HOLLYWOOD - Casey Kasem's body is missing — and the private detective for the late DJs daughter alleges Kasem's widow took it to hide signs of elder abuse.

Kasem, who died June 15 at 82, was taken from a Tacoma funeral home despite a restraining order forbidding his removal or cremation. Kasem's daughter Kerri Kasem has accused his widow, Jean Kasem, of taking his body out of the country and keeping his burial a secret so his family wouldn't be able to visit.

"She [Jean] is an extremely manipulative, cruel and egocentric individual," Kerri Kasem's private detective, Logan Clarke, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Kerri Kasem previously told THR that she intends to file an elder abuse charge against Jean Kasem. "She tortured him," she said. She also had requested an autopsy of her father, and an autopsy petition hearing was slated for July 25th. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)
