A private investigator who had worked for Casey Anthony’s defense team has claimed her attorney admitted that his client murdered her daughter.

Anthony was found not guilty of first-degree murder and other serious charges against her in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, who had gone missing in Orlando, Florida. She was acquitted in 2011.

But according to a WFLA-TV report on Wednesday, Private investigator Dominic Casey said her lawyer admitted that she killed her daughter and dumped the body.

Two affidavits from Dominic Casey were included in documents that were filed in the Orlando U.S. Bankruptcy Court in April 2016. They are part of Anthony’s bankruptcy case. In July 2008, the Baez Law Firm hired him to work for Casey Anthony’s defense team, the papers show.

Dominic Casey said in one of the affidavits that when Caylee was declared missing, Anthony became aware of phone calls that were made to police by Roy Kronk, a meter reader, in August 2008. The calls indicated he might have found the remains of the girl.
