The Orange County Sheriffs Office has confirmed that Casey Anthony was secretly videotaped as she learned of the discovery of Caylee's body in a wooded area near her home.

The remains would not be identified as Caylee's for another week, but when Casey Anthony found out on December 11th that they'd been discovered, she doubled over twice, appeared to hyperventilate, and asked for medication, according to discovery documents released earlier this week. Now Deputy Sheriff Carlos Padilla confirms the rumor that Casey's reaction was videotaped.

"There was a concern, obviously, they wanted to make sure she was monitored upon receiving the news," says Padilla. "It's my understanding that there is a videotape. However, that's part of the ongoing investigation."

That means it won't be released until detectives turn it over to the State Attorney's Office, then they decide to let it out. Padilla says he doesn't know who broke the news to Casey, but she was taken to a nurse's station before being informed.

Casey's defense team has responded to the revelation of the videotape. "It's outrageous and cruel that they were standing by to record her emotions," states Baez Law Firm media rep Marti Mackenzie. "I call this latest a 'tape and release' strategy that the Sheriff's Department has used since Casey was first arrested," continues Mackenzie. "There can be no other motive that I see than it's an attempt to influence viewers and readers following the case that Casey's reactions are not normal for someone who's lost a child."

What others are saying

  • CASEY's Reaction & Will Casey Be Found Guilty??
    Casey Should Be Guilty for what she did to innocent Angel Caylee..
    This is what Makes her Guilty..
    1. Partying While Her Daughter is Missing..
    2. Showing NO EMOTIONS AT ALL..
    3. Stealing from her Parents and Friends
    4. Lying to Authorities, Her Parents and Putting the Blame on A Nanny That Doesn't Exist..
    5. Her Looking Up Chloraform and Neck Breaking on Her Computer..
    6. Also All The Evidence Against her that we probably haven't heard about yet..

    They Should Also Release the Tape Of Her Reactions In Jail when Caylee or Should say when the Remains were discovered as it wasn't identified to be Caylee until after her Reaction..
    Her Reaction Tells You She Knew That they Had Finally Found Caylee..

    CASEY ANTHONY IS GUILTY FOR LIFE AND LETS PRAY FOR JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE...
  • Casey's reaction
    She is such a drama queen and needs to be sent to s state facility. Everyone gets videoed in sick bay not just special baby killers. Her defense needs to get over it. That is the way FL law is, the public gets a view. Maybe she should have killed her child in a another state if she did not want the tape to be seen.
  • Reaction of Cayce when told about Caylee remains
    Maybe, she will crack after while and tell the truth, all thing are possible
  • hmmmm
    I think Lee is the daddy. Why else would he refuse to offer up his dna? Either he is guilty of helping her in some manner, or he's the daddy. Also, Cay-lee is their names combined. Casey surely would have applied for social security benefits $$$$! She wouldn't have to steal that, it would have been guaranteed $$$$.

    Her defense claims that we will all hear the truth at trial and they will prove her innocence! Are they serious? Tell the police right now. If they could prove her innocence she wouldn't be sittin over on 33rd Street and the "real" child murderer would be sought.

    The fight that Casey and Cindy had is what pushed Casey over the edge. Casey was tired of her mom being right. Casey did need to grow up and become responsible. So when she got caught stealing from Cindy's parents, I can only imagine the words exchanged. Caylee was the only power Casey had over Cindy. Read their myspace postings from july 3rd and 7th. Wow! They say a lot about them as individuals and highlights their mother/daughter relationship. I was completly spooked by Casey's.
    Twisted as it sounds, Casey was empowered by what she did. She was free. Free from Caylee and her mother. Free to start a new life. Hence the partying, the tattoo, the myspace posting, the everything. I feel that Casey surely knew what she did and why she did it. She really believed that she won.
  • here's one for you,,,,,,,
    I have been convinced from the beginning of this nightmare, and am still convinced that.......think about this, GEORGE ANTHONY is the Father/Grandfather of Li'l Caylee Marie Anthony.
  • Can't Wait to See This Video!!
    The only reason that she doubled over and hyperventilated was because Casey had learned her own fate! They found the Little Snot!
  • Enlighten Us...PLEASE!
    If she is waiting for some special moment to tell us what really happened, it won't come. If she's innocent she just has to tell them what really happened. It's already been confirmed that her initial stories are false, so if she still insists she is innocent, please enlighten us! We'd LOVE to hear the real story about what really happened! If that's the case, there's a murderer on the loose in Florida! They need to be caught! Just gotta do what you're supposed to do...tell the truth. The truth will set you free!...If you're really innocent.
  • I dunno...
    Frankly, I firmly believe Casey did it - but I don't think her reaction shows that. Playing the Devil's advocate here - if your child was missing for months and potentially dead, wouldn't you panic if you found out that the remains of a small child around her size were found near your home? I feel like any normal person would hyperventilate. I honestly think that she did it and was scared for herself, but it really says nothing. It is not evidence.
  • String of lies
    Well it’s apparent that Casey is definitely guilty of the death of her daughter in some way, or at least guilty of disposing her body and telling a series of lies that would put down a path that would make it look that she had killed her. I really have to say that I find it hard to believe that Casey had planned to murder Calley. In fact the evidence to me does not show any type of premeditation or intentional murder. The reasons I say this is because if she had planned to murder her daughter and wanted to get away with it do you really think she would have been so carless in the way that she did it. First of all and most importantly is the fact that she waited a month to say Calley was missing. Now anyone that planned to do this would not wait a month and then say something, they would have immediately called police and said that there child had been abducted. Second of all, why in the hell would she just throw her daughter’s body in the woods a mile down the road from her house if she had planned this? Third of all do you think she would have transported her daughters decaying body in her own car and then abandon it for the police to find with the smell of death in it. Finally do you think she would have used all the things she did to dispose of the body from her own house and then write such incriminating things in her diary if this was premeditated murder? I have to say that to me it appears that either she accidently killed her daughter or something else happened to her, such as the theory that she drowned and Casey being young and stupid got scared and tried to hide what happened, and when finally having to admit something was wrong with Calley she stared a string of lies because that’s what people do when young and scared. I do believe that Casey should behind bars and had something to do with the whole thing, but I could never convict her of Capital Murder. The evidence just does not show premeditation. I think Casey just needs to come clean and stop telling all these lies or else she could very well be found guilty of Capital Murder in the end.
  • Casey
    Well, if she didn't do it who did?
    Zannie??? I have heard teenagers call Xanex by this name!
  • Casey's Reaction to remains discovery...
    I'm not overly concerned with how Casey appears in the video regarding her reaction to being told the remains were indeed those of Caylee. In fact, I'm not overly concerned with any of the jailhouse videos. The circumstantial and scientific evidence tells me all I need to know to come to what I feel is a more than obvious conclusion. I believe the prosecution has more than enough evidence to solidify a first-degree murder conviction.

    On another note, I wonder if all of Caylee's shoes have been accounted for. If I am not mistaken, shoes are not listed as an item discovered with the remains. Amongst the many pictures just released are pictures of Caylee's shoes neatly put away in an over-the-door shoe organizer as well as several pair neatly lined up on the floor. We know Cindy stated a Winnie The Pooh blanket was missing, but nothing is mentioned in the documentation about shoes missing. This leads me to believe Caylee was indeed killed at home or taken in haste out of the house without her shoes and murdered elsewhere. The latter does not exactly make sense unless Casey brought Caylee back to the house in an attempt to hide her remains there, bailed on that plan and hastily threw her out like garbage. Casey claimed to have received a phone call from Caylee the day prior to her very first arrest. Casey stated Caylee spoke about her book and her shoes. That is a bit of an interesting thought as well, in my opinion anyway.
  • Casey's video
    They were watching her reaction to the news. In previous discoveries that may have been Caylee, there was no reaction other than to ignore it, this time, she did react. This due to fact that she knew where Caylee was dumped and that her wiggling butt had been caught! Now for those who feel she is not treated fair, get over it!!! She surely did not treat her daughter fairly so she deserves nothing at all, no sympathy from anyone, no nothing! Again, get over it!! She did it, bottom line.
  • reaction
    her reaction was exactly that of a guilty baby killer. sure she hyperventilated, over the fact the authorities were getting close to catching up with her.
  • CAUGHT
    I week or so earlier there was supposed bones found and Casey watched with no emotion but this time she broke up even before she found out who it was. Plus the PI was looking around there and couldn't find them so she knew who the bones belonged to.
  • Casey Anthony
    ok, enough people! unless you yourself have been in this same type of case, like casey, than how in the hell can you say anything? plus we all act different to things. had she not showed a public face of being upset, scared or what ever you blood thirsty animals are looking for! then you would say she shows no emotion at all, flat, there for guilty! make up your minds!by the time this goes to trail she will have been found gulty, and fried a 1,000's times over. where is that fair? grow up people. clean your door step b-4 walking on anybody elses!
  • Boo Hoo
    No PRIVACY in Jail who doesnt know this?
    They will and can use anything u do or say against you! I hope she gets the torture she deserves when finally let in to general pop!
  • Enough Rope
    Early on, without having read or heard of the initial Casey interrogation, I was neutral and held that she should be given the benefit of the doubt. Since then, having extensively researched and processed the subsequent interviews, statements and information ON THEIR FACE, my conclusion is that it is an insult to human intelligence to conclude ANYTHING BUT GUILT on the part of Casey Anthony. Whatever is being released these days is nothing more than collateral evidence on top of an already mountainous pile of incrimination - whereby, beginning with her first LIE, Casey, with enough self supplied rope, has virtually insured that the only TRUTH that cannot be argued is the fact that SHE and SHE ALONE is responsible for the death of her daughter Caylee - and is therefore bound to reap the consequences of her actions. There is NO other conclusion that any reasonable person can come to at this point. In essence, it matters not what the "media publicist" for the Baez law firm disseminates. Casey hasn't been fair with the public - and cannot expect anything different from them. - Mac Ambo
  • baez is a huge crybaby.
    oh boo-hoo, casey got videotaped revealing her hand. she's got alot worse coming to her. can't wait to see the tape. can't wait to see casey convicted. hope she's stuck in general population where childkillers like her get what's coming to them. hope the rest of the anthonys get what's coming to them to for protecting this filthy murderer.
  • it was not cruel
    If the detectives did not video tape it= she would have LIED and no one would know how she reacted- that is not cruel- look up the definition Baez! GEE I cant see why he does not realize he needs to shut his mouth too-goodness!
  • casey anthony
    no job - no need for a nanny - no nanny to blame - casey is the only logical person to have murdered caylee - the child did not lock herself in the trunk - the child did not enclose herself in garbage bags - duh
  • WTF
    This is extremley evil... Little Caylee needs to be able to Rest in Peace!!! Her reactions are normal for some one who has lost a child!!! Expecally when she is shown the newscast of them reporting it!!! I mean let Justice be served for what ever happened!!! Which ever way this works out... God bless the Anthony's All Of Them!!!
  • P.R. flak's attempt to spin
    Here's her three comments, each followed by MY response:

    HER: "It is outrageous and cruel that they were standing by to record her emotions," Mackenzie said."

    ME: "Um, are you aware that evaluating a suspect's reaction to key information (especially when a strong reaction indicates that the suspect knows details NOT offered in the LE disclosure) is BASIC police procedure!!!

    HER: "Let's call this the latest in a 'tape and release' strategy that the Sheriff's Office seems to have used since Casey was first arrested."

    ME: Complain to the legislature... the disclosures are mandated by Florida law!!!

    HER: "Even if its not their primary motive, the release of this kind of information has to have an influence on viewers and readers. Just look at the blogs."

    ME: Yeah, it's gonna suck for you and Bozo (to say nothing about Casey!) that most people use their plain common sense to evaluate the facts of the case!
  • Oh please - Biaz & Co.
    Spare us the theatrics. You are a pathetic group of famous wannabes and a bunch of legal hacks hoping to strike it rich off the death of a poor little girl who's only crime was being born to a whacked in the head pile of dung - and as evidenced, the apples don't fall too far from the tree.

    I only with the State of Florida had aimed higher and sought the death penalty.
  • Very smart move to video her
    I can't wait to see it.
