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.

EXPECT THIS TO BE A KEY LYON ATTACK*** (she has her work cut out for her–keep reading)
BLINK, I know you’ve probably already stated, but do you live in Orlando also ? Its amazing to me how many people here could care less about this case (other than the fact it makes Floridians look like a bunch of redneck criminals again). I hesitate to say I live in Orlando, technically Winter Park, but no one knows that so I say Orlando suburb.
I do not.

I can’t believe I missed that one… thanks suz and lily! BTW, what are your SL names? Mine is the same as here just because I signed up there first before finally commenting here, I guess that worked out well. Hope to see you tonight on SL!
silver – brilliant, mountain biker and a great sense of humor! Thanks for lightening things up today.
I just saw this…….. I realize not much weight is given to the credability of this guy (inmate) but he wrote a letter to the judge this time.
He says who the killer is to- without mentioning a name…

Amiyah – I am Lily Paquot in Second Life but I haven’t been able to get away in the evening to get into Second Life for about a week! I love it though! I wish I had been there when Mariann showed up – minus proper clothing for a campfire . . . when I read her comment here at Blink I laughed OUT LOUD – people stared at me. LOL
Amiyah, I am one of those hapless souls who keeps signing up for Second Life and not getting any email response.
I am going to try it from a different PC and see if that helps.
I think that Baez thing was what was called a who-struck-John case: Baez said one thing (“didn’t recall”), the investigator said the other, and there was no way to determine the truth.
A Lyon is only as good as it’s teeth. No teeth, fate is sealed.

Not at all, particularly when the complaint against them can be easily verified, for example where they mismanage funds. Just by way of example:

Maura, We have a question for you from our Second Life scenes we are trying to figure out. And we all immediately said in unison “Maura will know”.
Did LE take a cut out sample of the carpet in Casey’s room? In setting up Casey’s room, Angela (with her hawk eyes
) noticed something and we all can’t remember if the piece of carpeting was taken by LE. Like a piece cut from the carpet and taken.
Thanks in advance from all the Second Life Blinkers
and attributes of ‘stealth’ and agility play a part too, as well as pack co-operation. Some individual packs have developed co-operative techniques of night hunting adult elephants and have become successful at it, where other lion prides have not learned this technique and the elephants in a healthy herd, do not feel threatened. This might be a Lyon pride that has some techniques up its sleeve where an accused with not the publicity of this case, can not afford to bring this level of team on board. And the elephants beware.
Blink, do you think that Ms. Lyon was contributing to the defense as an advisor long before she officially showed up? And that part of the ‘she’s innocent’ promo would be to play to the jury pool ASAP regardless of intent of this defense? They can still claim they had not sufficient time to investigate their defense strategy this early, so can explain away the ‘innocent’ thing to buy whatever time, gains, against the state’s position with a strategy to first, remove the dp, second, to get the best deal possible for their client, which may include some time off between trial and appeal, if needed. Again, if she were convicted, they would argue that Ms. Huizinga’s case should further be delayed. Amy would likely move on, and drop her case if the defense could endlessly delay. Delays always are a benefit.
I think she was in play when the DP was put back on the table, absolutely.

Shelly,
I watched those Greta videos and in the first one Greta asked if her room was always this way and CA positively said yes, nothings changed. In the second video the bed is moved to the adjacent wall. First its by the window and then its on the sidewall to the right when you walk in. So the furniture was rearranged
Look at the headlines now! CA is “cut off” from fed up G & C!

# 415 Mariann-Thanks for the link
Good for them! I hope that they follow through.
# 410 I know Silver, my comment(#398) had a heavy dose of sarcasm. But I’ve seen articles where lawyers have committed crimes, and it seemed like it did take a hell of a lot for them to finally get booted (not talking about this case).
This is my opinion, ofcourse, but I am starting to see too often that alot of these child murders, a good majority is from unmarried young couples, and are still “active”. Casey saw Caylee as a hinderance, and when she turned 21, her single nightlife took precedence. The Hayley situation? You have a not-to-stable (mentally) dad, and you have this 17 year old newlywed bride that was not the biological mother. Not even beginning with the statistics of 90-95 percent of all child abductions are either family related, or by someone the child abductee knows. My opinion with Misty Croslin is, as in the same situation with Casey, she saw Hayley as a hinderance or a liability. Funny how the “abduction” was done while the dad was at work, no forced entry, a cylinder block holding the door open for accessibility, and it has already been established that not only did Misty fail a polygraph and inconsistent stories, but she had “friends” over at the house that evening, where as before she denied that. Misty says she was “tricked” with the polygraph. Casey claims LE was trying to “trick” a confession out of her. Similarities to the core……….
One other thing to add….both the Anthony’s and Misty Croslin have both given inconsistent statements.
CindeefromWS,
There are 2x’s the LE took photo’s in that room. Once before Greta visited and the bed was moved. Second LE photo shows it was moved back after Greta’s visit to old place. Greta specifically asked was this the way the room had always been and Cindy gave an affirmative.
Therefore, through discussion it came up that perhaps the LE had taken a segment of the carpet and therefore the bed was moved maybe to cover the hole while Greta’s film crew was there. I can’t find the info indicating LE took a sample.
And did the dogs search in the house? We cant find if they did/do that even/or did not.
Cindee, forgive me, but I can’t remember if you got in Second Life?
Kleat, I think it would absolutely be non-smoking, even virtual smoking! I just had the image of the worn housecoat, curlers, fluffy slippers and a cigarette just kind of hanging there with a big long ash ready to drop. But I agree. I’m a five and one-half year lung cancer survivor so there would be no one more adamant than me about smoking!
I am so very proud of you for that I can’t tell you.
B
Awww, Blink! Thanks, honey. I’ve been blessed that’s for sure!!!
Shelly, if you’re still here, I didn’t get hooked up with audio for SL yet, so am going to wait till tomorrow when it should happen. Thanks for your help last night.
Great Bees!!! Wonderful to hear!!!
(and of course, loved the comic of whatshername– that comic card character lady whose name escapes me now. Then there’s the Andrea Martin as ‘Edith Prickley’!! HA!!
(of course, the non-Canucks might need a bit of help with that one! 
And thanks, Mariane for the story link about letters! Now did someone in the MSM, like Bob Kealing read my post wondering about those ‘letters’ and jailhouse policies???
I surely hope George and Cindy read Andrea Lyon’s paper that we have been discussing here, as they might really understand how Baez has been manipulating them and acting inappropriately as ‘gatekeeper’ to their communications. That is plain wrong! (especially if he acted as ‘priority postmaster’ to literally deliver contraband to Casey)!
And of course, he could have potentially helped pass info back and forth about the baby’s whereabouts and other important issues. (as Lee said he could do)
Andrea Lyon wrote in her paper, that it’s important for the defense in dp cases, to keep family support up, through visits of family to the accused. If Casey says something, she’s an adult, she knows better than to say things or act out on video, if it happens, too bad. A family should be able to visit and if it’s shown, fine, those parents are used to the media by now.
(and to Mariane’s link a few posts back– does anyone find it strange that of the MSM, some of the ‘firsts’ with new or even reliable info, are from the TVGuy Blog??!?! Good heavens!!!! )
Bees – congrats on your 5 1/2 years! I lost my dad to emphysema a couple of years ago and my mom has smoking health issues but she quit 3 years ago (yay!) I know its the hardest thing to quit. – Lily

Maura doesn’t know. It makes sense that LE would take a sample of wall-to-wall carpeting for fiber comparison, but I’ve never heard anything about a piece being cut from Casey’s bedroom floor. I don’t recall reading anything in the discovery about a carpet sample from anywhere in the house being cut and removed.
IIRC, a piece of the trunk liner was cut and sent to a forensic lab (Oak Ridge or FBI).
The last inside-the-house interview was around November 21. No reporters have been inside since the remains were found, so we wouldn’t have seen any shots of the bedroom with a missing piece of carpet. And if they did take a piece, I don’t believe they would have taken it from an area that would be obvious. If they just needed the fibers, they would have cut a piece out of the closet floor, for instance.
Sorry can’t help! I couldn’t say LE never took a carpet sample from the house, but if they did, I don’t know about it.
This one is dedicated to my friend Kleat, who has been looking for the “not guilty” statement vs. “innocent”. Enjoy:
Excerpt:
“My client has told me she’s not guilty, and I’m working hard and doing everything that I can as her legal counsel to put the state to its burden,” Baez said.
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2009/09/casey-anthony-jose-baez-says-ethics-allegations-motivate-him-to-fight-harder-for-client-who-says-she.html
Maybe I’m too cynical, but today I am analyzing this news item in a different light. Is this subterfuge in order to remove suspicions about earlier communications via the laptop, passed letters, or directives about the “dump site”? In other words, they know nothing because they were “cut off”. My apologies if this sounds ridiculous.
What does everyone make of this?
http://www.wesh.com/news/20672110/detail.html
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orange County Jail said Tuesday that its re-emphasis on the ban for lawyers bringing personal letters into the jail has nothing to do with Casey Anthony’s attorney.
Administrators have posted a sign strongly reminding lawyers visiting the facility that it is a felony to bring in contraband items, including personal letters.
Brad Conway, the attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, confirmed that Baez has a standing policy of controlling letters going between Casey Anthony and her family. Conway said his clients are cut off from their daughter.
Conway said the Anthonys are breaking that agreement and will begin mailing letters directly to their daughter. Conway said that defense team member Andrea Lyon agrees that the Anthonys should be able to have a video visit with Casey Anthony.

I couldn’t find any new updates on Haleigh Cummings, so I didn’t know where to post. But did you hear the T Miller interview about Ronald? Whew!

396 Kleat LKB the Bearded Lady, oh sorry the bearded lady is in Freak Shows not a circus…my bad
blink
are you going to post anything new on regarding Haliegh, just asking…thanks
sorry for going off subject, just been reading and researching a lot these last few days and would love to hear from you and your crew on the subject.
Unfortunately, I am not feeling their is anything new. I already knew Misty was lying, and to my knowledge so does everyone else. We await her talking and telling the truth, not to oversimplify..
B
Maybe Lyon is taking the approach that since her client is not guilty, there is no reason to restrict communication, and also, it humanizes Casey to show a bond with her family? Maybe it is a ‘concession’ so that she can get more info from Cindy & George in terms of background family history, in return?
I have to say, it really did look bad for all involved that they cut off contact.
Kleat
My last post was written before I saw yours.
I think the “hits” in the backyard were from KC hosing herself off after she threw her precious daughter in the muck in the woods.

according to the NG show aired on 8/28/09, Misty Croslin Cumming “has an attorney, Robert Fields.” (see excerpt below)
8/28/09 (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0908/28/ng.01.html):
“CROSLIN: I`m trying to do everything to find her, you know, answer any questions I have to because I know I didn`t do anything with — to that little girl. I would never hurt her. I mean, they love me. I mean, they look at me like their mom, you know? They — you ask little Junior. He`ll tell you, you know? They talk lovely (ph) about me. And I`m so good to them kids.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, it`s my understanding that the waiver stated that she is waiving — that she has an attorney, Robert Fields, and that she is waiving — she`s going against my wishes, actually. It`s my understanding — it was against my wishes — something to the effect of she wanted to prove herself innocent or something.”
(from the context of the transcript, I think the ‘unidentified male’ speaking is Tim Miller, but don’t hold me to it)
however, on the NG show aired on 9/1/09, NeJame claims she’s not represented.(see excerpt below)
9/1/09 (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0909/01/ng.01.html):
“GRACE: Thank you, Julie in Kentucky.
JULIE: My question is that I don`t understand why she has so many consistencies with her story. What in the world would possess him to marry her?
GRACE: Well..
JULIE: Is he trying to cover something for her? Is he trying to help her?
GRACE: Well, I can tell you this much. Many people think that if you marry then you can`t testify against each other, which is typically true, but in Florida, they have an exception to the husband-wife privilege. If a — harm to a child is the criminal charge, there is no husband-wife privilege. So if that was your motivation, it failed miserably.
And I want to follow up on something. To Mark Nejame, in her story, at some point, she says up to four people were in the home that night. That`s an entirely new story. Who were the four people?
NEJAME: Can`t answer that. All that I know is that.
GRACE: Do you know — you won`t answer or you don`t know?
NEJAME: No, I don`t know. I can tell you, though, if I could relate real quick back to what her lawyer has said. We were told with witnesses that she did not have a lawyer. So for her to now maintained that she had a lawyer, and we knew that she had a lawyer, absolutely untrue.”
so, which is it? does anyone know for certain?
IMO regarding the sudden ‘story’ in the media about the Anthony’s ‘poor us parents . . . we haven’t been allowed to see or write to our daughter for 3 months . . . her attorney won’t let us . . . boo hoo . . .sniff sniff’ is a total cover story because the defense team knows how AWFUL it looks that there has been absolutely no contact from family.
Casey refuses to face her parents and will not allow visits.
Someone on the defense came up with this tall tale. Its actually quite brilliant.
Mr. Baez has control of correspondence. Cindy says no. Lyons think it’s a good idea to video. Hmmm. Something smells in the dream team power house. The house of cards will begin to crumble.
thanks blink for the response, I await as well, I feel a storm is a comin….hopefully GREAT Work!
If geo and cin really want to send her letters, they can buy some stamps and mail them. The dispute is that Baez won’t deliver the letters, not that they can’t send her a letter & have it read 1st by jail personnel. So the issue is about confidentiality, not communication. So, what confidential stuff do they want to tell her, and is baez reading their letters like i would?
wsh, that’s for that quote– ‘my client says she is innocent’…. is quite different from what ToddMacs said, Linka K-B and Baez previously. It’s been very clear that Baez did not believe his client from early on, and his actions about controlling letters (we heard from Lee early on, as what Baez could do– warning Casey), Baez has repeated by his actions over and over, he KNOWS that he has not got an ‘innocent’ client. Put the state to its burden YES, but to claim ‘innocent’ might put extra burden on the defence to go the extra distance to keep up with the ‘innocent’ claim vs ‘not guilty’. Why put that burden on client– Ms. Lyon says it’s got to be well thought through before doing that, and they are over a year from trial yet and have been saying this ‘innocent’ thing since at least Linda K-B’s intro many months ago.
Did anyone notice what happened as court was over and Casey got up to leave the table and turn around– Todd stood up, as did Ms. Lyon’s assistant, and thought it was surely not intentional on the ‘guest’ assistant, Todd was right between Casey and her parents. He completely ignored Casey’s possible need to make eye contact with her mother and minimally that was rude, but have to wonder if it might have also been strategic. The mother could not see her daughter face to face, no matter how she tried to get a view around Mt. Todd.
Ms. Lyon seemed oblivious to this, but I wouldn’t buy that for a second as she too, seemed to ignore her own lecture, of the need for family support for the client so why blocking the view– unless they were worried about Casey losing it and saying something she should not. If a client in this position were to be on the verge of calling out to a parent– ‘I’m sorry!, it could mean a lot of things other than ‘I’m guilty’, but it would take some explaining.
I’d think that hearing ‘the remains’ from ToddyMacs and the ‘innocent’ claim must have struck home with the parents, who know better. Hearing repeatedly, that Casey is facing death, we are ‘trying’ to save Ms. Anthony’s life, in the courtroom, must also have hit home hard for them. They know what she is facing, but that’s the first time it’s been so forcefully stated in the courtroom and in front of the parents.
Maybe they NEED to let Casey know their true feelings, uncensored by the Baez patrol. Maybe they want to plead with her to tell the truth, that they want to save her. Baez has seemingly controlled all of their letters to Casey, maybe they write and scan the letters, which he can then edit and show to Casey on his laptop, which is not contraband, and then take a letter out of the jail in return, next visit.
Isolating a client from support of family, keeps Casey in line tightly, with what Baez and her defense want of her– to keep up the innocent stand. (Ms. Lyon seems to be the odd-lawyer out, or hypocritical– I think the former for now)
Thanks, Kleat.
Lily, the ironic thing is I quit smoking five years before I was diagnosed with lung ca!!! I’m not even fifty yet so that’s pretty young, but it’s like there’s a cancer epidemic right now. I was extremely lucky.
I’m so sorry to hear of your dad. Very best wishes for your mom.
Blink, do you think Baez is conducting himself in a manner such as what he’s doing, in an attempt to either have an outcome of a mistrial, or a way for Casey to declare “insufficient council”? And if so, will he be successful? Why do you personally think he’s pulling all these stunts?
I wil defer my professional and highly researched answer for now.
SO
My glib answer is that he acts this way because he was last kid picked for dodgeball and the first one out every game.
B
Thank you Maura! “If Maura don’t know, it ain’t so.”
That’s my new motto for today.
While Angela was working on Casey’s room she discovered two photo’s showing the placement of Casey’s bed. One was before the Greta visit. The bed is in a different spot than prior to Greta visiting in the first photo. Then after Greta’s filming it is moved back to the old spot. Greta specifically asks Cindy if this is how the room has always been.
Angela opened the site to let us in to get a feel of how to move around, visit the scenes,ect. She is off on another private area getting the whole scene as realistic as she can. She will move that over as she finishes each scene.
She has set up the room with buttons to push to move the bed as it was in the Greta filming.
There is info on the vrhacks forum (that is to communicate about Second Life and how to do things) about audio. Angela has set up audio you can listen to of important aspects of the case. Really let’s you be at the scene and lets you hear through your headsets the reality spoken in “their” own words. And she is setting up the TV’s to play things pertinent to the case.
The moving of the bed leads us to wonder if perhaps the body had been under the bed at one time…..
Thanks Maura!
Also, if Casey does end up pointing to George and Casey, how do you think the A’s will react to all of a sudden their wonderful daughter throwing them under the bus? Will that be the move that makes George and Cindy wake up and realize Casey is exploiting them, and in the end, finally giving the truth up?
Bee’s I am sending you a big hug. When you posted here at Blink’s you sort of grabbed us Blinkers. We so looked forward to you coming and then, for some danged reason, you became someone we HAD to get to Second Life. I think we had an idea you might just be one special person, because we all had a special feeling for this unknown “Bees Knees”. I kid you not.
Kleat, the only smoking allowed is the campfire in our secret cornfield. But, it is amazing what you might find in the cornfield.
WSH, the minute I read that about the “new sign up at the jail” I thought of Cindy’s probably behind that. She’d be just the one to maybe start something….
http://www.wftv.com/video/18206288/index.html
Early indications (somewhere around 4 mins) that Baez has told Casey and that the parents know too, by this Jail visit of July 30, 2008, that they are NOT to talk about the case.
(Cindy begins to say “Is there any… is there any…” and Casey cuts her off by saying “Mom, we can’t….”
Cindy says “No No No… ” and goes on to say she was going to ask Casey if there was anything she wanted her to tell Caylee through the media”.
This jail conversation also is telling a few other things too, how the relationship is with Shirley has suffered, they can’t talk to her now, and later in the video, George talks about how Grandpa Anthony is not well, has has some episodes, and how this has all been hard on them.
And they talk about the need of family support etc… now, over 13 months later, Casey has not seen or spoken with her parents, unless Baez could do it via laptop in his visits, and the letters through the Baez Secret communications watchdogs with black felt pens.
There is a chink in the defense armour showing– what happens when a client can not speak to anyone but the lawyer about the lawyer’s work/quality. The client’s parents can do nothing for an adult child to change her representation, Baez surely controlled them discussing his quality of work or her feelings about how well he was doing for her or how another lawyer, more experienced, might give other options to the client.
This, poor advice, poor representation, is a huge problem for clients never been in a situation before, from an elderly person who has never even heard the term litigation before, even in a civil matter, they can be ‘led down the garden path’ by a lawyer who decides to go outside of his or her knowledge and abilities, for their own purposes after decades not using their law degree and coming back to the field to do litigation, taking clients who do not know better into litigation vs mediation, clients who would never survive the process but don’t know that it can do them in physically, all based on outdated law and bad judgement. No way for a client, who has no experience with lawyers, to know to get other advice, but from family or friends– sometimes a client NEEDS a second opinion, to save their life, whether for family law, or for a capital case– the loss can be the same in the end– loss of life.
ive had an ear infection,pain and sleep,maura thanks for all the answers to earlier questions,ive been reading.one more;where is the very first reference to the blanchard park incident,is that available?was it casey.lee or cindy who first told that story? cuz, could it be the(a) fight between cindy and casey just relocated to bpark?could casey be wanting to claim cindy did assault her and take caylee from her?
kleat the potty training thing stuck out to me too,but i guess if you tug- along- a- tot to your friends apartments ,having to be on diaper alert is alot different than not having to be on diaper alert,for the friends sake too.So i am sure she is mentioning this cuz she wants it to hurry up and happen already(not being a mom,i’m sure you moms could add to this),Also on same note (watched misty’s tests),if haleigh was beaten to death, it was for wetting the bed.
http://www.memphisparent.com/2008/09/when-parents-lose-control
I have a real concern over Baez’s control of Casey’s mail and connection with her family. To me it seems he purposely isolated her from her family in order to control all information she was receiving.
I remember at the beginning of the case Lee’s concerns about not being able to trust Baez. I have to wonder what kind of repercussions could arise if there is a guilty verdict. Baez hand picked all the other members of the legal team including Lyon who is only available one or two days a week. I think everything Baez has done has been done to secure his place as lead attorney and control this trial to keep his name out there. We have no real way of knowing what information Baez may have kept from Casey and if would have had some different outcome for the case.
