Casey Anthony Gag Motion Denied:

The request to have Casey Anthony’s phone calls and prison visits not to be made public has been denied by Judge Stan Strickland of the Ninth Circuit Court. Judge Strickland argued that he’d rather “err on the side on the First Amendment.”

Another part of the article that interested me was that Orange County Sheriff’s Office Attorney Eric Dunlap said that the Sheriff has the power to decide what information is to be made public. The fact that the phone calls have been made public leads me to believe that they have no bearing on the ongoing investigation.

Lee Anthony’s Jailhouse Call With Casey:

That link goes to a transcript of a jailhouse phone call between Casey Anthony and her brother Lee.

The part I want to focus on is near the end where they start talking about the alleged phone call Casey received when she claims she last spoke to Caylee. I would imagine that police have already poured through her phone records looking for the one-armed man, I mean the mysterious baby sitter.

Have you noticed that for the most part, the police have been tight-lipped about their investigation? The Anthony’s might want to take a cue from them.

Speaking of which…

Attorney seeks to stop release of calls in Caylee Anthony case:

Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, is trying to stop the releases of any future phone calls or videos of Casey’s visitors.

“The release of any visitation video-conferencing could impede the investigation, chill the public’s willingness to report any leads, and compromise the integrity of the defendant’s right to a fair trial,” Baez wrote in the one-page motion.

I actually don’t disagree with Mr. Baez in the off-chance that Casey Anthony is telling the truth. However, I think he needs to get with his client’s mother as well to get her to keep her trap shut. I think that Cindy Anthony is her daughter’s biggest handicap.

The latest news in the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony is, of course, the prison phone call that Casey Anthony made to her family.

Local6 has the complete transcript. The Orlando Sentinel has the complete recording. (Look for the link at the top next to “Listen to Casey Anthony’s call from jail”)

As usual, my attention focuses on Grandma Cindy Anthony with this quote from the phone call…

“Whose fault is it you’re sitting in jail?” Cindy Anthony said. “Are you blaming me you are sitting in the jail? Blame yourself for telling lies. What do you mean it is not your fault? What do you mean it’s not your fault, sweetheart? If you would have told them the truth and not lied about everything…”

Again I have to question just how much Grandma Anthony knew beforehand.

Another big part of the saga is that Casey’s family visited her in jail yesterday. Casey’s brother, Lee Anthony, spoke to the press and it seems that he’s helping Grandma circle the wagons.

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.

“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.”

It will be interesting to see if those employment records pan out. As far as the baby sitter goes I was under the impression that she had already been found by police and interviewed…

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

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

A lie never becomes the truth no matter how many times you tell it or how many people tell it.

The bizarro soap opera of the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony continues…

Attorney Battles To Lower Casey Anthony’s Bond:

According to attorney Jose Baez, the Anthony family is unable to raise the $50K needed to bond Casey Anthony out of jail. Maybe we should pass the hat around.

Baez filed a writ of habeas corpus with the Orange County court on Thursday. He is asking that Casey Anthony be released from prison, without bond, in order to aid in the search and investigation for Caylee.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight. I’m sure she’ll just return on her own and not flee if asked to return to jail. I mean she’s been so cooperative so far. 🙄

Casey Anthony’s Lawyer Vs. Nancy Grace:

Speaking of Senor Baez he was on the Nancy Grace show last night. Not the smartest move. Remember how that worked out for Melinda Duckett. Not to mention that I think Nancy Grace is some weird alien creature that eats souls. Anyway, it went a little something like this. Hit it…

Nancy Grace: Why didn’t your client report her missing immediately?

Jose Baez: Well, her reasons and explanations for those are confidential, and I can’t reveal them at this time.

Grace: You know that doesn’t make any sense.

Baez: Well, you know, I’m sorry it doesn’t make any sense to you, but you don’t know what our defense may be.

Grace: Your defense to what?

Baez: Any charges that may arise where she is prosecuted. I have to protect my client, and it’s something I must do and took an oath to do.

Grace: You’re hiding behind the attorney client privilege.

Baez: I’m not hiding behind anything.

Grace: You are.

As much as I loathe Nancy Grace she’s dead on this time.

Grandmother: Caylee Anthony Spotted Twice in Georgia:

Now it wouldn’t be a post about Caylee Marie without some input from Crazy Grandma Anthony.

The site that I linked to above is not a news article but a press release and I can almost guarantee you that it didn’t come from law enforcement.

In it, Grandma Anthony claims that there have been two sightings of Caylee Marie in Georgia.

“Based on two more tips yesterday, two more sighting of Caylee in Georgia as late as two nights ago, makes me very hopeful. It looks like they’re moving more northern into Georgia, towards the mountains,” Cindy tells Meredith Vieira of the Today show.

A woman told police that she saw and talked to Caylee at an Orlando airport three weeks ago. She said the toddler was boarding a flight to Atlanta with an older woman. The woman said she talked to the girl and the girl said her name was Caylee Anthony.

Police used the woman’s description of the older woman to make a sketch, but the Anthony’s lawyer says authorities aren’t doing enough to find Caylee.

Has anyone seen this sketch? Or for that matter have police in Georgia made any comments?

If Grandma Anthony is trying to cover up something it’s the worst cover-up of all time.

Caylee Anthony’s mother begged for another day in 911 call:

More excerpts from the 911 call…

Cindy Anthony: ‘Cause my next thing will be down to child (inaudible) thing and we’ll have a court order to get her. If that’s the way you want to play, we’ll do it and you’ll never. . .

Casey Anthony: That’s not the way I want to play. . .

Cindy Anthony: Well then you have. . .

Casey Anthony: Give me one more day.

Cindy Anthony: No, I’m not giving you another day, I’ve given you a month. . .

So what do you think? Did Cindy Anthony mean because she hadn’t seen Casey in a month or because she knew that Caylee Marie was missing for that long?

Speaking of the 911 call when asked by reporters what she meant about her car smelling like someone died in it Cindy Anthony responded by saying “It could have been a squirrel.” Really? That’s the best you got? A squirrel? Then how did a dead squirrel get out of the car? I haven’t heard any reports of a dead squirrel being found in the car. For that matter has anyone ever found a live squirrel in their car? I’ve lived in some pretty rural areas in my life and never found a squirrel on the inside of my car.

Casey Anthony’s Friends Reveal New Details To Channel 9:

WFTV in Florida interviewed friends of Casey Anthony and asked what she was doing in the five weeks that Caylee Marie was missing.

Casey Anthony’s friends are still freaking out over how she acted as though she hadn’t a care in the world during the time she now says she had no idea where her daughter Caylee was.

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

The article also mentions that she told her boyfriend that she had a job at Universal theme park as an event planner but in reality was busy running up her mother’s credit cards.

Between her obvious lack of honesty and her nonchalant attitude, I fear even more for the well-being of Caylee Marie.

Family of Missing Toddler Caylee Anthony Mum on TV Reports of New Concrete Slab in Yard:

Two new developments in the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony and once again for your reading pleasure we have responses from Grandma Cindy Anthony.

The first development was a tip that was phoned into Florida TV station WFTV which claims that new concrete was poured in Grandma’s back yard over the 4th of July weekend.

“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.”

Personally, I don’t know how credible a tip called into a TV station is but it just drives me insane how defensive Grandma Anthony gets. She hasn’t learned yet to keep her yap shut. Two words for you Cindy ‘No comment.’

At the time of the article, police were not aware of any new tip.

And speaking of new tips.

Grandma Anthony is now claiming that there was another sighting of Caylee Marie. This time she was allegedly sighted in Georgia and is supposedly heading to my neck of the woods of Charlotte, North Carolina.

“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.”

How come these tips are only coming from Grandma? Not to mention the fact that Charlotte is a couple of hours away from the mountains and not on the Georgia border.

‘I Know Who Has Her,’ Mom Tells 911 Operator In Missing Orlando Girl Case:

And now we have the 911 call and of course, Grandma Anthony is all over it. She wanted Casey Anthony arrested for drugs and theft then finally reported that Caylee Marie was missing…

“Your daughter admitted that the baby is where?” the 911 operator asked.

“She said she took her a month ago and my daughter has been looking for her,” Cindy Anthony said. “I told you my daughter has been missing for a month and I just found her today. But I can’t find my granddaughter. She just admitted to me that she’s been trying to find her by herself. There is something wrong. I found my daughter’s car today and it smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.“

That’s a lot different from the “piece of pizza” excuse that she gave before.

I don’t think that Cindy Anthony has anything to do with Caylee Marie’s disappearance but I do think she’s covering for her daughter. If not she’s in the deepest state of denial I’ve ever read about.

Could Caylee Be In Atlanta?:

One of the latest ‘revelations’ in the case of Caylee Marie Anthony is that Casey Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, has claimed that a witness spotted Caylee Marie in the Orlando airport boarding a flight to Atlanta. Grandma Anthony weighs in on it…

The caller claimed to have seen Caylee board the flight with an older woman. When she talked to the woman and child, the youngster apparently said her name was Caylee ‘Antony’, without the”h” the way Anthony says Caylee does. Also, when asked her age, the little girl said three. Caylee is almost three. Cindy Anthony said she is very excited because this woman seems very credible.

Call me jaded but it all seems a little too convenient for me.

Police are downplaying the alleged tip.

Source Of Decomposition Smells In Yard, Car Possibly Moved In Missing Girl Mystery, Detectives Say:

Police are saying that the smell of decomposition that was in Casey Anthony’s car was also in her backyard. Two different cadaver dogs from two different counties both indicated the same spot in the yard. What this means is unknown as of yet.

Grandmother of Missing Caylee Anthony Disputes Decomposition Claims:

Of course, Grandma Anthony had an explanation for the decomposition smell in Casey’s car.

“Do me a favor,” the grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said Wednesday. “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.”

Except I haven’t heard the police saying that they found any refuse in the trunk. Grandma Anthony needs to learn how to keep her trap shut. She’s not doing her daughter any favors.

Grandmother of Missing Florida Toddler Says Her Daughter Left Caylee With Someone Who Betrayed Her:

The latest in the search for Caylee Marie Anthony is that her grandmother, Cindy Anthony, is now saying that she believes Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony, gave Caylee to someone to watch for her then this mystery person betrayed Casey’s trust and took Caylee.

Just yesterday it was she felt that Casey had done something with Caylee. Grandma changes her story more than I change my socks.

What’s next? Alien abduction? Drug Lords? Dingos? I hate to make light of such a horrible situation but Cindy Anthony is making it hard not to.

Casey Anthony Bond Set: $500,000:

This is the most comprehensive article so far about the whole situation. To me, it’s starting to seem that the whole family is due for an extended stay in the cracker factory. Grandma Anthony has some more great quotes in this article.

As you can tell by the headline Casey Anthony’s bond was set at $500K. The last I heard she had not bonded out. However, I want to focus on why policed consider Casey Anthony a ‘person of interest’.

The first thing is when they found Casey Anthony’s abandoned car police say it reeked of ‘decomposition’, there was a stain in the trunk that shined under black light, there was dirt in the trunk, and there was hair in the trunk that they believe is consistent with the hair of Caylee Marie Anthony.

Police focused on the car when they received the tip from the neighbor that I mentioned before about Casey borrowing a shovel. The article elaborates that in mid-June Casey had her car backed up to the garage when she had asked to borrow the shovel.

This is all circumstantial evidence but I’m afraid things are not looking so good right now for Caylee Marie’s return. I really do hope I’m wrong.

Casey Anthony’s Lawyer Trying To Get Her Out Of Jail On Bond:

This article is about Casey Anthony’s lawyer trying to get her released on bond. By the time I post this, she may have already been released. However, there was a quote from the article I found particularly chilling considering the events…

Cynthia Anthony says Casey has always been a writer and recently the family has been going through her journals, hunting for clues. She said a certain amount of jealousy over Caylee crept into her relationship with her own daughter.

Crept is the right word because this situation keeps getting creepier as the days go by.

Where is missing 2-year-old? Her mother may know:

The Grandmother of Caylee Marie Anthony appeared on the Today Show this morning and I still think she’s too trusting of her daughter. Cindy Anthony believes that her daughter knows who has Caylee Marie but is too afraid to talk to police. She also says that if the police let her talk to Casey she feels she’ll open up to her.

I think that if someone did take Caylee Marie Anthony that Casey Anthony might have opened up to the cops by now considering all the media attention. If there are actual kidnappers I would imagine that all this publicity would be putting Caylee Marie in grave danger.

Casey Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, says he knows why Casey isn’t cooperating with police but says he’s not at liberty to say.

Grandma Defends Daughter, Asks Public for Help Finding Missing Toddler:

On the other hand, the Orlando police are not so trusting in Casey…

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

Grandmother Of Missing Toddler Says Daughter “Has Done Something”:

It’s amazing the difference a day can make. All the above stuff I wrote earlier in the day but now I’m writing just before I post this.

Casey Anthony’s mom, Cindy Anthony, has now changed her story and is saying that she believes her daughter did have something to do with the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony. The article also delves deeper into the jealousy aspect mentioned above. With another really weird quote…

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

I wonder what that was all about.

100 Leads Actively Pursued For Missing Girl; Caylee Just Called, Says Grandmother:

The grandmother of Caylee Marie Anthony, Cindy Anthony, is saying that the missing girl spoke on the phone with her mother, Casey Anthony, last week.

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

I can’t say for certain but that sounds like second-hand information that was given to the grandmother by Casey Anthony.
