Casey Anthony Timeline -- Tentative

Please go here for the latest updated timeline: Anthony Timeline, Aug 26, 2009

Summer 2005 Casey tells ex-fiance Jesse Grund that she is pregnant with his baby. Jesse is willing to accept responsiblity, but requests a DNA test at Caylee's birth.

August 2005 DNA tests show Jesse could not possibly be Caylee's father.

June 2007 there-about, Casey met Ricardo Morales and Amy Huizenga and their pals at a birthday party. Amy left for six months to work a cruise ship and when she came back in December, Casey was hanging with her people. (Note about Amy: she hired-on in the entertainment dept of the cruise line and ended up just setting-up and breaking-down for various bands.)

August 2007 Ricardo Morales moved from Jacksonville FL to Orlando for employment reasons.

January 2008 Ryan Pasley says they hung out (with Casey) about every other day. Caylee was there about a third of the time, the rest of the time Casey said she was with her parents or the nanny who had a Caucasian name like Krista or Kristen. When prompted by police said Christina sounded more like it. He said he saw Casey on and off until the end of May.

February 2008 Casey and Amy became friends on a steady basis, ie calls/texts, etc., by Feb 2008.

February 23 2008 Casey and Ricardo start seriously dating, with Casey sleeping over many times and Caylee sleeping with them when she was there.

April 15 2008 on or about, Casey and Ricardo stop seeing each other. He says it just petered out. He said he likes, who Caylee had a favorite Teddy bear she named Mama and a cloth bodied baby doll with a plastic head.

May 21 2008 Casey met Anthony Lazzaro on-line.

June 2 2008 Anthony Lazzaro last saw Caylee on this date at the swimming pool of his apartment complex. It was the last of only a few times he had seen Caylee at all.

June 4 Wednesday, at 7:33 am Casey Anthony wrote to Amy on Facebook: oh, the times we will have! i can’t wait for us to become roomies in another week! seriously… by the end of next week, it will be just us girls. i can’t believe it! Author’s note: Casey had been telling Amy that her parents were splitting up and moving out and she was going to get the house and Amy could move in with her there on Hope Spring Drive. That is a pretty bold lie. I wonder if she ever pondered killing her parents to make it look like homicide/suicide so she could have the house. Just a thought.

June 4th Wednesday, at 12:12 pm Casey Anthony wrote to Amy on Facebook: si!!! good times to be had, from tonight, until, well, forever. what time do you think you’re getting done tonight????

June 7 Saturday, at 9:04 am Casey Anthony wrote to Amy on Facebook: i’m so glad you’re ok! seriously, you scared the life right out of me! i love you girl.

June 8-14 Casey told Cindy that during this time Casey took a mini-vacation with Jeff Hopkins. Author’s note: His name is familiar because she used it later as an outcry witness and we now know he has not seen Casey since high-school except for once, a few weeks before Caylee disappeared when they ran into each other at a restaurant and said cursory hello’s; the Anthonys asked the Hopkins family not to talk to reporters.

June 9 Casey and Caylee spent their last night with Ricardo Morales. Anthony Lazzaro states that Casey lived with him June 9 through July 16, the day she was arrested. Caylee was not there with them, Casey repeated saying she was with the nanny or grandparents.

June 9 From Casey (not sure how or to who, but looks like MySpace maybe)
Hey baby! I hope NY is treating you right. Question!!!!! do you know any local girls, that can sing? my boyfriend Tony, and his business partners are looking for an up and coming female R&B artist let me know!!! i miss you!

June 9 - June 15 Casey Anthony told Cindy that she was going to work every day, Casey was really just holed up at Tony Lazzaro’s apartment.

Jun 12 6:41 AM from Casey to Jeff Hopkins
(Fusion poster was here)
you guys should definitely check it out! cover is only $5. there’s going to be live artists, a full bar, and an album release that you shouldn’t miss! hope to see you out there!

Jun 12 9:14 AM From Casey (not sure to who) so i’m thinking, you should bring your happy ass back into orlando tomorrow night, for a BADASS hip hop showcase/album release party. google the address on the poster, on my MySpace page. i’d love to see you out there!

June 12 George Anthony says Caylee was spotted by friends of the Anthony family in a shopping area near the Orange-Seminole county lines. She was wearing a pink and blue outfit and white-rimmed sunglasses.

Jun 12 7:54 PM From Casey (not sure to who) sounds good hun.

June 12 or 13 Kristina Chester recalls herself, Casey and Caylee taking a walk, between 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm.

June 13 Friday Roy House, Lazarro’s roommate says he saw Caylee on June 13 at the Fusion bar with her mother, when Casey attended a party thrown by House and Lazarro. It was noted because several people noticed and commented that it was inappropriate to have Caylee there.
I think this is important, that Casey was told by her friends that Caylee shouldn't be at a night club on Friday night, three days before Caylee goes missing. Why didn't she have a babysitter on that night, if they were so freely available?

June 14-15 Anthony’s neighbors report loud argument at the Anthony’s house over the fathers day weekend.

June 15 Caylee and Cindy visited Cindy’s father at 12:00 noon at Nursing Home. Last photo’s of Caylee taken, time taken from camera.

June 15 In the evening, Cindy and Casey used the pool. When they got out, Cindy remembers moving the stairs away from the pool.

June 16 Monday, Cindy goes to work sometime in the morning.

June 16 Per George Anthonly, Casey and Caylee leave the house at 1:50 pm. Casey is wearing gray dress slacks and a white dress shirt. Caylee is wearing a blue-jean skirt, a pink blouse and her sunglasses with white frames. She also has a white Dora the Explorer backpack and her cloth-bodied baby doll.

June 16 George leaves the house at 2:30 to go to work.

June 16 Interesting flurry of phone calls from Casey’s cell phone on this day as follows:
3:03 to dad’s cell
4:10 to mom’s work
4:11 to mom’s cell
4:13 to mom’s cell
4:14 to mom’s work
4:19 to Tony Lazarro
4:21 to Jesse Grund
4:24 mom’s cell
6:32 mom at home
6:33 home voicemail
7:06 mom at home
7:20 Amy

June 16 Cindy returns home from work and finds the pool ladder is attached to the pool and the fence gate is open.

June 16 Per Amy H official statement, Casey spent June 16 thru July 4 with Tony Lazzaro, July 4-8 with Amy Huizenga at Ricardo Morales apartment, then July 9 thru 15 with Tony.

June 16 Casey’s boyfriend Tony told investigators that she was not in a panic, not searching for her daughter.

June 17 1:30 to 2:30pm The neighbor Brian Burner told LE that Casey had asked to borrow a shovel.

June 17 Tuesday, at 3:15pm Casey Anthony wrote on Facebook to Amy: cheer up me lady! i love you and can’t wait to finally get you moved in.

June 18 Wednesday, another flurry of phone calls that could mean nothing, or could mean something.
12:33 to home
12:34 to mom’s cell
12:35 to home
12:36 to dad’s cell
1:09 to mom’s cell
1:11 to home
These phone calls look to me like she is just trying to find out where everyone is so she doesn't get caught in the act of whatever.

June 18 Casey was witnessed by same neighbor backing her car up to the garage.

June 19 Casey introduces Tony Lazzaro to Matthew Crisp. Tony wants to rent from Crisp and get out of his current lease. Caylee was not with them, Casey was in good spirits.

June 19 Thursday, Casey’s Facebook comments to Troy on the 19th at 3:57pm: you, ric and dave should definitely come out tomorrow night. i’ll give you a buzz later. i haven’t see you in ages!

June 20 Casey’s facebook comments to Chris Tutz, Friday, at 2:36pm Casey Anthony (Orlando, FL) wrote: trying to get back in shape?! how about you come and hang out with me tonight, at Fusian!!!! call me!

June 20, Friday Big bash at Fusion—photo’s taken. Casey say’s she was “working” there. The club owners say she was an unpaid “promo” girl, hot chicks that get free drinks to hang out and be friendly and draw a crowd.

Jun 23 2008 Monday, 12:40 AM From Casey to Lee: here’s my question…is ‘the windy city’ an appropriate nickname for chicago? is it really THAT windy? i’ve always wondered.

June 23 on or about, Cindy Anthony calls Ryan Pasley, while he was in class, and warns him of Casey’s erratic behavior, her having stolen money from Cindy and Cindy’s mother, and she tells him she thinks Casey is a sociopath.

Jun 24 10am Tuesday: Shed at family home found having been broken into, 2 gas cans stolen by unknown thief. George makes a police report. Casey tells George “it’s too bad what happened in the shed”. Later George needs a tire tool from Casey’s trunk and finds the gas cans in the trunk. So, on the 24th Casey visited home without Caylee.

June 24 2008 at 2:40pm Casey Anthony (Orlando, FL) wrote to troy on Facebook: she still has yet to move into the house. hell, in the past 9 days, i haven’t even been living at the house. DRAMMMMMA. i’ll fill ya in later on. miss ya, yo.

June 24 2008 at 2:46 Amy Huizenga (Orlando, FL) to Troy on Facebook wrote: I’m still at Ricardo and JPs… hopefully everything works out soon! Hey, so I forwarded my mail a little late… any idea how to get my insurance stuff that got mailed to the Oviedo house?

June 25 Wednesday, Casey called Jesse Grund on the phone and he said he heard Caylee in the background. He later said he wasn’t SURE he heard Caylee. He notified LE and gave a statement. On June 25 he received a call from Casey A who told him she was free the upcoming weekend and did he want to spend the weekend together.

This is also the day Jesse said he resigned from his job in LE (per his employment recorded on his signed statement; but later found out he was fired for not revealing he had a relationship with Casey A)

Jun 25 2008 10:36 AM From Casey (not sure to who) on MySpace: hey girly! long time. are you going to be in orlando this weekend?

June 27 Friday, Casey abandoned the White Pontiac in front of Amscot, a Check Cashing Business. Tony Lazarro picked her up from from Amscot store. She left her purse in clear view on the front seat; the child seat was still in the backseat. Author’s ponder: did she leave the purse in the car to try to entice someone to steal it or the whole car, thus confusing the crime scene?

June 30 Monday Tony Lazarro leaves for New York. Returns July 4.

June 30 Monday, The car Casey had been driving is towed from the Amscot store on Goldenrod Road and Colonial Drive by Johnson’s Towing Co.

July 2 2008 at 1:46pm Casey Anthony wrote to Troy on Facebook: you taking a cab tonight?

July 2 at about 12:00pm noon, Casey went to Cast Iron Tattoo’s and got “Bella Vida” (Italian for Beautiful Life) tattoo’d on her shoulder.

July 3 Cindy posted this on MySpace Thursday, July 03, 2008: my caylee is missing She came into my life unexpectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don’t know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankfull for all of the love and support given to her. A mother’s love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angel?

July 4 Friends reported Casey celebrated Independence Day with her boyfriend Tony Lazarro. She partied and cooked dinner for him and his roommate, they took photo’s.

July 5 on or about Casey tells friend Ryan Pasley that she has been doing drugs, smoking pot and such.

July 7 about noon, ran into Matthew Crisp at the Subway Shop. She said Caylee was in Sanford, Florida with the nanny.

July 7. Monday (exactly 2 weeks since June 16, Caylee’s last day…) Casey Anthony wrote these lines from "American Psyco", that she called the Diary of Days, which was posted on July 7
It reads, in part:
“On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken
Trust no one, Only yourself.
With great power, comes great consequence.
What is given, Can be taken away.
Everyone Lies.
Everyone Dies.”

July 8 before 9:00am Casey drives Amy to the airport and has permission to use the car for the week Amy was on vacation.

July 15, Tuesday, at 2:30 pm Casey picks up Amy Huizenga at the airport in Amy’s car.

July 15th, 2008 at 4:02 pm Casey Anthony wrote to Amy on Facebook: so glad you’re home. i better not see you online. life is on hold until tomorrow

July 15 Cindy found Amy’s # in the car and called her; Amy told Cindy that Casey was at Tony Lazarro’s apartment and that Caylee was not with her.

July 15 Between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm, Amy discovered checks missing and her $300 balance gone, not to mention that in the past, $700 in cash Casey stole from her then convinced Amy that she had sleepwalked and hidden it.

July 15, About 7:30 pm, Cindy, with Amy, drove to Tonys and picked Casey up. They drove around and when Casey would not tell her where Caylee was, went to a closed police station, then back to Anthony’s house where George and Lee were.

Police report from Casey: Casey Anthony said that on June 9, she dropped Caylee off at a babysitter who lived at the Sawgrass Apartments (Somewhere I thought she said about 1:00pm, but George said they left the house at 1:50pm.) She said the babysitter’s name was Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. She got the date from her hysterical mother, who was trying to figure out the last day she saw her while in a blind panic. Date turned out to be June 16, the day after Fathers day.

July 15, 2008 at 11:38pm on Amy Huizenga wrote on facebook to “her friend”: A person who I thought was my friend stole money one night while I was sleeping and made up a story about how I got up in my sleep and put money away for the trip I was going on (I got back today, it was a great trip!). I bought that, she’s my friend, but after today I know it was her. I let her use my car while I was gone and my check book was in there. Account cleared out. Hopefully I’ll be able to get that back… but yeah… overall… about a grand. Which isn’t even the worst (for me it is…) apparently her kid has been missing for a month. She claims the nanny stole her and was too afraid to tell her mom. So, as bad as all this is, there is a little girl out there (hopefully) that I’m way worried about.Anyway, how are you?

August 30, 2008 Casey A was arrested for stealing and cashing Amy H checks. Leonard Padilla withdrew the bond he posted for her on the child neglect charges, and she was taken back to jail.

August 31, 2008 Caylee confirmed dead. Results from hair samples came back from DNA analysis and it was confirmed that the dead body that had been in the trunk of Casey's car WAS in fact, Caylee Marie Anthony.
