2009ORLANDO, Fla. -- Eyewitness
News and WFTV.com were the first to obtain 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. (WATCH 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.VIDEO REPORT: P.I. Jim Hoover At Remains Scene
AT THE SCENE: Images Of P.I. Searching Remains Scene
LEGAL ANALYST REVIEWS VIDEO: Interview #1 | Interview #2Casey 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 15 and 16 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 sticking 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 15 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 18 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 News.
