Hundreds of “pings” from the cell phone of missing Caylee Anthony’s mother have apparently led to site searches for the child and helped investigators track Casey Anthony’s movements.
Local 6 tracked the 754 times Anthony’s cell phone communicated with a cell tower — called pings — and mapped 20 different towers the calls reached.
The pings came during a period from June 16 — the day Caylee Anthony was last seen alive — to June 30 — the day Casey Anthony’s car was towed from an Amscot with signs of human decomposition was found in the trunk.
Records indicated that 97 percent of the cell phone pings came at or around her boyfriend’s apartment near Winter Park, her parents’ home located off Chickasaw Trail and the Fusian nightclub and a friend’s house in Orlando.
However, it is some of the other 3 percent of pings that have raised some questions, Local 6 reported.
On June 17, the day after George Anthony said he last saw his granddaughter alive, Casey Anthony apparently returned to the family home at about 2:30 p.m.
Then, around 4 p.m., the phone pinged a cell tower southwest of the family home at Lee Vista Boulevard and South Goldenrod, Local 6 reported. The location was near where detectives directed EquuSearch volunteers to look for signs of Caylee several weeks ago.
At 5:20 p.m., Anthony’s cell pinged a tower near Blanchard Park at state Road 50 and Goldenrod, Local 6 reported. That site was also searched in August by EquuSearch.
Records showed that Casey Anthony’s cell phone went silent during a time between 5:23 and 8:23 on June 17 — no text messages, no calls in and no calls out.Anthony then turned up near her boyfriend’s apartment, records showed.
On June 18, a neighbor of Casey Anthony’s parents said they noticed the woman borrowed a shovel and backed her car into her parents’ home garage. Cell pings showed that Casey Anthony was at or near her parents’ home between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.
And after 28 minutes of cell phone silence, Casey Anthony’s phone pinged an unusual spot — along the Econ Trail located south of Lake Underhill, Local 6 reported.It was again an area detectives in which were interested and and asked EquuSearch volunteers to search, Local 6 reported.Investigators first subpoenaed Casey Anthony’s cell phone records the day after she was arrested in July and have been analyzing them ever since.
