The last time I actually spoke to Casey was the day she was originally arrested(late July). Early that morning, I received a text message on my cell phone from Casey saying, "Caylee has been missing for 31 days..." It looked to me like it was a forwarded text message, as if it were sent to everyone in her phone book. As soon as I received the text I called her house phone and spoke to her mom. Casey's mom answered the phone and was crying. I told her who I was and she told me Caylee was missing and that they were going through a lot right now. I asked if I could speak to Casey, she agreed, and handed the phone to Casey. Casey was crying on the phone and said she had no idea where Caylee was at. She said the last time she saw her was when she dropped her off at the babysitter's. Casey told me that when she tried to call the babysitter's phone, it was turned off.
I asked her why she didn't tell anybody that Caylee was missing. She told me that she, "was worried for Caylee's safety" and that "she conducted her own investigation." She also said, "Mark the worst part is, since Caylee has been missing for 31 days and because I didn't tell anybody, I'm being looked at..." Casey said she'd call back and didn't. It was a very fast moving conversation and I was taken aback trying to figure out what was going on. Although, I did not keep asking her why, I kept wondering why she wouldn't have told somebody...police, family, friends, or even me-that Caylee was missing.
The fact that she didn't tell anyone was completely out of the ordinary and out of character for he Casey that I knew. The Casey I knew was a very caring and devoted mother to Caylee.
Later that same day, I called her back and her father answered the phone. He questioned me as to who I was and how I knew Casey. Once I explained who I was he kind of calmed down and said Casey had been arrested.He also said he could not tell me anything more. I told him that I would be praying for Caylee, Casey and their family. Casey's father said, "thank you" and our conversation ended.
After hanging up with George Anthony, I immediately called my mom. During our conversation she reminded me that she had just seen Casey the week prior at Target. My mom told me Casey was by herself and was buying a case of beer. She said she thought about asking Casey where Caylee was but never did. They had a brief conversation about Casey's boyfriend coming back(from where I don't know)and went their separate ways.
Two weeks ago on 18 Sept '08 I received a message on myspace from Casey. The message said something like, "hey hon, I miss you. how are you doing?...we're gonna get these bastards including PADILLA...I miss my 'Charlie Brown'. Let me know the next time you're in town, I miss you and want to see you..."
I sent her a response saying I missed her too and that I am praying for all of them and if she needed anything, to just let me know.
