All the calls were made on the same day. Here's another 911 call - which was actually the first one made to the Orlando Police Dept., which needed to be transferred to the Orange County Sheriff. In the transcripts previously posted the second call was to the Orange County Sheriff's Dept. and third was also to the Orange County Sheriff when the Sheriff's deputy hadn't shown up as fast as the grandmother expected after the first call:
In a 911 call released by the Orlando Police Department on Friday, Casey Anthony's mother tells her daughter that she's taking her to police. The latest call is actually the first of three now released in the case of a missing 2-year-old.
"No, I'm not giving you another day, I've given you a month," Cythina Anthony can be heard, presumably talking to Casey Anthony, as the 911 dispatcher works to transfer the call to the sheriff's office.
The recording was made on the evening of July 15 at an Orlando police station while the call was being transferred to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. During the call, Cynthia Anthony asks the dispatcher where she can take her daughter to turn her in for stealing a car and money.
"I have a 22-year-old person that has grand theft sitting in my auto with me," Cynthia Anthony tells the dispatcher.
"Is this a relative?" the dispatcher asks.
"Yes," she says. "I want to bring her in."
The web of misinformation and contradictory statements in the case of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony has centered on the child's grandmother after the release of the 911 calls. Investigators have now released a total of three calls. The call released Friday is actually the first of the three.
The two calls released Thursday were made to the Orange County Sheriff's Office by Cynthia Anthony. Those calls were made after the initial call to the Orlando Police Department. Cynthia sounds rather calm in the first call to the police department, but sounds frantic in the following two calls.
"I have someone here that needs to be arrested in my home and I have a possibly missing child. I have a 3-year-old that's been missing for a month," a crying Cynthia Anthony tells the dispatcher in the first of two calls to the sheriff's office.
"Have you reported that?" the dispatcher asks Cynthia.
"I'm trying to do that now, ma'am," Cynthia replies.
"What did the person do that you need arrested?" the dispatcher asks.
"My daughter," Cynthia replies. "For stealing an auto and stealing some money."
That call ends, but Cynthia Anthony calls back.
"I found out my granddaughter has been taken, she has been missing. My daughter finally admitted that she's been missing. ... My daughter finally admitted that the babysitter stole her. I need to find her."
"There's something wrong," Cynthia continues to tell the dispatcher. "I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."
The latter comments contradict what she told Eyewitness News after Casey Anthony's bond hearing on Tuesday.
"There was a bag of pizza for 12 days in a car full of maggots," Casey's mother Cynthia Anthony told reporters.
But after the calls were released early Thursday evening, Cynthia Anthony insisted to WFTV that she did not contradict herself.
"It smelled like something had died in the car. I smelled it. I thought something had died in the car. I didn't know what it was. It could have been a squirrel. It could have been anything. But when we opened the trunk and we saw the maggots in the trunk with all the pizza and stuff, it was a rancid smell," she said.
Casey Anthony, the mother of the missing girl, also spoke on one of the 911 calls to the sheriff's office and sounded much more calm than her mother.
"My daughter has been missing for the last 31 days. I know who has her. I tried to contact her. I did get to speak to my daughter for about a minute," Casey Anthony tells the dispatcher.
Investigators continue to follow leads in the search for missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. Meanwhile, the toddler's mother, Casey Anthony, remains in jail on a $500,000 bond. Her lawyer has filed an appeal to lower what he says is an unfairly high bond amount.

On local TV people are generously giving to the effort to find Caylee - and now the parents are saying that they have almost enough to bond the daughter out of jail
And the grandfather now talks because he's bothered by the way their family is being portrayed
For the first time Friday, the public is hearing in full detail from the grandfather of Caylee Anthony. So far, George Anthony has mostly stayed in the background of the investigation into the missing 2-year-old.
George Anthony has a different style and is a bit more reserved than his wife, but he was bothered by the way she came across in the 911 tapes released Thursday night. He says his primary focus is still on finding Caylee. Friday morning, he handed out new Caylee t-shirts to reporters and started passing out fliers to local businesses.
"We got so many pieces that are coming and it's like setting down and putting everything together. It's time consuming. It's nerve-wracking," he said.
George Anthony says the tips are still pouring in, but the tension, too, is mounting more than a week after news of his granddaughter's disappearance broke. He said hearing his wife's 911 calls made him cringe and watching how she's being portrayed made him angry.
"Don't paint a bad picture of this family, or especially of my wife. That's not fair to her," he said.
In his widest ranging interview so far, Anthony said he was troubled by what he perceived to be an unfairly hostile bond hearing for his daughter earlier this week.
"It got into something totally, totally crazy. And now everything is spinning. It's a snowball effect now," he said.
Some have criticized Anthony's wife Cynthia for speaking too freely about tips and criticisms of the investigation when she should be focused on getting her daughter Casey to speak. George said Friday, if that's the case, it's not done with any bad motivations.
"Sometimes you say things. Your brain is thinking this and your mouth has already said it. You know that, I know that. Your emotions just take over sometimes," he said.
Eyewitness News reporter George Spencer asked George Anthony if he still bought his daughter's story, the idea that Casey had dropped Caylee off with a babysitter and never saw her again. Like his wife, he said he thinks Casey probably knows something she hasn't yet said.
Ultimately, George Anthony said, the more people talk about Casey the less they're focused on finding Caylee.
JMO, but I think the grandmother had it right on the first night, something bad had happened - but now she is sticking up for the daughter, no matter what really happened to Caylee. She is throwing out bad info right and left, and tries to explain everything away. She was on the news and they asked her why Casey (the daughter) sounded so calm on the phone - and if you listen to the tapes she is almost nonchalant about it - but grandmother says oh no, she was laying on the floor sobbing during the call, etc.
She must think people are dumb.
This girl might end up getting away with this if someone doesn't break soon.
