KC:
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?

stay composed to talk to detectives, to make other phone calls, to do other things. I cant sit here and be crying every two seconds like I want to. I cant. KC: Okay, Casey dont yell at me. Im on.
CMA: I know youre on my side. Im not trying to yell at you. KC: Nobody is saying anything bad about you. Your family is with you one hundred percent. CMA: No, theyre not. KC: Yes. CMA: Thats bullshit because I just watched the news and heard everything that
my Mom said. Nobody in my own family is on my side. KC: Yes, they are. Nobody has said.
CMA: They just want Caylee back. Thats all theyre worried about right now is getting Caylee back. And you know what? Thats all I care about right now. KC: Casey, your daughter.
CMA: But at the same time I need their help. KC: your, your flesh and blood, your baby girl.
