A final hearing to decide whether the Orange County deputy sheriff accused of improperly investigating as tip that could have led to the discovery of Caylee Marie Anthony will be held next week.

The Sheriff's office is seeking termination for Deputy Richard Cain. The hearing will be held on May 19 and is not open to the public.

The Administrative Review Captain will make a final decision within two days of the hearing, according to a Sheriff's Office spokesman.

Cain is accused of not properly investigating tip made in August by meter reader Roy Kronk about a suspicious bag found in an area near the Anthony home on Hopespring and Suburban drives.



After the missing toddler's remains were found, Cain also failed to tell investigators he had looked into a tip in the same area months before the discovery. His story changed several times while being interviewed by investigators.

Shortly after the remains were found Cain was stripped of his law enforcement powers and moved to work in the supply division.
