ORLANDO (Reuters) - On the day her 2-year-old daughter died in June 2008, Casey Anthony moved in with her boyfriend and gave no indication that anything was wrong, the now-former boyfriend testified on Wednesday.

Tony Lazzaro, 24, said they went to a video store that evening, where a surveillance camera caught them browsing with their arms wrapped around each other. The next day, Lazzaro skipped school and said he and Casey "stayed in my bedroom."

Prosecutor Frank George asked Lazzaro how Casey seemed.

"The way she was every day," Lazzaro said.

During the second day of testimony in Casey Anthony's first-degree murder trial in Orlando, her ex-boyfriend and his former roommates offered jurors a fuller picture of the 25-year-old Florida mother's actions after daughter Caylee Marie Anthony's death.

"She seemed normal. Happy. Like everything was fine," said roommate Nathan Lezniewicz, who recalled how Casey partied and entered a "hot body" contest at a local nightclub.

Attorneys on both sides of the case agree that Caylee died on June 16, 2008. But a month passed before her grandmother, Cindy Anthony, called 911 and reported the toddler missing.

Caylee's body was found December 11, 2008, in a wooded area a 15-minute walk from the Anthony home.

Prosecutors contend that Casey Anthony suffocated her daughter by wrapping duct tape around her nose and mouth and then dumped the child's body in the woods, freeing the mother to live a more carefree life.

Defense attorney Jose Baez told jurors during opening statements that the toddler drowned in the Anthony family's backyard pool and no one alerted police about the accident.

Neither side has provided any detailed account of how and when Caylee's body wound up in the woods.

A neighbor, Brian Burner, testified on Wednesday that Casey borrowed his shovel two days after Caylee's death, saying she wanted to "dig up a bamboo root."

WITNESSES: NO ODOR IN TRUNK

The case has gained national attention and drawn TV personalities including Nancy Grace and Geraldo Rivera to the courtroom.

Lazzaro, the ex-boyfriend, cooperated with investigators after Caylee's grandmother reported the girl missing and told authorities that Casey's car trunk smelled like a dead body.

But Lazzaro was one of two witnesses who testified they never smelled a stench coming from Casey's car.

Lazzaro said he helped Casey on June 23 when her car ran out of gas and was with her when she opened the trunk to store two gas cans inside.

Maria Kissh, the girlfriend of one of Lazzaro's roommates, recalled the two couples riding in Casey's car to get dinner.

"No one commented on an odor," Kissh said.

Casey began living at the apartment nearly full-time after Caylee's death, the roommates testified.

"When she started staying at the apartment on a regular basis, that's when we stopped seeing Caylee," roommate Roy "Clint" House said.

When they asked Casey about Caylee's whereabouts, she told them her daughter was with the nanny.

"Shot girls" at the nightclub -- young women who make money buying bottles of premium alcohol from the club and selling it by the shot glass to patrons -- testified that Casey mothered them, offering clothing and sales advice.

"She made it like she's taking care of us and she has a daughter," Erica Gonzales said.

Jamie Realander, another shot girl, recalled a conversation she had with Casey on July 15, 2008, the day Cindy Anthony told police that she hadn't seen her granddaughter in a month.

During the conversation, Casey mentioned she had a child.

She said "her birthday was the next month and I was invited to the party," Realander testified.

The defense was unable to get into evidence a pre-trial statement by Lazzaro about a secret Casey once shared with him. Baez indicated the secret concerned Casey's father abusing her, but the judge cut him off and ruled the statement was hearsay.

Baez has attributed Casey's wild partying, shopping sprees and other inappropriate behavior after Caylee's death to what he claimed was sexual molestation by George Anthony starting when Casey was 8.

George Anthony denied that accusation from the witness stand on Tuesday.
