Casey goes to the next door neighbor to borrow a shovel. That was too much work for her so Casey decides to throw her in swamp.
On the 20th she extends the lie to they are now at Busch Gardens.
Casey tells send issue will be back on the 21st. On the 21st she tells Cindy that the conference is still going on and still at Busch Gardens and speaks of fictional people.
These people are somehow imaginary in the sense that they are not deliberate fabrications. But in fact they are fabrications to help tell Cindy that they are in fact at Busch Gardens. And then she tells Cindy that Kaylee is with the nanny at the beach. Casey's lies fit the audience.
By the 22nd Cindy is told the conference ran late, we planned on coming back but we decided to stay late.
Casey is still of course at home in Orlando, and Kaylee is in her resting place off suburban drive.
On the 23rd when they are supposed to be home Casey needs to come up with some other reason why they are not there. Casey comes up with the story of the accident and is now in an imaginary hospital.
she says Casey is having such a wonderful time that they are going to extend their stay.
Casey continues to update her mother about the imaginary injury and decides to stay even longer.
On the 24th however she has a problem. She runs into her father in the gas can incident. Just to come up with something for why Caylee is with her. Casey is smart is amazing how she comes up with her lies.
On the 25th she says she's still in the hospital being supportive of Zanny. She says they decide to stay at the hotel and spend one more night at the hotel, and finally Cindy thinks Caylee is going to be home the next day.
the next day comes, June 27, Casey says they met up with Jeff Hopkins, an imaginary connection to Zanny. imagine being able to remember the lies you told the year ago and incorporate that into a new lie. so now Jeff Hopkins is in town and they staying at the Hard Rock. there are some contradictory lies, but says she is having a wonderful time, everyone is having a wonderful time.
June 29 gee mom we are having just so much fun we cannot come home.
June 30 she tells Cindy that Jennifer and Caylee are going to Universal Studios
on July 1 Cindy is on vacation. She she makes the mistake of telling Cindy that Jennifer and Kaylee at Universal. Cindy goes to Universal and calls Casey on her phone to say she wants to see her granddaughter. she arrived at universal and says to KC I'm here. Casey says oh no we're in Jacksonville. She says that she has some romantic interest in Jeff Hopkins. this is the beginning of Casey's long-term strategy. reember timer 55, the password you created for her MySpace account. timer55 is related to Caylee (per Casey). Casey told him timer 55 represents the 55 days between June 16 and Caylee's birthday. it is supposed to represent the time that is and she will have Caylee and then bring her back. The MOST she could do was 55 days. The Jeff Hopkin story is a long-term strategy.
Cindy created a MySpace page and she and Casey already had a heart to heart. she says Jeff Hopkins is someone she could have a long-term relationship with. he is a wealthy man who lives out of town. She comes up with a long-term strategy. Maybe she'll marry Jeff Hopkins. Maybe they'll move to Europe.
She tells Cindy her cars being fixed in Jacksonville and she will return on the 12th. On July 13 she tells Cindy that Jeff Hopkins mother is getting married and she will stay for the wedding. But instead she is just an imaginary friend.
Cindy was smart and leaving her alone after that until July 15. On that day all hell breaks loose. If Cindy and George had not gotten the core I don't believe that Cindy would have seen a granddaughter until at least the child's birthday.
On July 15 Cindy is on a mission. Cindy is going to find and see her granddaughter and will not be denied. She is going to track down Casey and you will going to give me my granddaughter now. Casey keeps saying she said Zanny's. ZannyZannyZanny. her brother says, take me to your granddaughter. NO, she's sleeping. And she convinces her of the reality that at this point allies will not succeed. And the pattern you will see repeated is a face of a lie that simply cannot stand.
Zanny, yes there is a Zanny. Casey had the number of days right but the wrong date. 31 of the 55 days are gone. she says I looking for her. I've been doing my own investigation. She makes up an elaborate story, a consistent lie. And she portrays herself as a victim. but the more she tells a story the more it seems to fall apart. If it weren't true you could write it this good.
she maintains a story about the kidnapping. She takes the police to universal walks from the security gate and entered the building with absolute confidence, walks down the hallway, turns around with her hands in her pockets and says okay I don't work here. When she is at the end of that hallway, she realized the lie has failed me, so I must abandon it.
She admits to lying about working Universal but she maintains the nanny story. she maintains a light through conversations with law enforcement and through conversations with her parents for all of July and August. but her claim of where she dropped Caylee off has been proven to be a lie. It has been conclusively disproven. realizing that when she is briefly release from jail on bond, she comes up with a new story. The forcible kidnapping story in Blanchard Park. Yes, Zanny did kidnap Caylee but it was by force. They held my arms they held me down, because I was a bad mother. But she is faced with overwhelming evidence that the story is a lie. Call it KC 3.0.
The problem with that version comes up in December 2008. Caylee's remains are found within a quarter of a mile of the Anthony's home. Some very important items are found.
