Will the Caylee Anthony case ever be solved?
“We’ll never know what happened until the perpetrator states what happened,” Dr. Jan Garavaglia told NBC’s “Today” this morning.
Garavaglia, the chief medical examiner for Orange and Osceola counties, promoted ”Dr. G: Inside the Caylee Anthony Case,” which debuts at 8 p.m. Sunday on TLC. The new season of “Dr. G: Medical Examiner” starts at 10 p.m. Friday on Discovery Fit & Health.
On “Today,” Savannah Guthrie wanted to know if Garavaglia could say that Casey Anthony killed her 2-year-old daughter. “My job is not to determine who did it,” Garavaglia said. “My job is to determine what happened. So I feel very strongly that we could say this was a homicide.”
In July, Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder in the death of her daughter.
Garavaglia repeated that her job was not to point a finger in the case, but she noted that Casey Anthony was the last person with Caylee and was responsible for the child. “We never did get anything from her of what happened, yet we found her with duct tape discarded in the woods,” Garavaglia said. “That tells a lot.”
Garavaglia dismissed complaints that she might be making money off the Anthony special, saying she is donating any money she receives to children’s charities. She said she was doing the special to explain forensics in the case at length and get beyond sound bites.
