Sex, Lies, Cover Up In Casey Anthony Case, PI Alleges

SEMINOLE COUNTY, FL — The private investigator hired in July 2008 to help the Baez Law Firm work on Casey Anthony’s defense in the 2008 murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, has dropped a bombshell in court documents.

Dominic Casey claims in affidavits filed in Anthony’s bankruptcy case that her lawyer, Jose Baez, told him that “Casey had murdered Caylee and dumped the body somewhere and, he needed all the help he could get to find the body before anyone else did.”

Dominic Casey also alleges an attempt was made to point the finger at Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found the child's body in 2008. In addition, Dominic Casey’s affidavit also claims that Anthony and Baez had sexual relations.

“I arrived at Baez’s office unexpectedly one day and once again, witnessed a naked Casey,” one affidavit said. When Dominic Casey confronted Anthony about it, “Casey told me she had to do what Jose said because she had no money for her defense,” the affidavit, posted online by WFLA said.

A request for comment from Baez’s office made by Patch has not been answered.

The affidavits were filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. In regard to Kronk, Dominic Casey claimed Anthony told him, “We could say Roy Kronk kidnapped Caylee.”

Anthony was 25 when she stood trial in her daughter’s death in 2011. The child was reported missing in the Orange County area, sparking a well-publicized search that ultimately ended with the discovery of the toddler’s body in 2008.

Investigators charged Anthony with first-degree murder, manslaughter and aggravated child abuse in Caylee’s death. She was, however, acquitted on the more serious charges but convicted for providing false information to law enforcement. The jury seated in the case was selected in Pinellas County and was transported to Orange County to hear the evidence. Judge Belvin Perry Jr. drew the jury pool from the Tampa Bay area county because of concern the Orlando area would produce a tainted selection, a previous Patch story noted.

Anthony’s acquittal sparked outrage across the country and many in the Tampa Bay area took part in the Porch Lights on for Caylee Marie Anthony campaign launched on Facebook in the days immediately following the jury’s July 5, 2011, verdict.
