(I believe he interviewed Lee Anthony and the neighbor with shovel)

"Erickson was involved in several high profile cases, such as the investigation into SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau's death, and the case against Casey Anthony.

Erickson was one of the first to interview Lee Anthony in 2008. He also interviewed Casey's neighbor, who loaned her a shovel during the time Caylee was missing.

Erickson was supposed to be a witness during the trial in May. The defense had already taken a deposition from Erickson.

WFTV Legal Analyst Bill Sheaffer says the statements he already made under oath, will have to speak for him during trial.

“The state can use his deposition as substantive evidence as though he was there in person,” Sheaffer said."
