Orange County deputy Richard Cain was questioned under oath Friday by Casey Anthony’s defense team about his search at the scene where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found in August.
Deputy Richard Cain was called to the East Orange County crime scene months before Caylee Anthony’s remains were found, but he didn’t find them.
Cain has already lost his badge, and his gun. He could lose his job over the incident as well.
Richard Cain could help the defense immensely, depending on what he tells them. In dismissing Kronk’s August tip as unfounded; he gives the defense a hook to argue Caylee’s remains were not in the woods off Suburban Drive in August.
Casey Anthony’s defense team showed up at the state attorney’s office. The target is a deputy who said he did not find Caylee Anthony’s remains at the scene in August.
Deputy Richard Cain met meter reader Roy Kronk at the scene off Suburban Drive, where Caylee was later found on August 13 at 3:30 in the afternoon.
He spent less than 25 minutes searching the area where Kronk had reported seeing a vinyl bag of some kind and a round white object that Kronk said didn’t look right. And Kronk told ABC’s Good Morning America that Deputy Cain told him he was wasting the county’s time.
In December, Kronk drew a map for investigators, indicating he believed he was in the exact same place in August as he was in December when he actually did find Caylee’s remains.
Since then a prosecution expert concludes that the plant and root growth in the area indicates Caylee’s remains had been there at least since August and quite possibly since June.
