Summary:

A transcript was released of an interview between investigators and Charles Crittenden at Gentiva Healthcare, where Cindy Anthony was formerly employed. Crittenden had conversations with Cindy Anthony about her relationship with Casey. Crittenden said he knew nothing of any problems between Casey Anthony and her mother, and Cindy Anthony had made no complaints about how her daughter was raising Caylee. Crittenden said Cindy Anthony told him that Casey Anthony had worked for Kodak at Universal Orlando, and she had also worked for Sports Authority for a short time.


Crittenden on Casey Anthony: Crittenden said Casey Anthony did visit her mother at Gentiva. He told investigators that he had seen Casey Anthony in a uniform but wasn't sure her name tag indicated where she was employed. At times, Crittenden said Casey Anthony would drop off Caylee there, and the toddler would leave with her grandmother.


Crittenden on Caylee Disappearance: Crittenden said another employee told him of an argument on Father's Day near the time when Caylee disappeared. He said Cindy Anthony was unable to reach Casey Anthony on the phone very often but had shared text messages with Casey. Crittenden said when Cindy Anthony would ask to speak to Caylee, Casey would always make an excuse, such as Caylee was sleeping or with the babysitter or not available. Crittenden said Cindy Anthony knew it didn't seem right but didn't really want to get involved.
