Hello WS
Statement to LE

LE: ...talking to mom and dad the date of the gas can incident, tell me about the gas can incident first.
LA: Sure
LE: ...at your parents house.
LA: Uh, and this has been, I've just been able to piece this together from hearing from my father and mother and through, and from Tony um, Lazaro.
Was about a week prior to the time when the sunfire ran out of gas at the Amscot, about a week prior to that uhm, my sister had run out of gas close to home. Called Tony to come get her.
Tony brought my sister per her request to my, my parents house. He stayed, my sister asked him to stay in his vehicle while she goes inside to get uh, gas cans. Uhm, so he explained it as her being inside for at least, you know, what would probably be ten or fifteen minutes. Enough time for a few songs to play on the radio.
LE: So Tony took her to your house, to your mom's house in his jeep?
LA: I have no idea what, what vehicle.
LE: And you don't know how they got there?
LA: No
LE: But they just got there to get some gas?
LA: Exactly.
Uhm, so Casey you know, they'er...emerge with her, with the, with the gas cans. But uh, when I heard about the gas can story from uhm, my father was that he said that someone had, because we have these little padlocks on our sheds in the back uhm, typically we don't even keep them locked. Uhm, someone had broken into the shed, taken the gas cans out and uhm, he was pretty sure it was Casey. And then it was able, we were able later to find out that it absolutely was. Tony said that Casey did indeed get the gas cans. He didn't know that she had stolen them.(chuckles)
LE: Yeah
LA: And uhm, Casey uhm, I guess had admitted to my father uhm, during a, a,
a brief uh, stint when she had just popped in at the house, when she gave the gas cans back.
LE: Let me, let me ratchet that down.
LA: Uh-hum
LE:
The second time then that your dad was home and hears rooting around in the house? Not on the 20th, the day you know, not that Friday before or thereabout that she ran out of gas?
LA: Uh-hum
LE: A week before the Amscot on the 27th?
LA: Somewhere in between.
LE: Somewhere in between the, okay.
LA: Somewhere between the 20th and the 27th.
LE: Somewhere uh...
LA:
And again, the 20th is an appropriate date when she would have run out of gas.
(skip)
LE: ...text messages some friends that says,
"What are the odds that I run out of gas two Fridays in a row?"
LA: Humm, there you go.(laughs)
LE: So she, she, that's in Amy's...
LA: There you go.(laughs)
LE: ...text messaging.
LA: There you go.(laughs)
(skip)
LA: But uhm, but yeah sometime in between that time it was uh, uhm conveyed by my father that my sister had shown up to uh, get a change of clothes. Uhm, he was already at home like at a break from work or something like that. He heard the garage door open, Casey comes in, hey dad, I'm here to get a change of clothes and goes to leave outside the house.
My dad follows her outside the house to try to say you know, we haven't seen you, you know, what's going on? Is everything okay, blah, blah, blah and uhm, it was at that time when uhm, my sister was going to throw you know, the change of clothes that she had just gotten, she was going to put them in the trunk and you know, my father, he had a motive. He knew that the gas cans were in the trunk.(laughs)So uhm,
she kind of returned them forcefully, by saying, "here are your f-ing gas cans" and, and you know.
LE: Let me, let me ask you something about that. and I'll ask dad, or if you get a change to talk to dad about that. did dad actually see the cans in the trunk, or did she grab them and then(inaudible).
LA: She grabbed them from the trunk, gave them to my fa...and again, forcefully gave them to my father. But like I said the reason why I know it was between that time was the gas cans went missing uh, approximately that time on the 20th. Uhm, the car was towed at Amscot on the 27th. So for her to have those gas cans in the vehicle and able to get, provide them back to my father, it had to happen within that week.
LE: I'm curious when you're talking to dad, while you guys were working on a time line if dad got close enough to the car to see if there was any, was Tony in the car at that time? She was...
LA: Uhm...
LE: ...or was she by herself?
LA: ...that was never conveyed, it was, it was conveyed that...
LE: I'm curious if...
LA: ...
she was, that Caylee was not with her. That no one else was with her.
LE: And...
LA: But any other details have not been conveyed to me.
LE: And I would ask for your note sheet was there any, did he get close enough to determine if there was any smell in the car at that time from the squirrels?
LA: I'm, I'm pretty sure he would have mentioned it at this point.
LE: Okay
LA: Huh
LE: Well...
LA: I'm, I'm, I would think that he would have...
LE: I'm...
LA: ...brought that up already.(laughs)
LE: He may have not, yeah, he may have not gotten close enough.
LA: That, that's true.
LE: That's what I'm...
LA: That's true.
LE: That's why I'm saying did he...
LA: He'll, he'll be able to answer that more accurately.
LE: If she intends to run over there real quick, knowing he was going to get those cans and grab them and then went to him, to keep him away from the car...
LA: Right
LE: ...that, I'm just trying to...
LA: Maybe
LE: ...explore that option as well.
LA: Maybe I...
LE: That, that possibility.
(paraphrase: LA says GA can answer that better)
This next portion makes it seem like George knew at the time that Casey's car had broken down at Amscot and that he was aware that it was Tony who had come to the "rescue", of course that was after she had tried to have Jesse help. This event seems to lead to the day where Tony goes to George and Cindy's to get the gas cans with Casey.
And I was surprised to find out that Casey called GEORGE that day to help her when she ran out of gas? The same day she ended up taking Tony to her house to get the gas cans? Am I seeing this right WS? Really, I'm asking...

GA:
If its true or not, I guess Casey called me up when her vehicle broke down. She ran out of gas for the umpteenth number of times...
LE: Right
GA: ...over there at Goldenrod and...
LE: 50?
GA:
50, at the Amscot. The first person she called supposedly, I don't know, I don't, I, I'm just going by what I've been told by a couple of friends that she mentioned(inaudible)that Jesse said.
LE: Yeah
GA: "Oh, she reached out and I talked to her for "X" amount of minutes." Okay, and what'd you guys talk about? "Well, she needed my help and I'm on the other side of town. And I know she was on that side." How did you know she was on this side, on our side, on the east side?
LE: Uh-hum
GA:
"Well I just figured she was" I said, don't make assumptions on somebody. She could be right next door to you pal.(
Can someone explain why George is so upset here?)
LE: Uh-hum
GA:
And that's a different issue. But I found this Tony, I guess she ended up calling him right away and (snaps fingers) he beat feet where he's at somewhere, where ever he lives. I don't care(inaudible).(
Creepy alert!)
LE: Well we do, but go ahead.
GA:
You know I guess he's right there for the rescue.(
Fully Creepy) I guess at no time(inaudible) well where's Caylee at? You know, what's going on? And when you start to worrying about this is like I know that last time I saw my daughter after I apologize for this time thing.
