P.I. Says Partner Knew Where Caylee Anthony's Body Was

[cocowiley]

I think this case is just making my head SPIN! Can someone please help me understand so what would be on that tape that would be encouraging to the police? and helpful with them moving forward? unless something was revealed on the tape? Did that make sense?

come sit with me on the lost couch, i have opcorn:!!

He did say today coming out of court he was representing DC (because he works for the A's) & when asked if he was in any trouble he said "no, not at all"..I'm wondering if he knew at that time Hoover was meeting with LE?

I do not understand how the Anthony's and DC can have the same attorney represent them. Their interests maybe in conflict with one another.

Anyone think LE will make a statement as to what's on the tape? In reading the article, it's not clear to me yet but.....if the video actually DOES show Caylee's final resting place (an area within a foot, zoomed in perhaps too and maybe even a bit of the bag) then wow. If the video did contain this, and the Anthonys knew about this video, then they might consider hiring those bodyguards around their house again. It will cause quite a stir if the Anthonys let their little granddaughter further decompose hoping nobody would find her (and only sought immunity when the meter reader did find her eventually). If Hoover held out to sell the tape (and seek immunity) before handing it over to LE, he should be ashamed as well. It seems like everyone in this case focused on getting their own bodyguards, publicists, lawyers and private investigators and of course each of them have their own conflicting duties and motives. Meanwhile, poor Caylee rotted while everyone else bickered over legalities, fees and royalties. Shocking.

I agree,

The Anthony's have known all along that Caylee was dead but they chose to focus on keeping Casey out of jail.

Cindy & George both belong in Jail along with their daughter.

Caylee is still siting in a box for "pete's sake"

You would think that this family would want her laid to rest

Yes, LP's good friends at WFTV. Surprise. Not.

You sell tapes to the National Inquirer to make money, not WFTV.

I think when all is said and done it will come out that JH came forward after cutting a deal with the state. They will be using his testimony...he gave them his tape.

They aren't going to let him compromise his testimony by making money selling what is NOW the state's evidence.

IMO

At this point? That's a very good point!

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

EXACTLY....I have NEVER, EVER, EVER, believed that the A's didn't know that this beautiful baby was dead and actually cared to find her body. I better stop, before this turns into a rant.

 

[bessie]

I don't know why I am so excited other than the fact that the tape is intact and JH has given sworn statements to both OCSO and the FBI about DC's admission. It doesn't matter if they found the body or not...they KNEW there was a body in the location meaning they KNEW somehow Caylee was dead. Yet the A fam AND DC kept up the charade for another month. Don't forget...they didn't just go to LKL the day before she was found...they were checking out another sighting which DC also was aware of and touting to be an Alive Caylee. That is fraud.

I was waiting to see how this was going to play out and if JH was going to recant what LP was saying he said. Instead...he did even better! He fooled DC into a false sense of security by leading DC to believe the tape no longer existed.

That's the first thing that came to my mind when I started reading this thread. If this is true...well, I don't even know what to say. God help them.

 

[3dogmom]

Are you suggesting the FBI bought it? Because that is who he gave it to. I'm glad someone from the defence side is doing the right thing in this case.

No I am suggesting wftv paid Hoover for exclusive rights to his story and the ability to miraculously be there when he handed the tape over to LE. Not to mention the interview immediately following the meeting. Hmm:waitasec: who tipped off the media (wftv) and why? $$$

All the pieces are falling in to place and I agree that this is most likely the case. That we learn now of this tape, in hindsight, only raises suspicion. I don't want to play devil's advocate but...is it possible they knew and the Anthony's did not? They wanted to keep the tape and location to themselves for their own gain? What if the Anthony's WERE told but didn't believe it (at least in public) from the PI and kept their crazy charade going based on what Casey was telling THEM? I just can't grasp that they would let that precious baby lay there and they keep this up. I mean, I can understand them not wanting to really face it but this is over the top. Besides, I think this is what the A's will tell anyway, true or not.

 

[Jolynna]

But would you take a personal clash as far as a false report to LE/FBI?

He is lawyered up too.

I think a lawyer would be more likely to advise coming clean for immunity than making a false report.

MOO

 

[SoCalSleuth]

If they knew where her body was then why do y'all think they were videotaping the search for it?

 

[maur33]

If this turns out to be true then it pretty much confirms what many of us have thought from day one which is Cindy & George knew that Caylee was dead.

And not only did they know that she was dead they knew where her body was.

I will say one thing. I will be very disappointed in LE if they make any kind of plea deal with the Anthony's.

If they knowingly let Caylee's body remain undiscovered for months then they should be locked up right along with Casey.

Think back to all of Cindy's interviews & statements. She gave so many people so much false hope that Caylee was alive & she did it so convincingly.

No wonder her daughter is such a polished Liar.

================

"Can you tell me whether this helps you move forward in the case?" WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Sgt. John Allen.

"Very helpful," he said

Horrible just horrible! There is no way that I believe the anthony's didn't know this information. I have never in all my life been so disgusted with so many people. All these grown men and woman basically walking all over this poor child.

Bolded: I have never heard of Kathi Belich prior to this case but I just want to say God bless this woman for her investigative skills and reporting, she has been instrumental in uncovering some very unsavory aspects of this case.

 

[Jolynna]

One HUGE difference...JH wasn't lying to the OCSO or the FBI unlike others in this case have done. If he did tell LP he had taped over it...no biggie. He may have wanted to insure that no one came looking for his video because they thought it was gone. It was a smart move on his part, imo.

That tape was his bargaining tool.

He was defending it. Can't blame him.

 

[Devon]

Well...not sure I wish the A's knew about it (you're right - that would be so cold of the whole family). But I definitely DO HOPE the video shows evidence of a bag or something at Caylee's final resting place. Only because that's where she was ultimately found and it would simply be consistent.

Interesting that when news of a video first broke, it seemed like folks thought such a development was good for the defense (I guess they assumed the video showed the location and showed there was no body there in November). But I'm going to speculate that perhaps the video DOES show evidence that Caylee is in the spot because of some things said in the report (of course, the report could be complete bunk who knows). Here's why:

First, the report says, "The videotape reportedly showed the location of Caylee's remains weeks before they were discovered". Note it says LOCATION OF CAYLEE'S REMAINS, not "video showing AREA where Caylee's remains were discovered."

Second, the report says: "...it could be evidence that helps link Casey to her daughter's death". If the video shows no evidence of remains or a bag, then how does the video link Casey to Caylee's death?.

Third, the report says, "The evidence appears to be key incriminating evidence against Casey Anthony in the murder of her daughter." What would be so "key" about a video showing nothing but leaves and trees?

It's not unknown for the media to be quite creative in their reporting.

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

Bolded by me: ITA! I am also excited that LE is encouraged by the tape and found it "very helpful".

Okay...devil's advocate speculation:

I'm guessing the PI's did NOT find the body due to the foilage, but perhaps LE spotted it in the tape having been to and scoured the crime scene.

Maybe the A's kept up their charade because maybe KC was the one who told DC where Caylee was and since the PI's didn't find her, the A's thought KC was lying again. ??? I know...I know.

I think they, or perhaps just DC, did find her. And if he found her, I can't imagine he would not have told his clients. It would have been a complete fraud to continue to pretend to look for a live Caylee when you know she is dead.

 

[RR0004]

We haven't heard DC's story yet so it's a little early to say anyone was busted. One thing we do know, no body was found and, apparently they were not even looking in the right area.

Do we have any real idea who this guy Hoover is? He seemed to just magically appear on the scene. (And I know how he stepped forward and offered his services to the As, but it seems that no one really knew him...including LP.)

 

[Pollywog]

I cannot even imagine that the A's knew where she was and just left her that. That makes my heart hurt. Surely they did not know, but then maybe that is why they asked for immunity.

If they knew and left her there then they all deserve to be in jail for a long time. KC is not so special that the family wouldhave allowed Caylee to lay out there in the weather etc.

Oh man I am just sick over this, even the thoughts of it.

 

[twomanywords]

If they knew where her body was then why do y'all think they were videotaping the search for it?

So , that Cindy could keep saying" There is absolutely no evidence!" Also, so they knew no one else could find it and they could keep asking for donations to do their pathetic search/nonsearch.

Excellent point!

 

[mom4321]

Say what?

I'm thickheaded today with the beginnings of a cold, forgive me. Does this mean that since these PI's were hired by CA & GA and quote unquote knew that the body was in that location that CA & GA would? I wonder what made the PI come forward with this further tidbit?

I think they knew. But why would a PI risk his own freedom to cover up for these people ? Why didnt he tell ?
