Casey Anthony Details That Are As Bizarre As The Case Itself

Publish date: 2024-05-15

In August, meter reader Roy Kronk saw a suspicious black garbage bag while relieving himself in the woods. According to Criminal Brief, after calling the police for days, he received no response. Finally, Deputy Richard Cain came but did not wish to check because the ground was wet, and he had a fear of snakes. It was not until December that Kronk called again.

Reportedly, the police had not investigated the area closely because a psychic told them the body would not be there. Once Caylee Anthony's body was recovered, the psychic implied that Kronk was involved in her death.

Casey Anthony's defense later leaped on the suggestion, finding Kronk's several ex-wives, who affirmed that he was inappropriate with children. His ex-wife Jill Kerley stated, "Roy probably was the one who murdered Caylee Anthony, or had something to do with it." In her bankruptcy filing, private investigator Dominic Casey stated that Casey Anthony noted that the back gate had been ajar and that "we could say that Roy Kronk kidnapped Caylee."

On July 29, 2009, Kronk received a reward of $5,000 for finding Caylee's body. A Casey Anthony spokesman paid him another $5,000. That same day, Orange County commissioners voted to pay up to $15,000 of Kronk's legal fees, which, by this point, had exceeded the reward.
