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.
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.
Friends told Eyewitness News Casey celebrated Independence Day with her boyfriend Tony Lazarro. She partied and cooked dinner for him and his roommate.

Odd that this guy went to the jail to visit Casey as it's clear Casey doesn't remember who he is from high school.

Casey Anthony wipes tears from her eyes at a bond hearing at the Orange County courthouse in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, July 22, 2008. The 22-year-old mother reported her daughter missing last week, more than a month after the little girl allegedly disappeared. Anthony faces charges of child endangerment, making false officials statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.(AP Photo/Red Huber, pool)
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Parents Cindy and George Anthony and brother Lee all got the chance to talk to Casey Anthony for the first time Friday afternoon since she was arrested more than a week ago.
The jailhouse visits give the family new hope in finding two year old Caylee Anthony, who has been missing for more than a month
While helping with new leads, Lee said his sister is sticking to her original story, she is still saying yes, Caylee is alive. Caylee is okay.
Lee said Casey cleared up a couple of things that detectives thought were lies from the beginning, where Casey worked and the connection to a mystery babysitter named Zanaida. He said Casey worked at Universal Studios, but was a contract employee with Kodak, and later Colorvision, so no Universal records would show she worked there.
Casey told investigators she met Zanaida through two co-workers. She said one friend used Zanaida as a nanny for his son.

But Lee thinks investigators never followed up because they thought it was all a lie.
“Now we can actually verify these are real people,” he said “We need to contact them. Now we’re one step closer to finding this person that took Caylee.”
One thing Casey Anthony did not reveal to her family today was where her daughter is now. Her family still believes her when Casey says she doesn’t know.
I’ve never needed anybody to reconfirm my gut feeling, said Lee Anthony. “Casey said point blank Caylees okay, we need to find her, I don’t know where she’s at.”
The family plans to visit Casey again at the jail early next week

Cindy Anthony Talks About Tip From Georgia!
Cindy, stop talking to the media as you are not helping the situation. If anything, go and visit your daughter in jail and speak directly with her. All inmates are allowed visitors. Speak with Casey's attorney and insist you speak with your daughter.
I find it odd that the family was not able to come up with the bail money especially after Cindy's testimony at the bond hearing. I thought you could put up your home as collateral to get a person out of jail. This would be a secure bond and if the person took off, the bonds company could take the house. I might be talking into my hat on the one, but I thought this would be feasible.
What Cindy needs to do is REMOVE her phone number from the webpage and only leave the tip line and the phone numbers for the police department. Cindy's accusation that the person calling about Caylee couldn't get through to the tip-line is so untrue. If the person couldn't get through the tip-line, then the next place a tipster would call would be the Sheriff's Department and their phone number is also listed. The last person I would call would be the family going through all of this to tell them they saw Caylee. This makes no sense at all!
I still find it very disturbing when I heard Casey during the 911 call indicating she heard from the babysitter that day, July 15th, of which the phone number is no longer in service but was able to speak to Caylee for a moment .. a minute. WHAT!!!!
So what did this person do, call Casey and then turnaround and cancel her telephone/cell phone account? Makes no sense at all as all phone records can be traced especially since its obvious the call went to Casey cell phone #. So easy to check, so very, very easy to check.
The cell phone records will be very important in this case especially with Casey calling people and it will be curious to see how oftern Granny called Casey in that month.
Cindy Anthony Talks About Tips
Cindy, Cindy, Cindy, the police are not going to let you know anything about the investigation becauseyou can't seem to stay off TV. You are not helping when you speak about what the police are not doing when you don't have a clue what they are doing.
Now that the 911 tapes have been released, it is obvious why

Cindy Anthony 911 Phone Calls
http://www.wftv.com/video/16980843/index.html
Mother (Cindy) claims daughter stole her car on June 30th and also stole money. Found her daughter after a month but this phone call is made on July 15th, so it has only been 2 weeks.
http://www.wftv.com/video/16980866/index.html
Casey says she hasn't seen her daughter in 31 days. This brings it back to either June 14th or June 15th. June 14th, Cindy said she tucked Caylee in bed, June 15th, Cindy said she took Caylee to the nursing home to see Caylee's great-grandfather.
Mother CLEARLY says she got the car back today (which is July 15th) and it "smells like a dead body was in the car"
Casey said that she received a phone call today (July 15th) from the babysitter today (July 15th) from a phone that is no longer in service and spoke to Caylee for a minute. WHAT?????? Casey spoke to Caylee on the phone for a minute on July 15th?

Nancy Grace Interrogates Attorney Jose Baez
Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 8:00 PM Transcript from Nancy Grace's Show
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.
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...
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.
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?
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!
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.
GRACE: Everyone, we are switching gears -- Mr. Baez, thank you very much for being with us.
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.
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...
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.
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?
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!
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: 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.

GRACE: Good to know. Good to know.
GRACE: Everyone, we are switching gears -- Mr. Baez, thank you very much for being with us.
Attorney Makes Accusations Against Sheriff's Office
Attorney Makes Accusations Against Sheriff's Office
Fireworks were flying Wednesday night in the case of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. Her mother's attorney, Jose Baez, made startling accusations against the Orange County Sheriff's Office while appearing on CNN's Nancy Grace show.
Baez said his client, Casey Anthony, is keeping her head up, but was bothered by the high bond that her family has to come up with to get her out of jail, where she has been held for a full week. Detectives, though, say Casey and her attorney are slowing their investigation, something her attorney denies.
"The confusion comes from everyone's misunderstanding about attorney-client privilege and about what I'm willing to do," said Baez.
In fact, he accused Orange County Deputy Carlos Padilla of lying about their communication.
"So Padilla is completely lying when he says you have not returned his phone calls?" Baez was asked.
"100%, 100%," he said.
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 his TV appearance Wednesday night, during which host Nancy Grace 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. They said Baez's comments on TV were ridiculous.

Family of Missing Toddler Caylee Anthony Mum on TV Reports of New Concrete Slab in Yard
Thursday, July 24, 2008
MyFOXOrlando.com
The family of an Orlando toddler missing for more than a month won't answer questions about a tip that a new concrete slab was poured in the grandparents' backyard over July 4 weekend, shortly before they reported the child missing.
Caylee Marie Anthony's grandmother would neither confirm nor deny the tip about the fresh concrete received by local WFTV Eyewitness News in Orlando, according to the station.
Orange County Sheriff's detectives said they didn't know anything about the reported addition to the property, which they searched last week with cadaver dogs. The toddler was reported missing last week.
"We do yard work around our house all the time and our yard has been completely looked at," Cindy Anthony told WFTV Thursday morning. "I feel very confident. 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."
Orange County, Fla., sheriff's detectives told FOX News they weren't aware of a recently-poured block of concrete.
Cindy Anthony said there have been two reported sightings of 2-year-old Caylee in Georgia and she believes her granddaughter is with someone heading to Charlotte, N.C.
"We know where she's at," Cindy Anthony told FOX News Thursday before pleading with the person she believes has the child to turn back. "Please don't take her further into the mountains. It looks like she's headed northeast in Georgia close to the North Carolina border. ... This is all very encouraging right now."
Her plea came after her husband, George Anthony, asked the public in an audio message for help in finding their granddaughter before her third birthday. She was last seen on Father's Day, June 15, and reported missing exactly a month later.
In the recording, broadcast Wednesday and arranged by the Never Lose Hope Foundation, George Anthony tells listeners that the reward for information leading to Caylee's whereabouts is now $225,000 — a $100,000 increase thanks to local businessman Peter Benevides, according to MyFOX Orlando.
He describes the little girl as being 3 feet tall with big, hazel eyes and brown hair.
"She could be anywhere," he says. "Please help me and my family bring her home for her third birthday."
Caylee's mother, 22-year-old Casey Marie Anthony, remained jailed in Orange County, Fla., Thursday. Earlier this week a judge set her bond at $500,000, 10 percent of which her family is trying to raise for her release.
Police haven't named a suspect in the child's disappearance, but have called Casey Anthony a "person of interest," after saying they detected the odor of human decomposition and found dirt and strands of hair similar to Caylee's in the trunk of a car driven by Casey Anthony.
Cadaver dogs searched the grandparents' property last week after a neighbor told them Casey Anthony borrowed a shovel around the time her small daughter was last seen. Casey and Caylee were living with George and Cindy Anthony, reportedly until the time the toddler vanished.
Prosecutors have said the case could be turning into a homicide investigation; defense lawyers have conceded that there is enough circumstantial evidence to point to a possible killing, but there isn't enough to charge Casey Anthony with a crime.
On Wednesday, Cindy Anthony disputed investigators' claims about detecting the scent of human decomposition, suggesting instead that it was the smell of old food or garbage they'd picked up instead.
"Do me a favor," she said. "Put a little piece of pizza or any piece of garbage in your car today and leave it shut up for 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 days in this heat and then come back to me in 19 days and tell me what it smells like."
Cindy Anthony discounted the decomposition testimony after she received a tip that a child matching Caylee's description had been seen at the Orlando International Airport boarding a flight to Atlanta.
Cindy Anthony said the tip was from a woman who lives in Orlando and was left on her voicemail. The grandmother said she called the woman back and they talked.
The tip was even more credible because the person reported that the little girl pronounced her last name the same way Caylee does, Casey Anthony's defense attorney Jose Baez told FOX News.
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," pronouncing it without the "h" the way the missing child's grandparents say she does.
The caller was to meet with Orange County Sheriff's detectives to produce a composite sketch of the woman seen with the girl, according to Cindy Anthony.
Casey Anthony has been in prison since last week, when she finally reported her toddler daughter missing July 15 at her parents' urging. She was arrested on charges of child endangerment, making false officials statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.
Detectives have said that almost nothing Casey Anthony has told them about her child's disappearance has checked out to be true. They haven't even been able to get information about the child's father, who Anthony has said is dead, Orange County Det. Yuri Melich testified at her bond hearing on Tuesday.
Cindy Anthony has reportedly said little about Caylee's dad, other than he was never married to Casey Anthony, had no involvement in Caylee's life and died a few years ago in a traffic accident — which the grandmother said she learned about in a local obituary, according to MyFOX Orlando.
Her attorney denies that his client has been lying to police and says she's been cooperating. He and her family want her released so she can help in the search for the girl.
Baez told FOX News on Thursday that he has not found or seen any evidence of substance abuse by Casey Anthony and knows of no history of mental health problems.
Cindy Anthony declined to answer questions about whether her daughter was a "habitual liar," as her friends have claimed, and said it doesn't concern her that police suspect Casey might have done something to her granddaughter.
"My focus is on finding Caylee," the weeping grandmother told FOX News. "Everyone believes she's alive."

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," pronouncing it without the "h" the way the missing child's grandparents say she does.
The caller was to meet with Orange County Sheriff's detectives to produce a composite sketch of the woman seen with the girl, according to Cindy Anthony.
Casey Anthony has been in prison since last week, when she finally reported her toddler daughter missing July 15 at her parents' urging. She was arrested on charges of child endangerment, making false officials statements and obstructing a criminal investigation.
Detectives have said that almost nothing Casey Anthony has told them about her child's disappearance has checked out to be true. They haven't even been able to get information about the child's father, who Anthony has said is dead, Orange County Det. Yuri Melich testified at her bond hearing on Tuesday.
Cindy Anthony has reportedly said little about Caylee's dad, other than he was never married to Casey Anthony, had no involvement in Caylee's life and died a few years ago in a traffic accident — which the grandmother said she learned about in a local obituary, according to MyFOX Orlando.
Her attorney denies that his client has been lying to police and says she's been cooperating. He and her family want her released so she can help in the search for the girl.
Baez told FOX News on Thursday that he has not found or seen any evidence of substance abuse by Casey Anthony and knows of no history of mental health problems.
Cindy Anthony declined to answer questions about whether her daughter was a "habitual liar," as her friends have claimed, and said it doesn't concern her that police suspect Casey might have done something to her granddaughter.
"My focus is on finding Caylee," the weeping grandmother told FOX News. "Everyone believes she's alive."
Caylee Mysteriously Seen On Flight To Atlanta
I find it amazing that the person that called in this "tip" to Cindy Anthony described what the child said when she said her name BUT there is nothing with regards to who the person was that Caylee was with! Was it male, female, height, color or hair. Nothing at all was revealed except Caylee said her full name.
There is a flight out of Orlando to Atlanta, and you can also take a flight out of Orlando to Jacksonville and pick up a flight to Atlanta with the original ticket showing Orlando to Atlanta.
Casey took a trip to Jacksonville and did she take this trip by car or air and when did she take this trip?
Unless you are on a non stop flight from Orlando to Atlanta, most flights out of Orlando make a plane change in Miami, or North Carolina.
I'd like to know if Casey and Jesse went to the beach on Friday, June 27th, the same day that the car was left in the parking lot? If they went to the beach on Friday, was Caylee with them?
The police hopefully have verified with this "tipster" the time and date of the phone call to Cindy, both destination of the caller as well as to Cindy. Also verify whether or not there was a problem with the "tipster" line for call-ins regarding Caylee.
It's hard to believe one family can have so many problems. Car running out of gas, borrowing a shovel, pizza rotting in the back of a car, (Who puts a bag of pizza in the trunk of a car and leaves it there?)can't remember when they visited the grandfather in the nursing home, can't remember where the husband is working, never say a paycheck from Casey, decomposition hits in the backyard as well as in the trunk.
The list is endless .... including the Attorney not able to recall the airline and date of the mystery caller about Caylee being on a flight to Atlanta.

Grandmother Talks About Atlanta Phone Call
http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7047071&version=1&locale=EN-US
Listen carefully to the grandmother speaking. For someone who is a nurse, she has no clue or understanding that the smell of decomposition is just what it is and that just the smell can't determine whether it is Caylee, John Dick or Harry.
The smell of a humans decomposition is just that ... a human died on that spot, in that car, or under that tree. No race, gender, or name can be determined by the smell of decomposition.
Based on the fact that Caylee has been missing and not accounted for and was not reported for many weeks and the cadaver dogs hit on decomposition in the backyard and truck is very strong evidence that the child was dead.
Cindy is ranting on and on about the investigation. Clearly the police are not going to tell Cindy of everything they are doing with the investigation.
Now Cindy claims that Casey reported Caylee as being kipnapped and why isn't the FBI involved. The FBI is not involved because right now there is no evidence the child has been kidnapped.
I didn't quite understand what Cindy was talking about the Jacksonville trip. Apparently Casey took a trip to Jacksonville and a friend introduced Casey to a Nanny. This just doesn't make any sense.
None of this makes any sense ... none of it! Now they want the hearing overtuned through Federal Court. I am not sure this could even go to Federal Court.
Although, Dog, The Bounty Hunter was showing some interest in this case, I don't think he should get involved because something really stinks in Orlando!

Cindy Anthony Speaks To Media After Hearing!
Cindy says: "she is a nurse of decomposition". HUH???
Cindy needs to get an attorney as she is revealing things which just might "bite her in the ass". She has receipts of where Casey was for the last two weeks? How the hell does Cindy have receipts of where Casey was for the last two weeks? This makes no sense because if Cindy has receipts, why the heck didn't she notice the car Casey was driving was not even around DURING those two weeks?
Cindy, the police are trying to find Caylee, and they need your daughter's cooperation. Caylee can't leave a trail without an adult creating the trail.
Somewhere it is stated that Cindy tucked Caylee in bed on June 14, 2008 and in court Cindy admits she went to see her father at the nursing home on June 15, 2008 with Caylee.
This means that back on "June 8th or 9th" when Cindy said Casey left with Caylee to bond with Caylee, at some point Casey returned back to her mother's house and continued living there.
There is no evidence against my daughter claims Cindy at the hearing. HUMMMMMMMMM! And Cindy says: "the cadaver dogs are WRONG!!!"

Casey Anthony NOW Person Of Interest
Today, Tuesday, July 22, 2008 was the bond hearing for Casey Anthony. She was being charged with Obstructon for Justice as she would not release who has her almost 3 year old daughter Caylee.
Casey took the Orlando Police Department to many sites in Florida including Universal Studios and Hard Rock Cafe claiming she was employed at these establishments. When the poice had enough of her lies, they arrested her on Obstruction of Justice.
Bond was set today in the amount of $500,000.00 and she must weat a GPS tracking system at all times.
There is a strange timeline regarding Caylee as reported by the grandmother.
June 9, 2008, Casey took Caylee from her mother's house to bond with the child.
June 15, 2008, Cindy, grandmother took Caylee to see her great-grandfather at the nursing home and the grandmother also recorded a video.
June 15 - June 27, 2008 - Casey borrows a shovel from the neighbor.
June 24, 2008 - Casey's finace called Casey to tell her he resigned from the Orlando Police Department and claims he heard Casey tell Caylee to get off the table, and heard Caylee's voice.
June 27, 2008 - Casey's car, owned by her parents was spotted in the parking lot of a check cashing place.
June 30, 2008 - Casey car, owned by her parents was towed by the towing company.
July 15, 2008 - Casey was at her mother's house, letter comes from the towing company about the car. Cindy asks Casey about Caylee and can't get a straight answer so Cindy calls the police.
July 16 - 18, 2008 - Casey takes police on a wild goose chase showing them where she worked, but actually doesn't work there and where Casey left Caylee with a babysitters. Casey arrested on Child Neglect and Obstruction of Justice.
July 23, 2008 - Court issues a $500,000.00 bond with a GPS tracking device.
Somewhere between June 15th and June 27th something happened to Caylee. Even though Jesse Grund, the fiance to Casey said he overhead Caylee voice while speaking to Casey, it doesn't mean it was actually Caylee's voice.
I have so many questions of the grandmother, especially from June 15 to July 15th. We know the grandmother took Caylee to the nursing home, but where did she return Caylee? Did Caylee go back to the grandmother's house where she had been living or did the grandmother drop off Caylee somewhere else?
During the bond hearing the prosecuter asked Cindy (grandmother) whether she knew if her daughter worked. The grandmother said "yes, she has a job as an Event Planner at Universal Studios since the beginning of January 2008. The odd thing is the grandmother never saw her daughter with money, and even had to give her daughter money. Although not strange to the average person in the world but to Cindy ... this was normal.
My question to Cindy would be: "Was your daughter out of the house for 8 hours a day while she was working at Universal Studios and who babysat Caylee?"
By the sounds of the financial situation within the Anthony household, the parents were paying for everything for Casey and Caylee and Casey contributed nothing. The parents were even in default for over $12,000.00 to Bank of America. And according to Cindy, her husband had only obtained a job on July 15th, the day Cindy called the police.
Cindy was not able to tell the court where her husband was working.
The car, the car, the car. Something strange about the car. From around June 27th until July 15th, neither Cindy or her husband Geroge asked Casey about the car. Like "hey Casey, where is OUR car?" The child's car seat was in the car when the car was towed.
Did Casey's parents see Casey between June 15th and July 15th? We know Casey was with her mother on July 15th as the mother called 911, but did Cindy see Casey on June 15th when she returned from the nursing home?
The father of Casey, George called his son on July 15th, not to tell him about the car, or Caylee being missing, but to say something is not right with his mother.
Lee Anthony brother to Casey comes to the house and then finds out about the car, and Caylee and that his mother called the police. A conversation between Lee and his sister Casey, she reveals to her brother she hasn't seen Caylee for 31 days.
Now whether this is true or not remains in question. I believe Lee when he says this is what his sister Casey told him, but I am not sure whether I believe Casey. HOWEVER if you go back 31 days, give or take a day, this brings the day back to June 15, 2008, Father's Day when the grandmother took Caylee to the nursing home to see her great-grandfather.
The parents were unaware that Casey has a passport. Now the prosecuter mentions whether or not Cindy knew if her daughter left the country and Cindy was not aware nor did she know that her daughter has a passport.
How the hell could Cindy not know if her daughter left the country or not because the daughter has been living with the mother for over 3 years. Casey is only 22!
It has been reported that Caylee's biological father died a year ago in a car accident. This remains to be verified because at the bond hearing, Cindy reveals she believed Jesse Grund was the biological father of Caylee. Cindy claims she saw the "obituary" in the newspaper. WTF, you see a lot of obituaries in the newspaper. The odd part is the child, Caylee does not have her father's last name. Well not odd to the world today, but odd in some ways.
Back to the car. Not sure when Cindy and George picked up the car from the towing company, but the car was back at the house. Once the police found out that the car was abandon in a parking lot for three days, they questioned Casey. She claims the car ran out of gas. I sure would like to know if there is any gas in the car when the parents picked up the car. This car is the key!
Once the police seized the car from the Anthony household, it was when they opened up the trunk of the car and the trunk reaked of decomposition. The police brought is two cadaver dogs at different times and both dogs alerted to the decomposition.
When the police questioned the Anthony family, it was then that the family said: "we found a pizza in the trunk full of maggots so we tossed it away"! If I recall correctly it was Cindy, the grandmother that spoke about the pizza.
As it stands, the police found hair in the trunk which was long in length like Caylee's, they found a stain, that needs to be tested as well as some dirt in the trunk!
Casey at one point while in jail calls her brother Lee, franctically wanting Tony's phone number. Tony is an ex-boyfriend of Casey's. Hoever in an interview with the owner of "Fusian Ultra Lounge", Casey recently dated Tony.
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.
Cindy was RUDE, RUDE, Rude on the stand during the bond hearing. I have never seen a witness on stand like this in my lifetime. Smacking the gum in her mouth, talking about only drinking water and no food, no sleep and so much about her then what the court needed to know. Although it was actually good for everyone to see her testimony on the stand.
It's clear the prosecutor has also been watching Cindy on the cable news and regular news shows, especially with On The Record and Fox in the morning when Cindy didn't want to talk about Casey, just find Caylee.
Well Cindy, the only way anyone is going to find Caylee is to talk to Casey! DUH!!!
The detective reported that Cindy was annoyed when he asked her the name of her father and what nursing home he was in so the detective can go there and review the guest book. Cindy stated in an interview somewhere, that she had to sign in at the nursing home when she visits her father.
Cindy told the detective basically she wasn't going to cooperate with them as she would get the info herself. The detective called Lee, son of Cindy and expressed the need to get this information so they can verify when Cindy and Caylee were at the nursing home.
Did Cindy take the car she let Casey drive to this nursing home or did Cindy use another family car? Did Casey also go to the nursing home with her mother and daughter on Father's Day?"
Something makes me think they took this white Pontiac to the nursing home because it has a child seat in it. The white Pontiac belongs to Casey parent sbut they let her drive it!
Casey wants "immunity" and she will tell the police where Caylee is. This does not sound good at all and I hope that the prosecuter doesn't honor her request.
So, is the Cindy covering up for her daughter?
Is Casey covering up for Cindy?
Does George the father of Casey know anything at all? Although he is a retired law enforcement person, didn't he even wonder where his granddaughter was OR notice the car he owns hasn't been around for two weeks?
Is Jesse Grund part of the whole scenerio? Remember he was a cop at the Orlando Police Department and resigned from the force on June 24th, three days before the car was left in the parking lot and towed on June 30th.
And then there is Anthony Lazzaro, the infamous "Tony", a recent boyfriend of Casey. Casey wanted his phone number ASAP! Is Tony involved too!
The search goes on for Caylee and I pray they find this precious child and that the people involved get the "DEATH PENALTY"!!!!
Casey took the Orlando Police Department to many sites in Florida including Universal Studios and Hard Rock Cafe claiming she was employed at these establishments. When the poice had enough of her lies, they arrested her on Obstruction of Justice.
Bond was set today in the amount of $500,000.00 and she must weat a GPS tracking system at all times.

Lee Anthony brother to Casey comes to the house and then finds out about the car, and Caylee and that his mother called the police. A conversation between Lee and his sister Casey, she reveals to her brother she hasn't seen Caylee for 31 days.
Now whether this is true or not remains in question. I believe Lee when he says this is what his sister Casey told him, but I am not sure whether I believe Casey. HOWEVER if you go back 31 days, give or take a day, this brings the day back to June 15, 2008, Father's Day when the grandmother took Caylee to the nursing home to see her great-grandfather.
The parents were unaware that Casey has a passport. Now the prosecuter mentions whether or not Cindy knew if her daughter left the country and Cindy was not aware nor did she know that her daughter has a passport.
How the hell could Cindy not know if her daughter left the country or not because the daughter has been living with the mother for over 3 years. Casey is only 22!

Caylee's Grandmother Speaks Out
This video was done by the Orlando Sentential. Somewhere after July 15th when the police were notified of Caylee disappearance.
First Interview With Caylee's Grandmother - Today Show
This is the first interview with Cindy Anthony, I believe this interview was on Monday, July 21st.
By Mike Celizic
TODAYShow.com contributor
updated 9:27 a.m. ET, Mon., July. 21, 2008
Casey Anthony knows who has her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but may have lied to investigators to protect the little girl, her mother and attorney said Monday.
“I know Casey knows who has her,” Casey Anthony’s mother, Cindy Anthony, told TODAY’s Ann Curry from the family’s home in Orlando, Fla. “I know Casey doesn’t know where they are right at the moment.”
Cindy Anthony said she might know more if investigators would allow her to speak with her daughter for more than a few moments. She has had one phone call with her since Casey was arrested last week for lying to investigators. She also said that a visit with Casey was cut short by police.
“I think my daughter loves Caylee so much that she will do whatever it takes to protect her,” Cindy Anthony said. “In her own way, she has those reasons inside her why she’s protecting her, and we don’t understand those right now.”
Casey Anthony told her parents last week that Caylee had been missing since June 9, but she didn’t tell anyone for five weeks. Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, called police to report the girl missing, and authorities arrested Casey Anthony when they determined that she had lied to them about the disappearance of her daughter.
The grandparents have started a Web site and distributed fliers to help find Caylee, but Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, indicated that the jailed mother knows where her daughter is — or at least who has her.
Why won’t she talk?
Curry asked Baez why his client is unwilling to share the information she has with authorities.
“I know the reason why,” Baez told Curry. “Unfortunately, I can’t disclose that at this time. Based on my conversations with her, I can understand what she’s going through and basically the reason why she did what she did. There is an explanation for all of this. Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to say at the time.”
“Do you fear for her safety?” Curry asked Baez, referring to Caylee.
“Obviously when she’s away from where she’s supposed to be, we all fear for her safety,” Baez said. “She needs to be back home with her family, with the people who love her, and that’s really our ultimate goal here — to have her home and to be with the people who love her.”

Caylee’s grandmother Cindy Anthony told local media that Casey told her that she received a phone call from Caylee, but that the line went dead when the mother asked to speak to an adult. In her TODAY appearance, Cindy said her daughter had also made that statement to others. She added that her own mother told her on July 5 that she thought she heard Caylee’s voice in the background during a phone conversation with Casey Anthony.
It is unclear who the girl’s father is, according to media reports in Orlando. Casey Anthony has reportedly told authorities that she was employed at a local theme park, but in reality she had been fired from the park two weeks ago. She also reportedly said that the child’s father is dead. She also said she had left the child with a baby sitter who then disappeared — but the address she gave for the baby sitter turned out to be an unoccupied apartment.
‘I forgive her’
Last Thursday and Friday, investigators with shovels and cadaver-sniffing dogs dug up Casey Anthony’s backyard, but found no sign of Caylee.
Cindy Anthony said that Orange County authorities acted too quickly in arresting and jailing her daughter without bond last week and said it was a mistake to keep the single mother in jail.
“I think that was a huge mistake by arresting her that quickly, because she was not able to reach out to her friends and her family to maybe shed some light on the reasons,” the distraught mother said.
A former nurse, Cindy Anthony said that she and her husband George, a former deputy sheriff, saw no signs of drug abuse in their daughter. She said she’d told Casey Anthony that she loves her and supports her.
“I forgive her,” Cindy Anthony said. “I have not said that to her.”
“Forgive her for what?” Curry asked.
“For not telling me sooner, for not telling the police sooner,” Cindy Anthony answered. “Someone can’t come to grips until they’re forgiven. She’s probably not going to be able to tell me everything until I can forgive her.”

Casey Anthony knows who has her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but may have lied to investigators to protect the little girl, her mother and attorney said Monday.
“I know Casey knows who has her,” Casey Anthony’s mother, Cindy Anthony, told TODAY’s Ann Curry from the family’s home in Orlando, Fla. “I know Casey doesn’t know where they are right at the moment.”
Cindy Anthony said she might know more if investigators would allow her to speak with her daughter for more than a few moments. She has had one phone call with her since Casey was arrested last week for lying to investigators. She also said that a visit with Casey was cut short by police.
“I think my daughter loves Caylee so much that she will do whatever it takes to protect her,” Cindy Anthony said. “In her own way, she has those reasons inside her why she’s protecting her, and we don’t understand those right now.”
Casey Anthony told her parents last week that Caylee had been missing since June 9, but she didn’t tell anyone for five weeks. Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, called police to report the girl missing, and authorities arrested Casey Anthony when they determined that she had lied to them about the disappearance of her daughter.
The grandparents have started a Web site and distributed fliers to help find Caylee, but Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, indicated that the jailed mother knows where her daughter is — or at least who has her.
Why won’t she talk?
Curry asked Baez why his client is unwilling to share the information she has with authorities.
“I know the reason why,” Baez told Curry. “Unfortunately, I can’t disclose that at this time. Based on my conversations with her, I can understand what she’s going through and basically the reason why she did what she did. There is an explanation for all of this. Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to say at the time.”
“Do you fear for her safety?” Curry asked Baez, referring to Caylee.
“Obviously when she’s away from where she’s supposed to be, we all fear for her safety,” Baez said. “She needs to be back home with her family, with the people who love her, and that’s really our ultimate goal here — to have her home and to be with the people who love her.”

Caylee’s grandmother Cindy Anthony told local media that Casey told her that she received a phone call from Caylee, but that the line went dead when the mother asked to speak to an adult. In her TODAY appearance, Cindy said her daughter had also made that statement to others. She added that her own mother told her on July 5 that she thought she heard Caylee’s voice in the background during a phone conversation with Casey Anthony.
It is unclear who the girl’s father is, according to media reports in Orlando. Casey Anthony has reportedly told authorities that she was employed at a local theme park, but in reality she had been fired from the park two weeks ago. She also reportedly said that the child’s father is dead. She also said she had left the child with a baby sitter who then disappeared — but the address she gave for the baby sitter turned out to be an unoccupied apartment.

Where Is Caylee?
Something is very, very wrong here regarding the disappearance of Caylee. When I first heard this story last week, I found it odd right from the start.
As it stands, Casey, the mother of Caylee is in jail for "obstruction of Justice". This all came about because Casey took the police on this wild ride to places where she claims Caylee went and even to Universal Studios, of which, she hasn't worked there in years.
On Nancy Grace the other night, Nancy interviewed the grandmother and Nancy clearly asked if Casey heard from Caylee. The grandmother said NO but now the grandmother comes out and says that she witnessed a phone call from Caylee to Casey but when she went to speak to Caylee the phone went dead. This was suppose tohave taken place on July 15th.
Now, reports are out that Casey car, of which, the grandparents own, was found abandon in a parking lot and was towed on June 30th. Although reports say that Casey said the "car ran out of gas", why didn't Casey call her mother to bring some gas? Does the car actually have gas in it?
How the heck did Casey get to her mother's house on July 15th when the grandmother witnessed the phone call between Casey and Caylee without the car and why didn't her mother ask "where is my car?"
Caylee was reported missing by the grandmother on July 15th supposingly after this "phone call".
The grandmother claims Casey left with Caylee on June 9th in order to bond with Caylee! OK, so where did Casey go and live especially since she was living with her mother? This makes no sense to me at all!
The child seat was left in the car which to me is a big clue because the child has to be transported in a car seat!
The mother says on national TV that she "forgives her daughter". Hummmmm!
The more Nancy Grace asked about Casey as well as when Greta "On The REcord" asked about Casey the more Cindy spoke about Caylee. In the case with Greta's interview, the Grandmother spoke more about herself. See video below! {Odd that the video is no longer on Greta's blog!)
Cindy says on Nancy Grace that Casey knew this person who babysits for Caylee for 3 or 4 years and wouldn't reveal her name. But on Greta's show, the grandmother said for a year or year and a half.
Secrets, secrets, secrets. There are secrets here between the mother and daughter. The grandmother knows what happended and I think she is covering for her daughter. Something happened on June 9th and more than likely people are wondering where Caylee is ...........
The first thing I thought of when I saw the grandmother's first interview was "Susan Smith" ... all this emotion and no tears!
Based on the video below, it is clear something is just not right! I feel this grandmother is liking all this attention ....
This woman, Cindy, needs to stay the heck home in Florida rather than flying all around giving interviews. The media WILL come to her house and do the interview. If this was me, I would insist on being home so I could stay by the phone or search the state of Florida for my granddaughter.
Why fly all over, and not be available to go to the jail, when given the opportunity to sit down with her daughter.
Cindy's interview was not about Caylee, but on herself, and gave very little to help anyone look for the child. Cindy should have mentioned that Casey has or had a boyfriend, not that the boyfriend is the cause of the disapperance of the child. I just can't remember what Cindy said about the boyfriend either not ever seeing the child or didn't know about the child, but something was said ... just can't remember. I know this boyfriend was interviewed by someone, probably the police.
It sounds like Casey is a liar and maybe suffering from some sort of mental disorder, whether it be from when Caylee's father was killed in a car accident, or some sort of depression making her disconnect from reality, but clearly something is wrong.
All I heard was lack of sleep, not eating, I am going to fall down right on the stage, the "limo" ride exhaustion and on and on about Cindy. Now the timeline of when Cindy last seen Casey is off!
I have a feeling this child is not alive anymore and eventually it will all surface. This all happened around June 9th, should this be the truth of the day Casey left with Caylee to bond.

Nancy Cooper
I feel that something happened to Nancy in her home after she left the house party late Friday evening.
I feel there was a heated argument once they returned home and he killed her and then put her in her jogging clothes in order to prepare a statement "she went jogging at 7:00 AM". It might have even been premeditated. Once the media releases what she was wearing will determine in part what happened.
I don't feel that Nancy's normal routine of jogging would last more than an hour as she has two little children to care for ESPECIALLY since she was dealing with marital issues at home and may fear her husband would take the children away while she was out jogging.
I feel it was the right thing for the grandparents and sister to ask for custody of the children. The couple are not Americans and based on this murder investigation, should he get arrested, the main concern would be the children.
It's better they go with the grandparents in Canada then to get caught up in Children's Services in America. The children do not have a relative in the United States because both parents are Canadian . The children were born in America as far I as understand..
The father of the children could have protested the petition in court but the way it sounds he didn't nor did he report his wife missing, look for her, or even go to the press conference.
People ask where were her parents all this time? Well, they live in Canada, a great distance from North Carolina and have a family business.
Since the young children already have passports at the age of 2 and 4, chances are the family traveled to Canada on occasion to visit family.
I am curious to know who watched the children while they were at the house party on Friday evening. The babysitter would possible know of the demeanor of both of them when they returned home from the party. The babysitter would also be able to tell the police what Nancy wore that evening to the party as well as the people at the party. The people at the party would also be able to notice if there was friction between them at the party.
When a rumor gets leaked out about him buying bleach at a variety store at 4:00 AM sound very plausible. Something could have taken place in the garage, if they have one, but clearly something happened in that household. If she was dead and he left the house in the middle of the night, these little babies were left all alone.
It sickens me if this is the way it happened and thank goodness the children didn't wake up looking for their mother.
Friends set up a blogspot regarding Nancy and updates.

Florida and Michigan
The people in Florida and Michigan NEED to be heard. It is not the people’s fault that their votes do not count. We need to get this resolved and resolved quickly.
We the people, For the people, By the people ….. let OUR votes count.
In Florida, where I live, I personally feel that the people who voted, should be as is and let the delegates be assigned based on the outcome of the voters.
In Michigan, they can do a mini election with just Obama’s name on the ballot, since Obama’s name was eliminated. I think Obama took his name off but don’t hold me to this statement.
Neither state should do a complete “do-over” as it would not be fair based on the recent events regarding Obama.
Michigan and Florida are hungry to get this mess settled. We want to be heard and we want our votes to count and be a part of the United States of America. Right now both states feel like alien countries.
If I had the capability and money, I would start a protest in all the states within the USA asking them not to attend the Democractic National Convention until FLorida and Michigan is resolved.
The people in the USA, need to unite and support the two states left “high and dry.” Talk about uniting this country … We the people, can do it, For the people, By the people.

Will My Vote Actually Count?
I am so confused over this entire election process that right now living in Florida I am not even sure if my vote in November will even matter. Now that I write that statement, it is obvious based on the last two elections my vote didn't matter.
The only way for the entire election process to work is to drop the delegates from the system and let the popular vote count. So many other countries have a simple process of voting and that is by the people and their votes count.
I don't like the fact that delegates and super delegates are chosen to represent ME, and my thought process. I want to represent myself and let my "one stroke of the handle" on the voting machine to mean something.
I am totally "uneducated" with what happened in Michigan and Florida, who agreed to it, why it was allowed and so on. I just don't understand how two states within the United States of America are completely powerless.
During the 2000 Presidential election, after voting, I went to Sweden to visit some friends. The people in Sweden were following the happenings here in the USA and there were in totally amazement of what was happening with regards to the votes, ballots, courts and so on. I was actually embarrassed when they would ask me "why is this happening?" I couldn't even answer them because I was shocked myself. They told me about their voting system, so simple, and straight-forward.
If "he" gets in, I am really afraid we will be in turmoil in so many ways. You can't run this country like a "revival" meeting with speeches, hip and a hop, and mumbled words. It's just not going to work!
I remember when I went to a good "ole" down to earth Baptist Church and felt the energy, and stamina from the people "praising, shouting and singing". It is an energy I never felt before. I actually enjoyed it while I was there, and a few days after. But then life set back in and the energy was gone unless I decided to go back for another "uplift".
This is how I feel about "him", it's a great energy, lots of chanting and stamina, until the day ends and life and problems are still facing you.

Take The Race And Gender Out!
I have taken out the gender and race from all the Democratic candidates and made them all the “traditional” white males that have been President of the United States since 1789 when George Washington became the first President of the United States.
If you keep in the gender and race then it becomes a “circus” because all you are hearing in the first black male candidate and first woman candidate. Although you never hear first “white” woman candidate.
Once the gender and race is removed, then you have to see both candidates as white men saying what they both are saying and who is the best candidate for the next President of the United States of America.
Then we have to add in where we stand in our country right at the moment with the crisis of what has happened over the nearly 8 years. The key is 8 years of a mess, which is much harder to clean up then if it was 4 years of a mess.
I have to go back to the Nixon years, and Vietnam, Watergate, and the major mess of what happened during 1969 to 1974. Most of the voters in 2008 don’t even recall what happened back then and the years it took to uncover all the wrong-doing during this administration.
In essence, the Bush Administration has repeated itself in a similar format what was going on during the Nixon Administration. Both have wars under their belts, both have cover-ups, etc., etc.
Now I go back to the two candidates: Obama and Clinton, in my eyes two “white” males. I look at their experiences and what they have accomplished.
In my eyes, out pops Clinton although not officially a Governor or a Former President but one that has been surrounded by what it was like to be Governor of a State and actual first-hand knowledge of life as a President, dealing with heads of states etc., plus all that was accomplished throughout 35 years.
When you separate gender and race, you get a clearer picture of the person and look at what would be best for our country.
Once the race and gender is put back into the scenerio, you will see things in a much different format.
If one candidate is elected. the general public needs to understand there will be no more “revival speeches” sending chills up and down people’s spines.
The next President will be without the crowds of people and will be sitting in the White House running the country by their choice. We won’t know if what they promised will be carried forward.
This is why it is important to go with experience to get this world out of China, out of debt, out of War, and follow through with healthcare, immigration, and all issues at hand that have not been completed in the last 8 years.
I feel Clinton will be the one to hold the Bush Administration accountable for the last 8 years, plus bring forward all the promises pledged to this country regarding all the issues at hand.
