Casey Kasem's son Mike has finally spoken about the missing body of his father and his second wife, who was said to have taken the corpse. In a report from The Hollywood Reporter, the former MTV VJ and only son of the late radio host calls out his stepmom Jean's "demented behavior" - and lists 10 strong questions to prove it.
Jean was given control of Casey's remains, but the radio icon has yet to be laid to rest more than a month after dying. On Wednesday, Casey's body was reportedly removed from a funeral home in Washington and flown to Montreal, Canada.
A development reported in NY Daily News revealed that Montreal is the hometown of a man who is allegedly the lover of Kasem's wife.
When asked by The Hollywood Reporter why Jean might be hiding his father's corpse from his children, Casey Kasem's son Mike says that his stepmom has "demonstrated what we have known for 30 years: She's bat-s*it crazy".
Casey Kasem's son also lists 10 strong questions regarding the sincerity of his stepmom's love for his father, which includes incidents that try to prove Jean's "demented behavior":
1. If she loved him, then where was she at the end of his life when we reached out to have her by his side?
2. Why would she leave his remains for weeks before making a move?
3. Why would she recite scripture while hurling raw hamburger meat at my sister?
4. Why would she cut him off from everyone he loves, friends included - are we all a**holes?
5. Why would she rip him out of a care facility at 2 a.m. against doctors' orders to take him on a road trip he is not equipped to handle?
6. Why would she list their residence on the death certificate for the last 18 years as 'Jerusalem, Israel'?
7. Why would she play actress, fall to the floor in front of cameras outside the courtroom, screaming, 'They have blood on their hands,' and then go hang out with her boyfriend?
8. (Why would she) tell a judge he's incompetent?
9. Why would she call a nurse at the hospital a fat-ass?
10. Why wouldn't she ask the doctors why we took him off life support? Because your husband was choking on his own fluids! Which you would have known if you had cared to be there or inquire!
Mike added: "Pattern much? Would anyone care for some nuts? I've had too much over the last 30 years, no thanks."
In response to the interview of Casey Kasem's son, Jean Kasem forwarded to The Hollywood Reporter an email intended for her former lawyers - who just recently dropped her case due to lack of cooperation from the client and unpaid legal services bills.
Jean's email instructed her lawyers to "stick to the agreement" - apparently an agreement not to give The Hollywood Reporter an interview.
In a CNN interview, Jean said Casey's children have been "blackmailing" her for 35 years. "This is a shakedown and I will not negotiate with terrorists," she told CNN. "I will not give in to their blackmail and attacks."
