By now you know Casey Anthony is Caylee’s mother, but detectives want to know who the father is. It’s a question Casey’s own family can’t answer, but there are some clues.

Channel 9 has learned the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is interested in an FHP crash report that might be a clue as to who Caylee’s father actually is or may reveal another lie told by the little girl’s mother.

Eyewitness News spent the day knocking on doors Monday looking for relatives and friends of Jesus Ortiz, a 21-year-old killed in a car crash. In death, he’s being dragged into the Caylee Anthony saga.

“I’ve never heard that name before,” Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness News.
Caylee’s grandmother Cindy claims no knowledge of Ortiz, slthough she has said Caylee’s father was killed in a car crash. That crash investigation included a blood test for toxicology. Now investigators may use that sample in a post-mortem paternity test.

There seems to be a very interesting clue on the Internet, as well. Jesus Ortiz’s MySpace page is still online and a condolence message was left in the name of none other than Caylee Marie Anthony.

Meanwhile, when Channel 9’s Jeff Deal approached the potential father’s family, they were shocked at the mere possibility that Jesus might be Caylee’s father.

“The father? No,” family members told Eyewitness News Monday.

Another possibility has been tossed around as well, that even Casey doesn’t know who Caylee’s father is and made up yet another lie about the mystery father who died in a car accident.

The medical examiner’s office said the blood is still available for a paternity test. In the crash, Ortiz was found at fault and alcohol was not involved.

    Hi– nice site. I truly wonder if this guy Jesus Ortiz is the father, really. No mention of any surviving daughter was listed in any news story about his car accident and, supposedly, he never met Caylee. I bet Casey said that after he died– she might have known him or something, and after he died, she just lied– just like she always does. And, when she met Tony and his roommate, she embellished the story and had him “die” on Caylee’s birthday.

    I also wouldn’t put it past her that she pretended to “scold” Caylee when she was on the phone with Jesse. I could even see her doing something like this, considering all the info that has come out about her.

    From all accounts, Jesus Ortiz was an upstanding guy. He would have had some interaction with Caylee if he was the father, I think.

There was some pic’s now gone of course from Caylee’s first Bithday… There was a guy includeed in her pic’s…Long hair nice looking….I think this is the guy…Who is he??? Zenaida means white winged dove….Also named Mouring dove? What did casey like to take pic’s of? And also was she seeing someome elses? On myspace a guy named **The Quadruple….She sent a message June 4th 2008…So are you home yet?…………Trying to think there was one more question….When she went home to change & drop of the baby how long did it take? And on Lee’s myspace there is a very cute clip of Caylee…Page around 21…22 depend on new friends…Live from the baby….:(

    My prayers go out to this family.I honestly believe little Caylee may never be found.If her mom left her with a sitter did she pack a diaper bag?did she pack her favorite blanky or toy?Cant she hear her baby crying for her?she isnt even related to me nor doIknow this beautiful child but Icry for her I pray she is still with us but Idont be lieve she is.all her mom can do is smile for the camera,make sure she is in the spotlight and lie,lie,lie….has anyone asked for ransom???there is not a sitter or someone that knws of her would have come forward,Im sure she has at least one enemy.also there is no other people as she claims she never said anything till somthing was mentioned on TV,she is guilty as she can be,She needs to come clean so this baby can be put to rest and her family can finaly put their lives back the best they can.Mheart goes out to them.stop letting her see herself on TV.She is really getting a kick out of it.Only show pics of Caley SHE is our concern not casey she only cares that she looks good for the camera …

    One other possibility is Jesse Grund and from what I have read he has been tossed around as a possibility by Casey’s parents. His Myspace page also has a tribute to Caylee and links to the other web sites.

    I am also interested in hearing more about Jesus Ortiz myself, particularly once they get the DNA stuff sorted out. I’ve been following the case as much as possible with my work hours over at http://www.shadowscope.com/archives/newscurrent_eventsweather/caylee_anthony/

    Thanks for posting about Jesus, I had not heard about this until I saw it over here.

    There is a picture of a guy playing with Caylee on Casey’s myspace pictures. That could be the father. He is overweight and someone that Casey may have wanted to deny as being the father since she is superficial and he is overweight.

    Apparently Casey has hid the identity of the true father, even before Caylee went missing. What a shallow person Casey is.

    I would like to see a character sketch of Casey. Who is she really? How did she grow up? Was she that much of a party girl not to know who the father is? Why did she not tell her parents who the father is? How can her parents be so accepting of her? Why didn’t they teach her to be more responsible for herself? Why is she still living at home? Did she work to help the family out? Did her parents spoil her too much? Is she as manipulative as she sounds? Does she have a mental health or drug history? She sounds like a seriously mentally deranged person who needs help? Have psychologists had their turn? Are her parents in denial when they could be helping with this case? I feel very sorry for the parents and the parents of Ortiz. My heart bleeds for poor little Caylee, a beautiful innocent victim.

    Since Casey is so uncooperative has anyone thought to bring in a psyhic to find Caylee?

    My heart go out to Caylee real family the one’s who doing all they can to help find her, I don’t feel sorry for her mother Casey because i really believe in my heart that she had something to do with her dauther being missing, I hope i’m truly wrong but my gut is telling me that she either sold that baby to soemone else for some money or she killed that little girl or let someone else kill her for not going back and getting her, because no true parent will even be so happy that they can’t find they child, something is not right with Casey and i wish she will just tell someone what really happen so this little girl so she can be fount and i pray that she is still alive, It just hurt my heart as a mother with two little girls of my own to know that my girls might be so scared wondering when am i coming to get them if they r with someone they don’t know or someone who hurting them. Casey dont look worried at all it like she just don’t care. i’m also confuse with Casey parent becasue how can’t u not get ur dauther to tell u where they grandchild is at, I think they r being to good and nice to her she don’t see any of this a punishment, i think she need to know that her life is in danger as well as her child and that she might be charge with some serious charges like Murder. Casey i beg u to please tell someone something about ur daughter whereabouts it’s for the child saftey and i know she is very scared it been two months now and i pray that u didn’t kill her or let anyone else kill her, if u didn’t want her you should of just left her with ur parents who would have taking care of her so “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell someone something about ur daughter she is to cute to not want her u need to look at her face and those big eyes and maybe u will feel something for her and tell where she is at…I PRAY TAHT SHE BE FOUNT VERY SOON AND ALIVE!

    Casey anthony threw away annie downing’s hat. andyone ever wonder why? perhaps she didnt want them to test annies hair and find the similarities between annies hair and caylees hair. annie has a step brother named michael who you can find in one photo at a party with casey. i believe he is the father and he and HIS father left orlando and moved to vero beach soon after the dissapearance. michael and casey do look similar and michael is now wearing blue eye contacts to cover up his dark hazel eye color….

    p.s. oh yea and downing also works/ worked at papa johns. casey’s cell phone pings show her calls to papa johns and than when she got bailed out on bond she ordered papa johns to the house. it had a letter that said “with love and decomposition” i think they did that to make it look like a cruel joke to the family. but i guarentee you there was more on that letter than that. i think michael may have used that to contact.
