NANCY GRACE, HOST: Tonight, shocking 911 calls caught on tape. They are made in the heat of the moment. A crime just takes place, a child discovered missing.

Tonight, chilling 911 calls from all across the country.

GRACE: Twenty-nine days, that`s how long it took tot mom, Casey Anthony, to report her baby, little Caylee Anthony, missing. Finally, tot mom forced to speak to police after her own mother, Cindy Anthony, makes three 911 calls. We have the 911 calls. Take a listen as Caylee`s own grandmother even admits Casey Anthony`s car smells like there`s a, quote, "dead body" in it.
Despite efforts by the defense to have these calls, these 911 calls excluded from trial, a Florida judge recently rules the calls you`re about to hear will be heard by a jury of 12. Take a listen.

(END VIDEOTAPE)
GRACE: Yes, to you, Mike Brooks, formerly with the FBI. Repeatedly Casey`s mother, the grandmother, keeps telling me that there was nothing wrong, that she was in touch with her daughter throughout those five months, that she was just out bonding with her daughter.
But that 911 call reveals a completely different story. The grandmother has been going on and on and on saying there was an old pizza in the car, and that`s what the dogs hit on, cadaver dogs, trained to hit on nothing but human remains.
And here we have her saying that day, it was the 14th, July 14th, she`s telling police, my car smells like there`s been a dead body in the car.
MIKE BROOKS, HLN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Tell you what, Nancy, she has given a number of stories to both you, to headline prime news, to all different people. It doesn`t add up. Her daughter`s not being truthful.
You know, the other day, when I was on prime news, she was talking about another person that knows where she is. You know, she has make up so many stories. And Nancy also, you know, with the whole airport thing to shoot that down, you can also look on a manifest to find out if there`s an adult and a child, and also here in Atlanta they have almost 400 cameras in the Hartsfield International airport.
You know, and the whole thing with her mother, Casey on this 911 call. She contradicts herself, Nancy. She said, quote, "I actually received a phone call today from a number that`s no longer in service. I did get to speak with my daughter for about a moment, but for minute."
OK. She got a call today, but now the number`s no longer in service? That doesn`t make sense to me, Nancy.
GRACE: No. It makes no sense whatsoever. And Mike Brooks, having been a cop for as long as you have been, the very first thing police would do is try to track down that number that the number Casey said she received a call from and actually spoke to her little girl. They can determine, was it a cell phone, was it a land line, they can get the location immediately. For Pete`s sake, you can get that off Yahoo! For Pete`s sake.
And now, we are hearing she has no idea where the woman has gone. Took police to the wrong location where the woman allegedly lived. And they have actually found, police found Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. And she says, I have never met her in my life.
BROOKS: Exactly. She has been - she has not told one thing that hasn`t been a lie to police. And you know her mother, if her mother has information, too, Nancy, she can also be charged with obstruction of justice, if she has some information.
You know, this whole thing about the pizza, I don`t care if you`ve got pizza with sausage, pepperoni and limburger cheese on it, it`s not going to smell like decomposing flesh. I know that smell, and it`s a smell you never forget.
