Casey Anthony Timeline--Revised September 18, 2008

Timeline as of September 18, 2008

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


June 24 2004 Casey began work at Kodak or Universal studios. End date Nov 26 2005.

November 2004 Casey becomes pregnant. No one seems to know who the father is, and I doubt that Casey knows, either.

December 2004 around Christmas; this is the date Casey says she first met Zenaida Fernandez-Gongalez the nanny, through Jeff Hopkins who supposedly used her as his babysitter.

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

August 2005 DNA tests show Jesse could not possibly be Caylee's father. Throughout that summer, however, she avowed to Jesse being the father, spending time with his family, Sunday dinners, to the point where there was great disappointment in the Grund family when the DNA evidence showed someone else as the bio father.

November 26 2005 Casey is fired from Kodak or Universal. Begin date June 24 2004.

June 2007 there-about, Casey met Ricardo Morales and Amy Huizenga and their pals at a birthday party for a past friend Lauren. I believe Lauren and Amy were roommates at the house in Oveida. 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. Has a degree in theater, works as waitress to pay the bills.

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

January 2008 Ryan Pasley who grew up with Casey, says he hung out with Casey about every other day. He doesn’t say when or what time period. Caylee was with them 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, i.e. 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 14 2008 Casey and Ricardo stop seeing each other. He says it just petered out. He said they remained friends and he likes Caylee, who has a favorite Teddy bear she named Teddy and a cloth bodied baby doll with a plastic head named Mama, and she liked to play his drums. She sleeps over occasionally. Amy lives there too. Amy said Ric is not very "ambivalent" which I take to mean not too emotional one way or the other, and was undecided as to his and Casey's relationship.

April 20, 8:04 am to web post to The Quadruple Tripler (Donny Wells): hey yourself. I've been good...with the exception of the last 4 days. Seriously, the sickest I've been since before high school :( what's new? The last time i saw you, we literally ran into each other downtown.

So, Casey stops going to Ric's on April 14 and had to go home, so she probably played sick beginning April 16 and moped in bed at home so someone else would take care of Caylee. It was about this time she met Lazzaro on-line.

May 21 2008 Casey met Anthony Lazzaro at a party, after having conversed on-line at Facebook for some time.

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 4 2008 Casey on MySpace or Facebook to Donny Wells: So are you home yet, or what?

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 became familiar later because she used it as an outcry witness and we now know he had 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 at Ricardo’s. Tony 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 (to unknown, looks like MySpace or Facebook). 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 Casey claims to have spoken to Zenaida on the phone on June 12 but ZG would not tell Casey where Caylee is. Info from meowse. But…this was before she had even gone missing…could it have been July 12?

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 Cristina Chester recalls herself, Casey and Caylee taking a walk, between 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm.

June 13 Friday Roy House, Lazzaro’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 Lazzaro. 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. A confrontation between Great Grandma and Cindy occured at the facility because G-Grams wanted Casey held responsible for the thiefs against her and the nursing home, and instead, Geo and Cindy just paid them back and talked the nursing home into not filing charges. This must have sparked the argument at home between G-parents and Casey.

June 15 In the evening, Cindy and Casey used the pool. After the argument? 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 Anthony, Casey and Caylee leave the house at 12:50 pm. Casey was wearing gray dress slacks and a white dress shirt and carried a dark blue backpack. Caylee is wearing blue-jean shorts, a pink blouse and her sunglasses with white frames. She also has a white and pink 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 Lazzaro
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. Tony says Casey stayed with him from June 10 until

June 16 Casey’s boyfriend Tony told investigators that Casey was not in a panic, not searching for her daughter. She spent that night with him.

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 17 Tuesday A Zenaida Gongalez filled out a guest registration card at the Sawgrass apartments to look at unit 210. Casey claims she left Caylee with ZG at the bottom of the stairs leading to apartment 210, because ZG was hanging out downstairs, but that she had left her at the apartment many times. I saw an image of the registration somewhere on the web, and for the life of me would not be able to make out the name from the scrawled signature. The workers at the apartment building say the woman was definitely Hispanic, was NOT Casey Anthony, and did not rent the apt. So, how did Casey make the connection between ZG and apt 210?

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

June 18 1:30 to 2:30pm The neighbor Brian Burner told LE that Casey had asked to borrow a shovel on the same day he saw her backing the car into the garage. He said the "week of the 16th." (pg 310) Note the time—she calls to make sure no one is home, then between 1:11 and 1:30 backs in the garage and borrows a shovel.

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. So Casey was looking for apartments for Tony? That would explain why she was at Sawgrass on the 17th. She was checking Sawgrass out for Tony and Zani's guest card, which is a normal 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, was lying on the counter. Caylee was already dead, Casey was forming her story...maybe she was intrigued by the name...

June 19 Thursday, Casey’s Facebook comments to Troy on the 19th at 3:57 pm 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 19th, 2008 at 9:09pm Casey Anthony wrote: until 2. I’ll be there all night.

June 20, Friday, 2008 15:46 you’re online!!! come out to fusion tonight…mandatory attendance Alexander Ryans.

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.

June 21st Saturday, 6:43pm on MySpace: good times last night!

June 21 about here, Casey ran into Jeff Hopkins II, a high-school acquaintance she had not seen since high-school, nor since the chance meeting.

June 21st 7:02pm Casey wrote to “little one” on MySpace: Oh yes I know! haha. you’re amazing girly! Looking forward to the all white party this weekend.

Between June 30 and July 6, Casey asked Jesse if she could come over and use his shower, that she didn’t want to use her parents and her boyfriend was out of town. Jesse’s statement said June 22 to July 6, but we now know Tony didn’t leave for NY until June 30.

June 22 11:58 From Casey on Facebook: Wow. What a night. Seriously, I'm never living that one down.

June 22 6:00pm Sunday, when George Anthony is sure he locked the shed.

June 22 7:29pm From Casey (not sure who to) on MySpace: it’s been ages I’ll give you a call this week.

June 22 7:36pm from Casey on Facebook: fusion was so fun lol...we need to go again for sure!

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 broken into, two gas cans stolen by unknown thief. George makes a police report. Casey comes to the house without Caylee to get some clothes, and Casey tells George “it’s too bad what happened in the shed”. Later George needs a tool from Casey’s trunk and finds the gas cans in the trunk.

June 24 Cindy is very angry and tells Casey she wants the car back and that she wants Caylee brought home.

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; he had quit his job as a police officer on that same day and he said he heard Caylee in the background. He later said he wasn’t SURE he heard Caylee. He notifies LE and gives statement that Casey is a habitual liar, and that on June 25 he received a call from Casey A asked him to come to Fusion and that Caylee was at the beach all weekend. The upcoming weekend was June 28/29, when Tony Lazzaro was about to leave (on Monday) for New York on vacation.

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?

Jun 25 2008 3:35 PM from Casey to Alex on MySpace: come to orlando friday!!!! i miss your happy ass, plus, you need to join me for a few beverages, and the ALL WHITE PARTY, at fusian. i never asked…do you like sushi?? get at me brotha!

June 27 Friday, some time before 7:00 am Casey abandoned the White Pontiac in front of Amscot, a Check Cashing Business. Anthony picked her up from from Amscot store at about 7:00 am. She told Tony her dad was going to take care of it. 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 trying to confuse the crime scene?

June 30 Monday Tony Lazzaro leaves for New York. Returns July 5.

June 30 Monday The car Casey had been driving is towed at 9:00 am from the Amscot store on Goldenrod Road and Colonial Drive by Johnson’s Towing Co. Casey said later it had run out of gas and she had help pushing it into a parking stall next to a dumpster.

July 2 1:01am Casey to Tony’s sisters (in NY) Facebook: take care of your brother. it's sad...but i can't wait for him to come back home.

July 2 2008 at 1:46pm Casey Anthony wrote to Troy on Facebook: you taking a cab tonight? She has already dumped her car and Tony is in NY. She's trying to get a ride?

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 2 Richard Morales and JP Chatt go to Puerto Rio for a vacation. Amy had been rooming with Ric for about 2 months, waiting to move in with Casey at the Anthony's Hope Spring Dr house. Amy joins them July 8.

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 3 Casey texts Jesse Grund to tell him not to talk to her parents if they should call him. Interesting in that in one of the jail house phone calls between Casey and Lee (7/26 or 7/30), she is telling Lee not to trust Jesse. I think the Anthony's and Grund need to sit down and compare notes. There is a reason she doesn't want them to talk.

July 5 10:12am Casey to Tony’s NY sister: i'm going to prove to your brother how much of a dork i really am....i ABSOLUTELY can't wait to see him today hope you guys had fun while he was home.<3 July 5 Friends reported Casey celebrated Independence Day with her boyfriend Tony Lazzaro. She partied and cooked dinner for him and his roommate, they took photos.

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. He said Caylee was in Sanford, Florida with the nanny.

July 7 Casey claims that she reported one of her phones missing, the one with Zani's number programmed in. If she "reported it", who did she report it to, if she just lost it, as she told Lee? Is she saying she reported the loss of the phone to the police, but said nothing about her little girl? Or to Universal, where she didn’t work?

July 7 Monday (exactly 2 weeks since June 16, Caylee’s last day…) Casey Anthony posted this poem from American Psycho 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 9:00 am Casey drives Amy to the airport and has permission to use the car for the week Amy was on vacation.

July 8, Tuesday, 2008 at 9:31am Casey Anthony wrote to Amy on Facebook: Oh Puerto Rico….has stolen my friends. We shall be reunited shortly.

July 8 2008 On this date Casey wrote the first of checks on Amy’s checking account, per Orange County Clerk of Courts website. July 8 is the offense date Aug 30 is the arrest date. As soon as Amy was gone, on that very day, Casey stole all of her money.

July 9, Wednesday, Tony was out of town so Casey spent the night at Ricardo and JP’s apt.

July 10 Thursday, 9:12pm Jesse Grund’s Updates on his Facebook “Jesse will be moving again in August…to Georgia!

July 10 Casey wrote to “little one” on MySpace you’re the best adopted little sister ever! we need a new picture tonight ”July 10 Casey writes several more checks off of Amy’s account at two Target stores.

Jul 10 2008 11:47 PM From Casey to Red Fuzzy Balloonsoh my sexy boys. i love fuzzy red balloons!

July 13 7:36 am Casey wrote to “little one ”on MySpace, you little hoochie! where are “our” new pictures????

July 13 Sunday at 9:34 am on, 2008 Casey Anthony wrote to Chris Stutz on Facebook:happy birthday love!!!!

July 14, Monday, 10:10 pm From Casey to Ricardo Morales. She sent a video to this user about drums because he is a drum player it is by killer chops tv on you tube.

July 8-15 Casey drove Amy’s car when Amy went to Puerto Rico for a vacation with Ricardo and JP Chatt.

July 15, Tuesday. The car found abandoned is picked up by the Anthony family from the wrecker company. Simon Birch, manager at the wrecker yard, noticed the stench coming from the vehicle both on June 30 when it was originally towed, and when he brought it up to George Anthony. They left and he picked up the car several hours later. One tow lot employee overheard him say something to the effect of his daughter wouldn't let him see his granddaughter, and the tow guy who went to the car with him was told something to the effect of his daughter HAD been missing but his granddaughter was still missing. They get to the car, and open it and tow guy says it smells horrible…met with TOTAL silence from George. They opened the trunk and flies flew out and they find a bag of trash with some pizza and some maggots, etc.; the bag is thrown over the fence AT THE TOW YARD by the tow guy BUT it WAS collected into evidence from there (so NOT at the Anthony home like George claimed earlier) George sees the gas gauge is on empty and says, oh, I have gas in my car. This is interesting to me, that George didn't try to start the car, just looked at the gas gauge, which Casey had said was broken. The tow yard wouldn't know if it was out of gas, they didn't have a key to it. The only time we hear of the car being out of gas is from Casey's statement that it was pushed into the lot because it was out of gas. He puts in gas and leaves. George said the smell of decomposition was so bad they drove home with all the windows open. Did George talk to Casey between the time it was towed on the 30th and the day George picked it up, on July 15?

July 15 Sometime after George picked up the car and before he went to work, he used some kind of cleaning solution on the trunk interior.

July 15 abt 12 noon, Casey says she received a phone call from “personal call” and spoke to Caylee herself, but was then disconnected. Phone records later show no call was made in or out at any time around noon

July 15, Tuesday at 2:30 pm Casey picks up Amy Huizenga at the airport in Amy’s car. Earlier in the day she wrote one final check for cash from Amy H’s checking account.

July 15, Casey returns to Cast Iron Tattoos between 2:00 and 4:00 pm and makes an appointment for herself and a friend at the tattoo parlor for July 19, 2008, the next Saturday.

July 15, 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 phone number in the car and called her; Amy told Cindy that Casey was at Tony Lazzaro’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 account had been emptied of $600+, not to mention that in the past, $400 in cash Casey stole from her then convinced Amy that she had sleepwalked and hidden it.

July 15 about 7:30 pm Cindy picked up Amy at a mall she was at and Amy showed her where Tony lived, where Casey was at the time. They compared lots of notes on the way and Amy found out the whole "moving into the Anthony house" deal was bogus.

July 15, at 8:00 pm per Tony Lazzaro, Cindy, with Amy, 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.

July 15 George didn't answer at least one call from Cindy on the evening of the 15th, nor does he come home the first time she asks him to, and twice he tries to send Lee to go to her. George arrives home at 9:50pm. Ten minutes later police are called.

July 15 to 16 Sometime between the 15th and 16th, Casey removed over 200 photos and almost four months worth of messages from her MySpace and Facebook pages (Jesse Grund). Most everyone who knew her got a text message or middle of the night phone call or missed call telling them essentially Caylee was missing for 31 days, etc.

July 15 I think we have all heard the 1st, 2nd and 3rd 911 calls. Insert here.

July 15 While they were waiting for the police, Casey and Cindy got onto MySpace to contact all her friends to “get the word out”. She said she called the police around 10:00.

July 15 The Sheriff’s Office is notified that Caylee Anthony has been missing since June 16. Police report from Casey: Casey Anthony said that on June 9, she dropped Caylee off at a babysitter who lived at the Sawgrass Apartments She said between 9:00am and 1:00pm in her affidavit, but George said they left the house at 12:50pm. 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 11:38 pm 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?

July 16 Five minutes after midnight, Jeff Hawkins, a friend of Jesse Grund, called him and told him Caylee was missing and there was a big to-do going on at the Anthony’s house. Jesse calls her cell and a policeman answered.

July 15 Jesse texts Casey 9:39 to ask what happened. She says Caylee has been missing 32 days now, that the babysitter has her.

July 16 9:42 am mass e-mail to everyone in her addy, plus out-cry on MySpace. In a response to a text message from Brittany Schieber, Casey says to keep an eye out for a Silver four-door Ford Focus.

July 16 Wednesday, Casey Anthony is arrested after taking the police to phony addresses and lying continuously, making up imaginary people and places.

July 16 Tony Lazzaro’s house was searched early in the morning. Amy tells Tony Lazzaro about the theft. Tony encourages Amy to contact detective Yuri Melich. Amy calls LE and tells them what she knows.

July 16 Police begin to debunk the Zanaida Fernandez-Gonzales story, as well as the Universal “Event planner” tale. While at Universal, Yuri Melich called Casey on her cell phone to ask for her story again, and put his phone on speaker so all could hear her answer.

July 17 Casey Anthony is officially charged with child neglect, lying to investigators and interfering with a criminal investigation. The judge denies bond because she showed a “woeful disregard for the welfare of her child.”

July 17 In the angry phone call from Casey in jail to her house, she berates her mother, is rude to her friend Christine who breaks down crying, and just wants Lee to get Tony’s phone number off of her cell phone. She rants, "Everyone is only worried about Caylee, that's all they care about," before she catches herself and says, “and you know what? That's all I want too.”

July 17 Thursday, The Sheriff’s office starts to search the backyard of the Anthony house, with family consent. Cadaver dogs hit twice in the back yard in a slight depression at the far side of the pool and in the trunk of the car Casey was driving. A second dog confirmed the findings.

July 17 The Sheriff’s Office takes possession of the car and finds evidence of possible human decomposition. Samples were taken for DNA analysis.

July 17 Casey Anthony cell phone records subpoenaed.

July 17, 2008 12:05 AM Written to Lee on MySpace from MayFizzle: With great love from the Mayfield Family! Erika, Karla, Carlos, and The Fizz.

July 19 2008 5:36 AM (To Lee) from MayFizzle Caylee! Always on my mind! I miss the whole fam! So, next time I see ya George, Cindy, Lee, Casey, and Caylee hugs r on me!

July 21 Anthony Lazzaro’s cell phone records subpoenaed.

July 21 Anthony house searched per warrant for DNA samples, toothbrush, thermometer used by Caylee, hair brush. LE took strands of hair from Casey at the jail, and I heard on an early interview with police that they took a lawn/trash bag.

July 24 Cindy Anthony tells the media that Caylee has been sighted in Georgia with someone who is heading to Charlotte, North Carolina. Police investigate the tip but find no evidence to substantiate the claim.
