Wow, one former DA just says that Cindy and George should be charged with accessories after the fact at minimum.
Okay...
Lee was going through her phone book. I can't pinpoint either if that's electronic or paperback type phone book. But he called the names and one neighbor said "Lee why are you calling me?" and that's how it went ... weird, weird.
I can't believe Geraldo didn't make a bigger deal of the phon-y numbers. You can bet Greta and Nancy won't make the same mistake.
Did Casey babysit for these people, or go to school with their kids, or ? She doesn't seem the Neighborhood Watch type, so I'm wondering why she would have had these particular phone numbers programmed into her phone.
Were the phone numbers already in there and she changed the names, or are these new entries? I can envision her parents having the neighbors' numbers in a household phone book that she might have accessed.
If she got the numbers out of the family's phone book, it points to her changing them in the period of time between Cindy picking her up, and her arrest. Possibly that short period of time after her wild ride through multiple apartment complexes and an unplanned conference room meeting at Universal.
She'd just given the 'Jeff Hopkins' and 'Juliet Lewis' names to LE, but they may not at that point have gotten information out of the Uni HR dept, which may have wanted a little time to research its employment records. They also needed time to prepare the arrest affidavit.
I think Casey had a very short window of opportunity - a matter of hours - and she used it.
She may not be thinking clearly, but she's clearly cunning.
