Casey Anthony's Jailhouse Call With Brother

July 29, 2008

The Orange County Jail has released a call that Casey Anthony made to her brother on July 26. During the conversation, Casey said that she believes that Caylee is OK.

Listen to the Conversation

"That's still my best feeling at the moment," Casey said. "If that changes, then obviously I'm going to reach out and say something immediately, but I know mom will understand this more than anyone that there's that bond type of bond that you have with your kid and it's unexplainable."

Seems like the "facts" from the family keep changing. One big question is where or if she worked. Now photos showing her at a nightclub apparently having a good time. New attorney says this photo (taken June 20th ?) was before the originally reported "kidnapping" on June 9th. Does anyone have a handle on where Casey was working? Maybe involved in prostitution or drugs (?) and maybe owed a lot of money and the child was taken as "collateral" or maybe the child was sold to pay debts.

[emma]

also, friends of casey's said that during the period caylee was missing but only casey knew about it, she didn't seem concerned or unhappy at all and in fact was partying, cooking dinner for her boyfriend, drinking, going to clubs...it seems she was sick of being a mom, seeing her daughter that she hadn't planned on having and was more expensive then she expected to take care of always doted on, and wanted to live the life of a 22 year old or make up for the years she'd lost in her late teens and either chose to dispose of her or accidentally killed her and then covered up for it. she wanted to be with her boyfriend, have sex, party, and not have to be responsible for a 3 year old any more. and she didn't want to have her mother have to raise her and be the absentee mother, so she either killed her on purpose or by accident and then hoped her bullsh*t story about abduction would work, but she underestimated the police and the judicial system which isn't so gullible or stupid. she also had no problem stealing money from friends or her mother in the 1000's to live it up which she's never paid back a nickel of. a narcissistic nutbag.

[vikki]

I think Caseys mom needs to wake up, and realize that
her daughter is the one responsible for whatever terriable thing thats happened to Caylee. Its like the whole family took a gullible pill. Casey has made up this crazy story about her family being in "Danger", if she tells "everything".
These people are acting like Casey is being watched by someone like Pablo Escobar or some "Mob" person. I cant believe her family is actually falling for this bullsh**.
Poor Caylee never stood a chance with these idots!

[Angie]

Today when the pictures were released of Casey partying on June 20, says it all. That poor little girl is not alive. No good parent would be out partying, living it up, IF Caylee was kidnapped. How could a parent leave their home, waiting, for just in case Caylee came home. How could a person act in this manner. The grandparents, the grandmother has been all over the news, she made a total fool of herself on the interview with Greta on Fox News. If grandmother was soooooo tired she should have been home resting, she was demanding to take control over that interview, on what SHE wanted to talk about. The grandmother made such a fool of herself, she is as nuts as her own daughter.

Grandmother's own web posting on Cindy’s MySpace message (since deleted) left on July 4th:

Subject: My Caylee is missing
Current mood: 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,=2 0clothed, 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?”
According to reports, on July 4, Casey Anthony is said to have spent the entire day partying with friends, but where was Caylee?

Then on July 7, Casey Anthony is alleged to have left this message on her MySpace account (message has since been deleted):

The message, titled “Diary of Days,” read:

“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.

I found this "myspace" issue at: http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ID=gsHWSwHQY0Z&ZURL=/Casey+Anthony/news&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fglosslip.com%2F2008%2F07%2F30%2Fthe-caylee-anthony-case-whats-missing-here-is-the-truth%2F

there is a web site online that keeps an archive of every single web page created . . . . I just cannot recall the name of the site at this time of writing.

Casey does not deserve to get out of jail, I am praying that her parents do not come up with the bail money, if the parents had any brains, they would let her sit in jail. Casey shouldn't be allowed to have visitors or make phone calls, let her sit in her tiny cold cell, with no exposure to the outside world and maybe then the real "truth" will come to her. Now since she knows her jail phone conversations are being released to the public, she told her brother she will send letters, with some type of hidden messages.....God Almighty!

[Paul Murphy]

What does Caylee's father have to say reagrding this matter?Who is he?Where is he?

[LoriFromMS]

Angie: She says the father is dead.

This is just CRAZY !!!!!!!!! This is going to turn out to be a "Susan Smith" case. She has LIED about everything. She said she worked at Universal Studios and they said she has never worked for them. She took them to the babsitter's house and the owner said it has been vacant since Feb 08. She says Caylee went missing on June 9th...yet then remembers Caylee being at her mom's on Father's Day. This girl wouldn't know the truth if it slapped her in the face. She just needs to STOP this mess and give up where the child is. If Caylee is dead, she deserves a respectful burial.

[Travis]

I've never seen a case where nothing is certain. Every thing Casey says seems to be a lie and can't be confirmed by anybody. She can't tell the truth about anything that's why the police aren't looking for Caylee b/c the person w/h the most knowledge of what happened doesn't know how to tell the truth about anything. The whole baby sitter thing is crazy, conducting her own invesigation is ridiculous, and those pics of her at the club while her child is missing is inexusable. Her lawyer's excuses for the lies are disingenious and I don't see how he can defend someone that obvioulsy has no intentions of getting out and finding her daughter. This woman lives in a fantasy world with make believe jobs and babysitters and the most shocking thing is how she acts and talks on the phone as if she could care less. This Casey is one of a kind, I hope the truth comes out soon and most of all I hope Caylee is found alive.

EXCELLENT POST, You saved me some typing time.

Grandmother is nuts, mother is nuts, the poor girl is dead and her mother did it. It's pretty obvious

Grandmother will defend her daughter till the end though I bet, and deny she killed her. The grandmother is in total denial and she's a nut case and the mom is a whacked out narcisits(spelling?) who is a pathalogical liar and a killer in my opinion. Her actions tell me she is as guilty as they come but is only worried about herself.

[Angie]

There seems to be a large amount of circumstancial evidence to put her on trial, they can only hold her for a certain amount of time, like 30 days or so, otherwise she could possibly be released. I hope next week, when the DNA results come out, then things will come to a head and she will have murder charges against her. Not one sketch of the so called "babysitter" has been released to the public, obviously she "forgot" what the babysitter looked like. I'm sorry to be so sarcastic about this case, and never before this case, have I wrote my thoughts on blogs, but this is so outrageous to me and I am so tired of all these nutbags in the world we live in. I have not one ounce of sympathy for that so called "mother". She has had plenty of time to come clean, she has chosen to "dumby up".

[ann]

i am a mother of two grown daughter and 7 grandchildren ages 4 to 14. if one of them went missing and one of my daughters was not cooperting i would be at that jail trying to do whatever i could to get the info from them. these people are in complete denial. i hate to say it but i feel this beautiful baby in not with us any longer. obviously this lying has been a long time affair with this person who is really only an egg doner for this precious child. seems the grandmother did most of the day to day parenting and provider. why didn't casey just give the baby to her mom where she knew she would be taken care of. i don't believe a word she says and now am wondering what planet the grandparents are on. i know they don't want to think about the obviously but come on wake up and stop treating this negletful mother with kid gloves. she doesn't deserve to be treated with anything but destain. she is arogant. turn her over to the general population in jail and it won't be long before she will spill the beans. most mom's in jail miss their children terribly and don't cotton to someone like casey. God be with the family and i hope they get some common since soon.

[Suhailey]

Like most of us who have been keeping up with this case, I Find my self in total disbelief of everything coming out of Caseys mouth. In my eyes and with the little knowledge I have in the Criminal Justice field I have to say I see nothing but a guilty killer in Casey, and her irradict behavoir.All the signs are there she has lied to investigators, she stoled credit cards from her mom to go on a shopping spree(stress releaver), borrowed a shovel from the neighbor, stoled gas, Possibly posed as the alleged baby sitter. Okay maybe not in this order but defenitly these events are clear evidence of her behavior. And how about the smell coming from Caseys vehicle and how about the cadaver dogs hiting on a sent in the trunk??, or Caylees hair being found in the trunk along with dirt??? All the clues are there its just a matter of waiting on the DNA exams to come back to hopefully put and end to Caseys wicked game. As for the beutiful little girl Caylee my thoughts and prayers may god bless you. Justice will be served

[teresa]

CSI team back to the anthony crazy house. well now guess what. cindy found a pair of grey pinstripe pants in the car that smelled like a dead body in that d+++ car and WASHED THEM. you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off and doing interviews constantly barely have time to wipe your behind when you go to the bathroom. and you have time to wash the pants that smell like a dead body and wash and dry and put them in casey's room? why didn't you contact the police detectives and tell them about the pants you idiot. you are a RN and you know what a dead body smells like. this case is really starting to kick into overdrive. i think when casey comes to court for her court date she needs to wear a bullet proof vest to protect her because we have to keep her alive so she can tell the police where caylee is. then when we find her and bring her home, it makes me sick that possibly cindy and george would be in charge of her funeral. now believe me i want this child to be ALIVE, i have her picture on my wallpaper and i have prayed for her everyday. that poor lady zenaida gonzalez. can't she file a lawsuit against her for identity theft? as soon as they prove that casey filled out the apt. card can she file a police report for identity theft? bye bye forensic evidence! i would like to know the name of the pizza company where that pizza came from because if this "pizza" was that bad who would want to take a chance to eat it? i'm being sarcastic. God Bless Caylee Maree Anthony.

[shannon]

god, this poor baby is most likely dead. i just read what the grandmother wrote on her my-space. now i think i understand what happened. at first i thought, and i still think, that because of some sort of neglect on casey's part, that the child died. but i couldn't understand her demeanor and attitude toward her mom, police or even court. i felt she was so detached, completely odd. and I'm a single parent of a 2y/o son. and IT IS SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN HARD!!!!
why wouldn't she just leave her kid with grandma and go have a minute of life? i know i would if i had my mom alive! so, that's what i found weird about casey's indifference.
so that made me think, well, maybe caylee is alive and the mother is lying about where she's at for some weird reason and she'll tell them eventually.
But now, after reading cindy's myspace page it's starting to seem like casey is probably envious of her mother's relationship w/ caylee. i think cacey is really self-centered and possibly resented how much her mom loved and adored caylee, and that may be why she didn't tell her own mother something happened to caylee.this is horrific and i just want to beat that woman into telling police where her daughter is!!

[Sharon]

Casey, Casey, Casey, You are lucky your nose does not grow everytime you tell a lie. I sure wish Gma and Gpa get a little smarter.It is so sad to see them sucked in by this woman. I probably think they always have been like this. Why oh why did she not give this cute little girl to her parents. This does not make sense to me. I do believe the little girl is no longer with us. I have not heard of a case quite like this. She leads investigators to her work. She says to the cops I do not remember quite where the house is.Wow this girl is nuts...

[pk]

The Mother/grandmother...raised a spoiled brat (Casey)...washed her pants knowing they smelled like the trunk (dead body)...allowed her to live the life she lived with a baby!

Shame on the family ....what is this world coming to. Spoiled girls doing the girl on girl wild on...living life like they have no responsibility!

"Complete Text Of Casey Anthony's Jailhouse Phone Call - Orlando News Story - WKMG Orlando"

The link:
http://www.local6.com/news/16993169/detail.html?taf=orlpn

Use these notes to compare to the transcript. If you use these clues,
it paints a perfect picture of where Caylee (bless her heart), is/was put.

Just brainstorming...
As much as I hate it, this does make sense. #1 phone call - Casey to Anthony home. New York database, NC database, VA database and other places she's lived outside of FL.
=
Dumpsters in and around this area. Casey is trying to help LE and they won't let her
=
Trying to help Anthony's find the right dumpster and they won't hush and listen.
Waste, waste, waste, etc.
=
garbage
Casey says she doesn't know where Caylee is that's true
=
Dumpters were dumped ages ago, she has no idea where.
The cameo...Cindy says "which one", did four different ones and haven't seen them all, only seen one or two.
=
Which dumpster?
Casey saying you don't know what my involvement is? Cindy: no i don't, you are not telling me where she is
=
Again, which dumpster.
All they care about is getting Caylee back, all I care about too.
=
Finding Caylee's body and covering her butt.
Kristina: I'll die, you understand, I'll die.
=
I would die for you, you can trust me.
Reason for timing of Cindy calling when she did.
=
She knew she had better do something, cause things were fixing to be known.
How come everyone is saying that you are not upset and that you are not crying?
=
People are noticing that you are too calm, show some emotion.
That girl was the last person to have her, transfer her?
=
That guy.
Tony, Tony, Tony
=
She wants them to know that Tony helped her.
I have tons more, but I'm sure you get what I'm saying. Cover up going on, big time.
I think the dumpsters are the key.

How can Casey be so cool and calm? Her daughter is missing, possibly dead and she's in jail and yet she never says "I hope Caylee is ok" or "I miss my baby" or "I can't believe I'm in jail and I don't know when I'll get out." I think if I just got thrown in jail and was being questioned by the police, I'd be a bit of a wreck and not nearly as calm and collected as Casey. This reminds me of Scott Peterson who could not find it within himself to say he loved his wife and hoped she would come home. He couldn't because he knew she wasn't and I think the same is true with Casey.

This $@&* is retarded! She lies about everything! She needs to tell where the body is so her child can be put to rest and have a proper funeral! Casey killed her child there is no doubt in my mind if my 2yr son went missing it would take me one second to report it not a month I mean what the hell is this woman thinking God it just ticks me off so bad! I hope Caylee is found alive and well dont get me wrong but her mom is crazy and I doubt the poor little girl is still alive.

[Carol Morgan]

Does anyone hear the difference in her tone after she starts answering questions about her daughter, rather than just her own comments and the talk shows etc?

She slows down and speaks in a more formal pitch, it seems to me.

Also she is more formal. She talked before about the talk shows and watching them because she 'needed a good laugh' but later she doesn't show any emotion.

Um, 'at the moment there's nothing specific.' Studied and stiff.

COOOOL Blog!

[jess]

Ok this is what i think first of all the father is not dead i think she dose not know who the father is and she once told her family she did but then they probaly wanted to get him for child suport so then she said he passed away i think this beause on her party pic. she looked like a sleep around girl now all them guys that she sleped with 3 years ago around the time she got pregnet should come foward thats what i think and for the baby girl i think the worst beause im a mother and i will go crazy and find my daughter she has no love for her and it also took 1 month to report the baby girl missing so if she did take her life she got rid of all the evidence and every time she thought of something new she got rid of it thats why its so hard to find evidence i gess she couldent f*ck her boyfirend in peace with out eny kid crying and needing her

[DALE]

To Cindy & George, I wish the very best for all of u.I can
understand what u are giong through.I hope for the very best for u all.I know that your son Lee, has been helping u all.God wii help u all.

[laura]

i think that casey anthony is probraly telling the truth about what happened to her daughter. But i still dont get why she isn't crying or hopeing that she's ok. witch gives me the idea that maybe she knows were she is and knows she's ok but isn't telling because she's portecting her in some way that could save her life or knows that she's ok because she posibaly could of had a friend or some 1 close to her take her some were that maybe know 1 could find her and then maybe when the award money for finding her got high enough for them they would ack as if they found her some were and collecty the prize to split with casey anthony. but thats just a thought. im just pray that that child is alive.

[c]

She is going to ROTT anyway for what she did, she might as well tell what happened and get it over with. Her life on the outside will be short, get used to jail honey, that should be her new home.

She knows exactly what happened to her child; MOTHERS KNOW and it wasnt a kidnaping, she hurt that poor child and her family is helping her. SAD SAD SAD...

Dont have freaking kids if you cant take care of yourself

[Nancy Weber]

This case is frighteningly similar to Laci Peterson. A spouse and prospective parent is stoic, has a girlfriend, stays silent with regard to bodies. Still will not speak even though looking at death. The families are shreaded. His family still supportive despite evidence. Another "sociopath". It is only in the Caley case we have no "Amber" to tell the truth and come forward. So tradgic. Even the Greeks did not come up with this sorrow.

[Jennie]

This girl is mentally ill.. she is sick in the head. i hope she get what she deserve. If I live near her parents house I'll be there everyday asking where is caylee. aren't they scared sleeping at night time knowing what they did wrong? how stupid can people be. she knows where caylee is or what happen to her but she's playin stupid lying about everything. this is one dumb girl. makes me so angry and her stupid parents!

[JESSICA BAILEY]

ITS SO UNFAIR TO SOCIETY TO ALLOW THIS WOMAN TO WALK FREELY, WHEN IT IS CLEARLY OBVIOUS THAT SHE KILLED HER DAUGHTER OR KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. IF IT WAS ANYONE ELSE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED TRIED AND CONVICTED ALREADY!! CASEY IS ENJOYING THE ATTENTION, THATS WHY SHE LIES SHE ENJOYS IT. SHE IS A MURDER!! I MEAN WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD SHE HAVE TO LIE WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING HER DAUGHTER. BODY OR NOT THERE IS NOT A JURY THAT WILL NOT FIND HER GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THIS DAY. HER TIME NEEDS TO BE OVER!!!!!

[john]

who is Zanny Otiz ?

[Lesha]

Ok...So Im kinda confused in the case cause iv heard sooo many diff storys but heres what i have to say....She probably was drugging her child and keeping her in the trunk, yea well it must have went to far and turned into an accident but seriously with that kind of accident why would she want to tell people that...Thats a big oooppps accident, well she did take 2 gas cans from her fathers shed or where ever sadly i really hate to say this but She probably went and burnd caylee :( (Im hopeing not) but then you look at her cell records idk if im looking at them wrong or what but it looks like she made a big loop stopping by water each time. If you know what i mean with that. If by any chance this is one big joke for money this has gone way way 2 far and im pretty sure they would look into that and be punished pretty big for that also. I have nothing more to say... Caylee marie anthony You have touched many hearts sooo fast and may you be set free where ever you shall be. <3

[Bekki]

From reading what her friends have testified to and her mother, with all the lies and stealing, which I must say is how an addict usually acts to feed their addiction, they do not care who they hurt to get it, but i think her drug was her selfishness, if that is possible. She does not look like a drug fiend, which is the behavior she is betraying. I don't think not anything she ever said was a truth, even if someone asked her what she ate for dinner, she would lie, this is her sickness, it made her feel better to lie, it gave her a "high". I truly think she did do this to Caylee, but because of her being so selfish, she did not want anyone else to have her. She never provided for that child, that is in the testimony by her brother, not ever one cent did Casey provide for her, so she knew she could not provide or take care of Caylee ever on her own, and apparently she wanted out of her parents house, so she could do what she wanted, but damn if anyone else would have Caylee either. No way. And then she would defintely be a bad mother, that is not a "high" for someone to feel (if she left Caylee to live with her parents and not take her with her)I also think, and this is unfortunately "our" fault, we have made her "famous" and as long as she keeps on lying, sticking with this whacked out story (what 22 year old refers to a babysitter as "the nanny"? give me a break, that would have tipped me off right there she was a whack job) she will continue to be famous, which feeds her selfishness addiction. If she told the truth, tied up all the loose ends, that is the end of the story, and the end of her 15 minutes of fame, even if she is behind bars, she knows what is going on, she is on TV every freakin day, she sees this. She established the fact that she did not have a consience when she stole from her mom or her friends, or every word out of her mouth which were lies, so of course she would not have one after murdering her own child.

[sylvia pool]

When casey speaks to lee in the jailhouse and lee tell her about what going on and asking her question she answer them like "o yeah I know that" like some one is asking her about do you like my outfit or something, but we are talking about a little girl that is gone then casey her voice gets deep and cracking kinda like Scott Peterson when he kept saying he was doing all he can to find Lacy. LIES LIES LIES.
