I was falling asleep but heard her call in. Here's part of the transcript from CNN:
GRACE: Joining me right now is a very special guest, joining us by phone is Cindy Anthony. Thank you for being with us.
ANTHONY: Hey, Nancy. I`m only here because of Holly.
GRACE: I understand. Tell us -- I can see when you are speaking on camera how much it hurt you not to go to that visitation today. Why didn`t.
ANTHONY: Absolutely. Absolutely.
GRACE: Why didn`t you go to the jail?
ANTHONY: I didn`t go to the jail because I`m protecting Caylee`s well-being. And that is.
GRACE: Can you explain to us how -- not go -- how -- and I understand you think you`re going to be overheard and it`s going to be released to the media. Understood and agree.
ANTHONY: I`m not -- I don`t think I`m going to be overheard, Nance. It`s a fact that they tape everything.
GRACE: It will be.
ANTHONY: Exactly.
GRACE: It will be.
ANTHONY: And they.
GRACE: But why is it that what she may say about the search for Caylee would hurt Caylee?
ANTHONY: Well, again, the people that have her -- the whole reason Casey is behind bars is because she`s protecting Caylee`s safety. And I cannot say that enough.
Unfortunately, you know, I can`t say things that`s going to jeopardize what we`re doing looking for this child. And I refuse to do so. And I`m not going to waste my time worrying about justifying pictures that you`re showing on your show every night that are two and three years old.
I do want to address.
GRACE: Well, what about the ones that are five days after Caylee went missing? The one I just showed.
ANTHONY: Well, one of the local reporters, Nancy -- one of the local reporters verified with a Fusion employee that that was taken on June 13th, which was prior to Caylee`s disappearance.
GRACE: Well, before you go any further.
ANTHONY: The reason I called.
GRACE: . the photographer that took those photos has given us the date of five days after Caylee went missing, which was the 15th. I know that you guys saw her on the morning of the 16th. And the others are taken by a fellow partier, who also states it`s five days later.
So that`s two sources supporting the date of the photos. But forget the photos. I want to.
ANTHONY: OK. Forget the photos. The reason I`m calling is.
GRACE: The search for Caylee.
ANTHONY: All right. Here`s the thing. Your expert witness, who has some, you know -- some experience in this doesn`t have the exact experience that I have. And I -- you know, I understand that he has a perspective that a lot of people don`t have. But to compare Casey to O.J. Simpson, that she had no way out.
Casey had a way out if she wanted to not be a mom anymore. Casey lived in a loving family and so did Caylee. Casey knew that any time she had any opportunity -- and obviously if you guys have photographs of her over the last few years going out and enjoying her life -- you know, enjoying life as a 22-year-old and a 20-year-old and a 21-year-old, and a 19-year-old normally would, she had that opportunity.
So someone needs to step back for a minute and think what changed? What would make sense? Well, what we`ve been saying all along that someone took her daughter. Casey has not an irresponsible mother. She did not leave her car. She`s not embarrassed. I mean to say that it`s an embarrassment that she`s trying to sit in jail to cover up, you know, to think about a cover-up for an embarrassment?
Casey`s a mom that puts an extra key in her pocket every time she takes her daughter in the car because she`s afraid if she tries to grab too many things and she leaves her purse she doesn`t want to lock the car and not have a key that she can get in there and get her purse back out or to take care of her daughter. (Why? Would she be afraid she might lock Caylee in the car?)
You know, she thinks, again, every little thing she thinks about and everything we think about is child proofing, making sure that that little girl is safe. So that`s why I can say 100 percent Caylee -- Casey may have told lies and she`s continuing to maintain -- since she`s been, you know, with the authorities she`s maintained and has not changed her story that someone that she entrusted this child to has taken her and has betrayed her trust.
And.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
GRACE: Police desperately searching for 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. With me now her grandmother Cindy Anthony.
Miss Anthony, thank you for calling in. You seem hopeful Caylee will be home by her birthday on Saturday. Why?
ANTHONY: Well, I hope that`s the case. I mean every day I feel like we`re getting closer to locating where she`s at. Casey`s maintained all along she dosen't know where Caylee is at. Casey`s maintained all along that she doesn`t trust the authorities and, you know, as much as I want to say I can`t blame her for certain things that.
GRACE: Well, can I ask you.
ANTHONY: . you know I`ve seen and heard over the last three weeks.
GRACE: Can I ask you -- I know you will not reveal who your daughter says took -- has Caylee but do you know.
ANTHONY: I can`t, Nancy.
GRACE: Do you know who it is? Has she told you?
ANTHONY: Again, we`re pretty confident that we`re on the right track.
GRACE: So I`m going to take that as a yes. How are you going about finding her if you`re not having police help you?
ANTHONY: Police is -- police are helping. You know, we`ve spoken with a lot of different authorities over the last several weeks. More so in the last week than we have, you know, since the onset.
GRACE: OK.
ANTHONY: . because we were putting everything in Orange County`s hands, and we`ve been working closely with them over the last -- we`re probably very close. (I thought Casey didn't trust the authorities? See above)
GRACE: What do you make of the cadaver dogs hitting on the car?
ANTHONY: One cadaver dog, Nancy. Let`s get that straight.
GRACE: OK. Cadaver dog. What do make of the dog hitting on the car?
ANTHONY: One cadaver dog. And same cadaver dog that was the one that was inconsistent in my backyard, the same.
GRACE: OK.
ANTHONY: Explain to me why they had to go an extra day and bring an extra dog in.
GRACE: With us, everyone, is.
ANTHONY: . because that cadaver dog didn`t hit the same spot more than once.
GRACE: . Caylee`s grandmother, Cindy Anthony.
