s going to deposit on the carpet in a relatively short period of time, perhaps minutes. So there`s going to be cells and fluid from that body on the carpet.

GRACE: Dr. Arnall, yes, no -- from those fluids, from DNA, can scientists determine whether the body is dead or alive?

ARNALL: No, I don`t think they can determine.

GRACE: OK.

ARNALL: Well, in the sense, they can`t determine whether it was dead or alive when it`s placed there. But it`s obvious, if the body is decomposed, it`s dead.

GRACE: Correct. Correct.

Let`s unleash the lawyers. Joining us in addition to Jose Baez, the attorney for Casey Anthony, is Susan Moss out of New York, Randy Zelin, New York, Daniel Horowitz out of San Francisco.

Susan Moss, weigh in.

SUSAN MOSS, CHILD ADVOCATE, FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY: If your child is missing, there isn`t anyone you wouldn`t tell your full story to again and again and again.

Her silence is deafening. This is all a bunch of hooey. And I think we`re going to find that out in the end.

GRACE: Randy Zelin?

RANDY ZELIN, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: As a parent I agree with Susan. As a lawyer I couldn`t disagree more. Your obligation is to your client. Your obligation, as Jose said, is to protect the best interest of your client. You don`t help the prosecution prosecute your client.

GRACE: To Daniel Horowitz - Daniel, you and I have both been victims of violent crime. (INAUDIBLE). Weigh in.

DANIEL HOROWITZ, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Nancy, it seems like this case has (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Baez`s client about (INAUDIBLE).

BAEZ: . told the police, she would have told me. She is most interested in getting her daughter found. And that`s something that we`re trying and we`re focusing on right now.

GRACE: Everyone, we are switching gears -- Mr. Baez, thank you very much for being with us.

July 24, 2008
The grandfather of Caylee Marie Anthony asked hundreds of thousands of people Wednesday to help find the missing child, using an automatic telephone system that dialed homes in five Central Florida counties.

"Please help my family and me bring her home for her third birthday," George Anthony said in the recording played in Orange, Seminole, Lake, Osceola and Volusia counties.

The message, coupled with a reward that has been increased to $225,000, is the latest effort to find Caylee, who turns 3 next month. The Orange County girl has been missing since June but was reported missing last week.

Tips from the calls will be relayed to sheriff's investigators.

William Rivera, founder of Never Lose Hope Foundation of Orlando, said he got the idea for the automated plea through his telemarketing firm. More calls are planned for today.

Meanwhile, Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, spent her eighth day in jail Wednesday on child-neglect and other charges related to the disappearance. Her family apparently was unable to post the woman's $500,000 bail.

Christina Baez, speaking on behalf of her father, defense attorney Jose Baez, said the Anthonys want to bond their 22-year-old daughter out of jail as soon as possible, but the bail amount is "outrageous."

Anthony was arrested July 16 after allegedly telling investigators a series of lies about her daughter's disappearance. A sheriff's investigator said in court Tuesday that based on a smell and other evidence in Anthony's car, it's possible Caylee is dead and her mother is involved.

The Sheriff's Office has received hundreds of tips in the case, including a reported sighting of Caylee at Orlando International Airport, said Deputy Carlos Padilla, a sheriff's spokesman. Baez said the Anthony family received a tip from a woman who claimed she met a girl who identified herself as Caylee at the airport on July 2.

Message broadcasted to help find toddler

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The voice of George Anthony, the grandfather of missing 2-year-old Caylee, was heard all over Wednesday in a pre-recorded message set up by The Never Lose Hope Foundation.


In the message, George asks for the public’s help finding the little girl who was last seen June 16. The message also says there is a $225,000 reward for information resulting in Caylee’s safe return by her third birthday.

The reward was increased by an extra $100,000 on Wednesday through a donation by local businessman, Peter Benevides.

Caylee’s mother, 22-year-old Casey, remains in the Orange County Jail Thursday. Her parents are still trying to come up with 10 percent of the $500,000 bond required for her release.

In addition, Casey will be required to surrender her passport if she has one and will be fitted with a GPS programming device.

The device is the exact same device that Lisa Nowak, the NASA astronaut who attempted to kidnap her rival, was required to wear. The GPS band is handled by a private company called Court Program Inc. A representative from the company said the band has been prepared for Casey; they are just waiting for her bond to be paid.

Orange County detectives say that Casey remains the only person of interest in the case so far. Detectives continue to talk with several Zenaida Gonzalez’s in the area to see if she exists.

Casey told police that Zenaida, or “Zanny” babysat Caylee for at least one year. So far however, police say none of the women they have talked to were indeed Caylee’s babysitter.

http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7048541&version=1&locale=EN-US

Casey is also being held in jail on two other disclosed holds. Police say these are considered to be “internal holds,” and by law their information is not released to the public.

Detectives spoke with the woman who says she saw Caylee at the Orlando Airport in early July. She told police she saw the little girl with a woman in her 30's or 40's who boarded a flight to Atlanta.

Investigators said they only knew about the tip after Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, spoke about it on FOX News. Casey's mother, Cindy, says she cannot always check all the messages they receive right away.

This worries investigators, who say that in missing child cases, seconds count.

If you have any information that could help police in their investigation to find Caylee, call the CRIMELINE AT 1-800-423 TIPS (8477). There are operators standing 24 hours each day to take calls.

Attorney For Missing Girl's Mom Grilled; Family Negotiating Jail Release
Family Planning Billboards In Florida

POSTED: 6:32 am EDT July 24, 2008
UPDATED: 9:12 am EDT July 24, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The family of a missing 2-year-old Orlando girl is believed to be working with a bail bondsman Thursday to free the child's mother as a national search for the child continues.

IMAGES: Missing Girl, Mother Images

Sources said the bail for Casey Anthony, 22, could be paid as early as Thursday.



Anthony did not report her daughter, Caylee, missing for five weeks, detectives said, and the 22-year-old has been called a person of interest in the child's disappearance.

A judge set a $500,000 bond for Anthony earlier this week but changed the conditions of her bond release order Wednesday.

She's now been ordered to home confinement with an electronic monitoring device and no GPS bracelet.

A bondsman said the change in conditions raises the risk, but also gives Anthony the freedom to roam.

Attorney Grilled During Interview

Meanwhile, CNN's Nancy Grace grilled Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez and asked why his client did not report her daughter missing and why she lied to police.

"Don't you think your client should know the last time she was with her own daughter?" Grace asked.

"Since it was so long ago…" Baez said.

"It was last month, it was last month," Grace said.

"Where was your client during the four weeks Caylee was missing?" Grace asked.

"Part of that is some of the things that I simply can't discuss because it is protected by attorney-client privilege," Baez said.

"But why?" Grace said. "Why is that a secret if she wants to find her little girl alive."

"You are an attorney as well and you wouldn't want to violate the attorney-client privledge," Baez said.

"I would want to find the little girl alive," Grace said.

"I'm a little confused why you would ask that question," Baez said.

"Because I want to find Caylee alive and obviously you and your client do not," Grace said.

"She does not know where Caylee is," Baez said.

Baez said rumors that Anthony would talk to police in exchange for immunity were not true.

Billboards Planned

Caylee's grandparents, Cindy and George Anthony are trying new ways to bring in tips in the case.

Local 6 reported that the Anthony family will be putting up 14 billboards across the state asking for help in the case.

They've also organized volunteers to call people in Central Florida to spread the word.

Plus, a $225,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the return of a missing Orlando 2-year-old girl.

About $200,000 of the reward is from Skyview Aviation and Exotic Car Rental and the remaining money is from the Never Lose Hope foundation.

Tipster Questioned

Wednesday night, investigators spoke with a woman who believes she recently spoke with Caylee at Orlando International Airport.

The woman said she spotted the girl boarding a flight to Atlanta and even talked with the girl.

Detectives created a composite sketch but said they would not release it until they firmly believe the tip is credible.

Possible Connection Between Car, Yard

Investigators said similar human decomposition smells found in a yard and a car during a search for a missing Orlando girl indicate the source may have been moved.

Last week, cadaver dogs searched the Orange County back yard of Cindy and George Anthony for signs of their missing granddaughter, who was not reported missing for five weeks.

During the search, cadaver dogs found the smell of human decomposition in the yard, Local 6 learned.

The dogs also hit on the same smell in the trunk of the car the Casey Anthony had been driving, police said.

"We had two different dogs from two different counties that hit on the same exact spot," Orange County sheriff's investigator Carlos Padilla said.

The sheriff's office believes it is possible that whatever produced the decomposition smell could have been in the back yard and then moved to the car, Bolden reported.

"Could it have been a body or could it have been clothes?" Padilla asked. "Again, that is something that has to be investigated."

The investigation includes processing other items found in Anthony's car.

"Because they found hair samples in the trunk of the car that are similar in color and length to that of Caylee and they also found a stain in the trunk that came up under black light that is questionable," Orange County Detective Yuri Melich said. "They also found some dirt inside the car that needs to be processed."

Detectives said they don't have enough evidence to file additional charges against Anthony but it could become a potential homicide investigation.

"Is it something that could later on bring more charges?" Padilla said. "That is a possibility. But right now, we have to process that evidence."

Officers said they still have not ruled out the possibility that Caylee could still be alive.

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Caylee is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Anthony family Thursday would neither confirm nor deny a tip that Eyewitness News received saying a new concrete slab was poured in their backyard over the July 4th weekend. That would be just days before the family called deputies about the missing girl, and nearly a month after her mother says she last saw the girl.

my caylee is missing
Current mood: http://x.myspace.com/images/blog/moods/iBrads/sad.gif distraught

She came into my life unexspectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don't know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankfull for all of the love and support given to her. A mother's love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angel?

Series Of Missing Girl Sightings Reported In Georgia; Investigators Urge Caution

Grandfather: Casey Close To Leaving Jail

POSTED: 12:29 pm EDT July 24, 2008
UPDATED: 12:46 pm EDT July 24, 2008

The new tips in the search for Caylee Anthony are focusing around Corneila, Ga., Local 6 has learned.

A woman claims she spotted a girl who looks like Caylee being handed off to someone at a gas station in the city.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A series of new possible sightings of a missing 2-year-old Orlando girl surfaced in Georgia Thursday in a case drawing national attention.

IMAGES: Missing Girl, Mother Images

The new tips in the search for Caylee Anthony are focusing around Corneila, Ga., Local 6 has learned.

A woman claims she spotted a girl who looks like Caylee being handed off to someone at a gas station in the city.

And two days ago, another tipster spotted a child resembling Caylee eating at a restaurant within an hour drive of the gas station sighting.

Also, investigators spoke to a woman Wednesday who claims she spoke to Caylee at Orlando International Airport as she boarded a flight for Atlanta earlier this month.

A composite sketch was apparently drawn of a traveling companion the woman said was with the girl but sheriff's deputies said they would not release the composite unless the tip was deemed credible.

Deputies also urged caution with the latest possible sightings because they said with increased national attention, there will be a number of false leads.

Local 6 has learned that detectives have checked at least one of the new possible sightings. A worker at a restaurant where the girl may have been seen said an officer visited and asked questions about Caylee's whereabouts.

The child's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she was encouraged by the new sightings.

"I'm real close to getting in the car and going there myself," Anthony said. "That is why I've been more emotional today than ever because I feel so close to finding her. And I feel if I could just drive there and talk to people, that we are going to find her very shortly."

The FBI is assisting in the investigation and with tips from outside of the state, Local 6 reported.

Grandfather: Casey Close To Leaving Jail

Meanwhile, Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, 22, could be close to leaving jail.

"This thing about the bond, we are close," Caylee's grandfather George Anthony said. "I was just talking to someone before you talked with me, we are close."

A judge set a $500,000 bond for Anthony but changed the release order Wednesday.

She's been ordered to home confinement with an electronic monitoring device but no longer a GPS bracelet.

$225,000 Reward Offered

Meanwhile, a $225,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the return of a missing Orlando 2-year-old girl.

About $200,000 of the reward is from Skyview Aviation and Exotic Car Rental and the remaining money is from the Never Lose Hope foundation.

Lawyer For Arrested Mom Makes Accusations Against Sheriff's Office

POSTED: 7:20 am EDT July 24, 2008
UPDATED: 8:32 am EDT July 24, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Fireworks were flying in the case of missing two-year-old Caylee Anthony. Her mother's attorney, Jose Baez, made startling accusations against the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Baez said his client, Casey Anthony, is keeping her head up, but was bothered by the high bond that her family would have to come up with to get her out of jail where she has been held for a full week.

Detectives said Casey and her attorney are slowing their investigation.

"The confusion comes from everyone's misunderstanding about attorney-client privilege and about what I'm willing to do," said Baez.

In his strongest words yet about investigators searching for Caylee, Baez said he simply wouldn't allow a free-form grilling of his client by detectives. The statement was made after a television appearance Wednesday night in which the host said investigators had called in and tried to set up a meeting with Baez.

"I will be the go-between and I will help them in anything they need. If they want to sit there and interrogate her, that's just not going to happen," said Baez.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office has repeatedly said Casey Anthony holds the key to the case and she has not been as cooperative as they would like.

The family said clues have been pouring into a phone-in tip center, including one from a woman who thought she saw Caylee recently at Orlando International Airport getting on flight going to Atlanta with middle-aged woman earlier this month.

"They're working on what she saw and when she saw it and everything. I know they're going to do what's right by Caylee by following this," said Cynthia Anthony, Caylee's grandmother.

Investigators were working to develop a sketch to release and said they are investigating the lead. Other leads they've received, including some from out of state, have not turned up anything.

Investigators Sift Through Tips In Caylee Seach

Automated Messages Sent To 5 Central Fla. Counties

ORLANDO, Fla. -- As the search for Caylee Anthony entered its second week, investigators continue to wade through several tips.

The child's grandmother said on Thursday that she believes whoever has Caylee may have dyed the toddler's hair blond.

Cindy Anthony and her husband, George Anthony, have maintained throughout the investigation that their focus is only on finding Caylee -- not the arrest of their daughter, Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony.

George Anthony made another plea to Central Floridians on Thursday.

"Please help my family bring her home for her third birthday," he said.

Automated messages have been sent to homes in five Central Florida counties. The phone call along with a reward that's increased to $225,000 are the latest efforts to find Caylee. Tips from the calls will be relayed to sheriff's investigators.

Meanwhile, an attorney for the family said two people have reported seeing Caylee in the last month. One tipster said the toddler was seen at Orlando International Airport heading to an Atlanta-bound flight with a blond-haired woman in her 40s.

"The investigators did meet with her and were able to come up with a sketch together. We're anxious to get a copy and look at that. Hopefully, police take it seriously," attorney Jose Baez said.

Another sighting was reported in Atlanta.

If the initial sighting is legit, investigators said they are confident that at least some of it would have been captured by the many airport surveillance cameras stationed in airside terminals.

They hoped the tipster would be able to provide specific information on the time and place she thought she saw Caylee. Last year, police said one such camera caught astronaut Lisa Nowak wearing a disguise waiting to confront a romantic rival. Investigators also said that they will not release a composite sketch of a woman the tipster thought she saw with Caylee until they are convinced the information is credible.

Investigators said the case would be better served to continue to show Caylee, rather than a composite based on what could still end up being a false sighting. They did, however, confirm that officers went to the Cottage House restaurant in Cleveland, GA on Wednesday to question employees about the reported Caylee sighting. The officers said no one recognized the toddler when they saw the pictures.

A separate tip was discounted by authorities Thursday. Other media outlets reported Thursday that a new concrete slab has been poured in the Anthonys' back yard. Investigators searched the Anthonys' back yard last week and said it has been cleared with no plans to revisit it at this time.

Authorities arrested and charged Casey Anthony, with child neglect on July 17 for failing to report the disappearance, and a search for the toddler has been continuing ever since.

Anthony was jailed on a $500,000 bond, and if her family is able to raise the funds needed for release, she'll be placed on home confinement and wear an ankle monitor.

"We continue to ask the public to call us if they see anything, but at the same time, we want to be careful they don't start diluting the possibility of finding this child by some of these claims coming in," Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesman Carlos Padilla said.

Anthony said she left Caylee with a baby sitter, and that woman is in her 20s. Baez said the baby sitter may have handed off Caylee to someone else.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Reported Caylee Sightings Give Family Hope

The grandmother of the missing toddler said these tips are what are keeping her going.

"I'm real close to getting in the car and going there myself," Cindy Anthony said. "That's why I've been more emotional today than ever -- because I feel so close to finding her."

She said she is fighting the urge to drive to Georgia because that is where the most recent tips say Caylee is.

The first reported Caylee sighting since her family last saw her on June 15 is July 2 at Orlando International Airport. A family flying to Atlanta said they saw Caylee.

"Her [the tipster] and her family sat with Caylee for 10 to 15 minutes. It's not walking by someone or looking from afar," Cindy Anthony said.

She also said the woman told her that the girl they saw was wearing a baseball cap and holding a naked baby doll -- two things she said are characteristic of Caylee.

Another person claimed to see Caylee on July 19 at a gas station in Sandy Springs, GA.

"She said it was very apparent that the people were meeting up as a drop point. It was clearly a pick up point," Cindy Anthony said.

July 22 near Cornelia, GA is the location of the final alleged Caylee sighting. Cindy Anthony said the family sat across from Caylee, who was with two people.

"The person that saw her in the restaurant described how she eats to me. I have seen that child eat since the say she was born. I have released how Caylee eats to any media," Cindy Anthony said.

Caylee Marie Anthony's mother remains jailed
Jul 24, 2008 11:02 -0400

The mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony is still in jail, but if her family posts the $500,000-plus bail, she will not be allowed outside their home.

The mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony is still in jail this morning, but if her family posts the $500,000-plus bail, she will not be allowed outside their home.

That change in Casey Anthony's supervision came Wednesday, after Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland modified his order to home confinement - a stricter level of surveillance.

Strickland originally ordered on Tuesday that the child's mother be placed on a GPS monitoring device, which would allow her more freedom, but still provide her exact location. The modified ruling does not include any allowances, such as attorney visits or medical appointments.

The corrections officer assigned to the home confinement unit can allow Anthony attorney visits and medical appointments, but they must be pre-approved, Orange County Jail spokesman Allen Moore said.


Meanwhile, the grandfather of Caylee Marie Anthony has asked hundreds of thousands of people to help find the missing child, using an automatic telephone system that dialed homes in five Central Florida counties.

"Please help my family and me bring her home for her third birthday," George Anthony said in the recording played in Orange, Seminole, Lake, Osceola and Volusia counties.

The message, coupled with a reward that has been increased to $225,000, is the latest effort to find Caylee, who turns 3 next month. The Orange County girl has been missing since June but was reported missing last week.

Tips from the calls will be relayed to sheriff's investigators.

William Rivera, founder of Never Lose Hope Foundation of Orlando, said he got the idea for the automated plea through his telemarketing firm. More calls are planned for today.

Meanwhile, Anthony had spent her eighth day in jail Wednesday on child-neglect and other charges related to the disappearance.

Christina Baez, speaking on behalf of her father, defense attorney Jose Baez, said the Anthonys want to bond their 22-year-old daughter out of jail as soon as possible, but the bail amount is "outrageous."

Anthony was arrested July 16 after allegedly telling investigators a series of lies about her daughter's disappearance. A sheriff's investigator said in court Tuesday that based on a smell and other evidence in Anthony's car, it's possible Caylee is dead and her mother is involved.

The Sheriff's Office has received hundreds of tips in the case, including a reported sighting of Caylee at Orlando International Airport, said Deputy Carlos Padilla, a sheriff's spokesman. Baez said the Anthony family received a tip from a woman who claimed she met a girl who identified herself as Caylee at the airport on July 2.

Casey Anthony's Friends Reveal New Details To Channel 9
UPDATED: 5:03 pm EDT July 24, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Friends of arrested mother Casey Anthony revealed to Channel 9 what she was really doing since her daughter's disappearance. Casey Anthony's friends are still freaking out over how she acted as though she hadn't a care in the world during the time she now says she had no idea where her daughter Caylee was.

Friends told Eyewitness News Casey celebrated Independence Day with her boyfriend Tony Lazarro. She partied and cooked dinner for him and his roommate.

Friends said Lazzaro believed she worked as an event planner at Universal Studios for the two months they were together. She told him her boss allowed her to work from her computer at his Winter Park apartment. They found out later from her family she wasn't earning the money she was spending. Instead, Casey was running up her mother's credit cards.

When Casey called Lazarro for a ride from the Amscot where she abandoned her car, she claimed it had broken down and that her father was going to get it to a shop later. That car holds some of the most significant evidence investigators have revealed, possible evidence of Caylee's hair, a suspicious stain and the odor of human decomposition, all in the trunk.

While Casey was in court on Tuesday trying to get out of jail on bond, detectives were at her boyfriend's apartment complex going door-to-door asking residents whether they've seen Casey and Caylee there. An employee at Sutton Place Apartments remembered, sadly, how she'd seen them at a swimming pool in early June with Lazarro. Caylee was playing with dishes in the pool, yelling happily, "Look at me, look at me."

ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony’s attorney said the family can not make the $500 thousand bond needed to get the 22-year-old mother out of jail.

On Thursday evening, Jose Baez said he will file an appeal to the bond amount.

Baez said Anthony does not pose a flight risk.

Family Takes Matters Into Own Hands

The divide between the attorney for the mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony and Orange County Sheriff's detectives continues to widen as the family takes matters into their own hands to find the little girl.

As of noon Thursday, Casey Anthony was still behind bars waiting for her family to raise the $50,000 and $500,000 security needed for her bond. She is also not talking to authorities.

The sheriff's office is conducting a criminal investigation, while the family of Casey and Caylee have launched a new effort in finding the 2-year-old with a call center.

Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, has hired a private detective, but Baez has not returned any of News 13's phone calls.

There are three holds against Casey Anthony that must be satisfied before she can be released. Two of those holds have not been released, but one is believed to be a requirement she give up her passport. The third is the requirement she be held on house confinement under electronic monitoring.

Family Establishes Call Center

The phone lines are open at a new call center to find the missing toddler.
More than 15 people are manning the phones for a possible lead in the case. The call center was set up by the family to call everyone they can.
People who get a call will hear a pre-recorded message from Caylee's grandfather George Anthony, and then anyone with information, can then be directly connected with the call center staff.

The number for the family's call center is (888) 848-8752. Sheriff's deputies continue to ask anyone with information to call CrimeLine at (800) 423-TIPS.

Meanwhile, the family has set up a trust fund for the girl to try and raise money to help with the search. They said the money will only go toward finding Caylee, not for any possible bond for Casey Anthony. Donations can be made at any SunTrust Bank.

Nancy Grace Vs. Jose Baez

Casey Anthony's attorney tried to speak in defense of his client on national television Wednesday night.

Jose Baez faced some tough questions from CNN's Nancy Grace about why his client has not been more forthcoming with information.

Grace: "Why didn't your client report her missing immediately?"
Baez: "Well, her reasons and explanations for those are confidential and I can't reveal them at this time."

Grace: "You know that doesn't make any sense."

Baez: "Well, you know, I'm sorry it doesn't make any sense to you, but you don't know what our defense may be."

Grace: "Your defense to what?"

Baez: "Any charges that may arise where she is prosecuted. I have to protect my client and it's something I must do and took an oath to do."

Grace: "You're hiding behind the attorney client privilege."

Baez: "I'm not hiding behind anything."

Grace: "You are."
At one point, Grace said she had sheriff's deputies on the phone to try and arrange a meeting with Baez, but they were never put on the line.

Caylee Sighting At Airport?

Investigators are following a lead that Caylee may have been sighted boarding a flight at Orlando International Airport.

Cindy Anthony said she got a call from a woman on Tuesday who said she saw a girl who looked like Caylee at the airport. The woman said she asked the girl what her name was and that the girl replied "Caylee Marie Anthony," pronouncing her last name without the "h" like Caylee did.

The caller said she was 99 percent sure the girl was Caylee, but investigators have yet to say if there is any validity to that claim.

Cindy Anthony said that the woman who provided the tip was supposed to be meeting with detectives to help create a composite sketch of the woman who was with the girl at the airport.

Missing-Girl 911 Calls Ask For Arrest Of Mom For Stealing Car, Money

The sheriff's office releases 911 calls in the case of a missing Orlando girl as a nationwide search continues.

OSTED: 5:37 pm EDT July 24, 2008
UPDATED: 6:59 pm EDT July 24, 2008

Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of missing Caylee Anthony, 2, called 911 last week to report the girl missing.


The first call featured Cindy Anthony saying she wants her daughter, Casey Anthony, 22, arrested for stealing items.

"I have someone here who I need to be arrested in my home," Cindy Anthony is heard telling a 911 operator.

"They are there right now?" the 911 operator said.

"And I have a possible missing child," Cindy Anthony then said. "I have a 3-year-old who has been missing for a month."

"A 3-year-old?" the 911 operator said. "Have you reported that?"

"I'm trying to do that now," Cindy Anthony said.

"OK, what did the person do that you need arrested?" the operator asked.

"My daughter," Cindy Anthony said.

"For what?" the 911 operator said.

"For stealing an auto and stealing money," Cindy Anthony said. "I already spoke to someone who said they would patch me through to the Orlando Sheriff's Department and have a deputy here. I was in the car and I was going to drive her to the police station, and no one is open. They said they would bring a deputy to my home when I got home to call them."

"So, she stole your vehicle?" the 911 operator said.

"Yes," Cindy Anthony said.

"When did she do that?" the 911 operator said.

"On the (June) 30," Anthony said. "I just got it back from the impound. I'd like to speak to an officer. Can you have someone come out to my house?"

Local 6 reported a second call was also made featuring Anthony explaining that her daughter cannot be located.

After officers investigated the calls, it was determined that Caylee had been missing for five weeks and officers took Casey Anthony into custody.

Anthony's Attorney Appealing Bond

The release of the calls came while Casey Anthony's attorney released a statement saying he is appealing the $500,000 bond.

Earlier, the family was encouraged that Casey Anthony would soon be leaving jail.

"This thing about the bond; we are close," George Anthony said Thursday. "I was just talking to someone before you talked with me; we are close."

A judge set a $500,000 bond for Casey Anthony but changed the release order Wednesday.

She's been ordered to home confinement with an electronic monitoring device but no longer a GPS bracelet.

'I Know Who Has Her,' Mom Tells 911 Operator In Missing Girl Case


Dead-Body Smell In Car Described By Grandmother During Call

POSTED: 5:37 pm EDT July 24, 2008
UPDATED: 7:53 pm EDT July 24, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The mother of a missing Orlando girl told a 911 operator that she knows who has her child and that she has been searching for her "through other resources" during newly released calls that initially notified deputies of the 2-year-old's disappearance.

911 CALLS: Cindy Anthony Talks | Girl's Mom Talks
IMAGES: New Caylee Photos | Tip Map

Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of missing Caylee Anthony, 2, called 911 last week to report the girl missing.

During the 911 calls, Cindy Anthony cries while telling the operator that something is wrong and that her daughter's car "smells like there's been a dead body" inside.

The first call featured Cindy Anthony saying she wants her daughter, Casey Anthony, 22, arrested for stealing a car and money.

"I have someone here who I need to be arrested in my home," Cindy Anthony is heard telling a 911 operator.

"They are there right now?" the 911 operator said.

"And I have a possible missing child," Cindy Anthony then said. "I have a 3-year-old who has been missing for a month."

"A 3-year-old?" the 911 operator said. "Have you reported that?"

"I'm trying to do that now," Cindy Anthony said.

"OK, what did the person do that you need arrested?" the operator asked.

"My daughter," Cindy Anthony said.

"For what?" the 911 operator said.

"For stealing an auto and stealing money," Cindy Anthony said. "I already spoke to someone who said they would patch me through to the Orlando Sheriff's Department and have a deputy here. I was in the car and I was going to drive her to the police station, and no one is open. They said they would bring a deputy to my home when I got home to call them."

"So, she stole your vehicle?" the 911 operator said.

"Yes," Cindy Anthony said.

"When did she do that?" the 911 operator said.

"On the (June) 30," Anthony said. "I just got it back from the impound. I'd like to speak to an officer. Can you have someone come out to my house?"

Another call featured the first words heard from the mother of the missing girl. She said she knows who has her daughter.

Casey Anthony's mother began the call:

"I called a little bit ago to the deputy sheriff's and I've found out that my granddaughter has been taken -- she has been missing for a month," Cindy Anthony told a 911 operator. "Her mother had finally admitted that she had been missing."

"What is the address you are calling from," the 911 operator said.

"We are talking about a 3-year-old little girl," Cindy Anthony said while crying. "My daughter finally admitted that the baby sitter stole her. I need to find her."

"Your daughter admitted that the baby is where?" the 911 operator asked.

"She said she took her a month ago and my daughter has been looking for her," Cindy Anthony said. "I told you my daughter has been missing for a month and I just found her today. But I can't find my granddaughter. She just admitted to me that she's been trying to find her by herself. There is something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

"OK, what is the 3-year-old's name?" the 911 operator said.

"Caylee, C-A-Y-L-E-E, Anthony," Cindy Anthony said.

"How long has she been missing for?" the 911 operator asked.

"I have not seen her since June 7," Cindy Anthony said.

Anthony's speech is then inaudible.

"Can you calm down for me for just a minute," the 911 operator said. "I need to know what is going on. Is your daughter there? Can I speak with her? Do you mind if I speak with her?"

"Hello," Casey Anthony said.

"Hi," the 911 operator said. "Can you tell me what's going on a little bit?"

"My daughter has been missing for the last 31days," Casey Anthony said.

"And, you know who has her?" the 911 operator said.

"I know who has her," Casey Anthony said. "I tried to contact her and I actually received a phone call today from a number that is no longer in service. I did get to speak to my daughter for about a minute."

"Did you guys report a vehicle stolen?" the 911 operator said.

"Yes, my mom did," Casey Anthony said.

"OK, so there has been a vehicle stolen too?" the 911 operator said.

"No," Casey Anthony said. "This is my vehicle."

"What vehicle was stolen?" the 911 operator asked.

"It's a 1998 Pontiac," Casey Anthony said.

"We have deputies on the way to your for that but know your 3-year-old is missing -- Caylee Anthony," the 911 operator said.

"Yes," Casey Anthony said.

"You lost her a month ago?" the 911 operator said.

"Thirty-one days (ago)," Casey Anthony said.

"Who has her?" the 911 operator asked. "Do you have a name?"

"Her name is Zenida Fernandez Gonzalez," Casey Anthony said.

"Who is that, the baby sitter?" the 911 operator asked.

"She's been my nanny for about a year and a half or two years," Casey Anthony said.

"Why are you calling now? Why didn't you call 31 days ago?" the 911 operator asked.

"I've been looking for her and have gone through other resources to try to find her -- which is stupid," Anthony said.

Casey Anthony then spells out Gonzalez's name for the operator then says the officers have arrived at the house.

After officers investigated the calls, it was determined that Caylee had been missing for five weeks and officers took Casey Anthony into custody.

Anthony's Attorney Appealing Bond

The release of the calls came while Casey Anthony's attorney released a statement saying he is appealing the $500,000 bond.

Earlier, the family was encouraged that Casey Anthony would soon be leaving jail.

"This thing about the bond; we are close," George Anthony said Thursday. "I was just talking to someone before you talked with me; we are close."

A judge set a $500,000 bond for Casey Anthony but changed the release order Wednesday.

She's been ordered to home confinement with an electronic monitoring device but no longer a GPS bracelet.

New Sightings In Georgia

Meanwhile, a series of new possible sightings of a missing 2-year-old Orlando girl surfaced in Georgia.

The new tips focus around Corneila, Ga., Local 6 reported.

A woman claims she spotted a girl who looks like Caylee being handed off to someone at a gas station in the city.

And two days ago, another tipster spotted a child resembling Caylee eating at a restaurant within an hour's drive of the gas station sighting.

Also, investigators spoke to a woman Wednesday who claims she spoke to Caylee at Orlando International Airport as she boarded a flight for Atlanta earlier this month.

A composite sketch was apparently drawn of a traveling companion the woman said was with the girl, but sheriff's deputies said they would not release the composite unless the tip was deemed credible.

Deputies also urged caution with the latest possible sightings because they said with increased national attention, there will be a number of false leads.

Local 6 has learned that detectives have checked at least one of the new possible sightings. A worker at a restaurant where the girl may have been seen said an officer visited and asked questions about Caylee's whereabouts.

The child's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she was encouraged by the new sightings.

"I'm real close to getting in the car and going there myself," Anthony said. "That is why I've been more emotional today than ever because I feel so close to finding her. And I feel if I could just drive there and talk to people, that we are going to find her very shortly."

The FBI is assisting in the investigation and with tips from outside of the state, Local 6 reported.

$225,000 Reward Offered

Also, a $225,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the return of a missing Orlando 2-year-old girl.

About $200,000 of the reward is from Skyview Aviation and Exotic Car Rental and the remaining money is from the Never Lose Hope foundation.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this developing story.

Mom 911 Call: ‘Smells Like There’s Been Damn Body in the Car

Investigators have released recordings from several 911 calls in the case of a missing 2-year-old girl in Orlando

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Investigators have released recordings from several 911 calls in the case of a missing 2-year-old girl.



In one of the calls released Thursday, Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of missing Caylee Anthony, asked police to arrest her daughter, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, for theft. In the call she said that it ‘smells like there’s been a damn body in the car’ . In another call, the grandmother reported that the little girl was missing.

AUDIO: --Listen to the 911 Tape
http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7058950&version=1&locale=EN-US

Officers began investigating the calls last week and determined that Caylee had been missing for five weeks.

Casey Anthony has been charged with child neglect and lying to investigators, but authorities are also investigating her as a possible homicide suspect. She is being held on a $500,000 bond.

Later Thursday however, the attorney representing Casey Anthony, Jose Baez said he had filed an appeal with the Fifth District Court of Appeals to have the bond reduced.

“After exhaustive efforts to put money together,” Baez said. “The Anthony family can not find the money for the bond.”

Baez said that he feels there is a good basis for the appeal.

“The bond is excessive,” he said. “We feel that there are sufficient reasons; the client doesn’t pose a flight risk or could physically harm anyone in the community which is the main reason why the bond would be that big. It’s 500 times the standard amount, very excessive when you take in consideration the defense and their family.”

Baez added that process could take several days.

“Usually it goes pretty quickly,” he said. “They don’t want someone to sit in jail illegally.”

911 Calls Show Inconsistencies In Orlando Missing-Girl Mystery

Call: 'Daughter's Car Smells Like Dead Body'

POSTED: 12:35 am EDT July 25, 2008
UPDATED: 1:17 am EDT July 25, 2008

Read Text Of 911 Calls In Missing Girl Mystery
http://www.local6.com/news/16983743/detail.html


ORLANDO, Fla. -- Newly released 911 calls show inconsistencies in stories surrounding the disappearance of an Orlando girl.

Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of missing Caylee Anthony, 2, called 911 on July 15 to report the girl missing and to have her daughter Casey, 22, arrested.

The sheriff's office released the calls Thursday and what Cindy Anthony said to a 911 operator is very different from what she's been saying over the past few days, Local 6's Jessica D'Onofrio reported.

During one of the calls, Cindy Anthony said her daughter's car smelled like a dead body -- mentioning it three separate times to the 911 dispatcher.

"There is something wrong, I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car," Cindy Anthony said.

However, recently, she has said she was convinced the smell coming from the car was rotten pizza left in the vehicle.

Cindy Anthony also defended her daughter after the release of the calls Thursday, saying Casey could not have harmed Caylee.

"So, you call 911 and say arrest my daughter, my car is stolen, my granddaughter is missing, her car smells like decomposition, your daughter has lied to you and the cops and you think Caylee is in good hands?" Local 6's Mike DeForest asked Anthony.

"I called 911 because I didn't know where Caylee was at -- that is a fact," Cindy Anthony replied. "The car came home smelling terrible but we knew why it was."

Cindy Anthony also apparently contradicted what she told prosecutors at a hearing this week concerning her daughter's whereabouts during the time Caylee was missing.

"I need to find (Caylee)," Cindy Anthony said on a 911 call.

"Your daughter admitted that the baby is where?" the 911 operator said.

"The baby sitter took her a month ago," Anthony said. "I told you my daughter's been missing for a month. I just found her today but I can't find my granddaughter. She just admitted to me that she's been trying to find her herself."

However, during this week's bond hearing, Cindy Anthony said she had been in contact with Casey.

"From June 16 to July 15, did you have any contact with Casey?" a prosecutor asked at the hearing.

"Everyday," Cindy Anthony said. "We called each other. We left voice messages. She'd text me. There was contact everyday."

Prosecutors said that Casey Anthony is also a person of interest in what is beginning to look like a homicide investigation.

911 Calls Released

The first call featured Cindy Anthony saying she wants her daughter arrested for stealing a car and money.

"I have someone here who I need to be arrested in my home," Cindy Anthony is heard telling a 911 operator.

"They are there right now?" the 911 operator said

"And I have a possible missing child," Cindy Anthony then said. "I have a 3-year-old who has been missing for a month."

"A 3-year-old?" the 911 operator said. "Have you reported that?"

"I'm trying to do that now," Cindy Anthony said.

"OK, what did the person do that you need arrested?" the operator asked.

"My daughter," Cindy Anthony said.

"For what?" the 911 operator said.

"For stealing an auto and stealing money," Cindy Anthony said. "I already spoke to someone who said they would patch me through to the Orlando Sheriff's Department and have a deputy here. I was in the car and I was going to drive her to the police station, and no one is open. They said they would bring a deputy to my home when I got home to call them."

"So, she stole your vehicle?" the 911 operator said.

"Yes," Cindy Anthony said.

"When did she do that?" the 911 operator said.

"On the (June) 30," Anthony said. "I just got it back from the impound. I'd like to speak to an officer. Can you have someone come out to my house?"

Another call featured the first words heard from the mother of the missing girl. She said she knows who has her daughter.

Casey Anthony's mother began the call:

"I called a little bit ago to the deputy sheriff's, and I've found out that my granddaughter has been taken -- she has been missing for a month," Cindy Anthony told a 911 operator. "Her mother had finally admitted that she had been missing."

"What is the address you are calling from," the 911 operator said.

"We are talking about a 3-year-old little girl," Cindy Anthony said while crying. "My daughter finally admitted that the babysitter stole her. I need to find her."

"Your daughter admitted that the baby is where?" the 911 operator asked.

"She said she took her a month ago and my daughter has been looking for her," Cindy Anthony said. "I told you my daughter has been missing for a month and I just found her today. But I can't find my granddaughter. She just admitted to me that she's been trying to find her by herself. There is something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

"OK, what is the 3-year-old's name?" the 911 operator said.

"Caylee, C-A-Y-L-E-E, Anthony," Cindy Anthony said.

"How long has she been missing for?" the 911 operator asked.

"I have not seen her since June 7," Cindy Anthony said.

Anthony's speech is then inaudible.

"Can you calm down for me for just a minute," the 911 operator said. "I need to know what is going on. Is your daughter there? Can I speak with her? Do you mind if I speak with her?"

"Hello," Casey Anthony said.

"Hi," the 911 operator said. "Can you tell me what's going on a little bit?"

"My daughter has been missing for the last 31 days," Casey Anthony said.

"And, you know who has her?" the 911 operator said.

"I know who has her," Casey Anthony said. "I tried to contact her and I actually received a phone call today from a number that is no longer in service. I did get to speak to my daughter for about a minute."

"Did you guys report a vehicle stolen?" the 911 operator said.

"Yes, my mom did," Casey Anthony said.

"OK, so there has been a vehicle stolen too?" the 911 operator said.

"No," Casey Anthony said. "This is my vehicle."

"What vehicle was stolen?" the 911 operator asked.

"It's a 1998 Pontiac," Casey Anthony said.

"We have deputies on the way to you for that, but now your 3-year-old is missing -- Caylee Anthony," the 911 operator said.

"Yes," Casey Anthony said.

"You lost her a month ago?" the 911 operator said.

"Thirty-one days (ago)," Casey Anthony said.

"Who has her?" the 911 operator asked. "Do you have a name?"

"Her name is Zenida Fernandez Gonzalez," Casey Anthony said.

"Who is that, the babysitter?" the 911 operator asked.

"She's been my nanny for about a year and a half or two years," Casey Anthony said.

"Why are you calling now? Why didn't you call 31 days ago?" the 911 operator asked.

"I've been looking for her and have gone through other resources to try to find her -- which is stupid," Anthony said.

Casey Anthony then spelled out Gonzalez's name for the operator then said the officers have arrived at the house.

After officers investigated the calls, it was determined that Caylee had been missing for five weeks and officers took Casey Anthony into custody.

Anthony's Attorney Appealing Bond

The release of the calls came while Casey Anthony's attorney released a statement saying he is appealing the $500,000 bond.

Earlier, the family was encouraged that Casey Anthony would soon be leaving jail.

"This thing about the bond; we are close," George Anthony said Thursday. "I was just talking to someone before you talked with me; we are close."

A judge set a $500,000 bond for Casey Anthony but changed the release order Wednesday.

She's been ordered to home confinement with an electronic monitoring device but no longer a GPS bracelet.

New Sightings In Georgia

Meanwhile, a series of new possible sightings of the missing girl surfaced in Georgia.

The new tips focus around Corneila, Ga., Local 6 reported.

A woman claims she spotted a girl who looks like Caylee being handed off to someone at a gas station in the city.

And two days ago, another tipster spotted a child resembling Caylee eating at a restaurant within an hour's drive of the gas station sighting.

Also, investigators spoke to a woman Wednesday who claims she spoke to Caylee at Orlando International Airport as she boarded a flight for Atlanta earlier this month.

A composite sketch was apparently drawn of a traveling companion the woman said was with the girl, but sheriff's deputies said they would not release the composite unless the tip was deemed credible.

Deputies also urged caution with the latest possible sightings because they said with increased national attention, there will be a number of false leads.

Local 6 has learned that detectives have checked at least one of the new possible sightings. A worker at a restaurant where the girl may have been seen said an officer visited and asked questions about Caylee's whereabouts.

The child's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she was encouraged by the new sightings.

"I'm real close to getting in the car and going there myself," Anthony said. "That is why I've been more emotional today than ever because I feel so close to finding her. And I feel if I could just drive there and talk to people, that we are going to find her very shortly."

The FBI is assisting in the investigation and with tips from outside of the state, Local 6 reported.

Focus Centered On Grandmother After 911 Tapes Released

POSTED: 6:42 pm EDT July 24, 2008
UPDATED: 7:23 am EDT July 25, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The web of misinformation and contradictory statements in the case of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony has centered on the child's grandmother after the release of 911 tapes.

Investigators released two 911 calls Thursday that were made by the grandmother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony. She sounds frantic in the calls that were made the night of July 15.

New Details Revealed To Channel 9 By Casey's Friends
http://www.wftv.com/news/16979873/detail.html


On the first call, a crying Cynthia Anthony tells the dispatcher, "I have someone here that needs to be arrested in my home and I have a possibly missing child. I have a 3-year-old that's been missing for a month."

"Have you reported that?" the dispatcher asks Cynthia.

"I'm trying to do that now, ma'am," Cynthia replies.

"What did the person do that you need arrested?" the dispatcher asks.

"My daughter," Cynthia replies. "For stealing an auto and stealing some money."

On the second call Cynthia says, "I found out my granddaughter has been taken, she has been missing. My daughter finally admitted that she's been missing. ... My daughter finally admitted that the babysitter stole her. I need to find her."

"There's something wrong," Cynthia continues to tell the dispatcher in the second call. "I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

The latter comments contradict what she told Eyewitness News after Casey Anthony's bond hearing on Tuesday.

"There was a bag of pizza for 12 days in a car full of maggots," Casey's mother Cynthia Anthony told reporters.

But after the calls were released early Thursday evening, Cynthia Anthony insisted to WFTV that she did not contradict herself.

"It smelled like something had died in the car. I smelled it. I thought something had died in the car. I didn't know what it was. It could have been a squirrel. It could have been anything. But when we opened the trunk and we saw the maggots in the trunk with all the pizza and stuff, it was a rancid smell," she said.

Casey Anthony, the mother of the missing girl, also spoke on one of the 911 calls and sounded much more calm than her mother.

"My daughter has been missing for the last 31 days. I know who has her. I tried to contact her. I did get to speak to my daughter for about a minute," Casey Anthony tells the dispatcher.


SOURCE CLAIMS NEW CONCRETE SLAB IN YARD

And there is more mystery surrounding the backyard of the house owned by Caylee's grandparents. Deputies already dug up part of the yard after a dog sniffed the distinct smell of a dead body. Now, an inside source told Eyewitness News there may be a new concrete slab or pavers put in the yard since Caylee's disappearance.

The backyard, with the child's playhouse, has been a favorite spot for 2-year-old Caylee Anthony to hang out. Now a source close to the case told Eyewitness News a concrete slab was poured in the yard over the July 4th weekend and the grandmother of the missing girl refused to confirm or deny it.

"I have not talked to anybody about anything and I'm not making any comment about anything. We do yard work around our house all the time and our yard has completely been looked at," said Cynthia Anthony, Caylee's grandmother.

The sheriff's office couldn't confirm a new concrete slab in the yard, but do say there may have been newly installed concrete pavers there.

"The sheriff's office knows everything that we've done in that yard over the last year. We've disclosed everything. If they had any concerns, I would think they would have followed up on it already," Cynthia said.

The Independence Day weekend came just days before the family reported the missing girl to authorities. The Anthony's neighbors wouldn't talk to Eyewitness News, but backyard work might be tough for them to watch anyway; the entire backyard is surrounded by a fence that's tall enough to make it difficult to see over for the normal passer-by.

Eyewitness News' source says special cadaver dogs would have to be brought in to sniff any concrete. Last Friday, investigators spent hours searching the same backyard.

"[If] they want to come back, we told them they could take our whole house down. They could level it. They could dig a big hole, I don't care. Caylee's not there," Cynthia said.

Eyewitness News called the Orange County Buildings Department and they said no construction permits had been issued for the Anthony's home since 2005.

The grandfather of 2-year old Caylee Marie Anthony will hand out fliers and t-shirts this morning to volunteers as they continue their search for the missing toddler.

George Anthony said he is meeting volunteers at the Publix, off Chickasaw Trail and Lake Underhill Road at 11 a.m. The white T-shirts, paid for by the Never Lose Hope Foundation, feature a picture of Caylee and the phone numbers to the Orange County Sheriff's Office and Crimeline.

"Come on guys, this is going to help bring [Caylee] home," Anthony told reporters this morning as he handed them the t-shirts outside his Hopespring Drive home.

Earlier this morning, Cindy Anthony, the missing girl's grandmother, appeared on CBS's Early Show with attorney Jose Baez. The attorney is representing Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, who has been in jail since July 16.

The nationally televised appearance comes the day after the sheriff's office released the 911 calls made by Cindy Anthony on the evening of July 15 - the day she reported Caylee missing.

The calls offer a glimpse into the panic that beset the Anthony family the night Caylee Marie was reported missing.

Initial Call To 911 May Be Released Today

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Authorities are expected to release the initial call to 911 from the grandmother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony on Friday.

It was the first call from Cindy Anthony and was received by Orlando police dispatchers. Investigators released a second and third call on Thursday.

In those calls, Caylee Anthony's grandmother told a 911 dispatcher on July 15 that her daughter's car smelled like a dead body, a tape of the conversation showed.

Cindy Anthony asked authorities in her second call to arrest her daughter, Casey Anthony, who is Caylee's mother, for "stealing a car and money." She indicated to the 911 operator that Casey Anthony stole her car on June 30 and said she would like to speak to an officer and asked for someone to come to the house.

In a third call, a panicked Cindy Anthony said, "There's something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there has been a dead body in the car."

She said her daughter just admitted that her granddaughter has been missing for a month.

Throughout the investigation, Cindy Anthony has stood by her daughter, claiming the smell from her daughter's car was the smell of rotting pizza.

Casey Anthony has been in jail for eight days on charges of child neglect. She claimed she knew her child was missing for 30 days, but wanted to conduct her own investigation to spare her parents the heartbreak of knowing their granddaughter is missing.

She will remain in jail because her family is unable to pay the $500,000. Her lawyer is petitioning for the courts to lower the bond amount.

Caylee Anthony's mother begged for another day in 911 call

Listen to the new 911 calls: 'I've given you a month' to find Caylee

Casey Anthony begged her mother to give her one more day to find her missing daughter before getting the police involved in the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony last week, new information was revealed in a 911 recording to Orlando Police Department.

Cindy Anthony drove with her daughter, Casey, to an Orlando police substation on Pershing Avenue on July 15 to have her arrested for "grand theft," she told a dispatcher. Casey Anthony had stolen both a car and money from Cindy Anthony, and Cindy had the documents to prove it, she said.

Confusion about which law enforcement agency would handle the complaint took up the majority of the two and a half minute call.

While a dispatcher was transferring Cindy Anthony to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, a snippet of the mother and daughter's conversation was captured.

Cindy Anthony: 'Cause my next thing will be down to child (inaudible) thing and we'll have a court order to get her. If that's the way you want to play, we'll do it and you'll never. . . .

Casey Anthony: That's not the way I want to play. . . .

Cindy Anthony: Well then you have. . . .

Casey Anthony: Give me one more day.

Cindy Anthony: No, I'm not giving you another day, I've given you a month. . . .

The conversation, and the recording ended when an Orange County Sheriff's Office dispatcher picks up the line.

Yesterday evening, the sheriff's office released two later calls made from the Anthony home.

A distraught and sobbing Cindy Anthony told an emergency dispatcher her 2-year-old granddaughter had been missing for a month and that "it smelled like there's been a dead body" in the car driven by her daughter, Casey.

Thursday evening, the Orange County Sheriff's Office released two 911 calls made by Cindy Anthony on the evening of July 15.

Cindy Anthony frantically asked the dispatcher to send deputies to her Lee Vista-area home because "I found out my granddaughter has been taken, she has been missing for a month. Her mother finally admitted that she's been missing. . . . Oh. My God, they finally admitted that the baby sitter stole her. I need to find her."

And, then, the most chilling passage in the 4 1/2-minute recording:

"I told you my daughter was missing for a month. I just found her today, but I can't find my granddaughter . . . There's something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smelled like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

Casey Anthony has been in the Orange County Jail for nine days, held on more than $500,000 bail on charges including child neglect and making false official statements after allegedly telling investigators a string of lies about her daughter's whereabouts.

Earlier this week, after Casey Anthony's bail hearing, Cindy Anthony emphatically told reporters that the smell in the car was not one of human decomposition but that it came from a pizza that had been left in the car for some time. The tapes released Thursday conflict with those statements.

Confronted by reporters at her home moments after the tapes were released Thursday, Cindy Anthony said she stands by her daughter. When asked about her conflicting statements on the smell inside the trunk of the car, she said she initially believed something might have died in there: "It could have been a squirrel."
In the first call made to dispatchers, about 8:40 p.m. July 15, Cindy Anthony asked that a deputy be sent to her home to "arrest" her daughter for "stealing an auto and stealing money." In that call, Cindy Anthony was calm and said she finally found her daughter Casey after a month but that "I can't find my granddaughter."


After asking whether Casey Anthony had any weapons, the dispatcher asked: "Is she not telling you where her daughter is?"

"Correct," Cindy Anthony replied.

It was nearly an hour later that Cindy Anthony made the second, frantic call.

During that call, the dispatcher asked to speak to Casey Anthony. She was composed and unemotional throughout the conversation:

Dispatcher: Can you tell me a little bit what's going on?

Casey: My daughter's been missing for the last 31 days.

Dispatcher: And you know who has her?

Casey: I know who has her; I've tried to contact her. I actually received a phone call today, now from a number that is no longer in service. I did get to speak to my daughter, for about a moment, about a minute."

The dispatcher asks Casey Anthony about the stolen car, then shifts the conversation back to Caylee.

Dispatcher: And you last saw her a month ago?

Casey: 31 days. It's been 31 days.

911: Who had her? Do you have a name?

Casey: Her name is Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez . . .

Dispatcher: Why are you calling now? Why didn't you call 31 days ago?

Casey: I've been looking for her and have gone through other resources to try to find her, which was stupid . . .


Lawyer questions release

Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose A. Baez, said at a news conference Thursday that he disapproved of the Sheriff's Office release of 911 tapes in the case.

"I really don't understand law enforcement releasing that in the middle of a search for a 2-year-old girl," Baez said, adding the move does nothing to help find Caylee.

Baez called the news conference to announce that he had asked an appeals court to lower the "way-high" bail imposed on his client. The Anthony family has been unable to come up with the collateral required to secure bail.

By the time Baez began his media briefing, reporters already had heard about the 911 tapes. Baez was pressed for answers.


Baez said he would not release information or tapes in the case "like law enforcement has."

He also said he wants Casey Anthony out of jail to assist in the search for her daughter, perhaps by joining investigators to retrace her steps in the weeks since Caylee disappeared.

"She does not know where her child is," Baez said. "If she did, she would have told law enforcement, she would have told her family, me."

After the Orange County Sheriff's Office news conference, sheriff's Chief Mark Strobridge said detectives have had a hard time reaching Baez.

"The last contact, as far as I know, one of our investigators left Baez a message," he said. "I don't know if he's heard back."

Investigators have not spoken to Casey Anthony since before her arrest last week.

Detectives have been tight-lipped about the details of the investigation, releasing only a smattering of information.

"We have a responsibility to release credible information that is germane to the case," Strobridge said. "When we have more information that is verifiable, we'll release it."

Caylee has been missing since June 15, but her disappearance wasn't reported until last week.

New information in the search for Caylee
Last Edited: Friday, 25 Jul 2008, 1:42 PM EDT
Created: Friday, 25 Jul 2008, 12:06 PM EDT

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- FOX 35's Elisha Pappacoda spoke with Carlos Padilla, the public information officer for the Orange County Sheriff's Office who released new information in their case to find missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony.

He also cleared up misconceptions with information released on the case.

Padilla says in reference to the odor found in Caylee's mother's car, he says he has no doubt that the smell is of decomposition of a human body. “A lot of people don’t know this. In the human body, we have certain proteins that when they start to break down, the odor, I can’t compare it.”

He added, “You can put 10 [pizza] boxes and they can be there for 3 weeks. They can have maggots and still won’t smell like decomposition,” Padilla said.

Second 911 Call
http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7059935&version=1&locale=EN-US

Third 911 Call
http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7059944&version=1&locale=EN-US


Investigators are still waiting for test results from hair samples found in the back of Casey's, Caylee's mother, car. Police also found soil and a stain in the trunk. Padilla said the crime lab has prioritized these tests, but they take a while to complete. "The lab has promised us they are going to jump on it," he said.

Padilla says detectives are still having difficulty talking to Casey. “We can’t talk to her because the laywer won’t let us talk to her,” he said.

He says that talking to Casey is the key to the case. “She is the one that knows what happened. She is the last one that had any contact with the child,” Padilla said. Jose Baez, Casey’s attorney, has made several appearances on national television talking about tips that were called in, but Padilla says none of those have been shared with the sheriff’s office.

“If Casey would just say this is what happened.” Padilla says he does not want to violate her rights, but their focus is to find Caylee and they need to know where she is.

911 calls were released Thursday evening made by Cindy Anthony, Caylee’s grandmother. In the first call, she requested officers come to her home to arrest Casey because she had stolen her car and used her credit cards.

The second call to police was to report that her granddaughter, Caylee, had been missing for more than a month.

Padilla does not believe Cindy is covering anything up in reference to why three different calls were placed. The third call, which police are expected to release sometime Friday, was placed by Cindy’s cell phone.

“We knew about those inconsistencies. She is going through a very tough time. We still appreciate the family. It was her- she’s the one that made the phone calls,” Padilla said.

Caylee's grandfather George Anthony spoke to reporters Friday morning outside his home about the search for Caylee.

FOX 35's Holly Bristow asked him how hard it was to listen to the calls which he heard for the first time on Thursday. "It was extremely hard. I was almost ready to collapse to be completely honest with you. But you know something, whatever it's going to take to bring this little girl back I'm going to do it."

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to look into a tip the family received from a woman who says she saw Caylee in the Orlando Airport, boarding a flight to Atlanta with a woman in her 30’s or 40’s.

Padilla said the Sheriff's Office is not in possession of the surveillance tape from the airport yet, but does not think the tip is reliable. "I don't think that there's anything to indicate that it's going to pan out," he said.

In reference to reports of a concrete slab recently being poured in the family’s backyard, Padilla says the information is incorrect. “There's no slab back there unless we're blind bats," he said.

He did confirm that there were square pavers down on the ground but no concrete was poured. "Let's say Caylee had been back there. The dogs would have alerted us, " Padilla said.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office says they are sure nothing is in the backyard and they have no plans on going back.

On Thursday, Casey attorney Jose Baez asked to have her bond lowered from $500,000 to $10,000, saying she had a right to freedom while facing lesser charges. He said there was circumstantial evidence of a possible homicide but it hadn't left authorities confident enough to charge her with anything more serious.

For Casey's release, the family would be expected to come up with 10% of the bond amount, or $50,000. “After exhaustive efforts to put money together,” Baez said. “The Anthony family can not find the money for the bond.”

Casey remains at the Orange County Jail and is expected to be there throughout the weekend.

[Brianne]

I'm sorry, but if a car smells bad because food was left in it....Then you say that. You don't say it smells like a dead body unless that is what you suspect the smell came from.

Shame on Cindy Anthony for trying to cover for her daughter.

Cindy/Casey Jail phone Call

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The call was recorded hours after Casey Anthony, 22, was taken into custody last week in connection with the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee

During the conversation, Casey Anthony told her mother that she doesn't know where her daughter is.

"Mom," Casey Anthony said. "I just saw your nice little cameo on TV.

"Which one," Cindy Anthony said.

"What do you mean which one?" Casey Anthony said.

"Which one?" Cindy Anthony said. "I did four different ones and I haven't seen them all. I've only seen one or two so far."

"You don't know what my involvement is in (inaudible)?" Casey Anthony asked.

"Casey," Cindy Anthony said.

"Mom," Casey Anthony said.

"No, I don't know what you involvement is, sweetheart," Cindy Anthony said. "You are not telling me where she's at."

"Because I don't (expletive) know where she's at," Casey Anthony said. "You are kidding me?"

"Casey, don't waste your call screaming and hollering at me," Cindy Anthony said.

Cindy Anthony then told her that she should blame herself for being in jail.

Whose fault is it you're sitting in jail?" Cindy Anthony said. "Are you blaming me you are sitting in the jail? Blame yourself for telling lies. What do you mean it is not your fault? What do you mean it's not your fault, sweetheart? If you would have told them the truth and not lied about everything..."

"Do me a favor and just tell me what Tony's number is," Casey Anthony said. "I don't want to talk to you. Forget it."

Mother-Daughter Exchange Harsh Words In Missing Girl Mystery

POSTED: 6:34 pm EDT July 25, 2008

http://www.local6.com/news/16993169/detail.html

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The following is text from a jailhouse call made by Casey Anthony to her grandmother ,Cindy, and brother, Lee:

"Casey?" Cindy Anthony said to begin the call.

"Mom," Casey Anthony said. "I just saw your nice little cameo on TV."

Which one," Cindy Anthony said.

"What do you mean, which one?" Casey Anthony said.

"Which one?" Cindy Anthony said. "I did four different ones, and I haven't seen them all. I've only seen one or two so far."

"You don't know what my involvement is in (inaudible)?" Casey Anthony asked.

"Casey," Cindy Anthony said.

"Mom," Casey Anthony said.

"No, I don't know what you involvement is, sweetheart," Cindy Anthony said. "You are not telling me where she's at."

"Because I don't (expletive) know where she's at," Casey Anthony said. "You are kidding me?"

"Casey, don't waste your call screaming and hollering at me," Cindy Anthony said.

"Waste my call sitting in the jail?" Casey Anthony said.

"Whose fault is it you're sitting in jail?" Cindy Anthony said. "Are you blaming me you are sitting in the jail? Blame yourself for telling lies. What do you mean it is not your fault? What do you mean it's not your fault, sweetheart? If you would have told them the truth and not lied about everything…"

"Do me a favor and just tell me what Tony's number is," Casey Anthony said. "I don't want to talk to you. Forget it."

"I don't have his number," Cindy Anthony said.

"Well, get it from Lee," Casey Anthony said. "I know Lee is at the house. I saw Mallory's car was out front. It was just on the news. They were just live outside the house."

"I know they were," Cindy Anthony said.

"Well?" Casey Anthony said.

"Can you get Tony's number for me so I can call him?" Casey Anthony said.

"Hello?" Casey's brother Lee said.

"Hi," Casey Anthony said. "Can you get me Tony's number?"

"I can do that but I don't know what good it's going to do you at this point," Lee Anthony said.

"Well, I'd like to talk to him any way because I called to talk to my mother and it is a (expletive) waste," Casey Anthony said. "By the way, I don't want any of you coming up here when I have my first hearing for bond and everything. I mean don't even (expletive) waste your time coming up here."

"You know, you are having a real tough year and making it real tough for anybody to want to try to, even if it is giving..." Lee Anthony said.

"See that is just it, every..." Casey Anthony said.

"You are not even letting me finish," Lee Anthony said.

"Go ahead," Casey Anthony said.

"First, you are asking me for Tony's phone number so you can call him and then you immediately want to start pressing toward me and don't even worry about coming up here for all this stuff and trying to cut us out," Lee Anthony said.

"I'm not trying to cut anybody out," Casey Anthony said.

"I'm not going around and around with you," Lee Anthony said. "You know, that is pretty pointless. I'm not going to put everyone else through the same stuff that you've been putting the police and everybody else for the last 24 hours and the stuff you've been putting mom through for the last four or five weeks. I'm done with that. So, you can tell me what's going on. Kristina would love to talk to you because she thinks you will tell her what's going on. Frankly, we are going to find out, whatever is going on is going to be found out. So, why not do it now?"

"There is nothing to find out," Casey Anthony said. "There is absolutely nothing to find out. Not even what I told the detectives. I have no clue where Caylee is. If I knew where Caylee was, do you think that any of this would be happening? No."

"Anyway, you only have a couple of minutes with this so I'm not going to let you completely waste it," Lee Anthony said. "Here is Kristina."

"No, no," Casey Anthony said. "I want Tony's number. I'm not talking to anybody else."

"Hello," Kristina said.

"Hi," Casey Anthony said. "I'm glad everybody is at my house but I'll have to call you later or I'll have to call to get somebody to get your number. Do me a favor and get my brother back because I need Tony's number."

"OK," Kristina said. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm sitting in jail," Casey Anthony said. "There is nothing anybody can do now."

"I'm just trying to be a…" Kristina said.

"I know you are, honey," Casey Anthony said. "I absolutely know you are and I appreciate it and everything you are trying to do but I'd like to call Tony. He's not at my house is he?

"No," Kristina said. "It's just me and your parents and Lee."

"Well, can you do me a favor and get my brother back so I can get the number from him please?" Casey Anthony said.

"Does Tony have anything to do with Caylee?" Kristina asks.

"No," Casey Anthony said. "Nothing."

"OK, so why do you want to talk with Tony?" Kristina asks. "You probably don't want to tell me, do you?"

"Tony had nothing to do with Caylee," Casey Anthony said.

"Oh, then why do you want to talk with him?" Kristina asks.

"Because he is my boyfriend and I want to actually try and sit and talk to him because I didn't get a chance to talk to him earlier," Casey Anthony said. "Because I got arrested on a (expletive) whim today and because they are blaming me for stuff that I would never do. That I didn't do."

"Well, I'm on your side, you know that?" Kristina said.

"I know that, I just want to talk with Tony and get a little bit of…" Casey Anthony said.

"Casey, you have to tell me if you know anything about Caylee," Kristina said. "If anything happened to Caylee, I'll die -- you understand, I'll die."

"Oh my God," Casey Anthony said. "Calling you guys (was) a waste -- a huge waste. Honey, I love you. You know I'd never let anything happen to my daughter. If I knew where she was, this would not be going on."

"Then how come everyone is saying that you are lying?" Kristina said.

"Because nobody is (expletive) listening to anything that I'm saying," Casey Anthony said. "The media misconstrued everything that I said. The (expletive) detectives pulled (expletive) (expletive). They got all of their information from me but at the same time they are twisting stuff. They already said they are going to pin this on me if they don't find Caylee. They've already said that. They arrested me because they said.."

"They said that the person you left Caylee with doesn't exist," Kristina said.

"Because, Oh look, they can't find her in the Florida database," Casey Anthony said. "She is not just from Florida. If they would actually listen to anything that I would have said to them, they would have had their leads. They maybe could have tracked her down. They have not listened to a (expletive) thing that I've said."

"You know that whoever has Caylee, nobody is going to get away with it," Kristina said.

"I know, nobody is going to get away with it but at the same time, the only way they are going to find Caylee is if they actually listen to what I'm saying and I'm trying to help them and they are not letting me help them."

"So, how can I help them find her?" Kristina said. "The best thing you can do baby is to listen to me."

"They need to look up her information in the New York database and a North Carolina database," Casey Anthony said. "And other places that she's lived outside of Florida. That is what I told them, even again today. I told them that four times today. I sat up at the police station. The county police station…"

"Does she have Caylee or did she transfer Caylee to someone else?" Kristina asked.

"Honey, I have not talked with her," Casey Anthony said. "I don't know. I have not talked to her."

"How come everyone is saying that you are not upset and that you are not crying and you show no carrying of where Caylee is at all" Kristina asked.

"Because I'm not her (expletive) crying every two seconds because I have to stay composed to talk to detectives, to make other phone calls and do other things," Casey Anthony said. "I can't sit here and be crying every two seconds like I want to -- I can't."

"OK, Casey, don't yell at me, I'm on your side," Kristina said.

"I know you are on my side," Casey Anthony said. I'm not trying to.."

"Nobody is saying anything bad about you," Kristina said. "Your family is with you 100 percent."

"No they're not," Casey Anthony said. "That is (expletive) because I just watched the (expletive) news and heard everything that my mom said. Nobody in my own family is on my side."

"Yes they are," Kristina said.

"They just want Caylee back. That is all they are worried about right now is getting Caylee back," Casey Anthony said. "And you know what, that is all I care about right now."

"Casey, your daughter, your flesh and blood and baby girl.." Kristina said.

"Kristina, please," Casey Anthony said. "Put my brother back on the phone, I don't want to get into this with you right now. I love you honey and I'm glad that you are there. Thank you for your help. I will let you know if there is anything that you can do."

"You can't tell me anybody who can find Caylee?" Kristina asked.

"No," Casey Anthony said. "No because everyone number that I've tried and every number that I've called is disconnected --nothing. I can't get a hold of anybody."

"But that girl was the last person to have her?" Kristina said.

"She was the last person to have her," Casey Anthony said. "That was the last time I saw Caylee."

"Lee said he doesn't have Tony's phone number," Kristina said.

"Yes, he does," Casey Anthony said. "He has Tony's number in his phone. He needs to stop (expletive) lying. He just told me a second ago that he'd give me the number."

"So, if I go and get you Tony's number, are you going to finish talking to me?" Kristina said.

"I will call you tomorrow," Casey Anthony said. "I want to talk to him really quick. I wanted to actually try and call Mike. I haven't slept in four days. I have not slept in four days.

"Listen, if you are going to talk to anybody, you can talk to me," Kristina said.

"I know I can talk to you but at the same time, I know that I can talk to Tony and that is who I want to talk to now. I have not gotten the chance to talk to him since this morning. Since all of this stuff happened with trying to set up the MySpace and I made the MySpace,"

"Do you know the password?' Kristina asked.

"I made all of it," Casey Anthony said.

"What's the password to MySpace so we can see if anybody has written any leads of where Caylee might be," Kristina asked.

"You can go online and see it," Casey Anthony said. "As far as messages, I don't know if anybody is going to be messaging."

Casey Anthony then exchanged log-in information with Kristina.

Kristina then gave Casey Anthony Tony's phone number.

"Can Tony tell me anything?" Kristina asked.

"Baby, Tony doesn't know anything, Casey Anthony said. "And, I have not even talked with him since this morning."

"Has Tony seen Caylee?" Kristina asked.

"Tony has not seen Caylee since the beginning of June," Casey Anthony said. "What's Tony's number again?"

Kristina gives the number again.

"Thank you," Casey Anthony said. "I will find a way to call you later. Leave your number at my house with my mother and I can get it either later tonight."

"How can I get a hold of you?" Kristina said.

"I'm at the jail, you can't," Casey Anthony said.

"You don't have a way to write my phone number down?" Kristina said.

"No, I have no way of writing it down," Casey Anthony said. "I have to remember Tony's number. I have to try to memorize his number right now. Just leave your number with my mom and I will try to call you in the morning if I don't get a chance to call you tonight."

"So, how can I find information about that girl?" Kristina asked.

"Have them look up a New York license for Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez," Casey Anthony said. "They've just been looking up the last night Gonzalez or the last name Fernandez. If they look up her entire name, they might actually find her. They have not done that. They haven't listened to anything that I've said."

"How do you spell Zenaida

"Z-e-n-a-i-d-a," Casey Anthony said.

"Where does she live?" Kristina said. "Because they went and looked at her place and…"

"Baby, you are not telling me anything that I don't already know," Casey Anthony said. "Again, I've only been in jail since about 8:30 tonight. I was with them all day. I know that. I was with officers pretty much since 9 p.m. last night up until this evening when I came up here."

"But you are telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" Kristina asked.

"That I have no clue where my daughter is?" Casey Anthony said. "Yes, that is the truth. That is the absolute truth."

"They'll find out and whoever…" Kristina said.

"OK, Kristina, I'm hanging up," Casey Anthony said. "I've need to make this other call before I forget the number. So, I'll call you later."

"OK," Kristina said. "Bye."

FOX 35 NEWS

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The investigators leading the case to try and find 2 year old Caylee Anthony and the lawyer defending the mother met face to face for the first time Friday night.


Neither side said much about what happened however.

Fury outside the Orange County Jail as Fox 35 searches for answers in what continues to be a bizarre case of missing child Caylee Anthony.

Casey's Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, was unusually mum about his most recent meeting with Caylee's mom, Casey.

I can’t comment,” said attorney Jose Baez who is representing the mom. “I think it will create more confusion and of all that been bickered back and forth. I think its better not to say anything.”

Moments after Baez exited the jail, Sergeant John Allen with the Orange County Sheriff's Office emerged.

“We didn’t have an opportunity to talk with Casey this evening,” he said. “Certainly that’s what we were hoping get some information that could help us.”

Sgt Allen didn't comment on if the visit with Baez would lead them closer to Caylee.
He said he has to wait for a phone call from Baez before he can answer that.

Most of the information concerning what happened inside the jail came from Casey’s brother Lee who also saw Casey today. Lee said he informed Casey of her rights. He also laid the groundwork for Casey to meet with detectives which could happen in the near future.

In the meantime Sgt. Allen says they still have an urgent task at hand and that’s to find Caylee.

July 25, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony, the mother of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, remained jailed Friday as her attorney continued trying to get her bond lowered. Casey's attorney says, instead of her sitting jail or even under court order to stay home, he wants to be able to retrace her steps with her by his side.

"Is it safe to say you believe the babysitter story?" WFTV reporter Steve Barrett asked attorney Jose Baez.

"Absolutely," he said.

Baez is undaunted by the lies of his client or the claims by her mother of the smell of death in a 911 call.

"I think that's somebody's spin. I really do. I think the point is it stinks in that car. Okay. She's not a cadaver dog," Baez said.

In fact, investigators said a real cadaver dog did identify the scent of human decay in the car Casey was driving.

In recent days, Baez has stumbled, seeming confused about his own case, often talking in circles.

"It was pizza. They looked in there and it smelled bad because of the pizza," he told Barrett.

But at Casey's bond hearing, he admitted there is something to the dead body stench.

"There is circumstantial evidence of a possible homicide. I will give them that. But circumstantial evidence apparently has not led them, confident enough to charge her with any specific homicide, or kidnapping, or any capital offense," he said.

Still, Baez wants an appeals court to intervene and allow a lower bond so the novice attorney with just three years experience can set out himself to solve the case.

"I would like the opportunity to have my client take me to where she says she took the police. I would like to have my client take me to everywhere she has been over the last several weeks," Baez said.

Baez said he expects a ruling on whether the appeal will be heard in the next several days and, even if she is released she'd likely be confined to her parent's house, making it unlikely Baez will get the grand tour he's hoping for.

Grandmother of missing toddler says 'threat' against Anthony family is keeping mother silent

ORLANDO, FL -- A woman who called Cindy Anthony’s cell phone claimed she saw her missing 2 year old granddaughter Caylee with a Hispanic woman in New Jersey.

The woman left a message saying she saw the toddler with a “babysitter” inside a Melville, NJ Wal-Mart.

Anthony says detectives aren't following up these sort of tips, instead focusing too much on her daughter, who remains in jail on a $50,000 bond.

"Casey is protecting this family, she is protecting Caylee, she is protecting us, she's afraid of speaking to law enforcement.”, Anthony said

From behind bars, Cindy Anthony says her daughter told her, there is a threat against Caylee and the entire Anthony family and that's the reason she's been misleading or silent on the toddler’s whereabouts. Casey apparently wouldn't say what that threat was.

"I don't want to point fingers at the Orange County Sheriff's Office, but they want their job to be easy, they want an easy answer, if there was an easy answer Casey would have told us a month ago."

When Cindy called the number back, a woman who picked up the phone said she never made the call. Apparently another dead end, but the family says they will follow every lead. Before she left the prison, Casey gave her a message for her daughter.

"We love you stay strong, keep telling people, this is not my mommy and i want to be back with momma, Ci Ci and uncle Lee."

Cindy Anthony, appearing on The Early Show, defended her daughter, Casey Anthony, mother of a missing 2-year-old girl. (CBS)


(CBS/AP) The grandmother of a missing 2-year-old Orlando girl said that she believes her daughter does not know where her missing granddaughter is.

Casey Anthony, 22, is being held on $500,000 bond after investigators said she lied to them and did not report daughter Caylee Marie Anthony missing for more than a month.

Appearing on CBS' The Early Show, Cindy Anthony, the mother of Casey Anthony and grandmother of Caylee, said that her daughter had requested a sketch composite artist to do a drawing of the person she says took her daughter.

"She is saying that she will speak to authorities like the FBI," Anthony said. "She has been trying to cooperate. She has not changed her story. She maintains that she knows who has Caylee, but does not know where Caylee is, and I would like to make sure that this is set straight."

Anthony criticized what she called distortions in reports of Casey allegedly changing her story, or not cooperating with police.

"The first 24, 48 hours were very … we were all in shock and very frustrated," she said. "It's been reported she is not cooperating, does not want to speak with police. We were told we had to wait to speak to our daughter; we found out yesterday we could have spoken to her Wednesday or Thursday of last week.

"I'm not sure why people are doing what they want, but what I want is the media to report responsibly … because what we don't want to take away from all of this is that there is a missing child. That is a fact."

Anthony also criticized authorities who said that the person her daughter claimed kidnapped Caylee does not exist.

"There's nine people with that name in Orlando, Florida," she said. "There's four people with that name in Winterhaven, Florida. There's people with that name in Miami. There's four people in New York City, three in the Bronx. So, come on, folks. Someone needs to start listening to my daughter, and if it's not the local authorities, or the FBI, please, get involved in this case and come and interview my daughter like she's been requesting."

Her comments followed Friday's release by the Orange County Corrections Department of a July 16 call from jail between Cindy Anthony and her daughter.

In the call, Cindy Anthony complained to her daughter that she wasn't telling her where the toddler was. Casey Anthony responded angrily that she didn't know where the girl was.

"Are you kidding me?" Casey Anthony said.

Cindy responded, "Don't waste your call to scream and holler at me."

She added that her daughter's incarceration is her own fault.

"You're blaming me that you're sitting in the jail? Blame yourself for telling lies," Cindy Anthony said.

Prosecutors said in court earlier this week that Casey Anthony is a person of interest in what is beginning to look like a homicide investigation, though she has not been charged. Sheriff's deputies testified that her car smelled of decomposition, and a cadaver-trained dog noted a smell of human remains there.


Early Show anchor Chris Wragge asked Anthony, who he said has been very supportive of her daughter through many interviews with the press, about the recording of her telephone call released by the police: "It sounded like you're intimating maybe your daughter's not telling the truth and not being forward with authorities. Do you now believe she has been 100% forward with authorities and that you do believe everything she's saying?"


"I've said this over and over again: We all were in shock over my granddaughter being missing," she told Wragge. "Casey has maintained her story all along, that Caylee was kidnapped. That's the first thing she stated when the authorities arrived. She told me over the last month that the baby-sitter had her on many occasions when I asked if I could speak with my granddaughter. She made excuses for a reason, because she was trying in her own way to plead with this person.
