Brittney Sherman: The statements made in this podcast are meant to be taken
strictly as opinion and not as statements of fact or evidence in the case as
discussed this episode of Scarlet contains graphic details about decomposing
bodies and violence against children.
Listener discretion is advised.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Hey podcasters
Brittney Sherman: welcome to the new true crime podcast.
Scarlet.
Sonia Meza-Leon: So today Bernice Sherman and Sonia, Emilio are talking
about the case of the Anthony saga.
There's
Brittney Sherman: been so much covered about this.
Well, it's what 10, 11 years old, 2008 is when it originally
happens when Kaylee went missing,
Sonia Meza-Leon: it feels like it was so much earlier than that.
I feel like this was like a 1990 story that happened, but you're right.
It wasn't actually that long ago that would've put me just moving to wait.
Now I would've been eight.
No, that was when I moved to LA.
I would have been here in LA for 10 years, which is why I was not paying
attention other than the fact that it happened in Orlando, which is
my hometown and, um, and all sorts of crazy shit happens in Orlando.
In Florida.
There's definitely an underbelly to Orlando college life there.
You know, and that's where UCF is.
That's where UCF is.
It's bigger, bigger school now.
And I went there with a much smaller, I mean, everything was like dirt,
parking, lots, dirt, everything.
It was awful.
Um, it was a small school, but now, I mean, you know, obviously they're
doing well with their football team, but it's still the same champions.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is about the south.
And just being in a place where it's hot in general, people get really
sweaty and then they start doing a lot of drugs and they started drinking
and it just all goes downhill.
From there, you see so many weird things happen.
I don't know what
Brittney Sherman: it is.
The he and come that will mess with people.
I mean, dehydration does crazy things to people.
I don't want to think.
I don't think Casey Anthony though.
I don't think what happened to her is a result of the drugs
and alcohol and the party.
I think she's telling you waiting.
I think that this was if not completely planned out and of course we'll get
to all the theories and everything.
This wasn't a, I don't think this was a.
Drunken mistake.
I don't
Sonia Meza-Leon: think this was a whim that happened.
I agree.
I, well, I don't, I not necessarily a whim being, it was unplanned,
but I don't, I'm not even sure if it wasn't just an accident.
Um, but there are so many weird, weird pieces to this and, and all you can
think of is if it was, if she wasn't guilty, why did she lie about it?
You know, I mean, the lies
Brittney Sherman: so many lives and bursts so well, and
Sonia Meza-Leon: they never stopped well, if you had an accident, which is what
it appears may have happened, one of the theories anyway, you know, what's wrong
just saying it was an accident, unless you were doing something in the moment
that the accident happened, that you could get in trouble for which, you know, that
kind of was for emo, you know, what is the point in lying and just saying she
Brittney Sherman: drowned well, yeah, obviously that is kind
of her biggest defense theory.
Her family's defense more or less.
Uh, but, okay, so, so let's back up a little.
This was obviously huge news that happened in 2008, went to trial.
It really officially in 2011, uh, kindly went missing and
it was, it was everywhere.
It was the trial of the century, 15 years after OJ.
So pretty fast how we had two of those and then 15 years, uh, I mean, I absolutely
hated this, but I remember it so vivid.
She had the name all around.
Thanks, Nancy.
Grease up the top mom.
Like that was just her.
She called the top mom.
I don't remember.
I don't know because Nancy, grace came up with it and Nancy, grace loves
Sonia Meza-Leon: headlines.
She led us to, yeah, she's young a lot.
And that was most of what I heard about it.
My mom was, I did not remember this until just recently when I talked to her
about it, but she said she watched this.
Um, my mom's 85 now and
Brittney Sherman: she watched this case.
Um, every minute of it, she said, and it was on the local cable network.
So she got up and everyday she watched the whole
Sonia Meza-Leon: trial and, um, you know, it was just, it was really close to home
because I have people who are close to it.
And I knew exactly the areas where they were talking about where they live,
where they found the child's body.
Um, it was really close to home.
And, um, I think that's where we back up and we kind of go back to the beginning at
least of how this first came to fruition.
So we've got our timeline, June 15th, 2008.
Um, Caylee Anthony was last seen with her great-grandfather and an assistant.
Apparently that is the last day that anyone saw Kaley
alive outside of the immediate
Brittney Sherman: family, her Kaylee's mom.
Casey, of course.
And Casey's grandparents or Casey's parents.
Keely's grandparents saw her alive the next morning or, sorry.
So on the 16th.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Okay.
On June 6th, especially the date that she went and got it.
And I think there's a little distraught you're right.
And there's a little discrepancy there on when I get Sydney, we
know what time she lasts are.
And then the father clearly, or a Casey's father, he had a different
remembrance, whether it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon or two o'clock
in the afternoon, whatever it was.
Um, and then
Brittney Sherman: all of a sudden, I think Casey and Kaylee
go missing, I'm not mistaken.
Correct.
Kind of.
So this is already aware.
It just, it gets insane because you're at the timeline starts where Casey
wakes up mid morning, late morning.
So she sees her dad around 12, 12 30, something like that, and is taking
Kaylee to daycare so she can go to work.
So Casey can go to work at universal studios, which we'll talk about later.
So George claims that he sees them leaving the house.
And that is roughly the last time that Kaylee is seen alive.
So this is where the timeline already starts to get messed up.
Casey says she's going to work.
Cell phone pings essentially say that she either one never left the
house or two left the house, but stayed in the neighborhood in 2008.
So cell phone identification, location, isn't exactly where it is
now, but it was still pretty good.
It could hone in pretty specifically where she was.
So if he wasn't at the Anthony home, she was pretty close to it.
And George is saying that she left.
So that.
What we essentially have to go
Sonia Meza-Leon: on.
Did she go, were there any other areas around her home where she
would have gone besides her own home?
Like, would she have gone to a neighbors or did someone live by them?
Brittney Sherman: So there was some sort of relationship with the neighbors.
I don't know for sure that they were close enough, that Casey would have actually
gone next door to visit with them.
They come up later in the story where they say that Casey very strangely approached
them and asked to borrow a shovel, which they thought was very out of character.
Why would Casey need a shovel?
I want you to just use a shovel, but the family had.
There are some weird things.
The family had a history of burying pets in their yard.
So if a pet died, but I don't think a pet died.
I don't have any record that there actually had any pets at that time.
So if she did leave the house, if she did go to a neighbor's or if she just
stayed in her car nearby, it's pretty evident that she didn't go to work what
she did with Tayley to be determined.
But we know that she came back home because there was
activity on the family computer.
Sonia Meza-Leon: So was Kaylee's daycare near their home.
And within that perimeter of the cell phone,
Brittney Sherman: I don't think so, but I don't actually know.
Yeah.
I took it as it was extra closer to universal where,
where she doesn't actually
Sonia Meza-Leon: got it.
Well, that would make perfect sense that she's going there every day or not.
Brittney Sherman: Okay.
Sonia Meza-Leon: So we established that that's the last time anyone say
they saw Caylee alive, um, a variety of things happen over the next month.
Um, but what doesn't happen is nobody sees K uh, and I think that's pretty apparent.
What it sounded to me was that Kaley Casey kept pushing her parents off
because they kept wanting to see, um, their granddaughter and she kept
saying, oh, we're here, we're there.
She went on trips.
We should
Brittney Sherman: establish that Casey had lived at home up until
real recently, and she spent a week with her new boyfriend and then she
moved in with her best friend, Amy.
So she moved Kaylee with her, which yes.
Okay.
Strange kind of, but the strangest part to me is, I guess I'm sure
Casey at the time was 22 years old.
She wanted to move out on her own, whatever.
I don't know what her reasons there were, but to your point about, no one
had seen Kaylee we've talked about this.
I don't understand how for 31 days, no one raised the flag.
Where's this two year old child.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Uh, well, I mean, that's, that's the weird part.
And, and in that month as well, where was Casey?
Because her mom said so on July 15th, next point in the
timeline is where Cindy calls.
Casey's mom calls the police and says, um, my daughter is here.
I want someone to come and arrest her.
She's still in the car.
She's stolen money.
Um, and the car smells like a dead.
Thinking being the police of course, or you know, that inflames
them, they get over there quickly.
Um, and then that's where the conversation starts and this, this pickup of Casey.
So right before that, it sounded like, and so you wonder, okay, Casey, obviously
wasn't there the whole time she had walked in because her father had called
her and said, whatever's happening, you know, gaming her, I'm giving her
an ultimatum and said, you have to come and tell us what's really going on.
And that was when she finally showed up there.
Brittney Sherman: So yes, kind of a little more backstory behind that.
Casey did all sorts of various suspicious things in the 31 days
before the police were called, including stealing her parents' car.
Allowing it to run dead in the middle of the road, it was then towed.
The tow yard reported one reported to the police to report that it had
a very strong odor coming from it.
The police notified the family, the Anthony family, George and Cindy
came and picked up the car and then actually call the police after to your
point about George indicating, Hey, tell us what's going on, but called
the police because she sold the car.
Sonia Meza-Leon: So it wasn't that the car that she always drove.
So what's always strange to me in this case.
And, and I, I I'm like she stole the family car.
She stole the car that she was driving, that they gave her permission to drive.
And this is one of those situations where you've kind of
22 year old girl living at home.
Who's in under complete control of her parents.
Um, you know, and sh they're essentially, you know, when she doesn't act in the
way that they want, you know, they say she's still in the car versus
just using it when things are normal.
So I don't, did they not have another car?
Because it sounded to me like that car was either she was using it or
was assigned to her because then if we're saying, oh, it's the, we found a
dead body in the smell of dead bodies.
Why, why are they not more concerned because it
Brittney Sherman: is their car?
Well, in addition, I would think, I don't know if it was her car or not, but
Kaylee's car seat was in the back seat.
So it was certainly a car that if it wasn't Casey's car that wasn't
assigned to her by the family, it was certainly one that was used
frequently to transport Kaylee.
Right.
So I agree.
It raises some weird questions, but I think if nothing else, it might be what
possibly, why it was reported stolen is because Casey had been moved out.
She wasn't living there and there was evidence of breaking back into the house
and taking a gas can to fill up the car.
So at the very least, it may have been employed just to get Casey's
attention because I would highly suspect it wasn't Casey's car.
It was probably a family car that was then towed.
And the family we're trying to get a hold of Casey and this
was the best way to do it.
Got it.
That's a suspicion.
It seems like a logical option.
Got
Sonia Meza-Leon: it.
Okay.
So on July 15th, Cindy calls the police, the shit hits the fan, essentially.
And they finally got Casey to in the house to a point where she supposed to
answer the question, where have you been?
Where's your, where's our granddaughter and what she finally breaks down and
says, she's been kidnapped and she's fake crying or whatever she does that she
magically tells a lie, which is pretty unbelievable in the scheme of things.
And I think what we'll establish over the conversation is how
great a liar she actually was.
She took people to the nth degree in her lies, um, you know, from having a
job and walking them into the building and then getting to the end of the
corridor and saying, oh, I don't have a job or, oops, I didn't do this.
Or, oh, I'm pregnant.
And I'm seven months pregnant.
Previously to this Virgin.
Exactly.
So let's establish the July 15th.
This is when that moment happens.
Cindy calls the police, uh, I'm not mistaken.
The police come, they have a conversation with Casey, even on the 9 1, 1 call.
Cindy says the nine 11 operator wants to talk to Casey.
Can you, Casey gets on the phone and flatly, you know, just is
able to convey this message.
Is that it?
Yes.
My daughter has been kidnapped.
I don't know.
And you know, even, even in this first conversation, she just sounds really
flippant and annoyed that she even asked to talk to the police about it.
Brittney Sherman: Casey, if you watch interviews with her,
honestly, if you just see pictures of her, she has an altar effect.
It's.
I almost feel like the synapses aren't connecting
Sonia Meza-Leon: and definitely got problems for sure.
And I think even her mom and her dad will readily admit that, you know, and this may
be part of trying to smooth things over.
And I
Brittney Sherman: don't want that to be misconstrued when I say that
as that Casey's unintelligent quick little aside and backstory, Casey
does not have a high school diploma.
She reportedly was a pretty good high school student.
She was expected to graduate.
So weeks before graduation, Casey stopped attending high
school, but never told anyone.
So as graduation was approaching, Cindy started asking Casey,
Hey, where's your and down.
Why haven't I gotten any information from the school?
And Casey lies to her says, oh, there was a mix up.
It's all fine.
Don't worry.
It'll get taken care of the day of graduation just before graduation.
Cindy finds out that Casey hasn't been attending and cannot graduate.
She will not get a diploma.
But that doesn't deter Casey from going to graduation.
No one else in the family knows only Cindy in case he now.
So she goes to graduation, dressed in regular street, clothes walks across
the stage, but doesn't get a diploma.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Well, I think the important part about this and what you
just said is it's is, uh, oh, along the way, here with the lies that Casey tells
even prior to Kaylee, but even through this missing moment, Sydney appears to be
a bit compliant on these conversations and she, she maybe she doesn't know about the
lie and what the lie entails, but when she finds out, she definitely, you know, falls
in line and is supportive of Casey in.
And you can see that in the.
In the, in the recordings of Cindy talking to Casey when she's in
jail and it's this really strange icon that contact that happens.
And it's, you know, Casey saying, oh, come on mom.
Like you're asking me things that you already know the answer to.
And that was what I really felt that she was saying to her, with her,
her facial, uh, you know, her eyes.
I mean, everything was, you know, don't go down this road
because you know what happened?
Brittney Sherman: Getting back to the timeline.
We know that July 15th, that's when the police were called July
16th, Casey is officially charged and leading up to her arrest.
Moralized come out.
She sees oh, official explanation for where Kaylee is.
Is that the day that he went missing, Casey dropped her
off at her regular Manny.
Zanny the near Zenata Fernandez Gonzalez.
So the police said, okay, well, cool.
Take us to Danny's house.
And well, of course Jenner.
So they go to Sandy's house.
Sandy's not there.
Kaylee says, well, I went back to pick her up after work and Sandy
refused to give her to me right there.
Don't you call the police immediately?
Sonia Meza-Leon: You would think so.
This is where I.
Uh, I think that Casey mixes in truth and lies, there may have been
something happened not necessarily with denied because she says that
they don't even know each other.
But I think that this was the impression of something that
may have actually happened.
So it was a night a really does or someone has this kid then, you know, why would
they w why, what would Casey be doing?
So I want to talk a little bit now that we know that Casey's
in jail, she's been arrested.
They started looking at Casey's past.
They started looking at the history of the family, the relationship, obviously
it's got some interesting, um, God components to it, the way that the family
works, George and his life evidently.
I wanted to be, eh, from childhood one or two B a M a character at a theme park.
Uh, he was a policeman for a while.
And then he was actually a private security guard.
After that, I feel like this family is from New York or upstate.
I don't know.
They seem like they seem like they're in Florida.
There are a lot of new Yorkers, a lot of people from the
Northeast moved down to Florida.
So it wouldn't surprise me, but they definitely have an accent.
That's not Florida.
And so maybe that was there.
So you've got George in his life.
Uh, he was married prior to Cindy hanging
Brittney Sherman: out in, back up.
I'm still on this.
He wanted to be a character at a theme
Sonia Meza-Leon: park.
I, you know, at first glance, I think he's an alright looking guy.
You know, he seems like he's got it together, but apparently he's
had some challenges in his life.
Uh, his own father fired him from the family business.
And so he then became a police officer that went fine.
Uh, and then evidently when you're secure, you have a lot of police officers or
officers will transition into security work because as a police officer, you
will automatically get paid a higher rate.
So there there's that.
Um, and he was actually, I forget, or he was a security guard, but
he was an actually, when this happened, he was a security guard
at some private, um, agency.
So you've got George and then you've got Cindy, who's a nurse.
And then what we really never know about very much is the brother Lee, right.
Lee doesn't come up much at all, which is probably good for him.
I mean that, unless he's really not involved, you know, save them the trouble
of having to live a life of Casey's.
Does my sister.
Brittney Sherman: Possibly it's reported that Casey and Cindy were extremely close.
They were best friends, mother and daughter, to be honest, I didn't even
know that she had a brother until late in my research into this that's how
far I feel like he is separated from
Sonia Meza-Leon: this case.
The only thing I really knew about him was that he's not Kaylee's father and there
was that's a conversation we'll have.
Yeah.
I mean, and there was a conversation in the trial about, you know, abuse,
but, um, you know, I think it was just, you know, Casey trying to do anything
she could to get out of the situation
Brittney Sherman: after the Casey takes the officers to
Zanny, the nanny is playing.
No success there.
The officers then say, all right, we'll retrace your steps.
Take us to work universal studios.
And as we mentioned, Casey, hasn't worked there.
She hasn't worked there in years.
As a matter of fact, there's Sonia, you worked at universal
Sonia Meza-Leon: first off.
I don't understand why they let anybody in to let and then let her
walk in to show anybody where the I'm.
She
Brittney Sherman: straight up, walked into an office building,
talk to her way through security.
And trimming the officers to an office where she claims she
Sonia Meza-Leon: worked.
Yeah.
And I think part of this honestly, was that there were officers with her.
That's the key, because if she was Joe blow, you can't get any universal studios.
But I think the, the officers definitely help them, you know, help
guide this a bit and let them in.
And, you know, as what everybody says, you know, the craziness of her
walking, some of these officers in through buildings through many, many
doors, this is so-and-so's office.
Hey, hello to people.
If you know, you know, and then finally getting to the very end of the corridor
and saying, I'm sorry, you're right.
I actually don't work here.
And you know, what's amazing is you have to understand or try.
I can't understand the kind of person who would need someone on a
lie that far down a road, because in my life, my biggest fear is
getting caught in lies, not eating.
And not that you tell lies a lot.
I could never imagine knowing from the beginning that I was telling
a lie that I could ever get caught in that to me is terrifying.
And for her to take it to that degree, it means that she has absolutely no
fear and no conscience and doing that.
Brittney Sherman: Yeah.
I agree.
One thing that always puzzled me though, it was almost like
a game to the police officers.
They knew this whole time, she never worked
Sonia Meza-Leon: at universal.
So back to the Casey and her and her, her magical lie telling, um, which is
obviously indicative of some kind of, you know, criminal minds, Ted, Ted
Bundy, you know, all your famous, you know, criminals, they, you know, they
would, they would spend these, you know, these tales and it was just amazing
that they just sounded so, so very much like they believed in themselves.
And I think that was the way that they could really get others to.
I think the difference there, head
Brittney Sherman: bunny had almost a cult-like following of women.
He was.
Attractive.
He was charming.
He was intelligent.
No, one's going to accuse Casey Anthony of being a member of
Sonia Meza-Leon: no, no, not at all, but as I just, I walked in, you know,
and I was playing the podcast and these guys are about Casey Anthony and
it's sort of a frat party environment.
They're talking about hot.
She is.
And that was brought up in that podcast many times.
And I found it fascinating that that's still an important thing
to talk about whether it's making fun of her or whatever.
But, um, at the end of the day, I think someone thinks she's
attractive and, and eminently pretty
Brittney Sherman: persuasive.
She's very persuasive almost to the point of, I don't know,
sociopathic to a certain extent.
And I think that speaks back to the flat aspect that was referencing
and her attractiveness, I think ultimately that might have played a
factor in the result of the trial.
Oh,
Sonia Meza-Leon: absolutely.
Um, I mean, no doubt.
I, you know, when you watch her in the, in the courtroom, she definitely is different
than all the pictures and the pictures where she's partying and she's doing
her hot bod contest with her boyfriend DJ anonymous, which is the dumbest name
I've ever heard, because why do you want to be anonymous if you're a DJ?
Um, and his friend Clint, uh, from long island who, uh, essentially
we're probably, uh, you know, I think driving some of this.
Her personality had changed over time.
As she had met these guys, evidently she was a strong, she
believes strongly in marijuana.
She didn't actually smoke.
She, you know, would chastise her friends were smoking pot.
And then all of a sudden, when she started hanging out with whatever,
Joey, something, Joey, whatever it Clint, you know, she wanted him to start
partying and she wanted to start, you know, living, living the more fun life.
And that was probably right around the time where Kaylee had, you know, it wasn't
in the picture because it's easier to live that kind of life without a child.
Brittney Sherman: We know the lies.
We know the change in personality.
We know the police know that she's full of it,
Sonia Meza-Leon: which must've been so fun for them.
Brittney Sherman: It was like a game seriously.
Now we're now Casey's in a corner.
She's arrested.
She hires an attorney, Jose.
She has her first name court, of course, pleads not guilty at this point.
Kelly's only missing.
So she's initially charged with neglect.
The child endangerment, her bond is set at $500,000.
Then the judge ultimately decides to ban release to all media.
As you can imagine, hot and girl in Florida, the media is all over it.
Missing little adorable blonde hair toddler, the heart
of America at this point.
So the jerk says no one's allowed in which I think maybe goes against Casey.
I think Casey, the attention.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Oh, absolutely.
By the way, I just want to make sure that we call out that the first judge was
actually taken off the case, talking to a blogger judge because, you know, God
forbid somebody dogs in the media, I, you know, let's not talk to the media at all.
So I am sure that that sort of propel this into a non-media or
attempting to be non-media plus how are they ever going to find a jury?
Um, and I think ultimately what they did is they brought a jury in, since the
Brittney Sherman: media was blocked from courtroom proceedings.
I don't know how they found out, but it was leaked to the media,
probably through her attorney, maybe through someone else attached to
the case, maybe her family, that her defense was going to be Haley drum.
So at this point, Casey has not been charged with murder.
They don't even know that she's dead, but there's all of a sudden speculation out
there that she drown in the family pool.
Why would there be speculation?
Why would that have gotten out if she's not even dead yet?
Sonia Meza-Leon: Yeah, well, yeah.
I mean, exactly.
So who would have, who would, he would be compelled to meet that kind of thing
who would benefit from that information?
That's really, I mean, ultimately Casey cause that's going to be her defense
so likely it would have been a defense theory, but you know, I think lots of
people were talking about the pool and the ladder and how, you know, those
things happen all the time in Florida.
It's hot Casey and the dad were alone at the house together with
Kaylee and that he was the last one.
That's our, I'm not surprised because I think they were
jumping to all kinds of things.
And I, if I'm not mistaken that area in the back where they did find,
so eventually they find Kaylee's body, I think six months in, right?
Yeah.
Brittney Sherman: After multiple calls to the police though, by a meter reader
who reported finding any suspicious bag off to the side of the road.
So it took three phone calls for someone to actually come out and investigate.
This two particular things are really suspicious about this one.
We know EquiSearch, which is a nationwide.
Certain volunteer search organization who dedicates people to looking for missing,
missing children, searched the area high and low, but as Salish your from Florida,
you know, that it turns into swamp land.
The searches started around hurricane season, tropical storm season.
So the area around the Anthony home was underwater.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Oh yeah.
Yeah.
It would have been really swampy in that heat.
And in that kind of the heat coupled with the, the, just the vast amount of water in
Florida, I don't know if you've ever been, but when you fly in, it looks more like
there's just little speckles of land in the middle of all these masses of water.
So it doesn't take much.
I mean, you're talking about everywhere along every side of the road, you've
got these, you know, probably retention ponds and these little, like two or three
inch puddles of water, but it adds up, but water, you know, standing over an
area over time is definitely going to increase the decomposition of a body.
Brittney Sherman: Here's a question for, we can establish, we can agree.
Water probably covered that area.
A quarter mile from Nina Anthony home, a body was found a quarter
mile from the Anthony home.
How.
That's like across the street practically.
Oh, is that, how, how did it take
Sonia Meza-Leon: so long?
Well, also, so even if you've got the body in the area where that was underwater, at
one point, it would, I would assume that if you've got dogs in the area tracking,
they would have hit somewhere along the path from the house to that area and it
leaked, and then they would've stopped.
They would have stopped at the water's edge, whatever that water's edge
is, they would've stopped at it.
But nowhere around the house, did they really hit on anything with the exception
of two places they hit, they hit in the house and by the back of the car, by
the trunk of the car for cadaver, they also, the first time the dogs went out,
also hit in the backyard for a cadaver.
When they went back to the house, they did not find they did not have that same hit.
There's some idea that it was that that cadaver was beyond that car again.
I mean, what I don't understand, and also it seems really weird.
Is that, that body and who knows how long that would, that timeframe would
have been because Kate, the, the girl little girl would have had to decompose.
So how long she must've been in the car the whole time and someone is established
that she died on the 16th, but I don't know if that's actually the case.
Did she actually die on the 16th or was she kept alive for a period of time?
If you only have the bones, I'm not sure how you know that.
Yeah.
I don't
Brittney Sherman: know, obviously, and we know she was missing, but that's why
for so long, Casey was only charged with.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Yeah, because we didn't know if he actually had a
body because she could have been running around Zanny the nanny.
Exactly.
Brittney Sherman: It's.
Hmm.
And when you talk about the car, so one of the prosecutions lightening, your
odds that they thought would really be the silver bullet to get Casey.
Is that there was significant evidence of a decomposing body in the back of the,
Sonia Meza-Leon: on the back of the car.
I think they establish that through the trunk, some
Brittney Sherman: gas.
Right?
So, so there was essentially like a scene in the carpet of
the back of the car in the trunk.
There was gas that was collected as he said, right.
Probably most telling a wall, multiple people report.
A horrible smell that is akin to, or exactly that of a decomposing body.
Right.
And it started really when the car was towed, someone reported that there was
an odor, the person didn't, the tow yard didn't know that it was decomposing body,
but reported the odor to begin with.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Sure.
And then that's when they said they found garbage in the back of the car
and for duke Creek, Casey credited.
If, if that, if she did put that body in the car, if she killed Kaylee and
she put that body in the car and that body decompose for her to have the
forethought to then take the body out, put it somewhere wherever, and
then he'd be back at Casey credit.
Well, she must've thought about this cause she put the garbage in
there to cover up the decomp smell.
You know, you're like, well, cause I waiver here.
I say, she's an idiot.
Oh, I can't believe she, excuse again, I have the fear of being caught in a lie.
So I'm like kind of, you know, to be so bold and bring.
Um, and then to spend these lies to the point where she exhausts
everyone, but she does put some thought into some of this because
she's thoughtful about the garbage.
She must've been, she that wasn't coincidentally, she put it in there
because you want, wanted to cover up the smell if that was the case.
I think the other thing that in the back of the trunk of
the car that I found the most.
Was it, they found hair and that hair had, what's called a death band on it.
And that death bin is only on hair that is attached to a decomposing body.
It's the law, there's a black line there.
And so they found Kaley's hair because it was that it was the mother
line where they did the analysis.
It could only be in the mother line.
So that haircut have only come from Casey or Cindy or Kaylee.
And it was untreated, which means that, so it had to have been Kaylee's.
So I think it was someone I
Brittney Sherman: mentioned real quick, talking about giving credit
where credit's due to Casey and she planted the seeds previously by
reporting to her dad, or maybe it was.
That her car smelled like she hit a dead animal or there was a
Sonia Meza-Leon: dead animal in there.
Well, yes, exactly.
She told her dad to, to, I don't know why too, because maybe one was a little
li two squirrels caught up in her engine and they got, you know, when she started
the car, they got ground up in there.
Brittney Sherman: That's freaking disgusting.
Okay.
Thank you.
Sonia Meza-Leon: I don't look at me about Prius cause I love my Prius and
there's no reverse world that entered by the way, just for the best thing.
That's freaking awful.
But, uh, that's what Casey told her dad was when he asked her.
Cause he finally, you know, getting her to that house and
like tell us what is going on.
And that was her.
Explain the decomposition, smell to squirrel is caught up on my engine
and must've gotten wrapped up in.
You know, hamburger, meat gross.
She told her friend Gonzalez not Gonzales, something to Dallas.
She told one of her friends that she had thought she had hit a squirrel.
So I don't even know why she was compelled to tell him to change the story.
If she told her dad one story about two girls and the engine.
And why didn't you just tell her friend it's so many lines.
I dunno.
That's exactly
Brittney Sherman: right.
You see that speaks to Casey is coming, but not super
Sonia Meza-Leon: Selligent.
He's not because it's so much easier just to remember one story.
Like, I mean, I, again, I'm mortified being caught in a lie,
you know, so I just don't ever lie.
It's, you know, I wish I was good at it because I'd probably wouldn't
hurt my mom's feelings so often.
But you know, at the end of the day, it's a lot of work to remember
Brittney Sherman: lies.
Poor mom.
I know.
Well, I try to be complimentary all the time to everybody, you know, Hey,
Sonia Meza-Leon: come on.
All right.
So back to the car, back to the hair, back to the calm, back to all these
stories shooting as the police go and, you know, continue to talk to the
family by the way, this poor family.
Do you watch the video of these, you know, Cindy and outside their house being
off of, you know, the media, because they're just I'm word choice there.
Yeah.
It was really awful.
You know, they were getting these people, you know, and they were getting
them back and they're wearing Shirley.
Yes, it was really awful.
And the media is either being supportive or unsupportive, but
either way, they're getting all this attention that they don't want.
They're wearing a t-shirt with
Brittney Sherman: Kaylee on it.
The court of public opinion made their decision.
Well, before this went to trial as with many high profile
cases, it's the norm these days,
Sonia Meza-Leon: awful.
That has nothing real.
I mean, at the end of the day, you know, sure.
Casey's in jail, go to the courthouse or go to the gym protest, but these
poor, the family, you know, I don't know how you, you get through that.
And also in this moment are grieving for your granddaughter
that your daughter likely killed.
Yeah.
I mean, that's really, you know, and I think I want to back up a bit, cause I
think we, we can talk a little bit about Sidney and Casey and their relationship.
And now I feel, I feel really strongly that Cindy knows
something more than she's saying.
I think that she realized after a certain point, I don't think that there was a
point where Casey could have told her the truth, but I think she suggested to her,
Brittney Sherman: um, cause there wasn't
Sonia Meza-Leon: much time where she came home and they were talking
about it and then she went to jail.
So anything that her jail time would have been recorded.
But I think that Cindy tinny in Casey's relationship, they were best friends.
Like you said, Cindy knew about her not graduating.
Oh wait, let me just remind everybody.
Cindy did not tell anybody else in the family, she don't lie to the family.
She kept that light going and.
This is exactly the same thing that happened when they
found out Katie was pregnant.
Right.
They found that case.
He was pregnant because she told at first she said, oh,
you're getting a little chubby.
Oh, no problem.
Well, I couldn't be pregnant.
I'm a Virgin.
Yeah.
Okay.
Turns out to see immaculate conception.
Absolutely.
Seven months in.
Somebody else in the family mentioned that Casey looks pregnant and Sidney
now is blowing it off and Casey too, and she's seven months pregnant.
And when you're that little under seven months pregnant, I mean, sure.
You may look like, you know, you're not really, everybody carries babies
differently, but I can't imagine.
And then what happens in two months when the baby comes out, like
you still got a reality to this happening, this is not going away.
And I kind of feel like that's the way Sydney and Casey Casey approach.
Everything is like, you know, you just keep pushing it off.
It will go away.
You know?
And in this case, it's kind of what happened because you know, her road
to freedom because she was acquitted.
I mean, she, she pushed through it somehow or another, every day she
pushed through it and she created more lies, but it, it happened for her.
It's kind of amazing to me, you know, Sydney.
These realities and then finding out after the fact must've been really
hurtful for the family, and then they must not have trusted them.
Brittney Sherman: That parlays perfectly into where you and I
diverge a little bit on this.
I have a lot of theories.
I wrote several down.
Then I'll talk about later because I don't really know what happened, but
one of my theories is that Cindy knew, I don't think Cindy was involved in the
death of Katie, but I think she knew was she involved in the coverup or the
barrier maybe, but Cindy only called 9 1 1 to report Kaylee missing after
Casey told her brother wheat let's think about this 31 days, the grandparents
don't see their granddaughter.
They are a strange, somewhat from.
Casey comes over.
They call the police to report Casey for stealing the car.
Kaylee is not with Casey.
So in my conspiracy theory, if Cindy and Casey knew what happened to Kaylee, it
was still contained with the two of them.
Then Casey, essentially let it slip to leave that she doesn't
know where her daughter is now.
The lids off
Sonia Meza-Leon: now, now
Brittney Sherman: him.
She can't have to need to hold it in because
Sonia Meza-Leon: now it's out there.
True.
I just, I can't, I don't understand how somebody can you live.
They pretty much lived or up until right before or the, I guess the last
time they saw them was in June and then they moved out right after that.
So they, she has been skirting them, but the night
Brittney Sherman: before she went missing, Kaylee and Casey
stayed with the Anthony's.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Got it.
By the way, let's back up a moment and talk about how Casey
was going to afford an apartment.
She really didn't have a job.
And I think this is one of my biggest hiccups in this whole thing is
how is she going to move anywhere?
Does she have a car because she doesn't have any money.
If she has money, how was she getting it?
It sounded to me like she had gone into the Anthony's house
a couple of times it was stolen money, but what else is she doing?
Well, she exists with no money.
No, you're
Brittney Sherman: right.
You can't.
But the first week that she moved out, she was staying with her boyfriend.
Then she moved in with her.
Uh, whether or not there was some sort of a rent agreement.
She was going to say rent free until she got a job.
No idea.
Or Casey always has a backup plan.
She was later arrested after she was released on bail, which is strange because
with a half million dollar bond, some random person came up and paid for it.
But after she was released from jail for the endangerment of Kaylee, she was
rearrested for stealing more than $1,400.
And writing fraudulent checks from her friend, Amy, who she was living with.
Okay.
Sonia Meza-Leon: So her way to pay Amy was to take any of his
money and pay her back with it.
Casey's the Dick Dick move, bro.
Let's go back a moment.
God, Casey, out of jail.
How has that hospital who paid the bond?
Is that even like, I am like, I think there's something much
deeper to Casey than we're all thinking about because she's lying.
She's able to do this, you know, all these.
I mean, is she involved in like prostitution?
Is she involved in like drugs?
Well,
Brittney Sherman: very fair question.
So a bail bondsman named Berliner Pedea paved Casey's half a million dollar bail.
I don't, I don't get it right.
Exactly.
I don't know why I end
Sonia Meza-Leon: up getting
Brittney Sherman: a bail bondsman or bounty hunter.
He was a male boss or whether I don't really know either, but
from what I've heard, thank you.
Wikipedia and investigation discovery.
She wasn't
half a million dollars and he is not the only person that posted
bond because he posted on, she was released, fitted with an ankle monitor.
She was rearrested for stealing the money from her roommate.
Her parents came up with an additional 500,000.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Her parents in Florida came up with an additional $500,000.
Her
Brittney Sherman: parents retired police officer turned
security guard who wanted to
Sonia Meza-Leon: be a theme
Brittney Sherman: park character, and her nurse that you can
is calling to be goofy.
And her nurse
Sonia Meza-Leon: mom,
Brittney Sherman: a half a million dollars, they came up with to pay.
How does that happen?
Sonia Meza-Leon: It doesn't, it just doesn't.
I mean, today we're fucking driving a sunburn.
If you had a half, a million dollars, you wouldn't be
Brittney Sherman: driving a sunburn know I'll talk later about how she
picked her up at certain speeds.
Well,
Sonia Meza-Leon: I think that's all wrapped up in it is I
think she would do anything.
And I think she probably was first off.
We know she was spending eight hours a day, five days a week for
two freaking years saying that she was working at universal.
Where was she going?
What was she.
At the
Brittney Sherman: very least find another job.
What do you do?
How boring is that?
You don't have any money.
Sonia Meza-Leon: She was creating emails with her employees that universal
leaving them around the house that is so much work to keep that lag, going to
get up every morning and get dressed.
It's just easier
Brittney Sherman: to work a real job.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Well, you have money unless you're already getting money.
Yes.
So that's what I'm, you know, this is a young girl.
She's 22, whatever she thinks she's hot
Brittney Sherman: in Orlando.
Bahar.
She's hot.
She's Orlando.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Yeah.
She's an Orlando eight, you know, she's an ally and that's okay.
But you know, in good for her, that's great.
She was in the right place.
Um, but I just, I can't, I mean, maybe they took a mortgage out on
their house, but their house was not worth half a million dollars either.
No, I mean, there, there are houses far and few between not for the cop and the.
So with the Sunbird, it just doesn't make a ton of sense, you know, unless these
people were going to use her, if they were going to use her for something, or
she knew someone, something was going on, I think these are where things
worth the things that we should think about, because I just don't understand
how she was going to move anywhere, unless she just really had no idea.
I mean, she never did think about the end game because that's how our lives work.
You know, she just thought she'd lie our way until she can just walk away from it.
I think that's a trait of a narcissist.
Right.
It's just, you know, definitely disregard, you know, and it, and she'll
get through it because she's heard it.
She's amazing.
Oh yeah.
I mean,
Brittney Sherman: uh, in my opinion speaks to also the family
is protecting Casey mother.
Nothing knew anything.
They still went out of their way to do everything they could to protect Casey.
And that speaks to how she felt she was on top of.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Oh, well, absolutely.
I mean, she, I guess she had a history of, they had a really weird family dynamic.
Cindy was a definitely the, you know, the queen of the house too,
or just kind of run around, just agreeing with Cindy, which is fine.
I don't mind that relationship at all though, who really
ruled the house was Casey.
Um, you know, if anything happened, Casey would come in,
they would have a conversation.
It wouldn't take much to get her set her off.
She would get excited about something and you know, where
are you accusing me of this?
I mean, I think they got excited about the gas cans by the way.
Oh yeah.
So I think we should talk about the Gaskins later, but I just wanna
remind everybody on the gas cans was duct tape and that is exactly
the same duct tape that was found on
Brittney Sherman: or near Caylee's body.
Let's actually talk about the gas can now, because that's the part that
I can't, I don't understand a big deal was made about the gas cake.
She broke into the house and stole a gas can, which to me.
What's the big deal with that.
We'll talk about the duct tape that may or may not tie in
later, but what was the big deal?
So she took a
Sonia Meza-Leon: gas cannon.
I think this is the parents trying to maintain control over her.
And it had probably had a lot to do with Kaylee because they
wanted to see their granddaughter.
And they were probably worried about her in, you know, Casey's care because
they know their daughter, you know, they would try to, they would use anything
they could to try to regain control.
So if it's a stupid as well, the only thing she did was take the
gas can, and that's all I can do.
But I think that they were, you know, even with the car, you know, she was
using the car and then once they, you know, she pissed them off and
they're like, well, the car was stolen.
So I think it was really, you know, and she, I don't know if she moved
out because she wanted to move out or because her, they wanted her to move
out because it was one conversation I had heard where she had told her friend
that her mom was making her move.
But I really don't believe that because I don't think the mom would have
wanted that little girl to go anywhere.
Brittney Sherman: I agree.
I disagree.
I think Keeley became their world.
And when you have a two-year-old toddler,
Sonia Meza-Leon: it usually does.
Absolutely.
I agree with you then maybe they want to give you see to move out.
But I don't think Casey would want to move out without the little
girl, because that was her control.
Brittney Sherman: Yes or no.
I mean, well,
Sonia Meza-Leon: definitely were control over her parents and that was
probably how they were getting money.
Yeah.
Brittney Sherman: Probably wanted a job.
So
Sonia Meza-Leon: she must've somebody paid
Brittney Sherman: for daycare.
We talked about everything leading up to the case.
We ready to talk about the trial
Sonia Meza-Leon: a year.
Think so.
Brittney Sherman: You want to cover a little more.
Sonia Meza-Leon: I think that's, you know, the trial sort of speaks for
itself, but I feel like that we've, we've already kind of hit the pinnacle.
Well, the top of this was the lies, finding the child, George, the
guy who found the child and then even suggesting that it was him,
which I really don't agree with.
We talked about the proximity of the child being found to the house.
You can talk about the evidence with the body.
I think we should.
Can we, if we can talk about that for a second, I think
Brittney Sherman: that's where, yeah, so that's essentially what I
mean is we've heard all these things about everything that led up to it,
and we can talk about the evidence that's presented and some of the
inflammatory things that are brought up
Sonia Meza-Leon: at the trial.
Yes.
So let's talk a little bit more about the body.
And when they found the body six months into this, they found the body, the
little Kaley's body she was in found, like you said, a quarter of a mile from
their house and an area by the road.
Florida's pretty much underwater anyway.
So it doesn't take much or under sea level, but it doesn't take
much for the water to settle.
So I'm not surprised that they made not have found this sooner, but I find it
hard to believe that somebody somewhere.
And for this guy to call twice and nobody doing anything was kind of crazy.
You know, he readily admits that he took a stick and stuck it into the skull
and lifted it up to see what it was.
And, um, I'm assuming that there was probably some hair attached to
that skull or some hair matting.
That's what normally happens.
Somebody I listen to a podcast or I've watched an interview with the foreman
and he talked about how the pictures that they saw were so grizzly, but I was
having a hard time with that because I thought we just found a bag of bones.
So, yeah.
Brittney Sherman: Okay.
Let's discuss that bag of bones.
I'm a little unclear on that also because the first two times that
the meter reader called the police, he reported seeing this bag that he
thought maybe there was a body and when,
Sonia Meza-Leon: how am I going to go out the first time
when there's a body in a bag?
Brittney Sherman: I mean, Greg.
They were probably getting tips up the wazoo at this time, going
everywhere, Caylee Anthony sightings.
So you have to be strategic in the ones you want to look at, but a
quarter mile from the Anthony home, I would think that's when they
were put at the top of your list.
So here's my theory.
He reported seeing this bag went underwater, went through the winter
water, succeeded the bag opened up.
So when he came back, the third time the bag was open and he could see into
it that there was truly a dead body.
Like he suspected all along and it wasn't just in a bag.
It was, she was wrapped in a sheet or some sort of cover
Winnie the Pooh blanket and then placed into a bag.
So it's also possible animals got to the bag and opened it up.
That's how he would have been able to, as he said, And touch the
school with a stick and manipulate the crime scene, ultimately.
And I think it was two bags.
I don't
Sonia Meza-Leon: think it was just one.
There was the white laundry bag.
Brittney Sherman: That's clearly from the Anthony's house, establish that.
Sonia Meza-Leon: And then I either
Brittney Sherman: that bad was inside of a black garbage bag or the
reverse, but I'm assuming if the white
Sonia Meza-Leon: would have been, I would have been on the outside, it
would have been a lot easier to see.
I think I was the black bag is on the outside, but canvas inside,
which honest to God that bag opening up that black garbage bag.
It must've been a mess in there.
I mean, you've got water and heat, the decomposition, I mean, you've
got probably a little mat of hair.
Brittney Sherman: Um, something was offensive enough to where it
freaked the jury out because a lot of them talk about hope, how
Sonia Meza-Leon: bad those pictures were.
Um, and it was a child.
And obviously everybody's really sensitive to that
Brittney Sherman: because no matter what, you've got a little bag of child here
and point of clarity, um, objective.
In the courtroom right now.
Uh, just want to make sure we're clear on this.
I want to retract the previous statement.
I said the meter reader called three times.
It wasn't until the fourth time that he called and then they
actually came out no more times.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Why are you kidding me?
You're the one from Florida.
You tell me it's not
it's not like you're washed up on the shore.
I mean, I know you can see a lot, but picking a skull up out sick.
I don't know if, I mean, I don't know if he did that the first
Brittney Sherman: or the fourth
Sonia Meza-Leon: time, but any of those times, like I would have
been screaming, bloody murder, like get your ass out of here.
What
Brittney Sherman: possessed someone though to say, I think that's a skull.
Let me lift it.
Uh,
Sonia Meza-Leon: I would do that.
I love
Brittney Sherman: and live to see him on the wall.
I don't want to
Sonia Meza-Leon: child school.
Do you mean like a headway on a wall?
Is that looking at herd of like a hunter?
It's somebody I don't
full skeleton, not a doctor's skeleton.
This is clearly small.
And there it's small.
It's not an animal.
I would probably still actually now I retract that when I was younger, I would
definitely want to talk, but maybe not now, because I would definitely have
respect for a crime scene because clearly human stuff around it, you can see imag,
which means it's probably in or near it.
Right.
And then you may see the duct tape that was apparent.
You know, that, I think what I think what helps me understand the timeline
a little also is that duct tape and the condition of the bones, because
you know what they say is she must've done it almost immediately after she
was missing, because it would have taken that long for everything there to
decompose, like, but I still don't know if they can nail it down to an exact day.
And that's hard because when you try to establish alibis, if it happens.
Within a 72 hour range.
It's hard to establish some of these alibis through that whole time period.
So, you know, again, the jurors were really from that, the reason
that they couldn't convict her is because they just didn't feel like
no spoiler alert so many years after.
And they say, I know they say that, uh, Jon snow died.
That's
Brittney Sherman: more recent.
So upset.
A lot of people.
I know I will never watch game of Thrones again, by the day, I'm not
going to go back and rewatch the show go from being the most popular show
of all time to one of the most hated
Sonia Meza-Leon: because they ruined the end ruin.
Did I really?
We will get it.
oh, it was a beautiful show.
I mean, seriously,
Brittney Sherman: we digress back to the case,
Sonia Meza-Leon: you know, we've got Casey in jail now we've
got the body so we can hear.
Brittney Sherman: We started talking about the duct tape.
I know this is a future for you, and it was a huge sticking
point for the prosecution.
So I'm going to let you own this because I had actually spoke a few holes in
here, at least I think again, but I know it was a really big deal for you.
Sonia Meza-Leon: It is because, well, let's just say let's just
establish that, that right.
If somebody is saying, oh, well we don't know how she was killed.
I'm not sure how this couldn't be considered a homicide.
If you look at the duct tape being honored around her
Brittney Sherman: face.
So hopefully by the way, the prosecution's main argument as to how Kaley was
murdered is that she was suffocated with duct tape over her nose or mouth for,
Sonia Meza-Leon: I think that that is one of the things that the jury
really had a hard time with because that I think was a bit farfetched.
I think that they had, I don't think you Suffolk it's moon with duct tape.
I think that you put that on to shut them up.
Okay.
I never saw that.
She said that I can do it with duct tape, but that was a
by-product of something else.
I think that the Xanax.
It was whatever it was.
Um, you know, I do think that she was probably given something and
she probably, but then why would you have duct tape it off if you put, if
she, if she died from you giving her something, what she wouldn't be, what,
Brittney Sherman: what's the point of the duck?
So the body's found there's duct tape around her jaw or on
her
Sonia Meza-Leon: jaw holding it on pretty much to her
skull, but I don't think it was
Brittney Sherman: over at the time.
It wasn't actually over for nose and mouth or where her
nose and mouth is in her school.
Sonia Meza-Leon: I think it was small part of it was, but the
majority was stuff up in her hair.
Oh, wait, the hair works, I guess when you die like that in an outside situation.
Cause I listened to the body farm bypass and it's amazing is
that you've got a skull rolling on the ground in whatever way.
And the heroine, a decomposable fall this back kind of just land around it.
And it makes like a horseshoe around the head.
It's like a hair mat.
Okay.
So that's where you could even, it's all, you know, cause it had been there for
so long in that humidity, in that heat, you know, it had all just fallen back.
So that's the assumption, but they say that that would have
fit over her mouth and her nose.
But you know, you don't know if that I think again, I don't think
that duct tape was the weapon.
I think that duct tape was, um, something to try to get,
Brittney Sherman: keep the little girl
Sonia Meza-Leon: quiet.
Okay.
And that's the only reason, honestly.
And here's the weird part about this duct tape
Brittney Sherman: by the way.
That
Sonia Meza-Leon: duct tape is not very common.
The kind of duct
Brittney Sherman: tape that was used, they found it in the Anthony's home.
They found it
Sonia Meza-Leon: on the signs, the freaking flyers that they put
up well around the neighborhood.
Was that exactly that tape?
Like, are you kidding?
Look what you use the murder weapon.
Brittney Sherman: Agree.
Suffocated her to put the signs up, trying
Sonia Meza-Leon: to find her, like it's just really, really gross in a year.
Okay.
So you've got the duct tape.
So that's my theory about the duct tape.
I don't think it was used for suffocation.
I can do is used for keeping her quiet, but then if she was already dead, why
would they need to keep her quiet?
Brittney Sherman: If you think it's to help keep her quiet.
And I don't think you actually might be honest something because that
might play into one of the other theories is that there were traces of
chloroform found in the car chloroform.
I don't think a common thing to keep around the house.
It's
Sonia Meza-Leon: not.
And they found searches on the computer that she had looked up how
to chloroform, how to make chloroform
Brittney Sherman: also how to suffocate a child and get away with it.
I'm not saying that verbatim, but that's just what it was.
She legitimately search for that.
Sonia Meza-Leon: She's such an idiot, like why you don't need to look that up?
What is the word?
Bull.
Okay.
Brittney Sherman: We're jumping backwards a little bit.
Now.
She erased her internet searches.
The day that Kaylee went missing the family's computer internet.
Sonia Meza-Leon: How would she know how to do that?
She doesn't know how to do that.
Come
Brittney Sherman: on.
She had two years of doing nothing.
She probably played around on the computer.
She had a MySpace page in 2008.
No one was on and
Sonia Meza-Leon: I don't know.
Maybe she didn't know how, so then how do they find those searches,
Brittney Sherman: forensic, whatever.
So
Sonia Meza-Leon: she raised it and then they actually don't deeper.
Exactly.
And that's the part that's weird to me because that's one of those
moments where simply wait until like, you know, oh, I was actually looking
for chlorophyll from the dogs and it came up with chloroform and I'm
like, oh my God, lady, did you just
Brittney Sherman: take credit for that stupid?
I actually stand corrected the night.
It wasn't erased.
The day that Kaylee went missing, it wasn't a risk.
The day that Kaylee was reported.
A month later.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Uh, but who day?
Brittney Sherman: Right?
Because Casey
Sonia Meza-Leon: didn't live with live at the home.
That would have been Cindy and uh, oh, would she, as a grown ass woman have
to look up how to smother a child.
She's not looking that up, Cindy.
Yeah.
She's snow.
And she's erasing it for her.
And for Casey.
Yes.
You think Sidney knew how to figure out what the history
would be if Casey erased it?
Like, what we're saying is Cindy erased it Sydney, or I don't know
if Cindy would know how to do that.
Would
Brittney Sherman: she?
What about George?
Me, but
Sonia Meza-Leon: I don't think George likes Casey.
She, I mean, she really, but you know, what was weird about her?
They, they appear to have a good relationship Jordan, when she's there
at the jail and they're talking to her and she's like, you know, the one
thing I miss most was talking to you and I'm like, man, you're talking about
later, like 10 minutes later, when you're accusing him of like molesting
you, what, what happened there?
You know, he's your best friend right here.
And then, you know, if it serves your purpose, you can say that he molested you.
It's really, really weird.
And I think that was the last straw for George is he's like, I
have been so good to you and so tolerant, and this is how you treat
Brittney Sherman: me.
Yeah.
I think that's probably a good spot for us to call it for Casey Anthony.
We really dug deep into what the evidence was and all of the things
that led up to the trial, including some of the things with the trial.
I think for the next episode, we'll probably dive into really what our
theories are and what some of the theories of the prosecution and what
the defense ended up going with.
Sonia Meza-Leon: Exactly.
So stay tuned, parlor, Scarlet podcasters.
Brittney Sherman: All right.
