 A History of Strange Claims 
 
 It has been nearly five years since Casey Anthony was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. Although she has lived a relatively quiet life since being freed from jail, her name still evokes controversy.In an affidavit filed in her bankruptcy case last month, her former private investigator, Dominic Casey, levels some serious accusations about Anthony and her former attorney, Jose Baez.In the 15-page affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, Dominic Casey alleges that Anthony had a sexual relationship with her attorney before the case went to trial. He claims that he witnessed "a naked Casey" when he arrived at Baez's office unexpectedly.In the documents, he also alleges that Baez "told me that Casey had murdered Caylee and dumped the body somewhere and, he needed all the help he could get to find the body before anyone else did."In a statement to PEOPLE, Baez disputes all Dominic Casey's allegations. "I unequivocally and categorically deny exchanging sex for my legal services with Ms. Anthony," he writes. "I further unequivocally and categorically deny having any sexual relationship with Ms. Anthony whatsoever.""I have always conducted my practice consistent with the high ethical standards required of members of the Florida Bar," he continues. "My representation of Ms. Anthony was no exception.""Legal action is forthcoming," Baez writes.This isn't the first time that Dominic Casey's claims have raised eyebrows.In a 2011 deposition obtained by PEOPLE, the investigator floats several theories about the Caylee's disappearance and death, and even says that he wasn't entirely sure that the remains found near Anthony's house were the 2-year-old.In his statement, Baez references Dominic Casey's former claims. "This libelous claim is in line with many other outrageous claims and theories that this individual has advanced regarding the Casey Anthony case," the statement says.Dominic Casey did not return PEOPLE's messages for comment. ||||| Five years after Casey Anthony was acquitted of murdering her daughter, a civil lawsuit connected to the scandal is still grinding through Central Florida bankruptcy court, with new developments this week. 
 
 The man who found Caylee Marie Anthony's body in 2008 – Roy Kronk – filed a suit against Anthony in 2011, alleging that she, through her attorneys, falsely accused Kronk of killing the girl. 
 
 The new filings in the case feature allegations made by private investigator Dominic Casey about Anthony and Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez. 
 
 Dominic Casey this week alleged that Anthony and her attorneys talked openly of her guilt, and that Baez had sex with her, according to Dominic Casey's affidavit written by the investigator and accepted by the court. 
 
 An attorney in Baez' office, responding to questions raised by the Sentinel, said in an email that Baez questioned Dominic Casey's motivations in making the accusations. 
 
 "I unequivocally and categorically deny exchanging sex for my legal services with Ms. Anthony," said a statement from Baez's firm. 
 
 Dominic Casey has written two books with unsubstantiated claims about the case. Lawyers for Casey Anthony don't want him to provide testimony in the Kronk case, according to documents filed in the case. 
 
 Dominic Casey has been deposed by Kronk's attorneys and a transcript of that was filed on the court docket. Casey Anthony's lawyers have filed motions to strike Dominic Casey's deposition. They are also demanding to see records he claims to have. 
 
 Kronk's case was delayed when Anthony filed for bankruptcy in 2013, but eventually it was moved over to the bankruptcy court, where Kronk is now arguing that her bankruptcy should not prevent him from recovering damages related to his claim of defamation.

 pbrinkmann@tribune.com ||||| SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — Casey Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, is firing back at court documents containing testimony from former private investigator Dominic Casey. 
 
 In a cease and desist letter to WFLA News Channel 8, Baez Law Firm said, “As you are aware, this information comes from an attention seeking, delusional individual, with a history of making false and outrageous claims, not only to court officials, but to the media.” 
 
 Dominic Casey is the private investigator who worked for Casey Anthony’s defense team. Dominic claims that Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, told him that Anthony had murdered her daughter Caylee and dumped the body. 
 
 Two affidavits from private investigator Dominic Casey were included in documents filed in Orlando U.S. Bankruptcy Court in April of 2016. The documents are part of Casey Anthony’s bankruptcy case. 
 
 Dominic Casey’s affidavits said in July of 2008, the Baez Law Firm hired him to work with Casey Anthony’s defense team. 
 
 Anthony was accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, who Casey had reported missing. Caylee’s remains were found by meter reader Roy Kronk in a wooded area near the Anthony family’s home in December of 2008. In July of 2011, Casey Anthony was acquitted in the murder of Caylee. 
 
 Dominic Casey said in one of the affidavits that during the publicity in the missing child case, Casey Anthony became aware of the telephone calls made to police by Roy Kronk in August of 2008. The phone calls indicated that Kronk may have located the remains of Caylee Anthony. 
 
 “She (Casey Anthony) told me at that time, ‘Caylee is not coming home, they need to get used to that’,” said Dominic Casey in the affidavit. 
 
 Dominic Casey also claimed that Casey Anthony suggested that Roy Kronk should be implicated in Caylee’s disappearance. 
 
 “In October 2008, just prior to the remains being found, Casey Anthony told me that when Caylee came up missing, the back gate was left ajar. Since Roy Kronk was a meter reader for the house, maybe ‘we could say Roy Kronk kidnapped Caylee’,” said Dominic Casey in the affidavit. 
 
 Dominic Casey went on to say the following in the affidavit: 
 
 “Based on my personal knowledge of the events and statements I personally heard from Casey Anthony she authorized and permitted her attorneys including, Jose Baez to make false statements about Roy Kronk to portray him as a murderer and or kidnapper of Caylee Anthony.” 
 
 A second Dominic Casey affidavit makes more shocking claims. 
 
 Dominic Casey said that he was hired by Jose Baez within two weeks of Casey Anthony’s July 16, 2008 arrest. He said the following in the affidavit: 
 
 “Saturday, July 26, 2008, Baez had told me that Casey had murdered Caylee and dumped the body somewhere and, he needed all the help he could get to find the body before anyone else did.” 
 
 Dominic Casey said that he met Casey Anthony at the jail and there was no doubt that she had psychological issues, but Jose Baez refused to have her evaluated by a psychological professional. 
 
 Dominic Casey said that Casey Anthony signed over both her and Caylee’s intellectual property rights “life rights” to Jose Baez, which were licensed to him exclusively. Another agreement required Casey Anthony to provide Baez with an extensive library of photographs, videos and other items that he could sell. 
 
 Dominic Casey said in the affidavit that in August of 2008, he presented evidence to Baez suggesting there could have been an accident and Caylee drowned in the backyard pool, and the accident snowballed out of control, Casey panicked and dumped Caylee’s body. 
 
 In the affidavit, Dominic Casey said that one of Casey Anthony’s high school friends called the sheriff’s office and told them that she and Casey Anthony and other friends used to hang out on Suburban Drive when they were teens. The high school friend said that because this was a familiar place for Casey Anthony, she may have buried Caylee there. 
 
 Dominic Casey said in the affidavit that on August 12, 2008, the State Attorney offered limited immunity for Casey Anthony in exchange for information regrading Caylee. Casey Anthony wanted to accept the plea deal. Baez told her to wait until he returned from New York and would be able to bond her out of jail. 
 
 In the affidavit, Dominic Casey also claims that a convicted drug trafficker and money launderer for Mexican drug lord “El Chapo” put up the money for Casey Anthony’s defense and also contributed $200,000 reward money and $500,000 to pay for her second bail bond. 
 
 Dominic Casey also claimed that Baez and Casey Anthony were having sex. He said in the affidavit that Casey Anthony asked Baez to cancel a TV interview, which he did and afterward said that Anthony owed him sex for it. 
 
 Dominic Casey went on to say, 
 
 “Within two weeks, the misconduct between Casey and Jose Baez had escalated. I arrived at Baez’s office unexpectedly one day and once again, witnessed a naked Casey. This time she ran from his private office, through the conference room to the hallway. That night I told her that she cannot allow him to continue engaging in this behavior. Casey told me she had to do what Jose said because she had no money for her defense.” 
 
 Dominic Casey said he quit working for Jose Baez and the Baez Law Firm on October 1, 2008. 
 
 Casey Anthony has kept a low profile since she was acquitted in her daughter’s murder. She recently filed documents to open a photography business. 
 
 Prosecutors in her murder trial recently spoke out about the case.

 WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON RIGHT NOW:
– The allegations were both graphic and specific and, says Jose Baez, completely untrue. Private investigator Dominic Casey alleged in just-revealed court documents filed earlier this year in connection with a bankruptcy case that, among other things, Casey Anthony offered sex to Baez, her lawyer, in exchange for his legal services. Dominic Casey worked with Anthony's defense team after she was accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008, and he alleged that after Baez got Anthony out of a September 2008 TV interview she didn't want to do, Baez "said to [Anthony], 'You now owe me 3 blow jobs.'" Dominic Casey also claimed he encountered a "naked" Anthony during an unannounced visit to Baez's office. Baez "unequivocally and categorically deny exchanging sex for my legal services with Ms. Anthony," he says in a statement to People. "I further unequivocally and categorically deny having any sexual relationship with Ms. Anthony whatsoever." Baez referred to but did not detail other "outrageous" claims put forth by the PI; People points to a 2011 deposition in which Dominic Casey suggested Caylee's remains perhaps weren't actually Caylee's as a past "eyebrow-raising" allegation. The Orlando Sentinel notes Dominic Casey has written two books on the case that feature "unsubstantiated claims," and reports that Baez and his team have been trying to have a deposition Dominic Casey gave in the bankruptcy case excluded. Baez also suggests he may sue, writing, "Legal action is forthcoming."
