MESSAGE BOARD: Talk About Anthony Case
Their efforts, though didn’t keep Cindy Anthony from reading a poem. “Caylee where ever you are, we promise you that you will be back in our arms real soon. There is nothing more important Caylee, than bringing you home," Cindy read.It’s the same poem she wanted to read last Sunday night, but couldn’t. The Anthony family cancelled last week’s vigil to try to bring back the peace and quite that disappeared from the Hopespring Drive neighborhood soon after the child’s mother, Casey reported her missing.“When it got cancelled due to things like that, it's just sad that we can't hold a fifteen minute vigil for a child who's missing," said supporter Darlene Schmidt.The Anthony’s held the vigil because they thought that with the help of security and hired private investigators, the turmoil on their street had calmed down.Meanwhile, Casey Anthony will be out of the house again for her weekly appointment with a home confinement manager.

INTERVIEW WITH CINDY ANTHONY RELEASEDIt was a grueling two-hour interview with Cindy Anthony, where she frequently interrupted and dodged investigators' questions. It ended with them begging her to stop misleading the public, because it was hurting their search for Caylee.Cindy told a whole new story about where Casey was the first week Caylee was gone during the interview with investigators on August 1. Cindy Anthony relayed to detectives a totally different story Casey told her about where she and Caylee were the week after Caylee had last been seen. Casey said she was working long hours, staying at the Hard Rock Hotel near Universal and at Busch Gardens, where she and the nanny took Caylee on Sunday, then Zanny had a car accident on the way home."Zanny had a concussion," Cindy told investigators.Cindy said she doesn't believe any of it now and that she doesn't believe Caylee was with Zanny."I think that Zanny, at this point, was a real person in the beginning, but I think Zanny is now whoever's watching Caylee," Cindy said."Do you think we're spinning our wheels looking for a Zanny?" an investigator asked."I'm not sure. I have two theories. I think Zanny could either be Amy or Jesse at this point," she told them.

EXPLICIT CONVERSATION BETWEEN CASEY, LOVER RELEASEDOne of the main topics of conversation in an Instant Message conversation online with Anthony Rusciano, one of Casey's lovers, is sex."Sex is good with us, really good. And I know it's not the only reason you want to see me," Casey told him."Good, I hope so, but Jesus three week droughts blow," Rusciano replied. "So again, bring your little fine ass over here."Rusciano was a sheriff's deputy later fired for lying about the affair. It seems like Casey's daughter Caylee was the problem in the relationship."Ha, want me to bring the little snot head?" Casey asked. "Didn't think so."Later, in a police interview, Rusciano was asked about that comment.

CASEY'S CHILDHOOD FRIEND APPEARS ON CNNA childhood friend of Casey Anthony spoke out Thursday on CNN's Nancy Grace about what Cindy Anthony told her the day after Caylee was reported missing."The morning of the 16th, when I talked to Cindy, she told me that she believes Casey was guilty of something. She did not know what, but she didn't care if it meant that Casey ended up behind bars for the rest of her life as long as she got Caylee home," said Brittany Schieber.Schieber also said that from June 9 until Casey was arrested in July, she was constantly texting her about going out and she could not understand how Casey had so much free time when she had a 2-year-old daughter.Friday at 10:00am, the State Attorney's Office is releasing the 2 hour long videotaped interview, with Caylee's grandmother Cindy which was done two weeks after she reported Caylee missing. They will also release text messages, hundreds of documents and cell phone records.Prosecutors are also releasing Casey's computer records, which show that Casey deleted Yahoo mail and some photographs of Caylee.
NEW AUDIO RECORDINGS RELEASEDDetectives released new audio recordings Thursday of their interviews with three men in Casey Anthony's life, her brother, her lover and her ex-fiance.
NEW AUDIO INTERVIEWS: Anthony Lazzaro - July 29 | Lee Anthony - July 29 | Jesse Grund - July 31 | Jesse Grund - July 23
It has been 72 days since Caylee Anthony was reported missing. Detectives believe she's dead.Documents have already been released of what some of the men in Casey's life have said, but Thursday's audio recordings reveal how they said things and hear their attitudes.Casey's brother Lee Anthony told investigators he did not believe Casey when she said the terrible smell in her trunk came from two dead squirrels under the hood. Lee told investigators his first indication that something was terribly wrong was noticing the horrible smell wafting from Casey's car trunk."The trunk was open. The windows were rolled down to what I assume ventilate the horrible smell that I had just, just, uh, smelled for the first time," he said. "It was, it was, it hit you like a, a wave. I mean it was, it was, whatever it was it was very potent."Once their mother brought Casey home, he said he tried to get Casey to tell them exactly where Caylee was, but all she would talk about was how her mother Cindy nagged her about what a bad mother she is."That's when she opened up to me and said, uh, 'Mom has, um, thrown in my face many times before that I'm an unfit mother and, you know, maybe she's right. Maybe I am.' She offered up to me for the first time that, um, my mother has referred, said to my sister that, um, even though Caylee's been the best thing and the best mistake that she was indeed a mistake, that she was Casey's mistake," Lee told investigators.Lee also told investigators that his sister Casey got irritated when he pressed her for Caylee's whereabouts.Cindy Anthony also did her own questioning before deputies arrived. Lee said his mother got upset and physically frustrated with Casey at times."Actually that was the first thing she asked her, she said, 'what have you done?' My mother kind of hit her fist on the bed and said 'we could've found her a month a go. Why did you wait?' And at that point my sister's done crying," he said.Lee said, at first, Casey insisted Caylee was with the nanny, but never mentioned the name Zenaida to him. He told her their mother was calling law enforcement and, when officers got there, they would press her to show them where Caylee was and Lee said that's when Casey cried and admitted she hadn't seen Caylee in 31 days.In the interviews released of Jesse Grund, Casey's former fiancé, he told investigators he thought, if Casey were to hide Caylee's body somewhere, she would have put her in the playhouse behind Cindy and George Anthony's home."She totally loved the playhouse. Every time I would go inside and play with Caylee, right to the playhouse. Every time she spent a lot of time out there with grandparents and with Casey. If something were to happen to her, I believe that would be the first place she would have put Caylee," Grund told investigators during the interview in July. "If she wanted to place Caylee's body somewhere that would be the first place that she would have put her."Grund went on to tell investigators that Casey was a liar."We can all tell, for the last couple of years, is that Casey is an effective liar. I would describe it as diabolical the way she lies," he said.Casey Anthony's most recent ex-boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro, told investigators that two weeks after Caylee had disappeared, Casey's dreams had been haunting her."She, uh, would wake up or wake me up either in the middle of the night or I would just wake up in the middle of the night and see that she was sweaty in bed and I would ask her why and she would say that she would have nightmare, she was having a nightmare or something' and then would bring up the nightmare pertaining to our relationship," Lazzaro told investigators.
Their efforts, though didn’t keep Cindy Anthony from reading a poem. “Caylee where ever you are, we promise you that you will be back in our arms real soon.
