YNW Melly Casey Anthony: TMZ Reports a Research Role

By Miles Carter, November 10, 2026

TMZ reported on Nov 6, 2026, that Casey Anthony has been working as a research assistant for private investigator Pat McKenna, who was hired by a law firm representing YNW Melly. According to TMZ, she is helping the attorneys research aspects of the case as they prepare for a January retrial in Broward County, which TMZ described as a double-murder retrial. Those details are TMZ's reporting, not a court finding, and this article does not treat the role as confirmed by a filing or by counsel.

TMZ said it reached out to Anthony, McKenna, Melly's lawyers, and family members and had no word back. KAZI has not opened a statement from Melly's counsel or a Broward filing that names Anthony in that role.
