Casey Anthony: Her bill jumps; how will she pay?

Casey Anthony’s bill for investigative costs has jumped $119,000.

Chief Judge Belvin Perry ruled that Anthony must pay that extra money to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, and WFTV-Channel 9 reminded viewers that it was first to report that news at 10 and 11 p.m. Thursday.

Anthony’s total bill for the sheriff’s office is now $145,000 for the office’s costs in searching for Caylee Anthony. Anthony was acquitted this summer of murder in the 2008 death of her child. Defense attorney Jose Baez said, in his opening statement, said the child had drowned in June 2008, but law enforcement kept searching for the toddler. Her remains were found in December 2008.

Anthony’s total bill for investigative costs stands at $217,000, for the sheriff’s office, FDLE and the MBI, WESH-Channel 2 anchor Martha Sugalski noted.

How could Anthony pay the bill? She is taking nature and landscape photographs in north Florida, where she is hiding while serving a year’s probation for check fraud, People magazine reports in an issue that hit stands today. People said it talked to people who are in touch with Anthony — and stressed it not pay for the information. The magazine reports that Anthony is “completely estranged” from her parents, George and Cindy, since they gave a three-part interview to “Dr. Phil.”

Did her parents hurt the market for a Casey interview?
