I found this newspaper article. Hadn't really planned to use a newspaper article to confirm the She's Close She's Close statement, but I found the rest of the article interesting. According to the article, GA was with Casey at a jail visit when she said "She's close. She's close."
Maybe Casey is a "Daddy's Girl" and things got emotional during the visit with her dad, and she emphasized it twice to console him.
Here is the article:

ORLANDO -- The grandfather of a missing girl said he had tough questions for his daughter over the weekend as new information revealed in the case puts a police timeline in question, FLORIDA TODAY news partner WKMG Local 6 News reports.
"I wouldn't wish this on anyone," George Anthony said. "She said, 'Dad, we're going to get her,' "And I said again, that's another question and I said, 'Where is she?' 'Dad, she's close, she's close,' (Casey Anthony said)." Casey Anthony said she's given all the information she has, Local 6 reported. The family remains optimistic when faced with questions of whether or not the girl is alive. "That's a question you guys keep asking me," George Anthony said. "And, yes, I do." I hope that is the last time you ask me that because I do believe that. I can feel that." George Anthony said he realizes that his daughter faces charges of child neglect and accusations that she's lied to authorities. "She has to pay for everything she's put herself through (and) her daughter through," George Anthony said. "I realize that and I think she realizes that too." Anthony said his daughter has lost weight and is broken hearted behind bars. "She is crying inside and broken hearted," George Anthony said. "She said, 'Dad, I want to be home for her birthday."
Meanwhile, DNA test results from evidence taken from Casey Anthony's vehicle may be back this week, Local 6 has learned. Detectives said they found a stain inside the woman's car that smelled of human decomposition. A piece of hair was also removed from the vehicle. Information may also soon come out from gas cans confiscated from the Anthony home on Friday.
Investigators interviewed Casey Anthony's boyfriend again in the last several days and new information surfaced. Detectives said the man told them he is now not sure if he heard Caylee on a June 24 phone call or just heard Casey Anthony scolding the child. The man's story could change the timeline and the investigation, Local 6's Tiffany Tift reported.
Also, new photos showing Caylee as a baby in the arms of her mother were found Sunday. The pictures show Anthony as a new mother in the hospital after giving birth and Caylee's first birthday party in August of 2006. Another photo shows Caylee playing in the back yard with her mother. A national search for the child continues.
