Records show Casey Anthony is starting investigation firm
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — State records show that Casey Anthony has filed documents to start a private investigation firm in South Florida.
Anthony, who was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, nine years ago, filed the paperwork with the Florida Division of Corporations in mid-December.
The limited liability company, Case Research & Consulting Services, has an effective date of Jan. 1, according to state records.
The address listed for the company belongs to Patrick McKenna, according to Palm Beach County property records.
McKenna was the lead investigator on Anthony’s defense team during her 2011 trial.
In a 2017 interview, Anthony told The Associated Press that she had been working for McKenna doing online social media searches and other investigative work. McKenna was also the lead investigator for O.J. Simpson, when he was accused of killing his wife and acquitted.
Anthony was acquitted of her daughter's murder and charges of aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child. But she was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
Anthony's circus-like trial was carried live on cable networks and was the focus of daily commentaries by HLN’s Nancy Grace, who called her “the most hated mom in America,” and, derisively, “tot mom.”
Dailymail.com was the first news outlet to report about Anthony's new business.
