Audio interview http://www.wftv.com/video/25100676/index.html

"The discovery shows Orange County sheriff's investigators are concerned a Texas EquuSearch volunteer might have fabricated evidence trying to show that volunteers thoroughly searched the area where Caylee was found in September 2008. Another EquuSearch volunteer told investigators that search never happened.
These audio recordings released Tuesday could be very important in the case.
Texas EquuSearch volunteer Joe Jordan told investigators (hear interview) he felt that the defense's private investigator was trying to put words in his mouth, but he insisted that his team had never fully searched the woods where Caylee was found because it was knee deep water about five feet from the street.
Casey's defense team is claiming that EquuSearch volunteers thoroughly searched the woods off Suburban Drive months before Caylee's remains were found there in December 2008 and that they found nothing.
But the new recordings released Tuesday in the case show Jordan made it clear to investigators that he did not fully search the area in September 2008, because there was too much water. He told investigators he could only search about five feet from the road; Caylee's body was found about 20 feet from the road.
"That was the farthest we went, which was, I want to say, five to ten feet in," Jordan told investigators. "We stayed next to the road, like right in the front, and once we got in there it was too much. Because the water, the water was too much it was like knee deep at that point. When you first stepped in it, it was knee deep."
Jordan told investigators he had concerns that volunteer Laura Buchanan had falsified documents to try to show they did a full search of that area and detectives said they were looking into whether the defense's private investigator, Mortimer Smith, and Buchanan were fabricating evidence in the murder case, which would be a criminal offense."
If this woman did falsify records and the police can prove it I hope they prosecute her to the full extent of the law. This lady is going to be in a whole world of trouble.
That world of trouble is big enough to include Mort Smith and Jose Baez, too. Cozy, but big enough.

thank you so much for giving the blow by blow on that recording woe.b.gone I am at work and can't give a listen.
Would any of us be surprised if there was some document fabrication going on? That's a pretty darn serious allegation. JB could not only lose his license to practice but face criminal charges for something like that.
I am interested in hearing from you WS'ers - is this likely or possible? I have next to no respect for JB based on how he has comported himself throughout this case so far, but document fabrication is a big deal. I don't know that even I think he is THAT dumb.
Isn't this all old news? Didn't we read the transcript of this interview back in March?

Same with Tim Miller?
He is THAT ambitious, tho. Making fake documents isn't that hard to do. I can see him doing that. The man has no ethics whatsoever - at least none that he exhibits. Don't forget the man was warned about touching his client in jail. So he did it again. He's creepy. jmothank you so much for giving the blow by blow on that recording woe.b.gone I am at work and can't give a listen.

Oh, have other people heard the phone call before? I haven't.
I don't know!? I wasn't being snide, I am seriously confused...and I didn't listen to the call but from the paraphrasing it sounded just like the interview transcript released earlier. Oh no now I sound like JB whine whine there's too much stuff I can't keep it all straight Judge.

In one interview, Joe Jordan stated the water was knee-deep in September 2008, and they called off the search because the area was flooded.
Jordan told Orange County Sheriff’s investigators he obtained an attorney after secretly recording an interview he had with someone with Casey's defense team. :waitasec:?Anthony defense investigator Buchanan?
Prosecutors said the new information helps put the story together of what happened to Caylee.

Are Texas EquuSearch volunteers’ comments a setback for defense?

Kealing highlighted the comments of volunteer Joe Jordan, who searched the area with a policeman and a policeman’s dog — and the dog wasn’t allowed to go through the water.
Jordan also said another search volunteer was working for defense attorney Jose Baez’s law firm.
WFTV-Ch. 9’s Kathi Belich highlighted that the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is “looking at allegations that someone claiming to work for the defense, after volunteering for Texas EquuSearch, might have fabricated a document about the search in the woods.”
Belich said that Jose Baez, who was in Tennessee conducting depositions with scientists at the Body Farm, denied the allegation.
Casey Evidence Raises Questions About Made-Up Info

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Evidence released in the case against Casey Anthony raises new questions about whether a former TES volunteer made up evidence while working for Casey's defense team.
Now, the sheriff's office is investigating.
One EquuSearch volunteer believes another made up records indicating he searched and cleared an entire area four months before Caylee was found there, but he says he couldn't because it was knee-deep under water.
Anthony's defense team really wants to show her daughter Caylee's body was not there in the woods until after Casey was locked up without bond in October 2008 to prove someone else put Caylee's body there.
Joe Jordan says, a month before that, he brought a group to search for Caylee in the same area, but he could only get in about ten feet because, beyond that, it was under water.
"That was the farthest we went, which was, I want to say, five to ten feet in," Jordan told investigators
hear interview http://www.wftv.com/video/25100676/index.html.
But, WFTV learned he told investigators the defense might be fabricating evidence to the contrary, and the sheriff's office is looking into it.
"If there's individuals that are fabricating evidence in my case, that's criminal in nature and that needs to be investigated," sheriff's investigator Eric Edwards told Jordan.
Jordan says, a year after his search, in October 2009, he agreed to meet with a defense private investigator who tried to twist his words, using a document he believes is bogus. He says it came from a woman named Laura Buchanan, claiming to be an EquuSearch volunteer who joined the defense team.
