The call was recorded hours after Casey Anthony, 22, was taken into custody last week in connection with the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee.

During the conversation, Casey Anthony told her mother that she doesn't know where her daughter is.

"Mom," Casey Anthony said. "I just saw your nice little cameo on TV."

"Which one?" Cindy Anthony said.

"What do you mean, which one?" Casey Anthony said.

"Which one?" Cindy Anthony said. "I did four different ones, and I haven't seen them all. I've only seen one or two so far."

"You don't know what my involvement is in (inaudible)?" Casey Anthony asked.

"Casey," Cindy Anthony said.

"Mom," Casey Anthony said.

"No, I don't know what you involvement is, sweetheart," Cindy Anthony said. "You are not telling me where she's at."

"Because I don't (expletive) know where she's at," Casey Anthony said. "You are kidding me."

"Casey, don't waste your call screaming and hollering at me," Cindy Anthony said.

Cindy Anthony then told Casey that she should blame herself for being in jail.

"Whose fault is it you're sitting in jail?" Cindy Anthony said. "Are you blaming me you are sitting in the jail? Blame yourself for telling lies. What do you mean it is not your fault? What do you mean it's not your fault, sweetheart? If you would have told them the truth and not lied about everything..."

"Do me a favor and just tell me what Tony's number is," Casey Anthony said. "I don't want to talk to you. Forget it."

Then her brother gets on the phone.

"I'm not going around and around with you," Lee Anthony said. "You know, that is pretty pointless. I'm not going to put everyone else through the same stuff that you've been putting the police and everybody else for the last 24 hours and the stuff you've been putting mom through for the last four or five weeks. I'm done with that. So, you can tell me what's going on. Kristina would love to talk to you because she thinks you will tell her what's going on. Frankly, we are going to find out, whatever is going on is going to be found out. So, why not do it now?"

"There is nothing to find out," Casey Anthony said. "There is absolutely nothing to find out. Not even what I told the detectives. I have no clue where Caylee is. If I knew where Caylee was, do you think that any of this would be happening? No."

During the call, Casey wanted a phone number for her boyfriend but before she gets it, her friend Kristina got on the line.

"How come everyone is saying that you are not upset and that you are not crying and you show no carrying of where Caylee is at all" Kristina asked.

"Because I'm not her (expletive) crying every two seconds because I have to stay composed to talk to detectives, to make other phone calls and do other things," Casey Anthony said. "I can't sit here and be crying every two seconds like I want to -- I can't."

"OK, Casey, don't yell at me, I'm on your side," Kristina said.

"Nobody is saying anything bad about you," Kristina said. "Your family is with you 100 percent."

"No they're not," Casey Anthony said. "That is (expletive) because I just watched the (expletive) news and heard everything that my mom said. Nobody in my own family is on my side."

"Yes they are," Kristina said.

"They just want Caylee back. That is all they are worried about right now is getting Caylee back," Casey Anthony said. "And you know what, that is all I care about right now."

"But you are telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" Kristina asked.

"That I have no clue where my daughter is?" Casey Anthony said. "Yes, that is the truth. That is the absolute truth."

Third 911 Call Released

Also Friday, a third 911 call was released featuring both Cindy and Casey talking during a call to police while waiting to be transferred to an Orange County Sheriff's operator.

"My next thing will be to file a child thing and we will get her," Cindy Anthony is heard saying while waiting for her call to be transferred. "If that is the way you want to play, we'll do it."

Casey then said, "That's not the way I want to play."

"Well then you have…" Cindy Anthony said.

Casey Anthony then says she wants "one more day."

"No, I'm not giving you another day, I've given you a month," Cindy Anthony said.

After the calls were made public, Cindy Anthony defended comments that indicated inconsistencies in her story.

But she said the public should take Friday's new call into consideration, Local 6's Louis Bolden reported.

"I think (the new call) puts perspective why each phone call was more compelling to get them out there," Anthony said Friday.

Caylee's Grandfather Defends Wife

Meanwhile, the girl's grandfather, George Anthony, defended his wife Friday after some inconsistencies were found with stories she told police and the media.

"What is being portrayed about my wife, I don't appreciate," George Anthony said. "As a matter, I hate the way that's been, 'The mother this and the mother that.' I can't control the emotion that my wife was going through when she called. That was a hard call for her to make. But she wanted to know where her granddaughter was."

During one of the calls, Cindy Anthony said her daughter's car smelled like a dead body -- mentioning it three separate times to the 911 dispatcher.

"There is something wrong, I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car," Cindy Anthony said.

However, days later she said the smell from the car was rotting food.

Cindy Anthony also apparently contradicted what she told prosecutors at a hearing this week concerning her daughter's whereabouts during the time Caylee was missing.

"I told you my daughter's been missing for a month," Anthony said in the 911 call. "I just found her today but I can't find my granddaughter. She just admitted to me that she's been trying to find her herself."

However, something different was said during this week's bond hearing.

"From June 16 to July 15, did you have any contact with Casey?" a prosecutor asked at the hearing.

"Everyday," Cindy Anthony said. "We called each other. We left voice messages. She'd text me. There was contact everyday."

George Anthony said the family has continued to cooperate with the investigation.

"We've keep the lines of communication open with these guys," Anthony said. "Maybe we've said a thing or two that might have impeded their investigation a little bit and we are sorry about that. But, you emotion comes into play."

George Anthony said he feels like the family has been pushed into a corner.

"You get pushed into a corner and what is the first thing you want to do?" George Anthony said. "You are going to come out fighting. We are still trying to stay fighting and still trying to stay sensitive."

Anthony's Attorney Appealing Bond

The release of the calls came while Casey Anthony's attorney released a statement saying he is appealing the $500,000 bond.

Earlier, the family was encouraged that Casey Anthony would soon be leaving jail.

"This thing about the bond; we are close," George Anthony said Thursday. "I was just talking to someone before you talked with me; we are close."

A judge set a $500,000 bond for Casey Anthony but changed the release order Wednesday.

She's been ordered to home confinement with an electronic monitoring device but no longer a GPS bracelet.
