Police Seek 4 Online and Retail Accounts in Anthony Federline Probe Over 12-Year-Old's Death

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 9

Summary

  • New warrants target Anthony Federline’s Facebook and Snapchat accounts, plus the family’s CVS Caremark account and two Amazon accounts, as Connecticut investigators widen the probe into 12-year-old Eve Rogers’ March 18 death.
  • Toxicology found 23,000 ng/ml of diphenhydramine in the girl’s blood—well above listed lethal levels for children—and also detected fluoxetine that had not been prescribed to her.
  • Investigators said it remains unclear how she ingested the drug; police found no dye in her system consistent with Sleep Aid capsules, despite her mother saying she bought medication on Amazon.
  • Federline, 39, was charged in April with first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor after DNA from a sexual-assault exam linked him to the case; he has pleaded not guilty and faces court later this month.
