“Who is going to sue her, who can show cause to file suit?”

A volunteer search group is suing Casey Anthony for more than $100,000 claiming she insisted her daughter Caylee was alive and pleaded with them to find her, although Casey Anthony now claims that she knew her daughter was already dead.
The civil lawsuit filed by Texas EquuSearch states that the company invested over two years, 4,200 personnel, hundreds of thousands of hours and $112,000 of their donor-funded resources in massive search and rescue efforts for 2-year old Caylee.
Even worse, the group’s lawsuit states, the search for Caylee used up so much of its resources they were unable to help others who came to them seeking help in finding missing family members.
“During the time TES was searching for Caylee, TES received more than 15 requests for other families for missing loved ones, and was unable to offer assistance to any of these families as TES was fully devoted to the search for Caylee,” the lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit states that Casey Anthony’s mother, Cindy Anthony, called EquuSearch founder Tim Miller in late August 2008 and “implored” him to assist in the search for her granddaughter. Miller traveled to Orlando, Fla., where Cindy and George Anthony told him, in Casey’s presence, that Caylee was still alive.
“Casey Anthony likewise told Mr. Miller that Caylee was alive, and asked him to please bring her back,” the lawsuit says.
EquuSearch said it launched the second most costly search in the organization’s 11-year history, eating away 40 percent of its annual budget to finance motel rooms, rent vehicles and related expenses for the volunteers from 13 states who aided in the search.
The company points to the opening statements of the trail, in which Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, who had been present at meetings with the Anthony family, stated, “[s]he was never missing. Caylee Anthony died June 16, 2008, when she drowned in her family’s swimming pool.”
The company claims it was “damaged” by “Casey Anthony’s lies, omissions and deception,” and wants to be reimbursed.
I wish them luck, I however find their task difficult.
They may be judged to have standing, they may have a court hearing. They may even get a judgment. However,the likelihood of collecting on the judgment is slim to non.
It is unfortunate since it is likely that she is at leastcomplicite in her child's death, if not solely responsible for killing her. But that is life. That is the legal system.
