According to her brother Lee, the party mom was "combative" when asked why she would not show them tiny Caylee to prove she was safe on July 15, 2008.
Even her own defense team have conceded that the little girl was long dead by then. But at the time Anthony, now 25, who faces the death penalty if convicted, claimed that she had received a telephone call from the little girl, the court in
Orlando, Florida heard.
Between the dates June 16 to July 15 Anthony told her mother Cindy during numerous telephone conversations that Caylee was either staying with a nanny, was with friends, or was away with her on a business trip.
After her mother called the police she changed her story however and told her brother as they waited for officers to arrive at the family home that Caylee was actually missing.He told the packed Florida, courtroom: "In my mind there was no excuse why nobody could go and get Caylee. At one point she was actually receptive to it but for the most part it was: 'I don’t want to disturb her.'
"Nothing was making sense to me. Why couldn’t we have anybody just go get Caylee and bring her home?"
He claimed that when he asked his sister again "Why can’t we see Caylee?" she said: "Because maybe I’m a spiteful bitch."
Reminding her the police were on their way, she changed her story saying: "She had been kidnapped and that the nanny took her."
Caylee’s decomposed remains were later found in a swamp in December 2008, close to the house where she lived with her mother and grandparents.
Prosecutors maintain she was killed by her mother, who suffocated her by putting duct tape over her mouth, while Anthony's lawyers maintain her father buried the child after she accidentally drowned in their pool.
Anthony has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Her trial continues.
