Yes. I think that is what happened. LE questions Lee in his interview about this and Lee says that while he and Casey were out in the garage, LE had his parents and were questioning them. That is when they both, George and Cindy gave the June 8th/9th date-and Lee says that it was easy to hear everything that was being said.
Interview with LE
July 29th, 2008
Lee Anthony
LA:
I, I'm pretty sure I would know why Casey would have come up with the 9th initially.
LE: Why is that?
LA:
It was pretty obvious to me. My mom's frantic because remember she swore up and down the last time, I, I've seen my granddaughter is the 8th.
LE:
Oh, mom planted the seed?
LA:
Exactly, so of course whether my sister intentionally said the 9th or not...
LE: Hmm
LA: ...or meant to think the 9th, she meant to say 31 days. You don't...
LE: Right
(skip)
LA: So my mom could have influenced that, not you know...
LE: So your mom thinking...
LA: ...not on purpose but...
LE: ...your mom would have said the last time I saw my baby was on the 15th...
LE: (other officer) ...She's thinking out loud?
LE: ...your sister may have picked the 16th?
LA: She would have said the 16th. She would have followed suit with that. I mean it, it was, you could hear every, even thought we were separated you could hear everybody, everything everyone else was saying.
So prior to taking a statement, an official statement from my sister she had already heard all these dates and all this info being thrown out there. So just being, I would imagine already being in a high emotional state anyway uh, naturally she's going to assume well, mom's probably got her stuff together(laughs). That's, she probably wouldn't have even of, thought twice to think 31 days. You know it's easy to count but you now, if she would even have known what the physical date was.
All of this comes after Lee explains that Casey has explained the "atrocious" smell with the "two dead squirrels crawled up under the hood of the car." Casey gives a date for the smell circa: "Mom's birthday".
LA: Uhm, and I couldn't be there any more for a minute or two and I had to keep going back inside because the smell was so bad. Uhm,
I sat down with her and uh, when I referenced the car smell she said, "Well it, it actually started around mom's birthday." When, uhm, which is again June 5th. She said, "It started around the time when uhm, two dead squirrels crawled up under the hood of the car" uhm, just per, that time per her time line with my mother's birthday being the 5th, and my mother last seeing Caylee she believed at that time the 8th. My sister saying that the last time that she had saw Caylee at that time she said the 9th of June, I questioned well either mom or dad would have smelled that. My dad specifically because he always enjoys to clean the cars, especially on the weekends. If not every weekend every other weekend. Uhm...
George Anthony's written statement to LE
July 15, 2008
GA: On July 15th, 2008 at approximately 2005 pm. my spouse(Cindy)called my cell phone. I immediately attempted to return her call, and only got her voice mail. I called our land line # and also got a voice mail. I immediately then called my son, Lee told him I would appreciate him checking on his mom, told him briefly about Casey again, and mom and I are upset. At 2035 pm, I finally got a hold of my spouse by cell, and she asked when I would be home. I told her I would be home about 10-10:30 pm. Arriving at 9:50 pm, my spouse was in our garage crying, upset and
told me that Caylee Marie(our granddaughter)was missing, taken a month ago by a person by the name of Zanny. I inquired to my spouse about OCS being called and I was told they were contacted at 8:30 PM. As to this statement,
my granddaughter-Caylee Marie Anthony, age 3 has been missing. What I mean, I have not seen her or heard her voice since June 9th, 2008. My daughter,
Casey, Caylee's mother has been very vauge for a month, each time we have asked to speak, see her or ask where she is at, my daughter would always have a different answer. My granddaughter will be 3 yrs. old August 9th, 2008.
Why Casey gave a date near Cindy's birthday: June 5th-which is near George and Cindy's date of June 8th/9th-is because she had been keeping Caylee from them for that long. Of course if Caylee died on June 16th(as I think we have established) she was giving a reason for the smell in the car-not the whereabouts of Caylee, yet(or at that point). Casey's first answers were for her family not LE. She did not go into that mode until LE took her on the "Universal tour." Casey knew the last time Cindy had seen Caylee was on father's day, which was blazed in her mind because she knew that was when she killed Caylee...that's why when alone with Lee and when Cindy barged in she said: 31 days because she had to say it was the last time she dropped Caylee off with "the nanny."
George Anthony statement to LE
August 4th, 2008
LE: ...these two days out but um, she,
so she actually told you on the 16th, I plan on staying at Zanny's on a late event?
GA: Yes most definitely.
LE: Mom starts calling, apparently mom says that she had some form of a uh, big deal going on at, at work, a convention. So they were staying at the uh, Hard Rock Hotel.
GA:
That's what she told us.
LE: Yeah
GA:
I mean that's what my wife reiterated to me.
LE:
You didn't have a conversation just what your wife...
GA:
Right
LE: ...told you, okay. And then there was, they had to move that to Busch Gardens Tampa area.
GA: Yes
LE: And that's where Zanny got in accident?
So, it seems that Casey had been keeping Caylee away, prior to June 15th father's day but could not get away with missing father's day-so she brought Caylee to Cindy so they could see great grandpa but as far as Cindy and George were concerned Caylee had been out of their lives since June 8th/9th and that is why they gave the date they did. I don't know what all this means, my head is spinning right now...
