Overwhelming Evidence for Jury - As of Feb 2011

[annmarie62]

Last year, my son was 11 and he walked home from school every day. We lived too "close" (SC law says one must live over a mile from the school for bus pickup; I didn't have a car and couldn't always make it to walk home with him due to working at home-) Anyway, one day last spring the fears I had kept pushed down all came to a head: he didn't come home on time and he KNEW that was my #1 rule. Soooo... he usually got home between 2:45 and
2:50. By 2:51 I was in the yard, screaming his name, in case he was close and I was just overreacting- but no baby boy. (He will be my baby boy until the day I die, of course!). By 3:10 I was at my neighbor's door and thank God she was home cause she's always working; anyway as soon as she saw my face and heard me say I had to find my son we hauled butt to his school in her car. By then the staff had mostly cleared out, there was one woman in the office getting ready to leave and we had her use the PA to see if he was on the school grounds or if he had stayed after for some reason. No response. By now it's about 3:25. She asked me if I wanted to call 911 and I just LOST IT and broke down into a crying, shaking mess. Praying to God, Oh Jesus help me!! My neighbor, bless her heart, is a strong woman and she said, "Okay, here's what, we are going to check your house one more time and if he's not there we will call 911"- so that's what we did. When we drove up, I didn't find him and just as I was reaching for the phone (like in a dream, a f/n nightmare)- he pops in the back door "Hey mom!" What had happened was that a school friend was picked up by his grandma that day and they said they'd give him a ride- but first he could go to the GROCERY STORE with them! My son, being 11, never thought to have her call me but it was her fault as the adult... and it'd only be a few minutes, right? So- thank God. My neighbor still remembers that day ("Oh God- your face when you first came over!" she still says) And I still remember that feeling of guilt because I didn't have a car and his walking home alone was all my fault... O/T I guess but here's my POINT: ALL of this panic, fear, and actual TERROR occurred within ONE HOUR. Within ONE HOUR my world was destroyed, within that SAME hour it was restored. I will never EVER forget how it felt the first few minutes of thinking, "So this is what it's like to maybe have a missing child!!" I wouldn't wish that agony on anyone. Therefore, in response to this thread, I have but one answer to give as I join in the Greek chorus of:

THIRTY-ONE DAYS. THIRTY-ONE DAYS. THIRTY-ONE @#*!$%! D-A-Y-S!!!!!!

 

[tlcya]

exactly, and your son was 11.

31 days, hanging out in parking lots and shopping centers running her own investigation while her evenings were spent clubbing and bed hopping while her toddler was in the wind.

yuh huh.

 

[strach304]

iirc, she said she lost her Blackjack phone, don't remember a police report being mention..I know she mention some places where she may have lost it to Lee...

I also thought she told LE she may have left it on her "desk" at Universal?

I think she said she reported her "ahem" lost Universal employee ID to Universal Security..

That's what I remember too. Never any formal report of her losing her phone until she had to tell LE that to account for no number for ZFG.

 

[strach304]

I'm trying hard to remember where I saw it.

Someone posted it on the board.I think it may
have been on her M.S. site.

That's what I recall also.

 

[shotgun09]

Annemarie, your post was riveting. You described what most mothers would feel (and do). And, like most of us on here, the THIRTY ONE DAYS was the attention grabber when we all first heard it on the news. The facts then came out, that it wasn't even the child's mother that reported Caylee missing!!?? WHAT MOTHER DOESN'T DO THAT?? Just the simple... yet alarming fact of 31 days is the states case.

 

[bananarama]

In regards to Lies...

Proof that the following people that Casey named, spoke of or created emails of, during the 31 days Caylee was missing and Casey was conducting her own search and went to work,... DO NOT EXIST

1)Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzales 25yr old, 1/2 Puerto Rican & 1/2 Black, "10" who's family has money, was a Nanny who worked for FREE or was paid handsomely depending on who Casey was trying to impress and had a Seasonal Universal Work ID, and lives at apt 210 Sawgrass Apartments..

2 & 3) Jeffrey Michael Hopkins and son Zachary, (boyfriend)
4 & 5)Jeffrey' mother in Jacksonville and his sister (married)

6 & 7)Juliette Lewis(co-worker) & her daughter Annabelle

8 & 9)Zanny's mother Gloria & stepfather Victor,

10,11 & 12) Zanny's older sister Samantha and her kids,

13 & 14) Raquel Ferrel (TFI Friday employee) & Jennifer Rosa(ABC Distirubuting Catalog Orlando) Zanny's roommates (both apparently had a lot of money like Zanny)

Universal fake bosses, supervisors and fake emails Lee found on the computer;

15) Tom Manley (supervisor of events)
16) Thomas Franck (Event Coordinator, East Coast Operations).
17) Cheryl Davis (East Coast VP, Marketing and Sales)
18) Katherine Hart (HR Manager, Universal Studios, Florida)
19) Gabe Marsh,
20) Michael Hamilton,


Now that's a long list of "Bunbery's" (The Importance of Being Earnest)

One word: Staggering!

 

[bananarama]

Respectfully Quoted.

See this ties into the kicker for me.

The kicker is her written statement. I am not 100% certain when she wrote it, so if anyone can recall if it was before or AFTER the universal trip, but regardless. THIS IS HER SWORN STATEMENT TO THE POLICE. And almost all of it is a complete fabrication. EVEN THE PEOPLE SHE MENTIONS IN HER SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT are fabrications. So your kid is legitimately missing and the cops want you to write down what HAPPENED so they can find her... you A, tell the truth cause you didnt hurt your kid, or B, you make up a web of lies and ficitonary people and profess it to be the truth?! WHO DOES THAT OTHER THAN a murderess who is completely in denial and out of touch with reality?

Can the SA use this in their opening statement, please?

 

[bananarama]

1) The 911 calls. These three calls are what set this who case in motion. From 911 call #1 we have an angry Cindy who wants her then 22-year-old daughter arrested for "grand theft." We have Cindy threatening Casey with going to child services and Casey asking for "one more day" when Cindy, in her own words, had already given Casey a month. Call #2 we have a clearly frustrated Cindy Anthony who still wants Casey arrested for auto theft and credit card theft, but we also learn that there is a possible missing child. On 911 call #3, the most important call of the three, we learn that Casey's car smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car. We learn, from Casey herself, that Caylee Marie has been missing for 31 days. That a woman, who had been Caylee's babysitter for the past year and a half, almost two years, by the name of Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, had taken Caylee Marie Anthony 31 days ago. We also learn that Caylee had been doing her own investigation.

2) Casey Anthony's written statement -

On June 9th, 2008 between 9am-1pm, I Casey Anthony took my daughter Caylee Marie Anthony to her nanny’s apartment. Caylee will be 3-years-old on August 9th, 2008. She was born August 9th, 2005. Caylee is about 3 feet tall, white female with shoulder-length brown hair. She has dark hazel eyes (brown/green) and a small birthmark on her left shoulder. She was wearing a pink shirt, jean shorts, white sneakers, and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

On Monday June 9th, 2008 between 9am and 1pm, I took Caylee to the Sawgrass Apartments located on Conway Rd. Caylee’s nanny, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzlez is twenty-five-years-old, and is from New York. She is roughly 5 foot 7 inches tall, 140lbs. She has dark brown, curly hair, and brown eyes. Zenaida’s birthday is in September. I met Zenaida through a mutual friend, Jeffrey Michael Hopkins. She has watched his son, Zachary Hopkins for about 6 months to a year. I met Zenaida in 2004, around Christmas.

On the date listed above, June 9th, 2008, after dropping Caylee off at Zenaida’s apartment I proceeded to head to my place of employment Universal Studios Orlando. I have worked at Universal for over 4 years, since June of 2004. I Left work around 5pm and went back to the apartment to pick up my daughter. However, after reaching the apartment I realized that neither Zenaida, Caylee, or her two roommates were home. I have briefly met Raquel Farrell and Jennifer Rosa on various occasions. After calling Zenaida to see where she and Caylee were, and when they were coming home. I waited outside of the apartment - I had called Zenaida earlier that morning, prior to bringing Caylee over for the afternoon. When I called her that afternoon her phone was no longer in service. Two hours had passed, and around 7pm I left the apartment, and headed to familiar places that Zenaida would go with Caylee. One of Caylee’s favorite places is Jay Blanchard Park. I spend the rest of that evening pacing and worrying at one of the few places I felt “at home.” My boyfriend Anthony Lazzaro’s apartment.

For the past four weeks, since Caylee’s disappearance, I have stayed at Anthony’s apartment, in Sutton Place. I have spent everyday since Monday, June 9th, 2008 looking for my daughter. I have lied and stolen from friends and family to do whatever I could by any means to find my daughter. I avoided calling the police, or even notifying my own family out of fear. I have been and still am afraid of what has or may happen to Caylee. I have not had any contact with Zenaida since Thursday June 12th, 2008. I received a quick call from Zenaida. Not once have I been able to ask her for my daughter or gain any information on where I can find her. Everyday I have gone to malls, parks, any place I could remember Zenaida talking Caylee. I have gone out, and tried to find any information about Caylee, or Zenaida. Whether by going to a popular bar, or restaurant. I have contacted Jeff Hopkins on several occasions to see if he had heard from or seen Zenaida. Jeff currently lives in Jacksonville, Florida.

On Thurday, July 15th, 2008, around 12pm, I received a call from my daughter, Caylee.

3) Casey's first phone call home after she was arrested on a whim. This is Casey Marie Anthony. Before she knew anything about the Sunshine Laws. Of course she was warned that the phone call she was making was being recorded (a recording tells you this when you make the call)... she simply didn't care. She was way too concerned about getting Tony's number.

The fact that Casey was so concerned about talking to Tony because he was her "boyyyyyy-friend" and she "hadn't gotten a chance to talk to him" that day because she was arrested on a (bad word) whim... will not be lost on the jury.

Casey had not talked to Tony in what?? At the most?? 12 hours?? Give me Tony's number! Give me Tony's number! Give me Tony's number! Yet, her two-year-old baby had not been seen or heard from in 31 days and she shows nothing but contempt for anyone who has the nerve to bring Caylee's name up... for anyone to even show any compassion for a "missing" two-year-old baby is a waste to Miss Casey Anthony... a huge waste. All anyone was concerned about was Caylee... getting Caylee back... BUT WHAT ABOUT TONY'S PHONE NUMBER!! Casey didn't call to talk about CAYLEE!! She wanted TONY'S number!!

This phone call, if admissable, could very well be what gets Casey Anthony the death penalty.

4) The Blockbuster video. According to Casey Anthony, she found out that her two-year-old daughter was "taken" less than three hours before being seen at this Blockbuster. This is the same night that she claims that she was pacing back and forth, worrying about her daughter. I guess watching movies about murder/kidnappings/dead bodies put in black trash bags/and being placed inside the trunk of a car are soothing to distraught mothers of missing children. Who knew?

5) Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez - Sawgrass Apartment kidnapping - Jay Blanchard Park kidnapping - and the newer version she wrote about in her jail letters. All evidence that she does not exist... no traffic accident in Tampa, Florida. No sister named Samantha. No mother named Gloria. No step-father named Victor. No roommates Raquel and Jennifer, no ex-boyfriend Jeffery Michael Hopkins with the son Zachary Hopkins. I want the jury to see just how far Casey Anthony went to cover up her crime.

6) No Universal Studios job. Not only does it prove that Casey Anthony did not need a "nanny" because she was working... it proves that she did not have the financial means in order to pay for a "nanny." I want a jury to see just how far Casey Anthony went to show that she had this job... the emails to herself, from her boss, Tom Manly (something like that?). The neverending text messages about going to work, working late, needing a vacation, etc... The I/D card for a "Chris." The long walk down the hallway, etc...

7) All text messages between June 16th, 2008 - until she was arrested. The dead animal her dad ran over. The dead animal plastered to the frame of her car. She got rid of the smell. George's stroke. Amy moving in. Cindy moving out. FUSIAN party nights... and on and on.

8) The smell in the car... self-explanatory.

9) All forensic evidence pointing to a deceased Caylee Marie Anthony being in the trunk of Casey's car. Air samples, death-band hair, cadaver dogs, etc...

10) Dominic Casey's video searching in those woods where Caylee would ultimately be found.

11) All things related to Caylee being found. The duct tape. The Whitney Laundry bag. The black garbage bags. The Winnie the Pooh blanket.

I could go on and on and on...

Wow, riveting! I can't believe this is even going to trial.

OMG..My tears are flowing
As I read your post I felt the anguish, the terror you felt last year.
One of my children is the same age as yours.
I understand and have also experienced what happens when your child is not where they are supposed to be, and as more time goes by..the Fear, the panic that begins to grow, the anguish and terror..the thoughts that something has happened to them is truly unbearable..
God Bless you and thank you for sharing..

Wow, riveting! I can't believe this is even going to trial.

With any other experienced and ethical Attorney in charge this would not be going to trial. They would be negotiating the best plea they could come up with. Which is kind of bittersweet because she will most likely end up with the DP because she and her Atty are too arrogant to plead.

That's why my kid has had a cell phone since she was 8. I'm glad it worked out ok for you. What a scare!!

 

[Oakley]

1. “This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love . . . Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankful for all of the love and support given to her . . . ”

2. “diary of days" . . . "What is given, can be taken away. Everyone lies. Everyone dies. Life will never be easy. . . . ”

Coupled with this, Grandma Plesea's comment that Casey hated Cindy more than she loved Caylee.

AND Casey's comment (from AZLawyer's signature)

"I don`t want to be one of those thousands of parents that has to deal with the possibility ... of knowing that their child`s alive and that they`re with someone else (i.e., the mother she hated, who threatened to get legal custody of her child.) The thought of that every day makes me sick."

[strach304]

Wow, riveting! I can't believe this is even going to trial.

Casey Anthony is in many ways a lot like Scott Peterson. It's all or nothing. I think they both think way too much of themselves and their lawyers.

 

[Oakley]

Hello all, I'm new to posting but have been reading since Sept 08. Just want to let you know how much I enjoy you all.
Duct Tape
Not reporting Caylee missing
The JC Penny receipt
The id pulled out of Casey's wallet "esp if it was ZG"
Smell of decomposition
To many to list but thought I would bring up a couple of forgotten ones

WELCOME!!!


OMG I love your hat!

That's why my kid has had a cell phone since she was 8. I'm glad it worked out ok for you. What a scare!!

Yes! Cell phones are great for kids... problem is, not everyone can afford this luxury of added security. So sad. My niece has had a cell phone for as long as I can remember (she's 16 now) and I ran across a slight kink in the system when she was around 10-years-old.

My younger niece was an infant, so as a favor to my sister, I used to pick my 10-year-old niece up from the bus stop every day. We all lived in the same neighborhood so it was a simple task.

Well one day I waited and waited and waited. I was okay for the first 10 minutes... then 20 minutes came and I started to get that sick feeling in my stomach, by 30 minutes I was on the phone with my sister and she called the school to see if my nieces bus had been running late... it had left on time and they had no answers as to why the bus was running so late so they told my sister to call the Department of Transportation... which she did... NO ANSWER and no one ever did answer the phone. She called the school back and there was NO ANSWER... everyone had gone home... so it seemed?

My sister had no other choice but to call the police because now it was going on an hour... she didn't call 911... just the police who had no reports of an accident. It was well over an hour before the bus showed up and I was livid!! Livid at my niece who didn't use her cell phone to call and let us know that they were stuck in traffic (I-75) and because the bus (substitute driver) had gone through the route backwards... she tells me... "We're not allowed to use our cell phones on the bus." Which I understand 100%... but I would think they would make exceptions to this rule when the bus is running so late? But they didn't... and I have no idea if they made any changes after my sister complained (she wasn't the only parent who complained)? I guess the only thing positive about that day was that my niece was good at following the rules of bus safety? It was very traumatic and the worry doesn't stop when they can finally drive themselves. :banghead:

You all did an awesome job. Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the tattoo really irked me.

Casey got it on July 2, two weeks after Caylee was last seen, and two weeks before she was reported missing, Bobby Lee Williams gave Casey Anthony the tattoo. Williams said he did'nt get the feeling that Casey Anthony was looking for a child or worried her. Williams completed the tattoo that read, "bella vida" or "beautiful life. Williams said he can't believe now, that the woman who seemed so carefree during that tattooing session, now claims she was desperately searching for her daughter, Caylee, during that same time period.

This is my first posting on WS so I hope I follow the rules properly...

Just this past week, I replayed all of KC's interviews with LE and she said she "reported my phone was lost 9 days ago" and I thought to myself the gall of this creature to tell them how many “days ago” she reported the missing phone to the police but not her missing daughter. It was after she said that when she added “Or I might have left it on my desk at Universal”.

Welcome aboard! :clap:
Your post should be framed and hung in ICA's cell.
It does illustrate exactly the relative importance ICA placed on her phone vs her daughter, doesn't it?

 

[LolaMoon08]

I thought Casey reported her phone missing to Universal Studios Security?

But, I have been thinking a lot lately... about the "key" conversation Casey and Cindy had in one of her jail visits. There was a key (that looked like a mailbox key) found close to where Caylee's remains were found... possibly the exact location. There is a picture somewhere and I can not find it at all. The key was attached to what looked like a plastic thinga-ma-bobber that had the letter "B" written on it.

I know that the Hopespring home does not have an actual mailbox. The neighborhood has to go and get their mail, much like you have to when you live in an apartment complex. It would be nice to know how these boxes are numbered... or lettered.

We know that Amy H. had sent her camera to the Anthony home because she had planned on living there... so I am wondering if Casey had taken a copy of the mailbox key in order to try and get the camera before Cindy could?

Which brings me to the conversation Cindy and Casey had. Cindy was the one who brought up "Did anyone have a key to the house" conversation... and Casey replied "I told you Zanny had a key." Or something close to that. I found this conversation to be extremely weird... almost like Cindy was leading Casey into having an explanation for anyone to have access to the Anthony home besides the Anthony's themselves.

We've never gotten any information about this key that was found... so it might be meaningless... but what if it wasn't? What if it was the key to their mailbox that Casey had dropped somehow? Could Cindy have noticed the key missing... and we know how Cindy likes to believe that Amy could be code for Zanny... and Amy being Zanny had access to the Anthony home... and Amy being Zanny had a camera delivered to the Anthony home... and maybe Casey gave Amy the copy of the mailbox key, as Zanny of course, so she could retrieve her mail...

Just thinking aloud here... but the key that was found near the remains and the key conversation with Cindy and Casey has always bothered me?
