4:31 p.m. ABC News allegedly paid Jose Baez upwards of $200,000 for home videos of Caylee Marie Anthony, according to a sworn statement Jim Hoover made this morning.
Attorney John Morgan asked Hoover if he knew of anyone getting paid by ABC to which Hoover answered, "Um, I had head that money had been given to the attorney [Baez] for some individual -- I don't know if it was given to the attorney or to Casey for some videos that was on ABC."
A few moments later he said Dominic Casey told him Baez was paid between $200,000 or $225,000 for the videos.
4:10 p.m. Private investigator Jim Hoover told an attorney this morning that the purpose of his trip to a wooded area near the Anthony home in November was to look for the dead body of Caylee Marie Anthony, according to a transcript of his interview.
Hoover said Anthony family private investigator Dominic Casey asked Hoover to accompany him in November.
"[He] asked me to go with him -- asked me to go with him to find Caylee's body," Hoover said in the interview.
3:47 p.m. Attorneys in the civil case against Casey Anthony just released a 152-page transcript of the interview with Jim Hoover.
Attorney John Morgan filed the transcript and video recording in court, making both a public record.
The Sentinel is reading the document and will post updates as they are available.
1:46 p.m. An attorney in the civil case against Casey Anthony has finished conducting a sworn interview with private investigator Jim Hoover.
Hoover left the Morgan & Morgan Law Offices around 1:15 p.m. after being questioned for nearly three hours.
This morning he was asked a slew of questions by Attorney John Morgan. Hoover said Morgan asked him about whether there was a romantic relationship going on between private investigator Dominic Casey and Cindy Anthony.
"He asked me who I thought Dominic was talking to" in November, the day Hoover videotaped him searching the woods near where the remains were eventually discovered, Hoover said.
Hoover also told Morgan he didn't think it was odd that they searched the woods the first day, and supposed Dominic Casey was "grandstanding" and trying to be a "super p.i.," he said.
"I don't think [Dominic Casey] found [Caylee] the day I was out there with him," Hoover said, but he wasn't sure about the days that Hoover went in the woods without him.
10:38 a.m. Hoover arrived at about 9:45 a.m. at the law offices of Morgan & Morgan in downtown Orlando.
"I don't know what they are going to ask me," Hoover said, when reached by the Orlando Sentinel reached him earlier this morning. "There is nothing I can add. No one knows anything about Zenaida Gonzalez."
Dominic Casey, another private investigator who works for the Anthony family, who was supposed to give a sworn statement at 1 p.m. today will no longer happen. Dominic Casey has retained high powered attorney Chaney Mason.
