Synopsis Of Interview: Mr Cassell approached writer and Det David Wallace, of
the Polk County Sheriff's Office, in reference to our presence upon the property,
at which he lives next door to. Mr Cassell advised he noticed police crime scene
tape and was aware that Dee Dee Moore had lived next door to him. He does not
know them well and has never really conversed with them, but advised that Richard and David Land, who run a trucking business, used to own the property and the two
story house. He advised he was interested in purchasing the two story house at
5802 Hwy 60 and was somewhat upset that Mr Land had sold it to the current owner,
at this time.
He advised he has seen a yellow in color Hummer the last few days, parked on the
property and remembers when the driveway to this property was formed. He advised
he has seen a large slab of concrete that was poured in the back yard of the
residence, but does not recall anyone out on the property at nighttime, and
notes that there is a lawyer that practices in one of the bedrooms there, as an
office. He advised that when the new owners moved in, they cleared the old
orange tree grove in the back of the property, which consists of five to nine
acres. He pointed into the area where there is currently a Paint Ball
field/course which is a business owned by Dee Dee Moore and advised there is
also part of the orange grove in that particular region that was also cleared.
He advised he usually leaves his home for work between eight and nine in the
morning and he owns a furniture store within the Seffner area. He advised he
usually gets home after six p.m. and he's only noticed professionals going in and
out of the two story structure, when he is there to, utilizing the law office.
He advised his daughter's name is Kaeleigh Cassell, 09/18/89, and lives in
Sarasota. He provided her cell phone number of 813/716-7979 and advised she has
spoken to a blond woman on the property before, over the fence.
He assumed that the new owners of the property are well off because they were
able to purchase both homes, to his knowledge, to include the single story
structure located at 5732 Hwy 60, just next door. He advised he has also seen
a brunette and a blond woman in the driveway of the residence, located at 5732
Hwy 60.
When asked if he has ever heard gun shots or any suspicious activity, he advised
no and advised he has seen this particular yellow Hummer parked by the semitractor
trailer truck on the property at 5732 Hwy 60, either on
