There are unconfirmed reports that Roy Kronk’s live-in girlfriend who works at the Orange County Jail, overheard Casey Anthony tell Jose Baez, her lead defense attorney, that she did over-dose her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee, with chloroform, as she wanted to hang out with friends.
As the unverified report goes, Casey also told Baez that she panicked, drove around with Caylee’s body in her car trunk for several days, before dumping the body in the woods off Suburban Drive near her parents home, George and Cindy, where she also lived.
Sources say, Kronk’s girlfriend reported the jailhouse conversation she overheard to him, so that’s how he knew where to go in search of Caylee’s remains.
During the 6-week trial, Casey’s defense team argued successfully, the toddler drowned accidentally in the family swimming pool and grandfather George, covered up the accident. The toddler’s remains were found on December 11, 2008 in woods near the Anthony family home.
Prosecutors said that Caylee was poisoned with the deadly drug chloroform and suffocated with the duct tape that was found over her nose and mouth.
A Pinellas County 12-person jury, comprised of 7 women and 5 men, last week found Casey not guilty of murder in the death of her daughter and said, prosecutors did not prove she caused the toddler’s death.
The jury did find Casey guilty of four misdemeanor charges of lying to law enforcement officers. She was sentenced to four years in jail.
Anthony, who will be released from the Orange County Jail on Sunday, July 17, has already served three years, before being brought to trial.
Given the outrage in Orlando and elsewhere surrounding Casey’s acquittal of murder charges, there are reports she will leave the Orange County Jail via an exit which will not be announced, heading for an undisclosed location.
