1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: This is a special edition of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Tod Mom speaks, Healey would be twelve fish year she'd be.

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: But you're also convicted of one thing, lying to the cops.

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: A lot of the cops every day, the cops a

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: lot of people every day. I'm still not even certain

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: as I stand here today about what happened. I don't

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: care understanding how did she do? I don't know. I

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: don't give about when anybody thinks about me. I don't

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: care about that. I never will. I'm okay with myself.

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: I sleep pretty good at night. By now, everyone unless

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: you're living in a cave, has learned that Todd Mom

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Casey Anthony has spoken, has broken her so called silence.

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm stunned actually at what she has said. I didn't

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: see Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: with us. I covered the trial of top Mom Casey

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Anthony many years ago. In fact, I covered the missing

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: person case when her two year old little girl killing

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: went missing. I recall being one of the first ones

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: on the story and when I heard the facts, she

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: states quote, I sleep pretty good at night. Really, you

21
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: know what, For many many years I have prosecuted violent

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: felonies in which children were kidnapped, were abused, were murdered.

23
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: And I have never, once, not once met one parent

24
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 1: that quote sleeps pretty good at night after their child

25
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: has been taken and murdered. No, you never quote sleep

26
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: pretty good at night. Even now, all these years since

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: my fiance was murdered, I don't go one week that

28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't wake up in the middle of the night

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: and wonder what he went through when he was murdered.

30
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: To sleep pretty good at night, How can that be

31
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: when your child's body was found just ten houses away

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: from your own home, thrown away like trash, left out

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: in the elements to decompose, for possums and dogs and

34
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: other animals to tear her body apart as she slept

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: down the street. How many times would I have wondered?

36
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: How how how often had I driven past my child's

37
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: dead body just feed away from me? It would drive

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: me to the brink of sanity. Yet top Mom says

39
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I sleep pretty good at night. Once again, it's all

40
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: about her and not about her child. Kelly. That's the

41
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: way it's always been, and that's the way it is now.

42
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: I want to say thanks Simple Safe Home Alarm system,

44

Speaker 1: to night jobs to make my house payment, I had

50

Speaker 1: a security system in my house. Now with my twins,

51
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: we have home security. A lot of people think they

52
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: can't afford it. You can. It's four a month with

55
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: price on protecting your family. And I don't mean just possessions,

56
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, sure, what would I What would I say?

57
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: I would say my grandmother's engagement ring. I probably say

58
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: the letters my fiance wrote me before he was killed.

59
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Let's see. I I'll be trying to save all our

60
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: family albums that I've worked so hard on. The rest

61
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: of it, you know, forget it. But what about my twins?

62
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: About that? I mean, it's not just about possessions. So

63
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: I want to thank simply Safe from making today possible.

64
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, simply safe top mom. Casey Anthony goes on

65
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: to say she has no idea even now how her

66
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: daughter died. I really because it trial. Her defense was

67
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: she authorized her lawyers to state that her daughter likely

68
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: drowned dead in the family pool and then blamed her father, George,

69
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: who I believe to be completely innocent of discarding the

70
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: TAPS body in that manner. That's what she said at trial,

71
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: that Kelly died in the family pool by accident, in

72
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: a swimming accident, and instead of calling nine one one

73
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: or calling police or having a proper funeral, they just

74
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: decided to just throw the body out and let it decompose,

75
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: be picked apart by animals. That was the defense at trial.

76
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: So what she forgot that she forgot how her daughter died,

77
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: because that's what she said at trial, that's what her

78
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: lawyer said. But in the last six years she forgot,

79
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: she doesn't remember, has no idea how her daughter died. Wow,

80
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: that's that's certainly odd, isn't it that you forget how

81
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: your daughter died, or at least forgot what you told

82
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: a jury. What I have to say to that is

83
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: it is simply moral lies. I only wonder what her

84
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: motivation is for coming forward. Reports are that Top Mom

85
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: Casey Anthony tried to back out of this statement running

86
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: being printed five times. Now I see why. Casey Anthony

87
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: also says that she quote got in trouble because she

88
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: is one of the few unfortunate people to admit she lied.

89
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: That is absolutely not true. She lied through her teeth

90
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: to everybody she knew or seemed to love. It is

91
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: unrefuted by her own words that her daughter goes missing

92
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: after an argument she had with her mother. Remember, her mother, Cindy,

93
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: wanted to take the baby and raise her herself, but

94
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Top Mom Casey Anthony wouldn't have that. Oh no, Suddenly

95
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: her daughter quote goes missing, and she blames a nonexistent

96
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: nanny named denied A Gonzales of kidnapping her daughter, and then,

97
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: by her own account, she goes for thirty days. If

98
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: your child went missing, wouldn't you call police, wouldn't you

99
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: set up a search station. Wouldn't you go out run

100
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: into the streets looking for your child? Wouldn't you? But no,

101
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: what Top Mom did was lie to everybody she knew.

102
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: She left her parents home, ostensibly with her daughter. She

103
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: slung up with a boyfriend. She never mentioned to the

104
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: boyfriend that her child was missing. She didn't look for

105
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: the child, she didn't call police, nothing. Instead, she went

106
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: to a local store and bought sexy lingerie and a

107
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: case of beer to party with her boyfriend. She went

108
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: to nightclubs every night, including a hot body contest, and

109
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: there are photos of her and a METI skirt and

110
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: push up Brian living it up at a nightclub while

111
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: her daughter is missing. It brings to mind the time

112
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: I was in Babies or Us and I was stooped down,

113
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: really on on my knees looking for organic sunscream okay,

114
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: And I had John David and Lucy right beside me.

115
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: And when I looked and looked through all the different offerings,

116
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: I stood up. I turned around and Lucy was there

117
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and John David was gone, and I screamed, bloody murder,

118
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: my baby's gone. Locked the doors. I mean I screamed

119
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: it because I wanted to find my son then, and

120
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I will never forget that feeling. Thank God, he was

121
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: just a few rows over. He had darted off to

122
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: look for something. But think about it. Top mom's own

123
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: story is that the nanny who didn't exist kidnapped her baby,

124
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: and she kept it a secret from her lover, her mother,

125
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: her father, her friends, her family, everybody for thirty days

126
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: until her mother busted her. Remember top mom's car got

127
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: told and her mother got the notice in the mail

128
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: and went to go get the car out of the

129
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: toe area. And when she opened the car, she said,

130
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: and I quote, this car smells like the damn car

131
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: smells like a dead body. That is what her own

132
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: mother said. Why because the dead body had been in

133
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: the car her daughter's. So let's think about that. She

134
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: says that she got in trouble because she's one of

135
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: the few people that admit she lied. She didn't come

136
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,359
Speaker 1: out and admitt she was busted, and all started unraveling.

137
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: She had been telling her parents she worked at Universal Studios,

138
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: even had an outfit of Universals or a name tag

139
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: or something. And she led police all the way to Universal,

140
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: to the security gate and the security guard and tried

141
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: to get in like she worked there. She didn't. That

142
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: was a lie. Cops busted her. That is how it

143
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: came out. She was lying. She never said, look, guys,

144
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: I want to find my daughter. I want to tell

145
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: you the truth. This is what happened. That's not how

146
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: it went down. Okay, let's not be confused about the facts.

147
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: What did she thank me forgot what happened at trial?

148
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: She is now with an O J. Defense investigator and

149
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: says she empathizes with O. J. Simpson. Okay, see, and

150
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: now that part I could predict. You know, birds of

151
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: a feather flock together, that whole thing. So she empathizes

152
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: with O. J. Simpson, who was a double killer. All right.

153
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: I could just imagine those two sitting around having drinks,

154
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: swapping stories about how they got away with murder. Now, lately,

155
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: the trial judge, who I respect a lot, Bell Van Perry,

156
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: has come out and said he thinks taught mom Casey

157
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: Anthony accidentally killed her child with chloroform. What you don't

158
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: use chloroform on a child, That in itself is aggravated assault,

159
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: and a death occurred homemade chloroform. I don't know what

160
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: Judge Bell va Perry was thinking, but you don't accidentally

161
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: overdo it with the chloroform on your child's mouth and nose.

162
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: That is an aggravated assault. And if a death occurs

163
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: from that, that is quite simply a felony murder. A

164
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: death that occurred in the commission of a felony, no

165
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: accidental chloroforming, she taught. Mom compares herself to Alice in Wonderland. What.

166
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't think Alison Wonderland was ever accused of murder.

167
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: She also blames the media. She blames everybody but her self.

168
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: She's blamed her mother, her father, the media, the nanny,

169
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: the this, the that it's not the media's fault, the

170
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: media simply reported. She goes on to brag that she

171
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: hangs out with friends in bars and that men buy

172
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: her drinks and are attracted to her. You know, in

173
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: the wake of your daughter being murdered and left dead

174
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: to be you know, bits of food for animals. I

175
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: don't think this would be the time to be worried

176
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: about men being attracted to you in bars and buying

177
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: you drinks. I guess something's never changed, right And last,

178
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, when I think about my children's future, I

179
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: think about what all I want to give them. I

180
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: want to give them everything I never had, everything my

181
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: mom and dad never had. M I want them to

182
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to if they want to go to

183
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: a fancy Ivy League school, to not have student loans

184
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: around their next to not have to work two and

185
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: three jobs from fourteen on to make it. I dream

186
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: of them being a doctor or a scientist, or a lawyer,

187
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: or an inventor or a pianist. I dream of them

188
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: doing well at piano and singing in the church choir,

189
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: and one day getting a graduate degree and marrying and

190
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: having a family. Those are my dreams, and I hope

191
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: those things for them. What does top Mom say her

192
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: daughter would be now if she had not been killed?

193
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: A badass? You know, I'm not even going to comment
