Casey and the Cop….this story just keeps getting weirder

Just when you think this story can’t get any stranger, yet another weird twist. Local6.com out of Orlando is reporting that the Orange County Sheriff’s Dept has fired one of their own for lying about his relationship with Casey Anthony. I want to stress that this relationship occurred before Caylee went missing….but how much weirder can this story get?


Deputy Fired For Lying About Sex, Chats With Missing Girl’s Mom

Pair Talked About Caylee In Chats

ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orange County sheriff’s deputy was terminated for lying about a sexual relationship with the mother of a missing girl in the latest twist in a case continuing to grab the nation’s attention.

Deputies recently discovered that Deputy Tony Rusciano, 24, was linked to Casey Anthony not long before her daughter was reported missing, Local 6 reported.

When Rusciano was questioned about knowing Casey Anthony, he initially told them that he met her at a party and barely knew her, Local 6′s Jessica D’Onofrio said.

Rusciano was terminated on Friday after detectives looked into the relationship. He was fired for lying about it, police said.

Detectives did a forensic search of Anthony’s computer and typed some keywords — which led them to pages of chats between Rusciano and Anthony.

The pair did talk about Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, during the chats, D’Onofrio reported.

None of the chats were apparently meaningful in terms of helping detectives find the missing 3-year-old.

Rusciano and Anthony had a sexual relationship, D’Onofrio reported.

Apparently, they were talking to each other around the end of May — which would be just weeks before Anthony said she last saw her daughter.

D’Onofrio said it was not known if Rusciano ever met or saw Caylee.

If Rusciano would have been forthcoming to deputies about his relationship with Anthony, he likely would not have been fired, D’Onofrio reported.
