Seven DVDs containing videos of the visits that the parents and brother of Casey Anthony made to her in the Orange County Jail were included in the release. The videos show visitations beginning in July, when Casey Anthony was initially arrested on child-neglect charges, and other subsequent visits.

Casey Anthony, 22, told authorities she had left her daughter with a baby sitter in mid-June and the two were gone when she returned from work. She said she spent the next month trying to find her daughter and didn't call authorities because she was scared. Investigators say they have poked several holes in her story.

The following are portions of the conversations Casey Anthony had with her parents during the visits.

"Hi," Casey Anthony said to her parents before laughing.

"I love you," Cindy Anthony said.

"I love you, too. Hi," Casey Anthony said.

"Casey, you don't realize that the whole United States is looking for our Caylee," Cindy Anthony said.

"I know that, mom," Casey Anthony said.

"Look straight up so I can look into your eyes. Thank you. You know I need to do that. It's OK to cry, Casey. It's alright, love. We've all been crying," said Cindy Anthony while her daughter was crying.

"Do you think (alleged baby sitter Zenaida Gonzalez) is acting by herself or does she have help?" Cindy Anthony asked.

"I don't know, mom. I haven't been able to talk to anybody. I don't know," Casey Anthony said. "I'm hoping that if there's people involved, there's as many people that are dumb enough to open their mouths and say something. I want someone outside of the sheriff's department looking into these things. I want Lee to look into stuff, I want you guys to look into stuff, I want Jose (Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney) to look into stuff."

"Does Charlotte (N.C.) sound like a potential place to look?" Cindy Anthony said.

"You can look in Charlotte. I know Zanny's home is in North Carolina," Casey Anthony said.

"And definitely Miami," Cindy Anthony said.

"Definitely Miami and New York," Casey Anthony said.

When George Anthony talks to his daughter, she starts crying.

"Hey gorgeous, how you doing?" George Anthony said.

"I look like hell," Casey Anthony said while laughing.

"Want to know something? You really need to keep your spirit high through all this," George Anthony said.

"I have. I haven't been crying while I've been in here," Casey Anthony said. "I've been trying to read books and do other things to keep my mind off of stuff."

"I'm in front of the (television) cameras all the time," Cindy Anthony said. "What message do you want me to give to Zanny and Caylee?"

"That she needs to return Caylee. I forgive her. My only concern is that Caylee comes back to us and she's smiling and she's happy and she is OK," Casey Anthony said.

"What do you want me to tell Caylee?" Cindy Anthony asked.

"That mommy loves her very much, and that she's the most important thing in this entire world to me and to be brave," said Casey Anthony while wiping tears away. "I truly, truly love that little girl and miss her so much. God, and I miss you guys."

"We miss you, too," Cindy Anthony said.

"I'm protecting our family, yes. Not from anything that I've done," Casey Anthony said.

"Is someone threatening us?" Cindy Anthony asked.

"Mom, just leave it at that, please," Casey Anthony replied. "Because this is recorded, and I don't know who's going to see things, and they're going to misconstrue whatever else, like I said, there's things that I directly need to say each of you."

"Has someone else been in our house?" Cindy Anthony said.

"I don't know, mom. Possibly," Casey Anthony said. "I told you a long time ago that she had a key."

"Everybody knows that you've done nothing to Caylee," Cindy Anthony said.

"Good. I'm just glad that everybody else knows that," Casey Anthony said.

"There's a lot of people out there, though, that don't believe that," Cindy Anthony said.

"Oh, I know that," Casey Anthony said. "I get that daily here."

In a July 25 jail visit with her brother, Lee, Casey Anthony said she did not trust law enforcement officials.

"Do you want to talk to law enforcement?" Lee Anthony said.

"Yes and no," Casey Anthony replied. "I know that I'm their 'person of interest,' so things that I've told them before, they looked at me like I'm feeding them a bunch of (expletive). In a lot of ways I'd rather things come from you guys, my primary family, or my almost (inaudible) primary because Jose has been my one out."

New Pics Of Caylee Released

Meanwhile, new pictures of Caylee were released by her grandparents at a prayer vigil Sunday night.

One of the pictures shows Caylee in a Princess Lea costume, which was a gift from her uncle, Lee Anthony.

George and Cindy Anthony said they will continue holding prayer vigils until their granddaughter is found.

E-mails released last week by authorities as part of the discovery process in the case showed a private exchange between Cindy Anthony and her brother, who said he does not believe Caylee is alive.

"I didn't even know about them until they got aired. I was a little bit shocked, but it is what it is. I can't change it. It's out there. It's a shame that family members sometimes pile on other family members. It's a shame," George Anthony said after the vigil.

George Anthony said the family celebrated Thanksgiving and had a place setting for Caylee at their table, something he said was difficult to deal with emotionally.

He said he will drive around Central Florida on Monday while pulling a mobile billboard featuring Caylee.

'Neck Breaking' Internet Search

Internet searches conducted on the computer seized from the home of Casey Anthony's parents included "how to make chloroform" and "neck breaking," according to documents released on Wednesday.

Forensic tests allegedly show that chloroform was present in Anthony's car, leading to a search of the computer at her parents' home, where Casey and Caylee Anthony lived.

Searches conducted March 17 included "how to make chloroform," "neck breaking," and "shovel," according to the documents. There were also searches for "alcohol," "acetone," "peroxide," "hydrogen peroxide," and "death," the documents said.

It is not known who made the searches, but Cindy Anthony was at work at the time the searches were entered, according to a timesheet, which was among the released documents.

A search of "weapons out of household products" was also listed in the documents.

Also among the documents was a text-message conversation between Casey Anthony and her boyfriend at the time of Caylee's disappearance, Tony Lazzaro. Casey Anthony called herself a liar during the exchange, which occurred July 16 at about 7 a.m., hours before she was first arrested.

"Where is Caylee?" Tony asked.

"I honestly don't know," Casey Anthony said.

"Why wouldn't you tell me, of all people? I was your boyfriend that cares about you and your daughter. (It) doesn't make sense to me. Why would you lie to me?" Lazzaro said.

"I lied to everyone. What was I supposed to say? I trust my daughter to some psycho? How does that look?" said Casey Anthony, referring to the baby sitter she claims she left Caylee with. "I am the dumbest person and the worst mother. I honestly hate myself."

Another page of the documents showed a sheet of paper taken from Casey Anthony's car after it was found abandoned at an Orange County Amscot June 27 showed Casey Anthony's name written repeatedly in different variations with the last name Lazzaro being used with it. Lazzaro said that he told Casey Anthony that if he ever did start a family, he wanted to have sons, not daughters because he had two younger sisters and knew what was involved in raising girls, according to the documents.

Also among the documents was the fact that the University of Central Florida conducted a test on gases found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car and found no signs of human decomposition. A lab in Tennessee allegedly found signs of decomposition believed to be human.

The documents said that neighbors heard a loud fight between Cindy and Casey Anthony some time in mid-June. Casey Anthony's brother, Lee Anthony, told her ex-fiance, Jesse Grund, that Cindy Anthony grabbed Casey Anthony by the neck on June 15 -- the day before Caylee was last seen -- and shook her, the documents said.
