ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – June 16 is the date Caylee Anthony likely died. Eyewitness News retraced Casey Anthony’s steps on that fateful day and talked to the man who saw Casey just hours after Caylee’s death.

“No emotion, no tears and no regrets,” is how Casey was described on that day of death, when she rented a movie about a kidnapper and killer just hours after, detectives believe, she murdered her daughter.

Never before seen surveillance photos show accused killer Casey Anthony and her boyfriend walking into an east Orange County Blockbuster just before 8:00pm on Monday June 16, just hours after her daughter Caylee was last seen alive by Casey’s father at home.

The new photos show Casey without Caylee, arm in arm with her boyfriend, after they chose two movies to rent. One rented was “Untraceable,” about a kidnapper and killer. The other was “Jumper,” about a mother who abandons her 5-year-old child, who then can teleport himself.

“They came in, went out,” Johnny French told Eyewitness News. “Brought the movies back on time just like everybody else.”

French rented the movies to Casey and her boyfriend that night. He said there was nothing about the couple that stood out as unusual.

“They seemed normal and she seemed fine. If there was something wrong it would have stood out. I just don’t remember them doing anything unusual,” French said.

Casey’s phone records show she made seven phone calls in the three and half hours between 2:45pm and 6:15pm that afternoon, the time during which investigators think Caylee may have died. Two were made to Arden Villas Apartments off University and Alafaya, apparently to friends. Casey’s ex-best friend, Amy Huizenga, told investigators Casey called her that day and said she needed to find a place to live.

Caylee’s grandfather told investigators the last time he saw Caylee was at 12:50pm on June 16. He remembered her sunglasses and her ponytail as she left with Casey, who claimed they were spending that night at the nanny’s.

“That’s the last time I saw my granddaughter,” George Anthony told investigators.

Investigators say Casey stayed on the east side of town, as usual, during the six hours or so between when Caylee was last seen alive and she showed up her with her boyfriend, but her exact whereabouts are unclear.
