Caylee/Casey Anthony Case EXCLUSIVE: New Prosecution Witness Sean Henady
Indiana– Last Wednesday, attorney for Texas Equusearch, Mark Nejame, released a few aerial images that in their opinion prove that the area where 34 month old Caylee Marie Anthony was under water at the time of the last search.
Today, in newly released discovery by the State’s Attorney’s Office, we see the aerial imagery expert responsible for that footage makes the witness list for the prosecution.
Sean Henady, tapped personally by TES founder Tim Miller, spoke exclusively today to blinkoncrime. This will be his only statement regarding the Caylee Anthony case until it’s conclusion.
In August and again in November of 2008, my services were requested by Texas Equusearch for aerial mapping in their efforts to locate missing toddler Caylee Anthony. In November only, my participation expanded to asissting with coordination of the search effort on the ground.
The complete case file, which includes information and Imagery from my office, has been provided to both the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the defense counsel for Casey Marie Anthony as mandated by the discovery process. Every Image from my office was marked “Confidential Not For Public Distribution.”
Sean Henady, President Aerial Image Corp, 3 View Technologies
Henady, together with 12 year missing persons veteran and former director of Missing and Exploited Childrens program Mandy Albritton, recently co-founded 3 View Search Services.
3 View, a non profit organization, is a premier law enforcement support vehicle to provide resources and assets to emergency services teams and to facilitate search and recovery efforts.
Currently, 3VSS resources are only available at the request of the law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in a missing persons case. 3VSS is chaired by former Congressman Nick Lampson, founder of The Missing and Exploited Childrens caucus in Washington, DC. Leonard “Len” Wilson is the organizations Chief Executive Officer.
Henady and his team of imaging experts worked extensively on the Stacy Peterson , Brittanee Drexel, and Corrie Anderson cases
In 2005, missing Indianna man Charles Ricky was located exclusively by Henady’s aerial images taken over a quarry he was ultimately recovered in.

WOW BLINK!!! My request for info on the new witnesses resulted in you posting a WHOLE NEW COMPLETE STORY WITH PHOTOS, Just for ME!!!!!!!!!!! (notice I don’t put a question mark behind that… for good reason!!!
I am so impressed!!! (even before I go read it! GO BLINK!)
Ask. You get.
B
Any chance they are working on the Christine Sheddy case?
Well now, you would have to ask me that on her thread
B
Great work, once again, Blink. Excellent timing for your article, which is nautical miles past the MSM stories.
And a clue for anyone wanting to support a missing person’s ‘not for profit’ group, this looks like a highly legitimate organization as per it’s mandate to support services as specified by law enforcement and their needs and to work hand in hand with the likes of Mr. Tim Miller and TES. These are expensive resources, flying photographers by helicopter, and not without risk to themselves just because of the nature of the flying conditions and topography and going where they are needed.
(Certainly no ‘propheting’ felons and the like in this organization)
(geeze, even after going off topic– she is so good to me!!!
suz… you make a good point… cold case, the need for detailed mapping to reconstruct the scene…. you could be onto something there girl!!
okay, now where is the article on James Thompson, who owns a Maitland computer repair business? I hope I don’t sound ungrateful about the article on Sean Henady. It does amaze me that you had this article in time for today’s news release. You must be clairvoyant
I tried to post the link…didn’t work
You should be able to, just copy and paste. Just put the name of it in if that does not work.
Your correct, not me, and not anyone on my team
B
Kleat. You ROCK!!! Ask, and you get! Am impressed.
blink
awesome thank you
I notice Henady doesn’t state whether the area was under water or not. I’m guessing the photos will tell the tale. Am off for a look. Above link not working for me.
All I can say is from the credentials of 3VSS…that is the way you go about being a not for profit organization in the pursuit of helping missing people. No games, no felons, no cries for money….just good honest work (and results).
Sean Henady….professionalism at its finest! My guess is Blink, that you know about/have seen every image he has to offer up due to your extensive involvement in this case from the get-go. I don’t even have any questions about this man…..I would trust both Henady and Blink in this case even if they told me the sun was blue
Finally, the cream has risen to the top….what a breath of fresh air!
LRT, I appreciate the heads up, but can you kindly just spell it out?
B
I knew when I saw his name in the discovery today for witnesses for the prosecution..I remember him from the Stacey Peterson case.
What a consumate professional this man is….now can we have more people involved the search for America’s like this man.
Sorry ..forgot the TY! Blink..how rude of me.
As if. Miss Gypsy, you and the concept of rude are strangers..

Latest Casey Anthony news: Dr. Kathy Reichs appeared on the today show this morning, see video below. Dr. Kathy Reichs is on the Casey Anthony Defense Team: A native of Chicago, Dr. Reichs earned her Ph.D. at Northwestern University. A former consultant to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina, she currently consults for the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale in the province of Québec. Dr. Reich is the author of several bestselling books, including Deja Dead, Bare Bones, and Devil Bones.
“From teaching FBI agents how to detect and recover human remains, to separating and identifying commingled body parts in her Montreal lab, as a forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs has brought her own dramatic work experience to her mesmerizing forensic thrillers,” : her online bio. Dr. Reichs is one of only seventy-seven forensic anthropologists who have been certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology.
Blink, do you know of her. I’m from Quebec and have never heard her name.
She is highly respected. Enter the battle of the experts.
B
Hmmm. what happened to less respected Dr Lee? How many additions and subtractions on the defense team will take place before trial or a plea bargain? Bets anyone?
are we to worry that she is on the defense team? if she’s that great blink?
No. This is not an area in my opinion there are any cracks in the cement.
B
p.s you said she was I meant is this a plus for them?
Is it just me or has the past weeks been like watching a game of texas holdem. You show me yours and I will show you mine. So who’s got the aces? Hmmm
I was just reading and here is some emails from Oak Ridge to OCSO, they are talking about decomposition evidence etc.
This information answered a couple of questions to me about the trunk…
I am wondering when they will release the new docs? anyone know? Blink?
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88156
Joan, wasn’t the last forensic expert also from Canada– Ontario– I’d forgotten all about him.
Blink, however there are cracks between pavers!!
I surely hope you are right– Casey must have one heck of a book deal to pay for all this!! I wonder if Ms. Lyon is bringing a level of expertise to this case, vs the Henry Lee’s and other so-called ‘high profilers’ who sell their wares to the highest ‘rated’.
What if Casey can’t follow through with her book deal before a verdict comes down? What then? Who pays the bills? Maybe back-up plan is for Casey to have the deal in hand, and parents substitute themselves if need be at the proper time.
How can someone, such as a defense attny such as Ms. Lyon, who must have some common sense savy as to who she is dealing with, ever get a deal for a client who has no fear, maintains moveable myths of her own creation and will not budge? She’s got the world by her little finger now, and knows it.
Ms.Lyons has not impressed me at all.I don’t really know how whe got the reputation that sshe has but,she hasn’t shown me anything.
I respectfully disagree, I think she is competent and well recruited. I do admit she is in need of a stylist. Don’t everyone give me the “You can’t judge a book by it’s cover,”. Yes you can. Perception is everything. She is from one of my fave cities in US, nobody dresses like that there, I promise.

I have been a long time reader of this site, but I have yet to post. So tonight I would like to change that and express my thanks to the author of this very fine blog. I appreciate the “just the facts ma am’ I enjoy the civil discourse very much. I have long suspected KC but I firmly believe in the innocent till proven guilty. That is why I was glad when Lyon came on board as it was obvious that Jose was in way over his head. I want her convicted, and I want it done with all safeguards in place. My question for tonight is am I missing something on the exclusive Sean Henady post? Is it just those 2 paragraphs or are there more that I am to click? Thanks
TY, the Henady piece in one page, his statement is indented.
B
Thanks Blink.
Do you believe the defense will try to shred this guys reputation?
and # 27, I agree, I think Lyons can be underestimated, because she is low key, and her manner is less aggressive than other defense attorneys such as Baden or Weintraub. In the end, though, that may be right touch, in a case like this.
No. That would backfire. He is widely respected and so is his team.
B
I’m sorry, I consistently leave words out, but you get the gist, I hope.
Wow! Great addition to the team.
Thanks, B!
What LRT is trying to explain is many of us are being harrassed on the FL topix board. This troll claims to be a member of yours in good standing and friends with you. It is attacking people, and we know you dont tolerate this type of stuff. This is just one of its uneccessary nasty posts.

I could use roadrunner, foxfire/mozilla
aol, or just blank too. no need to hide, and seek like you and others. hey btw I pee standing!
find me on Blinker…good friends with Blinker, she knows my identity, can you guess? YOU have commented on my blogs, in fact blinker always does. lmao. google, google, google.
I think this poster has crossed the line, and felt it should be brought to your attention. We have moved our site so we can discuss this case without interruptions from this Hagertown troll, yet that hasnt seemed to have stopped it from trying to annoy us.
Blink Your site is great! Sorry for interrupting all the excellent posters here with this menacing nonsence….Just felt this might be of interest to you. Thank you and peace out.
No clue, thanks for the heads up but my advice is don’t feed the troll. Nobody can believe a person like that is affiliated with me whatsoever. They come out of the woodwork, cant be helped, let’s move on.

#22 emails on webslueths were quite interesting…
Here is one that I thought was very interesting:
From: Vass, Arpad Alexander
Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 8:31 AM
To: Vincent, Michael (OCSO)
Subject: RE: **Exempt**
Mike, I try very hard not to second-guess people since I am well aware that I know very little of what is really going on in an investigation, but I think the early release of the chloroform data was a mistake. Since I am saying nothing to anyone outside my group, I am now getting criticized for other reasons and feel that it might be time to back away from this work. I will of course get the next report out to you and Yuri as promised as soon as I can. On a final note, some of the products we have seen include Pinene and Limonene. This could point to a (possibly) shallow marshy area with decaying vegetation. Is there such an area anywhere near where the car was found? Is it possible to get a topo map of the area? Would it be possible to speak to the individual leading the search from Necrosearch? Arpad
Arpad A. Vass, Ph.D.
Very interesting about the products Pinene and Limonene. These are pointing to a shallow marshy area with decaying vegetation. Quite interesting seeing as how these samples are from the car, and prior to the body being found. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE ALL OF THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS WAITING!!!!
Im very familiar with Kathy Reichs = she writes a series of extremely
popular mystery books and also is the producer of the TV series
Bones – which also has a huge following. I cannot understand why she has aligned herself with the Anthony case. In her interview she states that she will report the “truth” about what she finds. I find that disingenuous to the extreme – Baez is not paying her for the truth, he is paying her to cast doubt. I have read all her books and actually she is quite accessible through her website and I emailed her
and she replied regarding the Anthony case. It was the standard
“not proven guilty yet, everyone entitled to a defense” line, which I
was quite aware of! However, my point was that as a person who is admired greatly by her fans, it was puzzling to me that she would want to be associated with this particular case which has proven to be so toxic to the honest people associated with it and who have all quit the case after they got a whiff of the Anthonys and Baez, namely Nejame, Tim Miller, the Padilla group, all come to mind. Shes in it for the publicity it brings her and her shows and books of course,
and another bubble is burst for me regarding honesty and integrity
for the people I thought had them. No more of your books for me, Ms Reichs.
If you juxtapose this excellent post with the email from Aropad Voss pretty much saying he’s done BECAUSE of the publicity, you can see who has their priorities.

# 33-
Maybe Casey threw her shoes in the trunk, thus transporting the terps back into the car from the dump scene, or her pants, or the shovel?
#33 blink. Maryland?
Being from Chicago, I have never heard of this women, nor any cases she has been on. All the, he said she said is really getting annoying.
I hope that they have closer ariel shots that really show it being “under water” better. From what I can see, I see NO WATER… I feel bad for Tim. He has done nothing but try to help this ungratful family of nutjobs. I will NEVER for the life of me figure out why grandpa and grandma have “NOT” embraced all the help they received in finding of little Caylee…rather their intent of tearing them apart and trying to prevent them from searching. Its just so sad that they have drank so much of the “CASEY KOOLAID”. My god, what is with their own sick reality. George being a ex cop really makes him look even more pathtic. He should know by the evidence that they already have been shown that this chick did it. What kinda of cop was he…TRAFFIC?
Hopefully, it will all come out…every last sickening detail. Every stone unturned and maybe even they will see what kind of person Casey really was. Its gonna be doc against doc. ….One can only pray that Casey will just admit to it. She is not looking all that well lately…Haggered is a good word. Not chipper like she once was. Maybe even she is starting to get the BIG PICTURE !
thanks foer all your hard work Blink….your as good as it gets….
aaw, Chi, your just saying that cause you saw what I wrote about Chi being my fave city in the US.
But seriously, the images released are really in low res, and only as good as your viewing capabilities in this “genre” and proper analysis overlay if you will.. That said, keep in mind there are hundreds if not thousands that have not been seen by the public yet..
B
And Blink…..Not to change the subject…But As far as Stacy Peterson goes, I have long thought that he (drew) dumped her in Wisconsin. They supposed to have love riding the Harley in a certain area there (according to him) and he also had access to a plane….She is NOT in Illinois and never was…..

This case is so terribly sad, isn’t it, Blink. An absolutely beautiful, vivacious, precocious, loving & well-loved toddler’s life was literally snuffed out by her own mother. Her doting grandparents, who cared for, supported, nurtured & protected her are now attempting to exonerate her killer. They’re trying to prevent her killing from being avenged, in effect, denying that precious child justice. How on Earth can this be?
The evidence is not only beyond a reasonable doubt, it’s beyond ANY doubt that Casey murdered Caylee. I just don’t understand why George and Cindy Anthony are doing any of this.
The aerial photos of the site where Caylee’s remains were found have blown apart the defense’s latest trial balloon about her body having been placed there after Casey was incarcerated. How can these attorneys purport such nonsense? How can this case even be going to trial? The prosecution has her dead to rights. They should be making a deal, not spending gobs of money on a hopeless defense. Not to mention the horrendous ordeal all the players involved are enduring, George and Cindy included. I am so tired of all this.
All I keep thinking is WHAT ABOUT CAYLEE? Is anyone in her family going to stand up for her? EVER?????
Do we know any of the details of how the photos of Casey’s tattoo were taken? I’m thinking it would be incredibly humiliating (I hope). She would have had to take off the jail duds she has been wearing for a year and at least strip down to her bra or less. Was it a female photographer? Were others there? I would think that would have to have some effect on her. Maybe the interaction with someone other than ‘supporters’ last week had something to do with awful she looked at the hearing. She has to be thinking about how bad it looks for her to have a tattoo that directly contradicts her contention that she was searching hi & low for her missing baby.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..Fav city huh? Lord knows why…HA HA ! If you ever here….drop me a line…..would love to show yeah the REAL Chitown…..Glad there are more pics. Can t wait for this trial to start..and it BEST BE ON TV! Heck I’d even pay to watch it !
Blink, is it true that Ms. Lyons holds the key to have a person released from a life sentence and refuses to do it? I’ve read somewhere she has a letter or document that proves a man in an Illinois jail, serving a life sentence, is innocent of the murder he is being held for. If that is true, it is disgraceful.
I’d also like to comment on the location of where little Caylee’s remains were found. I think the site itself says a LOT about who killed this beautiful child. How in the “WORLD” could’ve an outsider picked this particular spot to dump her body? I mean, they kidnapped this child, murdered her and then planted her little body in the one and only place KC and her schoolhouse friends played and buried their dead pets, right? I haven’t seen one document or statement that says KC told the Nanny about this spot. Sure, she couldn’t think that far ahead, thank God, but it would have helped her defense if in the early interviews she would’ve said she repeatedly told the Nanny about her “hanging out” there. It’s too late for that now.
I hope the prosecuters bring a big ole globe into the courtroom and really, really emphasize the unbelievable possibility of an outsider picking this very spot in the WHOLE WORLD to leave this body.
There I go again, arguing this case when it’s obvious the only defense is to pay off a juror or threaten a member of a juror’s family. There is no defense! KC IS GUILTY!
#35
what would be so cool is when this is brought up about these things being found in the trunk or whereever they were found (I believe in the trunk) and the defense tries to rip apart the evidence, the prosecutor can then question why Cindy washed casey’s pants and maybe even cleaned her shoes. That would be good because then the jury can say, YES, why would she wash those things and it will blow up in the defenses face!!!
Couldn’t casey have pulled her little car off the road at the end of suburban, parked it under the single slash pine tree there, thrown open the trunk, carried the bagged remains 19 feet, closed the trunk and driven off with the pine needles or terps that made their way into the trunk in the meantime, perhaps when the trunk lid smacked into an overhead branch?
Only thing is I am not 100% sure where that pine is. Sounds like it is near the road, but I need to beg dave or someone to go look.
Boz with all respect – there is no possibility that with a case of this visibility that a juror will be able to be bought off or threatened. Any juror that holds out – if that were to happen – would be put under a media and public microscope. There would be no way to pull something like that off with a ‘trial of the decade’ like this.
boz, except that if I were going to frame someone, i would dispose of the body close to where the police would expect to find it—-right near the home (which is where you would expect it if a family member did it, right? which is why I am still frustrated it wasn’t found earlier)
sayyyy, what do we think the FBI’s Questioned Documents Unit was looking at? The FBI’s site says this about that unit:
Questioned Documents
The Team
Document analysts (forensic examiner), document analysts, and management and program assistant
The Work
Document Examinations
Examine and compare data appearing on paper, including handwriting, hand printing, typewriting, printing, erasures, alterations, indented writing, and obliterations.
Shoe Print Database
* Maintain the database which consists of a collection of sole and heel designs and enables users to determine the manufacturer of shoes from prints or impressions left at crime scenes. QDU personnel also examine shoeprint and tire tread impressions.
* Examine and match torn or perforated edges of items, such as paper and stamps;
* Examine and analyze typewriter ribbons, photocopiers, facsimiles, graphic arts, and plastic bags;
* Maintain the Anonymous Letter File, the Bank Robbery Note File, the National Fraudulent Check File, and the Watermark File. These computerized files contain images of ransom notes, extortion letters, and other anonymous communications that assist examiners in the association of questioned documents from different cases with a common source. These databases have been extremely effective against crime committed across state lines.
* Testify in legal proceedings.

Boz # 43… I too had heard this and kept forgetting to look it up… here ya go, the articles on Ms Lyon:
**snippet**
The case raises the question whether the attorneys were upholding the integrity of the legal system by safeguarding client-lawyer confidentiality or whether they chose priorities that could have cost an innocent person a life sentence in prison. The attorneys stated that it was a tough decision for them but that they would have to stand by it, unless Mr. Logan had been threatened with execution.
Professor Andrea Lyon, the director of the DePaul Center for Justice in Capital Cases, worked with the two attorneys in defending Mr. Wilson, their client. As a practical matter she considered Mr. Wilson to be her client as well. So she also was among the attorneys who decided not disclose the confession.

#41 – Lily – seems to me Crazy didn’t have much problem taking her clothes off before…..just don’t understand why it should have such an effect on her now? Maybe because she’s not as fit as she was before?
Blink, do you know if there was 8 photobucket pics or 8 CD’s of photobucket pics? I’ve read both on local news sites….
