Just when you probably thought the Casey Anthony case couldn’t have any more twists, a convict in South Carolina is now claiming to be the late 2-year old Caylee Anthony’s dad.

The inmate, Christopher Umberger has provided no proof of his claim so far but is insisting he takes a DNA test to prove he is the father of Caylee. Should the test prove that’s the case he then intends to sue Casey for killing their child.

Throughout her trial Casey had insisted the father died in a car crash several years ago, before Caylee’s death.

And there’s more intrigue – During the case Casey told police a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez had been Caylee’s nanny and it was she who took Caylee away. Gonzalez denies ever meeting Casey or her child and she’s now suing Casey for defamation.

The whole case is also in turmoil at present as the Judge, Jose Rodriguez quit today with no explanation. Now the entire case is on hold until a new can be assigned.

Casey is currently scheduled to walk free from her current home in an Orlando jail sometime on Sunday, but she may then have to undergo questioning from Umberger’s lawyers sometime next week.

Should Umberger’s claims be proved right he could sue Casey for the death of their child, and that would put the 25-year old mother right back in court.

What might happen then can only be guessed…
