| Jean Kasem with Casey |
"No one was allowed to visit. Jean visited [Casey] once in a while on the weekend." But at last, Naylor twells The Hollywood Reporter, on May 6, "The kids got to see their dad; he mouthed, 'I love you.' Then his wife [Jean] went in that night, dumped him into a car and took him away. He had an IV plus a stomach feeding tube."
Jean Kasem's attorney, Craig Marcus, said he had "no idea" where Casey Kasem is, only that he is out of the country. His children think he may be on a Washington State Indian reservation. "Jean was talking to her niece in Washington on the phone," says Julie Kasem, "saying, 'I need an Indian reservation with a private airstrip and I want to bring Casey there.' Her nephew overheard and immediately alerted Kerri [Kasem, Julie's sister]. We're all sort of family, in a twisted way."
"This horrible woman, he's literally afraid of her," says Naylor, who met Kasem when she was script supervisor for his 1971 film with Bruce Dern, The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant. She says she divorced Kasem in 1980 because, despite the fact that he is "a sweet man, and very generous," when he got angry, "he was a screamer. I didn't hate him, I just couldn't live with him."
After Kasem married Jean in Dec. 1980, insiders say his kids saw him less, that his friends and family would have to arrange to see him without Jean finding out. As he grew frail, says Naylor, "She stuck him out by himself in a condo with a caretaker in Malibu for years. My girls kept buying him phones, but she'd take them away."
