ORLANDO, Fla. —
"I don't know what your involvement is sweetheart. You're not telling me where she's at," Cynthia Anthony tells Casey in the call.
"That's because I don't f**ing know where she's at, are you kidding me?" Casey screams back to her mother.
"Casey, don't waste your call to scream and holler at me," her mom says.
"No! Waste my call sitting in, oh, the jail!" Casey yells back.
"Whose fault is it that you're sitting in the jail? Are you blaming me that you're sitting in the jail?" Cynthia asks.
"It's not my fault," Casey says.
"Blame yourself for telling lies," Cynthia said.
NEW 911 CALL RELEASED IN CASE
In a 911 call released by the Orlando Police Department on Friday, Casey Anthony's mother tells her daughter that she's taking her to police. The latest call is actually the first of three now released in the case of a missing 2-year-old.
"No, I'm not giving you another day, I've given you a month," Cythina Anthony can be heard, presumably talking to Casey Anthony, as the 911 dispatcher works to transfer the call to the sheriff's office.
The recording was made on the evening of July 15 at an Orlando police station while the call was being transferred to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. During the call, Cynthia Anthony asks the dispatcher where she can take her daughter to turn her in for stealing a car and money.
"I have a 22-year-old person that has grand theft sitting in my auto with me," Cynthia Anthony tells the dispatcher.
"Is this a relative?" the dispatcher asks.
"Yes," she says. "I want to bring her in."
The web of misinformation and contradictory statements in the case of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony has centered on the child's grandmother after the release of the 911 calls. Investigators have now released a total of three calls. The call released Friday is actually the first of the three.
The two calls released Thursday were made to the Orange County Sheriff's Office by Cynthia Anthony. Those calls were made after the initial call to the Orlando Police Department. Cynthia sounds rather calm in the first call to the police department, but sounds frantic in the following two calls.
"I have someone here that needs to be arrested in my home and I have a possibly missing child. I have a 3-year-old that's been missing for a month," a crying Cynthia Anthony tells the dispatcher in the first of two calls to the sheriff's office.
"Have you reported that?" the dispatcher asks Cynthia.
"I'm trying to do that now, ma'am," Cynthia replies.
"What did the person do that you need arrested?" the dispatcher asks.
"My daughter," Cynthia replies. "For stealing an auto and stealing some money."
That call ends, but Cynthia Anthony calls back.
"I found out my granddaughter has been taken, she has been missing. My daughter finally admitted that she's been missing. ... My daughter finally admitted that the babysitter stole her. I need to find her."
"There's something wrong," Cynthia continues to tell the dispatcher. "I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."
The latter comments contradict what she told Eyewitness News after Casey Anthony's bond hearing on Tuesday.
"There was a bag of pizza for 12 days in a car full of maggots," Casey's mother Cynthia Anthony told reporters.
But after the calls were released early Thursday evening, Cynthia Anthony insisted to WFTV that she did not contradict herself.
"It smelled like something had died in the car. I smelled it. I thought something had died in the car. I didn't know what it was. It could have been a squirrel. It could have been anything. But when we opened the trunk and we saw the maggots in the trunk with all the pizza and stuff, it was a rancid smell," she said.
Casey Anthony, the mother of the missing girl, also spoke on one of the 911 calls to the sheriff's office and sounded much more calm than her mother.
"My daughter has been missing for the last 31 days. I know who has her. I tried to contact her. I did get to speak to my daughter for about a minute," Casey Anthony tells the dispatcher.
Investigators continue to follow leads in the search for missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. Meanwhile, the toddler's mother, Casey Anthony, remains in jail on a $500,000 bond. Her lawyer has filed an appeal to lower what he says is an unfairly high bond amount.
