MESSAGE BOARD: Talk About Anthony Case, Search For Caylee
June 17 is the day after little Caylee was last seen alive and it's the same date that Eyewitness News tracked Casey Anthony's location to an area near the Orlando International Airport. From a satellite map the dense woods and ponds around the airport. The more information investigators get, the more locations come into the picture.Channel 9 has learned that the day after Caylee disappeared, Casey was in a somewhat remote area just a few miles from the Anthonys' home. Channel 9 has learned documents show that, for some reason, Casey Anthony came to the area less than ten minutes and less than five miles from her parents' Lee Vista home. There are acres of woods and scrub and there's lots of water. By day, there's very little traffic that comes through the area and not much lighting at night.Channel 9 has obtained maps showing how many AT&T cell phone towers there are in two key areas investigators are focused on. There are 15 cell towers within a ten mile radius of Caylee Anthony's grandparents' house, where Caylee's grandfather said he last saw her alive on the afternoon of June 16.There are 37 AT&T cell phone towers within ten miles of the apartment where Casey said she last saw Caylee alive on June 9, sometime between 9:00am and 1:00pm when she dropped Caylee off with the babysitter on her way to work.Casey lied about the date and the cell phone records are helping investigators find out what else Caylee's mother has lied about.It's known that Casey had no job and that Caylee did not disappear on June 9. Caylee's grandmother had stuck with Casey's version about June 9 until detectives confronted Cindy Anthony with video she herself had taken of Caylee during a visit with her great-grandfather in Mount Dora on Father's Day, June 15."I couldn't remember going on father's day because I go almost every week but I don't take Caylee that often," Cindy Anthony said during Casey's bond hearing."Are you lying to investigators? Purposely misleading them?" WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Cindy on Thursday.Cindy didn't reply verbally, but shook her head.
SHERIFF BEARY BREAKS SILENCE ON ANTHONY CASEOrange County Sheriff Kevin Beary spoke about the search for Caylee Anthony for the first time on Thursday (raw interview). He pleaded for more "credible" information from the public. He insists he's been hard at work behind the scenesIn his 16 years as Orange County sheriff, Kevin Beary has not been one to shy away from the camera, whether it's taking a zap from a taser on live TV or allowing a reality TV crew to follow him or shedding tears for deputies who put their lives in danger to fight crime.But in the case of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony, Beary has been noticeably absent from the spotlight."This might be the biggest missing persons case Orange County has seen in a long time. Why haven't we heard from you on this until now?" WFTV reporter Eric Rasmussen asked Beary."Because I think, bottom line, I've got a very qualified staff. They've done a phenomenal job, you get briefed every day and I have done a few interviews," he said.In the interview, Beary said he has deputies working around the clock to find Caylee and he bristled at a question about whether he's playing less of a role with his long run as sheriff coming to an end in less than five months."Do you think you're a lame duck here?" Rasmussen asked."If I'm a lame duck, you should've been out until three o'clock in the morning, when I rode last Friday night all over this community. My last day is January 5th, 2009. This is one of those cases I want to solve and, for those who think I'm a lame duck, they need to go get a real job," he said.In the final months as sheriff, Kevin Beary said he already has resources across the state committed to come in and help with the search if investigators get a break in the case.
GEORGE ANTHONY LASHES OUT AT MEDIAIt's now been 30 days since Caylee Anthony was reported missing in Orange County and Thursday morning the child's mother, Casey Anthony, had a jailhouse visit with her parents. But, beforehand, George Anthony could not control his emotions (Watch Raw Video | See Images).The Anthonys arrived back home late Thursday morning, but since leaving the video visitation center around 10:00am neither one has spoken a word to the media."Guys, please just leaves us alone," George told reporters asking questions before their scheduled visitation Thursday morning. "When I go up here, do not follow us in the gate. Do not follow us when we're standing in line, please."George and Cindy Anthony made it clear they were in no mood for questions before their video visitation with their daughter Casey. But when a question was asked about a detective's theory that 2-year old Caylee may not be alive, George Anthony lashed out."Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I'm sick of this," he said.Cindy Anthony then seemed to indicate they both believe Caylee is alive."And [a tipster] just spotted Caylee again, so you guys better just frickin' quit bugging us," Cindy said."If you don't want to be knocked down, get out of my way," George added.The two appeared to cool off after getting away from the throng of reporters and cameras. Once inside the video visitation center, the grandparents spent 45 minutes speaking to Casey through a live video feed.After the visitation, the Anthonys did not to speak a word to reporters no matter what was asked, not even Cindy Anthony who wouldn't explain the tip she claimed to hear that someone had seen her granddaughter alive.The jail released Casey's visitation schedule for the rest of the week and the beginning of next week. Casey's brother Lee is expected to visit at 1:00pm on Saturday and George and Cindy will return on Monday at 1:00pm.
LOOPHOLE COULD ALLOW CASEY TO BEAT SYSTEMA loophole could allow Caylee Anthony's mother to beat the system. She's still only facing charges of child neglect and giving false statements.If her attorney asks for a speedy trial, they could be the only charges she ever faces. Florida law prohibits a person from being tried on more serious charges at a later date if the person stands trial for something that's related."If you lose a kid and that results in a child's death, that's one and the same case, because those are manslaughter charges," said board-certified trial attorney Richard Hornsby.If Casey was found guilty of child neglect, she would only serve up to five years in prison versus a maximum of life for murder. Still, detectives have never said that Caylee Anthony is dead or that Casey is under investigation for murder or manslaughter.
