Friend: Casey Anthony Spoke Of Dead Smell In Car
Documents In Casey Anthony Case Reveal New Details
POSTED: 11:41 am EDT September 23, 2008
UPDATED: 5:07 pm EDT September 23, 2008
Nine days after Caylee Anthony was last seen, her mother contacted a friend and said “it smells like something died in my car,” new documents released on Tuesday show.
Casey Anthony later told friend Amy Huzenga, “There's definitely part of an animal plastered on my car,” according to a transcript of her interview with Orange County deputies.
That interview was part of nearly 600 pages of documents released by the state attorney’s office in the case of the missing 3-year-old. Casey Anthony faces child neglect and other charges and is out on bond awaiting trial.
Many of the documents are text messages and phone records, but they do include some investigator interviews, including with Casey Anthony’s brother, Lee, and her friend Amy Huzenga.
Hunzenga told deputies that Anthony said her father George had hit a squirrel but had “gotten rid of it.”
Investigators have said that air samples taken from the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car indicate human decomposition. Casey had abandoned the car, which was later recovered by her parents in a towing yard.
According to Huzenga, before George and Cindy Anthony opened the trunk, the smell was so bad, they were terrified it was Caylee or Casey in that trunk.
Also, during the interview, Hunzenga said that on June 28, Casey Anthony showed up at Huzenga's door and asked if the two could go to Target and buy a gasoline can. During that time Casey told Huzenga that Caylee was at the beach.
At one point, Huzenga said to deputies, Anthony told her she was barely even able to see Caylee lately. But Casey then said, “at least she's in a good place and not involved with all this other stuff,” Hunzenga told deputies.
A woman who answered the phone at attorney Jose Baez's office on Tuesday said Baez was not in and she's referring all media calls to his spokesperson, Todd Black.
In a telephone interview, Black said the discovery evidence released by the State Attorney's Office Tuesday contains nothing new and, therefore, Baez is not going to comment on it. Black went on to say Baez received his copy of the evidence on Monday and that if there had been any new, condemning evidence against Casey, "she wouldn't be sitting at home right now" free on bond.
Black also said a third party has provided the funds to hire an independent investigative team to chase down leads regarding Caylee's whereabouts. Black said due to confidentiality agreements, he would not reveal the identities of the members of the investigative team or the location they're operating out of. He said the team will focus on looking into leads he believes the Sheriff's office has ignored.
Meanwhile, a local lawmaker wants to put some new rules in place to keep protesters away from the Anthony home in East Orange County.
Neighbors are pushing for an injunction to force protestors to stay in an empty lot, and not in front of the family's house.
Orange County commissioner Linda Stewart said that if that doesn't pass, she has another plan: Enact a curfew on the neighborhood.

Casey Anthony has lived for years with "one toe" in reality and would likely fall apart if anything happened to her young daughter, her ex-fiancé told detectives investigating the child's disappearance.
"I think if something happened to Caylee, her one toe that she's had in reality for the last couple years, her one foot, would be gone and she would be completely in her own separate world," Jesse Grund said.
Grund's interview with Orange County sheriff's detectives was included in nearly 600 pages of legal documents released Tuesday as part of the investigation into Caylee Marie's disappearance.

Source Says Casey Said Caylee Was Sold To Someone In Puerto Rico
POSTED: 5:24 pm EDT September 24, 2008
UPDATED: 8:01 pm EDT September 24, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Is there a Puerto Rico connection to Caylee Anthony's disappearance or is it just another lie from Casey? Sources who knew the family intimately during the past few months told Eyewitness News that Casey convinced her mother that Caylee was sold to someone in Puerto Rico.
You can find mention of the Puerto Rico connection buried in the documents investigators just released. On July 22, after Caylee was reported missing, Casey's former best friend, Amy Huizenga, got a text message in the middle of the night from an unidentified person about a trip she and two of Casey's friends took to Puerto Rico.
"Won't take a genius or the Feds to start talking to you guys about the trip, because you three left at different times to [go] out of the country while Caylee was unaccounted for. Know what I mean?" Huizenga's friend wrote.
The friend then asked: "You guys keep your ticket stubs?" and "Just out of curiosity why did you, Troy and Ricardo go to Puerto Rico separately?"
Wednesday, sources who spent a lot of time with the family in recent weeks, told Eyewitness News that when Casey got out of jail the first time, she convinced her mother that she sold her daughter to someone in Puerto Rico. The only interview Cindy's done since then is with Univision, where she talked about a tip that Caylee was in Puerto Rico.
But Leonard Padilla, the bounty hunter who originally sprung Casey from jail, told Eyewitness News on Wednesday that it's just another crazy lie cooked up by Casey.
"Baby's dead. Baby's deceased," he said.
Padilla said he stationed a female employee in the house for nine days with Casey and claims Casey confided in her regularly, but never said anything about Puerto Rico.
"Her whole methodology the whole nine days that the young lady was in there with her was one of denial, guilt, that she had done away with her own daughter," Padilla said.
Those same exclusive sources close to the family also told Eyewitness News that Casey confides in Cindy a lot, while her father George spends most of the day away from the two women and, if he is home, he keeps to himself.

Docs: Casey Anthony Sent 553 Cell Text Messages, Two About Daughter
POSTED: 7:56 pm EDT September 24, 2008
UPDATED: 8:39 pm EDT September 24, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A series of more than 550 text messages sent by Caylee Anthony's mother reveal the woman did not appear to be worried about her daughter in the days the girl was missing.
According to cell phone documents, in a two-month period between April and June, Casey Anthony sent her friend Amy Huizenga 553 text messages.
Of the messages, only two references are made to Caylee.
On May 13, Casey Anthony sent a text message that said, "My mom is taking the kid for the weekend for part of her vacation (with a smiley face)."
Then, less than a week before the toddler's disappearance, Casey Anthony announced, "Caylee just pooped in her potty for the first time. Sorry, proud mama."
The message was the last time Casey Anthony mentioned her daughter to Huizenga in text messages.
A week after the toddler vanished, Anthony sent a text to Huizenga that said, "Leaving for work in a few. I'll call you on my way to the house."
Casey Anthony did not have a job at Universal Studios or apparently anywhere else, Local 6 has learned.
On June 26, Casey Anthony wrote, "I need a freaking vacation."
The next day, a text message told Huizenga about how her car smelled like a dead animal -- and how it was possibly a squirrel that was run over.
Fifteen minutes later, Casey Anthony wrote, "My car ran out of gas again. Two weeks in a row. On Friday, my stupid car runs out of gas. Wow."
It now appears that Casey Anthony stole the gasoline cans from her father's back yard shed after she ran out of gas for the first time, Local 6 reported.
George Anthony seized the cans back from Casey Anthony.
Then, her vehicle's tank ran dry again, forcing her to abandon the car at an Amscot.
Two days later, on June 29, Casey Anthony sends a message to Huizenga," Can I borrow you and your gas can today?"
By that time, the car had already been towed.
Anthony told Huizenga that her father had picked up the car, which was not true, Local 6's Mike DeForest said.

TODAY'S UPDATES:
Audio interviews of Anthony's brother, boyfriend released
1:25 p.m. The Sheriff's Office just released the recorded interviews between detectives and numerous people close to Casey Anthony.
Detectives interviewed her brother Lee Anthony, Anthony's most recent boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro, and her ex-fiancé Jesse Grund.
NeJame: No truth to rumors of movie deal
9:55 a.m. The attorney representing the parents of Casey Anthony today denied that his clients have struck a deal with LMN for the rights to the story of their daughter and missing granddaughter, Caylee Marie.
"The first time I heard of any such thing was when I received a phone call from a reporter," said attorney Mark NeJame, who is representing George and Cindy Anthony. "We have not uttered one word or had one conversation with anybody from any media outlet...regarding negotiations or a deal."
LMN, formerly known as Lifetime Movie Network, is owned by the Walt Disney Company and the Hearst Corporation.
A publicist for LMN also rebuffed the allegations.
"There is no truth to the rumor that [Lifetime Movie Network] has optioned any rights to the story of Casey Anthony and her daughter Caylee Marie," publicist Neil Schubert wrote in an e-mail to the Orlando Sentinel.

'Babysitting Service' Mocks Protestershttp://i34.tinypic.com/htv3wm.jpg
Meanwhile, an outdoor "babysitting service" set up near the Anthony's home mocked protesters who continue to bring their young children, even infants, to heckle the family.
Local 6 videotaped a man taping signs to a baby's playpen reading, "Protesters Babysitting Service."
Homeowners have accused protesters of bad parenting for bringing infants and young children to the Anthony's Orange County home -- even late at night.
The home has become a tourist attraction for some visitors to Orlando and at least one group planned a trip to see the home after Casey Anthony was released from jail for the third time.
Recently, children were videotaped holding death signs in their parent's arms outside the Anthony home.
The protesters did not like the "babysitting service" and mocked the man setting it up, Local 6 reported.

Where is Caylee?
Hundreds of legal documents in Casey Anthony case released
Amy L. Edwards and Walter Pacheco | Sentinel Staff Writer
2:08 PM EDT, September 26, 2008
TODAY'S UPDATES:
Hundreds legal documents in Casey Anthony case to be released
The Sentinel this morning received more than 600 pages of legal documents, including depositions from Anthony's friends and instant messages between Anthony and her friends, as well as more than a half dozen CDs, including a DVD of Cindy Anthony being interviewed by detectives.
This is a sample of what detectives learned from various individuals:
Tow-truck driver notices car seat
Investigators interviewed the tow-truck driver who picked up Anthony's car at an Amscot check-cashing business.
The car was abandoned at the business, which is at Colonial Drive and Goldenrod Road. It was towed by Johnson's Wrecker on June 30.
Authorities collected hair, dirt and stain samples from the back of Anthony's car. Air samples taken from the trunk showed it once contained a decomposing body.
Tow-truck driver Gary Ridgeway told investigators he noticed the child's car seat and "thought it was irresponsible as hell to be leaving a car like that if you have a child that young."
Ridgeway said he didn't notice an odor from the car but did add that he had recently gotten over a cold.
Manager notices odor
A sheriff's detective interviewed Simon Burch, a manager for Johnson's Wrecker.
Burch said he noticed the odor coming from Anthony's white Pontiac while it was on the property -- for two weeks -- but didn't think much of it. They often have foul smells coming from vehicles because of spoiled food, garbage and other items that are locked inside.
When Cindy and George Anthony arrived to pick up the car, Burch said Cindy was irritated.
While he and George Anthony walked out to get the vehicle, George apologized for his wife's behavior and also told him about their family's problems.
Burch said Anthony told him, "We'll probably get divorced over this." Anthony said their daughter was telling lies and refused to let them see their granddaughter.
When they got to the car and opened the door, the pungent odor was overwhelming.
"I mean it was, it knocked me back," he said.
"An [sic] then when he opened the car door and that stench come out, by, like my heart dropped because
.he'd been telling me about his granddaughter missing."
Burch said he and Anthony opened the trunk and found a light bag of garbage. Flies came out and the odor was foul.

Casey Anthony: The Evidence
Anthony Could Face Charges In Daughter's Disappearance In Weeks
POSTED: 8:36 am EDT September 26, 2008
UPDATED: 8:50 am EDT September 26, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Without a body, witness or confession, investigators looking into the case of missing toddler Caylee Anthony said they're piecing together a circumstantial case like a large puzzle.
And they said they're working to fill the holes that they believe Anthony's attorney will try to punch through their case.
On July 16, Orange County investigators used Anthony's own statements as evidence to charge her with child neglect and making false statements. She admitted her child had been missing for one month and she did not go to police for help.
"The horrible thing that happened is -- this is the honest to God's truth -- of everything that I've said, I do not know where she is," Anthony said.
She also admitted that she lied to investigators during their attempts to find Caylee.
"I placed her under arrest," Orange County Sheriff's Office Detective Yuri Melich said.
At Anthony's first bond hearing two weeks later, Melich dropped a bombshell: Anthony was a person of interest in her daughter's disappearance.
"They found hair samples in the trunk of the car that were similar in length and color to that of Caylee. They also found a stain inside the trunk of the car that came up under black light that is questionable that we need to process," Melich said.
On the stand, Melich also said there was an overwhelming stench of death in the car.
"In my experience, the smell that I smelled inside that car was the smell of decomposition," Melich said.
According to other sources, lab tests have been ongoing as recently as this week to "triple check" that evidence. Investigators said they're confident those tests will provide "iron-clad proof" that Caylee's body was in the trunk of the car, how her body was positioned and that strands of her hair fell out after she died.
Investigators have also confirmed that high levels of chloroform were in the trunk, and they said they're close to determining the dates someone researched chloroform on Anthony's computer before Caylee disappeared.
One investigator said there's still a critical element missing: a definite motive and criminal intent for why Caylee's body got in the trunk.
Anthony and her lawyer, Jose Baez, have said all along that she dropped off Caylee with a babysitter in mid-June. Neither the child nor babysitter has been seen since.
"She has absolutely no idea where Caylee is," Baez said.
In a matter of weeks, investigators said they plan to arrest Anthony in connection with Caylee's disappearance.
When asked about the possibility that Caylee was buried in the back yard of the family's home, investigators said they believe if the toddler's body was there, it was later moved, and after a thorough investigation of the yard, they believe it was unnecessary to dig there.

Computer Evidence Shows Casey Searched For Missing Child Websites
POSTED: 4:16 pm EDT September 26, 2008
UPDATED: 5:56 pm EDT September 26, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Eyewitness News dug through hundreds of files on Casey Anthony's personal computer Friday and found she had been looking at missing children websites long before Caylee disappeared.
Investigators released images found on Casey Anthony's computer they called "graphics of interest" in the case of her missing toddler. An anti-death penalty image, showing a little girl that even looks a bit like Caylee, has a caption that reads: "Why do people kill people, who kill people, to show people that to kill people is bad?" (Read computer forensics report)
A quote from rapper Tupac reads: "You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened. Or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the [expletive] on."
Both images appeared on Casey's computer just days before she was arrested for lying to investigators. Images included something Casey had tattooed after Caylee disappeared, photos of Casey draped in a flag at an "Anything But Clothes" party and Internet conversations she had with men suggesting Caylee interfered with Casey's sex life.
Digging through Casey's Internet history, Eyewitness News discovered evidence she was surfing missing children web sites months before Caylee disappeared. She visited one more than a year ago. Ironically, now Caylee's picture takes center stage on that same site.
There were also Internet conversations detailing Casey Anthony's drug use. In one, Casey said she "can hit up my friend Annie for some Xanax" and promised "we'd be a good time."
The computer records also revealed that, starting in June, Casey's computer was used to search for Zenaida Gonzalez, the mystery nanny. The question now is whether she was trying to get background information on the woman, who she would later accuse of being the person who took Caylee.

Cindy Tells Investigators Casey's "Not A Murderer" In Newly Released Video
POSTED: 10:52 am EDT September 26, 2008
UPDATED: 6:46 pm EDT September 26, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Eyewitness News obtained stacks of phone records, pictures and hours of police interviews with Casey Anthony's parents, lovers and friends that were released by investigators on Friday.
INTERVIEW WITH CINDY ANTHONY RELEASED
It was a grueling two-hour interview with Cindy Anthony, where she frequently interrupted and dodged investigators' questions. It ended with them begging her to stop misleading the public, because it was hurting their search for Caylee.
Cindy told a whole new story about where Casey was the first week Caylee was gone during the interview with investigators on August 1. Cindy Anthony relayed to detectives a totally different story Casey told her about where she and Caylee were the week after Caylee had last been seen. Casey said she was working long hours, staying at the Hard Rock Hotel near Universal and at Busch Gardens, where she and the nanny took Caylee on Sunday, then Zanny had a car accident on the way home.
"Zanny had a concussion," Cindy told investigators.
Cindy said she doesn't believe any of it now and that she doesn't believe Caylee was with Zanny.
"I think that Zanny, at this point, was a real person in the beginning, but I think Zanny is now whoever's watching Caylee," Cindy said.
"Do you think we're spinning our wheels looking for a Zanny?" an investigator asked.
"I'm not sure. I have two theories. I think Zanny could either be Amy or Jesse at this point," she told them.

Wrecker Service Manager Describes "Pungent" Smell In Casey's Towed Car
POSTED: 4:57 pm EDT September 26, 2008
UPDATED: 5:45 pm EDT September 26, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The manager of the wrecking yard where Casey Anthony's car was towed knew something just wasn't right. As soon as he opened the car, he told investigators, he became suspicious, but it's when he opened the trunk that he became concerned.
Simon Burch told investigators the smell was unbearable and that it didn't smell like garbage. He didn't want to go on camera Friday and talk about the case, but the transcript of his interview with investigators, released Friday, reveals some interesting information about Casey Anthony's car (read full transcript).
Casey Anthony's car was towed to Johnson Wrecker Service Narcoosee Road location at the end of June, a couple of weeks after Caylee was last seen by family and friends. According to the interview transcripts, operations manager Simon Burch started taking notice when George and Cindy Anthony picked up the car July 15.
Burch said there was "bickering … between the two of them." Burch told investigators George Anthony even told him, "I apologize. We'll probably get divorced over this. The daughter is telling us crap, a bunch of lies."
When George opened the car doors, Burch told investigators, "The smell was pungent. I mean it was, it knocked me back."
Just moments before, Burch said, George had been telling him about his missing granddaughter. When they finally opened the trunk, it was even worse.
"In the back of my head I'm going that doesn't smell like rotten garbage. You know I know what rotten garbage smells like," he told investigators. "A flash went through my mind and I went oh, my God, you know, she's in the trunk."
But Caylee wasn't. There was just a light-weight garbage bag that Burch threw in a dumpster.
Then, later that night, Johnson's Wrecker Service was called to tow the car from the Anthony home to the sheriff's office. The next morning, after he saw the Anthonys on the television, Burch called investigators and went back to the dumpster to dig out that bag, but he found out sheriff's deputies had already taken it.

Cindy Anthony Talks To Investigators About Zanny, Caylee In Newly Released Interview
POSTED: 4:35 pm EDT September 26, 2008
UPDATED: 6:04 pm EDT September 26, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- It was a grueling two-hour interview with Cindy Anthony, where she frequently interrupted and dodged investigators' questions. It ended with them begging her to stop misleading the public, because it was hurting their search for Caylee.
Cindy told a whole new story about where Casey was the first week Caylee was gone during the interview with investigators on August 1. Cindy Anthony relayed to detectives a totally different story Casey told her about where she and Caylee were the week after Caylee had last been seen. Casey said she was working long hours, staying at the Hard Rock Hotel near Universal and at Busch Gardens, where she and the nanny took Caylee on Sunday, then Zanny had a car accident on the way home.
"Zanny had a concussion," Cindy told investigators.
Cindy said she doesn't believe any of it now and that she doesn't believe Caylee was with Zanny.
"I think that Zanny, at this point, was a real person in the beginning, but I think Zanny is now whoever's watching Caylee," Cindy said.
"Do you think we're spinning our wheels looking for a Zanny?" an investigator asked.
"I'm not sure. I have two theories. I think Zanny could either be Amy or Jesse at this point," she told them.
Cindy blamed Caylee's disappearance on Casey's ex-fiance Jesse Grund, who investigators say is not a suspect.
Detective Yuri Melich pressed Cindy, as he held her hand, to stop changing her story, because it's hurting their effort to find Caylee.
"I can't stand in front of a newscast and say everything you've told us so far is the same thing that we've said all along, because I can't say that because you've changed it," he told her.
"Are you looking for a live Caylee or a dead Caylee, Yuri?" Cindy asked.
"We're looking for Caylee, Cindy, because we don't know where Caylee is," he replied. "I can't overlook certain things that exist. I can't."
"She's not a murderer. One thing I know is she loves that child," Cindy said.
But detective Yuri Melich confronted Cindy about withholding evidence that could lead to Caylee.
"I asked you for your credit card records. I still don't have it," Melich said.
"I gave you receipts," Cindy replied.
"You can't hold it back," Melich said.
Cindy apparently held back information about Casey borrowing her SUV at the end of June, around the time Casey claimed George had hit an animal with her car causing the horrible odor.
"Casey borrowed your green truck, George followed her and asked you and said she had borrowed your truck," Melich said.
"I don't know," Cindy told him.
"If she walks in today, we'll be here with our tails between our legs, but we have to ask why," investigator Eric Edwards told Cindy.
Cindy Anthony also told detectives that Caylee's father is an old friend of Casey's from school who moved to Tennessee or Kentucky and later died. She said it was a one night thing when both were going through a rough patch and she only remembers his first name was Eric.

GLIMPSES OF CASEY
WHAT'S THE BIG PICTURE?
George and Cindy Anthony were fed up with their 22-year-old daughter's evasiveness and desperate to see their granddaughter weeks before the world learned Caylee Marie was missing.
George Anthony raced after his daughter on a crowded highway only to lose her several miles away from their home. Cindy Anthony went to Universal Studios in early July in hopes of spotting the toddler.
But none of their attempts brought Caylee home.
These are some of the latest details that emerged from nearly 650 pages of legal documents and recorded interviews with her parents and friends released Friday by the State Attorney's Office.

Excerpt: NeJame did admit that Cindy does frequent several websites, not just this one, that have strong vocal opinions about Casey Anthony. He advised her not to look at those, but does she listen? No. She has no legal ground to sue anyone, so other websites need not worry. Seems Cindy is a fan of three particular sites, TheDailyBS.com, Websleuths.com, & DreaminDemon.com, which are all great websites. I think Cindy should join in, maybe a have a comment or two, instead of lurking. I don’t always agree with forum discussions or members, however, I do agree that websites have a right to say what they want to say, period.

Beary says sheriff's office is working to solve Caylee's disappearance
11:48 a.m.: The Orange County Sheriff's Office is doing everything possible to solve the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony, Sheriff Kevin Beary said this morning when questioned by reporters after an unrelated press conference.
The child's mother, Casey Anthony, continues to be the lone "person of interest" in the investigation that Beary also acknowledged had played out daily in the national news.
Beary declined comment on what his investigators are doing in conjunction with the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office to prepare a case. His staff is working closely with prosecutors, he said.
"You might say it's a challenge," said Beary, referring to the investigation's complexity.
Sheriff's officials are meeting at 4 p.m. today to discuss strategy in the case, particularly in terms of patrolling the neighborhood where protesters regularly gather outside the house where Casey Anthony has been living with her parents.
Casey Anthony faces a bevy of charges, including child neglect and check fraud.

FROM THE SEPT. 28 PRINT EDITION OF THE ORLANDO SENTINEL
By Robyn Shelton
Sentinel Staff Writer
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder, about 30 people bowed their heads in prayer Sunday outside the home of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony.
It was the Anthony family's weekly vigil, which had been canceled last week after scuffles between family members and protesters. Bathed in lights from television cameras, neighbors accepted candles from Cindy Anthony, the girl's grandmother.
They sang, prayed and asked God to help the Anthony family endure hostility from others and the sadness of not knowing Caylee's whereabouts. The toddler has been missing since June and her mother, Casey Anthony, is a person of interest in the case.
"We know you are out there somewhere. Caylee, wherever you are, we promise you will be back in our arms real soon," Cindy Anthony said.
A handful of protesters held signs across the street and taunted the supporters.
"She's dead, Cindy, give her justice," one shouted.
The protesters also called for Casey Anthony, 22, to emerge from the house. But there was no sign of her during the 45-minute gathering.

Zenaida Gonzalez Tells Channel 9 "My World Has Been Turned Upside-Down"
POSTED: 8:44 am EDT September 29, 2008
UPDATED: 1:28 pm EDT September 29, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The woman Casey Anthony says last had Caylee Anthony says the accusation has turned her world upside down. Channel Nine's Mary Nguyen spoke with Zenaida Gonzalez at the RDV complex in Maitland on Monday morning.
Zenaida Gonzalez is the woman who Casey Anthony claims took 3-year-old Caylee. She said, ever since Casey Anthony told authorities that Gonzalez lived at the Sawgrass Apartments and took care of Caylee, her world has been turned upside down.
"I also do have those threatening phone calls at 2:00 or 3:00am, threatening my kids, threatening myself," Gonzalez said.
For the first time, Zenaida Gonzalez revealed her face to the public. Gonzalez is a single mother of six and says she is having a hard time coping. She wants everyone to know that she is innocent.
"To clear my name, to get some type of closure. I want the truth to come out. I want them to know that I didn't do anything wrong, "said Gonzalez.
When Caylee Anthony was reported missing, Casey told detectives the last time she saw her daughter was when she dropped her off at the Sawgrass Apartments. She said she left her with a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez.
Gonzalez said she never met Casey Anthony. She took a tour of the apartment complex earlier in the year, but that's the only connection she has to them.
Detectives believe Casey made up the name, but Gonzalez says people all over the country are blaming her for Caylee's disappearance.
"They call me bad words right from the beginning and tell me they are going to do bad things to my daughters for what I did to little Casey, I mean Caylee," she said.
Gonzalez and her Attorney John Morgan filed a civil lawsuit last week. They said they want her name cleared.
Zenaida said that she has been fired from her job and due to the incident; no one wants to hire her. Gonzalez also said she just got of the hospital on Sunday because of a bleeding ulcer.
SUPPORTERS JOIN ANTHONYS FOR CAYLEE VIGIL
While supporters of the Anthony family prayed for Caylee Sunday night, a handful of protesters stood across the street and tried to disrupt Sunday night's vigil. Their efforts, though didn’t keep Cindy Anthony from reading a poem.
"Caylee where ever you are, we promise you that you will be back in our arms real soon. There is nothing more important Caylee, than bringing you home," Cindy read.
It’s the same poem she wanted to read last Sunday night, but couldn’t. The Anthony family cancelled last week’s vigil to try to bring back the peace and quite that disappeared from the Hopespring Drive neighborhood soon after the child’s mother, Casey reported her missing.
"When it got cancelled due to things like that, it's just sad that we can't hold a fifteen minute vigil for a child who's missing," said supporter Darlene Schmidt.
The Anthony’s held the vigil because they thought that with the help of security and hired private investigators, the turmoil on their street had calmed down.
Meanwhile, Casey Anthony will be out of the house again for her weekly appointment with a home confinement manager.

'Baby Sitter' In Anthony Case Reveals Face In Fight To Clear Name
POSTED: 11:59 am EDT September 29, 2008
UPDATED: 12:38 pm EDT September 29, 2008
http://i36.tinypic.com/14mz80j.jpg
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A woman who Casey Anthony named as her missing daughter's baby sitter, Zenaida Gonzalez, revealed her identity as she fights to clear her name and end the death threats.
When Local 6 first tracked down Zenaida Gonzalez nearly two months ago she wanted her identity concealed. However, Gonzalez is now revealing her identity to the world.
She said she is fighting back against Casey Anthony.
"I won't even be able to trust them," Gonzalez said. "I don't trust that family point blank as it is right now because my name is involved."
Gonzalez is now represented by high-profile attorney John Morgan.
They have filed a defamation lawsuit again Casey Anthony for giving deputies Gonzalez's name, Local 6 reported..
"(Casey Anthony) made a mistake when she pulled that name because Zenaida -- through us -- is going to push back," Morgan said.
Anthony told authorities that Caylee was last seen with Gonzalez.
"It was a lie," Morgan said. "It was false and it was slander."
Gonzalez has said she has been threatened by people to return Caylee -- or else.
"(It) has been stressful," Gonzalez said. "I've never been through a situation like this."
Gonzalez said she is having health problems and was hospitalized over the weekend for an ulcer.
Beary Meets About Protesters
Meanwhile, Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary is meeting with county legal and public safety teams to come up with a strategy to deal with protesters showing up daily in front of the Anthony home.
"If I had my way of doing it, I'd set it up like we have in other areas in this county," Beary said. "You have a protest location and you let this community get back to some normal function. That would probably stop the violence."
No details have been announced as to where the demonstrators will be moved located, Local 6 reported.
Caylee was last seen in June. A national search continues.

Another week, another vigil at Anthony home
Last Edited: Monday, 29 Sep 2008, 5:44 AM EDT
Created: Sunday, 28 Sep 2008, 11:38 PM EDT
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Anthony Family held a vigil for missing 3-year-old Caylee Marie outside of their East Orange County home Sunday night.
The family canceled last week's vigil because they felt unsafe. Deputies had to respond to Hopespring Drive numerous times, because of the way protesters were behaving. Some protesters threw coins at the house, while others provoked confrontations with the Anthony Family.
http://i36.tinypic.com/2wlrb7p.jpg
Some of the confrontations became physical. In the past week. there has been much less activity outside the house. Sunday afternoon, the family's spokesperson sent word about the vigil and in a message to the media , wrote:
"The family is appreciative of the respect that has been given to them recently, and feels that the vigil should be resumed."
When speaking during Sunday night's gathering, George Anthony, promised that he was done lashing out at the protesters "who hold signs and yell from across the street." Anthony addressed tonight's protesters telling them that he loves them just not as much as he loves his family.
Cindy Anthony had a different message. Her message was for Caylee. She read a poem, then appeared to speak from her heart. She said Caylee's room is just as she left it, with the exception of there being a lot more toys.
Casey Anthony remained inside the house during the vigil. She has a meeting scheduled with her home confinement manager Monday.
Throughout the day before the vigil, children played in their yards and rode bikes on the sidewalk in the neighborhood. For weeks, homeowners kept their children inside, because of increased traffic and clashes between protesters and people who support the Anthony's.
All of that changed Sunday night, when the protesters returned. Deputies were called when someone used some profanity during the vigil. Deputies reminded protesters to consider other homeowners in the area and the vigil continued without any major interruptions.

Prayer Vigils For Caylee Resume
Sunday, September 28, 2008 10:56:38 PM
ORANGE COUNTY -- After a one week hiatus, the family of 3-year-old Caylee Anthony resumed their weekly prayer vigils for the missing toddler Sunday night, but not without protests.
Deputies told a small group of protesters to quiet down after they shouted, and sometimes swore, at the crowd gathered outside the Anthony home on Hopespring Drive.
The vigil on Sept. 21 was cancelled out of fears of security at the home. However, the family said they've recently been given more of what they call "respect."

Beary Opposes More Deputies At Anthony Home
Meeting Slated For 4 P.M.
POSTED: 12:48 pm EDT September 29, 2008
UPDATED: 2:22 pm EDT September 29, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary made it known on Monday that he is not on board with a plan being pushed by neighbors of the Anthonys.
Protests have escalated into violence multiple times outside the East Orange County home of Cindy, George and Casey Anthony.
Casey Anthony, mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, has been in and out of jail for several weeks since her daughter was reported missing.
Fed up with the media’s presence and constant protests, neighbors want more police protection in the area. The extra presence would come in the form of Orange County deputies.
Beary disagrees, citing that he doesn’t want to give one neighborhood presence over another.
“I have concerns because we don’t do that in any other section of the county, and we’ve had to put people out there to calm things down, and quite frankly one of the things I’m hoping we get here soon is some court relief because I think the neighborhood deserves to get back to some kind of normal standard,” Beary said.
Beary plans to meet with the county attorney Wednesday at 4 p.m. to discuss the issue.
The Orange County Sheriff also commented on the search for Caylee and what a difficult case it has been. He called it “involved, unique and very taxing for his department.”

Judge Denies Motion To Move Anthony Protesters
Meanwhile, Beary Opposes More Deputies At Anthony Home
POSTED: 12:48 pm EDT September 29, 2008
UPDATED: 3:52 pm EDT September 29, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A judge again has again a homeowners association’s motion for an injunction that would control when and where people could demonstrate outside the Anthony home.
As with the group’s first motion, this one failed on Monday because of inadequate notice to groups who might be impacted by the change.
But Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Z. MacKinnon denied the motion without prejudice, so it can be amended and filed again. (Read the complete ruling)
“There should be no mistake that the Court’s action is not a license to protestors or the Anthonys to do what they want, where they want, whenever they want,” MacKinnon wrote.

Anthonys' neighborhood loses bid to limit protesters
3:45 p.m.: The neighborhood where the Anthony family live lost its bid to today to keep protesters out.
Orange Circuit Judge Cynthia Mackinnon denied Chickasaw Oaks Phase Three subdivision's request for a temporary injunction.
The homeowners association wanted the judge to order protesters to move to a vacant lot at the end of Hopespring Drive -- hundreds of feet north of George and Cindy Anthony's home. Dozens of protesters have gathered outside the home since Casey Anthony was released from jail earlier this month.
In a 20-page decision, MacKinnon wrote how the homeowners association again failed to adequately notify the protesters of the pleading -- giving protesters time to defend themselves against the allegations. The neighborhood tried to notify some of the protesters by handing out a notice of a hearing and posting signs on unknown number of mailboxes. It's unclear how many notices were handed out or whether any protesters actually received the information, the judge wrote.
"That the residence of Chickasaw Oaks Phase Three have endured inconvenience throughout this saga cannot be denied," MacKinnon concluded. "There should be no mistake that the Court's action is not a license to protesters or the Anthonys to do what they want, where they want, whenever they want. There is no First Amendment right to trespass, litter or inflict violence on another, and law enforcement personnel need not feel hamstrung in dealing with such activities."
The judge will allow the HOA to file another request for a temporary injunction if they want.
Beary says sheriff's office is working to solve Caylee's disappearance
11:48 a.m.: The Orange County Sheriff's Office is doing everything possible to solve the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony, Sheriff Kevin Beary said this morning when questioned by reporters after an unrelated press conference.
The child's mother, Casey Anthony, continues to be the lone "person of interest" in the investigation that Beary also acknowledged had played out daily in the national news.
Beary declined comment on what his investigators are doing in conjunction with the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office to prepare a case. His staff is working closely with prosecutors, he said.

Protecting the Anthony family from protesters
Last Edited: Monday, 29 Sep 2008, 6:07 PM EDT
Created: Monday, 29 Sep 2008, 5:31 PM EDT
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- It's nearing 100 days now since Caylee Anthony has been seen alive. It seems like the developments in the case revolve around everything but the search for Caylee. Now the focus is on how Orange County is paying to protect the Anthony family from protesters.
For weeks, protestors have shown up at the Anthony home damaging grass, starting fights and making a scene with no relief from the courts or law enforcement.
But that might change. The sheriff, the county and legal teams are meeting to try and find the best way for everyone to get along out there.
One of the biggest questions: will off-duty deputies sit out in the Anthony neighborhood or not.
On Monday as Casey Anthony left her house, the neighborhood was quiet with no protesters around and only a few passerbys but there is still concern. Commissioner Linda Stewart issued this statement: “Because of the significant disruption to the lives of the neighbors, I am still concerned about the safety and well being of the entire neighborhood
But putting off duty-deputies outside the home at taxpayer expense is touchy ground. “I have concerns because we don't do that in any other section of the county and we've had to put people out there to calm things down. I am hoping we get some court relief. Right now that does not look like it's going to happen. It's being denied, denied, denied,” said Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary.
Off duty deputies only one option, some other options on the table:
-wait for that a court ordered injunction and do nothing
-put in place a designated protest area
-implement a curfew
-the county could also decide to put a new county ordinance in place that would not only protect the neighborhood but others.
But deputies may be the quickest solution. It will cost someone and right now there is serious consideration of sharing the cost of that coverage.
One option that is not on the table at least from the commissioners is why the HOA doesn't pay for the deputies themselves.
The investigation
Sheriff Beary says they are waiting for a few pieces of evidence to come back from the FBI. He says that just doesn't happen over night. He also said they are being so careful right now because they are afraid to make a mistake since detectives may someday have to work a homicide case without a body.

Mark NeJame - the attorney for George and Cindy Anthony - has posted the documents on the www.helpfindcaylee.com site for those who want to seek more information.
This comes after several bloggers on the Web have doubted how the money in the trust fund was being used. Some suggested the family was using the donated money for reasons other than searching for the three-year-old.

Anthony neighbors look to Orange County commissioner for help with protesters
Sarah Lundy and Walter Pacheco | Sentinel Staff Writers
6:31 PM EDT, September 30, 2008
TODAY'S UPDATES:
Homeowners look to Orange County government for help
9:10 a.m. The attorney representing the Chickasaw Oaks Phase Three homeowners association said residents are meeting with Orange County Commissioner Mildred Fernandez this morning to discuss a solution to keep the dozens of protesters from gathering daily outside the Anthonys' Hopespring Drive home.
Karen Wonsetler represents the 120-plus homeowners in the neighborhood who are tired of the noise and increased traffic caused by the protesters. She says residents do not have the means to control them.
"Obviously the [homeowners association] is disappointed," Wonsetler said. "We do not have the resources to hire an investigator to identify the protesters and then to summons and serve them. The protesters change every day."
Fernandez, who represents District 3 and not the district that includes Chickasaw Oaks Phase Three subdivision, became involved after she attended a meeting with sheriff's deputies and residents about the disruptions caused by the protesters.
In a memo to Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty, she suggests that the Orange County Sheriff's Office assign a deputy to stand outside the Anthonys' house.
---------------------------------- FROM THE SEPT. 30 PRINT EDITION OF THE ORLANDO SENTINEL
The neighborhood where Casey Anthony lives lost its latest bid Monday to keep protesters away, while county officials continued to search for remedies to public outrage over the woman's missing child.
Homeowners from Chickasaw Oaks Phase Three wanted a judge to restrict protesters to a vacant lot at the end of Hopespring Drive -- hundreds of feet north of the home Anthony shares with her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.
In a 20-page decision, Circuit Judge Cynthia MacKinnon wrote that the homeowners association had failed again to adequately notify the protesters so they could defend themselves in the court proceeding.
The neighborhood tried to notify some of the protesters by handing out a notice of a hearing and posting signs on a number of mailboxes. It's unclear how many notices were handed out or whether any protesters received the information, the judge wrote.

Casey Anthony's arraignment for check fraud rescheduled
3:21 p.m.: Casey Anthony's arraignment for check fraud -- initially set for Thursday -- has been rescheduled for Oct. 14 before Judge Stan Strickland.
Her attorney, Jose Baez, has already filed a written plea of not guilty on the check fraud charges. That means neither she nor her attorney will appear in court on Oct. 14 and Strickland will set later pre-trial and trial dates.
Those dates will probably be set for the same days as Anthony's other case for child neglect. So far, prosecutors have charged Anthony with 13 counts, including child neglect and check fraud.

Anthony has been arrested several times in recent weeks for various check fraud charges.
The charges are in addition to the child neglect charges she's faces in connection with her missing daughter Caylee.
The toddler hasn't been seen in months.

Witness List Released In Casey Anthony Case
Sheriff's Officials Decide Anthonys Should Hold Vigils Inside
POSTED: 12:48 pm EDT September 29, 2008
UPDATED: 6:08 pm EDT October 1, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orange County Sheriff's Department has announced Monday after a meeting that they are asking the Anthony family to hold their weekly vigil service inside the home or in the back yard.
Sheriff officials said it is the most effective way to brunt the impact of protesters outside the home.
The state also released a list of witnesses who may be called to the stand if Casey Anthony, mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, is charged.
There are 85 names on the witness list including Anthony's own family and Zenaida Gonzalez -- the woman who said Casey and the Anthonys ruined her life by naming her as the baby sitter who disappeared with Caylee.
The questions persist about if Casey Anthony will be charged in connection with Caylee's disappearance.
Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary gave a detailed response on Monday.
Before and after a meeting with her home confinement manager, Casey Anthony again would not answer questions about her daughter Caylee's whereabouts.
"It makes me mad God would put children in the hands if people like that," one parent said.
"It's a very sensitive case and it always is tough and if you end up going down that path of working a homicide case without a body, it’s even tougher," Beary said.
Beary said this is one of the most difficult cases he's faced in his 16 years as sheriff. He said his team wants to get it right the first time.
Earlier on Monday, a judge again denied a homeowners association's motion for an injunction that would control when and where people could demonstrate outside the Anthony home.
As with the group's first motion, this one failed because of inadequate notice to groups who might be impacted by the change.
But Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Z. MacKinnon denied the motion without prejudice, so it can be amended and filed again. (Read the complete ruling)
“There should be no mistake that the Court’s action is not a license to protestors or the Anthonys to do what they want, where they want, whenever they want,” MacKinnon wrote.

Casey Anthony Officially Called 'Suspect'
Sheriff's Office Says She Is Only One Who Can Lead Them To Caylee
POSTED: 4:02 pm EDT October 1, 2008
UPDATED: 6:34 pm EDT October 1, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony is the first -- and so far only -- person to be called a suspect in her daughter Caylee’s disappearance, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office told WESH 2 News on Wednesday.
She is the only one who can lead investigators to the truth about what happened to Caylee, who has been missing for 79 days, an agency spokesman said.
Until now, investigators did not call Casey Anthony a suspect, usually calling her a “person of interest.”
But Capt. Angelo Nieves of the sheriff’s office said Casey Anthony is a suspect because of the evidence the agency has received from the FBI indicating there was a high probability that Caylee’s body was in her mother's trunk. He also said she has repeatedly lied to investigators.
“Well, she was the last person to person to see her daughter, and we are continuing to follow up on this information, and granted she would be a suspect,” Nieves said.
Casey Anthony is out on bond on a variety of charges, from child neglect to check fraud. She initially told investigators her daughter was last with a babysitter.
Attorney Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s attorney, said it doesn’t make a difference whether investigators call her a “person of interest” or a “suspect.” He declined a request for a further interview.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The family of missing toddler Caylee Anthony is ready to negotiate with some angry neighbors.
They agreed to move their Sunday night prayer vigils away from their home.
Homeowners in the neighborhood where the Anthonys live went before Orange County commissioners on Tuesday in search of help.
The commission agreed things had gotten out of hand outside the family's home, but a request to hire off-duty deputies to patrol the neighborhood was defeated.
Instead, the Orange County Sheriff's Office will place two on-duty deputies at the home during prime-time hours.
"We've pulled those deputies out of the violent crime areas, so there is a cost to this of more than just money. We're doing the best we can and responding to every call out there," Sgt. Mike Crab said.
Casey Anthony is expected to travel to her attorney's office at around 10 a.m. Wednesday.

You'll notice I have reverted back to describing Caylee as two years old, rather than three, as several other outlets and I had been doing since her birthday on August 9th. This has been a subconscious move on my part. I'm not really sure why I've been doing it. I want to believe that she could have made it to her third birthday, but, perhaps, I am all too certain that she did not. As a result, I will refer to her as two years old again.
With that said ... In case you haven't heard about it, there is a petition circulating in response to rumors that the Anthony family has been offered a large sum of money for a movie deal. The petition, which is located at Thepetitionsite.com, reads in part:

Two New Areas Being Checked In Search For Caylee Anthony
POSTED: 5:13 pm EDT October 2, 2008
UPDATED: 6:12 pm EDT October 2, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Eyewitness News has learned detectives have been searching for the body of Caylee Anthony in two more places in east Orange County. Caylee was reported missing 78 days ago. Detectives say she is dead and that at one point her body was in the trunk of her mom's car.
Both wooded areas they're searching are not far from where Casey Anthony lives with her parents. One is near the Amscot at Goldenrod and Highway 50 where Casey abandoned her car in late June. Investigators have searched the area more than once with cadaver dogs.
The other area is closer to Orlando International Airport, where a driver told investigators she saw a car like Casey's white Pontiac Sunfire parked in the median days after Caylee disappeared and she saw someone slight of build wearing a baseball cap and what looked like athletic wear walk out of the woods, someone she believes could have been Casey. It was odd to her because it's not a popular spot for joggers.
Thursday, Casey's attorney said it's not in her best interest to tell what she knows about where Caylee is.
"It does her no good to show her cards to give the prosecution any advantage they have to put her away for life," Jose Baez said.
Judging by what he said, it would seem that Casey would get herself into trouble by telling what she knows about Caylee's whereabouts.
"Casey, tell the truth. It's not about you anymore," said Jesse Grund, Casey's ex-fiance.
Grund shot back at Casey's mother Cindy, who told investigators he's involved in Caylee's disappearance. He said when Casey and Cindy patched things up, Casey's maternal instinct withered away.
"Stop destroying people's lives and tell the truth. What happened to Caylee?" Grund said.
The sheriff's office says it has no idea how many times investigators have searched for Caylee over the last two and a half months or how much it's costing taxpayers. The helicopter alone costs $500 an hour every time it goes up.

Deputies call Casey Anthony a 'suspect' in case
Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writer
October 3, 2008
For the first time, Casey Anthony has been labeled a suspect in her daughter's disappearance.
Anthony, 22, was previously called a "person of interest" by investigators looking into what happened to 3-year-old Caylee Marie.
Sheriff's spokesman Capt. Angelo Nieves said Thursday there was no new evidence to prompt the change -- just a culmination of several factors, including Anthony's persistent deception.
He cited "the subsequent totality of those deceptive responses, lies, uncooperativeness, coupled with the investigative efforts that are still ongoing in this investigation, cause her to be a suspect in the continuing missing-person investigation," in an e-mail to the Orlando Sentinel explaining the change.
A person of interest is someone law enforcement wants to speak to in order to provide information about a case, Nieves said. A suspect is someone who is thought to have been involved in crime.
"Her information has been suspect since we began this investigation," Nieves said. "This is a person who has been uncooperative since the first day."
The child was reported missing July 15, but Anthony told detectives that she hasn't seen Caylee since mid-June, when she said she left her daughter with a baby sitter.
Detectives have not been able to find the baby sitter and question whether she exists.
Deputies also have suggested that the child may be dead.
During a bond hearing in July, Detective Yuri Melich, the lead investigator on the case, called Anthony a person of interest for the first time.
She became a suspect this week.
"Over the past two and half months, we have been diligently working to resolve the case of the missing child," Nieves said. "The information she has provided has proven to be false."
Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Children and Families confirmed Thursday it has concluded its investigation related to Caylee's disappearance.
DCF spokeswoman Carrie Hoeppner said the agency's findings have been given to the Sheriff's Office, but she did not say what those findings were.
"The information obtained in the investigation does not meet the criteria for release at this time," she said in an e-mail.
DCF's role in the case remains "very limited," she said.
A spokesman for Anthony's attorney said calling Anthony a suspect is ridiculous.
"They won't say what she is suspecting of doing?" said Todd Black, a spokesman for Anthony's attorney, Jos&#eacute; Baez. "A suspect in [her child's] disappearance means that she left her child with a baby sitter?"
The Anthony family could not be reached for comment.
Anyone with information about the child's whereabouts is encouraged to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

Cadaver Dogs Used To Search Wooded Areas For Caylee Anthony
POSTED: 5:13 pm EDT October 2, 2008

Veteran Investigator: Casey Anthony 'One Of Toughest He's Ever Come In Contact With'
Sheriff: New Evidence Coming
POSTED: 9:25 am EDT October 4, 2008
UPDATED: 10:25 am EDT October 4, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A veteran investigator in the case of missing Caylee Anthony describes the child's mother as one of the toughest individuals he's ever run into, according to Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary.
Casey Anthony, who is the only person named as a suspect in her daughter's disappearance, has provided what investigators have called "deceptive responses" in connection with the case.
In an exclusive interview with Local 6, Beary said lead detective Sgt. John Allen has described Casey Anthony's attitude.
"I've had some very experienced people working on this case and Sgt. John Allen is one of those," Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said. "Sgt. Allen said that's one of the toughest individuals he's ever come in contact with when it comes to attitude and as you called the poker face."
"In your heart, do you believe (Caylee) is gone -- she is dead?" Local 6's Mike Holfeld said.
"Well, my dad-instinct says you never want to give up," Beary said. "But the way the evidence is looking, that's probably what's going to be down the road."
"She's gone?" Holfeld said.
"She's gone," Beary said. "Every day that passes, everything in your gut instinct tells you we're not going to find that child -- at least not alive."
Evidence from the trunk of Anthony's 1998 Pontiac included traces of chloroform and DNA pointing to a body in the vehicle. Also, hair in the trunk was linked to the missing 3-year-old, Local 6 reported.
"You know, we know that something's wrong," Beary said. "We know something happened and that's why we are still building the evidential case for the future."
Bear said the evidence could play a criminal court showdown with Casey Anthony, Holfeld reported.
"Well, Florida has laws on the books like that," Beary said. "I think before anybody does anything, the state attorney, the sheriff's office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI will make sure that if that is the scenario, we will have all our ducks in a row for a good solid case."
Beary said that additional evidence is coming but he has asked investigators not to brief him until they are ready to release it.
The sheriff also said that he is hopeful that the case will come to a close before he leaves office in less than three months.
A national search continues for missing Caylee Anthony.

Hearing set to discuss motions in case against Casey Anthony
(Excerpt)
The motions are:
* Defense wants the state to release all records about its investigation into Zenaida Gonzalez.
* Defense wants Anthony - who is on home confinement - to be able to visit "key points of interest in the case" to help in the search for her daughter. Baez is requesting that her travels not be made public.

* Defense wants to inspect the polygraph exams that have or will be given to anyone related to the case.
* Defense is asking for the flight manifest of Air Tran flight 862 that flew from Orlando to Atlanta on July 2. Someone reported seeing Caylee on the plane. (Investigators later located the child and the toddler was not Caylee.)
* Defense wants to the state to turn over results of forensic testing, including testing on traces of chloroform allegedly found in Anthony's car and any documentation about the air sample testing done at the Body Farm at the University of Tennessee. (Authorities reported the samples showed at some point there was a decomposing body in the trunk.)
* Defense wants to be able to inspect digital forensic evidence, such as computer hard drives, cell phones, SIM cards and media cards.
* Defense wants the state to stop testing and handling forensic evidence until the court rules on how the testing will proceed.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- A hearing is scheduled to take place Friday regarding evidence in the Casey Anthony case. Circuit Judge Stan Strickland will hear eight motions related to the case at 10:30 a.m. at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando.
Anthony’s attorney Jose Baez filed several motions.

He also filed a motion to inspect, test, and photograph evidence that the state has as well as who has taken polygraph tests and what the results of the test show.
Another motion is requesting all records of the investigation conducted by the Department of Children and Families.
Baez is also asking for all records pertaining to Zenaida Gonzalez who Casey Anthony claims to have left Caylee with and a copy of the July 2, 2008 fight manifest from AirTran Flight 862. Early on in the case a witness claims to have seen a young girl matching Caylee’s description on that flight.

Casey Anthony Wants To Search For Caylee Without Public Knowing Details
POSTED: 1:12 pm EDT October 6, 2008
UPDATED: 5:28 pm EDT October 6, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Caylee Anthony has been reported missing for 82 days now and detectives say she's dead, but now her mother is taking some interest in searching for her.
The revelation came from court papers filed by Casey Anthony's attorney Monday (read motions). Jose Baez wants all kinds of reports and documents, from lab tests, polygraphs, her computer and phone records, and he even wants training records of the officers and service records for the equipment.
Casey spent Monday afternoon at her attorney's office after checking in with her case manager at the jail. She strutted away from her meeting with her case manager at the jail Monday, with no sunglasses and heavy eye makeup.
"Why did you wait four months before deciding you want to look for Caylee?" WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Casey as she left her meeting.
:mad:Casey's attorney hopes to convince Circuit Judge Stan Strickland on Friday to allow Casey to travel secretly to "places of interest" in the case to "assist with the search of missing child, Caylee Anthony." But Baez also asks in the motion that "due to the sensitive nature of this Motion, the Defense requests that the date and time of such travel not be public."
One of the reasons Casey is on house arrest for child neglect is because she did nothing to find her daughter and apparently still hasn't.
Anthony's attorney also wants access to the evidence from the car Casey was driving when Caylee disappeared. He's trying to pull that evidence into the child neglect case so his expert can get to it.
In the motion, Baez makes the following argument: "Certainly, evidence that the very daughter the defendant is accused of having neglected may have been dead in the trunk of the defendant's vehicle is a critical fact in a trial for child neglect."
Baez also wants records pertaining to any Zenaida Gonzalez investigators have questioned in their search for the alleged nanny.
Baez says he's entitled to all the information because Casey has suffered the public's hatred and that "law enforcement or the State Attorney's Office has successfully tried a homicide case against the defendant in the public eye."
Casey hasn't yet asked to go to Friday's hearing on the filed motions.

Search For Caylee Plans To Resume
Vigil Moved From Home To Church
POSTED: 8:56 am EDT October 6, 2008
UPDATED: 9:19 am EDT October 6, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A group from Texas plans to return to Central Florida to continue their search for missing toddlerCaylee Anthony.
EquuSearch specializes in finding the bodies of missing people.
Volunteers were in Central Florida in September, but they stopped the search because of wet conditions that made searching grassy areas difficult.
Caylee was reported missing more than two months ago.
Search officials said conditions have improved, and they plan to return to the area later in the week.
Meanwhile, the Anthony family moved their weekly prayer vigil. Instead of holding it outside their Orange County home, they gathered with supporters at a church.
The family wanted to avoid protesters who have caused problems outside their home.
The Anthonys chose not to name the church location to avoid interruptions.

Casey Anthony Wants to Travel
Monday, October 6, 2008
Attorney says she wants to help search for her missing daughter Caylee.
Casey Anthony’s attorney wants her to travel. They have filed a motion in Orange County Court seeking permission to travel beyond her current confinement restraints, so Casey can reportedly help search for her missing daughter, 3-year-old Caylee Anthony. The toddler has been missing since mid-June. However, the youngster wasn’t reported as missing to authorities until mid-July. Casey Anthony has told authorities that Caylee was with a baby sitter. Anthony's family recently said that the baby sitter may have taken Caylee to Puerto Rico.
Joe Baez, attorney for Casey, Monday filed several other legal motions. One includes having access to his client’s car, so their own tests can be conducted. Another requests law enforcement hand over all forensic evidence regardless of whether prosecutors will use it. Casey is currently charged with child neglect in the case. The prosecution says it has evidence that indicated chloroform, hair samples and Caylee’s DNA were found in the trunk of the car. Baez also wants Orange County sheriff's detectives to hand over all information about any women named Zenaida Gonzalez. That's the name of the baby sitter Anthony told detectives she left Caylee with at an Orange County apartment complex in June. The Kissimmee woman is now suing Casey Anthony for defamation, saying her life is ruined.
Baez filed the following motions:
The state to release all records about its investigation into Zenaida Gonzalez.
A request for Anthony to be able to visit "key points of interest in the case" to help search for her daughter.
Release of records by the Department of Children and Families who conducted their own investigation.
An inspection of names of anyone who took a polygraph exam.
Records where a witness claims she saw Caylee boarding a flight out of Orlando to Atlanta July 2nd.
Results of all forensic testing.
Copies of anything taken from Anthony's computer, cell phone, and cameras.
Legal team to access Anthony's car, that remains in custody of Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Orange County Sheriff's Deputies bumped Casey Anthony up from a "person of interest" to officially the suspect in the case of her missing daughter last week.
Captain Angelo Nieves said there was no new evidence to cause investigators to start calling Anthony a suspect rather than a person of interest.
Nieves said investigators merely recognized the fact that Anthony had been the last person known to have seen Caylee alive; and that she had been singularly uncooperative in their investigation.

Analyst: Motion intends to portray Casey as grieving mother
Last Edited: Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008, 9:52 AM EDT
Created: Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008, 9:52 AM EDT
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- FOX 35’s Mike Dunston spoke with FOX News Senior Judicial Analyst Andrew Napolitano about the motions released yesterday that could allow Casey Anthony to leave her home and help search for her daughter, Caylee.
Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, requested that his client be allowed to visit key places. “I suggest that motion has been made for PR purposes so that she can telegraph to the public from among the 12 jurors who will try her, that she’s interested in finding the baby,” Napolitano said.
Napolitano said he believes the motions were filed as a ruse to get the public to think that Casey is a grieving mother. “Whether she’s grieving or not we may never know. Whether she really wants to find the child or not we may never know,” he added.
Baez also filed motions to obtain copies of inspection and forensic evidence from Casey’s computer, cell phone and car.
A motion is scheduled Friday to determine whether these motions will be granted or denied. The meeting is scheduled at 10:30 a.m. at the Orange County Courthouse.

Casey Anthony wants privacy and lots more
Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
October 7, 2008
Casey Anthony - out of jail on court-ordered home confinement -- wants a judge to let her visit "key points of interest" as part of the search for her missing 3-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.
She also would like Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland to keep her travel dates and times secret from the public.
These are two of nine requests from Anthony's lawyer that Strickland is scheduled to consider Friday at the Orange County Courthouse. It's unclear whether Anthony will attend.
Anthony, 22, has been charged with 13 felony counts, including child neglect, filing a false statement to law enforcement and various check-fraud charges, since reporting in July that her daughter disappeared in the care of a baby sitter named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.
Sheriff's investigators have not found the child, who according to her mother vanished in mid-June. They also have not located the baby sitter and question whether she exists.
Anthony has posted bail totaling more than $500,000 and is living at home with her parents in east Orange County. Every Monday, she visits her home-confinement officer to arrange her schedule for the week -- a report that is open to the public. Most of her time away from home is spent at the office of her attorney, Jose Baez.
Baez filed eight requests with the judge Friday. The ninth was filed last month.
Todd Black, a spokesman for Baez, said many of the requests result from media reports quoting unnamed sources about evidence in the case. For example, no one ever confirmed on the record that traces of chloroform were found inside the trunk of Anthony's car, but that information has appeared on TV and in the Orlando Sentinel.
The idea behind Anthony's requests is to get prosecutors and detectives to "tell the truth," Black said. "If you have a report from the FBI, show it. If you have a report from the Body Farm, show it."
The defense wants the state to turn over results of forensic testing, including testing on traces of chloroform supposedly found in Anthony's car and any documentation about the air-sample testing done at the Body Farm at the University of Tennessee.
Authorities reported the samples showed that the car trunk contained a decomposing body at one point.
In other documents, the defense says it wants:
*Access to the car, which is being held by the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Baez has hired his own defense expert to examine the vehicle in preparation for trial.
*Release of all records about the state's investigation into Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.
*Disclosure of records from the Department of Children and Families, which investigated the child-neglect issue.
*Permission to inspect the polygraph exams that have or will be given to anyone related to the case. This includes questions asked and answered and all reported conclusions from examinations.
*Access to the flight manifest of AirTran Airways Flight 862 that flew from Orlando to Atlanta on July 2. Someone reported seeing Caylee on the plane. Investigators, who got a copy of the manifest, later found that child was not Caylee.
*Approval to inspect digital forensic evidence, such as computer hard drives, cell phones, SIM cards and media cards.
*A halt to testing and handling of forensic evidence until the court rules on how the testing will proceed.
While Baez has been handling legal issues in the case, Black -- who is with a firm called Press Corps Media -- met with focus groups last weekend to gauge public opinion about the case. He said he was encouraged with the findings.
The main point he learned, he said, is that the public is tired of the case and no longer trusts the media.
He said he will issue a report to Baez, who may choose to use the findings to argue in favor of moving any trial on the charges to another city.

Last Update: 3:13 pm
ORANGE COUNTY, FL -- Casey Anthony's attorneys want a judge to approve a request that would allow them to take their client to places "of interest" so she can help look for her missing daughter, Caylee. They want to be able to do it in private and without public knowledge.

The Dana Pretzer Show On Scared Monkeys Radio - Sunday, October 5, 2008 - Guests Include Wendy Murphy Discussing the Caylee Anthony ~snip...
Wendy Murphy, former District Attorney, Law Professor, Sex Crimes expert and author of the book And Justice For Some: An Expose of the Lawyers and Judges Who let Dangerous Criminals Go Free discussing the Caylee Anthony case.
From the Show....
-Naming Casey as "suspect" is to just squeeze and put pressure on her.
-She thinks detectives know what happened to Caylee, but they don't know where the body is and who else might have been involved.
-Detectives want to get disclosure from Casey regarding who else is involved and/or details about where she abandoned the body.
-If they don't find out those two things, then they may not be able to prosecute her, just like in the Ramsey case where there was little info. LE knows what happened to Caylee but if they can't pin the murder on Casey alone, she might accuse any number of people and create reasonable doubt and walk.
-Wendy speculates there's something sexual involved, more than LE knows. Casey deleted a lot of pictures/photos of Caylee on computer, something fishy about that. Wendy thinks the photos reveal something sinister/sexual/pornographic, why else would Casey delete them considering there are loads of photos of Caylee around the house, etc.
-Interesting news story about a month ago: about right before Casey was re-arrested for the first time, there was a sex crimes detective showing up at the house. "What was a sex crimes guy doing there?" The news reporter was given a generic reason: "Oh, we're just reestablishing an old relationship/We're old friends". Wendy does not believe that, and asked a close family friend of the Anthonys about the incident. The Anthony family did not know the sex crimes detective. He wasn't an old friend. Wendy thinks it was a cover-up so the public would not scream "Oh, it was a sex crime case!"
-Wendy thinks there is going to be more evidence regarding sex crimes/photos.
-Wendy wants to know about drug testing on Caylee's hairs. Chloroform is sometimes used to sedate children in child pornography.
-Was this an accidental death from drugs involving pornography?
-So much more to this story.
-What kind of photos were deleted from computer? There are many ways to get that info. Wendy hopes there is more public disclosure.
-Real evidence may be kept close to the vest.
-LE may not be able to retrieve the body. LE wants to put pressure on Casey and drive her crazy so she will spill the beans. Wendy does not see Casey cracking. There is a lot of reward money, maybe someone will talk. LE might charge Casey with something other than murder, regarding pictures maybe. Without a body or more info, LE might not be able to charge full murder.

Baez Says Anthony Already Tried For Homicide
Mother Cindy Anthony Among Prosecution Witnesses
POSTED: 3:04 pm EDT October 7, 2008
UPDATED: 7:10 pm EDT October 7, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- In the words of the attorney for Casey Anthony, mother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, his client has already been tried for homicide in the public eye.
Jose Baez went on to say his client has suffered the public's hatred and watched her own privacy disintegrate.
On Friday, Baez will argue this motion that he's entitled to see the results of forensic tests done on the air, hair and a stain found in Anthony's car. Anthony will be able to accompany him.
In the court papers, he's trying to draw a connection between the child neglect charges Anthony is facing now and whatever charges the state may bring from ongoing forensic tests.
"Essentially, law enforcement or the state attorney's office has successfully tried a homicide case against the defendant in the public eye," Baez said.
He goes on to argue, "The defendant has suffered the public's hatred, the picketers calling her a murderer in front of her own home, the insensitive and scathing assaults by media shows, and the complete disintegration of her privacy without even having access to the same information the media systematically and exclusively receives from law enforcement about her case."
Baez argues that the only way to preserve fair administration of justice is for the state to turn over all the evidence it leaks to the media to the defense team as well.
Meanwhile, a spokesman or the state attorney's office also said that hundreds of pages of more evidence could be released in the case, including a video showing Anthony allegedly passing bad checks at a Target store.
The state's witness list has been released for that prosecution. The second name of 15 listed is Cindy Anthony, Casey Anthony's mother, making her the only member of the Anthony family to be named a prosecution witness in both pending criminal cases against her daughter.

County installs camera at Anthony home; Lawyer claims new lead
Last Edited: Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008, 8:33 PM EDT
Created: Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008, 5:46 PM EDT
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Caylee Marie Anthony has been missing for 12 weeks now. On Tuesday her mother's legal teams said they could be one step closer to find the missing 3-year-old.
And there are also now a permanent set of eyes on the Anthony's home.
The Orange County Sheriffs office told neighbors Tuesday they installed a surveillance camera on Hopespring Drive. It’s on a light pole and gives a bird’s eye view of the Anthony home. The HOA president said he was told it will allow deputies to record activities in front of the Anthony’s home if there are any more problems. It will also let them know if and when they need to dispatch deputies to Hopespring Drive.
The home has been the site of several confrontations between protestors, residents and the Anthony family. The homeowners association has tried unsuccessfully to get a court order banning people from the street outside the home. And County government is studying several ways to keep the peace while not infringing on protestors rights
Private investigators working for Anthony’s attorney Jose Baez are out of state following up on a lead they said is significant.
Jose Baez’s spokesperson Todd Black said their investigators are out of state talking to a man and getting pictures of the Zanaida Gonzalez Casey says took Caylee.
Black says the picture was taken at a park and has all involved parties in it: the woman they say is the Zanaida Fernandez Gonzalez, Casey and Caylee. No information at this point as to when this picture was taken.
And Black added they have been trying to find the man who has the picture for weeks and they just located him and got in touch with him.
Friday court hearing
Casey Anthony will be in court Friday. She asked for and was given permission from Orange County home confinement to go to the courthouse on Friday. Circuit Judge Stan Strickland will hear eight motions regarding evidence in the case at 10:30 a.m. at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando.

She will be allowed out of her family's Lee Vista-area home at 8:30 a.m. and must return by 4 p.m. She is also allowed to travel to defense attorney Jose Baez's office after the court proceedings.
Anthony wants a judge to let her visit "key points of interest" as part of the search for her missing daughter Caylee Marie. She also wants a judge to keep her travel dates and times secret from the public.
Those are two of nine requests from Baez that a judge will consider Friday morning.

Police to release documents, video related to Casey Anthony check fraud charges
Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
9:56 AM EDT, October 8, 2008
Prosecutors are expected to release documents and video this morning related to the check fraud charges against Casey Anthony - the mother of missing 3-year-old Caylee Marie.
The single mother is charged with 13 counts, including grand theft, forgery of a check and fraudulent use of personal identification. Authorities say Anthony took checks that belong to her friend, Amy Huizenga.
Anthony also is charged with child neglect and providing false information to law enforcement. This is connected to the disappearance of her daughter. Anthony told detectives that she last saw her daughter in mid-June when she left the girl with a babysitter. When she returned later that day to pick Caylee up, the toddler and nanny were gone. Her family reported Caylee missing a month later on July 15.
Investigators have not been able to find the babysitter and question whether she exists

Casey Anthony Caught On Video Buying Items With Allegedly Stolen Checks
POSTED: 11:38 am EDT October 8, 2008
UPDATED: 12:56 pm EDT October 8, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- New video released by the State Attorney's Office on Tuesday shows Casey Anthony making some very recognizable purchases at a Target store. A target security video shows Casey buying lingerie and the sunglasses she's often worn while walking in and out of her lawyer's office.

The video shows Casey at the checkout counter buying bras, camisoles, chemises and the big white sunglasses. The purchases also included a beret and even the light blue hoodie she was wearing the first time she was arrested
Investigators said Casey bought all of the goods at the Winter Park Target, six days before she was arrested in connection with the disappearance of her daughter Caylee, using a check stolen from her ex-best friend
The video also shows Casey walk out of the store while putting on another pair of large sunglasses.
Video from the downtown Orlando Bank of America, taken five days after the Target shopping spree, shows Casey at the teller's window presenting what investigators say is another stolen check from friend Amy Huizenga for $250 in cash.
The State Attorney's office also released more documents related to the case. The documents detail how Huizenga went to Puerto Rico and let Casey borrow her car. In a statement to the sheriff's office, Huizenga said she had left her checkbook in the glove compartment. When she returned home, she said she found her checking account depleted. She became suspicious of Casey after talking to Casey's mother, Cindy.
The sheriff's office report says at least five checks were written from Huizenga's account and they all had what appeared to be Casey Anthony's name and signature on them. The report indicates Casey was able to use her own identification to somehow write the checks on Huizenga's account. The checks amounted to hundreds of dollars. Casey allegedly also wrote them at a Winn Dixie store where she bought groceries.

Casey Anthony wants off house arrest to help find her missing daughter, Caylee.
On Friday, a judge must decide whether to take the mother of missing Caylee Anthony off house arrest so that she can help find her daughter.
Casey Anthony has been confined to her home for weeks now on an ankle monitoring program. Casey claims she wants out so that she can help find her daughter.
The last time anyone saw Caylee was in mid-June, two months before her third birthday. Two weeks ago, authorities named Casey as the main suspect in her daughter's disappearance. Caylee is presumed dead by investigators because of evidence found in her car.

Surveillance Video Proves Casey Anthony Is Thief, Investigators Say
Search Continues For 3-Year-Old Caylee
POSTED: 12:36 pm EDT October 8, 2008
UPDATED: 1:45 pm EDT October 8, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Newly released surveillance videos show the mother of missing Caylee Anthony shopping at different Central Florida stores using stolen checks, according to investigators.
Authorities said the video and photos prove Casey Anthony is a thief, Local 6 reported.
Investigators said Casey Anthony used stolen checks from her one-time best friend Amy Huizenga, and then spent the money in stores including Target.
Copies of checks Anthony allegedly wrote were also released Wednesday, including one check on which Anthony apparently signed her own name.
When Casey Anthony was initially arrested on charges of child neglect, she was videotaped wearing a blue hoodie with the number 82 on it.
On surveillance video, Anthony can be seen buying the same blue-hoodie outfit at a Target store located on Alafaya Trail. Investigators said she made the purchase using a stolen check.
According to sheriff's deputies, Anthony stole Huizenga's checkbook while she was out of the country on vacation and then illegally went to at least four stores.
Prosecutors said Anthony stole more than $1,300 from Huizenga.
Anthony apparently made grocery and clothing purchases during a time in mid-July -- after Caylee had been missing for more than a month and when she was living with her boyfriend.
In addition to using Huizenga's checks to buy items, prosecutors said Anthony also cashed a check at a Bank of America where surveillance cameras captured her at a teller window.
Anthony allegedly wrote a check to herself for $250, Local 6 reported. Prosecutors said Anthony forged Huizenga's signature on the bottom of a check.
Also, on one of the checks Anthony allegedly spent in a Central Florida Target store, she signed "Casey Anthony" on the bottom of Huizenga's check, Local 6 reported.
In addition to five paper checks, detectives said Anthony wrote an electronic check to AT&T for $574.
If Anthony is convicted of all 13 check fraud charges, she could be sentenced up to 65 years in prison, Local 6 reported.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The State Attorney's Office released more documents Wednesday in the Casey Anthony case, detailing the allegations of check fraud that came to light after her child, Caylee, was reported missing.
Related Content: Video | Uncut Video | More Inside
According to the documents, Anthony cashed her friend’s checks to buys everything from groceries to lingerie. Much of the evidence is police reports, copies of receipts, statements from witnesses and stills from surveillance cameras.

Prosecutors also released video from surveillance cameras that show Casey Anthony signing checks and handing them to cashiers at a local Target.
Anthony’s 3-year-old daughter Caylee was reported missing in mid-July and has not been seen since June. Anthony first was charged with child neglect related to Caylee’s disappearance, but later was charged with cashing hundreds of dollars in checks from her friend’s bank account.
Anthony remains free on bond and is living with her parents in East Orange. She has a court appearance on Friday on a variety of defense motions, including one that seeks to allow her to take trips to help search for Caylee.

Investigators Convinced Casey Killed Caylee, Seeking New Charges
POSTED: 11:38 am EDT October 8, 2008
UPDATED: 6:18 pm EDT October 8, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- On the same day investigators released surveillance video showing Casey Anthony on a shopping spree with someone else's money, Eyewitness News has learned prosecutors are seeking new charges against Casey in the death of her daughter.
Investigators and prosecutors believe they have a strong circumstantial case against Casey, strong enough to take it to an Orange County grand jury during a special session October 14. They don't have all the answers, they won't say whether Caylee suffered and they don't have Caylee's body, but they do believe they have a mother who killed her daughter.
Investigators do have forensic evidence showing Caylee is dead and that at one time her body was in the trunk of her mother's car, but they have no "smoking gun" indicating how Caylee was killed.
Prosecutors will take what evidence they have to the grand jury and let the panel decide what the charges should be, murder, manslaughter or maybe nothing at all right now until more evidence is found.

State may seek homicide charges against Casey Anthony
Walter Pacheco, Sarah Lundy and Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writers
6:30 PM EDT, October 8, 2008
TODAY'S UPDATES:
6:30. Prosecutors may seek homicide charges against Casey Anthony in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, sources confirmed.
The state may present the case before an Orange County grand jury on Tuesday.
The grand jury meeting was previously scheduled, and prosecutors don't discuss cases that are brought before it.
In other news, Casey Anthony's parents, Cindy and George, met with investigators at the Sheriff's office yesterday. Her brother Lee Anthony was at the office today.
4:07 p.m. The director of the Texas-based group that helped organize the volunteer search for Caylee Marie Anthony will be back in Central Florida on Friday, an organization spokeswoman just told the Orlando Sentinel.
Tim Miller, founder and director of Texas EquuSearch, will assess the weather conditions -- including water levels and vegetation -- and determine if it's the right time to resume the search for Caylee.
The group left Central Florida a month ago because the high water levels caused by Tropical Storm Fay were preventing a thorough examination of the search areas -- many of which were areas of thick brush and woods in east Orange County near the Anthony family home.
While in town, Miller will also meet with Orlando police detectives to discuss the Jennifer Kesse case, said EquuSearch search director Mandy Albritton.
Kesse, 24, vanished in January 2006 near her south Orlando apartment.
It's unclear exactly what will be discussed at the meeting, but there are no new developments in the case. They may search areas that had already been searched earlier, a detective said.
2:47 p.m.
Documents released today by the State Attorney's Office today show Casey Anthony went on a $400 spending spree with money investigators said she stole from a friend.
Copies of receipts from Orlando- and Winter Park-area Target stores show the mother of missing 3-year-old Caylee Marie purchased Bud Light, about 4 pounds of cherries, instant mashed potatoes and Eggos, among other groceries.
The list of clothing includes the blue Mossimo brand hoodie Anthony wore on the day Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested the 22-year old mother at her parents' house on charges of child neglect and filing a false statement to law enforcement.
She also allegedly bought two bras and other undergarments, records show. The transactions were made in July during the period Anthony said she was looking for Caylee Marie and but just before she was reported missing.
In addition to the purchases she made by forging her friend Amy Huizenga's signature on the checks, she also withdrew $250 from Huizenga's checking account by making a check out to herself at a local Bank of America, according to sheriff's office records. She also attempted to pay an AT&T cell phone bill for $574 with another of Huizenga's checks -- but there wasn't enough money left in the account.
"I found out a lot about the person I thought I was a very good friends with," Huizenga told detectives. "[Cindy Anthony] told me Casey had been stealing money from her for years and about all the lies she had been telling me and everyone really. They go deep and long."
Huizenga told detectives that she had loaned Anthony her vehicle on July 8 while she traveled to Puerto Rico. She said Anthony picked her up at Orlando International Airport on July 15. After talking to Anthony's mother later that day, Huizenga learned her friend had drained her checking account. The purchases and cash withdrawal were made during this period with checks Huizenga had left in her vehicle.
Still images taken from surveillance cameras at the Bank of America at 2701 S. Conway Road show Anthony standing in front of a teller's window and waiting for the teller to hand over $250 in cash from Huizenga's account.

State Seeks Homicide Charge Against Mom Of Missing Caylee
3-Year-Old Last Seen In Mid-June
POSTED: 3:18 pm EDT October 8, 2008
UPDATED: 5:08 pm EDT October 8, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The state is seeking homicide charges against Casey Anthony in connection to the disappearance of her missing 3-year-old daughter Caylee, Local 6 News reported.
The State Attorney's Office is planning on presenting its case to a grand jury on Tuesday, according to Local 6 News. The grand jury will then decide if prosecutors have enough evidence to charge Anthony, the report said.
It is not known if it will be a murder or manslaughter charge, Local 6 reported.
Caylee was last seen in mid-June but was not reported missing until mid-July. Even with no body, the state plans to charge Anthony in connection with the death of her child.
Orange County sheriff's investigators -- and Sheriff Kevin Beary -- said they believe Caylee is dead.
Anthony was recently named a suspect in her daughter's disappearance after evidence allegedly showed a dead body was inside Anthony's car.
Air samples taken from the trunk of the car indicated a dead body was present, investigators said. Cadaver dogs also alerted on the car, according to investigators.
In addition, FBI results showed that a hair sample taken from the trunk of the car likely belonged to Caylee, Local 6 News reported. High levels of chloroform were also found inside the trunk, according to the report.
Anthony was previously charged with child neglect in her daughter's disappearance.

Grand Jury May Consider Homicide Charges For Casey
Thursday, October 09, 2008 1:17:42 PM
ORLANDO -- A hearing for Casey Anthony is set for Friday morning as the search for 4-year-old Caylee continues.
New motions filed by Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, will be heard during the pre-trial hearing.
News 13 will be broadcasting the Friday hearing live starting at 10:30 a.m.
Casey Anthony has been charged with using forged checks, child neglect and lying to authorities. Now, published reports say she could soon face homicide charges.
Baez's motions ask the prosecution to release all evidence that could be used against Anthony in court. Some of the evidence in the has already been released to the media.
Included in the evidence are videos that show Casey writing the alleged fraudulent checks at several Targets across Central Florida.
Investigators believe they can prove she is at least guilty of check fraud.
Baez is also asking that Casey's schedule be sealed to protect her safety.
The Anthony home on Hopespring Drive has become notorious for violent protesters demonstrating at times when they knew Casey would be leaving and returning home.
Baez also wants Casey's home confinement schedule to allow her time out to help search for Caylee. He wants to take her back to key points of interest that could help in her defense.
Casey will go before Judge Stan Strickland, but this could be one of many pretrial hearings before we see any real moves in this case.
The state may bring homicide charges before a grand jury as early as Tuesday.

Casey Anthony's Father To Testify Against Her In Front Of Grand Jury
POSTED: 5:56 pm EDT October 9, 2008
UPDATED: 6:07 pm EDT October 9, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Detectives think they have a solid case against Casey Anthony and Eyewitness News found out Thursday that Casey's own father will testify against her in front of Orange County's grand jury next week.
Sources told Eyewitness News that prosecutors now have all the forensic evidence they need to ask the grand jury to indict Casey for the murder of her daughter Caylee.
Two members of the Anthony family now have key roles in the case against Casey, her father for what he's going to do and her brother Lee for what he didn't want to do.
Sources told Eyewitness News the Orange County grand jury will hear about high levels of chloroform in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car. The panel will hear how lab tests on the hair and the stain in the trunk will show that Caylee's body was in that trunk and that investigators also believe the little girl's body was at some point in the Anthony's backyard near her playhouse.
The focus on when Caylee was murdered is on the afternoon of June 16, sometime between mid-day, when Caylee's grandfather last saw her alive with Casey, and the evening, when Casey went to her boyfriend's apartment without Caylee.
Eyewitness News has learned George Anthony will testify against his daughter next week before the grand jury about, among other things what he's already told investigators, how in late June Casey prevented him from going near her trunk, which he later found exuded the smell of death.
"Her and I got into a little verbal, she don't want me to go in the trunk," Anthony told investigators during questioning.
George and Cindy Anthony voluntarily gave up DNA samples this week so investigators could scientifically exclude either of them as the source of the hair and stain in Casey's trunk, but investigators had to get a search warrant to get Casey's brother Lee to submit to a DNA test. He also has refused to take a lie detector test for the FBI.
The fact that a grand jury is being called to hear the case at all does not bode well for Casey. In Florida, a grand jury only has to be presented with a case for "capital" crimes, a charge of either first-degree murder or felony murder. It won't be as difficult to convince a grand jury to indict Casey as it would be to convince a regular jury to convict her.
Trial jurors have to convict defendants beyond a reasonable doubt. Grand jurors only have to have probable cause, meaning a reasonable person would conclude from the evidence that Casey committed the crime.

Cell 'Pings' Key To Search For Missing Caylee, Tracking Mother
Attorney: Anthony Preparing For Worst
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Hundreds of "pings" from the cell phone of missing Caylee Anthony's mother have apparently led to site searches for the child and helped investigators track Casey Anthony's movements.
Local 6 tracked the 754 times Anthony's cell phone communicated with a cell tower -- called pings -- and mapped 20 different towers the calls reached.
The pings came during a period from June 16 -- the day Caylee Anthony was last seen alive -- to June 30 -- the day Casey Anthony's car was towed from an Amscot with signs of human decomposition was found in the trunk.
Records indicated that 97 percent of the cell phone pings came at or around her boyfriend's apartment near Winter Park, her parents' home located off Chickasaw Trail and the Fusian nightclub and a friend's house in Orlando.
However, it is some of the other 3 percent of pings that have raised some questions, Local 6 reported.
On June 17, the day after George Anthony said he last saw his granddaughter alive, Casey Anthony apparently returned to the family home at about 2:30 p.m.
Then, around 4 p.m., the phone pinged a cell tower southwest of the family home at Lee Vista Boulevard and South Goldenrod, Local 6 reported. The location was near where detectives directed EquuSearch volunteers to look for signs of Caylee several weeks ago.
At 5:20 p.m., Anthony's cell pinged a tower near Blanchard Park at state Road 50 and Goldenrod, Local 6 reported. That site was also searched in August by EquuSearch.
Records showed that Casey Anthony's cell phone went silent during a time between 5:23 and 8:23 on June 17 -- no text messages, no calls in and no calls out.
Anthony then turned up near her boyfriend's apartment, records showed.
On June 18, a neighbor of Casey Anthony's parents said they noticed the woman borrowed a shovel and backed her car into her parents' home garage. Cell pings showed that Casey Anthony was at or near her parents' home between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.
And after 28 minutes of cell phone silence, Casey Anthony's phone pinged an unusual spot -- along the Econ Trail located south of Lake Underhill, Local 6 reported.
It was again an area detectives in which were interested and and asked EquuSearch volunteers to search, Local 6 reported.
Investigators first subpoenaed Casey Anthony's cell phone records the day after she was arrested in July and have been analyzing them ever since.

Judge Grants Anthony Defense Access To Car, Forensic Tests
POSTED: 12:06 pm EDT October 10, 2008
UPDATED: 12:18 pm EDT October 10, 2008
Judicial Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland disagreed Friday with an argument by Orange County prosecutors that the evidence did not pertain to the child neglect charges that Anthony faces in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Strickland allowed motions that the defense be given access to forensic tests involving chloroform, DNA air samples and hair strands within 10 days. He denied access to evidence collected by cadaver dogs.
Defense attorney Jose Baez had sought the car and other items available so he can conduct his own tests.
Anthony did not attend the hearing. Her daughter has not been seen since June, but wasn't reported missing until a month later.
New Searches Possible
Meanwhile, new searches for Caylee Anthony could begin as soon as this weekend.
Tim Miller of EquuSearch arrived in Orlando on Thursday night to possibly begin the new searches.
Miller said he was disappointed that severe weather passed through the area.
Miller said a helicopter will likely be rented to determine if search conditions are better than the last time the group searched Central Florida. If they are, he said he plans to get a large group of searchers together.

People on home confinement are given a risk score based on their charge and criminal history. That dictates what defendants are allowed to do. Hughes has seen Casey about five times so far.

County assistant attorney is questioning Hughes. Casey has asked for an extension in her time allowed away from home. She has called and requested more time the last two days, Hughes said.
Hughes said she needs to know where Casey is throughout the day. She must know specific location and times so she can verify Casey's location. The close monitoring is to make it hard for a defendant to flee the area or take part in criminal activity.

Prosecutor Linda Drane-Burdick questions Hughes about allowing Casey to see her attorney for six hours a day. Hughes said she has never had someone ask that but she had people ask to see attorneys at restaurants and places like that.
The prosecutor asks Hughes that if Casey wanted travel to Amscot to help in her case would she be allowed? Hughes says she would want more details as to why, but she can request that.
And Casey can ask the court for permission if Hughes refused to allow her to go somewhere, Drane-Burdick asked. Hughes replied that Casey could do that.

Points of interest?

Baez points out that the Casey case is an unusual case. Hughes agreed.
Baez then tells the judge that this case involves the case of a missing child. He would like a few hours to travel with her to certain places - they could range from places she has been in the last few months and to places she allegedly took cops. He wants to go to other places of interest that are relevant to the case.
The issue may be whether she is a flight risk, Baez says. But he is requesting that she goes with Baez - an officer of the court - and be followed by the bondsman. He said this is the most stringent and narrow request that he has asked for since she was placed on home confinement. This would allow her to contribute to her defense.
State and county opposes request

The county opposes the motion. It's too vague. It's basically a request to be removed from home confinement, says county assistant attorney Tamara Gappen.
Prosecutor says it appears that Baez is asking the court to trust him and the bondsman that she will abide by the home confinement. Drane-Burdick points out that Casey hasn't even asked to go anywhere other than her attorney's office. He appears he wants to conduct this in secret and the state opposes it.

The judge asked if the state plans to use the air samples - the ones that detected a decomposing body in the vehicle. Prosecutor said not in the neglect case.
Baez disagreed, pointing out Ashton was not present for the three-hour bond hearing. He says defense should be allowed to inspect the car. The state may want to restrict Casey's search for the truth.

Judge -- He denies paragraph 5 - request about cadaver dogs.
But the inspections dealing with air samples analyzed at the body farm may be limited to reports or statements of experts regarding that.

Judge Gives Casey Anthony's Attorney Access to Tests
Last Edited: Friday, 10 Oct 2008, 1:29 PM EDT
Created: Friday, 10 Oct 2008, 1:29 PM EDT
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A circuit court judge ruled on Friday that Casey Anthony's attorney can have access to her car and forensic tests in the case of her missing daughter, Caylee.
Casey Anthony chose not to attend court Friday for the hearing.
Ninth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland disagreed with an argument by Orange County prosecutors that the evidence did not pertain to the child neglect charges that Anthony faces in the disappearance of Caylee.
Strickland allowed motions that the defense be given access to forensic tests involving chloroform, DNA air samples and hair strands within 10 days. He denied access to evidence collected by cadaver dogs.
Defense attorney Jose Baez had sought the car and other items available so he can conduct his own tests.
Meanwhile Texas Equusearch (TES) is back in Orlando to continue its search for Caylee.
Tim Miller, the founder and director of the group, says the group is back in central Florida for two reasons.
He will meet with the Orlando Police Department to talk about the Jennifer Kesse case because the department was unwilling to work with them two years ago. Kesse, a 26-year-old female, has been missing since January 24, 2006.
Miller says while he is here, he plans to go out and continue the search for Caylee Anthony . He plans to check water levels and vegetation to determine whether now is a good time to resume the search.
TES left the area after Tropical Storm Fay flooded several areas where volunteers searched.
Miller says the Orange County Sheriff's Office does want the group to come back and finish their search but they have not given any information on specific areas they would like searched.

Judge Grants Several Motions Requested By Casey Anthony's Attorney
POSTED: 6:11 am EDT October 10, 2008
UPDATED: 3:14 pm EDT October 10, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony was at the center of a court hearing Friday, but she didn't show up. A judge ruled on several motions, but tabled the decision on the motion to keep Casey's daily schedule a secret.
Circuit Judge Stan Strickland granted eight of the 11 motions and tabled three of the motions
(Motions 1-8 http://www.wftv.com/download/2008/1006/17636252.pdf|
Motion 9 http://www.wftv.com/download/2008/1008/17658466.pdf |
Motion 10 http://www.wftv.com/download/2008/1010/17687874.pdf |
Motion 11 http://www.wftv.com/download/2008/1010/17687872.pdf),
including one that might be considered the most controversial, the request to allow Casey to travel in secrecy to search for Caylee.
Strickland allowed motions that the defense be given access to forensic tests involving chloroform, DNA air samples and hair strands within 10 days. He denied access to evidence collected by cadaver dogs.
Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, walked into the court hearing just after 10:00am.
"No, I don't have any statements to make right now," Baez said. "I'm going to court."
Baez walked by reporters without his client, Casey Anthony, and she never showed up.
A total of 11 motions were heard Friday. The first two discussed were the motion to seal information and the request for Casey to search for her daughter. The latter request would not allow the public to know Casey whereabouts during the search.
Baez said he asking for secrecy for Casey's safety.
"Posting of that information is creating a very imminent, a possibility of an imminent security risk, and that's the crux of the motion," Baez said.
Robert Haney works for McDonald Bail Bonds and posted part of Casey's half-million dollar bond. He said he is her personal security guard and would be with her while she searched in key points of interest.
"I would escort you and Casey when you went out," Haney said.
Judge Strickland granted the following eight motions: Demand For Discovery And Inspection Relating to Digital Forensic Evidence, Motion To Inspect, Test And Photograph Evidence Held By The State Of Florida, Motion To Compel Department Of Children And Family Records, Demand For Discovery And Inspection Relating To Polygraphs, Motion To Compel Flight Manifest, Motion To Compel Results Of Forensic Testing, and Motion To Compel For Evidence Related To Any Zenaida Gonzalez.
The judge tabled the following three motions and said he would not rule before Monday: Motion To Preserve Forensic Evidence, Motion For Allowing Defendant To Travel To Places Of Interest and Motion To Seal.
Shortly after the hearing ended, the Anthony family released the following statement: "Judge Strickland's decision today to grant access to all of the tips regarding Caylee's sightings is a victory for Caylee Marie. This is the first step in bringing Caylee home safely."

Judge rules on some requests at Casey Anthony hearing, reviewing others
Amy L. Edwards, Sarah Lundy and Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writers
5:37 PM EDT, October 10, 2008
5:17 PM Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, just held a news conference outside his law office in Kissimmee.
He said the judge ruled in defense's favor in what Baez thinks was the most important motion -- turning over tips on Caylee's whereabouts.
"We believe this child is alive" he said. "We are very excited about that motion."
He was pleased Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland is still considering some of the motions, including whether to release Anthony's weekly schedule while on home confinement.
Baez commented on why Anthony did not show up in court as expected.
"It's a simple answer. She didn't need to be," he said.
He continued to vent his frustration about the various leaks made to the media. The latest involved the case being presented to an Orange County grand jury next week and the possibility Anthony could face more serious charges.
2:00 PM Judge Stan Strickland will not rule today on the remaining motions filed by defense attorney Jose Baez that were argued this morning, including a request to seal Anthony's weekly home confinement schedule.
Strickland also did not rule on: - A motion for allowing Anthony to travel to places of interest - A motion to preserve forensic evidence and for court to consider additional testing Neither Casey Anthony nor her family attended the hearing. Several local and federal detectives were in the courtroom, but none were called to testify.
Speaking in regard to his request to have Anthony's schedule sealed, Baez said his main issue is security and Anthony's safety. Baez said there may be people who want to hurt Anthony.
But county attorney Tamara Gappen argued that Anthony's weekly schedule is public record, and the county has to follow the law. She said Baez has shown no legal exception to the public records law.
Orlando Sentinel attorney Rachel Fugate also argued against Baez's motion. "The protestors are not going to go away. The media is not going to stop covering this case," she said.
In a separate motion, Baez requested Anthony be allowed to travel with him and the bondsman.
A representative from the company who posted a portion of Anthony's $500,000-plus bond testified that he does not think she is a flight risk. He told the judge the travel would be local and Anthony would not go out of state.
Baez told Strickland he wants a specific period of time where he can travel with Anthony to certain places of interest in regards to the case. Baez said Anthony needs to be able to contribute to her defense.
The county opposed that motion. Gappen said it was vague. She said "key points of interest" are unknown locations and home confinement staff would have no idea where Anthony is and it would be a burden for county staff to follow her.
During the hearing that lasted several hours today in a packed courtroom, Strickland ruled on several of the motions filed by the defense, including:
- Baez's request for access to Anthony's vehicle, which is being held by the Orange County Sheriff's Office. A prosecutor argued the car is not going to be used in the child neglect case. Baez argued the defense should have "equal access" to the car. He said there may be something in the vehicle that could help the defense. "We deserve a search for the truth," Baez said. Strickland granted Baez's request.
- Baez's request for information on the tips that law enforcement has received regarding Caylee's whereabouts. Strickland said Baez can have access to the information so long as the tip has already been investigated by detectives.
After the hearing, where many of his motions were granted, Baez gave a brief statement:
"Obviously we are happy," he said, adding that the motions are important for the search of the truth and justice.
"What you are getting right now is rumor and conjecture," Baez said. "I think its about time we get down to the truth and find out which one of these reports is credible and which one is not."
Sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves spoke briefly after the hearing and said that the sheriff's office will comply with the rulings of the court and will turn over documentation that were ordered.
"One of the things we'd like to know is where Caylee is. That's what our main goal has been since the beginning of this case," Nieves said. "The truth that we want is where is Caylee."

Texas-Based Group Considers Resuming Caylee Anthony Search
POSTED: 5:45 pm EDT October 10, 2008
UPDATED: 5:53 pm EDT October 10, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Texas-based group is considering resuming a ground search in Orange County for Caylee Anthony's body. The group, EquuSearch, stopped looking for Caylee several weeks ago when the rain from Tropical Storm Fay created too many problems.
The decision on whether or not to resume that search is being discussed on the same day Casey Anthony's lawyer tried to get a judge to allow Casey to secretly search for her daughter.
The founder of EquuSearch, Tim Miller, is at the Fairfield Inn near Orlando International Airport meeting with his staff, going over maps and trying to decide if he's going to do two searches in Orlando at the same time.
Miller met with detectives at the Orlando Police Department about the Jennifer Kesse case. She's the 22-year year old who never showed up to work in January 2006. Miller also met with attorney Mark NeJame for five hours about the Caylee Anthony case.
Miller is contacting his people and his resources to see if it's the right time to do a double search.
"We know that both Jennifer and Caylee, if they are out there, are only skeletal remains. So, you know, it's going to take me going out there personally, see what the vegetation looks like, do we go right now, wait until four or five weeks from now when the vegetation starts dying off to go ahead and use our resources the best they can be used," Miller said.

EquuSearch Returns To Look For Caylee, Jennifer Kesse
Saturday, October 11, 2008 10:53:33 AM
ORLANDO -- Search and recovery team Texas EquuSearch is back in Central Florida to resume the search for Caylee Anthony as her mother, Casey, works her way through the court system on child neglect charges. See previous story.
EquuSearch spokesman Tim Miller said the group hopes to start searching by late Sunday or Monday, because the ground is too saturated this weekend.
Miller said he believes Caylee is dead, but the 3-year-old deserves a proper burial.
"My heart goes out to the Anthony family," Miller said. "It's a position they've never wanted to be put in, and I can empathize with them."
Along with the search for Caylee, EquuSearch will be working with law enforcement to work on the case of Jennifer Kesse, who has been missing for more than two years after vanishing from her condominium in January 2006.

Search for Caylee to continue

FOX 35 NEWS
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Equusearch is back in Orlando with the hopes of finding Caylee Anthony, the 3 year old toddler who has been missing since June.
The group's founder Tim Miller says most likely their search won't start Saturday.
Equusearch left Orlando in September, unable to continue their search for Caylee amid soggy conditions left in the wake of Tropical Storm Fay.
This time around Miller says he still needs to view the search sites to make sure they are dry.
Friday Miller said he had planned to tour the areas via helicopter but meetings with Orange County Sheriffs detectives went long.
Miller plans to resume his aerial tour Saturday and to do a bulk of the planning.
The search sites are the same as they were the last time; areas around Orlando International Airport, though Miller says he hasn't mapped out specifics.
Miller says Equusearchs quest to find Caylee has cost them $35,000 dollars up until this most recent trip to Orlando. He says the Anthony family attorney; Mark Nejame is working on some sort of funding to help aid the search, possibly through the Never Lose Hope Foundation.

Update from David Lohr:
I just received a call from Tim Miller, the founder and director of Texas EquuSearch, regarding the searches for Caylee Anthony, Jennifer Kesse and Kelly Morris.
In regard to the search for Caylee and Jennifer, Tim said that the conditions in Orlando, Florida, are not favorable at this time to continue those searches. Waters in the search areas remain high and the vegetation has not yet started to die off. As a result, both of those searches have been postponed until the first or second week of November.

Possible murder charge against Casey Anthony could come as early as tomorrow
Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
11:06 AM EDT, October 13, 2008
Prosecutors are expected to present the case against Casey Anthony to an Orange County grand jury Tuesday morning.
At least 15 jurors will hear from witnesses, including Anthony's father, George Anthony, and others, before they decide whether the 22-year-old should be indicted on more serious charges, possibly murder.
Anthony is currently charged with child neglect, filing a false statement with law enforcement and check fraud. Investigators have said she is the main suspect in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.
Anthony's family reported the toddler missing on July 15 but Anthony told investigators she hadn't seen the girl since mid-June.
Officials with the State Attorney's Office will not comment on the Tuesday's proceedings, which are not public and are supposed to be held in secret. This is to protect jurors and witnesses from being subjected to any outside pressures.
Anthony -- like any accused person -- can not be forced to testify before the grand jury.
And unlike a trial, no defense is offered.
After testimony and evidence is offered, the jurors will discuss the case to determine if there is enough to indict Anthony on murder charges.
A tally is taken and at least 12 members must agree for a decision to be made. The grand jury has two options. They can return a "true bill," which becomes an indictment once it's filed in court.
Another result could be a "no-true bill," which means the grand jury found there wasn't enough evidence to issue an indictment.

Grand Jury Hearing Slated In Anthony Case
Father George Anthony To Testfiy Against Anthony
POSTED: 10:05 am EDT October 13, 2008
UPDATED: 4:00 pm EDT October 13, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- One day before a grand jury meets to consider murder charges against Casey Anthony, her mother, Cindy Anthony, is breaking her silence.
Anthony is accused of child neglect after failing to report the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee Anthony, for one month.Cindy Anthony accused state attorney Lawson Lamar of seeking an indictment for political gain.
A judge's decisions are also expected on several motions filed by Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, but a court official said it won't come on Monday.
Casey Anthony's father, George Anthony, will be the only member of the Anthony family called to testify before the grand jury.
Last week, Baez requested more travel time, allowing Anthony to visit sites to help her defense prepare her case.
Other motions include a request to keep Anthony's travel schedule sealed from the public, and they sought the preservation of DNA samples so the defense can conduct their own tests.

Casey Anthony Awaits Grand Jury Decision On Possible Charges
POSTED: 4:31 pm EDT October 13, 2008
UPDATED: 6:19 pm EDT October 13, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Monday night could be Casey Anthony's last night of freedom. Eyewitness News is digging into the case against Casey and has obtained new inside information about Tuesday's grand jury testimony and how soon she could be re-arrested.
TUESDAY'S HEARING: No cameras are allowed, but WFTV.com will be updating with details from our team of reporters attending
Tuesday's grand jury testimony will be behind closed doors, but sources are revealing more information to Eyewitness News about what will happen.
Casey Anthony's mother Monday accused prosecutors of playing politics and rushing the case to the grand jury before the November election, but Eyewitness News was told there are more important deadlines, legal ones, steering the strategy.
Casey could've pleaded guilty to child neglect to try to close the case before more serious charges were filed. Taking it to the grand jury stops that.
"Are you nervous about the grand jury?" WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Casey Anthony on Monday.
Casey didn't answer as she rushed to her weekly jail. She was not wearing her big white stolen sunglasses, either.
Casey's father George, a former sheriff's deputy in Ohio, will be one of the key witnesses against her Tuesday before the grand jury.
Casey's mother came to the jail Monday, as well, complaining that investigators are no longer accepting tips about Caylee.
"I'm worried for my granddaughter. Casey is gonna be able to defend whatever is out there right now, because it's just purely circumstantial evidence. I'm worried for Caylee. I found out they are no longer taking tips on my granddaughter," Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness News (watch full interview).
Eyewitness News has learned the grand jury will hear from half a dozen witnesses Tuesday, investigators from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the FBI, FBI lab specialists and Casey's father. The grand jury will hear how investigators found high levels of the potentially toxic chemical chloroform in the trunk where they say Caylee's body had been.
If the grand jury indicts Casey for murdering her daughter Caylee, prosecutors would very likely drop the child neglect charge against her, because she couldn't be charged with neglecting Caylee by not reporting her missing if she had already killed her.
Depending on what the grand jury does Tuesday, Casey's visit to her lawyer's office Monday could be one of her last and Monday night could be the last night she spends at her parents' house.

Grand jury convenes Tuesday; Baez may be forced off Anthony case
Last Edited: Monday, 13 Oct 2008, 8:31 PM EDT
Created: Monday, 13 Oct 2008, 8:06 PM EDT
ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) -- An Orange County grand jury is expected to look at evidence in the Casey Anthony case on Tuesday. They will decide if there is enough to charge her in the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony.
It is unknown whether or not the grand jury will take up the case in the morning or the afternoon. FOX 35 will carry breaking news if and when a decision is released. It is our plan to carry court action and news conferences live on the air and streaming through MyFoxOrlando.com.
The State does have some damning evidence, but investigators still have not located a body. While prosecutors feel confident that they can indict Casey, her attorney, Jose Baez, believes the missing toddler is alive. The State only has to prove that there is probable cause in the murder of Caylee. Ultimately, it will be up to fifteen people to decide.
The grand jury is expected to hear from several key people, including Casey's father George, who will testify to what he told investigators about the smell of death in the trunk of Casey's white Pontiac.
"We got into a little verbal thing. She didn't want me to go into the car," George said of Casey in an earlier interview.
The grand jury will hear about the air samples taken from the Pontiac which indicated human decomposition. They will also hear about evidence of chloroform discovered during the investigation. Reports from lab technicians will shed light on hair samples and stains found in the trunk of the car.
Sources close to the investigation tell FOX 35 that several representatives from the Orange County Sheriff's Office are also expected to go in front of the grand jury.
Baez released a prepared statement to the media when pressed for Casey's state of mind leading up to the grand jury's ruling.
"Casey Anthony has been prepared for the worst, but has always been hoping for the best. Although she would be naturally nervous and very upset about going back into confinement, she is prepared and has been for that if it happens."
New lead attorney for Casey?
Should Casey face a homicide charge, she could be going to trial with a new lead counsel. FOX 35 has learned from the president of the Criminal Defense Attorney's Association that Baez might not be permitted to represent Anthony in a first degree murder trial.
Richard Hornsby said Baez does not meet the standards set forth by attorneys in capital cases. To be lead counsel you must:
* have had five years experience as an attorney
* served as co-counsel on two death penalty cases
* demonstrated proficiency and commitment which exemplify quality representation in capital cases
However, Baez could still be part of a legal team. Todd Black, spokesperson for Baez, offered this response on Monday:
"It will not change the commitment of the Baez Law Firm and they are fully prepared if an indictment is handed down to represent Ms. Anthony to the fullest."
In an exclusive sit-down interview, FOX 35 reporter Holly Bristow asked Cindy Anthony, mother of Casey, what she planned to do while the grand jury met on Tuesday. "I'm going to be wherever Casey is," she said. "I want to make sure if she's re-arrested, that I'm able to give her one last hug, in case I can't do that for a while."
When asked circumstantial evidence which could be presented to the grand jury, she responded, "George is not concerned. I am not concerned. We're just gonna pray that people have the right sense tomorrow to listen to what they have," she added.
When asked if she ever had any doubts about her daughter's innocence, Cindy responded emphatically, "No!"

Caylee Anthony - The Scoop Behind The Dress
If you watched Nancy Grace tonight, you'll recall that she made a big deal out of the discovery of a dress - similar to a dress of Caylee's - that was "just found" near the airport. During the show, Grace interviewed Tim Miller, who mentioned that the find had been leaked to a "member of the media." I am that "member of the media" and I can provide you with the details of that find.
On Saturday, I received an email from an individual in Florida, who informed me that he was with a group who found a child's dress in an area, not far from the airport - that was identical to the dress that Caylee is wearing in photo #3 at the following web link: www.wftv.com/slideshow/news/17399904/detail.html.
Texas EquuSearch did not make the find. It was found by an independant search group that had helped out in the first search for Caylee.The email went on to describe the item and the fact that the individual had an "exclusive" photo of the dress.
After receiving the email, I contacted Tim to confirm the find. As you can imagine, Tim was quite upset that the information had been leaked. Not only that, but he was also upset because the information the person was providing constituted a direct violation of search and rescue protocol.
Tim told me that the authorities did not believe the dress was connected to the Caylee case. He also said that the dress was "too big" for Caylee. As a result, I chose not to publish that information. The last thing we needed was another media frenzy, at a time in which Tim was trying to determine what to do. Grace has since picked up on the find, which is why I am addressing it now.
I am not going to identify the name of the organization involved, as they should not be judged by the actions of a single person; however, I will say that Tim told me that there are suspicions regarding the origin of that dress and how it ended up in that area.

George Anthony In Grand Jury
By Bob Kealing, WESH 2 News:
At 9:24 George Anthony was just escorted in to the grand jury room along with his attorney Mark NeJame. Just before going inside, Anthony was visited in a conference room by an FBI agent and Prosecutor Jeff Ashton. Ashton is a veteran prosecutor who has tried many homicide cases over the years. He tried to first successful DNA case in Orange County two decades ago.

. . . . . George Anthony and Mark Nejame
A nineteenth grand juror has also arrived. A man who appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s. That makes almost an even split of ten women and nine men. A court baliff explained to a member of the public trying to get inside that this is not an open proceeding.
State Attorney Lawson Lamar told us he would comment after the hearing was over.
A spokeswoman for the ninth judicial circuit says the grand jury’s findings will be read in open court after the jurors reach a decision. If an indictment is reached, the suspect would not be named if the person is not yet in custody.
No timetable yet on how long it might take.

Anthony Done Testifying
10:55 a.m.: By Bob Kealing, WESH 2 News
After more than an hour with an Orange County grand jury, George Anthony has completed his testimony. Anthony appeared somber as he waited for the elevator to take hm back downstairs. All the while he held a plastic folder with his missing granddaughter Caylee Marie Anthony’s picture on the front.
“Mr. Anthony answered all the questions he was asked,” said his attorney Mark NeJame, “Beyond that we’re really not allowed to comment.”
We’ve also seen the canine handler whose cadaver dog “hit” on the back of Casey Anthony’s car and the Anthony’s back yard.
One court deputy said she believes there are about a half dozen witnesses to testify. It’s also believed that this is the only case the grand jury is hearing.

Grand Jury Returns Indictment
Tuesday, October 14, 2008 4:06:58 PM
ORLANDO -- A grand jury has returned an indictment for a capital crime in the disappearance of Caylee Anthony.
However, the indictment has been sealed and the defendant's name will not be released until that person is in custody. Because the count is a capital offense, she will not be allowed bail.
Earlier in the afternoon, with Casey Anthony at his side, attorney Jose Baez told the press Tuesday that he thinks law enforcement is trying to "circumvent our constitution" in the way they have behaved.
"I understand there is an election going on, and I understand that those days are numbered, and I understand that Casey Anthony is public enemy No.1 and that the state attorney's office and the sheriff's department are under a great deal of pressure to close this case. I don't think Lawson Lamar would, and I certainly hope Lawson Lamar would not, utilize a missing child to keep his job," Baez said.
A grand jury is hearing evidence in the case of Casey's missing 3-year-old daughter, Caylee. See previous story.
The first person to testify Tuesday morning was a familiar face: Casey's father, George Anthony.
Before entering the courtroom, George said he loves his daughter, and that testifying in Tuesday's hearing was the hardest thing he has ever had to do. He also asked for prayers for his missing granddaughter.
Mark NeJame, George Anthony's lawyer, would not specify as to what exactly was said inside before the grand jury.
"George answered all questions directly and honestly," NeJame said. "He just did, I think, what no human being could ever be prepared to do."
Deputies have said Casey is a suspect in the toddler's disappearance. Caylee has been missing since June. Baez said he has been preparing his client for any eventuality.
"I would, again, ask you to try and understand what Casey's going through and to understand that we have been preparing from day 1 for the very worst because that's my job and I wouldn't be doing her a proper service if I didn't prepare her for probably what's going to go down today," Baez said.
The grand jury could decide on murder or manslaughter charge, or decide not to increase her current child neglect charges. Florida only holds a grand jury for capital cases, any crime for which the maximum punishment is death.
Baez asked that everybody reserve judgment until they know all of the facts.
"I would just simply ask that, from this point on, everyone try their best to engage in fair and neutral balanced reporting that asks the tough questions, because, I sincerely believe that when we have finally spoken, everyone, and I mean everyone, will sit back and say, 'Now I understand,'"

Grand jury has handed up indictment
Sarah Lundy, Bianca Prieto and Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writers
4:24 PM EDT, October 14, 2008
TODAY'S UPDATES:
Casey did not return home
4:24 p.m. Cindy Anthony showed up at the house without Casey Anthony. The pair left Baez's law office together about an hour. She believed to have switched cars somewhere along the way. It's unclear where she is at this moment.
At the courthouse, Detective Yuri Melich said he could not comment about the grand jury's decision. State Attorney Lawson Lamar said he is glad the agencies and scientists handed over their work to prosecutors in "good form." He's pleased with the work that has been done but there is still more work ahead.
The grand jury returns an indictment
3:51 p.m. The grand jury returned an indictment for a capital crime but did not identify the defendant. The court will not name the defendant until she is taken into custody. It's unclear where Casey Anthony is at this time.
Courtroom is now open to media
3:50 p.m. The courtroom is now filled with media, 19 members of the grand jury, Assistant State Attorney Linda Drane-Burdick and Detective Yuri Melich.
State Attorney's Office responds to political attack
3:41 p.m. Randy Means, a spokesman for the State Attorney's Office, recently issued this statement in response to allegations his office is using Casey Anthony's case for State Attorney Lawson Lamar's political benefit.
Means wrote in an email to the Orlando Sentinel that there "is an old axiom in law enforcement that goes 'When defense attorneys can't successfully attack the evidence they then attack the evidence collector. If this fails you then attack the prosecutor.....This is not the first time we have seen such a ploy as this. "All investigations, to include homicide investigations, have a chronological process and this case is no different. In late September, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, FBI and this office received a letter of confirmation from the University of Tennessee. They had concluded their examination of the forensic material sent to them by law enforcement contained relevant information to the disappearance of Caylee Anthony. "While I am not at liberty to discuss the specific nature of the material, I will tell you that this correspondence is dated very late September. This was the piece of the puzzle, as prosecutors, we were waiting for before we could appropriately convene the Grand Jury. "Normally making arrangements for the Grand Jurors will take a week or two, which leads us to today. Sufficient admissible evidence has been collected and evaluated and it is now the state's duty to seek justice. "As much as I would like to respond to these apparent smoke and mirror allegations, I am prohibited from doing so, as is the Defense, as described in the Cannons of Ethics. I believe the defense attorney's wild allegations serve no legitimate purpose other than to obfuscate the search for the truth. We will continue to prosecute this case in the courts and not in the media.
Grand jury makes a decision
3:40 p.m. The grand jury has made a decision but it has not been announced yet. The media is setting up in the courtroom to hear from the judge.
Anthony and mother leave attorney's office
3:35 p.m. Casey Anthony and her mother have just left attorney Jose Baez's Kissimmee office. She has until 4 p.m. to be at her parent's Hopespring Drive home or will be in violation of her home confinement.
Meanwhile at the Orange County Courthouse, the grand jury is still meeting behind closed doors.
Lead detective takes the stand
2:22 p.m. Orange County sheriff's Detective Yuri Melich has begun his testimony in front of the grand jury. Melich, who is on crutches because of an earlier motorcycle accident, is reportedly the last person to testify today.
Anthony will turn self in if indicted

Casey Anthony Charged With First-Degree Murder In Daughter's Death
POSTED: 4:31 pm EDT October 13, 2008
UPDATED: 5:06 pm EDT October 14, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Office said Casey Anthony was in custody Tuesday afternoon following an indictment on a first-degree murder charge handed up by a grand jury less than an hour
Casey Anthony was in handcuffs when she was led into the Orange County Sheriff's Office around 4:40pm.
The Orange County grand jury indicted Casey Anthony on the first-degree murder charge Tuesday in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. The indictment had remained sealed until Casey Anthony was under arrest.
A first-degree murder charge means the grand jury believed the act to be premeditated. The punishment for such a charge is the death penalty or life in prison and no chance for parole.
[INDICTMENT DELIVERED Watch Raw Video]

The indictment paved the way for sheriff's deputies to arrest Casey and send her back to jail. She had been out on house arrest on child neglect charges and check fraud charges. The check fraud charges are in an unrelated case.
Caylee Anthony was reported missing by Casey earlier this summer, a month after Caylee first disappeared. Investigators said Casey has insisted she left the child with a babysitter and claims the babysitter must have Caylee.
However, deputies have not found that babysitter. They did find evidence in Casey's car that shows Caylee Anthony's decomposing body was in it. Caylee's body has never been found.
Casey Anthony's lawyer conceded earlier Tuesday that it was likely the grand jury would return some sort of indictment against his client in connection with the death of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony.
Orange County Sheriff's Office Detective Yuri Melich, who has served as the lead investigator for the case, was the final witness and the grand jury began deliberations around 3:00pm. They returned from their deliberations less than an hour later.

WFTV KICKED OUT OF BAEZ NEWS CONFERENCE
At an afternoon news conference, which WFTV was kicked out of (BOOTED: See Images | Watch Raw Video), Jose Baez was somber as he used the word "inevitable" to characterize what he expected from Tuesday's hearing.
"[The grand jury] is secret for various reasons. One, you don't want it to compromise the integrity of the Grand Jury. Two, you certainly don't want any targets of the grand jury to be aware and, three, you don't want to have to possibly taint those opinions of the grand jurors," Baez said during the press conference. "Of course, none of that is being accomplished today. You have a situation where, I truly believe, if a prosecutor wanted to walk in there without calling any testimony, they can ask, 'Does anyone want to indict Casey Anthony?' and they'd all vote yes by now. They'd do this not because of any evidence that has been presented or released in discovery in this case. They do this because of the systematic leaks that have gone out from the State Attorney's Office and law enforcement, evidence that no one has seen and no one has had the opportunity to test and no one has the opportunity to independently verify."
Casey stood next to Baez, crying. Baez also accused State Attorney Lawson Lamar of using the case to gain political favor in an election year. Baez said Lamar had made Casey "public enemy number one."
"I want you to hear it straight from my mouth. These are my words. I understand that there is an election going on and I understand that those days are numbered and I understand that Casey Anthony is public enemy number one and that the State Attorney's Office and the sheriff's department is under a great deal of pressure to close this case," Baez said. "I don't think Lawson Lamar and I certainly hope that Lawson Lamar would not utilize a missing child to keep his job, so I'm not going to throw out any accusations. We all know what the situation is and if people want to conclude that, I'll allow them to do so. But as far as straight up accusations, it is not coming from me."
Baez then referenced the WFTV news team he kicked out of the conference while talking about Casey's presence.
"Casey wants to be here and she has always wanted to speak, but she trusts me and will allow me to speak for her. There will be no questions or any blurting out of anything. If there is, of course, you will find yourself out in the parking lot with some other less respectful people. I won't stand for any tabloid reporting or any cheap shots or lack of respect," Baez said.

George Anthony and his high-profile defense attorney, Mark NeJame walked up to the Orange County Courthouse just after 9:00am. George gave a brief statement before heading inside to testify before the grand jury and asked for prayer.
"This is going to be very hard for me to do. The focus has always been on my granddaughter and always will be. I love my daughter, I love my wife, I love my son. I want everyone to have prayer for all of us today, especially for my granddaughter. If someone could take a moment out at 11 o'clock this morning and 11 o'clock tonight and just pray for her. That's all I'm asking for. That's all I can say," George said Tuesday morning.
NeJame said his client is doing something incomprehensible Tuesday.
"And that is to testify before a grand jury, considering their investigation and their consideration of homicide charges against his daughter," NeJame said.

NeJame tried to by-pass the long line of people waiting to get inside, but he was turned away.
"My sergeant said that he would have to wait in line like everyone else. And we don't mind doing that," a deputy outside the courthouse told Eyewitness News.
FBI investigators, Orange County sheriff's deputies, George Anthony and several other key witnesses testified Tuesday. They told the grand jury everything they knew about the case of missing Caylee Anthony.
Just before 10:45am, after testifying for about an hour, George Anthony left the courthouse with his attorney.
"George answered all questions directly and honestly and just did what no human being would ever be prepared to do," NeJame said.

More Details On Casey Indictment
October 14, 2008 - 10 Responses
5:20 p.m.: Here are a few more details of the 7 count against Casey Anthony.
/ The first count is for first-degree murder, a capital offense that is punishable by the death penalty. (State Attorney Lawson Lamar, however, did not say specifically he would seek execution, if Casey Anthony is convicted. He took no questions.)
This charge alleges that Casey Anthony caused the death of Caylee “from a premeditated design” between June 15 and July 16. Those dates correspond to the last time Caylee was seen and when she was reported missing. The indictment offers no other information on how, why or when.
/ Count two is aggravated child abuse. This alleges that between the same dates Casey Anthony “did knowingly or willfully…causes great bodily harm, permanent disfigurement or permanent disability to Caylee Marie Anthony…by intentionally inflicting physical injury…or by intentionally committing an act or actively encouraging another person to commit an act which could reasonably expected to result in physical injury.”
Count three is aggravated manslaughter of a child. This count alleges that Casey Anthony caused Caylee’s death by failing to provide “the care, supervision and services necessary to maintain Caylee Marie Anthony’s physical and mental health” or that she did not make “a reasonable effort” to protect Caylee from someone else abuses, neglecting or exploiting her.
Counts four through seven are all “providing false information to a law enforcement officer.” Each count lists a time when Casey Anthony is alleged to have lied to investigators about Caylee. Count four says she lied to Orange County Sheriff’s Office Detective Yuri Melich when she said she worked at Universal Studios in 2008. Count five alleges she lied to Melich when she said she left Caylee with a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez. Count six alleges she lied to Melich when she said she told two former Universal Studios employees that Caylee was missing. And count seven alleges Anthony lied to Melich when she said she received phone call from Caylee on July 15.
Casey Anthony Indicted On Murder Charge
October 14, 2008 - 26 Responses
4:55 p.m. It is a 7-count indictment against Casey Anthony, State Attorney Lawson Lamar just said.
Count one is first-degree murder.
Count two is for causing great bodily harm to Caylee, by intentionally inflicting injury on her or causing the injury to happen.
Count three is aggravated manslaughter, that as Caylee’s caregiver, Casey failed to give her what was needed for her physical or mental health or to protect her from abuse that caused her death.
Counts four to seven involve lying to law enforcement during her discussions with investigators.
“The defendant is cloaked with the persumption of innocence,” Lamar said as he said he would not further comment on process. He said she should not be tried at news conferences or in the media.
Beary said they are not hear to rejoice in the indictment. He said they will continue to everything they can to recover Caylee.

Casey Anthony Indicted On First-Degree Murder Charge, Arrested
Casey Anthony Attorney Lashes Out; Says Everyone 'Will Understand'
POSTED: 3:44 pm EDT October 14, 2008
UPDATED: 5:51 pm EDT October 14, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A grand jury indicted the mother of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony, Casey, on first-degree murder and other charges.
Prosecutors announced that Casey Anthony was indicted and arrested on charges that she killed her daughter Caylee Tuesday night.
Investigators had previously questioned why Anthony, 22, didn't contact authorities for a month after her daughter's June disappearance.
Casey Anthony's father, George, testified behind closed doors to the grand jury along with a detective and an FBI agent.
Baez: Everyone Will Understand
Earlier, Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez lashed out at law enforcement and what he called "systematic leaks" in the case as a tearful Anthony stood next to him during a news conference.
Baez and Anthony walked in front of a group of reporters and first discussed a grand jury.
"(The grand jury) is secret for various reasons," Baez said. "One, you don't want it to compromise the integrity of the grand jury. Two, you certainly don't want any targets of the grand jury be aware and three you don't want to have to possibly taint those opinions of the grand jurors. Of course, none of that is being accomplished today. You have a situation where, I truly believe, if a prosecutor wanted to walk in there without calling any testimony, they can ask does anyone want to indict Casey Anthony and they'd all vote yes by now. They'd do this no because of any evidence that has been presented or released in discovery in this case (but) they do this because of the systematic leaks that have gone out from the state attorney's office and law enforcement. Evidence that no one has seen and no one has had the opportunity to test and no one has the opportunity to independently verify."
Baez said Casey Anthony has never run from the situation.
"She is not running from this. She has never attempted to run away from the situation and everyone must understand that. She is doing her best to stand strong before everyone and to standup to the powers that are working against her. They threw the kitchen sink at her a long time ago -- a very long time ago."
Baez then asked people to remember the U.S. Constitution.
"Casey has been going through a nightmare and has been living a nightmare for the last several month," Baez said. "She has a missing child and she is also someone's child. This family has had to withstand something unlike anyone has ever seen. We just ask that everyone respect that and everyone understand what Casey Anthony is going through."
Baez said if the evidence is what it is supposed to be, it will withstand the rigors of cross examination. He warned people not to jump to conclusions.
"That is not why we have people dying in Iraq for," Baez said. "That's not why we have been fighting to keep these freedoms alive. This is the ultimate test. Everyone here should be aware of that and everyone should embrace that. I've told you many times that I understand the freedom of the press but I think it should be fair and balanced. And just because we have yet to disclose or explain Casey's version of events doesn't make it any less credible."
Baez then lashed out at law enforcement.
"The question should be posed and turned around toward law enforcement as to why they are behaving the way they are," Baez said. "Why they are attempting to circumvent our Constitution."
Baez said he has been asked about the politics of the situation.
"I want you to hear it straight from my mouth." Baez said. "These are my words. I understand that there is an election going on and I understand that those days are numbered and I understand that Casey Anthony is public enemy #1 and that the state attorney's office and the sheriff's department is under a great deal of pressure to close this case. I don't think Lawson Lamar -- and I certainly hope -- that Lawson Lamar would not utilize a missing child to keep his job. So, I'm not going to throw out any accusations. We all know what the situation is and if people want to conclude that, I'll allow them to do so. But as far as straight up accusations, it is not coming from me."
Baez also said that he thinks it will be investigated.
"If that is a reality of the situation, it will come out at a later time," Baez said. "I'm not going to engage in any mudslinging. I don't think it has any place here."
Baez said he has been preparing for the very worst.
"I wouldn't be doing (Casey Anthony) a proper service for what is probably going to go down today," Baez said. "We have a court system set up for this and that is what we are going to utilize the system for -- for a search for the truth and nothing more."
Baez urged the media to ask the tough the questions.
"I sincerely believe when we have finally spoken, everyone -- and I mean everyone -- will sit back and say, 'Now I understand and that explains it.'"
Baez then ended the new conference without answering questions.
Baez let nearly all local media crews into his office except for a television crew.
"Casey wants to be here and she has always wanted to speak but she trusts me and will allow me to speak for her," Baez said. "There will be no questions or any blurting out of anything. If there is, of course, you will find yourself out in the parking lot with some other less respectful people (TV crew)," Baez said. "I won't stand for any tabloid reporting or any cheap shots or lack of respect."

Audio Of Secret Proceedings Mistakenly Broadcast Outside Courtroom In Anthony Case
Casey Anthony Indicted On First-Degree Murder Charge, Arrested
POSTED: 5:50 pm EDT October 14, 2008
UPDATED: 6:15 pm EDT October 14, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Audio of a grand jury's secret proceedings in the nationally-watched case of Casey Anthony was mistakenly sent outside the courtroom and to all media outlets plugged into the courthouse system.
"I don't know what was listened to or what was heard until the time that it was turned off," Orange County Chief Judge Belven Perry said. "Everyone who may have heard needs to govern themselves accordingly."
Tuesday afternoon, Casey Anthony was accused in the indictment of killing her daughter even though the child's body has not been found.
A grand jury returned charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators against Casey Anthony in the death of her daughter, Caylee, State Attorney Lawson Lamar said.
However, before the indictment, Local 6 crews realized that audio from the grand jury's secret meeting on the 23rd floor of the Orange County courthouse was being piped out of the building.
Court officers and the state attorney's office were immediately notified of the breach.
After a flurry of activity that could be witnessed outside the grand jury room, the audio feed was cut off and proceedings were suspended.
Perry said court administration was to blame for the mistake. He said the state attorney's office had nothing to do with the mistake.
Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez was notified of the breach.
"This should have been a secret proceeding," Baez said. "There is so much that should not have been leaked and has. It is making a joke of the whole situation. It is a sad day for justice."
Baez said he is researching whether the breach could impact the murder indictment.
Perry warned anyone who heard anything that they should not reveal what they learned under threat of contempt of court.
It is not known if the breach could jeopardize the state's case against Casey Anthony but the state attorney said he does not think it will have an impact on the indictment.

Casey back to jail, questions raised about vehicle swap
Sarah Lundy and Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writers
7:26 PM EDT, October 14, 2008
Casey Anthony is back in the Orange County Jail.
Shortly after 6:30 p.m., an FBI agent and two sheriff's detectives took Casey Anthony from the sheriff's headquarters to the Orange County Jail.
One reporter yelled a question -- "Casey, are you a murderer?" -- but she did not answer.
Unlike the hoodie and jeans she wore the first time she was arrested, this time Anthony wore a white button down shirt, black dress pants and reading glasses.
But although she is in custody under a seven-count indictment, including one for the murder of her 3-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, other questions emerged Tuesday as the saga played out in court, on television and on the roads of Central Florida.
Such as: Sheriff's officials are trying to figure out where Casey Anthony was headed Tuesday afternoon when deputies pulled over the vehicle she was riding in on the BeachLine.
An agency spokesman confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that at some point in the afternoon, before deputies stopped and caught Anthony, she changed vehicles under a highway overpass in east Orange County.
Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, reportedly pulled her vehicle over at Narcoossee Road and State Road 417, and Casey got out. Casey Anthony then got into a full-size grey SUV, which drove off.
It is unclear who owns the grey SUV and who was driving the vehicle.
The Orlando Sentinel called MacDonald Bail Bonds, one of the companies responsible for posting Anthony's $500,000 bond, but a man who answered the phone there said "no comment."

Although, at this time, it’s not confirmed, a 2nd person of interest is to be picked up and arrested, in the latest developments of this case. No one is sure who the 2nd POI is, whether it’s Lee Anthony or one of the many characters in the Casey Anthony saga. Fox 35 made the announcement, that individual has NOT been named, at this time. This is still a rumor and NOT confirmed. It was very brief, that is it.

While in route from her attorney’s office with her mother, Cindy Anthony, Anthony stopped the vehicle under a bridge near Boggy Creek road in south Orange County near an SUV that belonged to the Orange County Sheriff's department. Casey Anthony was placed into the SUV and taken away.

Cindy Anthony Scolds In Street, Casey Swaps Cars During Wild Ride
Excerpt: Anthony jumped back in her SUV and drove into a no-fly zone near the Orlando International Airport and Casey Anthony switched vehicles.
"They pulled a switcharoo," a photographer yelled as the cars stopped underneath an overpass and out of view of helicopters.
A car traveling behind another sport utility vehicle then cut off a Local 6 vehicle.
Local 6 asked Baez about the incident.
"As he attempted to try to get away from them, he didn't know if someone was trying to harm Casey or what," Baez said. "At that point, finally, it turned about to be law enforcement and they in turned pulled him over and (the driver) identified himself as the bondsman."
Anthony was taken into custody by police during the stop.

Caylee's mother Casey Anthony indicted on 1st-degree murder charge
Sarah Lundy | Bianca Prieto and Amy L. Edwards, Sentinel Staff Writers
October 15, 2008
THE 7 CHARGES SHE FACES:
1st-degree murder. Aggravated child abuse. Aggravated manslaughter of a child. 4 counts of providing false information to law enforcement.
The murder case against Casey Anthony is sizing up as a legal battle over forensic evidence -- who or what was in the trunk of her Pontiac Sunfire and how it got there.
An Orange County grand jury heard some details Tuesday as a half-dozen witnesses, including an FBI lab technician and an Orange County sheriff's computer expert, testified behind closed doors about the investigation into what happened to Anthony's daughter, Caylee Marie.

Law experts: Fla. conviction possible without body
By MARK WANGRIN, Associated Press Writer 44 minutes ago
ORLANDO, Fla. - Prosecutors have DNA tests and hair samples. They have testimony about "the smell of death" in the trunk of the suspect's car. What they do not have is a body. Prosecutors building a case against a single 22-year-old Florida mother accused of killing her young daughter will have to rely on forensic evidence and persuade a jury that Casey Anthony lacks credibility and had a motive, legal experts say.
To help build the case, the prosecutor will be using what he described as cutting-edge forensic tests, including air testing for compounds released when a body decomposes.
Prosecutors have not been specific about how the evidence led to charges against Anthony, but experts say it is possible to get a conviction without a body, with several cases, including some in Florida, as examples.
"Sometimes circumstantial evidence is as powerful, or more powerful than the body itself," said Donald Jones, a professor of criminal law at the University of Miami law school.
Since 3-year-old Caylee Anthony's disappearance was reported in July, investigators have taken air samples from her mother's car trunk and tested for the presence of her DNA. Hair samples also have been analyzed. The FBI and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory at the University of Tennessee performed the tests.
"The investigation contains intricate forensics that are on the cutting edge of science," said Lawson Lamar, State Attorney in Orange County.
It's not known how the forensics will play in court or for a jury.
Charles Rose, a law professor at Stetson University in DeLand, said the defense could contest the FBI findings of not being generally accepted. Also a lack of eyewitnesses and compelling physical evidence that directly links Caylee to a crime could be a problem.
"Any of us who've had a child for any amount of time know there's DNA evidence all over our cars," Rose said.
Still, the use of forensic evidence has an increased credibility with jurors because of what he calls "the CSI effect" from the CBS television series, Rose said.
"Right now, the belief is that the right cop with the right case can convict anything," Rose said.
In the air tests used on Anthony's trunk, air is run into a carbon compound filter, such as activated charcoal, which collects the evidence, said Arpad Vass, a research scientist at Oak Ridge. Air is then reversed through the filter, releasing the compounds.
In this case, they were looking for compounds released when a body decomposes.
"We essentially turn into the dust from which we come," Vass said. "We return to the compounds which break down and blow off into the air."
Donald Jones, a professor of criminal law at the University of Miami law school, said the air tests, though likely admissible, probably won't help make a connection the prosecution is seeking. He said the tests only reveal the presence of the compounds, not their source.
The Anthony case also has other pitfalls, law professors say.
The defense could emphasize a lack of motive and blame others who could have kidnapped or killed Caylee. Prosecutors would need to convince a jury why a mother would kill her child.
Besides first-degree murder, Anthony is charged with aggravated abuse of a child and aggravated manslaughter and with four counts of lying to investigators. Caylee was reported missing in July, but her mother told police she hadn't seen the girl since June.
A judge denied Anthony bond Wednesday. Dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit, Anthony made no comment during the minute-long hearing. Her attorney, Jose Baez, declined comment afterward. She will be arraigned in about a month.
Rose said the state has done "a very smart thing" in charging Anthony with murder and manslaughter, because it gives the jury a choice.
"You give the jury a place to run," Rose said.
And the defense may have been handed another argument to use.
During the grand jury proceedings on Tuesday, a microphone was inadvertently left open, broadcasting a feed that television trucks were able to pick up. Chief Circuit Court Judge Belvin Perry warned that anyone who relayed the information could be charged with contempt of court. So far no media outlet has.
Experts said defense attorneys could use the audio leak to contest the indictment.
"An inventive defense attorney can make just about anything an obstacle to the prosecution," said George Dekle, a professor at the University of Florida law school.
Jury selection will be crucial, Jones said.
"Forget about reasonable doubt — if there's one mother in the stands she will wonder, 'How did she not know where her daughter was?'" he said.
For neighbors in Anthony's Chickasaw Park neighborhood in east Orlando, the indictment is a relief because it caused the protesters who picketed outside her parents' home to leave.
"Things have been really hard core, especially at night. People come here drinking beer and many of the neighbors get aggravated and start instigating fights," said neighbor Mike Carter, 45.
George Anthony, Casey's father, said he is pleased that things have calmed down for his neighbors. He would not comment on charges against his daughter.

Judge rules 2 of Anthony's legal motions now moot
5:25 p.m. A judge ruled today that two of Casey Anthony's legal motions are moot now that she has been arrested on a murder charge.
Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland ruled against Anthony's motions to seal documents and allow her to travel. Anthony was arrested Tuesday on several charges including first-degree murder in the death of her toddler, Caylee. The child was reported missing three months ago.
Strickland has not yet ruled on a motion to preserve forensic evidence or a request for him to consider additional testing of evidence.

Threat Of Death For Casey Could Be Used To Help Find Caylee
POSTED: 4:39 pm EDT October 15, 2008
UPDATED: 6:18 pm EDT October 15, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony had the look of dread on her face in court Wednesday and she knows she could face the death penalty. Eyewitness News is asking if the threat of death could force her to help find her dead daughter.
Casey Anthony is living in her tiny jail cell where she'll stay until her trial. She appeared before a judge Wednesday morning, facing first-degree murder charges for the death of her daughter Caylee. The judge told her she would not be allowed to bond out of jail.
Casey Anthony appeared tense as the judge told her she won't get bond. She was all tears Tuesday just before she was indicted for first-degree murder. Hours later, after her latest arrest, she created the bespectacled look of a law student, wearing slacks, a button-up shirt and eyeglasses, not at all like her image before anyone knew her daughter Caylee was missing.
Eyewitness News has learned the party girl in her could have contributed to Caylee's death in a big way. In March, friends told investigators, Casey was disappointed that she couldn't join friends for an island party vacation in July, because she couldn't find a babysitter for Caylee.
Starting in March, Casey's computer shows that someone researched the stories of missing children on several websites. Now prosecutors could pressure Casey with the death penalty to open up about where Caylee is. "No body, no death penalty," Orlando defense attorney William Sheaffer told Eyewitness News.
Sheaffer, a former prosecutor, believes prosecutors will back off the death penalty to ease the pressure that could discourage jurors from convicting Casey of first-degree murder without Caylee's body in evidence, but says the defense team's insistence that Caylee is alive has blown their chance to negotiate Casey out of a possible life sentence.
"The defense has missed the boat on bargaining with the state other than taking the death penalty off the table," Sheaffer said.
Sheaffer told Eyewitness News an experienced defense attorney would have argued it was accidental and negotiated a lesser charge.
With more and more evidence against her in her daughter's murder coming out, Sheaffer told Eyewitness News he believes this is one of Orlando's highest profile cases ever and would not expect the trial to be held in Central Florida or in any of the large television news markets in Florida where Caylee's disappearance has captured people's emotions almost constantly for the last three months.
"I believe it'll be a rural community, not Orlando or Jacksonville or Miami, probably somewhere more toward the panhandle," he said.
Cutting-edge forensic evidence and results from air tests taken from the stain in Casey's trunk are expected to be presented at trial. State attorney Lawson Lamar's team was the first to win a murder conviction with DNA evidence decades ago.
Sheaffer said it won't be daunting for Orlando prosecutors and believes it won't be difficult to prove even to today's rural jurors who've come to expect scientific evidence before they'll convict.
"I believe that those individuals would be prepared to receive it and weigh it," he said.
As soon as the defense asks to see the evidence in the case, prosecutors have 15 days to give him what they know at that point that they will use at trial, but evidence keeps coming in from law enforcement in the ongoing investigation and they don't have all of it yet.
CASEY CONFINED TO 8-BY-10 FOOT CELL
Life behind bars is nothing short of miserable for Casey Anthony. Her 8-foot by 10-foot jail cell has concrete walls on three sides and a Plexiglas wall on one. That means there is no privacy; everything she does is on display.
Eyewitness News was told she spends most of her day reading books and she doesn't have any money in her account to buy anything from the jail commissary.
Casey was being served smoked sausage for dinner Wednesday night.
JUDGE TOSSES TWO MOTIONS
A judge ruled Wednesday on some of the motions filed on Casey Anthony's behalf. Two of the motions have been tossed due to her new arrest on murder charges.
Casey had asked the judge to seal her weekly schedule and to travel to locations of interest in the case. The judge said those points are moot now.
There was still no ruling, though, on the appeal by defense lawyer Jose Baez to do his own testing on the evidence in the case.

The face of Casey Anthony: So what does it tell us?
posted by halboedeker on Oct 15, 2008 6:55:03 PM
So what does Casey Anthony's face tell us? WESH-Channel 2 and WFTV-Channel 9 disagreed in Wednesday newscasts.
WFTV anchor Darrell Greene spoke of her "look of dread" during a court appearance, and reporter Kathi Belich said Anthony looked tense.
But WESH's Bob Kealing said investigators who saw Anthony in the hall said she seemed unfazed by a seven-count indictment, including first-degree murder, in daughter Caylee's disappearance. Kealing said one investigator described Anthony as "cool as a cucumber, even making eye contact and showing a hint of a smile."
I think we'd better get used to a lot of how-does-Casey-look reporting until the trial begins.
The WFTV reports are most riveting because of the details and the reporters' hard-charging style.
In a bit of showmanship, Belich illustrated the smallness of Casey's 8 by 10 foot cell with tape on the grass.
Belich relayed her information with bravura. Was she over the top? Sure, but try to turn away. She has mastered the art of grabbing viewers' attention.
"Channel 9 has learned the party girl in her [Casey] could have contributed to Caylee's death in a big way," Belich said. "In March, friends told investigators Casey was diasppointed that she couldn't join friends for an island party vacation in July because she could not find a baby sitter for Caylee." That information was accompanied by racy photographs of Casey partying.
Belich also reported that a former boyfriend said Casey had stolen money after Caylee's disappearance because "she needed a backup plan." Don't you want to know more?
In the Belich report, Orlando defense attorney William Sheaffer predicted the state was unlikely to pursue the death penalty without a body but added that the defense "missed the boat" in bargaining with the state. Sheaffer later predicted that the high-profile trial would be moved to a rural Florida community rather than be held in Orlando or another big city in the state.
And why is Casey's attorney Jose Baez so upset with WFTV? The station has repeatedly dismissed his skills and did so again Wednesday.
Anchor Greene asked: Is "rookie attorney" Baez, "with his bizarre tactics," up to the challenge of a capital murder trial? Reporter Steve Barrett said, "Most attorneys we talked to believe Jose Baez is way in over his head." Barrett added that Baez could be suspended by the Florida Bar for failure to take continuing education courses.
In other reports, George and Cindy Anthony maintained that granddaughter Caylee is alive. On WFTV, George said he was shocked by the seven-count indictment against his daughter. WFTV and WESH replayed snippets of Cindy's appearance on "Today." WKMG-Channel 6 noted that the neighborhood was quiet without Casey at her parents' home.
The neighbors must be thrilled that her face is in jail.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) --Casey Anthony’s attorney Jose Baez says a television network took his firm’s spokesman’s comments out of context to make it appear he said Caylee is dead.
VIDEO: Baez speaks to the media and says Todd Black’s comments were taken out of context - http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7660286&version=1&locale=EN-US
Spokesman Todd Black said he never told Headline News that 3-year-old Caylee Anthony is dead. Black said Thursday the attorneys for her mother, Casey Anthony, believe Caylee is alive. A body has not been found.
The network interviewed Black on live TV Tuesday and repeated part of the interview Wednesday. Headline News stands by its report. It says the transcript shows Black said "this is a very serious case involving not just the loss of the life of this little girl but the loss of whatever is going to happen with Casey Anthony."
Casey Anthony was arrested Tuesday and charged with murdering her daughter.
Casey Anthony receives first visitor
Casey Anthony, currently housed in a protective custody cell at the Orange County Jail , received her first visitor Wednesday night since she was indicted on a murder charge related to the death of her daughter, Caylee.
A jail spokesperson confirms that Casey’s attorney, Jose Baez, made an evening visit. Baez arrived around 8:20 p.m. and left about an hour later.
Casey has chosen to limit her video visitations to immediate family including her mother, father and brother. A jail spokesperson says that no video visitations have been scheduled at this time.

Legal Expert: Baez Not Qualified To Defend Anthony
Spokesman Says Baez Has Assembled Team Of Experts To Assist
POSTED: 6:16 pm EDT October 15, 2008
UPDATED: 1:50 pm EDT October 16, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- WESH 2 News has learned that Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, is not qualified to represent his client in a capital murder case.
Within 175 days from her indictment, by Florida law, prosecutors have to try Anthony for first-degree murder.
Anthony's daughter, Caylee, was reported missing in mid-July.
The state has strict guidelines for who can and can not represent a capital murder defendant. Legal expert William Shaeffer said Baez does not qualify.
He's not been a member of the Florida bar for five years, criminal procedure,” Shaeffer said.
According to his spokesman, Baez is well aware of this policy and has assembled a team of legal experts to assist him including an attorney qualified to try a death case.
If there is a conviction, Shaeffer said by law it would be up to the jury to recommend a death sentence or life.
"It's highly unlikely a jury recommends life. A judge will come back and give her death," Shaeffer said.
Since Caylee's body has not been found, the state attorney is relying on circumstantial and what he called "cutting edge" forensic evidence.
"This prosecutor's office brought the first successful use of DNA to the American criminal courtroom. We're used to complex evidence and we're prepared to manage the scientific evidence in this case," Lawson Lamar said.

Murder Charges Don't Get Anthony To Talk
Young Mother Offered No Information To Investigators After 4th Arrest
POSTED: 4:25 pm EDT October 15, 2008
UPDATED: 6:03 pm EDT October 15, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- After Casey Anthony’s arrest Tuesday, some investigators were optimistic the gravity of the charge might compel her to tell them some new information.
Investigators hoped a murder charge might get Anthony to crack, but Wednesday investigators said Anthony seemed to take it all in stride.
Within moments of Casey Anthony being arrested and brought to sheriff's headquarters, investigators told WESH 2 she requested to have her lawyer present.
According to a source who spoke with her, Anthony did not offer any new information on her daughter Caylee's whereabouts. Anthony had requested court approval to travel to places of interest in private with her attorney to prepare her case, but on Wednesday, those motions were ruled moot since she was charged with first-degree murder. (The judge has not ruled on another motion to preserve DNA evidence.)
From the sheriff's standpoint, Tuesday did not help them achieve their prime goal.
"I want to remind everyone that we have not achieved our prime objective. We have not recovered little Caylee Anthony," Sheriff Kevin Beary said.
One investigator who saw Casey in a hallway described her as cool as a cucumber.
Even making eye contact and showing a hint of a smile. Soon after, her attorney Jose Baez arrived and politely told investigators his client did not wish to speak with them, WESH 2 reporter Bob Kealing said.
After the grand jury's indictment was handed up, an investigator said they were waiting for Judge Perry to issue an arrest order, which he did.
That meant intercepting Anthony after she'd gotten out of her mother's car on state Road 417 and gotten in with her bail bondsman. He intended to take her back to jail.
Bottom line, that investigator said, they wanted to send a message about who was driving the investigation.
The notion of Anthony being allowed to turn herself in on premeditated murder charge was not an acceptable option.
In a fax, a spokesman for Baez called Anthony’s rearrest show-boating and a sham.
What's next for Anthony could last several weeks.
Both sides are now gearing up for a trial. The state has 175 days to put Anthony on trial for murder.
If Caylee's body is never recovered, long-time Orlando defense attorney and prosecutor William Shaeffer said it will be harder to convict or get a death sentence.
"You're going to have a hard time convincing citizens she should give up her life even if they do believe she committed some level of homicide," he said.
The state accuses Anthony of failing to provide adequate care for Caylee leading to her death, but the indictment does not give a specific theory of how the child died.
But obviously, one investigator said, evidence of chloroform in the car and Anthony's suspected computer searches on the solvent will be key in prosecutor's argument that this was premeditated murder.
Currently, Anthony is at the Orange County Jail in protective custody -- meaning she can see other inmates but can't talk to them.
She spends the better part of 23 hours of the day in her cell with no access to television.
She can request the use of a radio and it's up to the staff if they want to let her use one.
Anthony has one hour a day to shower, make monitored outgoing phone calls, and spend time outside in the recreation yard depending on Weather and jail staff.

Spokesman for Casey Anthony's defense team: Caylee is dead

TODAY'S UPDATES
Baez says team search for a 'live' child
2:31 p.m.
Attorney Jose Baez said his legal team believes missing Caylee Marie Anthony is alive, despite a comment made by a spokesman for his firm that stated the opposite
"Casey Marie Anthony's charged with first-degree murder of the death of her child. So for him [firm spokesman Todd Black] to say that this case is about the death of a child or what will happen to Casey isn't exactly an inaccurate statement," Baez said at a press conference this afternoon held to dispel rumors and clarify statements.
"Todd Black is not a lawyer. He doesn't sit in on our meetings. He doesn't sit in on our client conversations. He doesn't have any legal opinions whatsoever, " Baez said. "He is simply a spokesman for our firm."
Baez reaffirmed that Black's comment was taken out of context.
"For reports to be thrown out there that we think otherwise is just inaccurate and completely false," Baez said.
A team of lawyers, including one that is qualified to defend a death penalty case, is working on Casey Anthony's legal team, Baez said. He would not name the lawyer.
"We are fully prepared to battle it to the end," Baez said.
Prosecutors not investigating comment
1:07 p.m. Orange Osceola State Attorney's Office spokesman Randy Means said his office is not looking into the comments made by Casey Anthony defense attorney spokesman Todd Black regarding Caylee Marie's death.
"Perhaps law enforcement may find his remarks intriguing," Means said, according to Danielle Tavernier, another spokesperson for the state attorney's office.
Spokesman issues statement on earlier comments
12:35 p.m. Todd Black, spokesman for Casey Anthony's defense attorney, just faxed out a press release about his recent Headline News interview in which he implied Caylee was dead.
"Unfortunately what they distributed was completely taken out of context. Todd Black never was stating that there is any belief whatsoever by Casey Anthony or The Baez Law Firm, that Ms. Anthony's daughter, Caylee, might be deceased," the statement said.
"The words used by Mr. Black were referencing the comments of another guest. It was that guest who made the remarks about death, and Mr. Black was merely pointing to that remark by the other guest."
Defense attorney Jose Baez will make a statement at his Kissimmee law office this afternoon.
Casey Anthony's attorney will hold press conference today
11:12 a.m. Todd Black said defense attorney Jose Baez will hold a press conference at his Kissimmee office at 2 p.m. today. The subject of the press conference was not announced.
