from Roy Kronk's statement on how he found the remains, Kronk is the "meter reader" that found body:
Roy Kronk, the meter reader who uncovered Caylee's remains, told sheriff's detectives that when he went into the woods, he saw a black plastic bag with "a dome in it."
Kronk said the bag was closed, so he took his work stick, hit the bag, "and it thudded."
He thought it sounded like plastic or a hollow bone. Kronk then took his stick, which is curved for pulling meter boxes, and grabbed the bottom of the bag and pulled it.
"And I pulled it the second time and then uhm, a human skull dropped out with hair around it and duct tape across the mouth," Kronk told detectives.
"And I went 'Oh, God,' and immediately came up and called my supervisor and then called Orange County Utilities and notified them that I had found human remains and that I needed the police."
PI Jim Hoover, was working for Anthony family:
Hoover has earlier been accused of trying to sell one of his videos to media outlets.
Hoover told detectives Cindy Anthony wanted to have Caylee's remains cremated. He told them about one conversation: "Uh, and then Cindy said, 'Well I want her and you know we're going to have her, I want to have her cremated. I want to keep her ashes with me forever,' and you know, and things like that."
Hoover also told the FBI and sheriff's detectives about an incident involving Cindy Anthony and items people had left at their house -- including a cross.
Hoover said Anthony took the cross to the backyard and started beating it with a baseball bat. She was cursing and starting naming detectives and others related to the case, such as California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and her daughter's defense attorney, Jose Baez.
Inside the Anthony family:
James Hoover, a private investigator who worked for the Anthony family, described to investigators the family's stay at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes in December after Caylee Anthony's remains were found. He also mentions that he was "uncomfortable" with the friendly relationship between Anthony's mother, Cindy, and another private investigator, Dominic Casey. Hoover also quotes Dominic Casey describing a scene in jail where Casey Anthony started eating one end of a licorice string with her attorney Jose Baez eating from the other end that was passed through a glass partition. Hoover says Dominic Casey claims it looked "like they were kissing through the glass or something." it reminded him of the spaghetti scene in "Lady and the Tramp." Orange County Jail spokesman Allen Moore, however, said attorney-client meetings are not held in rooms with a glass partition, so "the physical plant makes the account of such activity a virtual impossibility."
this case," he said in an e-mail.An interview with one of the private investigators who volunteered to work on the Casey Anthony case told investigators George Anthony had previously contemplated suicide.
Private investigator James Hoover also told Orange County Sheriff's Office detectives he was "concerned" over the close relationship between Cindy Anthony and private investigator Dominic Casey, as well as an alleged licorice sharing incident, much like the memorable scene in Disney's Lady and the Tramp, between Jose Baez and Casey Anthony at the Orange County Jail.
Hoover told investigators of an alleged jail incident involving red licorice, Baez and his client, Casey Anthony, as told to him by Dominic Casey.
"He [Baez] started eating on one side [of the licorice] and you know, she [Anthony] was eating the other side so it looked like they were kissing through the glass or something," Hoover told investigators. "Yeah, kind of like spaghetti thing."
Jail spokesman Allen Moore said "there is no barrier between the two when they have their meetings." Moore added that the only barriers, as described by Hoover, are in a visitation room in the main facility, which has been out of use since 2003.
Moore said he had heard that before, but doubted its accuracy. A corrections officer supervises lawyer-client meetings through a window, Moore said.
The private eye also said the close relationship between Cindy Anthony and Dominic Casey made him "uncomfortable."
"If I was the husband and you know, uhm, I, I'd be concerned," Hoover said describing a meeting the Anthonys', Casey and Hoover had at attorney Brad Conway's office. "They [Dominic Casey and Cindy] were like holding hands...you know, run their hand up and down their arms."
