- 0:00Speaker 1: This is Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Katy Anthony breaking
- 0:09Speaker 1: her silence nearly nine years after her daughter's murder. In
- 0:12Speaker 1: a brand new interview, Anthony insists that she doesn't know
- 0:16Speaker 1: much about the last two hours of the two year
- 0:18Speaker 1: old Kayley's life. Do your understanding how did she do it?
- 0:21Speaker 1: I don't know. You know something about drowning. Possibly, everyone
- 0:25Speaker 1: else has their theories. I don't know. So your parents
- 0:29Speaker 1: had her. My dad did I right? I didn't play.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I did what I was told. I don't remember too
- 0:39Speaker 1: much of what happened. Casey Anthony's dad thinks that his
- 0:43Speaker 1: daughter druggs Kayley so she could just go off and party.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Gave too much to Canley. She fell asleep and didn't
- 0:48Speaker 1: wake up. That's what I feel right now. This is
- 0:51Speaker 1: the most agitated and frustrated that I've been, Even when
- 0:54Speaker 1: I sat with jose and I watched that episode of
- 0:57Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. We all know that toat mom, Casey Anthony
- 1:03Speaker 1: was accused, tried, and acquitted in the murder of her
- 1:07Speaker 1: little two year old girl, Kelly Anthony. But what about
- 1:11Speaker 1: tott Mom, Casey Anthony's other victims? How many people did
- 1:16Speaker 1: she hurt? How many hearts did she break? How many
- 1:20Speaker 1: victims does she really have? I Nancy Grace, this is
- 1:25Speaker 1: Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. The words
- 1:28Speaker 1: my heart hurts and the last days taught Mom. Casey
- 1:33Speaker 1: Anthony's father, George Anthony, breaks his silence after his daughter
- 1:39Speaker 1: taught Mom. Casey Anthony says in her first interview since
- 1:45Speaker 1: she was acquitted, and that he George Anthony was watching
- 1:50Speaker 1: the tought when she went missing. Now you know she
- 1:54Speaker 1: has cast to blame in so many directions, but to
- 1:57Speaker 1: lash out yet again at her parents. You know, George
- 2:03Speaker 1: and Cindy Anthony are now back in the spotlight, painful
- 2:07Speaker 1: memories now being dredged up yet again, memories they were
- 2:11Speaker 1: trying to put behind them, trying to get over, trying
- 2:14Speaker 1: to heal. When out of the blue, taught mom Casey
- 2:17Speaker 1: Anthony just can't go away for Pete's sake, crashes back
- 2:21Speaker 1: onto the media scene and another interview, damning her father,
- 2:27Speaker 1: George Anthony. Now let me tell you the way I
- 2:32Speaker 1: recall the Anthony's were portrayed at the time that little
- 2:36Speaker 1: Kelly went missing. I remember one particular video clip. It
- 2:40Speaker 1: was of George screaming at the media and as I
- 2:46Speaker 1: recalled Cindy, his wife was right there with him to
- 2:49Speaker 1: get off of his yard. You know what, It was
- 2:52Speaker 1: played over and over and over and he he just
- 2:56Speaker 1: looked crazy. When I think about that clip, though, what
- 2:59Speaker 1: I think about the way George and Cindy were portrayed,
- 3:03Speaker 1: do you blame them? I mean, the thing they loved
- 3:06Speaker 1: the most in the world, two year old Kelly was
- 3:10Speaker 1: dead gone and their daughter, their only daughter, suspected of murder.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Then to have the media camping out, literally getting up
- 3:21Speaker 1: in their front yard. They couldn't come in or out
- 3:24Speaker 1: without being harassed and harangued. I guess they did yell.
- 3:28Speaker 1: And that was the little capsule, the snapshot of George
- 3:32Speaker 1: Anthony and Cindy Anthony that everyone saw. But I want
- 3:36Speaker 1: to tell you about the first time I met with them.
- 3:39Speaker 1: There were nothing like that at all. They were kind
- 3:43Speaker 1: and gracious and decent people, and they knew what I
- 3:47Speaker 1: thought about their daughter, and they defended their daughter. Yet
- 3:51Speaker 1: they were very, very kind to me. I remember we
- 3:54Speaker 1: sat down in a restaurant and they could not have
- 3:59Speaker 1: been more civil, more open. Their love for Kelly was
- 4:05Speaker 1: autmost and it was that love I believe that led
- 4:10Speaker 1: to the final night Kelly was in the home with
- 4:13Speaker 1: them alive. So what to first dispel to you the
- 4:16Speaker 1: way Cindy and George Anthony had been portrayed in the media.
- 4:20Speaker 1: It's crazy, trashy, volatile, redneck, not likable at all. They
- 4:28Speaker 1: were not like that at all. I promise you nothing
- 4:32Speaker 1: like that at all. I'm just thinking about to the
- 4:35Speaker 1: time of the trial of Top Mom and the way
- 4:38Speaker 1: everything went down. At the time Kelly disappeared and my
- 4:43Speaker 1: mind was killed, she was living off her mom and dad.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Now she was well up in her twenties. She had
- 4:50Speaker 1: had this baby. She wouldn't say who the father was,
- 4:53Speaker 1: so there was no way of getting child support from
- 4:56Speaker 1: whoever the father was, and her parents total lee financially
- 5:01Speaker 1: and emotionally supported her. Now she had the baby, and
- 5:06Speaker 1: Cindy and George took care of the baby, took care
- 5:09Speaker 1: of Kelly as if she were their own child, while
- 5:13Speaker 1: tod Mom would go out partying. Now listen to this.
- 5:17Speaker 1: She would tell them she was going to work at
- 5:20Speaker 1: Universal Studios. As I recall, she had a fake idea
- 5:24Speaker 1: or a badge or an outfit or something to make
- 5:27Speaker 1: them think she really did have a job at Universal,
- 5:30Speaker 1: but whether she had a badge or not, it's irrelevant.
- 5:33Speaker 1: She told them she had a job and would actually
- 5:36Speaker 1: like pretend to leave during the day. I don't know
- 5:38Speaker 1: where she went, but of course she didn't have the
- 5:40Speaker 1: baby with her, and the rest of the time she
- 5:42Speaker 1: was just like chill ax and laying on the sofa
- 5:45Speaker 1: having chips and dips and watching TV while they supported
- 5:48Speaker 1: her and took care of her baby. So that was
- 5:52Speaker 1: a scenario that had been going on for a long time.
- 5:56Speaker 1: We know she wouldn't finish school and get a degree
- 5:59Speaker 1: or or go to work. For Pete's sake. You know,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I've been working at least two jobs since I was fifteen. Okay,
- 6:05Speaker 1: So to hear her, she'll acts and with their feet
- 6:08Speaker 1: up on the coffee table at her parents house while
- 6:11Speaker 1: the two of them work to support her and her baby.
- 6:15Speaker 1: That's not right, But that's a whole another can of worms.
- 6:18Speaker 1: So just get this mental image of top mom kicked
- 6:21Speaker 1: back on the sofa watching TV, faking her job at
- 6:25Speaker 1: Universal as George's Cindy work to support their grown daughter
- 6:30Speaker 1: living at home. Now, the day that Kelly goes missing,
- 6:33Speaker 1: this is what happens. There was a horrible, horrible argument
- 6:37Speaker 1: that night, that day between Cindy and top Mom Casey Anthony,
- 6:42Speaker 1: And at the root of every argument it was about Kelly,
- 6:47Speaker 1: the way she was or was not raising Kelly and
- 6:51Speaker 1: being a decent mom to Kelly. Cindy and George wanted
- 6:56Speaker 1: the baby. They wanted to be able to take care
- 6:59Speaker 1: of the baby. But that night, just to spite her mother.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Eyes to this day believe top Mom Casey Anthony has
- 7:07Speaker 1: this huge fight and Casey leaves, stops out Top Mom,
- 7:12Speaker 1: Casey Anthony leaves the house, stomps out with the baby
- 7:16Speaker 1: just to twist the knife and send his back because
- 7:19Speaker 1: there goes the things she loves the most, the baby.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Kelly was never seen alive again after that volatile argument
- 7:26Speaker 1: with her mother. I mean, ungrateful. Oh gosh. I remember
- 7:31Speaker 1: when I was trying to go to law school. My parents,
- 7:34Speaker 1: of course, you have been working their whole lives. My
- 7:36Speaker 1: father on the railroad. My mom had worked her way
- 7:40Speaker 1: from a bank teller to a CFO of a company
- 7:42Speaker 1: for Pete's sake, and there was no way I was
- 7:45Speaker 1: going to ask him to pay for law school tuition.
- 7:48Speaker 1: And I remember going and taking out those loans and
- 7:51Speaker 1: loans and loans and loans and working. I remember mopping
- 7:55Speaker 1: a floor at the sandwich shop and cleaning the commodes
- 7:58Speaker 1: in the bathrooms. And Top Mom did not have a
- 8:02Speaker 1: problem taking from her parents and not just living off
- 8:05Speaker 1: of them. But some people believe taking money from wallets
- 8:10Speaker 1: and you know, just using them. Those are allegations that
- 8:14Speaker 1: have never been proven at trial. So that evening she
- 8:17Speaker 1: storms out with the baby. The baby has never seen
- 8:20Speaker 1: alive again, you know, Alan. Before I go any further
- 8:23Speaker 1: with a story and Top mon Casey Anthony's other victims,

- 9:28Speaker 1: are our partner. Alan. I want to get back to
- 9:30Speaker 1: Todd Mom and her other victims. Todd Mom and the
- 9:34Speaker 1: baby Kelly are now gone, say a month, and then
- 9:38Speaker 1: suddenly Cindy Anthony at their home gets a notice that
- 9:43Speaker 1: her car has been towed. Is that the toe shop?
- 9:46Speaker 1: So she goes to get it. When she opens it up,
- 9:50Speaker 1: she is just knocked out by the smell. And when
- 9:52Speaker 1: she calls and I won one. She is the one
- 9:55Speaker 1: that triggers the entire investigation into where is Kelly. She
- 10:00Speaker 1: calls about after opening the car and she says on
- 10:04Speaker 1: the on the call, the damn car smells like a
- 10:08Speaker 1: dead body. That really triggered the whole thing. Then it
- 10:11Speaker 1: turns out all the top Mom's lies began to be uncovered,
- 10:15Speaker 1: her lies about her brother, her father. She basically gets
- 10:22Speaker 1: arrested for not reporting Kelly missing. Now, remember she was arrested.
- 10:27Speaker 1: This is something Alan that I learned. There was a
- 10:32Speaker 1: person basically with her all the time from the bonding company,
- 10:36Speaker 1: a female, and so Top Mom gets arrested and makes
- 10:40Speaker 1: bill pretty quickly on I guess a nature of child
- 10:44Speaker 1: neglect or mistreating, mistreating a child for not reporting Kelly
- 10:49Speaker 1: being missing and basically making the circumstances so that the
- 10:53Speaker 1: child would be able to be quote kidnapped. She gets out,
- 10:57Speaker 1: she comes in that night, walks in from the jail
- 11:01Speaker 1: on this first charge, walks in and says, Hey, I'm home.
- 11:05Speaker 1: What's for supper? What? Now? That That is what the
- 11:11Speaker 1: bonds people told me off the record at the time.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Now it's on the record, but it doesn't matter anymore
- 11:17Speaker 1: because she's been acquitted. But she walked in not one
- 11:20Speaker 1: thing about where's Kelly? Have you heard anything? What's the latest?
- 11:24Speaker 1: What can you tell me? I'm I'm sick. No, She
- 11:26Speaker 1: walks in and says, I'm starved. What did she cook
- 11:30Speaker 1: for supper? What's for dinner? That is where her head was.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Not one thing about Kelly. I just that just struck me.
- 11:40Speaker 1: After that, you know that the parents tried to stand
- 11:43Speaker 1: by her, tried to take care of her, still paying
- 11:47Speaker 1: for all of her expenses, still trying to believe in
- 11:50Speaker 1: her innocence. And I recall distinctly, Alan, do you remember
- 11:55Speaker 1: those jail house videos in Florida and some of the
- 11:58Speaker 1: jails your visit it's are recorded, And when her mom
- 12:03Speaker 1: would try to ask her about when was the last
- 12:07Speaker 1: time you saw Kelly? What happened? They were trying so
- 12:09Speaker 1: desperately to believe her, she tore her mother and father
- 12:14Speaker 1: a knew tailhole. Okay, just written, and I'm screaming at them.
- 12:21Speaker 1: It's all our video, and I was just stunned. I mean,
- 12:25Speaker 1: here her parents coming to see her in jail. They
- 12:28Speaker 1: want to find out about where Kelly is, what could
- 12:31Speaker 1: possibly have happened? Hello, your daughter killed her? But they're
- 12:36Speaker 1: trying to ask her very gently, I might add, and
- 12:39Speaker 1: she unleash. She's on them like nobody's business. The ungrateful
- 12:45Speaker 1: behavior toward her parents, plus obviously skating the issue, ducking
- 12:51Speaker 1: the question, but it also made me think she would
- 12:54Speaker 1: treat grown people like that in public? What would she
- 12:57Speaker 1: do to her daughter? All alone? Okay to you'r all,
- 13:01Speaker 1: little girl, Nancy. I have that audio and in fact,
- 13:05Speaker 1: in this clip Casey Anthony tells her parents that she
- 13:09Speaker 1: is so angry at them for pressing her for more
- 13:12Speaker 1: information about what might have happened to Kaylee that she
- 13:15Speaker 1: says she was even more angry at them, her parents,
- 13:19Speaker 1: than she was at you, Nancy Grace, for things you
- 13:21Speaker 1: were saying about her on television. Mom, I know what
- 13:26Speaker 1: I'm honestly up against. Do you guys understand what I'm
- 13:28Speaker 1: honestly up against? And with keeping me here, you're not
- 13:31Speaker 1: helping me help myself. I'm sorry to see that. M
- 13:36Speaker 1: s Hi. We don't have the means to get you
- 13:38Speaker 1: out anyway, sweetheart, we don't. I understand that. But the
- 13:43Speaker 1: opportunity was there and it wasn't taken advantage of, and
- 13:47Speaker 1: we don't have an opportunity to where you're hearing. Just
- 13:49Speaker 1: gived up the phone, please, I'm sorry. I don't want
- 13:51Speaker 1: to get frustrated. Just give it up the phone. This
- 13:57Speaker 1: is seriously the first time that I've been angry, that
- 14:00Speaker 1: I've been this frustrated to where I I can't even
- 14:04Speaker 1: think straight at this moment. Throughout this entire thing, I
- 14:07Speaker 1: was piste off that day at the police station. I
- 14:09Speaker 1: was mad when all of that happened, but I tried
- 14:12Speaker 1: to look at things objectively. In this entire time, I
- 14:17Speaker 1: haven't sat in my room for the entire month and
- 14:20Speaker 1: been mad, not once, not one time. But right now,
- 14:25Speaker 1: this is the most agitated and frustrated that I've been.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Even when I've sat with jose and I watched that
- 14:31Speaker 1: episode of Nancy Grace and stuff that was being said
- 14:34Speaker 1: about Mom and being said about me and him and
- 14:36Speaker 1: everybody else, and stuff that I've heard. It's frustrated me,
- 14:40Speaker 1: but I've let it go. Right now, I'm so hurt
- 14:44Speaker 1: by everything. I don't even know what to say, and
- 14:47Speaker 1: I hate to say that, well, I'm not I'm not
- 14:51Speaker 1: trying to have such a Neither of the either or
- 14:52Speaker 1: Mom would. We're not trying too, And if we are,
- 14:55Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm I'm sorry for them. I know that's
- 14:57Speaker 1: not your intention. You You have to understand where I'm
- 15:01Speaker 1: coming from in this, and obviously none of you are
- 15:04Speaker 1: by still expecting me a month literally out of loop,
- 15:08Speaker 1: to have some sort of new insight on stuff. I mean, really,
- 15:18Speaker 1: not only did they continue to visit her in the
- 15:20Speaker 1: jail and try to stand by her, try to make
- 15:23Speaker 1: sense of her story, but then at trial that still
- 15:27Speaker 1: stood by her, Cindy Anthony even taking the stand, risking
- 15:32Speaker 1: charges of perjury to take the blame for those damning
- 15:37Speaker 1: computer searches that taught Mom had conducted on the computer,
- 15:41Speaker 1: like breaking neck. I think was one of them how
- 15:44Speaker 1: to make homemade chloroform. I've never looked up how to
- 15:47Speaker 1: make homemade chloroform? Why would you even want to know that?
- 15:50Speaker 1: So ultimately, remember this, at trial, tot Mom allowed her
- 15:56Speaker 1: defense because what your defense does? You have to write
- 15:59Speaker 1: a high to tell the jury that her father molested
- 16:04Speaker 1: her and that she believes that the baby drowned and
- 16:09Speaker 1: her father cover up e hid the body because the
- 16:13Speaker 1: baby drowned in the pool. Why in the world would
- 16:15Speaker 1: you do that? Why wouldn't you call my one one
- 16:18Speaker 1: to try to save the baby, go the hospital, give
- 16:21Speaker 1: the baby an appropriate funeral if the baby died, why
- 16:24Speaker 1: why would you go throw the baby away in a
- 16:26Speaker 1: trash bag? Because the baby had a pool accident. So
- 16:30Speaker 1: that is the claim. She attacked her father at trial
- 16:33Speaker 1: and her brother and said it was all the dad's fault.
- 16:37Speaker 1: That was her story at trial. Now that she's given
- 16:40Speaker 1: this interview, she says she doesn't really know how the
- 16:43Speaker 1: baby died. That's different from trial, and again, in her
- 16:48Speaker 1: own way, lashes back out at her father. I mean
- 16:51Speaker 1: it never ends with this woman. She says, well, you know, basically,
- 16:56Speaker 1: a cop will fly. My dad was a cop. You
- 16:59Speaker 1: can read it to that what you want. She said.
- 17:02Speaker 1: When she was asked about all the lies she told police,
- 17:05Speaker 1: she responds, quote, my dad was a cop. You can
- 17:08Speaker 1: read into that what you want. So here we are
- 17:12Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Years later, she finally speaks,
- 17:16Speaker 1: and instead of talking really about her daughter very much
- 17:21Speaker 1: or if she didn't do it, trying to find out
- 17:23Speaker 1: who did do it, she lashes out at her father again.
- 17:29Speaker 1: He says, quote, my heart hurts now. Their lawyer gave
- 17:34Speaker 1: a statement. Their lawyer's Mark Lippman. Good guy, I remember
- 17:38Speaker 1: very very well. He says that George has continued to
- 17:43Speaker 1: try and move forward from this tragedy and was vindicated
- 17:46Speaker 1: on multiple occasions, is once again forced to relive the hints,
- 17:51Speaker 1: the rumors, lies, allegations made against him by Casey Anthony.
- 17:56Speaker 1: He specifically states that quote his heart hurts even more now.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I just wonder what else this man has to endure.
- 18:06Speaker 1: What else does Cindy Anthony have to endure. I mean,
- 18:09Speaker 1: it's top I'm just not going to be happy until
- 18:11Speaker 1: her father kills over dad of a heart attack because
- 18:13Speaker 1: of her. I mean, what more does she want from them?
- 18:17Speaker 1: You know, I look back after having just lost my
- 18:20Speaker 1: father as some of the happiest times in my life
- 18:24Speaker 1: was with my father and mother, you know, growing up
- 18:28Speaker 1: and even after my twins were born, going on vaccasions
- 18:31Speaker 1: with them, them staying with us, you know, helping me
- 18:35Speaker 1: raise the children, just everything. It just confounds me how
- 18:41Speaker 1: she can do this to her parents, who have stuck
- 18:45Speaker 1: by her through thick and thin, and you know, even
- 18:49Speaker 1: at the very end here there are reports, according to
- 18:53Speaker 1: People magazine that her parents have still tried to have
- 18:59Speaker 1: a relation and ship with her, that in the past
- 19:03Speaker 1: year or so they've tried to have a relationship. But
- 19:06Speaker 1: I guess that's all off now, right, So how many
- 19:10Speaker 1: more victims does top mom Casey Anthony want. And she
- 19:14Speaker 1: finally speaks years after the acquittal to what trash herd
- 19:18Speaker 1: dot again, I don't know. I don't know when she'll
- 19:21Speaker 1: ever be satisfied. So I'm gonna close today with the
- 19:26Speaker 1: memory of little Kelly and the thought of probably the
- 19:31Speaker 1: only real love Kelly ever knew or had, and that
- 19:35Speaker 1: was the love she got from Cindy and George Anthony.
- 19:39Speaker 1: They were the ones that took care of her. They
- 19:40Speaker 1: were the ones that loved her, They were the ones
- 19:43Speaker 1: that wanted her, and even now they are the ones
- 19:46Speaker 1: that are still being punished. They are top Mom Casey
- 19:51Speaker 1: Anthony's other victims simply say thank you again for being
- 19:55Speaker 1: with us and making this podcast possible. Friends, thank you
- 19:59Speaker 1: for being with me. Nancy Grace signing off from Crime Stories.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Goodbye friends,
