Caylee Anthony Update 12 January

WESH 2 has confirmed Casey Anthony's former bodyguard gave investigators a voluntary sworn statement on Thursday that he did not know about Caylee's death before her remains were discovered.

Two sources tell WESH 2 that private investigator Dominic Casey denied under oath any knowledge of Caylee's remains before they were discovered Dec. 11.

Dominic Casey is still in the inner circle of the Anthony family and he has blasted reports that in November, while searching the area where Caylee’s remains were later found, he came across the remains himself.

"Had I the misfortune of stumbling across any remains the first thing I would have done is, I would have prayed," Casey said. "The second thing I would have done is stayed at the location and called 911."

On Nov. 15, Casey said he walked the same general wooded area where Caylee’s remains were later found. He said he was in the area to try to substantiate a sworn statement from one of Casey Anthony’s friends, which said that the area was a known hangout of Anthony’s when she was a teenager.

Casey Anthony is charged with Caylee's murder.

Casey said he took photos of the bottles, tires and trash in the area, much of which was taken by investigators when the remains were found a month later.

Casey said he feels there is no way to tell if the remains were there at the time based on what he saw and his footage.

Casey’s walk through the woods was recorded by another private investigator, James Hoover. Casey, along with multiple other sources, said Hoover is trying to sell the forage to various media organizations as proof that Caylee’s remains were not in the area in November. Casey said Hoover’s claims are false.

A sheriff’s spokesman said this week that the sheriff’s office would like to see the tape, but he would not verify if Hoover had given it to them.

Phone calls to Hoover were not returned. Casey said he plans to pursue legal action against Hoover for making false claims.

"I find it appalling that someone would profit from a missing child. It sickens me," Casey said.

I guess you get what you pay for. And the Anthonys seem to have surrounded themselves with shady characters who are going to want to profit from their misfortune sooner or later.
