Casey Anthony defense: Kronk could be killer

The defense team for accused child killer Casey Anthony is pointing to the former meter reader who discovered Caylee Anthony's remains as the person who could be responsible for killing the toddler.

On the same day that Roy Kronk was questioned under oath by the Anthony defense team, lawyers representing the 23 year old filed a motion suggesting Kronk may be the one who killed Caylee. Kronk found Caylee's remains in the woods near the Anthony home last December. He claims he stumbled across them while relieving himself during a break from his shift as an Orange County meter reader.

In an email sent to WDBO, Kronk's lawyer, David Evans, said his client is "a witness not a suspect" and said he has "cooperated fully with law enforcement."

He said Miss Anthony's defense is trying to "find someone to blame other than the person who is charged."

But according to the Orlando Sentinel, the Anthony defense filed motions late Thursday claiming to have evidence that calls into question Kronk's past. It includes a history of inappropriate behavior with young girls; abuse towards women; using duct tape to restrain women; involvement in an imaginary world of violence and fantasy; and evidence that Kronk knew where Caylee's remains were weeks before he reported them.

In the email, Evans said the motions "have no basis in fact." He adds, "[Kronk] vehemently denies the allegations against him and is confident he will be vindicated."

  • Kronk is the hero
    Let's see who has been deemed a suspect?ZFG first and foremost, then it was
    JessieG and his parents, RicardoM,AmyH,KioMarie,TonyL,now RoyK! What would their motive be?
    Why does the Anthony family keep trying to place innocent people as the killers of Caylee. Trying to taint the jury pool, trying to create doubt, trying to discredit the fine work of all law enforcement officials, there is no conspiracy here. I'm sure the fine LE officers of Orange County, Florida checked throughly in RK's life when Caylee's remains were discovered, as they did with all involved. There is no reason RK had, no motive to take a child's life, IMO...they have the correct suspect. It's all on Casey Anthony the one who told two different tales on how Caylee was abducted. First it was when she returned to the apartment at the stairwell in which she dropped off Caylee, was empty. Then it was she was pushed down at JBPark by Zenaida and her sister Samantha, as they took Caylee and handed Casey a script to follow, for 31 days..So which is it?Cindy Anthony told anyone who would listen what a pathological liar and sociopath Casey was and to steer clear of her for she'll empty your bank account. Are we to believe this has changed since her arrest? Doubtful at best. I wish the grandparents would muster up the courage to stand up for the granddaughter they loved so much. They can still support Casey and love her, that I'd expect. They must hold Casey responsible for her actions in a crime as heinous as this. Caylee deserved better, Caylee deserves justice and justice she will receive.
    JMHO
  • Poor Caley...Whiteknight, you are a piece of work.
    I’m a good example of what is wrong with this case. NOPE! Casey is a good example: She failed to report, lied to the police and led them astray etc..Cindy reported a missing child- and along with George reports death odor in car-etc..Now the back track their statement and claim a nonexistent babysitter, since that & ex didn’t work, now fingers are at Kronk etc. Claims of rotting pizza etc..It was George and Cindy all over TV making statements of lies and pointing fingers, while news, morning shows etc..are recording as they run their mouths. Tattoo’s and partying is not what puts someone in jail, it is called not reporting a missing child, lying, stealing and killing that puts someone in jail. That’s what’s wrong. Ashamed? No I am not ashamed, rather the point in my posting is to get facts of this case and YOU stop pointing fingers at so many others when all of the circumstantial evident points to Casey. Mom/Dad already established this at the very beginning while meeting with police, interrogators etc..Casey lied profusely to police.. etc, then killed her very own baby..So ya, I guess I am angry; all about money is what I see and lie to free Casey. The Anthony’s are the haters; angry at the wrong people. Cindy/George/Casey are blood, obviously they are going to defend. If we are so misguided, then tell us what happened? Do you know something we don’t? Come on tell us. You can’t! Poor Caley.
  • Casey Anthony
    to the poster--"Justice for Caley"--
    you are a good example of what is wrong with this case--you said there is something about Cindy that needs to be investigated--you forgot to say for what--but you see that is the problem--the pack of wolves mentality in Orlando is why Casey is sitting in jail now--and why people like you want Cindy investigated--there is no reason-- it is pure media driven hatred and a few clowns who want to boost their ratings.
    Justice for Caylee is not putting Casey in jail--then throwing in the death penalty because the chance of making the charges stick is greater. Justice for Caylee is not served--but Casey was an easy target for blame because she got a tattoo and partied--that must mean shes guilty for sure right?, wrong.
    Justice for Caylee is not trying to trash Cindy (or any other Anthony) just because you can--she has lost her Grand daughter and is now having to deal with her daughter face the death penalty. All of the Anthonys loved Caylee so to the poster "Justice for Caley" you should be ashamed of yourself to even post the comments you did and people like you are the ones trying to create diversions. Casey is innocent and that will be proven. There are millions of us out there that will not stand by and let Casey be thrown to the wolves to satisfy your misguided hatred- so far the people that should be investigated have not been.
  • To Whiteknight
    Anytime I watch any program with Cindy on, I have to turn the channel because I have literally become sick by her lies and pointing of fingers. There is something about Cindy that needs to be investigated. Speaking of finger pointing lets point our fingers at the Anthony's. This whole situation has become a circus act. WHITEKNIGHT! You never mention how you want justice for Caley, you only talk about you, programs the Anthony's are on and others to be blamed. OOO Geraldo show has placed Casey on the innocent seat. WOW, how impressive. Not quite! Casey is Guilty as SIN. FACE THE FACTS. Diversion will get you nowhere.
  • Casey Anthony
    Hope you all watched Geraldo. Casey is innocent and that will be proven.
  • Casey's defense claiming Kronk is the culprit
    Give me a break! Is the story going to be that Zanida gave the toddler to Kronk to do what he wanted to do?
  • Manipulative Anthony's
    Interesting that Cindy and George issued their statement Wednesday about not wanting Kronk to be treated unfairly; they have know all along Bozo was going to try and pin it on Roy, and put out their "sympathetic" statement to try and look like decent human beings. Roy, keep your chin up, you should be praised for not giving up on your suspicions and intuition!
  • So..Ive always wondered about Kronk and him "knowing" where the body was..yet this does not explain how the babys body got into Caseys car, nor the computer searches, nor the bizarre way Casey was acting nor how he ever came into contact with Caley...nor Zenaida. If Kronk kidnapped the baby, wouldnt that have been all over the news long ago? Wouldnt Casey have acted like a frantic parent?? So, sure..they can try to make him look suspicious, yet this cannot explain the other burning questions out there.
  • Kronk
    The moment this guy found the body of little Caylee I knew the defense would jump on it. The way in which she was discovered didnt quite add up. I by no means believe Kronk had anything to do with the murder. However, his story is not consistent with normal human behavior. I believe Kronk, like thousands of floridians took a very personal interest in the case. I believe he was out purposely looking for Caylee in the woods near her house. I dont think for a minute he discovered a suspicious bag while urinating in the woods. I think he found the body in that bag and then panicked. He was probably very scared that he would get blamed for tampering with evidence, get fired from his job because he should be working and not out stomping around in the woods, or worse involved in the murder in some way. I believe he concocted the story about urinating and stumbling upon the bag to hide the fact that he actually opened the bag and found a dead body in it. I believe he knew he found Caylee so he called the police to inform them of a suspicious bag in the woods. When nothing was found he called again, because "he" knew there was a body out there. So Kronk calls the police again and asks to send a cop out so he can point out where he came across the bag. We all know that cop didnt do a thorough seach, so he found nothing. By this point Kronk is probably thinking "for the cops to find this body I am going to have to walk them right up to it, open the bag and say see!" So what happens next, Kronk calls again about the suspicious bag in the woods. Why would he call so many times about a bag in the woods? Would you call the police 3 times about a bag in the woods unless you knew for sure there was something in it that shouldnt be there? Well we all know that the third time out they found little Caylee. Why? Because Kronk found her first but didnt want anyone to know he found her first. The only thing Kronk is guilty of is not being honest about his story in the beginning. Now the defense, which they have a right to do, is cast a seed of doubt about Kronk and his involvement in the death of Caylee. If Casey gets off because of Kronk it will seriously damage the willingness of future citizens to come forward with information about cases such as these in the future.
  • This is ridiculous
    The Anthony's have no morals not only do they lie and clean up behind Casey who murdered their daughter but they have no conscious to wreck other peoples lives to try to throw suspicion onto their daughters case and hope she goes free. How do they live with themselves? how do they go on pretending that going to church is helping them in some way? They are making people hate them and Casey more every day.
  • This is insane!
    First it was Zenaida, then they tried to implicate Tony, now the meter-reader!?!? Come on, give us a break! She said "Zenaida" took her kid, so now why are they trying to blame someone different. Shallow attempt to create resonable doubt. Only desperate attorney's use tactics like this. Good luck Boaz & team!
  • Judge Strickland needs to STOP this nonsense by the Defense. It is a disgrace to our Legal system and to little CAYLEE (in case anyone forgot, her mother murdered her).
