New Video Released Of Anthonys’ Investigator Searching Caylee Remains Scene

ORLANDO, Fla. — Eyewitness News and WFTV.com have obtained exclusive video showing George and Cindy Anthonys’ private investigator knifing, poking, prodding and digging in areas where he possibly believed he would find Caylee Anthony’s remains. 

Sheriff’s investigators and only a few others have seen the video.  It could potentially show that the Anthonys’ private eye got inside information at the scene a month before Caylee’s remains were found by detectives. The videotape and the Anthonys’ private investigator’s phone records could be the keys that link Casey Anthony to the wooded area.

 Casey Anthony has been charged with murder in connection with her daughter Caylee’s death. 

Private investigator Jim Hoover shot the video of the Anthonys’ private investigator, Dominic Casey, on November 15th and 16th at the scene where Caylee’s remains were discovered a month later. Dominic Casey can also be seen at a nearby abandoned house moving things, cutting, digging, and prodding. At both locations. he was focused on groupings of concrete stones. He is seen talking on a cell phone throughout the tape. 

Dominic Casey can be seen ramming a metal rod into the ground at the crime scene mere feet from where Caylee’s remains were later found. At the house, he forcefully knifed open black trash bags. 

“He’s almost animal-like,” said WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer, as he viewed the tape. “It’s more like, ‘Let me find the hidden treasure down here,’ than ‘Let’s preserve the integrity of the crime scene, let’s preserve the sanctity of the human remains.’” 

Dominic Casey was focused on a grouping of concrete stones at the scene. His colleague, private investigator Jim Hoover, did not allow Eyewitness News to record the sound, but reporter Kathi Belich listened to the entire tape and clearly heard Dominic Casey say at one point on the tape, “It would be right here.” 

“He has to be referring to the body,” said Sheaffer. “So the significance is, who is on the other end of that cell phone that’s told him that these three stones are a point of reference?”

 Hoover said was obvious to him that Dominic Casey was getting inside information on his cell phone on November 15th although Dominic told Eyewitness News he was talking to his ill daughter at the time. 

“What if there was a fingerprint left by the killer on that bag and because of the fact that he’s ramming that rod through the bag could’ve destroyed the fingerprint?” asked Sheaffer. 

The actions could also have destroyed hairs, fiber and fluid from the killer that could have been in the trash bag that contained Caylee’s remains. 

Detectives from Orange County and the FBI are investigating the time and date stamps on the videotape and Dominic Casey’s cell phone records as they strengthen their murder case against Casey Anthony.

 ”A big question and a big key to who killed this child…” said Sheaffer. “Who was on the other end of that cell phone?” 

Hoover said he has been cooperating with investigators since December 18th when he first realized that his videotapes had evidentiary value.

 The entire recording is 12 minutes long but Hoover would only allow the most important clips to be recorded by Eyewitness New
