PI Jim Hoover Answered Questions In Zenaida Gonzalez Civil Suit

ABC News allegedly paid Jose Baez upwards of $200,000 for home videos of Caylee Marie Anthony, according to a sworn statement Jim Hoover made this morning.

Attorney John Morgan asked Hoover if he knew of anyone getting paid by ABC to which Hoover answered, "Um, I had heard that money had been given to the attorney [Baez] for some individual -- I don't know if it was given to the attorney or to Casey for some videos that was on ABC."

A few moments later he said Dominic Casey told him Baez was paid between $200,000 or $225,000 for the videos.

Private investigator Jim Hoover told an attorney this morning that the purpose of his trip to a wooded area near the Anthony home in November was to look for the dead body of Caylee Marie Anthony, according to a transcript of his interview.

Hoover said Anthony family private investigator Dominic Casey asked Hoover to accompany him in November.

"[He] asked me to go with him -- asked me to go with him to find Caylee's body," Hoover said in the interview. (source)

James Hoover and Dominic Casey to Attend Deposition

On Wednesday, James Hoover and Dominic Casey are scheduled to answer questions in a depostion at the offices of Zenaida Gonzalez's attorney's.

The two private detectives at one time worked for Cindy and George Anthony to follow-up on leads to find Caylee Anthony.

The search behind the wooded lot on Suburban drive where Caylee's remains were found is in question.

Dominic said "As I turned around, Hoover was standing there with a video camera," I asked "What are you doing here?' Hoover said, "I thought you might want help." Dominic said, James, that's completely inappropriate."

**Leonard Padilla was scheduled to be questioned March 24th. It has been moved to May. The attorneys requested to talk to him after George and Cindy Anthony.
