Was it Caylee Anthony’s Skeletal Remains Found Today Less than a Mile Away from Cindy & George Anthony’s Home?

Were the remains of this precious girl Caylee Anthony found this morning?

Hidden in plain sight … The body of missing Caylee Anthony may have been recovered less than one mile away from grandparents home. See previous post for todays earlier events in the case of what in all likelihood looks like the discovery of missing Caylee Anthony’s body. How will the grandparents of Caylee Anthony deal with the fact that Caylee was killed and literally buried in almost their own back yard as all evidence points toward their daughter, Casey Anthony?

The news broke this morning as at 9:32 am a utility worker found a garbage bag with the skeletal remains of a child at the area of Chickasaw Trail and Suburban Drive, less than a half a mile away from the home of Cindy and George Anthony, the grandparents of missing Caylee Anthony. The remains of a child were found in a wooded area near the Hidden Oaks Elementary School less than a mile away from the Anthony grandparents home and Lee Anthony’s home. It is being reported that missing 3 year old girl was “totally underwater” during previous searches for the toddler.

Although not confirmed yet by the medical examiners that the body discovered was that of Caylee Anthony, all signs and probability point in that direction. What is the probability that the remains could be anything but that of Caylee Anthony in that a body of a child be found in such closer proximity of the Anthony home. They say that most accidents take place 10 minutes from home, it appears that crime scene locations of missing persons do as well. Earlier this morning, Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch referenced during an interview that he had a discussion with law enforcement where he was told, “Tim, it looks like we got her.”

Asked if the area had been searched before, Beary told reporters, “Understand this, all of this area, we confirmed with the county, was totally underwater when we started doing all this.  We were all over this area several times.  But the bottom line is, it was probably underwater.”

UPDATE I: Cindy and  George Anthony arrive back in Orlando, FL

Cindy and  George Anthony arrive back in Orlando, FL from their guest appearance on The Larry King Show last night.  It would appear that there is some crow that Cindy Anthony might want to be eating tonight for dinner. Cindy Anthony in her forever world of denial stated on Larry King (transcript here) that no one has provided them any evidence that Caylee is no longer with us. Let us now see what Cindy and George have to say about the fact that a childs remains were found so close to their home. After all the denial, the posturing and the defending of their daughter Casey Anthony, will the grandparents of little Caylee provide her with respect and the justice that she rightfully deserves.  

CINDY ANTHONY: We have had five searches done by the sheriff’s department, done by Tim Miller with Texas EquuSearch.

KING: I know him.

CINDY ANTHONY: And it’s come up with nothing. There’s nothing that they have found that, you know, has given them any evidence that Caylee is no longer with us.

UPDATE II: Attorney Jose Baez said Casey Anthony reacted badly to child discovery news

I can report exclusively after several conversations with lead defense attorney Jose Baez that his client Casey Anthony reacted “very badly” to today’s news of the child’s body being discovered. “She was crying and sobbing,” according to Baez. Furthermore, she had to be given a sedative to calm her.

Attorney Jose Baez that his client Casey Anthony reacted “very badly” to today’s news of the child’s body being discovered. What else would one expect of their client when they finally figure out that the gig is up. The only chance that Baez and Casey Anthony could have played the “reasonable doubt” card that Caylee could still have been alive if there was no body. That premise just went by the way side this morning. Although, why would Casey Anthony’s first thought be that the body of the child found this morning was Caylee? Why would she automatically take that in a bad way unless she had something to do with leaving the plastic bag there?

UPDATE III: Police Seek Search Warrant for Caylee Anthony Grandparents Home

After finding the human remains of a child earlier this morning, the home of George and Cindy Anthony are off limits to them as a search of the home will be conducted by police.

Authorities say they are seeking a search warrant for the Orlando home of a missing 3-year-old girl after a small child’s remains were found nearby.

Orange County sheriff’s spokesman Carlos Padilla said Thursday that investigators cordoned off the home belonging to the grandparents of Caylee Anthony, who often stayed at the home with her mother.

UPDATE IV: Plastic Bag, Duct Tape Could Yield Vital Clues in Caylee Anthony Case

Will the evidence of duct tape or forensic findings change the prosecutors minds of whether to seek the death penalty?

Today the face of the legal case against tot mom Casey Anthony completely changed in favor of the prosecution. Prior to this mornings discovery of a childs remains less than one half mile away from the Anthony’s home which by all accounts is Caylee Anthony, the defense was banking on the fact that there was no body. Thus, if there was no body there was a possibility there could still be an alive Caylee. That coupled with the all too numerous and fictitious Caylee sightings would have been there defense. Not any longer. The evidence found today, the skeletal remains, duct tape and contents within the bag are a forensic crime pathologists dream.

The remains, found Thursday by a utility worker less than half a mile from Caylee’s home, have yet to be identified, but investigators will be searching the scene for “a treasure trove of forensic evidence,” FOX News contributor Michael Baden said.

Pathologists should be able to identify the body quickly from dental records, Baden said, and the plastic and duct tape could provide additional vital clues, including fingerprints. They could also provide clues to how the child died, and to who dumped the body.

“The beauty of duct tape — no matter rain, snow, sleet — that fingerprint will stay there,” Baden said, adding that if someone used their teeth to rip it, it could yield DNA evidence too.

“Right now, they would be looking at all the contents of the plastic bag and they would be looking at the plastic bag itself,” Baden said. “The fingerprints on the outside often get dissolved away by weather, but the inside of the plastic bag, the fingerprints would be there.”
