Casey Anthony's Taped "Missing Person" Report Played to Jury

Detective Yuri Melich of the Orange County Sheriff's department testified today in the Casey Anthony murder trial, questioned about the statement he took from Anthony on July 16, 2008 when Casey said her daughter Caylee had been kidnapped by a nanny named Zanny.

The jury heard for the first time the tape recorded statement made by Anthony to Detective Melich wherein she claims the babysitter took her daughter, and giving elaborate details about who had last seen Caylee and who know she was missing, and details about the nanny, none of which were true. 

The 20-minute tape recording was remarkable for the amount of details that turned out after investigation, to be totally false.

Defense attorney Jose Baez attempted to enter into the record, an internet crime blog reportedly written by Melich, under the pseudonym "Dick Tracy." Judge Belvin Perry, after hearing argument without the jury present, is not allowing the blog post into the trial.

Melich was the lead investigator in the Anthony, taking the investigation from a missing person case to the eventual first degree murder charges against Anthony. Baez told the judge Melich had been reprimanded by his superior for writing a blog during the investigation.
