Cell Phone “Pings” Tracked Casey Anthony Over Two Week Period

Here’s a little more information about Casey Anthony’s cell phone “pings” and how they may lead to her eventual downfall.

Local 6 News investigative reporter Tony Pipitone has tracked the movements of Casey Anthony by using her cell phone records. Pipitone tracked Anthony during a two week period from Monday, June 16, which was the day Caylee was last seen alive, until Monday, June 30, the day Anthony’s abandoned car was towed from an Orange County Amscot.

From the article:

According to records, Anthony’s cell phone “pinged” 20 different cell towers 754 times in the two-week period. Each time, her cell phone received or sent a text message or phone call, Pipitone reported.

Ninety-seven percent of the pings were to either her boyfriend’s apartment near Winter Park, her friend’s home in Orlando — where she sometimes stayed — her parents’ home off Chickasaw Trail and the Fusian nightclub, where she was photographed partying while Caylee was missing, Pipitone said.

The other 3 percent of the pings — especially during three days in June — have raised questions, Pipitone said.

On Monday, June 16, Anthony’s father, George Anthony, said he he saw his daughter and granddaughter leave his house at about 1 p.m.

“But if they did leave at that time, the cell records show they did not go far. Casey’s cell phone communicated that afternoon through the same three cell towers she could reach from her home,” Pipitone said.

At 1 p.m., Anthony made a 14-minute call to her boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro. At 1:44 p.m., she made a 36-minute call to her then-best friend, Amy Huizenga. At 2:52 p.m., there was an 11-minute call with ex-fiance Jesse Grund.

All of the calls used cell towers that can be reached from her parents’ home, Pipitone said.

But at 4:11 p.m., Anthony began trying to reach her mother, Cindy Anthony, making four attempts in two minutes, according to records. Anthony then traveled north from her parent’s home and called Lazzaro for one minute at 4:19 p.m., Pipitone reported. Two minutes later, she talked to Grund for a minute, and tried to call her mother again at 4:25 p.m., Pipitone said.

There was no other communication from Anthony’s cell phone until a call was made to Lazzaro’s apartment at 5:57 p.m., records show.Two hours later, Anthony and Lazzaro were captured on surveillance video at a Blockbuster, renting a movie that contains a scene of a rotting body in a car trunk, Pipitone said.

On June 17, Anthony returned to her parents’ home around 2:30 p.m., Pipitone reported. At 4 p.m., her phone pinged a tower southwest of the house near Lee Vista Boulevard and South Goldenrod Road, an area where detectives have directed Equusearch volunteers to search for Caylee weeks ago.

At 5:20 p.m., a tower was pinged near Blanchard Park, another site searched in August by Equusearch. Anthony’s cell phone went silent from 5:23 p.m. until 8:23 p.m., perhaps prompting investigators to search the area, Pipitone said.”It was then that Casey’s phone pinged a cell tower near boyfriend Tony Laazaro’s apartment,” Pipitone said.

“By then, around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 17, Caylee had not been seen alive for nearly a day and a half. But remember, chemical evidence in the trunk of Casey’s car indictaes the decomposing body was there up to two and half days after death, so a key question for anyone looking for Caylee’s body (is) ‘Where did Casey go next?'”

On Wednesday, June 18, the day Casey’s parents’ neighbor said Anthony borrowed a shovel and backed her car into the garage, cell phone pings show that Anthony was at or near her parents’ home from 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m., Pipitone said.

Anthony’s phone later pinged a different spot near the Econ Trail, south of Lake Underhill, records show.

It’s also a location that detectives guided Equusearch volunteers to look for signs of Caylee’s body, Pipitone said.

Equusearch will return to that area Nov. 8 to continue the search, Pipitone reported.
