The lawsuit alleges Anthony made numerous misrepresentations to the group and its founder, Tim Miller.

As a result, volunteers engaged in "extensive, costly and time-consuming searches for Caylee," the lawsuit claims. "The time and effort dedicated to this search diverted resources from TES' ability to provide its search and rescue operations to other families."

Texas EquuSearch said it did not know in the summer and fall of 2008 that Caylee died June 16, as her defense claimed in its opening statement at her first-degree murder trial.

The lawsuit claims the trial was the first time the organization learned of the claims of accidental death. It seeks damages in excess of $15,000.

Excerpt:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony is only days away from being released from jail, and she already faces a new lawsuit and expenses that she may have to pay for the time spent searching for her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch claims Casey's lies cost his search team $112,000, and he has filed a civil lawsuit against her. Miller had a processor serve Casey the suit at the Orange County Jail on Wednesday.

Miller said Casey owes the group money because Caylee was never really missing. The group spent 40-percent of its annual budget searching for a child discarded in a swamp.

"Less than a quarter mile from the house. I was very angry about that," said Miller. He said Casey told him during the search, "Well thanks for being here, I know she's alive out there somewhere... So please bring her back."

Lawsuit: Casey lied to searchers
By Joe Ruble

Excerpt:

Orlando, FL — Zenaida Gonzalez move over - Texas Equusearch is suing Casey Anthony, too.

"It’s important to note that Caylee Anthony is still the focus of this story. Her death is an absolute tragedy," said attorney Mark Wites, who filed the lawsuit in Orlando on behalf of the search group, led by founder Tim Miller.

Wites said Miller's group recruited over four thousand people to search for Caylee three years ago when Casey and maybe members of her family knew she was dead. It was Casey's mother Cindy who called for search assistance.

The lawsuit claims fraud and unjust enrichment. The papers claim that Casey cooperated with the search to create "an appearance that she was a victim of law enforcement's unjust investigation and that she was a concerned mother seeking her missing child's return."

ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony has been served with another lawsuit.

Earlier in the week, the recovery group Texas EquuSearch announced it was suing Casey for over $15,000 in damages from its search for Casey's daughter, Caylee, in 2008.

Wednesday morning, Tim Miller, the group's founder, was seen at the Orange County Jail as Casey was served with the latest civil suit against her.

EquuSearch said it is demanding a trial by jury to decide the case.

Casey also faces another civil trial in August against Zenaida Gonzalez, who said her life was ruined after Casey gave her name as the person last seen with her then-missing daughter.
