I started to take notes on the statements made from about the 1/4 mark of this visit. I'll share them for anyone who wants some cliff notes and/or to comment on the specific items -- I'm so glad these have been released!:woohoo:
-Casey says LE is full of and havent given Casey a line-up or sketch artist to help identify or make a composite sketch of ZFG
-Casey is asking Baez and his associate Gabriel for a sketch artist.
-ZFG always goes by her full name and LE has been incorrectly searching for her as either ZG or ZF.
-ZFGs father or stepfather is named Victor. Her mother is named Gloria.
-then Casey changes her story and says Victor legally adopted ZFG
-ZFG is an inch shorter than George, about 57 or 58 (* George adjusts himself in his chair at this point and I view this as a little dig at George who is apparently not very tall. I see Casey doing this a few times during the visit)
-Casey says ZFG straightens her hair. She reminds Cindy that ZFG gave Casey her hair straightener. (*an appeal to try to make Cindy imagine she knows that ZFG is real, IMO)
-Casey says ZFG is very thin and has a little more meat on her than Casey. (*again, back to Casey)
-ZFG has an older sister (1-1.5 years older than ZFG) and she is named Samantha and Casey feels this is the whitest name possible (*??) and states that ZFG and Samantha have different dads
-Samantha was a student at UCF within the last 12 months.
-Zanny went out to Cocoa (beach) with Caylee a few times
-Casey alludes to the list of places shes given Lee and tells Cindy that this list is a good start for Cindy's investigation.
-there is a story about a boat -- Casey wasnt there but this is apparently something they have previously discussed. (* never heard this before?- wonder what the boat thing is all about)
-Cindy asks about Jeff's appearance and Casey says Jeff always dressed "preppy." Cindy asked if he wore horn-rimmed glasses. Casey said he didnt wear glasses but wore reasonably tight jeans and fitted polos always dressed very nicely.
-Casey cannot recall Jeffs sisters married name
-Casey hasnt heard from Zannys roommates but she has given their names to LE and they never did anything with them.
-Zannys alleged roommates are Raquel Farrell (worked briefly at ABC Corp. but Casey doesnt know when; Raquel was a student and had served at a couple restaurants, including a Fridays but Casey doesnt know if it was local) and Jennifer Rosa (worked for ABC Distribution Catalogue within the last year)
-Casey last saw Raquel and Jennifer easily a month and a half ago, maybe
-Raquel and Jennifer both came from families of decent amounts of money, which is why they didnt have to have substantial jobs.
-Casey immediately asks if George has anything to add to this topic (*a jab at George who the family seems to fault for the Anthony's not having "a decent amount of money??)
-Cindy talks about getting a flat tire recently and Casey becomes giddy and chimes hey! Guess what! That happened to me!! (*Casey consistently brings almost every topic back to herself in really awkward and alarming ways. Narcissism Patrol!:razz
-Cindy then immediately changes topic to ask if Casey knows that Trenton Ducketts father has been helping them. Casey says Jose told her about this and Casey says she "guesses thats good because she guesses hes a very resourceful person.
-Cindy asks if Casey knows the reward for finding Caylee and asks if Casey can imagine. Cindy tells her its $225 k and Casey says jesus christ...
-Cindy emphasizes that everyone wants Caylee back and that many are helping.
-Cindy says she only gets one or two not nice phone calls a day and that most people believe in Casey and want to help. Casey should keep her head up and not be afraid of anyone. Cindy implores Casey to get her strength from Cindy and George and Lee and Cindy says she knows (Casey) has it in her.
-Cindy tells Casey she doesnt need to protect the family. The family has been through a lot. Casey cries and sighs.
-George offers an analogy for their family. He asks Casey to think of George as the thumb and says Cindy likes to point just like Caylee. Casey and George laugh and agree that maybe Cindy is actually the middle finger. Then George explains that the next fingers are Lee and Casey and George emphasizes that the little finger that pinky, thats Caylee. George asks Casey to think of her hand as her family and think that this is us the family that loves each other and cares and needs to be together ---and were missing two fingers." -Casey breaks in and says
Im still here. and sighs. (*No mention to Caylee until George explains were trying to find that little girl.)
-George asks if Casey would be interested in talking to the FBI and Casey says that shell talk to anyone her parents want to bring in.
Cindy asks if its just local police Casey doesnt feel comfortable with Casey says its Allen and Melich she distrusts. Casey says she would prefer to speak to Happy Wells
-Cindy asks if she needs Jose present and Casey says she would talk to Happy alone or with Jose bc they have had a lot of conversations together and he was very concerned with Caylee wanting to find Caylee that was his priority. Casey says Happy is someone she felt very comfortable talking to and he is someone who would go out of his way to help George and Cindy. Casey says Happy was at the house when she was picked up Wednesday morning.
-Cindy says LE really wants to talk to Casey and Casey says she would absolutely talk to Happy today.
-Casey doesnt want to talk to anyone who is going to tell her that shes lying, or who is going to belittle her or wont listen to what shes saying to them. She needs someone that is going to take the information that shes giving them.
-Cindy wants to leave five minutes earlier to escape the media thru the back door.
-Casey says shes leaving it to C & Gs discretion whether she should talk to LE with or without her atty. Cindy says she needs her atty present.
-Casey says she told Lee to look locally and that its not gonna hurt to look.
-George asks if theres perhaps a female officer Casey could talk with but Casey says she wants Happy.
-Cindy says the quicker they find Caylee, the quicker Casey can come home.
-Cindy says they are trying to build a case against Casey and Casey says she knows that and that the two detectives are doing that and this is why she doesnt want to speak to them. ("them", is presumably Det. Allen and Melich)
-Cindy encourages Casey to stay positive and Casey says she has been.
Cindy asks if she feels Caylee is still local after this long and Casey says her gut tells her Caylee is still ok and that shes not far she knows in her heart Caylees not far and she can feel it.
-Cindy says they will try to get a sketch artist and Happy and the FBI to come talk to Casey.
-Casey asks if Cindy has talked to Ryan and asks if Ryan has gotten any leads in Jacksonville. Casey says Ryan is a person Cindy should talk to. Cindy hasnt talked to Ryan in days and says that Caseys immediate friends here (Corey and Shawn and Chris and all those guys feel connected with Cindy to get to Casey" because
they see Cindy in Casey and Casey in Cindy. (*LOTS of talk about how Casey and Cindy are the "same" throughout this session.) Casey says oh, I know... and explains her male friends are her big brothers and her other boys.
-Cindy says Jose promises everything will make sense once they have found Caylee and Casey says ...itll have to make sense at that point. and says some incoherent and non-responsive things and then asks for a time-check.
-Cindy says Lee has been a rock for all of them. Cindy says Casey doesnt know all that the family has done to pull together for Casey and Casey says LE told her about it and continues to ramble and wipe her eyes and then the tape cuts out.
-The timing is skewed, but it seems that once George and Cindy are gone, the whimpering and eye wiping stop and Casey looks pretty composed and fixes her hair in the glass and leaves the booth, blank expressioned.
