Derkovic
told WFTV detectives only got part of the story. She told WFTV brand
new information during an exclusive interview Friday morning.Derkovic
turned herself in and got 30 years instead of the death penalty for
murdering another teenager four years ago. Derkovic and others at the
jail thought she would have the best chance of convincing Casey to come
clean.Derkovic talked with Kathi Belich at the Lowell
Correctional Institution in Ocala for an hour and a half and she
answered questions about her communication with accused killer Casey
Anthony.“She said she used to knock the baby out so she could go
party and she would put her to sleep. When she'd come back, the baby
would
still be asleep,” Derkovic said.She told investigators she didn't know
how Casey knocked out Caylee, but Belich asked her.“Did she say what
she used to knock her out?” she asked.“I can't pronounce it.
Chlorofoam?” Derkovic said.She said she doesn't know where Casey got
it, but knows how she used it.“She
would pour it on, like, a rag, a washrag, and put it over the baby's
face
so she'd inhale it and that would knock her out,” Derkovic said.Belich
asked Derkovic why she hadn't mentioned chloroform to investigators.“I
just want to be clear. Do you remember telling them that?” Belich
asked.“Probably not. Because, like I said, I can barely pronounce the
name. I know it's drugs,” she said.Derkovic
described Casey's resentment about the attention her mother shifted to
Caylee,
once she was born, as being like sibling rivalry.“She would say,
‘What's so special about Caylee? Why didn't she care about me like
that?’ Stuff like that,” Derkovic said.Derkovic said Casey was jealous
of the relationship between Cindy and Caylee.“When
Caylee was born, Caylee was the center of attention, ‘cause she was the
baby. It's kind of like siblings. When the new one comes along, the
older ones feel left out,” Derkovic said.Derkovic said Casey was happy-go-lucky in jail and always smiling.“Did
she ever say she was upset in the jail and she couldn't look for Caylee
or nobody was doing enough to find Caylee?” Belich asked. “Or anything
like that?”“No, Derkovic said.Derkovic said she turned
herself in because it was the right thing to do and tried to get Casey
to
open up about what happened to Caylee.“Nothing I ever said to her
really registered,” Derkovic said.“But when you would do that, she
didn't say, ‘I didn't do it’?” Belich asked.“No,
she didn't say that either. She wouldn't say, like, ‘It's not me. It's
somebody else. I need to get out of here and find them.’ She never said
that. Not once,” Derkovic said.Derkovic said she called
investigators around Thanksgiving last year, because “it was the right
thing to do” concerning the murder of a child. She insists she has no
intention of asking for time off her 30-year sentence.
