Family Optimism Appeared Stronger After Jail Visit With Casey

July 25, 2008

For the first time since Casey Anthony's arrest on July 16, parents George and Cindy Anthony and her brother Lee Anthony visited with her in jail. The family appeared to have renewed optimism that Caylee Anthony is still alive and some of what Casey told investigators will soon be confirmed as being true.

Lee Anthony indicated to reporters that some of the reported "lies" about Casey's employment claims and about the missing nanny Zenaida, have been cleared up. According to Lee, Casey was employed by Kodak, and later Colorvision, at Universal Studios. Both companies held contracts with Universal therefore Universal would not have records of Casey Anthony's employment.

Lee also said there are two people who can confirm that Zanaida Gonzales exists. Casey told her family that one even hired Gonzales as a nanny.

Lee said Casey has tried to communicate how verification of things she has told them could be made, but he felt that police thought she was lying and decided not to follow up on her claims.

"Now we can actually verify these are real people," he said "We need to contact them. Now we're one step closer to finding this person that took Caylee."
