A shroud of mystery has surrounded Todd Black - the camera-shy PR man for Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez. Now, a press release from Black's company admits that he's not who he says he is.

Who is Todd Black? Recently, stories have surfaced that a former FBI agent recognized Black's voice as that of convicted felon Gil Cabot (pictured), who spent time in jail for trying to extort money from Entertainment Tonight anchor Jann Carl in the 1980's.

Immediately afterward, a flurry of press releases from Black's company Press Corps Media denied it was so, but did say Cabot once owned the company and stayed on as a consultant. They also explained that Todd Black was a quote "security name" that several people used.

But today the admission finally came - Gil Cabot really is Todd Black, or at least one of them. It's unclear what it means to the Anthony case that a convicted felon using a false name is the defense's media rep.

What others are saying

  • Todd Black - Gil cabot
    Todd Black is exactly who many have previously thought he was. Some have actually stated that Black was Gil Cabot a while ago. Some real interesting reads into the identity of Black-Cabot.
