Does babysitting. So 19 uhm, uh, we were talking about how much she made. And I thought that it was a 20 low amount for uhm, being a babysitter. And I suggested that we should uhm, 21 ask Casey because she has a nanny. And so we were out, uh, we were 22 watching the uhm, national championship, the college basketball national 23 championship over uhm, Ricardo's house and my sister and her husband were 24 there. And I asked Casey how much she paid her nanny and she never uh, gave 25 3 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 me a concrete answer. She just told me that, "I pay her a lot. Don't worry, she's 2 fine." 3 EE: Did she ever refer to her by name, the nanny? 4 TB: She, not to me, no. 5 EE: No? Did you ever see her field a phone call from that nanny? 6 TB: Uhm, no. She, uh, I don't remember her ever saying hold on, I have to talk to my 7 nanny. 8 EE: Or I'm going to call my nanny? 9 TB: Exactly, no. 10 EE: Okay. Did you ever visit the nanny's house and watch her drop the baby off 11 there? 12 TB: No. 13 EE: Or pick the baby up? 14 TB: No. 15 EE: We'll get to Melissa here in a little while. That's all I have noted. I'm going to go 16 to the calendar book. Starting, we, we started, you guys started your uh, 17 recollection off of May 14th where uhm, Ricardo, Casey and Troy all went 18 to Voyage together? 19 TB: Correct. 20 EE: And she ended up getting a flat tire, or two flat tires? 21 TB: Yes. 22 EE: And you guys went back to help her? 23 TB: Yes.

Uhm, then she left. And she uhm, she called us ten minutes later, 9 asking us to come and, and help her because she got two flat tires. So me and 10 Ricardo went there and ... 11 EE: She was driving the white Pontiac? 12 TB: Correct. 13 EE: Okay. 14 DR: Well we didn't ask him about how it got smashed.

I mean uh, all the car problems just kind of like pushed together with 6 me. I never really even thought much of it. Uhm, I always thought that, she had 7 the flat tires and I assumed that that was just flat tires and that was fine. They'd 8 throw two tires on it and it was fine. 9 EE: When was it she told you she was going out shopping for a car? 10 TB: Uhm ... 11 EE: Yeah (affirmative), I know what you're talking about now. 12 TB: That was, let's see uhm, that was the day before I went to Puerto Rico, or the 13 day of because it was a li .. .it was a ... 14 DR: It was July 7th or 8th. 15 TB: No, because I didn't go with them on the day ... 16 EE: .

And, 12 and so she actually attempted to drive home on the two flat tires. And then 13 sparks flew and everything was flying. So she pulled off maybe a half 14 mile to a mile down the road. 15 DR: Okay. 16 TB: And then we uh, then me, and she parked it a residential neighborhood. I'm not 17 sure which one it was.

Was Ricardo there? 24 TB: Ricardo was there. 25 EE: Okay. 9 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 TB: And uhm, there was a, I remember people telling me this that there was an issue 2 between uhm, Ricardo and Casey because she had brought Tony.

It was the conversation. So 19 I'm not sure if that was the conversation about Fusion, and then there was other 20 conversations before that, but.

No real contact we're aware of from the 25th through the 30th? 12 TB: No. 13 EE: But she comes back into the picture starting the first uhm, after she drops off Tony, 14 I guess the new, or the new boyfriend, at the airport? 15 TB: Correct. I .... 16 EE: You have company come into town though around the 2nd? 17 TB: Yes. I uhm, I had a friend, a friend from uhm, back home, and uh, name Melissa 18 England.

She asked, she told her that need to get a, "We, we should go get tattoos." 15 And Melissa says, "You're crazy. I'm not getting another tattoo." 16 EE: Thought that was odd? 17 TB: Yes. And then uhm, and then the next day she shows up with one. 18 EE: Well the 3rd you say that you ended up having to go to work and Melissa and 19 Casey ended up spending like five hours together? 20 TB: Correct. 21 EE: But the child was never mentioned? 22 TB: Correct. 23 EE: And this was odd to Melissa because she was in a prior relationship with a man 24 that had a baby and so she was almost looking forward to that... 25 TB: Correct. She wanted to have .... 13 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 EE: ... conversation? 2 TB: ... a conversation with her about it. 3 EE: Because, because she understood the other side of that story? 4 TB: Correct. 5 EE: Okay.

(identify) that actually went with Casey when 7 she got that tattoo you believe? 8 TB: Correct. 9 EE: But we don't know who that person is yet? 10 TB: I, I can probably, I can probably get his name fairly easily I'm thinking. I probably 11 uhm, I'm trying to remember. Uh, I, uh, I, I'm, I'm can, I'm pretty sure I can get 12 the name. Uhm, but yeah (affirmative), I can't recall it right now. I know it but 13 It's just, it's a ba .. .it's a common name. I just can't remember what it is right now. 14 EE: Okay. That night y'all went to The Lodge down off of Orange Avenue? 15 TB: Correct. 16 EE: And who all was there? 17 TB: Uhm, that was of the significant people ... 18 EE: Uh-hum (affirmative). 19 TB: ... it was just me, Casey and Melissa. 20 EE: No Amy? 21 TB: Amy was not there. No, she was not. 22 EE: Okay. You say that she got upset, Casey got upset because her brother called 23 her? 24 TB: Correct. Her brother. .. 25 EE: And she wanted .... 14 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 TB: ...was calling her. 2 EE: She wanted to leave? 3 TB: Uhm, we, I don't, I, I didn't know what the content of the calls were. But she was 4 visibly upset and said that her brother was coming to get her and she just wanted 5 to get out of here. And then we uhm, we left after that. 6 EE: Okay. You were out of town the 4th and the 5th. You go visit some. 7 TB: We went to Sarasota for the 4th of July .... 8 EE: Okay. 9 TB: ... to visit some of Melissa's friends. 10 EE: Melissa. You guys go bowling on Sunday the 6th. You get a text message from 11 Casey. You think she's coming over there to where you are? 12 TB: Correct. 13 EE: But she never shows? 14 TB: No. 15 EE: You have a phone conversation on either the 10th or the 11th you believe? 16 TB: Uh, yes. Uhm ... 17 EE: Uh, that.... 18 TB: ... regarding the trip to Puerto Rico, to see if she was still coming because uhm, 19 she would, she never told us for sure if she wasn't going. She would always 20 continue to put it off. So, uhm, I continued to ask until the day I left if she was 21 coming or not. So that's what those ... 22 EE: And during that conversation she made reference about her car? 23 TB: Correct. Uhm, she made reference to one of the uh, she made reference to 24 several reasons why she couldn't go. Uhm, two of which were the fact that she 25 15 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 needed, she was trying to find a place to live. And she was uhm, searching for a 2 new car. 3 EE: Did she say what was wrong with her car? 4 TB: She did not. 5 EE: And the next time you remember even seeing Casey was at the airport when 6 they picked, when she picked uh, Amy up on the 15th. And then Amy ... 7 TB: Came back and got, yeah (affirmative). 8 EE: ... came back and got y'all. Okay. And then starting the 15th and the 16th is 9 where all the uh, police involvement? 10 TB: Yes. 11 EE: Never at any time did she tell you that someone took her child and refused to 12 return it? 13 TB: No. 14 EE: That you can recall? 15 TB: No. 16 EE: Alright. 17 DR: You ever find her upset? By herself thinking, you know? 18 EE: Crying? Other than the night with, dealing with Brandon? ****** NOTE: Line 19 below shows "DR" but response seems it should be "TB" (JMO) ****** 19 DR: Uhm, no. Never, I mean never alone. I, I, she was, she was upset at certain 20 points, but it was led to believe that it was because of all the family issues that 21 was going on. But she was, she, I mean she was upset at certain points 22 throughout I guess whenever I would see her throughout the month of June until 23 July. 24 EE: Now July, that week of July where she stayed there with Amy and you guys went 25 out quite a bit, did she seem jovial or was that where she was up .... 16 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 TB: She, actually it was weird. It was kind of like a, almost like a roller coaster 2 because it seemed like she was very carefree. More carefree than what she 3 normally was. And but then there was the issues with, because then Melissa 4 tells me that she's arguing with her mom on the phone. And then on the 3rd, or 5 and then later that night she has problems with her brother. And I can see that 6 she's visibly upset. But she, she's putting on this persona of she's very care, 7 like .... 8 EE: But it was only when her ... 9 TB: She .... 10 EE: .. .family was trying to intervene? 11 TB: Correct, yeah (affirmative). 12 EE: Okay. 13 TB: So it was, it, it was, she was, it was, it was that issue. It was two extremes. 14 It was either ... 15 EE: Uh-hum (affirmative). 16 TB: ... she was very carefree and I guess loving life, and then there was the 17 interaction with her family, and that's when she would, you know, be visibly 18 upset. 19 EE: Okay. And nobody ever heard the conversation between them? 20 TB: I had never, the uhm, Melissa heard the, the, the uh .... 21 DR: The answers? 22 TB: The answers .... 23 DR: Uh-hum (affirmative). 24 TB: ... coming from Casey. 25 DR: Uh-hum (affirmative). 17 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG 1 TB: So uhm, she would probably be able to, to touch on that more than I can. 2 DR: Okay. 3 EE: Raise your right hand for me? You swear and affirm that everything you said 4 today is true? 5 DR: Yes. 6 EE: Freely given? 7 DR: Yes. 8 EE: Excellent. 11 :53 a.m., conclusion of interview. 9 End of recorded statement. 10 This transcript has been reviewed for accuracy. 11 12 13 CORPORAL WILLIAM EDWARDS, OCSO DEPUTY SHERIFF 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 18 Brown, Troy/Case #O8-069208/GG
