KC:

Well uh, do you.

CMA: They arrested me because they said that KC: Yeah (affirmative), because they said that the person that you dropped Caylee with doesnt even exist. CMA: Because oh, look, they cant find her in the Florida database. Shes not just from Florida. If they would actually listen to anything that I would have said to them they would have had their leads. They maybe could have tracked her down. They havent listened to a KC: thing that I have said.

And do you know that, that whoever has Caylee nobodys going to get away with it. Nobody.

CMA: I know nobodys going to get away with it. But at the same time the only way theyre going to find Caylee is if they actually listen to what Im saying and Im trying to help them and theyre not letting me help them. KC: So how can I help them find her? The best thing you can do baby is listen to me.

CMA: They need to look up her information in a New York database, in a North Carolina database. Other places that shes lived outside of Florida. Thats what I told them even again today. I told them that four times today. I sat up at the police station, up at the County police station for four (inaudible). KC: But she is the one who has Caylee or shes transferred Caylee to somebody else? Because... CMA: Honey, I havent KC: her, no one has been.

CMA: talked to her. I dont know. I havent talked to her. KC: How come everybodys saying that youre not upset? That youre not crying? That you show no caring of where Caylee is at all?
