**NOTE: The date of this transcript shows June 30, 2008 but obviously that can't be correct since Casey Anthony wasn't arrested until July 15, 2008 so my best guess is this was suppose to be July 30, 2008.

2 up, the last time. you actually saw Casey was June 17h, the 18th or 19th, around

22 fix it, but, uh.
23 YM: Alright. So the last time you saw her was July 7th? And then you never, she
24 never sent you a text about Caylee, or a text about you know...
25 CS: Well except for the one that's saying that she was missing for thirty-two days.

15

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 YM: And that was?
2 CS: Uh, July 16th.
3 YM: Okay.
4 CS: Uhm, that was the only ...
5 YM: So between July 16th and June, July 7th, any messages about Caylee or her
6 whereabouts...
7 CS: No sir.
8 YM: ...or missing? Alright. What do you think kind of happened? You, you, you've
9 known her for three years. You, you kind of dated her. You talked to her. Well
10 what's your, what's your gut feeling saying about what happened?
11 CS: Honestly, I, I can never see her harming her on purpose. But something's telling
12 me that something accidentally happened, you know, and now she's scared to do
13 anything about it. I know that's farfetched or anything like that. Or the boyfriend
14 has something to do with it. I don't know, there's so many theories that have
15 been going in my head.
16 YM: Did she ever make any comments to you about uhm, how Caylee might have
17 kind of disrupt their life and she coudn't do?
18 CS: No. She said, I mean obviously she was a surprise, but she never said anything
19 like that where she tried to, or that Caylee was harmful to Casey, you know, as
20 far as disrupting her life.
21 YM: Uh, kind of like uh, she's an obstacle? Uh, she can't go out and have friends and
22 then party and, and she has to always worry about. She ever mention anything,
23 or ever come across to you like...
24 CS: Not really. I mean she always, her daughter was her life. Her daughter was the
25 first part of her life, you know, and she'd go out with her friends, Like when we

16

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 went out we didn't really go out drinking at all, yeah (affirmative). Uhm, we'd go
2 out and go to a movie and then her mom would call her at twelve o'clock at night
3 saying, "You need to come home," and she'd go home.
4 YM: Did she ever tell you what her relationship was with her mom?
5 CS: Uhm, she said that she just had a really strong relationship with her mom, but not
6 so much with her dad.
7 YM: Did she say why or?
8 CS: Uhm, she said that her dad would get involved in her life too much and like try to
9 push his beliefs on her. Like uhm, just how you should act, how you should
10 work. When, and uh, when this whole situation happened where they thought
11 they were getting a divorce, her mom said that you know, we're going to be
12 together and dad's going to be out of our life, I guess that was a lie then.
13 YM: Uh-hum (affirmative),
14 CS: But uh ...
15 YM: Did she say ...
16 CS: (Unintelligible,) Oh, she was talking about buying a house. Uhm, I forget what
17 the subdivision was called. It's by the dump on Curry Ford. Uhm, that her and
18 her mom were talking about going and getting a new house for her and all this
19 other stuff. And she was saying that two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is
20 cheap for a house, which I don't know what kind of house she was looking at,
21 but, (chuckles).
22 YM: Do you know when this conversation was about the house?
23 CS: Uhm, it was actually July, when she came over, or June 17th, sorry.
24 YM: Okay, so June 17th she started saying about her and her mom moving into a
25 different house (inaudible)?

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 CS: No, just her and Caylee.
2 YM: Oh, okay.
3 CS: And but the mom would come and look at it with them. Which I found out was
4 not true at all. They had never even looked at it.
5 YM: You ever meet Amy Huizenga, her friend?
6 CS: Uhm, yes.
7 YM: She ever say anything about moving in with Amy or?
8 CS: No. Uhm, I actually, one more thing, I just went over to Casey's house with her
9 parents and all her friends ....
10 YM: Uh-hum (affirmative).
11 CS: ... about a week lat. .. not last Sunday, the Sunday before last.
12 YM: Uh-hum (affirmative).
13 CS: So I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
14 YM: Uhm, what, what were you guys talking about at the house? What was the
15 conversation about?
16 CS: Uhm, basically we were trying to give all the information to get her mom to figure
17 out anything that's going on, and kind of all of us to vent to each other because
18 we....
19 YM: Alright.
20 CS: We can't really talk to anybody else about it. And uhm, it was basically her
21 closest friends.
22 YM: Did you, if you had to pick someone that Casey was very, very close to, uh, and
23 she would consider her best friend...
24 CS: Yeah (affirmative).
25 YM: ...who would that be?

18

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 CS: Uhm, Annie. Uhm, and, and ....
2 YM: ( Spelling)?
3 CS: ... her last name. Yes. Her last name starts with a B. Uhm, which, we, when I,
4 we were going out we'd go to concerts together and you know, we were together
5 a lot. ..
6 YM: Uh-hum (affirmative).
7 CS: ...and they were together a lot.
8 YM: Did uhm, did Casey ever have a place where she liked to go to think? Any like
9 alone places that you know of? Like she ever mention a park or?
10 CS: She'd go to uhm, it's a park up at Dean. Jay Blanchard.
11 YM: Blanchard Park?
12 CS: Yeah (affirmative).
13 YM: And one particular area she would go or sit, you know ....
14 CS: No, she" ..
15 YM: Why would she go there?
16 CS: Just to take Caylee out And she never gave a reason. She just said to take
17 Caylee out and play with her out in the yard.
18 YM: Okay. You ever been with her at Blanchard Park when she took Caylee?
19 CS: No.
20 YM: Uhm, aside from that was there any other quiet places that she would go, or any
21 place, like if she was stressing out and ...
22 CS: Right.
23 YM: ...and she would go somewhere like ....
24 CS: Uhm ....
25 YM: ...like some people go to the beach, or some people ...

19

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 CS: Right.
2 YM: ...just, you know ....
3 CS: Well she would drive to the beach sometimes. Uhm, I've been to the beach with
4 her a couple times with Caylee
5 YM: Uh-hum (affjrmative).
6 CS: ...and they, with friends. But she would drive to the beach with friends. Nothing
7 really alone. Like she never, the only place she ever said she went alone with
8 Cayles was uh, Blanchard, at least to me.
9 YM: Do you know any places over on the, on the far east side, like near Bithlo? Any
10 friends that might live out there?
11 CS: Not that I can think of.
12 YM: No? Uh, so aside from Amy, well is there anyone else that she would open up
13 to, or kind of you know, ...
14 CS: Uhm ....
15 YM: ... tell her dirty, little secrets to, or anything like that?
16 CS: Not, not that I can think of. I mean ...
17 YM: Okay. (Makes sounds.) I know, I know I've asked you a bunch of questions.
18 CS: Yes sir.
19 YM: You know I don't know if there's anything that I might have stepped over here
20 and I apologize. Is there anything else that, that you think uh, about Casey,
21 about Caylee, about this whole situation that you think is important that I should
22 know about?
23 CS: Uhm, (sighs).
24 YM: Any actions, or conversation, or, or just stuff that happened...
25 CS: Yeah (affirmative), I mean ....

20

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 YM: ...that made you go, hmm?
2 CS: Uh, see that's, the whole thing has been weird because I've seen the way she
3 interacts with her kid, and I've been to that house a million, her house a million
4 times and seen her fall down and she'd pick her up and kiss her and like, "You're
5 okay," and then that's it. So it's, the whole thing just strikes me weird that
6 anything would happen where she's acting the way she does in court.
7 YM: Uhm, have you ever caught her in a lie?
8 CS: Oh, (sighs).
9 YM: (Inaudible)?
10 CS: Yes. But it was something nominal, like where she was like as far as like you
11 know, she was out with a friend and she told me she was at home. But...
12 YM: Did you ever uhm, uhm, did you ever have reason to doubt that she worked at
13 Universal?
14 CS: No.I mean she always seemed like she had money. And I know they said she
15 was taking from her parents or something, but like she would never have me pay
16 for anything when we went out. Like she would always offer to pay but I would
17 pay for two tickets, or something like that. She would never want me to pay for
18 anything.
19 YM: How would she pay for stuff like when she paid? Do you remember?
20 CS: Uh, she had cash.
21 YM: What about uhm, when she worked for Sports Authority? She ever?
22 CS: (Sighs.) Uhm...
23 YM: Again, you, you never saw her working there? Uh, she just told you that?
24 CS: Yes sir.
25

21

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 YM: Okay. Alright. Is there anything else about this whole thing that, that comes to
2 mind, or anything that you kind of ...
3 CS: Uhm ....
4 YM: ...you know wanted to let me know about as far as Casey?
5 CS: I'm trying to think of anything. Uhm, I really can't think of anything. I mean...
6 YM: Okay,
7 CS: Uhm, the day before Mother's Day, which was I think Cinco De Mayo, I saw her
8 on Cinco De Mayo. She came over. I was out with a bunch of my friends and
9 then she was sitting and talking with my parents for a couple hours. I came
10 home and we decided to go out.
11 YM: Uh-hum (affirmative).
12 CS: But thafs the only thing I can think of.
13 YM: Has she ever borrowed your, or borrowed any family member's cars to do any
14 errands?
15 CS: Huh-huh (negative). Never borrowed any of our cars.
16 YM: Okay. And we're pretty, and we're pretty confident that the last couple times you
17 saw her were July 7th at Buffalo Wild Wings where you saw her with other
18 people?
19 CS: Right.
20 YM: Uh, June 17th when she came to you house, 17th, 18th or 19th when she came to
21 you hous...
22 CS: Right. It was...
23 YM: ...and then...
24 CS: ...in that area, yeah (affirmative).
25 YM: Okay.

22

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 CS: That was like as much as I could remember.
2 YM: so before June, between June 17 and July 7th you're pretty confident you didn't
3 see her...
4 CS: Yeah (affirmative).
5 YM: ..in person?
6 CS: I'm almost a hundred percent.
7 YM: What about from May 17th to June 17th, how confident are you that you hadn't,
8 you didn't see her?
9 CS: (Sighs.) Well I told you I saw her at the bar briefly. Like just a brief encounter
10 and that was it.
11 YM: Which bar?
12 CS: I want to say Scoops. It's off of 50 and Alafaya.
13 YM: And who was she with? Do you remember?
14 CS: No. She wasn't with anybody when I saw her. But we kind of went our separate
15 ways.
16 YM: Do you remember uh, approximately when this was?
17 CS: (Sighs.)
18 YM: If you don't know a date that's fine, but just kind of a, a ballpark.
19 CS: It was probably like the beginning of June maybe.
20 YM: At Scoops?
21 CS: Or no, it's probably closer to June 17th then, like so mid-June because uhm, she
22 decided to come over a few days later, later, later on, and just stop to say hey.
23 YM: Okay. so some, a couple days before that June 17, 18th, 19th you..
24 CS: Yeah (affirmative), I saw...
25 YM: ..ran into at Scoops?

23

Stutz, Christopher/Case #08-069208/GG


1 CS: ...I...
2 YM: And you didn't see her with anyone or?
3 CS: No. She was with nobody and then uh, she decided to walk away and, because
4 there's two parts of Scoops.
5 YM: Uh-hum (affirmative).
6 CS: I don't know if, I mean but uh, uhm, there's a bar area then ....
7 YM: Right.
8 CS: ...a dance floor area. So once it gets crowded you don't really see anybody
9 again. And I was with my friends.
10 YM: So did, did she, when you guys got to Scoops, you and your friends, did she just
11 come up to you and start talking or (inaudible).
12 CS: Yeah (affirmative). She's like, "Hey, Chris." And I went, "Well hey, what's going
13 on?" And then we talked for probably five minutes. She was like, "Okay, I got to
14 go." "Gh,. okay."
15 YM: Alright. Uhm ....
16 CS: And that's about it though.
17 YM: Well, you, you've got my number so if you remember anything yeah (affirmative),
18 by all means shoot me a call. Believe it or not, you know, even the smallest
19 things are, are important to us...
20 CS: Yeah (affirmative), okay.
21 YM: ...because we're trying to, you know, piece together a very, big puzzle.
22 CS: Yeah (affirmative).
23 YM: So you have, you have open contact. Call me. And I apologize if I don't answer
