Evidence shows Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, knew Caylee Anthony’s death was ritualistic.
When Casey Anthony was acquitted on July 5, 2011 Baez mentioned “ritual killing” in his statement to the media.
“Murder’s not right no matter who does it whether it’s a ritual killing or someone becoming a victim in a drive-by shooting,” Baez said.
Rev. Richard Grund, an admitted (former) Satanist and father of Casey Anthony’s former fiancé Jesse Grund, knew Baez was referring specifically to him.
Write Into Action spoke with Rev. Grund and his private investigator William Staubs (a.k.a. Cobra) following the not guilty verdict.

Timothy Holmseth: It’s also strange that, god-dang-it, I just forgot what I was going to say; there was one other; oh; that Baez felt it necessary to make that comment about a ritualistic killing.
Richard Grund: Oh you caught that didn’t you? You caught that?
Timothy Holmseth: Well, Cobra caught it. He pointed it out to me.
Richard Grund: He took a shot at me and that was – okay, you’re arrogant right now - you think I can’t get you – he took a shot at me - okay you want to go there, let’s go there.

Grund vowed revenge.
“We’re going to the mattresses. I don’t know if you know what that means. That’s what we’re doing. I’m throwing down the gauntlet. Baez knows I’m coming for him. He took a shot at me at his press conference – that’s fine. He’s really arrogant right now. He’s going down. The Anthony’s are going down. This is coming out,” Grund said.
Evidence shows the true facts and circumstances of the Casey Anthony murder trial and little Caylee’s deaths were kept hidden behind the scenes by State prosecutors and defense lawyers alike.
There were deep dark secrets being guarded.
Grund said there was a plot to plant DNA evidence on Caylee’s body before it was found that would implicate his son Jesse Grund.

Richard Grund said Baez knew about the plot, and that he confronted Baez about it during a deposition with Baez’s co-counsel Cheney Mason.
The assertion by Richard Grund of a plot to plant DNA evidence shows the whereabouts of Caylee’s body was known by select individuals long before it was finally recovered by law enforcement.
Jim Hoover, a private investigator that worked alongside Baez’s private investigator, PI Casey, said PI Casey told him Lee Anthony traveled to Atlanta to surreptitiously obtain DNA from Jesse Grund.
This wasn't the first time an assertion about secretly aquiring DNA for purposes of planting on Caylee's body, were made. Richard Grund told Write Into Action (Timothy Charles Holmseth) that Casey Anthony had a plan to obtain semen and pubic hair from Jesse Grund by luring him into the shower with her.
During a conference call between PI Staubs, PI Hoover, and investigative journalist Timothy Holmseth, the following exchange took place:

WILLIAM STAUBS: [On September 29, 2008] “is when (Lee Anthony) arrived in Atlanta attempting to get DNA and fingerprints from Jesse (Grund).
JIM HOOVER: For Jesse - oh yeah I knew all about that I knew he was going up there.
WILLIAM STAUBS: Who sent him? That’s what I want to know. By whose directive did it come from?
JIM HOOVER: Well, I’ll tell you who told me. I think – well – let me see – Dominic told me about it – let me think - I think Cindy sent him – I’m pretty sure Cindy sent him - as a matter of fact yeah I’m sure of it – because yeah, Cindy sent him up there.”

PI Hoover said PI Casey told him about it on the same day Lee Anthony left for Atlanta to do it.
* * * * *
JIM HOOVER: “[Dominic] said you won’t believe this crap. I said so what’s going on? He said Lee’s on the way to Atlanta. I said for what? And oh we sent him up there to get DNA from Jesse Grund. I said why?”
* * * * *
PI Hoover said PI Casey told him the DNA was to see if Caylee Anthony was Jesse Grund’s biological child. He said PI Casey suggested Jesse Grund wanted Caylee dead so he wouldn’t have to pay “child support”.

JIM HOOVER: “Dominic lied to me because Dominic said they were going up there to get DNA oh, that lying son-of-a-bitch, I just realized this; he told me they were going up to get DNA to prove Jesse was the father and he was the reason that Caylee died.”
* * * * *
The paternity angle for obtaining DNA from Jesse Grund does not hold water because it was already established through proper and up-front medical procedures Jesse Grund was not Caylee’s father.
“Jesse Grund had more of a reason to kill Caylee than Casey,” Hoover said, recalling what PI Casey told him.
* * * * *
STAUBS: “Richard seemed to think that we heard or we were under the impression that Lee was going to get DNA because he already knew where the body was and they were going to sprinkle, spread, or place Jesse’s DNA on that bag or on that body.”
HOOVER: Wow. Yeah I didn’t hear that but it’s a possibility.
* * * * *
Hoover said PI Casey lied about how many times he went into the wooded area where Caylee’s body was thought to be.

HOOVER: “Dominic lied about something else. He said he only went in the woods, well he said three times. Twice with me and once by himself. That’s not true. He went in twice by himself. He went on the 17th and 18th he said at Cindy’s orders. And she lied to the police about telling Dominic to go in there.
ASSORTED SEXUAL AFFAIRS
The conduct of everyone involved shows Caylee Anthony was not the true focus.
Hoover said PI Casey and Cindy Anthony were clearly involved in a physical relationship. He said PI Casey would sit with his arm around Cindy Anthony in public and rub her about her breast. He said they would leave alone together in a car and then call later saying they had gotten "lost".
Hoover said that after Caylee’s body was found, George Anthony wanted PI Casey to leave their home but he still hung around and Cindy was like a “dog in heat”.
In 2016, PI Casey, stated in an affidavit that Baez exchanged legal services for sexual favors from Casey Anthony. He said he once saw Casey run from the room naked when he came in and caught them together. He said Baez once commented he was owed “three blow jobs”.
