By Martin Dryan Published: 14:44 EST, 18 July 2014 | Updated: 08:35 EST, 19 July 2014 Casey Kasem's body was flown from the funeral home in Tacoma, Washington to a funeral home in Montreal, Canada on July 14, two days before a judge ordered Casey's widow Jean Kasem to keep the body in Tacoma for an autopsy.
But mysteriously, Casey's body never arrived.
A representative for Kerri Kasem, Casey's daughter, has confirmed that her father's body is missing.
MailOnline has learned that Casey's body was put on a plane by staff at the Gaffney Funeral Home in Tacoma on July 14 and shipped to Urgel Bourgie Funeral Homes in Montreal. But staff at the Canadian funeral parlor say they have no record for any arrangements for the arrival of Kasem's body under his name, his birth name Kemal Amen Kasem or his wife Jean's name.
