Anthony P.I. Gave Conflicting Statements To Investigators

Wow, they were REALLY tough on him. I got two things out of it. He does not admit to talking to Cindy or going there because of Cindy. We know now she said she had sent someone to search. Also, when he got so upset they had to stop the tape, I think he was going to say it was Baez who had told him not to call LE 1st if he found a body. Maybe that's why the Judge hasn't released Part Two.

Good Afternoon Monkeys....

I think it was Annie's document from the latest doc dump, that I was reading.  And was surprised to read that Annie said Caylee had and would get bad anxiety seperation if KC tried to leave.  I think it implied even if it was just in another room.  Any of you guys cop on to that?  And if so, what do you think.

I think it is common at that age. If KC left her alot, it could have made her anxiety even worse. We know she left Caylee alot with her mom, but being she didn't work and CA did, I would expect that atleast during the daytime, she spent mostly with Caylee. It's most likely at night & on weekends that she left Caylee w/ C&G. I was a little surprised to read that comment though, but I thinks it's possible. I don't remember if it refers to a time frame of when this was happening, but I'd imagine it was fairly recently to before she "went missing", or atleast she was last seen.

Also kids can be fickle. One day she might cry for her mom and the next she might say "see ya."

I am reading this now, and as far as I am concerned he is a LIAR.  He does not tell LE how he was picking things up and cutting bags open.

Interesting b/c KC said in an LE interview that Caylee never gets upset with her leaving. Remember the supposed phone call from Caylee to her the day before she was arrested??

Anthony P.I. Searched Woods 3 Times; Diary Entry Date Debated
Casey Anthony Remains Jailed In Death Of Daughter

POSTED: Thursday, February 19, 2009
UPDATED: 1:31 pm EST February 19, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A private investigator working for the Anthony family visited the woods where Caylee's remains were located three times before the discovery was made and said ABC-TV paid for George and Cindy Anthony to stay at an Orlando hotel, according to a newly released transcript.
Slideshow: New Images Released

A transcript of an interview conducted by Orange County sheriff's investigators with private investigator Dominic Casey, who worked on behalf of George and Cindy Anthony and Casey Anthony, was released Thursday. Casey formerly worked with Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, but later worked for the Anthony family and Casey Anthony -- although not with her defense team.

Casey Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter, Caylee, whose remains were found in a wooded area near the Anthony home in December.

According to the transcript, Casey visited the woods where Caylee's bones were found three times in the month prior to the discovery, including a trip prompted by a psychic.

Investigators asked Casey why he visited the wooded area, and he gave conflicting stories, according to the documents. He said he went once because Casey Anthony's friends mentioned they hung out in the area while they were in high school.

Casey said he was there on Nov. 11 because of a psychic who gave very specific details about where to find Caylee's body, the transcript said. That visit was videotaped by another private investigator, Jim Hoover, who was told by Casey they were there because of a tip, the papers said. Casey was too embarassed to tell Hoover that the tip had been generated by a psychic, the transcript showed.

It's not known how close Casey was to the direct area where Caylee's remains were found, but Casey did not pass the tip onto law enforcement, the papers said.

Casey also admitted to investigators -- as did Brad Conway, the attorney for Geogre and Cindy Anthony, who was present during the interview -- that a producer with ABC-TV was with George and Cindy Anthony the night Caylee's remains were found, the transcript said. Caylee's grandparents returned to Orlando from Los Angeles after appearing on "Larry King Live" on CNN and stayed at the Ritz Carlton, which was paid for by the network, according to the transcript.
Meanwhile, a passage in a diary found in Casey Anthony's bedroom was likely not written in 2008, according to evidence reviewed by Local 6 News.

The diary came to light Wednesday when hundreds of documents and photos were released as part of the discovery process.

Speculation suggests that a diary entry saying "Every Day Is A Brand New Beginning" and Casey Anthony having no regrets and being happy were written shortly after Caylee was last seen alive.

But evidence shows that the number "'03" -- likely a reference to 2003 -- was atop a page of the diary, and several pages thereafter appear to be missing. The next page remaining has a date of June 21 and was written in red ink, the same color ink as the reference to 2003, when Casey Anthony was 17 years old.

Records show that on June 21, 2008, the Saturday after Caylee disappeared, Casey Anthony's cell phone did ping any cell towers near the Anthony home. All pings were from Winter Park, where her then-boyfriend lived. Also, Cindy Anthony told investigators that she was home that day and Casey Anthony was not, saying she was in Tampa.

Phone records show Casey Anthony made or received six phone calls that day but was not near the home, meaning the entry was likely not made there.

The entry may only show the state of mind of a 17-year-old girl during her last summer before her senior year in high school.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

I believe if they can not discredit the forensics (science) they will go with accidental overdose.. Caylee was throwing a tantrum and completely out of control,KC tried to sedate her and accidentally administered a fatal dose. 

Des, I thought chloroform was colorless?? IIRC it said there was white sediment in the bottle as well as a syringe.. That is why I think they will try to claim accidental overdose.. *IF* they have to admit she killed her. That is jmo though and I am not half as smart as you other monkeys.

Sweetie, I'm gonna give ya an answer but also address a few other things in this post because I left earlier today with a continuing migraine & needed to step away for a bit.   Legally there is no such thing as an "accidental overdose" when using a drug or toxic substance on a minor child, that is an aggravated assault upon a minor & if a death occurs in the commission of that act it is murder - why because everyone (inc young teens & adults) knows that any type of drug or toxic substance CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR BE DEATH which is why we have warning labels printed with over the counter or any prescription you get or when looking it up online even (i.e. chloroform) such as these links
http://www.sci-spot.com/chemistry/chloroform.htm
http://blog.4rev.net/2008-10/how-to-make-chloroform-trichloromethane/     There are probably a ton more
As well as there is absolutely NO excusable reason to drug a child outside of illness which would require a normal recommended dose of children's over the counter medication such as for a cold OR if a child is ill requiring a doctor's visit wherein a prescription with instructions for specific administration are given.    There is absolutely NO excuse for a parent to use a drug or substance to quiet a child or put them to bed just so the parent gets relief, reading a book or finding an activity to do until they tire is what a responsible nonselfish parent does - any parent that self-medicates a child in this manner is taking a risk & they are being abusive to that child for ill-advised & negligent reasons based on selfish motives.  No matter how many parents have tried to justify that in their heads it is morally wrong & dangerous, most unfortunately detected to be criminally chargeable after injury or death to a child has occurred.  There are so many other parentally responsible behavior modifications and/or diversion tactics that can be used to calm an upset or misbehaving child so there is no real reason to resort to this practice.   People have to understand that with children even a small dose of a drug or toxic substance depending on weight, age, general health, etc can be the slightest difference from one day to another from a child being passed out for a few hours to death in a heartbeat.    Casey has to face what she did to Caylee whether it was her intent to kill her or not, what she did after the fact is even more heinous because she was & still is more concerned about saving herself.

Moving forward, Casey cannot just simply state in the middle of trial that she drugged Caylee but didnt intend to kill her.   If a plea bargain is offered she would have to admit what she did in order for a plea to be accepted OR she has to put forward a defense which admits her guilt but they would put forward whatever mental or other special circumstance as to why the act was committed  i.e. Andrea Yates, keep in mind Andrea Yates had a long history of mental health issues via medial records, Casey has none with no way to prove it other than hearsay.    She cannot put forward a guilty by reason of insanity because by legal standard she is very well aware of the difference between right & wrong as well as she has proven that she had displayed how she has concealed things she knew she did wrong or were illegal.  Postpartum Depression wont fly because Caylee was just under 3 which most PPD does not last that long treated or not & her habits/behavioral pattern began well before pregnancy & escalated well after pregnancy - her conduct over a period of years is so egregious that it is very doubtful a jury would have mercy on that excuse especially with no history or effort to seek medical attention for same.   If Im correct on this point, the DP is off the table in this case due to time allowed by prosectution to put that forward again & if that is not the case they still would consider not bringing it back because after conviction during penalty phase her family would all beg to spare her life, her age would come into consideration, the State prosecution wont risk a jury not finding guilty of murder one if a jury would be hestitant to vote for the DP.   That monster deserves it but spending her life in cell without the elaborate commissary perks she gets now will be a much more slow painful death for her, maybe that is more fitting for her such she had lived to be the center of attention & knew nothing else but her own desires & concerns that she will not be able to gratify.    Phew sorries that was a long one!

I was locked out of that cage so playing catch up now... I do agree,there is NO reason to drug a child. I have just seen several of the t.v talking heads keep saying it was not intentional, accidental overdose .. no proof otherwise etc etc... so I am thinking it would be a lesser offense ..like 2nd degree or something...instead of the 1st degree... just thinking...

[ShariVari]

that makes no sense. they took hair and buccal swabs from all the anthonys. they have caylees complete dna from jesses paternity test. they always take larger samples than they need in case multiple tests have to be run. they can run any test they want, they have everyones complete dna profiles. its the fbi, they dont screw around.

That is my point exactly.  They have all the evidence they need.  Why they chose this test to perform I do not know, I am not their scientist, but aparently its what they chose to do and the results they have they must be pretty certain of otherwise they would have tested again and again and again!

Its not like the just have a tip piece of hair from Caylee and a skin cell from Lee.  They have the mother load of DNA on Caylee and they have the DNA through warrant from Lee.

Your point is part of my point exactly. If they had all of those WHY just the STR and not a forensic profile?  
Was it because it is not considered important to the case? Was it because they wanted to release the STR and not the full forensic one? Or was it because that is all they did?  

The FBI is very thorough, and for them to just use and STR in such a high profile case, seems strange to me.

I agree.  I believe the FBI "threw this out there" because it was not of utmost importance.  Did that test have any dates on it?  Remember too, we don't even have Annie's interview yet.  Sounds like they are saving the best for last.

Funny, Annie's statement is the opposite of the statement made by AL's friends.......

I think that maybe it would depend on where they were at. If it was one of the parties with alot of people strange to her...yes..she would cling. Maybe Caylee didn't feel comfortable with Annie? Myabe she just didn't feel comfortable with strangers. Caylee probably did not get to interact with others that much since Cindy usually took care of her.

Yes I do remember her saying that to Yuri Melich.  She added something to the effect that if she were to get upset she would be more apt to be upset re Cindy.

That heart from the scene - is it on a leaf or what?  Because wasn't the sticker residue in the shape of a heart found on the tape on the skull; and the actual sticker found in the area?
weathered duct tape ... sad
But didn't they say they only found the residue on the tape on the skull?  IE: did the sticker float off and land on more duct tape?  Or maybe there was more than one of the stickers?

---------->  I watched my dvr copy of Greta this am and someone on there said that this sticker was found on a piece of cardboard found at the scene.  Looking at the pic, the corner seems square like cardboard.  I couldn't imagine that LE would put the sticker (even for sizing) on the duct tape - as it would certainly be grounds to toss the evidence or an appeal.  Anyone see more info on this cardboard?

BUMP -------> anyone else hear this was found stuck to cardboard, not duct tape?

No, unless there were more than one. It was very specific that it was on the duct tape and it showed the duct tape in the picture.

That is what I am thinking - that there were at least two heart stickers.  I don't know how to bring the photo here, but it looked on tv like it was very square on one corner - could be rotting cardboard.........and if memory serves me correct they said that only the residue was found on the tape from the skull and that a sticker matching the size was later found.

I saw that.There is a period of time when kids are clingy to the familiar, especially if they are around strangers ( KCs friends?), or get bad vibes from certain people. Also kids who are fearful of being abandoned can be clingy, or if they have not spent enough quality time with person they are clinging to...she may have been vying for KCs attention. I really don't find that has any significance, Annie may have thought so cause she may not be around kids though.

right, but I think whatever she says she makes it fit her story of the moment. Her story then was when Caylee called her after being "kidnapped by Zanny" that Caylee was not upset after not having seen or talked to her mom in weeks.

Anthony P.I. Gave Conflicting Statements To Investigators
Thursday, February 19, 2009 – updated: 1:04 pm EST February 19, 2009

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Anthony family's private eye, Dominic Casey, gave conflicting statements to investigators under oath (read transcript) about what he was doing at the scene a month before Caylee Anthony's remains were found there and he was being represented at the time by the Anthony family's attorney.

The Anthonys' private eye also told investigators, under oath, that he did not know he was being videotaped by another private investigator, Jim Hoover, although at times it looks as though he's being videotaped from close up. Mr. Casey called Hoover a "sneaky devil."

The statement was the first Dominic Casey gave to investigators. There's a second one that the judge hasn't decided whether to release yet.

I am reading the first one now. It's 80 pages long!
