Spokesman Says Comment About Caylee Taken Out Of Context
Girl's Mother Indicted On Murder Charge

POSTED: 11:19 am EDT October 16, 2008
UPDATED: 4:03 pm EDT October 16, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla -- The spokesman for an attorney representing Casey Anthony, who is charged with murdering her 3-year-old daughter, said Thursday that they believe the child is alive, and that he never told a cable television network the girl was dead.

"That is our belief," spokesman Todd Black said Thursday. "It's preposterous to report anything else."

The child's mother, Casey Anthony, was indicted Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated abuse of a child, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators. Her attorneys have said she is innocent.

Black was interviewed by CNN Headline News on Tuesday. A transcript released by the network showed 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."

Black said his words were taken out of context.

The network stood by its interview.

"This was a live interview, and it is what he said," said Janine Iamunno, a Headline News spokeswoman.

Anthony told authorities that she had left her daughter with a baby sitter in June, and that when she returned after work, the two were gone.

Anthony said she spent the next month trying to find her daughter on her own and didn't call authorities out of fear. The child's grandmother called authorities and said her daughter's car "smelled like death."

But investigators said the apartment where the baby sitter supposedly lived had been vacant for months and that Anthony lied about her job.

Earlier this week, Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said: "I sincerely believe that when we have finally spoken, everyone, and I mean everyone, will sit back and say, 'Now, I understand. That explains it.'"

Judge denies request to stop evidence testing
4:30 p.m.

Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland just gave Casey Anthony's defense team a mixed bag.

Strickland denied a request from Anthony's attorney, who wanted to stop evidence testing.

The state does not have to stop handling and analyzing forensic evidence, Strickland wrote in a two-page decision.

"The court knows of no authority or logical reason why the state should be prevented, even temporarily, from further analysis of relevant evidence," he wrote.

The defense's request to be notified of any further testing was granted.

Anthony, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie, can have her own expert present to view and document the manner of the examination.

"The right of the defense expert to be present at any further testing does not include the right to interfere with . . . or even comment on the testing procedures as they occur," Strickland wrote.

The state also must make every effort to keep a large enough sample of any items tested so the defense experts can conduct their own test.

The controversial Headline News interview of Todd Black, in which the spokesman for Jose Baez implied Caylee Marie Anthony is dead, was not edited, according to CNN.

"It was a live interview and the quote aired as he said it," a CNN spokeswoman said.

The CNN official also said there was no joking about the case beforehand, as Baez suggested during a press conference this afternoon.

Mike Brooks, a guest on the show, made a comment about Cindy Anthony drinking the Casey Kool-Aid – implying that Cindy Anthony continues to believe what her daughter is telling her.

Mysterious PR Man Backtracks On Comment That Caylee Anthony Is Dead

POSTED: 6:31 am EDT October 16, 2008
UPDATED: 6:22 pm EDT October 16, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony's defense team is backtracking after they finally admitted, on national TV, that Casey's daughter Caylee is dead.

"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," Todd Black said on CNN Wednesday night (Hear It All).

Black is Casey's attorney's spokesman. Not only is he trying to take back his words, so is the attorney and Casey's family.

Todd Black, the spokesperson for Casey Anthony's legal team, admitted on national television late Wednesday that Caylee Anthony is dead. Eyewitness News reached Black by phone Thursday and he denied that is what he meant. He insisted the Baez legal team is confident Caylee is just missing and Casey had nothing to do with her disappearance.

"I did not say that on national television. I responded to what someone else said," Black told Eyewitness News (full interview).

He scrambled for more than five minutes during the call, coming up with different excuses and explanations about what he meant by the comment. But, the bottom line is, he admitted what investigators have long said.

George Anthony brushed it off Thursday morning before he hit the road to drive around the billboard with his granddaughter's picture on it, because he still believes she's alive.

"I don't know why someone would say something like that when everything is circumstantial," George said.

A spokesperson for George and Cindy Anthony called the statement made by Todd Black, someone who's supposed to be on Casey's side, inappropriate.

"If he said something like that and that's what he meant then he shouldn't be representing, working for, Jose Baez because that's an inappropriate statement," said Larry Garrison, Anthony family spokesperson.

The family told Eyewitness News they are even setting up a new tip line that should be ready by Thursday night or Friday. Volunteers from all over the country will help.

WHO IS TODD BLACK?

Eyewitness News has been doing some digging to try to find out exactly who Todd Black is, but he doesn't have a professional track record or paper trail. He works for Press Corps Media. The company claims to have more than 200 employees and an $11 million profit margin, but Press Corps Media doesn't even have a website.

Todd Black has never appeared on camera, only doing interviews over the phone.

ATTORNEY JOSE BAEZ DEFENDS TODD BLACK

Whoever Todd Black is and whatever he looks like, Casey Anthony's defense attorney, Jose Baez, says Black is still working for him and Baez on Thursday also tried to explain Black's comment and tried to downplay the impact of what Black said.

Baez said that Black's comments were taken out of context and that he said it after some jokes were being made about the case to bring back the appropriate gravity to the conversation.

"There were jokes being made about the case. I don't see how anyone could be joking about the case of a missing child or a case of first-degree murder and that is what I believe he was referring to," Baez said during a Thursday afternoon press conference (watch it).

Baez tried to convince reporters that his mysterious PR man, who never shows his face, wasn't really saying Caylee is dead; he was saying the case involves accusations that Caylee is dead.

"Todd Black is not a lawyer. He doesn't sit in on our meetings. He doesn't sit in on our client conversations," Baez said.

Black's comments came after a caller to a CNN Headline News program asked how Casey could party right after her little girl disappeared. Black never answered that question.

"Todd Black still does work for us. In my opinion, he has done a very good job," Baez told Eyewitness News.

Baez said he wants to make it clear that the defense team believes that Caylee is alive and that it's still getting new leads about her whereabouts that are being shared with law enforcement.

"My case looks extremely good if we find Caylee," Baez said.

Baez also said Thursday that he has a death penalty qualified attorney on his team, but that attorney remains as mysterious as PR man Todd Black, because Baez won't say who it is.

Parent's Worst Nightmare: Your Kid's a Murderer
Thursday, October 16, 2008
filed under: 18+
If your child was charged with murder could you testify against them?

On Tuesday, a grand jury returned a seven count indictment against Casey Anthony, including first degree murder charges in the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee.

And now there is another victim in the tragedy. George Anthony, grandfather of Caylee, who did today what his lawyer Mark Nejame said is the "unthinkable" -- he was forced to testify against his own daughter. "This is going to be very hard for me to do," said an emotional Anthony yesterday outside the courthouse, "I love my daughter, I love my wife, I love my son." The grand jury subpoenaed Anthony after returning the indictment against his daughter.

Can any parent imagine the pain of possibly being instrumental in sending their own child off to life in prison or possibly execution? Or the humiliation of having a child capable of murder? Murder has got to be the ultimate parental failure. Most parents of convicted murderers will steadfastly defend their children's innocence for the rest of their lives. Still others will dismiss the child as "bad seed" and disown them, thus exonerating themselves from any responsibility.

"Every parent thinks their child is a reflection of them," says momlogic contributor Dr. Shannon Fox, "and the fact is, parents are the number one influence in a child's life, so if their child murders they definitely have something to do with it." "There are almost always signs of a deeply troubled youth or child," says Dr. Fox, "and most parents simply ignore the signs."

Kurt Whitaker, author of "Murder by Family," certainly ignored the clues. In 2003 Whitaker's son Bart was convicted of murder for arranging to kill his mother and brother in what was named in the press as the Sugarland Conspiracy. Promoting his book on "Oprah" last week, Whitaker admitted that even when local police warned him his son was overheard plotting to have his family killed, he ignored it. "I was concerned about it," say Whitaker in his book, "but just couldn't believe that it could be true."

Does George Anthony believe the unimaginable is true? He says he doesn't, but is he taking steps to convict his own daughter?

Baez spokesman says media misleading public on Casey Anthony case

Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writer
12:51 PM EDT, October 17, 2008

Today's Updates:

Jose Baez's spokesman issues another statement -- says media have been drinking 'too much Palmetto Bug Punch'
12:45 p.m. Todd Black, spokesman for Casey Anthony's defense attorney Jose Baez, issued another statement this morning about the CNN Headline News interview in which he implied Caylee Marie was dead.

The faxed press release begins with "Thank You" in a large font, and then goes on to say: "We have to thank the few, but very respected news people who understood the misuse of a 'delayed' telephone interview, along with deceptive editing to PURPOSELY MISLEAD the public."

The release states CNN released a "complete fraud and stooped to the lowest low, shamefully toying with the life of Casey Anthony, who sits falsely accused of murder…"

It's the second time Black has addressed his statement -- originally made Tuesday night during a live telephone interview on Headline news and replayed Wednesday: "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."

Black stated in Thursday's press release the statement was taken out of context and edited. And during an afternoon press conference, Baez further explained that jokes were being made about the case during the interview, and that's what Black was referring to.

But CNN says no jokes were being told. Mike Brooks, CNN's law-enforcement analyst, made a comment about Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, drinking the "Casey Kool-Aid."

And CNN maintains the interview was shortened for Wednesday's broadcast but that Black's quote aired as he said it.

Today's press release states Black "has never said that Caylee Anthony is deceased, and those who were professional enough to obtain the October 14th interview, in its entirety, reported fairly and truthfully. The rest of the media must have been drinking too much Palmetto Bug Punch."

Casey Anthony's court dates set
10:35 a.m. Casey Anthony is scheduled to be arraigned in the first-degree murder case Oct. 28.

The arraignment will be held at 8:45 a.m. before Orange County Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland.

She has a pre-trial hearing scheduled Nov. 5 for the child neglect and check fraud cases. That also will be heard before Strickland.

Baez Staying As Casey Anthony's Attorney
Thursday, October 16, 2008 5:44:04 AM

ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony made her initial court appearance on charges that she murdered her missing 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit, Casey only said one word during the appearance, by acknowledging Judge John Jordan with a "yes" when he called her name.

After that, he read all of the charges on the seven count indictment a grand jury handed up Tuesday and then ordered her held without bond.

As for those charges, Casey is facing one count of first-degree murder, one count each of aggravated child abuse and manslaughter, and four counts of lying to investigators.

Baez Staying On As Casey's Lawyer, Had No Comment Following Appearance

Casey's lawyer Jose Baez was by his client’s side for her court appearance.

However, Baez did not make any comment on the case when leaving.

On Tuesday, he said in a press conference we haven't heard the full story on the case, and accused State Attorney Lawson Lamar of possibly bringing the case to a grand jury in order to help him win re-election.

Casey's mother and father are also standing by their daughter. On Wednesday, George said that he still believes Caylee is alive.

Meanwhile, since Casey's murder indictment, questions have been raised as to whether Baez will remain her attorney in the case.

According to Todd Black, Baez's representative, Baez will remain on the case to represent Casey on the murder charge.

Black said right now the case has not been declared a capital murder trial, and said Baez has been preparing for this possible scenario, and has a team of attorneys, including one that can handle a capital murder case.

Casey Placed In Protective Custody

Casey is being held under level one protective custody at the Orange County Jail's Female Detention Center.

Under the protective custody umbrella, Casey will spend her days in a cell by herself without inmate contact.

Protective custody is normally used in high-profile cases.

While in jail, Casey will be allowed out of her cell for one hour per day to take a shower, sit in the dayroom and make phone calls.

Additional time out of the cell can be granted at the discretion of the officers.

Attorney visits are allowed anytime.

Caylee Anthony Graces Cover Of People Magazine For Second Time
Missing Girl's Mom Charged With Murder

POSTED: 8:26 am EDT October 17, 2008
UPDATED: 1:18 pm EDT October 17, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- For the second time in the last few months, People magazine has decided to put missing Caylee Anthony on its cover.

The issue, which hit newsstands on Friday with the cover headline "A Mom's Web Of Lies," features a big picture of the 3-year-old with a smaller image of her mother, Casey Anthony, who was charged with first-degree murder in her child's disappearance earlier this week.

Unlike the first story People wrote regarding Caylee, the Anthony family was not interviewed.

Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother, said she felt duped by People after the first article was released.

"We did not in any way mislead anybody about what the story was, which is a story about this missing toddler," said Betsy Gleick of People.

The current story features a lengthy article that recaps the entire story with recently released photos of Casey Anthony allegedly using stolen checks to purchase items.

The story says the family continues to search for Caylee, and a private investigator is following a tip of a possible Caylee sighting two weeks ago, where someone took a grainy pic of a child who looked like the missing girl.

The current story went to press before murder charges were issued against Casey Anthony.

Meanwhile, Casey Anthony is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday, Oct. 28 in her murder case. On Nov. 5, pretrial proceedings are set for her child neglect and fraud cases.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) --Casey Anthony will be making two court appearances within a week of each other. She will return to court for her arraignment on her First degree murdercharge and then again a few days later for a pre-trial hearing in the child neglect and check fraud case.

On Tuesday October 28, 2008 at 8:45 a.m. Anthony will appear before Circuit Judge Stan Strickland for arraignment in the First Degree Murder Case.

She will return to court on November 5, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. for the child neglect and check fraud cases. Circuit Judge Stan Strickland will also handle that appearance.

Anthony went before a judge Wednesday to hear charges she killed her daughter, a day after she was indicted after four months of searches yielded no sign of the child.

Casey Anthony, 22, went before Judge John Jordan, who read the charges against her and denied bond. Dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit, Anthony made no comment during the 90-second hearing. Her attorney, Jose Baez, declined comment afterward.

Anthony was arrested Tuesday after a grand jury indicted her on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee.

The child's grandmother first called authorities in July to say that she hadn't seen Caylee for a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

Casey Anthony told authorities that she had left her daughter with a baby sitter in June, and that the two were gone when she returned from work. She says she spent the next month trying to
find her daughter and didn't call authorities because she was scared.

Investigators immediately started poking holes in her story. The apartment where Casey Anthony said she had left her daughter had been vacant for months, they said. They said she also lied when she told them she had been working at an area theme park as an event planner.

Investigators also accused her of stealing checks from a friend and cashing them. She was charged with felony child neglect and making false statements along with forgery and theft. She was released on $500,000 bail and confined to her parents' home.

Dress Found In Woods, Similar To Caylee's
Friday, October 17, 2008 2:35:01 PM

ORLANDO -- A dress found in the woods is now taking center stage in the search for Caylee Anthony.

Investigators said they're testing and reviewing a small dress that is “very, very similar” to a dress belonging to the missing 3-year-old.

The dress was found in the woods last weekend near the airport during a brief new search by the Texas based group Equu-Search.

The dress has now been sent out of state for forensic testing.

Meanwhile the toddler’s mother will be back in court later this month.

Casey Anthony is set to be arraigned on Oct. 28 on first-degree murder charges.

She was indicted earlier this week.

A second court date is then set for Nov. 5 for the child neglect and check fraud charges.

George Anthony Talks To News 13

George Anthony, the grandfather of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, spoke exclusively with News 13 Thursday about the family's latest efforts to find his granddaughter.

Anthony said his family has been cleared by a judge to access all 5,000 tips recorded by the Orange County Sheriff's Office tip line.

This comes after the judge in the case denied the defense's motion to preserve forensic evidence. See previous story.

Anthony added they are disturbed by the fact the Sheriff's Office shut down the tip line in mid-august.

The family's private investigator is looking into multiple potential sightings of Caylee, 3, around the country, including New York and South Carolina, Anthony said.

"We've been getting info out about Puerto Rico, because we believe that's where she is, but the info I've gotten over the last three months is that my granddaughter has been to nine different locations," Anthony told News 13.

Anthony is working to find a new location for the Kid Finder's Network command center, where you can find the Caylee Anthony information billboard, as well as information on other missing children.

Complaints by protestors have forced the billboard off of four different properties.

Find toddler, grandmother urges police

'Caylee Is Alive'; No body, but mother charged with murder
National Post news services

Published: Friday, October 17, 2008

The investigation into the disappearance of two-yearold Caylee Anthony, a doe-eyed, brown-haired child from a Florida suburb, began when her grandmother called police.

In a 911 call in July, Cindy Anthony said her daughter's Pontiac Sunfire "smelled like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

Officers immediately interviewed Caylee's mother, who readily admitted she had not seen her daughter for a month. Casey Anthony, 22, said she had left the girl with a babysitter and when she returned to her Orlando, Fla., home from work they had both vanished.

She did not explain why she told no one the child was missing.

This week -- despite not having found a body -- police charged Casey Anthony with murdering her daughter and accused her of lying to them, friends and family. If convicted of murder, she could face the death penalty.

But the woman who started the investigation has accused police of launching a narrowly focused probe that was intent on finding a murderer, rather than a living Caylee.

"I know Caylee is alive," Cindy Anthony said on MSNBC's Today show.

"I know my daughter. There is nothing in this world that could make me believe that Casey did anything to Caylee. There has never been any child neglect, child abuse or anything. This young lady loves her child, more than I love Casey."

"Casey Anthony is Public Enemy No. 1," her defence lawyer, Jose Baez, said in a press conference at his office this week as his client stood next to him and wiped tears from her eyes. "Casey is going through a nightmare. She has a missing child. She is also someone's child. This family has had to withstand something like nobody has ever seen."

Since her initial call to police, Cindy Anthony has changed her story about the smell of a dead body. The smell, she says now, was the result of an old pizza and trash in the car.

However, investigators say sniffer dogs detected the smell of a decomposing human. The trunk also contained hair identified as belonging to Caylee and tests found traces of chloroform.

There was also evidence the mother had researched the chemical and its effects on the Internet.

But Casey Anthony has stuck to her story about leaving her daughter with a babysitter, a woman she named as Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez. However, the address she gave turned out to be an apartment that had not been occupied for months.

Police have cleared Ms. Fernandez-Gonzalez, a 37-year old mother of six, who says she has never met the Anthony family.

However, she told a TV station she looked at an apartment and filled out a form at the complex where Casey Anthony said she dropped off Caylee before she disappeared.

Ms. Fernandez-Gonzalez has also filed a defamation lawsuit against Casey Anthony.

Meanwhile, police have released interviews with the suspect and accused her of lying.

"Everything you've told us is a lie!" says an investigator. "Every single thing! If the main thing you want to do is find your daughter, and you don't think lying to us is gonna help find her, why would you do that?"

"Because I'm scared, and I know I'm running out of options. It's been a month," she replies.

"I'm scared, that I don't know where my daughter is."

Cindy Anthony maintains her daughter is telling the truth and says her granddaughter has been spotted at Orlando airport with people and also in Georgia since her disappearance.

"I believe Caylee is with someone that Casey had trusted. And I believe that Casey has been, you know, betrayed. It's unfortunate that it's going to take the average citizen to bring Caylee back home to me alive, and not the authorities," said Cindy Anthony.

A court has ordered authorities to hand over to the Anthony family names of people who have called reported sightings of Caylee.

"There's a lot of people out there that have seen Caylee," Cindy Anthony said.

"We're going to reach out to those people once we get their names and we're going to go ahead and start tracking them down ourselves.… I know in my heart that we are going to find Caylee before this trial takes place."

Casey Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and providing false information to a law enforcement officer.

What's next for Casey Anthony?

Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writer
October 17, 2008

Casey Anthony was indicted in the purported death of her young daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. If she pleads not guilty, a long legal battle is sure to follow as both sides argue about what really happened to the toddler.

Here is a look at what is up next in the legal process:

*On or before Nov. 3: By law, Anthony is required to be arraigned within 21 days of her arrest. She will enter a plea of not guilty, guilty or no contest. She will have a right to a trial if she pleads not guilty. She will be sentenced if she pleads guilty or no contest.

*On or before April 16, 2009: Trial is expected within 185 days of Anthony's arrest, unless she revokes her right to a speedy trial. If she does that, there is no time limit on when the case will be taken to trial.

Volunteer group plans to resume search for Caylee Anthony
Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writer
October 18, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY - Texas EquuSearch, the volunteer group that organized the ground search for Caylee Marie Anthony, will start searching again Nov. 8. Organizers will determine later where the command center will be, EquuSearch search director Mandy Albritton said. The group suspended its search last month because the high water levels caused by Tropical Storm Fay prevented 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. In other developments, Casey Anthony will be arraigned on the most recent charges filed against her -- including first-degree murder -- on Oct. 28. The arraignment will be before Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland, though she already entered a written plea of not guilty. She has a pretrial hearing before Strickland scheduled Nov. 5 for the child-neglect and check-fraud cases previously filed against her.

Few women face execution -- but will Casey Anthony?
Amy L. Edwards and Susan Jacobson | Sentinel Staff Writers
October 16, 2008

Prosecutors say Casey Anthony killed her child, but will they push to send her to death row?

First-degree murder is punishable by death, but the history of female killers executed in Florida during the past 150 years is brief.

The state has executed only two women in the modern era. The third, a slave who killed her master, was hanged in the mid-19th century.

Of the nearly 390 people on Florida's death row, only one is a woman.

Leonard Birdsong, an associate professor at Barry University School of Law in Orlando, said women are rarely sentenced to death. And he does not think Anthony, who was indicted Tuesday in the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee Marie, is a good candidate.

The young single mother has no prior criminal history, is not an obvious predator and has made no known confession, he said. He also suspects Anthony could have psychological issues.

"If I were a prosecutor, this probably would not be the case I would seek the death penalty," Birdsong said.

Only 1.5 percent of death-row inmates nationally are women, said Richard Dieter, executive director of the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center. But most of those 51 women killed someone they know: a husband, boyfriend or their own child, he said.

The decision to seek the death penalty often is tied to politics and community outrage rather than the heinousness of the homicide, Dieter said.

Even so, though the Anthony case is the kind of crime that shocks the public, "many women have killed their children and don't get the death penalty," he said.

Randy Means, spokesman for State Attorney Lawson Lamar, said Wednesday that he could not discuss prosecutors' plans for Anthony. But he did say they will make a decision in the next few weeks.

Months to investigate

Anthony, 22, reported her then-2-year-old daughter missing in July, insisting she disappeared in mid-June with a baby sitter. Detectives doubted her story from the beginning and accused her of lying. Although no body has been found, the indictment handed down Tuesday in Orlando charged her with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.

During a brief hearing Wednesday, a judge ordered her held without bail.

Prosecutors must weigh several factors in deciding whether they will seek the death penalty.

Florida law lists a number of "aggravating circumstances" that can be cited to justify execution, such as whether the homicide was committed in a cold, calculated and premeditated manner.

They'll look at the mitigating circumstances -- also outlined in state law -- such as whether the defendant acted under extreme duress.

In the end, it comes down to whether the aggravating circumstances outweigh the mitigating.

"It's like doing math without numbers," explained Bob Dekle, a retired prosecutor who teaches legal skills at the University of Florida.

At times, bargaining chip

Bartow defense attorney David Carmichael said the state typically seeks the death penalty in only the "worst of the worst" cases. But if they think the case warrants it, they will pursue the ultimate punishment regardless of the strength of their case.

"At its worst, it's a tool for negotiating the case for a plea bargain," Carmichael said. "At its best, it's an indication of the prosecutor striving to be consistent . . . they're trying to apply the law uniformly."

The evidence presented to the grand jury that indicted Anthony is secret. But information disclosed so far appears to focus on Anthony's lies and evidence from her car, which had a foul odor. The trunk contained hair and a mysterious stain. Traces of chloroform were detected and someone researched the chemical on her computer, according to some sources.

Anthony, her lawyer and her parents continue to assert that Caylee is alive, however.

Orlando attorney Ed Mills, whose career includes the defense of a suspect in the beating deaths of six people in Deltona in 2004, said the Anthony case could pose problems for a trial jury, which must decide first whether to convict and then, if jurors find a suspect guilty, whether the death penalty is appropriate.

"I think that it's going to be important for somebody to know how this child died," he said.

Mills said he had never seen Lamar propose the death penalty when he didn't have a sufficient legal basis, but he questioned whether prosecutors have enough evidence to seek execution in the Anthony case.

"They are going to at least need more than what it appears that they have at this point," Mills said.

Famous bounty hunter joins search for Caylee Anthony

The Associated Press

Published: Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 4:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 4:47 p.m.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla will help search for Caylee Anthony, who disappeared earlier this year when she was 2 years old.

Padilla, called the "World Famous Bounty Hunter," will join Texas Equusearch in looking for the girl when Equusearch returns to Florida on Nov. 8.

The group suspended its search last month. That's because high water levels caused by Tropical Storm Fay prevented a close examination of a search area in the woods in east Orange County.

Padilla had previously helped arrange for $500,000 bail for Casey Anthony, Caylee's mother. He also predicted they would find Caylee within a week.

Anthony family holds another vigil for Caylee
Last Edited: Monday, 20 Oct 2008, 8:49 AM EDT
Created: Monday, 20 Oct 2008, 8:49 AM EDT

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Anthony family held another prayer vigil for Caylee Sunday night. George and Cindy Anthony say more than a hundred people showed up to pray for their missing granddaughter.

While the search for her continues, George Anthony says he is moving his information center from a Publix near their neighborhood to a Wal-Mart near Goldenrod and Hoffner. He says Publix's corporate office drove him out.

FBI testing dress

Federal investigators are testing a new piece of evidence in the case. The FBI is testing a dress for DNA. A Tampa based rescue group found the dress last week in a wooded area. Some say it couldn't be Caylee's dress because it's too new and the wrong size.

Caylee's grandmother Cindy Anthony says she found the dress in question in a closet and showed it during a national interview.

Baez on Geraldo

Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez says his team is excited to try and prove his client didn't murder her daughter Caylee. Baez appeared on FOX News channel's Geraldo at Large Sunday night.
He says people will see Casey's innocent when they tell her side of things. "Once we are able to show her version of the facts I think the entire world will sit back and say 'Now I understand.'"

Baez wouldn't say whether he'd put Casey on the witness stand during her trial.

Padilla returning to Orlando

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is headed back to Florida. He is expected to help in the search for Caylee Anthony when the Texas firm Equusearch is also expected to return.

Padilla had previously helped arrange for $500,000. Bail for to get Caylee's mother Casey out of jail. Casey's family and defense team continue to say Caylee is alive.

Casey Anthony's attorney finalizing defense team

Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writer
1:59 PM EDT, October 20, 2008

The spokesman for Casey Anthony's defense attorney faxed out a press release today again addressing a CNN Headline News interview in which he implied Caylee Marie was dead.

Todd Black began the press release with the words "IN FLORIDA" in a very large font. He stated Baez has no planned media interviews this week, nor are there plans for press releases. He also said Baez is continuing to finalize his defense team, including experts to review scientific elements of the case.

He then stated: "FINAL WORD ON THE CNN INTERVIEW."

"The comments by Mr. Todd Black were taken out of context. CNN and other media has focused, only, on one segment that was edited out of the entire interview," the release states."

It's the third time Black has addressed his statement -- originally made Tuesday night during a live telephone interview on Headline news and replayed Wednesday: "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."

Black has said the comment was taken out of context and edited. Black said he never said Caylee was deceased. Baez also explained his spokesman was referring to jokes that were being made about the case during the interview.

But CNN says no jokes were being told. Mike Brooks, CNN's law-enforcement analyst, made a comment about Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, drinking the "Casey Kool-Aid."

CNN maintains the interview was shortened for Wednesday's broadcast but that Black's quote aired as he said it.

In a release Black faxed out last week, he said the media "must have been drinking too much Palmetto Bug Punch."

Casey Anthony: Profile Of A Sociopath
Written by Dr. Juliann Mitchell, PhD
Published October 19, 2008

Casey Anthony has finally been indicted for the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Casey is a sociopathic, superficial sensationalist. To a mental health professional, she fits the description of someone with an antisocial personality disorder - just a fancy name for "sociopath."

The disorder is recognizable by a lack of concern for others, as evidenced by her behavior after Caylee disappeared. She did not call 911 to report her daughter missing; that task was left to her mother, weeks after Caylee disappeared. While her daughter was missing, Casey was out ”clubbing”, buying lingerie and other sundry items for herself from Target, and cooking dinner for her boyfriend and his roommates.

Casey has consistently displayed contempt towards authority figures, masked by a thin veneer of civility. Listening to the police tapes, it is easy to see that Casey appears to be quite respectful to the police interviewers. She portrays herself during these interviews as one who has been wronged by a (fictitious) babysitter named Zanny, who, according to her story, kidnapped her beloved Caylee. Casey has been, according to her and to her family, maligned, misunderstood, and martyred.

In reality, Casey believes she is above the law. She presents herself as a mother who is only interested in finding her child. Yet she has done nothing but lie to the police and fabricate stories.

Everything she does is designed to protect herself by outwitting and outsmarting the legal authorities. She continues to display a great disdain for law enforcement, as evidenced by her unwillingness to tell the truth or be in any way helpful in locating her daughter.

Psychopaths are superficially charming in their ongoing attempts to get their own way. Casey has the capacity to read others quickly and recognize their vulnerabilities. Once recognized, she knows how to exploit others' weaknesses. She seems to have no qualms about violating the rights of others. Casey stole her friend's checkbook and wiped out her bank account, and not a cent of the money was spent on Caylee.

It is typical for sociopaths to engage in illegal or deceitful behaviors. Compulsive lying is the norm. Guilt and remorse are not in their vocabulary. All sociopaths are incapable of feeling sorrow or sadness for their wrongdoings and destructive behaviors. Any tears you might see are for themselves. “I am crying because I got caught, not because I am sorry for anything I have said or done.” On some level, a sociopath takes perverse pleasure in getting away with illegal, irresponsible behaviors. Yes, a sociopath takes great joy in taking from others. "Joy" is the correct word.

To a sociopath, others are always expendable: family, friends, acquaintances. Once others have been bled dry, the sociopath moves on. Loyalty is not a part of who they are. They have no desire to change and no insight into their own behaviors and motivations. Caylee is missing, but Mom is partying and lying to both her friends and family about her daughter’s whereabouts.

Page 2

Sociopaths are narcissistic and exhibitionistic, with no sense of shame. Nothing exists in their world but what they want - the ultimate “Me, Me, Me” syndrome. They are characterized by an excessive superficiality, in both thoughts and behaviors. They are easily bored and made restless by day-to-day responsibilities, an attitude which makes consistent parenting a drag and an impossibility. Sociopaths create their own reality, and in this instance, Casey’s world did not include her daughter.

Casey was a parasite, living off of others. She had no high-school education, no job, no goals, no direction. But, to hear her story, she worked at Universal Studios and was attending college. A sociopath always views his or her problems as stemming from flaws in others, rather than taking responsibility for his or her own issues and the havoc they have created.

As a sociopath, Casey wants to control her own destiny and create her own reality, abhorring any form of criticism or denigration. At some point, she might experience feelings of depression. These feelings would not be because her daughter is missing or dead, but because she lacks the freedom she craves. Having been arrested and accused, she is no longer in charge of her own fate, and for a sociopath, who values freedom more than anything else, that is devastating.

Interestingly, sociopaths like Casey will expect others to attempt to belittle or use them. At times, the sociopath will willingly act in such a manner as to induce others to legitimately respond in a hostile or angry manner. Casey has repeatedly demonstrated this with her continued lying, lack of sadness about her daughter’s disappearance, and few displays of emotions related to the fact that her daughter Caylee is missing or dead. Listening to the taped interviews, one can easily discern that Casey expresses almost no emotion when discussing her daughter’s disappearance.

Sociopaths are incapable of remaining in love, or of even selflessly loving anyone. Their sex lives are most often impersonal and chaotic, and frequently they are bisexual. There is in them an emptiness, a coldness, a disconnection from others and themselves. Casey is incapable of truly understanding how much others can be made to suffer as a result of her behavior. It does not compute.

A sociopath's motto is: Competition is king, survival the agenda, and no one is ever, ever, ever to be trusted. A sociopath's mantra: “Do unto others before they do unto you.”

BEHIND BARS: A Day In The Life Of Casey Anthony

POSTED: 4:30 pm EDT October 20, 2008
UPDATED: 5:29 pm EDT October 20, 2008

Casey Anthony is broke and lonely. Eyewitness News is taking a look inside the Orange County jail at a day in the life of Casey.

It seems even Casey's solitude won't get her to talk about her daughter Caylee. Besides a few lawyers, Casey hasn't had a single visitor.

Casey is in the Female Detention Center building along John Young Parkway near I-4. She's in a first floor cell and it's a stark existence that she might have to get used to for a long time.

Casey Anthony, high-spirited party girl, is now one of the loneliest women in Central Florida. Accused of murdering her daughter to free herself of maternal encumbrances, she now finds herself not only childless but friendless.

Casey can see out through a glass wall, but everyone else can see in.

"There is no privacy in jail," jail spokesman Allen Moore told Eyewitness News.

Casey's alone about 20 hours a day in her cell. She eats alone there. Monday it was cornflakes for breakfast, turkey hotdogs and beans for lunch, Salisbury steak and gravy and potatoes for dinner. She does get dessert three times a day if she wants.

Casey can have photographs on her shelf if she wants, but Eyewitness News was told there are no photographs, not even of Caylee.

The family she's stolen from has never put any money in her jail account, so she can't buy things like candy and diet sodas.

No one in her family has asked to visit her. She's made no phone calls.

"She reads, she sleeps," Moore said.

Casey visited her attorney six hours a day while she was out of jail on home confinement. Now she's seen her lawyers a total of only six hours in the last week since her indictment on first-degree murder.

ACCESS TO FBI LAB TESTS MAY BE DENIED

It looks like one of the court requests made by Casey's lawyer, Jose Baez, won't do any good.

A judge told Baez he could have access to view some of the forensic testing in the case. But there's a problem. The FBI is conducting the testing in their labs and the judge has no jurisdiction over the federal agency.

The FBI won't likely allow Casey's defense team into its labs.

BUSINESS JOINING SEARCH FOR CAYLEE

Even some business leaders are getting involved in the search for Caylee's body. Top management at Manheim Auto Auction in Orange County say they'll help an employee search in the woods off Boggy Creek Road near Orlando International Airport.

An employee named Paul Kovach called Eyewitness News last week saying he saw a woman who looked like Casey Anthony leave the woods with a shovel back in June.

Mom of missing girl won't face neglect charge

Associated Press - October 21, 2008 10:04 AM ET

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Orange County officials will not pursue child neglect charges against the mother of a missing Florida girl because she is already charged with first-degree murder.

The child neglect charges were based on the assumption that Caylee Anthony was still alive, according a court media release. Casey Anthony has also been charged with aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators.

Lawson Lamar, the State Attorney prosecuting the case, declined further comment. Officials said in the release that they don't wish to feed a media frenzy that would lead to a change of venue.

Caylee Anthony was last seen in June but her mother did not report her missing until July. A body has not been recovered.

Cindy Anthony Provides Details Regarding The Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation, Inc.

Cindy Anthony has setup the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation, Inc. Paperwork was sent in on Oct.14th, 2008, as you can see here, which shows the date filed and will include the status. It’s in the process of being developed, the process is a bit slow.

As I explained to her, I felt people should know what the organization is about, what purpose it will serve, and what this organization’s mission statement is. Direct from Cindy, she can tell you in her own words:

The core purpose of the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation, Inc. is to be a non profit organization to specifically look for missing Caylee as well as to offer assistance to families of other missing children. Even when Caylee is found, George and I want to offer our help to anyone who may be going through the same thing that we have been through. I want this to be a positive outcome for everyone. There are so many people who go through this every day that we do not hear about. If it hadn’t been for Josh Duckett we would not have known who to turn to those first few days. I want to set up an organization that has resources for people to tap into. This is going to take a lot of time and energy but this is my vision. Cindy

So, the organization being setup will be a non profit, legal 501 charity, that won’t only be setup to find Caylee but other missing kids, which I think is important. Cindy is right, in the regards that missing kids are always in the news, it would be a good thing for families to have a place to turn to for resources.

Now, I’m sure the Anthony’s would be held under scrutiny, in light of this foundation, considering they would probably be taking in donations. So, it’s important for people to know, as a legal charity, I’m sure that they would follow the rules and set it up properly. I don’t believe for one second that Cindy would set herself up, it’ll be a slow process I’m sure, but at least you know what the true vision is.

It’s a nice thing to do to honor the memory of Caylee Marie Anthony.

-

What disturbs me is a lot of the filler that is out there regarding the foundation being setup and the Help Find Caylee location. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Goldman family of the O.J. Simpson trial make millions off O.J., his name, his book deal, and Nicole Brown Simpson? Where was the outrage then? They continue to reap the profits off Nicole Simpson. The foundation serves as a base for Caylee and other missing kids, not a front for shady activities.

Another comment was made regarding Cindy being able to make payroll. When you set up a board, the board members are paid to serve on that board, now, I’m not aware if she intends on setting up a board, but stop. If we’re going to nitpick, let’s go after board members who sit on every non profit group. If she is helping missing kids and develops the foundation properly under the IRS guidelines, I don’t see an issue.

The owners of BlameZany are profiting off the Casey case as well as countless others, let’s go spearhead them and demand they not accept money.

I am not aware of how the money used from the foundation. At the same time, lies are being put out which are unheard of. Let’s dissect these rumors:

It was mentioned that Websleuths shut down the donations thread because the Anthony’s are being investigated by law enforcement. WRONG. Websleuths got called out because their charity they’re sponsoring, Lighting The Way Home, is not a legal charity & myself, along with various others, called them out on this. ( :mad: Shame on WS :no: )

Law enforcement is not investigating George & Cindy Anthony. Their attorney, Mark Nejame, can back that statement up, regarding charity fraud.
Some individuals have no lives, so they start their morning with orange juice, bacon & eggs, and bull****. Stick to the facts of the matter and pull your head out of ass. Do I agree that things could be handled differently with the Anthony’s regarding the Casey Anthony case, sure. Do I think that the Anthony’s are defrauding people, no. You quote your information from a rumor mill site, who’s own site is being investigated now for charity fraud. Kind of odd that they would say that, yet they’ll do anything to cover their own mistakes.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony's rookie lawyer is getting some help. Jose Baez doesn't have the credentials to try a death penalty case, so he's enlisted the help of a Miami lawyer who's defended some brutal murderers.

Miami criminal defense attorney Terence Lenamon has joined the Casey Anthony defense team. Two of the three high-profile murderers Eyewitness News knows he's defended are on death row. The other is serving five consecutive life sentences.

Terence Lenamon would not talk to Eyewitness News on Tuesday. He's now part of accused killer Casey Anthony's defense team. She could face the death penalty for the murder of her daughter Caylee. Her attorney, Jose Baez, is not qualified to handle death penalty cases, but Lenamon is.

Lenamon is a highly-rated defense attorney. Still, two of three high-profile murderers he's defended in recent years are on Florida's death row.

One of them is known as "The Miami Stranger." Harrel Franklin Braddy, 59, was sent to death row last year for literally feeding little Quatisha Maycock to the alligators in the Everglades after strangling her mother and leaving her for dead. The jury voted 11-1 for death. Braddy had already been convicted of choking a corrections officer. Lenamon had tried to convince the jury the little girl's murder was not intentional, but "a horrible mistake".

Two months ago, a jury voted 8-4 to send another of Lenamon's clients to death row, 31-year-old Wadada Delhall, for murdering a key witness who testified against his brother in a murder case.

One of his high-profile Miami murder clients did escape the death penalty. Cesar Mena, 29, a member of the so-called "Orlando Boys," who raped and killed Ana Maria Angel and stabbed her high school sweetheart, is serving five consecutive life sentences.

Casey's defense attorney keeps insisting Caylee is still alive, even though a grand jury indicted her for premeditated murder after hearing the evidence the FBI and Orange County sheriff's investigators have against her.

If Caylee's body is not found before trial, it's unlikely Baez will need help from a death penalty-qualified attorney, because without a body there probably would be no push for the death penalty.

CHILD NEGLECT CHARGES DROPPED

Orange County officials will not pursue child neglect charges against the mother of a missing Florida girl because she is already charged with first-degree murder.

The child neglect charges were based on the assumption that Caylee Anthony was still alive, according a court media release. Casey Anthony has also been charged with aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators.

Lawson Lamar, the State Attorney prosecuting the case, declined further comment. Officials said in the release that they don't wish to feed a media frenzy that would lead to a change of venue.

OVER $100 DEPOSITED INTO CASEY'S JAIL ACCOUNT

Now Casey Anthony has a little money to play with in jail. Her bail bondsman deposited $51.26 into her jail account Tuesday. That's more than the $50 her father gave her.

So what could Casey buy with her $100-plus from the jail commissary? She could get a moon pie for 60 cents, a bra for $5.99, about the same price she paid at Target, or she could buy herself a sympathy card for $2.

More Caylee Anthony Photos, More "Licensing"
Tipsters tell TVNewser that NBC News paid $5,000, for a "Cindy Anthony interview." Cindy Anthony is the mother of Casey Anthony who is in jail on murder charges in the case of her daughter, Caylee. The interview took place on the Today show last Wednesday.

An NBC spokesperson tells TVNewser, "NBC News does not pay for interviews. NBC News paid a nominal licensing fee for photos, which is very common in the industry."

Last month, a tipster told TVNewser that a "major media organization" helped fund the bail for then-jailed mom Casey. An ABC News insider told us the company paid upwards of $200,000 to license images and video for a 20/20 report. The figure was not confirmed by ABC, although they did tell TVNewser they licensed footage from "rights holders."

Anthony wasn't out of jail long. She's now facing first-degree murder, manslaughter and other charges after a four-month-long investigation. Caylee, who vanished two months before her third birthday in mid-June, still has not been found.

Casey Anthony's parents: Caylee is alive
Amy L. Edwards and Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writers
7:57 AM EDT, October 22, 2008

Today's updates

Anthonys believe they will find their granddaughter alive
7:42a.m. George and Cindy Anthony said on national television that they think their granddaughter, Caylee Marie, is still alive and have not given up hope, despite a first-degree murder indictment against their daughter, Casey.

The couple appeared on the Today Show this morning and were interviewed by Meredith Vieira.

George Anthony refused to answer questions about his subpoena to testify in front of a grand jury last week. "I cannot comment," he said.

Orange County officials announced last week that they think the child is dead and charged Casey Anthony with first-degree murder, among other charges, following the grand jury indictment. Cindy Anthony called the move another "tactic" to prevent her daughter's lawyers from viewing their evidence.

The evidence that points to a decomposing body in the back of Casey Anthony's car and traces of chloroform found in the same place have not been released yet to the public. Cindy Anthony thinks it's all circumstantial and can be disproved.

When Vieira asked George and Cindy if they are in denial about their granddaughter's death, they said no.

"My granddaughter is still alive," George Anthony said. "My granddaughter is still out there and we are going to find her."

Casey Anthony has been in jail since last Tuesday after being arrested on the side of an Orange County freeway. Her parents have not spoken to her since that day. Casey Anthony asked them to remain focused on finding Caylee, and keep the spotlight off of her, Cindy Anthony said to explain the reason they have not visited or spoken to her.

George and Cindy Anthony to appear on national morning show
6:59 a.m. Casey Anthony's parents are scheduled to make an appearance on national TV this morning on the NBC's 'Today' show.

Cindy and George Anthony are in New York for the appearance scheduled for 7 :30 a.m.

Anthony Family Sets Up Tip Line Despite Evidence Proving Caylee Is Dead

POSTED: 10:33 am EDT October 22, 2008
UPDATED: 11:18 am EDT October 22, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- In spite of the evidence proving otherwise, the Anthony family insists missing toddler Caylee is still alive. A new tip line was up and running Wednesday morning.

Eyewitness News first reported the family's plans to start the new tip line last week, hours after the spokesperson for Casey's attorney admitted on national television that he believes Caylee is dead (read previous report).

The tip line number is: 1-888-231–5618.

OVER $200 DEPOSITED INTO CASEY'S JAIL ACCOUNT

Now Casey Anthony has a little money to play with in jail. Wednesday morning, Nola Copeland deposited $50 and Joyce Story deposited $100. It's unclear who the two women are.

Her bail bondsman deposited $51.26 into her jail account Tuesday. That's more than the $50 her father gave her on October 18.

So what could Casey buy with her $200-plus from the jail commissary? She could get a moon pie for 60 cents, a bra for $5.99, about the same price she paid at Target, or she could buy herself a sympathy card for $2.

Casey Anthony May Have Searched Online For Chloroform Recipes

POSTED: 4:42 pm EDT October 22, 2008
UPDATED: 5:23 pm EDT October 22, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Did Casey Anthony kill her own daughter with chloroform? Eyewitness News has learned someone was looking up the recipe to cook up the chemical on Casey's home computer around the same time Caylee disappeared.

There was evidence of high levels of chloroform in the trunk of Casey's car and sheriff's investigators found that someone on Casey Anthony's computer was researching not where to buy chloroform, but how to make it yourself, which can be done easily.
Eyewitness News legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says, if you were up to no good, there would be an advantage to making it as opposed to buying it.

When you Google "how do you make chloroform," more than a million websites are listed with instructions. On the first one, page one had an explicit warning about chloroform's dangers, calling the chemical extremely dangerous and unpredictable and warning never to allow children to come near chloroform.

FBI lab tests show high levels of chloroform in the trunk of Casey's car, where investigators say Caylee's body had been. And there was a mysterious stain in the trunk along with Caylee's hairs and dirt.

"Another piece of evidence in the circumstantial chain," Sheaffer said.

Sheaffer said it's significant because, if Casey made the chloroform as opposed to buying it, she could have been trying to cover her tracks. Buying it would have generated some sort of record.

"This way certainly, she could argue, 'Alright, I was interested in looking into how to make chloroform, but I never did.' Or, 'That's why you smelled chloroform in the trunk area, because I was experimenting in making it,'" Sheaffer said.

Record or not, the jury would be faced with a compromising question for Casey.

"Why would you need to make chloroform. For what purpose?" Sheaffer questioned.

Last week, the Orange County grand jury heard from the FBI and one of the sheriff's computer investigators and that information is going to be released to the public very soon.

NBC News just confirmed it paid a "nominal" fee for photographs as part of its coverage of the Casey Anthony case.

The Orlando Sentinel asked NBC to address a rumor that it paid George and Cindy Anthony for their interview on the Today Show this morning.

A spokeswoman said in an e-mail: "NBC News does not pay for interviews. NBC News paid a nominal licensing fee for photos, which is standard in the industry."

She would not say how much NBC News paid.

The Sentinel also asked the Anthony's spokesman, Larry Garrison, if any member of the Anthony family has received compensation from news or entertainment organizations.

Garrison replied via e-mail, "No family member is receiving money for interviews."

NBC News confirmed it paid a "nominal" fee for photographs as part of its coverage of the Casey Anthony case, the same day her parents appeared on the Today show and told a national audience they think their missing granddaughter is still alive.

The Orlando Sentinel asked NBC to address a rumor that it paid George and Cindy Anthony for their interview on the morning broadcast.

A spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail: "NBC News does not pay for interviews. NBC News paid a nominal licensing fee for photos, which is standard in the industry."

She would not say how much NBC News paid.

The Sentinel also asked the Anthonys' spokesman, Larry Garrison, if any member of the Anthony family has received compensation from news or entertainment organizations.

Garrison replied by e-mail, "No family member is receiving money for interviews."

Meanwhile, Texas EquuSearch, the volunteer group that organized a large ground search for Caylee Marie and is preparing another, is looking for current or former members of the military, law enforcement officers or firefighters to serve as team leaders for the next search.

EquuSearch is expecting several thousand volunteers when it resumes its search Nov. 8.

California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla said Wednesday he will return to Central Florida to assist in the search, and he has rallied his peers to join.

Padilla said he hopes as many as 500 bounty hunters and bail agents will come to Orange County to search.

"It's a challenge. It's a challenge in the industry to see if we can get the job done," Padilla said. "Bounty hunters do the impossible."

Anyone interested in serving as a team leader can call James A. Copenhaver at 407-897-1184.

CASEY'S ATTORNEY TO START QUESTIONING WITNESSES

Casey Anthony's defense attorney is going to start questioning his first prosecution witnesses in the case next Thursday. Among those being questioned is an employee at the Amscot on Goldenrod and Highway 50 where Casey abandoned her car in late June, employees from Johnson's Wrecker Service, the company that towed the car from the Amscot, and Casey's ex-boyfriend Tony Lazzaro.

What do they all have in common? They all had access to Casey's car.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) --A spokesperson from the Orange County Corrections Department said Casey Anthony did not place a commissary order Wednesday evening, and has missed out on her chance to until next week.

Casey currently has $251.26 in her inmate account. The money has been deposited by her father, a bail bonds group and two other persons who she does not know. She was allowed to place an order for up to $70 worth of items. It is not clear why she turned down her opportunity.

The items she can purchase include shampoo, underwear, shoes, a bible, batteries and assorted candies.

Casey’s defense attorney’s Jose Luis Garcia and Jose Baez both visited her at the jail Wednesday evening. They had overlapping visits and spent about one hour with her.

Her family has not scheduled any video visitations at this time.

Casey remains jailed on the following charges: first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and four counts of obstructing a criminal investigation and giving false information to law enforcement.

The charges are all related to the disappearance of her little girl, 3-year-old Caylee Marie, who has not been seen since June.

Earlier this month, Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland ordered the state to turn over reports dealing with evidence found in the trunk, including traces of chloroform, hair stands and air samples.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If she did bury the child in a bag -- I can`t -- I can`t even fathom this, but if she did bury her child in a bag and they do find the body, would you still be able to find traces of chloroform or still be able to determine death if the child was in a concealed bag underground?

If those facts were true, could you detect chloroform?

LAWRENCE KOBILINSKY, FORENSIC SCIENTIST, CONSULTANT TO CASEY ANTHONY DEFENSE TEAM: I think examining a body for chloroform would really depend upon the state of decomposition. If a.

GRACE: Is that a yes or a no?

KOBILINSKY: If the body is skeletonized, no.

GRACE: If the body is skeletonized, that means skin, flesh, soft tissue gone.

KOBILINSKY: Gone.

GRACE: But if a child were buried in a bag, there would still be remains?

KOBILINSKY: Possibly.

Casey Rented Movie About Murder On Day Caylee May Have Died
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 – updated: 6:10 pm EDT October 29, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- June 16 is the date Caylee Anthony likely died. Eyewitness News retraced Casey Anthony's steps on that fateful day and talked to the man who saw Casey just hours after Caylee's death.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
» BLOCKBUSTER SURVEILLANCE: Casey Inside Store June 16
» CLERK INTERVIEW: Blockbuster Employee Talks To WFTV
» VIDEO REPORT: Retracing Casey's Steps On June 16

"No emotion, no tears and no regrets," is how Casey was described on that day of death, when she rented a movie about a kidnapper and killer just hours after, detectives believe, she murdered her daughter.

Never before seen surveillance photos show accused killer Casey Anthony and her boyfriend walking into an east Orange County Blockbuster (see map) just before 8:00pm on Monday June 16, just hours after her daughter Caylee was last seen alive by Casey's father at home.

The new photos show Casey without Caylee, arm in arm with her boyfriend, after they chose two movies to rent. One rented was "Untraceable," about a kidnapper and killer. The other was "Jumper," about a mother who abandons her 5-year-old child, who then can teleport himself.

"They came in, went out," Johnny French told Eyewitness News. "Brought the movies back on time just like everybody else."

French rented the movies to Casey and her boyfriend that night. He said there was nothing about the couple that stood out as unusual.

"They seemed normal and she seemed fine. If there was something wrong it would have stood out. I just don't remember them doing anything unusual," French said.

Casey's phone records show she made seven phone calls in the three and half hours between 2:45pm and 6:15pm that afternoon, the time during which investigators think Caylee may have died. Two were made to Arden Villas Apartments off University and Alafaya, apparently to friends. Casey's ex-best friend, Amy Huizenga, told investigators Casey called her that day and said she needed to find a place to live.

Caylee's grandfather told investigators the last time he saw Caylee was at 12:50pm on June 16. He remembered her sunglasses and her ponytail as she left with Casey, who claimed they were spending that night at the nanny's.

"That's the last time I saw my granddaughter," George Anthony told investigators.

Investigators say Casey stayed on the east side of town, as usual, during the six hours or so between when Caylee was last seen alive and she showed up her with her boyfriend, but her exact whereabouts are unclear.

REPORTS OF SCOTT PETERSON LETTERS UNTRUE

Eyewitness News has learned a strange new twist being reported in the Casey Anthony case doesn't appear to be true. The Orlando Sentinel reported an exclusive story Wednesday that convicted murderer Scott Peterson has been sending Casey letters from his cell at the San Quentin State Prison in California.

When Eyewitness News started asking questions, the prison spokesman at San Quentin looked into it and said, based on information developed at the prison, there is no truth to that story. The prison spokesman said he was never contacted about the story before it ran in the Sentinel.

WOMAN FROM CALIFORNIA SENDS CASEY $75

A third complete stranger has donated cash to Casey Anthony's jail account. A woman from California sent Casey $75.

Eyewitness News was unable to contact Michelle St. Clair of Spring Valley. She's the second Californian to send Casey money. Another woman, in Oxnard, California, told Eyewitness News last week she felt sorry for Casey.

A third stranger, from Apopka, also sent money last week.

The donations bring Casey's jail account to $326.

Now Casey Anthony's name has been dragged into a judicial race.

In an unusually strong attack for a typically low-profile contest, Circuit Court judge candidate Fred Schott on Wednesday accused candidate Jim Turner of possibly breaking one of the "same criminal laws" that put Anthony behind bars.

Turner is outraged that Schott is trying to draw a comparison between Anthony's check-fraud case and the apparent deficit showing on Turner's campaign account.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Casey Anthony will be receiving several items from the jail commissary for the first time since her incarceration.

She spent a total of $66.07 on items including toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner. Casey also placed orders to buy items she could use to write letters, including a purchase of stamps and envelopes.

The Casey Anthony-Jose Baez hugs: How big a deal?

posted by halboedeker on Oct 31, 2008 6:16:11 PM

When is a hug just a hug or an ethical lapse or the focus of over-the-top reporting?

The latest news in the Casey Anthony story -- hugs between the suspect and her attorney, Jose Baez -- was getting dramatically different intepretations Friday.

"No way, Jose," WFTV-Channel 9 anchor Bob Opsahl said in opening the 5 p.m. Friday news. "Now hugs have him in trouble." Anchor Martie Salt added: "Lawyers are never supposed to touch their clients, especially like this." It was all rather breathless.

WFTV's Mary Nguyen reported that Baez and Casey Anthony "were too friendly during their visit" and an officer had to separate them. WFTV reported that Baez said he didn't know the rules and pleaded with a guard not to write up the hugs. The guard wrote that Baez was "upset as he hugs all of his clients."

Videotape of their "intimate meetings" have been recorded over, Nguyen said, and "their potentially damaging alleged love tapes are not available."

"Alleged love tapes?" Jail officials saw no romance in the hugs.

"Despite the report that aired on one local TV station, there is no public record to support that these two incidents were anything more than social hugs or comforting hugs," jail spokesman Allen Moore said in an e-mail.

Moore repeated the "social hug" comment on WOFL-Channel 35. Moore told WKMG-Channel 6 that Baez had been nothing but cooperative and professional when approached on the issue. WKMG reported that jail officials consider it a closed matter.

But a viewer had complained to the Florida Bar about Baez's behavior after seeing WFTV's initial hug report Thursday night. The Florida Bar could revoke his license, Nguyen added.

WFTV's promotional machine wondered how much worse it could get for Baez. "The Florida Bar is on his case. The damage this could do to Casey's murder trial. All new at 6," an announcer said.

Earlier, on WFTV's noon news Friday, anchor Vanessa Echols said, "Tonight at 5, startling descriptions of the hugs and how intimate they were from our exclusive sources."

But the information didn't sound that startling or intimate.

Back at 6, WFTV opened its newscast with Opsahl asking: "Is it attorney-client privilege or friends with benefits? The news of Casey Anthony's possible relationship with Jose Baez is out."

Wow.

Opsahl added that Channel 9 was first station to report on the Baez-Casey Anthony hugs that suggest the two "may be getting too close for comfort."

I'm not sure there's much reason to boast about this story.

Casey Anthony Detective Told To Stop Blogging About Case
Monday, November 3, 2008 – updated: 6:14 pm EST November 3, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The case against Casey has grown so big, even the lead detective got caught up in the publicity. Eyewitness News has learned Detective Yuri Melich has been reprimanded by his bosses for blogging about the case online.

Melich started blogging when other bloggers started complimenting him. He told bloggers he was sleuthing the web secretly looking for clues in the case. But after he saw a lot of flattering stuff about himself, he posted on websleuths.com as Dick Tracy Orlando to thank bloggers for their kind words.

One blogger on websleuths.com claimed to be the president of the "WWYMD" fan club, meaning "What Would Yuri Melich Do?" One blogger was floored over how awesome Melich's work was after watching the interview Melich did with Casey Anthony's mother a couple of weeks after Casey's arrest.

Bloggers also asked about Melich's leg after seeing him on TV with a crutch. On September 20, he posted as "Dick Tracy Orlando" about how he had broken it in three places during training. He thanked them for their concern, writing, "Thank you for keeping Caylee on the forefront. We are all working for her."

Melich signed off with, "Please continue to keep the Anthony family in your prayers."

Even so, the Anthony family's attorney, Mark NeJame, took issue with it and complained to the sheriff's office. Melich's bosses then told him to stop, concerned that his communications with bloggers would be portrayed as an endorsement of some of the other opinions they expressed against Casey.

Eyewitness News legal analyst William Sheaffer calls the issue a tempest in a teapot, but says the sheriff's office was smart to put an end to it.

"Let's not give the defense or the defense supporters any issues, real or imagined, to work with in this case," he said.

Casey's defense attorney's public relations firm said Monday that "anything on the blogs we don't pay attention to," because they're unreliable.

It probably would backfire on the defense to bring up the bloggers, since many of them believe Casey Anthony murdered her daughter Caylee.

CASEY COULD BE BACK IN COURT

Casey Anthony could be back in court in two days. A pre-trial hearing is set for Wednesday morning on charges of check fraud and lying to investigators.

Casey can attend the hearing, but it's unclear if she will. Casey is expected to be tried on those charges in a few weeks.

Her trial on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter Caylee is set for January 5.

MYSTERIOUS PR MAN TAKEN OFF CASE

The mysterious man named Black is off the Casey Anthony case.

Todd Black was hired by Jose Baez's law firm to be a spokesman for Casey's defense team. But, a couple of weeks ago, Black slipped up and admitted on national television that Caylee Anthony is dead.

The case was handed over to another PR worker from the same firm Monday. The firm claimed the decision had nothing to do with Black's performance.

Anthony’s forced to move search headquarters after vandalism

Last Edited: Monday, 03 Nov 2008, 9:17 PM EST
Created: Monday, 03 Nov 2008, 8:51 PM EST

By Holly Bristow
FOX 35 NEWS

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- It's been 110 days since 3 year old Caylee Anthony was reported missing. Her grandparents still hold out hope she'll be found alive.

But for the 5th time since the little girl disappeared, the grandparents have to move their search headquarters.

"Right now our focus is on finding Caylee," said Cindy Anthony, the missing girl's grandmother.

Anthony says someone is making that hard for them these days. They have to leave their fifth location for a sixth. So far they've been located in two Publix supermarket parking lots, outside of a fruit stand and in a skating rink parking lot.

"Its not just forcing us George and I off with Caylee's stuff,” Anthony said “Its forcing Jennifer Kesse's picture off there, Trenton Ducket's picture, the Bernhards, a lot of other children.”

The Help Find Caylee headquarters is sponsored by Kidfinders. So it has pictures of missing children from across the state of Florida.

Anthony says they are being forced to move their headquarters, because again, their current location is being inundated with complaints.

"Its multiple calls...multiple e-mails, faxes," said Anthony.

Anthony said the trouble makers continue until they are asked to move their site.

According to her, they threatened to picket stores. And Anthony says someone has vandalized the site multiple times. Vandals defaced signs, and put tape all over tables and even a large mobile billboard the family tows around.

The vandalism continues even with big signs posted all over the mobile office that read "YOU ARE BEING VIDEOTAPED BY A REMOTE LOCATION...YOU WILL BE ARRESTED".

"It's just one more thing we have to deal with,” Anthony said.

Tuesday the KidFinders Network will be signing a lease on a permanent office space for their new headquarters, which will also house the Help Find Caylee commander center.

NG's show was primarily dedicated to the Hudson Family Murders - the portion below is where Caylee was discussed....

NANCY GRACE
Aired November 3, 2008 - 20:00:00 ET

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Only Casey knows where she really took Caylee. But this we know for sure. Just before 8:00 p.m., seven hours after Caylee was last seen alive, Casey and Tony Lazzaro were at this Blockbuster near his apartment on University Boulevard

There`s Casey, there`s Tony. But by now, Caylee is nowhere to be seen. Lazzaro told Local 6, he had not seen Caylee at that point for two weeks

These pictures are one reason investigators believe June 16th may have been the day Caylee died

GRACE: Straight out to Mark Williams with WNDB News Talk 1150

Mark, what`s the latest?

MARK WILLIAMS, NEWS DIRECTOR, WNDB NEWS TALK 1150: Well, the latest is, of course, those cell phone pings, and that`s going to be a very important part if and when she comes to trial

First off, 90 percent -- 97 percent of those cell phone calls were either made from the parents` house, Tony Lazzaro`s house, or from her ex- best friend`s house, Amy Huizinga. However, there is a big gap in that cell phone conversation and her usage, either text messaging or voice messaging on the 16th from the time

GRACE: OK. Hold off. Wait a minute, Mark. Let me just clarify something. There -- when we say it`s unusual for there to be a break in the cell calls, Mark, this woman had to be 500 and 800 calls and texts within this period of time, 500 and 800

So for her to have a chunk of time like four or five hours where she is cell-free and text-free is highly unusual. So, Mark -- Mark Williams, tell me what`s new? What do you know new about the pings?

WILLIAMS: Well, that`s what I`m trying to get to. For example, you know, even though she was the cell phone and text messaging queen, for almost 12 hours, she did not use her cell phone whatsoever. And some of the pings have been located near Boggy Creek Road and Trade Port Road near the Orlando International Airport, and that`s one area where this search on Saturday that`s being coordinated by Tim Miller of Equusearch is going to concentrate on

They think there may be something there

GRACE: To Leonard Padilla, bounty hunter now helping to search for Caylee Anthony, tell me about the search and how it relates to these pings or lack thereof

LEONARD PADILLA, BOUNTY HUNTER, HELPING TO SEARCH FOR CAYLEE ANTHONY: Well, the pings on a cell phone give you a -- a cell-tower is a three-sided object. And it can give you a direction that the phone was in up to three quarters or a mile and a half

So it`s going to be relatively easy to find areas to search where the pings came from at the time. Now, Mark is right. There are times when the phone was dead. She didn`t use it. But the times that she did use it when it starts back up and she uses it is at an area

So you get enough people out there, you`re going to be able to find the areas where these pings were from. It`s not going to be a big mystery. Everybody is on the same page as far as the pings. They are certain and definite where they came from

GRACE: Leonard, who are the thousand searchers that you and Equusearch have managed to amass for the search?

PADILLA: Well, you`re responsible for a lot of it, because a lot of people contact me, and the first thing they say is, "I watch Nancy Grace every night," they e-mail, they say, I watch Nancy Grace, we`re going to be there

A lady called me this morning. She says, I just left Oklahoma, I`m headed for Florida. A couple from Arizona, four bail bondsman from Arizona, they`re all heading in that direction starting tomorrow

GRACE: You know, Leonard, have you actually thought about it? I know you`re going to be out there searching, if you happen upon anything? Have you actually thought about that?

PADILLA: Yes.

GRACE: And?

PADILLA: Well, we sit around the office sometimes, like we did this morning, and we we run up some videos on the computer showing bodies decomposing, what they look like, what to look for

And, you know, it`s like Caylee is a part of the family. It`s definitely she is a part of the office

GRACE: You know, I want to ask Dr. Deltito, back to you. Doctor, how is it that we become so attached to a little girl we have never even met?

DELTITO: Well, it`s a classic story of once you get to know someone, even if from afar, they can be incorporated into your life. To a certain extent, we project the feelings that we have about other little girls who being -- for those of us who were little girls themselves, or when we were much younger interacting with little girls, on to the little girl

GRACE: Well, I got to tell you something, Doctor, I thought I knew it all about being a crime victim until I gave birth to the twins and, especially, when I think about little Lucy and I think about what has become of little Caylee, it`s almost unbearable

I think we project a lot on to these crime victims, especially little Caylee, somebody so young, so innocent, just beautiful

DELTITO: Right. And given the profession that you`re in and the other gentleman is in, you know that there are bad people out there. You`ve seen the bad act. These things are so much realer to you and the sense of imminent danger to your own children is so much larger, looming psychologically, than someone who does not actually interact with this material on such a regular basis

GRACE: I want to go to Ben Levitan, telecommunications expert, joining us tonight

Ben, you`ve been reviewing all of tot mom`s cell phone text records. About how much time was she spending on the phone and texting?

BEN LEVITAN, TELECOMMUNICATIONS EXPERT: Nancy, this is absolutely amazing. You`re absolutely right. I did a four-day period of time around the 16th. And Casey Anthony is texting on an average of 12 messages an hour. Not a day. 12 messages an hour

There was a one-hour period on the 14th where she texted 66 messages. This woman is addicted to text messaging. I think if Caylee wanted her diaper changed she would have to text her mom

This is just outrageous, how much time she spends on the phone. And looking at my records right in front of me here, I see three hours of a four-hour -- four-day period where she did not send a text message.

GRACE: And to Michael Sapraicone, former NYPD detective, that makes it all the more relevant, these hours that she went without texting and calling

11-04-2008, 12:05 PM

MICHAEL SAPRAICONE, FORMER NYPD DETECTIVE: Well, apparently, she was busy doing something else at that time. And that`s, I think, what the police -- law enforcement is going to look into. What was she doing during those times that she wasn`t texting?

GRACE: And where was she?

SAPRAICONE: Right

CINDY ANTHONY, CASEY ANTHONY`S MOTHER: There`s only one reason that my daughter would keep her mouth shut. And my daughter would sacrifice going to prison and (INAUDIBLE) for her life, is to protect this child

GRACE: Straight out to Nikki Pierce with WDBO

Nikki, I understand that grandmother Cindy Anthony broke down at a vigil. What can you tell us?

NIKKI PIERCE, REPORTER, WDBO RADIO: Well, it was one of the weekly vigils that they`ve been holding on Sunday nights when their supporters and friends come to pray and spend some time with them. And a little girl that was the same age as Caylee approached Cindy and hugged her. And she broke down, understandably

GRACE: Back to Ben Levitan, telecommunications expert

Ben, you stated that tot mom is spending about 12 texts per hour. What about cell calls?

LEVITAN: Well, those are mixed in as well. And primarily, she is texting. There are a number of calls to her boyfriend. There are a number of calls to family. But there`s nothing that`s unusual about those calls. Those are people she generally would call

GRACE: Right

LEVITAN: What she is not doing is sleeping, because I did an analysis of the time that she spent from the last text message of the night to when she sent the first text message of the next morning

On average, on the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th, she was sleeping three to four hours a night. And all of a sudden something happened on the night of the 16th. She slept 12 hours. And then the next two days she slept, oh, about 10 and 12 hours

And then a pattern goes back to three and four hours. So clearly something happened during that time

GRACE: Incredible. With me, Ben Levitan, telecommunications expert

Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland will be hearing the case. In September, the State Attorney’s Office officially charged Anthony with three fraudulent use of personal identification charges, three counts of forgery of a check and three charges for uttering a forged check.

George Anthony Seen Near Woods Where Teams Searched For Caylee
Tuesday, November 4, 2008 – updated: 5:24 pm EST November 4, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Caylee Anthony's grandfather is desperate to find his granddaughter. An eyewitness reportedly saw George Anthony standing and staring into the woods near Hoffner Avenue in east Orange County (see map).

Eyewitness News has learned a search team could be looking for the little girl's body in the same place George was spotted. The area has already caught the attention of investigators. It was searched in September when EquuSearch was in town last time.

Now, a WFTV viewer says she saw George Anthony at the same spot early in the evening on October 30 looking into the woods. The area is easily accessible by car, yet easy to disappear into and it's less than four miles from where Casey Anthony and Caylee lived with Casey's parents.

The WFTV viewer said she saw Caylee's grandfather George's car parked in the area around 6:15pm on October 30 and that he was staring into the woods. Then she saw him get into his car and drive away. She figured he was looking for Caylee and the information was passed on to law enforcement.

Casey's defense team's public relations representative said they were aware George was there, that it has nothing to do with what the defense is doing and that there might be certain things that involve the case that they can't talk about.

The sheriff's office says tips that fit in with the investigators' timeline of Casey's whereabouts will be investigated and searched and Casey's phone records show that it's one of the areas that she frequented.

EquuSearch is back in town, too, making plans for the next search scheduled to begin on Saturday. EquuSearch said Tuesday it's getting things organized and training the volunteers. They're expected to search for Caylee for three or four days.

One of the areas they'll return to, to finish what they started, is near Orlando International Airport, where a third of the territory they wanted to search was covered in water from Tropical Storm Fay.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Caylee's grandmother Cindy text messaged WFTV reporter Kathi Belich to say George was looking at the woods to scout out another possible location for the KidFinders tent that they take around town asking for donations and tips in the case.

Casey Anthony and the election: the two stories dominating local news
posted by halboedeker on Nov 4, 2008 12:51:01 PM

The election and Casey Anthony have been the two big stories in local news in recent months. The election is almost over, but the Anthony story is going to be with us for weeks to come.

First to the election ... WFTV-Channel 9 has offered a fine and important report about how thousands of Florida voters are registered in other states. That's not a crime, but voting twice is.

The ABC affiliate worked with sister stations in Florida and Ohio on the election investigation. The stations found that 100,000 Floridians also may be reigstered in Georgia or Ohio. WFTV reporter Eric Rasmussen said 42,000 people may be registered in Florida and Georgia.

The main finding: No one has been checking voter registration across state lines. But the WFTV report has prompted Florida and Georgia to look into the problem and combat possible voter fraud. Good work, WFTV.

As for the Anthony case ... WKMG-Channel 6 is offering a multi-part report about Casey Anthony's movements in June, when daughter Caylee Anthony disappeared. Reporter Tony Pipitone illustrated how Casey Anthony moved about by tracking her cell phone. The detailed report should fascinate anyone who has been following the case. And more reports in the series are coming this week.

But there have been problems with other Anthony reports. WFTV announced Monday that the lead detective in the case, Yuri Melich, has been "reprimanded" for blogging about it.

Not so, the Orange County Sheriff's Office told me. Melich was told to stop blogging, but he was not reprimanded or punished in any way.

WFTV also announced that mysterious public-relations figure Todd Black, who is working for Casey's defense attorney Jose Baez, is off the case.

Not so, according to the public-relations firm. The firm is rotating reps on the case, but Black remains on it, too, according to a message on the firm's answering machine.

Judge: Anthony’s murder case should be heard first
Last Edited: Wednesday, 05 Nov 2008, 11:33 AM EST
Created: Wednesday, 05 Nov 2008, 11:33 AM EST

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Wednesday morning, the State presented its case against Casey Anthony on grand theft and check fraud charges.

Casey Anthony, who did not appear in court, was represented by her defense attorney Jose Baez. He made a motion to continue the case on the theft charges and also waived his client’s right to a speedy trial.

Baez asked Judge Strickland to consider continuing the theft and fraud case before hearing her first degree murder charge case.

The judge did grant Baez’s motion to continue the case, but said this “judicial economy may be best served by hearing the murder case first,” after the State objected to trying the murder case before the check fraud case.

Strickland also asked the State if they had decided whether or not to seek the death penalty in her murder case and it said it was not; that the decision had not been made yet.

Casey Anthony Check Fraud Pretrial Hearing Begins
Wednesday, November 05, 2008 10:09:56 AM

ORLANDO -- The pretrial hearing in the check fraud case against Casey Anthony began Wednesday morning.

Anthony is accused of writing checks and withdrawing money from Amy Huizenga, a former friend.

Anthony did not appear in court for the hearing, and remains in the Orange County Jail, also charged with first-degree murder in the possible death of her missing 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Casey Anthony was seen on surveillance video walking into a Target in Winter Park July 10. About 1 1/2 hours later, she was seen at a Target in Waterford Lakes.

She was also caught on tape withdrawing money from a Bank of America July 15, the day her daughter was first reported missing.

Anthony is due back in court Dec. 11 for a pretrial hearing on the murder charge.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A pretrial hearing was held for Casey Anthony on check-fraud charges on Wednesday.
Anthony was not required to attend the hearing.

A judge was asked to consider putting aside the check-fraud case until she's faced trial on murder charges involving the death of her daughter. The judge said it would be taken under advisement.
Another pretrial hearing is also scheduled for Dec. 11 in that case.
Prosecutors said they believe they have enough evidence to prove she killed Caylee Anthony even though a body has not been found.

Casey Anthony's Attorney Wants Trial Postponed
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 – updated: 2:01 pm EST November 5, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The case against Casey Anthony went back to court Wednesday morning, but without Casey Anthony. She did not attend the pre-trial hearing about the check fraud charges against her.
Casey's accused of taking checks from her friend and going on a shopping spree at an Orange County Target.

During the hearing Wednesday morning, the defense told the judge it wants to dedicate its time and resources to Casey's first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse case and also said it's considering asking for a delay in that trial and also possibly for the trial to be moved, but hasn't made those decisions yet.

The defense wants to put off Casey's trial for grand theft and check fraud charges until after the murder trial and seemed to suggest that if Casey's convicted on the more serious charges involving her daughter's death, that the much less serious check charges might not matter anymore.

Prosecutors want to try the check charges first, possibly because the evidence is strong, with videotapes of her using stolen checks; then she might be going into the murder case with convictions on her record.
After the hearing, Casey's defense attorneys said prosecutors are stalling in giving him all the evidence they have against her, particularly the thousands of tips that were called in about Caylee's whereabouts. He said he's gotten less than half of them so far.

"She says she gave the child to a babysitter that no one can find. Doesn't the key lie with her? Why do you need to rely on stranger's tips when she is the one who could really lead you in some direction?" WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked attorney Jose Baez.
"Kathi, I'm not going to discuss theories of defense or anything we plan on bringing out in court. The truth is, under the rules of discovery we're entitled to it," Baez said.

Baez has received more evidence from prosecutors recently, including more cell phone records and investigator interviews. They will be released publicly as soon as Wednesday.

Casey Anthony's Attorney Gets Check Fraud Trial Delayed
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 – updated: 4:28 pm EST November 5, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- At first, the tactic was lie, lie, lie. Now, Casey Anthony's defense strategy may be stall, stall, stall.

Her lawyer got a delay Wednesday in Casey's trial on check fraud charges (watch hearing). He may be trying to delay her murder trial, as well.

Casey's defense attorney says he's considering whether to ask the judge to put off her January murder trial and possibly to move it out of town. Jose Baez is accusing prosecutors of stalling in handing over all the evidence they have and is hoping for a hearing to address it.

"We all believe [Caylee is] alive and, if these tips, if there's one credible tip in that 5,000, it's worth us going through them," attorney Jose Baez told Eyewitness News on Wednesday.

The defense is accusing prosecutors of purposely releasing all the psychics' tips first just to make it appear as though there were no credible tips showing Caylee is alive. The Anthonys claims about following her kidnappers and getting closer to finding her don't seem to be panning out.

"She says she gave the child to a babysitter that no one can find. Doesn't the key lie with her? Why do you need to rely on stranger's tips when she is the one who could really lead you in some direction?" WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked attorney Jose Baez (full interview).

"Kathi, I'm not going to discuss theories of defense or anything we plan on bringing out in court. The truth is, under the rules of discovery we're entitled to it," Baez said.

Investigators said the tips are not panning out because Caylee's gone.

"Do you think she's being open and honest with you?" Belich asked Baez.

"I don't think it's wise to make statements about my communication with her," he said.

The defense wants to try the check fraud charges after the murder trial because, Baez said, he wants to focus all his energies on the murder trial. He even came close to suggesting, if she's convicted in the death of her daughter, the check charges could become unimportant. Prosecutors are against that.

The judge said he'll decide next month.

Biggest-Yet Caylee Search Planned
Pretrial Hearing Held In Anthony Case

POSTED: 9:37 am EST November 5, 2008
UPDATED: 6:41 pm EST November 5, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The search for Caylee Anthony is about to kick in to high gear this weekend.

Texas Equusearch is back in town, and they hope to conduct their largest search ever this weekend.

With water levels and temperatures down, the group hopes to attract 3,000 or more volunteers from 30 states to search three main areas beginning Saturday at 8 a.m.

The group has spent the day getting reorganized. They plan to establish a command post near Orlando International Airport in an area where cell phone records show Casey Anthony spent time. They're asking for volunteers to come out with horses, ATVs and boats. They plan to do a lot of water searching using sophisticated sonar equipment.

"We may be looking for something that's very small. The bones may bear no resemblance to a human at this point," forensic investigator Gary Peterson said.

Equusearch leader, Tim Miller, said the group has been mapping for three weeks and has an incredible set of maps put together.

All the areas that will be searched are tied to areas where there's evidence of Casey Anthony's cell phone use about the time of her daughter's disappearance.

"What a better gift could this whole county have than some closure in this case. They've been involved with this almost the entire year," Miller said.

At the same time, they said they plan to do a companion search for Jennifer Kesse. The Orlando woman vanished from her condo near the Millenia Mall almost three years ago.

Also on Wednesday, the state attorney's office said technical difficulties are preventing them from releasing 200 pages of new documents in the case against Casey Anthony.

Meanwhile, a pretrial hearing was held for Casey Anthony on check-fraud charges on Wednesday.

Anthony was not required to attend the hearing.

A judge was asked to consider putting aside the check-fraud case until she's faced trial on murder charges involving the death of her daughter. The judge said it would be taken under advisement.

Another pretrial hearing is also scheduled for Dec. 11 in that case.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Texas based Equusearch is back in Orlando to resume their search for Caylee Anthony .

The man in charge of Texas Equusearch, Tim Miller and his team are back in Orlando gearing up for this weekend's search for Caylee and Jennifer Kesse .

With maps and some help from the Orange County Sheriffs office, Tim and his team have identified three key areas to concentrate on. “These three areas where all the phone activity happened. Anywhere from a five to eight mile radius around all three towers and use some common sense on where someone could go and to possibly sump something and get out without being seen.”

Miller had to call off the last search because much of the area they needed to comb through was under water. This time Miller says conditions are right. “Water is way down, its fall, vegetation is starting to die down, another plus for us and we're hoping the weather stays cool...better for searchers.”

So far they have 250 team leaders signed up. Equusearch is expecting thousands of volunteers which Miller says has had him thinking and feeling optimistic. “Maybe it's God's time. The holidays are right ahead of us. What better gift to give to this family and this community than bringing this to a close.”

The new command center for Equusearch is at Shadow Ridge and Lee Vista Boulevard. There is training on Friday night from 6pm to 9pm.

The Anthony family has a new command and volunteer center. The Kid Finders Network Official Search & Volunteer Center is at 1602 S. Goldenrod Road in Orlando. It is open daily 9 a.m.-4p.m.

Baby Photos Of Caylee's Mom Used In Request To Avoid Death Penalty
Woman Charged With Murder In Daughter's Disappearance

POSTED: 11:58 am EST November 5, 2008
UPDATED: 5:50 pm EST November 5, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Attorneys for Casey Anthony, who has been charged with first-degree murder in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee, are urging state prosecutors not to seek the death penalty in the high-profile case, using baby photos of their client to help their cause, Local 6 News reported.

Caylee was last seen in mid-June but was not reported missing until a month later. Her mother remains jailed on murder charges.

Local 6 News obtained the baby photos of Anthony, who is now 22, that will be used by her attorneys in an effort to sway the state from pursuing the death penalty.

The photographs show Anthony as a baby, playing with her brother, Lee, and surrounded by family members.

An experienced defense attorney was recently retained on Anthony's behalf, and he's hoping the photos and his 30-page argument will convince prosecutors.

"In this case, no one knows how death might have happened, if at all," stated the document, which was also obtained by Local 6 News. "If death did occur, the death was almost certainly a tragic accident."

Anthony's defense team also raises the possibility that Caylee may have been poisoned by chloroform, saying, "Death may have occurred while the child was sedated or from an unwitting overdose of a sedative."

Anthony's attorneys are also trying to show prosecutors that their client is an unlikely candidate for the death penalty because of her age and lack of a criminal record. Attorneys said the evidence suggests Anthony was a good, loving mother but also a troubled woman, who may be suffering from depression or other mental conditions, Local 6 News reported.

The defense admits that Anthony "spent money she does not have, wrote bad checks, had multiple unstable relationships and participated in risky behavior."

The request did not mention the baby sitter whom Anthony said she left Caylee with at an apartment complex before never seeing her again. But the argument is not a case strategy, Local 6 News reported, rather only an attempt to get the death penalty option off the table.

Delay In Other Case Sought

Meanwhile, Anthony's attorneys have also asked a judge to delay her case on check-fraud charges.

Anthony was not present at the hearing on Wednesday. Anthony is charged with forging checks belonging to a friend.

Circuit Judge Stan Strickland has not yet ruled on the request.

Casey Anthony lawyer: Take death penalty off the table
Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
November 5, 2008

A Miami lawyer hired by Casey Anthony's defense team gave prosecutors Wednesday a report that outlined why the single mother accused of killing her child should not get the death penalty.

The 30-page packet highlights problems with some of the evidence, defines how details in Anthony's case does not fit the state criteria needed for the death penalty -- a penalty reserved for the worst of the worst homicides.

It touches on Anthony's erratic behavior after her daughter's birth that suggests signs of emotional or mental distress. The report ended with pictures of Anthony during happier times as a child surrounded by her parents and her brother.

"Casey Anthony is a unique individual. A close inspection of her case clearly supports not filing a notice seeking death," attorney Terence Lenamon wrote in a report obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

The State Attorney's Office would not confirm whether it received the report, which is not public record. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie, who was reported missing on July 15. The body of Caylee -- who would have turned 3 in August -- has not been found.

Anthony told investigators that she left Caylee with a baby sitter in mid-June. When she returned later that day, both the baby sitter and Caylee were gone. Detectives have not been able to locate the baby sitter and question whether she exists.

Prosecutors have not decided yet whether the state will pursue the death penalty. If they do seek death, the trial will be divided into two sections: the guilt/innocent phase and the sentence phase.

Lenamon's report addresses the sentence phase when the jury hears both why she should and should not get the death penalty.

Some of the reasons outlined against death include: Lenamon pointed out the analysis techniques used on hair and air samples from her trunk to prove decomposition are "novel, experimental, in the early stages of development, inconclusive and high susceptible to mishandling," he wrote. Even if the evidence is enough for a guilty verdict, it would not be enough to support the death penalty, Lenamon wrote.

Details of the Anthony case to do not rise to the level required for the death penalty, he wrote. She doesn't have a criminal record. There is no history of abuse. The crime was not cold, calculated and premeditated. In the months leading up to Caylee's disappearance, Anthony's behavior was described by friends and family as "erratic and not entirely rational."

He wrote that filicide -- the act of a parent killing a child -- is different than other homicides. The underlying reasons why mothers kill are complex and can be divided into various categories. For example, one type is a parent who kills under influence of mental illness. Another type suggests a parent's motive may be to save the child from real or imagined harm.

Juries are more likely to show mothers mercy. He mentioned Andrea Yates -- a Texas mother who drowned all five children -- was sentenced to life in prison. Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who pushed her car with her two children inside in a lake, got life in prison.

Lenamon wrote that experts will likely agree that Anthony as "suffering from episodes of extreme emotional distress and disturbance since her daughter's birth." Even the lack of emotion after her child's disappearance and arrest "is not normal," he wrote.

Lenamon also refers to other Orange County cases involving the death of a child. For example, Anita Simmons, who beat her 8-year-old daughter to death, got 42 years in prison.

"A careful consideration of the totality of the circumstances in this case leads to a clear conclusion that a filing a notice of the death penalty is no the right thing to do," he wrote.

Casey Death Case Hard To Make At This Time
Aggravating Factors Required To Get Death Sentence

POSTED: 3:57 pm EST November 6, 2008
UPDATED: 10:06 pm EST November 6, 2008

Prosecutors say they don’t know if they have enough evidence to seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony, who is accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, WESH 2 News learned on Thursday.

A spokesman at the Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office told WESH 2 News reporter Bob Kealing on Thursday that prosecutors have not taken the death penalty off the table, because the case is still developing and they hope to find Caylee’s body.

But Randy Means of the state attorney’s office said there are doubts they have enough aggravating factors to get the death penalty at this time.

A defense attorney sent prosecutors a report outlining why the state should not seek a death sentence against Casey Anthony, who faces trial on first-degree murder and other charges.

Meanwhile, the state is asking a judge to approve a gag order, which would limit what prosecutors, investigators, the defense team, and even Casey Anthony’s parents and brother can say publicly. Prosecutors cite comments in the media from Anthony’s family and defense team members that they say could prejudice potential jurors.

The news comes on the same day prosecutors released more than 500 pages of evidence against Casey Anthony. The documents include an investigator’s interview with her father, George, in which he says he confronted Casey Anthony about her daughter’s whereabouts three weeks before she was reported missing. Read more in Casey Anthony blog.

The stack of documents includes some previously released material, such as FBI reports about hair and air samples from Casey Anthony’s car that indicated human decomposition.

Casey Anthony is being held in Orange County Jail without bond. Her trial is scheduled to start in January.

Caylee Anthony has not been seen since June, and prosecutors face trying Anthony without a body.

There are various aggravating factors that are considered in Florida death penalty cases. These, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, include that the murder:

- Was heinous, atrocious, cruel, or depraved.

- Involved substantial planning and premeditation.

- Was committed without pretense of moral or legal justification.

- Was committed by a person with previous felonies, or happened while another felony was being committed.

Padilla arrives to assist in search for Caylee

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Leonard Padilla, the California Bounty hunter who has been in and out of the case surrounding missing toddler Caylee Anthony arrived back in Orlando Thursday night.

Padilla said he will be part of the search teams that will comb areas across Central Florida looking for any trace of the toddler that has been missing since June. At one time Padilla felt the toddler was alive, but when he arrived in Orlando Thursday he said that he now feels that Caylee is dead.

Padilla also said that he would find Caylee by Monday.

“I told Casey Anthony before she threw me out of her house that I would find Caylee with or without her help,” Padilla said, “And I am going to do that.”

Padilla will join others from Equusearch who will hit areas beginning Saturday. Like other volunteers, Padilla said he would undergo the same training the organization requires all volunteers to attend before they search.

Padilla has been in and out of the case since the first time Casey Anthony was released from jail in August after Padilla orchestrated the bond. He then stayed with the family during Casey Anthony’s home confinement. He vowed then before her release that he would find the missing toddler within a week. He left without making the discovery after Casey was arrested on check fraud charges and her first bond was rescinded.

STATE WANTS GAG ORDER, ATTORNEY WANTS TIPS

Prosecutors in the case against Casey filed a motion to "shut up" Jose Baez and the Anthony family (read motion).

The state attorney is asking for a gag order on several key players in the case, saying that attorney Jose Baez has "succumbed to the lure of the national spotlight" and frequently expresses his opinion about the case.

They also accuse the Anthony family of turning every opportunity to talk about Caylee into an attack on the prosecution.

Meanwhile, Baez has filed his own motion, demanding more of the 5,000 tips the sheriff's office collected (read motion). The 450 they've already released were mostly from psychics.

A judge will consider the requests on Monday.

CINDY ANTHONY RELEASES STATEMENT

Cindy Anthony is reacting to defense attorneys' claims that her granddaughter may have died from an accidental overdose.

In a statement released Thursday, she wrote:

"I feel that a good attorney will plan for the worse case scenario and hope for the best. I know that Casey's attorneys know that she is innocent, but they cannot ignore how the media has already spun the facts and convicted her.

"Casey has been severely attacked by the media since she was first arrested, and anyone would be a fool to ignore that. All of the negative spin has done her an injustice. Just look at what it has done for poor Caylee. The media already has given up on looking for this child, when there is simply no credible or concrete evidence to prove that she is dead.

"The defense and the family will never give up on looking for Caylee. We continue to believe she is alive, and so should everyone else who has a conscience. I would ask anyone to ask themselves just how quick would they stop looking for someone that they loved?"

Casey Anthony's attorneys have claimed little Caylee was simply missing. But in a 30-page document to prosecutors, the defense argued if Caylee is dead then it was almost certainly an accident. The change may be a possible attempt to spare their client from the death penalty.

DEFENSE: IF CAYLEE'S DEAD IT WAS ACCIDENT

Publicly, Casey Anthony's defense team has always insisted that Caylee Anthony is alive, even after Casey was arrested and charged with her daughter Caylee's murder.

"We all believe she's alive," attorney Jose Baez said during a hearing at the Orange County Courthouse on Wednesday.

However, Eyewitness News has learned that, behind the scenes, the defense team sent 30 pages of documents to prosecutors. In those documents, Casey's lawyers argued that if Caylee is dead that it was "almost certainly a tragic accident."

The documents also said Caylee could've been poisoned by chloroform or she could have died while she was sedated. They said the cause of death could have been an unwitting overdose of a sedative.

The defense documents went on to describe Casey as troubled and possibly depressed. They said her behavior had been erratic ever since Caylee's birth and particularly in the months before the little girl's disappearance.

Also, the documents state that Casey's lack of emotion after Caylee's disappearance is proof that she is not normal and could possibly be suffering from mental or emotional stress.

The defense used those documents to argue that the death penalty is not an appropriate sentence in Casey's case, because she is young and she's never had a criminal record. However, the documents never mention Casey's story that a babysitter took Caylee and disappeared with her.

Eyewitness News also learned that dissention among the defense team may be behind the release of those documents. The death penalty-qualified attorney, who is helping Jose Baez, said he wanted Casey to be evaluated by a nationally-known psychologist who was involved in the Unabomber and the Elizabeth Smart cases. The attorney thinks Casey is mentally ill, but Eyewitness News learned Baez rejected his suggestion.

The latest development comes after Eyewitness News caught a major slip-up by Casey's defense team on national TV last month, when a spokesperson for her attorney admitted Caylee Anthony was dead.

"This is a very serious case involving not just the life of a little girl, but the loss of whatever is going to happen with Casey Anthony," said Black.

Jose Baez's spokesperson Todd Black made that statement during a phone interview with CNN.

Last week, Baez replaced Black on his defense team with another spokesperson.

EQUUSEARCH BACK IN ORLANDO

Organizers for the Texas based group EquuSearch were back in Central Florida Thursday preparing for the latest search for Caylee Anthony's remains. EquuSearch expects nearly 5,000 people to show up for Saturday's search effort. A former medical examiner, divers, marines, and pilots, everyone they need for any type of search, will be on hand.

It's expected to be the largest search in national history for a single person. An all out effort to find Caylee's body is set to begin this weekend. The search team tried in October to search for the little girl's remains, but Tropical Storm Fay brought too much water and hindered the search efforts.

"Water has receded and vegetation has died off and we think that's going to greatly improve our ability to search the area," said Texas EquuSearch worker Mandy Albritton.

Albritton told Eyewitness News the search team plans on covering 25-square miles of land around the airport. Records show Casey Anthony used her cell phone in that area when her daughter disappeared.

EquuSearch will use horses, ATVs and 3,000 to 4,000 volunteers. The team will build a command center with toilets, sinks and generators at the intersection of Lee Vista Boulevard and Shadowridge Drive.

Eyewitness News reporter Mark Boyle asked if George and Cindy would be participating in the search and the family released the following statement Thursday afternoon in response: "We will not take part in any search for a dead Caylee. We do searches EVERYDAY for a live Caylee."

BOUNTY HUNTER APPEARS ON NANCY GRACE SHOW

California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told CNN's Nancy Grace that he thinks Anthony's lawyers are creating a defense before EquuSearch resumes their search for Caylee's body on Saturday.

"The notation about if there was a death or if it was accidental doesn't surprise me at all. They know we are going to find the body by Monday and at that time all bets are off. The state prosecutor doesn't have to make a deal," Padilla said.

Padilla plans to be a part of the search team on Saturday.

Large Caylee Search Planned For Saturday

EquuSearch To Focus On 25-Square Mile Area

POSTED: 6:12 am EST November 7, 2008
UPDATED: 11:59 am EST November 7, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's being called the largest search effort ever for a missing child.
About 3,000 people are expected to show up to try to locate 3-year-old Caylee Anthony.

This is the third time Texas-based EquuSearch will look for her.
Their 25-square mile search area will stretch from Maitland south to Flamingo and east to Christmas and is based on mother Casey Anthony's cell tower hits.
Teams will start near Orlando International Airport.
Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla believes he and EquuSearch can find the missing toddler by Monday.
Meanwhile, the state wants to silence all key players because of an overflow of media coverage in the case against mother Casey Anthony.
An assistant prosecutor asked a judge for a gag order against Casey's defense team, sheriff's investigators, prosecutors and even the Anthony family.
This after the state attorney's office said it doesn't have enough evidence to seek the death penalty in Anthony's trial, but prosecutors said if detectives find Caylee's body, the death penalty could be back on the table.

Casey Anthony prosecutors: Gag order needed to limit publicity
Sarah Lundy and Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writers
November 7, 2008

Prosecutors are asking a judge to order those involved in the Casey Anthony case -- attorneys, witnesses, law-enforcement officers and Anthony's family -- to restrict their public comments.

The intent is to protect potential jurors from being influenced by pretrial publicity, Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton wrote in the motion filed Thursday.

The case has received intense media coverage since Anthony's daughter Caylee Marie was reported missing July 15.

During the past four months, leaks have surfaced dealing with evidence of a decomposing body in Anthony's car and traces of chloroform found in the trunk -- news supporting the state's case against Anthony.

Prosecutors filed their motion the day after a defense report surfaced, outlining why Anthony should not get the death penalty if convicted. The state has not decided whether it will seek death.

In the motion, Ashton cited Orlando Sentinel stories and a news release from Anthony's defense team. He writes that Anthony's family has used the "pulpit" of their search for Caylee to comment about evidence and motives in prosecution. The family contends Caylee is alive.

"In twenty-eight years of criminal prosecution . . . the undersigned has never witnessed such a shameless attempt to sway public sentiment," Ashton wrote.

The motion for a gag order came among a flurry of filings. Anthony's attorney Jose Baez filed several requests with the court, including papers asking the judge to compel investigators to turn over tips about Caylee's whereabouts. He also wants crime-scene photos and investigative reports, as well as more information from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which conducted forensic tests on hair and air samples taken from Anthony's car. Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland scheduled a hearing to discuss the matters for 1:30 p.m. Monday.

Mental Health May Determine Fate Of Mom Of Missing Caylee Anthony
Woman Charged With 1st-Degree Murder
POSTED: 9:13 pm EST November 6, 2008
UPDATED: 11:21 am EST November 7, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The mental health of Casey Anthony, who has been charged with first-degree murder in the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, could be the key to determining her fate, according to a Local 6 News report.

Anthony, 22, remains jailed and is scheduled to go to trial in January. Caylee was last seen in mid-June but was not reported missing until a month later.
Anthony has undergone two psychological evaluations, but the reports have been sealed by the judge who ordered the tests after Anthony's arrest in July.
Local 6 News investigative reporter Tony Pipitone interviewed Lake Mary psychiatrist Dr. Ryan Hall, who has not examined Anthony and could not comment to her specifically, but he has studied women who have killed and their motivations for the killings.

"You have to look at the motivation -- why they're doing -- why they think they have to (kill their own child)," Hall said.
Psychiatrists focus on five general reasons, Hall said.
Altruistic, which was explained as the person doing the child a favor.
Psychotic, when the killer is having hallucinations or delusions.
Accidental, which usually result from abuse.
Revenge, getting back at someone, usually a spouse or the child's parent.
Unwanted child.
Hall said that only in extreme cases can the killer be found not criminally responsible for the death.
"You have to have a severe mental illness, and two -- due to the severe mental illness -- you have to not realize what you were doing was wrong," Hall said.
Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who is in a psychiatric hospital after drowning her five children because she said she was battling Satan before calmly reporting the deaths to police, is an example of that type of person, Local 6 News reported.
Pipitone said the prosecution of Anthony thus far seems closer to that of Susan Smith, who let a car containing her two children roll into a lake, where they drowned. Smith blamed carjackers who never existed, and she's serving a life sentence in South Carolina.
"She was interested in an individual, (and) he said he didn't want to be with a single mother. She killed her two kids. There was concealment, it was planned out, she made false statements to police, she was trying to avoid detection (and) she knew what she'd done was wrong," Hall said.
Investigators believe Anthony is concealing the location of her daughter's body.
"No more lies. No more bull coming out of your mouth. We've been very respectful. We're taking our time and talking to you, but we're tired of all the lies. No more lies. What happened to Caylee?" Orange County sheriff's Detective Yuri Melich said in a July interview at Universal, where Anthony had said she worked.
"I don't know," Anthony said.
"You do know," Melich replied.
"I don't know," Anthony repeated.
"What happened to Caylee?" Melich asked.
"I don't know where she is. That's the God's honest truth," Anthony said.
If Anthony were delusional, she would really believe that she worked at Universal and left Caylee with an imaginary baby sitter, Pipitone said. The state claims that Anthony is lying.
Psychiatrists, like Hall, routinely determine whether someone is delusional or simply deceptive.
"You have to look at what the motivation is there. Is it that they don't want to admit they're really unemployed? Do they have to let people think they're greater than they are? So there could be personality factors, (a) need for narcissism, needs to seem greater than they are. Or they could be trying to hide embarrassment or shame," Hall said.
If Anthony has no severe mental illness, there's no way she can avoid prison, if convicted, Local 6 News reported.
"People found insane go to the state mental hospital, but that's reserved for truly psychotic people. Casey just doesn't seem to fit that bill," Pipitone said. "She's not been convicted of anything, but clearly she has issues that could lead to the death penalty being taken off the table or mitigate against a death sentence if she ever were convicted."

"Search of the Century" to begin this weekend
3,000 volunteers from over 30 states will search
Last Edited: Friday, 07 Nov 2008, 8:19 AM EST

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- Texas Equusearch is gearing up for the biggest search in their history this weekend as they look to find missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony – dead or alive.

"This is the largest search we have ever conducted, it is very exciting," Gary Peterson said who is second in command of the Equusearch Group of Texas. He says they are ready to find information that has lead to the disappearance of the missing toddler.

"Everything is going extremely well," Equusearch President Tim Miller said. With 250 Team Leaders in place and more than 3, 000 volunteers from 30 different states, Equusearch officials are confident they will have made major accomplishments.

Among the volunteers is California Bounty Hunter, Leonard Padilla. "I believe we will find Caylee by Monday," Padilla said. He arrived at the Orlando International Airport Thursday evening.

He too will receive special training for this search.

On Friday, Peterson says Equusearch officials will be meeting all day with team leaders and officials from the Orange County Sheriff's Office to get a game plan in place and map out the exact locations of the 130 areas they want to target.

"We get very involved in these cases, and this one is dear to my heart, for all of us and we want closure for everyone involved," Peterson said.

If you are interested in being a volunteer, you may print out and complete the volunteer registration agreement form which will speed up the registration process on the day of the search.

5,000 Possible In Search For Caylee Anthony's Body
Friday, November 7, 2008 – updated: 12:52 pm EST November 7, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's a search that's expected to include an army of thousands. Preparations were being made Friday afternoon in the massive search for the remains of Caylee Anthony.

Members of the group EquuSearch were in the air Friday mapping out a search for the body of Caylee Anthony. Organizers hope as many as 5,000 people will help look for the little girl's remains during the search this weekend.

EquuSearch had two aircraft up in the sky over Central Florida on Friday, photographing search locations to put photos with the maps before thousands of volunteers, lead by 250 team captains, head out first thing Saturday morning.

Volunteers will cover about a 25 square-mile area, mostly locations near the Orlando International Airport where Casey Anthony's cell phone indicates she traveled during the days after investigators believe Caylee was murdered and before Casey was arrested.

If Caylee's body is not found by Tuesday, EquuSearch said it will decide whether to come back again. It said it has searched as many as seven times for one victim and it's successful about a third of the time, having found 300 victims so far.

"The weather's right, the water's down, the vegetation's down. We have the right equipment. With a little bit of luck, we'll be able to find Caylee and bring closure to this community," said EquuSearch founder Tim Miller.

The command post is near the corner of Judge Road and Shadowridge Drive, almost directly north of Orlando International Airport. The search is set to begin at 8:00am Saturday and they are expecting as many as 5,000 people. If you want to be one of them, you can show up Saturday morning at the command post.

Volunteers resume their search today for Caylee Anthony
Sara K. Clarke | Sentinel Staff Writer
12:59 PM EST, November 9, 2008

Volunteers resumed the search for Caylee Marie Anthony on Sunday, with Texas EquuSearch continuing its plea for people to come out and look for the missing girl.

Mandy Albritton, deputy director of the search, said about 750 people had come out to help as of about 12:30 p.m. She was hoping to see a bump in volunteers after area churches ended services.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, was charged last month with killing her daughter, who was reported missing on July 15. The child's body has not been found, but Anthony's lawyer -- along with family members -- contend that the child, who would have turned 3 in August, could still be alive.

Texas EquuSearch resumed its hunt for Caylee early Saturday, but only animal bones were found by nightfall, officials with the group said.

The group has made its command center in an open field at the corner of Judge Road and Lee Vista Boulevard. In addition to volunteers, the group is asking for donations of food and water for the searchers.

Caylee Anthony Search is Over

The search for Casey Anthony's missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, has been suspended. According to Tim Miller, he has done everything in his power to locate Caylee and there is nothing more he can do.

"I don't think Caylee will ever be found," Miller told Investigation Discovery. "We have done all that we can do. We have thoroughly searched every inch of the targeted areas. Unfortunately, there is only one person who can bring this to an end and she's not talking."

It is unfortunate that the search for Caylee is over; however without any new leads or information there is little more that can be done. Everyone here is sad to be leaving – may hugs and tears have been exchanged – but in the end we all know that they put their best foot forward. Perhaps in the future something new will come of this case. In the mean time, Caylee will remain on our thoughts and in our hearts.

Meanwhile, Texas EquuSearch will be breaking down the command post tomorrow, at which time they will head to North Carolina to conduct joint searches for Kelly Currin Morris, Jennifer Rivkin, Mouy Tang and Jamie Michelle Fraley.

Jamie Michelle Fraley, 22, was last seen on April 8, 2008, at her apartment on Lowell Bethesda Rd in Gastonia, North Carolina. She has not been seen or heard from since.

Kelly Currin Morris, 28, is a mother of two who went missing from her Stem, N.C., home on Sept. 3, 2008.

Mouy Tang, 45, was last seen on Sept. 3, 2008. She was living in an assisted living home for when she reportedly got up and walked away. Mouy is in need of her diabetic medicine, which she is supposed to take four times a day.

Jennifer Rivkin, 43, was last seen on May 4, 2008. Her car was found at The Winners Circle Bar and Grill with her purse, drivers license and make-up bag in it.

I feel terrible that there was no resolution to the Caylee search this weekend. I wish I could have brought you better news today, but that was not to be. This is one of those cases that will continue to haunt me.

*UPDATE* - Tim is now saying the search might continue again in the future. It is unknown if or when that might happen.

Equusearch To Leave Monday Without Sign Of Caylee
Head Of Search Team Doubts Remains Will Ever Be Found

POSTED: 7:34 pm EST November 9, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- After a long weekend of searching for 3-year-old Caylee Anthony, Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch said the decision to leave breaks his heart.

But there are other families of missing people who need their resources.

Meanwhile grandmother Cindy Anthony said they responded to a live sighting of Caylee early Sunday morning.

A dejected Miller said his Texas Equusearch has spent nearly $100,000 on the search for Caylee. This weekend's search drew more than 2,000 volunteers. Now there are four families in North Carolina who need their help.

"Conditions are good, we've covered a lot of ground," Miller said. "Tomorrow we're taking off for North Carolina."

"They just haven't found anything," Cindy Anthony said. "Discouraging for them but encouraging for us."

Overnight, Cindy Anthony said she and her husband, George, drove to Gainesville to follow up on a possible Caylee sighting.

"They saw a little girl with a gentleman shopping in a store, gave us a call and said, 'I think you need to check this out,'" she said.

The Anthonys said they could not tell the child's identity from a store security video, but they hope to find out on Monday.

"It breaks our heart to leave again without finding Caylee," Miller said.

Miller said he doubts Caylee's remains will ever be found, unless Casey Anthony comes out with more information.

"No way in the world will I ever believe Caylee is alive, but I will support the Anthonys in anything they're going to do," Miller said.

Cindy Anthony also commented on what WESH 2 News first reported on Thursday -- that the state is doubtful they have enough aggravating factors to go for the death penalty against Casey Anthony.

The state attorney's office said the death penalty is not off the table. But they said they do doubt they have enough aggravating factors to pursue a death sentence as the case stands now.

A judge is set to have a hearing on a sweeping gag order on Monday.

That gag order includes the Anthonys. Cindy Anthony said their attorney will argue against the gag order, saying it's an unfair restriction on their right to free speech.

Gag Order May Be Issued In Casey Case; Divers To Search For Caylee

Divers Search River For Caylee

Celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who assisted Miller in the weekend search, said he is taking a dive team to Blanchard Park on Monday to search the Little Econ River for Caylee.

Padilla said he received a tip from a friend of Anthony's, leading to the new search. Padilla said the friend showed him a picture of a cross that she had taken at Blanchard Park and it matched some arts and crafts that were in Anthony's room.

"She could have easily gone to the park, taken the body out, ruptured the bag when she pulled the body out of the trunk -- which left fluids in the trunk -- gotten it all over herself, taken it to the edge of the water and dumped it in there," Padilla said.

Padilla said that theory would explain a stain on one of Anthony's shirts that her mother, Cindy Anthony, cleaned before it was turned over to investigators.

Divers were awaiting the OK from Orange County authorities before searching the river, Local 6 News reported.

GPD probes report of Caylee Anthony sighting

By Lise Fisher
Staff Writer

Published: Monday, November 10, 2008 at 2:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 10, 2008 at 2:44 p.m.
Gainesville police are investigating a report that missing Central Florida toddler Caylee Marie Anthony was seen at a local grocery store over the weekend.

The Police Department confirmed Monday that officers were investigating the report that the child was seen at the Winn-Dixie store off South Main Street on Saturday.

"Right now we are treating it as an open investigation," said police spokeswoman Officer Summer Hallett.

The girl's relatives had been contacted about the possible sighting, according to police.

Officers were following up on the report, Hallett said. She did not release any other information on the ongoing investigation.

The 3-year-old Orange County girl has been the subject of an intense search and investigation, which has garnered national attention, since she was last seen in June. Her mother has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, according to the Associated Press.

Tiny Turnout For Group's Likely Last Search For Caylee
Monday, November 10, 2008 – updated: 4:53 pm EST November 10, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- From 5,000 to 40, the big expectations in the search for Caylee Anthony's body ended in a tiny turnout at another search site Monday near the 417. It will likely be the last time the group EquuSearch will look for Caylee.

Only about forty volunteers were on site to get instructions before Monday's search in a wooded area near Econ Trail along the 417. When they lined up, they were told to be precise in their search and yell for their team leaders if they see anything suspicious.

About 2,300 volunteers also looked for Caylee's remains Saturday and Sunday. They believe a body or a shred of evidence are the only things that may give the community closure.

"The longer everyone searches, there's a possibility evidence will be found," volunteer Cindy Smith said.

The area is so dense with brush and trees, it would be almost impossible to spot human remains anywhere.

"We can bring in the entire military and there's still a small chance that she would ever be found," EquuSearch founder Tim Miller said.

Miller said the case has put his group in debt; they've spent $100,000. He will leave for North Carolina on Tuesday morning to focus on other missing persons cases, but said he may leave some of his volunteers behind.

Miller also said he's frustrated with bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who started his own search Monday in an area Miller claims isn't even on sheriff's investigators radar.

"There's no evidence to lead anyone to believe there's a good reason to dive. I would only hope it's not for self promotional reasons and turning this into a circus," Miller said.

Dive Search For Caylee Unfruitful; Anthonys Lash Out At Bounty Hunter
Girl Last Seen In Mid-June

POSTED: 7:50 am EST November 10, 2008
UPDATED: 5:09 pm EST November 10, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A dive search for Caylee Anthony led by Leonard Padilla, who bailed the missing girl's mother, Casey, out of jail months ago, turned up nothing on Monday, and the celebrity bounty hunter said he will hold a memorial service for the girl, a move that angered Caylee's grandparents.

George and Cindy Anthony went to Blanchard Park, where Padilla's divers were searching the Little Econ River for Caylee, and lashed out at him, not for the search but because he said he will conduct a memorial for Caylee.

"No one here is giving a flipping, God's anything about her, except us two right here," said Cindy Anthony while pointing to her husband, George Anthony. "I'm not on TV every night on Nancy Grace with this stuff."

"Do you think it's all about publicity for him?" Local 6 News reporter Mike DeForest asked Cindy Anthony.

"What do you think?" she replied. "I have not a problem with him being out here. I have a problem with him having a memorial service for Caylee (on Tuesday)," Cindy Anthony said. "You'd have a problem with it, too."

"Why do you feel it's your place to host (a memorial service)?" DeForest asked Padilla.

"Nobody else is doing it," he said. "You want to do it?"

Padilla said despite the Anthonys' protest, the service will be held at the park. Padilla said he believes Caylee is dead and that her body is likely somewhere in the river.

"I haven't got a clue what she's thinking or why she even bothered to come out here," Padilla said of Cindy Anthony. "She knows exactly who I am, and what I'm about."

Padilla said he will not lead any more searches for Caylee and only expects to be in Orlando for a few more days.

Padilla said he received a tip from a friend of Casey Anthony, leading to the dive search. Padilla said the friend showed him a picture of a cross that she had taken at Blanchard Park and it matched some arts and crafts that were in Anthony's room.

"She could have easily gone to the park, taken the body out, ruptured the bag when she pulled the body out of the trunk -- which left fluids in the trunk -- gotten it all over herself, taken it to the edge of the water and dumped it in there," Padilla said.

Padilla said that theory would explain a stain on one of Anthony's shirts that Cindy Anthony cleaned before it was turned over to investigators.

Casey Anthony, 22, remains jailed on murder charges.

Divers find no sign of Caylee; Anthony’s confront Padilla

Last Edited: Monday, 10 Nov 2008, 5:25 PM EST
Created: Monday, 10 Nov 2008, 5:25 PM EST

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- A dive team hired by Leonard Padilla, the bounty hunter who helped post Casey Anthony's $500,200 initial bond, searched the waters of the Little Econ River in Blanchard Park Monday convinced they would find a trace of the missing girl. Then in the afternoon George and Cindy Anthony arrived and they were not happy.

In the midst of a dive search that bounty hunter Padilla's crew was doing Cindy and George Anthony came out to confront Leonard Padilla.
The point of contention: a memorial service Padilla has planned for Caylee Tuesday morning.

Cindy Anthony did most of the talking. From a distance our camera caught what Cindy Anthony said. “It’s not 100 percent conclusive. You guys aren't doing any good for Caylee...If you want to put divers in there fine... but you're not holding a memorial service for my granddaughter.

The Anthony's didn't say much after their talk with Padilla except that they're at upset Padilla's planned memorial service. “To me it’s defamatory against us as a family...there is a little girl out there alive,” said George Anthony.

Padilla made it clear their talk didn't change his plans. “Why's she worried about this memorial service tomorrow? Would she rather think of her as not knowing where her granddaughter ended up...she ended up right here....her daughter put her here.”

Padilla decided to search the area after he received some information over the weekend that he contacted the FBI about.

A woman from Texas Equusearch found a cross on a tree in August hanging by the jungle gym at the park.

A Day of Crazy Developments in the Caylee Anthony Case

There have been some crazy developments in the case of Casey Anthony and her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.

As you are aware, Tim Miller, director and founder of Texas EquuSearch, announced yesterday that the search for Caylee was being suspended. Tim said that he felt he had done all he could to find Caylee right now and that he needed to move on to help the family of another missing person.

While all of this was going on yesterday, bounty hunter Leonard Padilla approached Tim and told him that he needed to send divers into the Little Econ River in Blanchard Park. Padilla was convinced that Caylle would be found in the water there, based upon the discovery of a cross necklace that EquuSearch team member Lisa Hoffman had found on a nearby tree during the first search effort. That necklace, according to Padilla, had beads on it that were "identical" to beads that the female bounty hunter (the one who stayed in the house when Casey was out on bond) had seen on jewelry that Casey had allegedly made.

Leonard's theory was that Casey Anthony had transported a deceased Caylee to the park, hung the cross on a tree branch and then threw her in the water.

"I had my people use side-scan sonar to examine that water yesterday and then I went back myself and checked it again," Tim Miller said today in an interview with Investigation Discovery. "I told Leonard that it only takes an hour to scan it and that we had put four or five hours into it just so there would be no question as to whether she was there. I can tell u where every tire is at, I can show you where there is a bucket, where there is an old wheelbarrow and fender from a car. I can show you how deep the water is in every place and what the water temperature is. There is not a body in there."

Despite the fact that Tim had cleared the river, Leonard contacted an amateur news site and made the announcement during a live Internet feed. What followed was a media frenzy, which has left Tim Miller with a sour taste in his mouth.

"We are associated in no way with the actions of Leonard Padilla," Tim told Investigation Discovery. "

Tim also expressed that he was upset with CNN's Nancy Grace, whom he also finds at fault.

"Nancy grace wanted me to come do her show tonight and I said absolutely not," Tim said. "I told her producer that this is the "Leonard Padilla Show" and that I did not want anything to do with it. I said this is not Leonard's fault, this is Nancy Graces fault. She puts the clown on TV every night to entertain the public and as a result that has distracted everyone from everything we have been trying to do out here. It is the Leonard Padilla show now and Nancy Grace gave him the power to do it. Leonard has a fan club out there and it has totally turned this into a circus."

Leonard did end up getting a team of divers in the water today. While that search was going on, George and Cindy Anthony arrived on the scene and argued with Padilla about a vigil he is going to have for Caylee tomorrow morning. Cindy told Padilla that he was not doing anything good for Caylee and then threatened to sue him.

Cindy also made a stop at the command post today, during which time she had a pleasant meeting with Tim Miller.

Meanwhile, nothing at all was found during Padilla's search effort.

In regards to Padilla's future search efforts, Tim Miller had this to say:

"I do not care what he does; I just don’t want anything to do with any of it. This is not about Caylee to them. The Anthony's are being exploited by all of them and it affects our effort. Everyone wants to go over there with Leonard and his drama show BS. It is affecting the concentration of what we are trying to do. "

In related news, despite the fact that Tim Miller and his core Team are leaving for N.C., a group of local EquuSearch members are now going to continue the search. They will keep Tim notified of any developments and will be in regular contact with one of the search coordinators.

I will be leaving her tomorrow morning and will be riding with EquuSearch, in the command center RV, to North Carolina, where I will remain until Friday.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: For a third straight day search crews were scouring parts of Orange County, Florida. They`re looking for possible remains of 3-year-old Caylee Anthony.

TIM MILLER, HEAD OF EQUUSEARCH, RESUMING SEARCH FOR CAYLEE ANTHONY: I know that Caylee`s remains are out there somewhere.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: A dejected Tim Miller says his Texas EquuSearch has spent nearly $100,000 on the search for Caylee.

MILLER: It breaks our hearts to leave again without finding Caylee.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Miller says he doubts Caylee`s remains will ever be found unless Casey Anthony comes out with more information.

DEP. APPLING WELLS, ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF`S OFFICE: Is your daughter in a better place?

CASEY ANTHONY, MOTHER OF MISSING CAYLEE: No, she`s not.

WELLS: Are you worried about her?

ANTHONY: I`m absolutely petrified.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla returned to Florida for the search. Now he is attacking the mother he once defended for causing pain for so many people across the country.

LEONARD PADILLA, BOUNTY HUNTER, HELPING TO SEARCH FOR CAYLEE ANTHONY: If you really want to delve into the mind of Casey you have to dig real deep into some shrink`s ugly book because she is an ugly minded little person.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GRACE: Straight out to Mark Williams with WNDB Newstalk 1150.

Mark, that was quite a search. It`s been going on since Saturday. How many people were searching?

MARK WILLIAMS, NEWS DIRECTOR, WNDB NEWSTALK 1150: Well, initially they had hoped 5,000 people would come out and search. They got about 1500 on Saturday. That dwindled to about.

GRACE: I was told over 2,000 volunteers, bounty hunters and searchers showed up from all across the country.

WILLIAMS: That was over a two-day period of time, Nancy. That.

GRACE: That`s a lot of people, Mark Williams, 2,000 people?

WILLIAMS: It is. It is a lot of people. They had 132 places to look at. They broke it down into a one-mile square grid and they went out there. They found a lot of animal bones but no remains of Casey.

Now, Leonard Padilla has taken up the search for little Caylee Anthony. EquuSearch and Tim Miller is going to the Carolinas because he has other business up there.

GRACE: I understand, Mark Williams, that EquuSearch searchers staying, although Tim Miller is going to the Carolinas. EquuSearch searchers are staying along as well as Padilla and his bunch.

WILLIAMS: Yes. Yes. OK. And Mandy Albritton from EquuSearch is probably in town. I have not talked to her yet. But I have talked to Leonard Padilla and today he sent two divers into the Econ River on the strength of a picture that was taken back in August during a search.

It was a picture of a makeshift cross on a tree. In that picture, Nancy, it showed that there were some arts and crafts that made up that cross, the same type of arts and crafts that were found in Casey Anthony`s room, discovered there by one of Mr. Padilla`s associates.

So that`s why he put them into the Econ River today. It was very murky and they did not come up with anything.

GRACE: To Leonard Padilla, bounty hunter helping to search for Caylee Anthony, first posted that $500,000 bond to set the tot mom free, later came off that bond, tell me about the search this weekend, Leonard.

PADILLA: Well, as Mark stated, that`s what triggered it, when we found the picture Thursday and we followed it up by finding the small bead at the base of that tree where the cross is no longer hanging.

And then we got to thinking past the point of she parked there on the 25th in the morning, turned her phone off. It was off for four hours. And we put the divers in the water. But it`s a foot and a half to two foot of sludge. It`s like a garbage dump out there with all the stuff in the -- in the Econ River and it`s just -- they worked at it for four or five hours but it`s just impossible to find anything in there.

GRACE: To renowned medical examiner and author, Dr. Joshua Perper, joining us tonight. Doctor, thank you for being with us.

DR. JOSHUA PERPER, MEDICAL EXAMINER, AUTHOR OF "WHEN TO CALL THE DOCTOR": Sure.

GRACE: Doctor, if a body had been in that river all these months, what would you expect to find?

PERPER: Well, there might be some soft tissue but it would be very advanced in decomposition which would make it virtually impossible to determine the nature of soft tissue injuries.

If there are bone fractures, that`s different but in my opinion the body probably is not floating now because this kind of very bad smell in the car indicated there was a decomposed body there probably more than two days and she had -- whoever was in the car -- sufficient time to transport it in another state.

GRACE: To Dr. Perper, again, does water, such as in this river, accelerate or slow decomposition of the human body?

PERPER: Well, the decomposition rate is faster on the ground and it`s slower in water and it`s slowest in the ground. So it`s a middle stage of (INAUDIBLE) of decomposition. But, again, there`s already quite a lot of time, so the decomposition even in water would be quite advanced and the body is never found.

GRACE: And Dr. Perper, , over 2,000 searchers are searching for little Caylee this weekend. If she were above the ground, or buried in a shallow grave, what would you expect to find in those circumstances?

PERPER: Well, it depends how deep she is buried. Probably she`s not buried very deep. Again, there would be the decomposition, which would make the examination and evaluation of the wounds very difficult but it would be better than finding her on the surface of the ground or in the water.

GRACE: Natisha Lance is joining us in Orlando. She was at the search all weekend.

Tell me about the search, Natisha.

NATISHA LANCE, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Well, they were able to clear 23 of these 132 areas that Mark Williams was talking about and they were searching that 200-square-mile once again, Nancy. They were searching Moss Park, J. Blanchard Park, wooded areas near the Anthony home as well as wooded areas near the Orlando airport.

Now, today they covered another, smaller area, which was the Econ trail, which is near Highway 417. And once again, like Mark Williams was saying, members of EquuSearch will be going on to North Carolina but they are still planning to come back and continue the search for Caylee.

GRACE: To Kathi Belich with WFTV -- Kathi, this is a very long and exhaustive search. What do you believe is the next step?

KATHI BELICH, REPORTER, WFTV, COVERING STORY: Well, investigators did not join this dive today. They were supporting EquuSearch in its search. But I`m hearing that -- there`s a good chance that her body won`t be found after all of this time.

And as Tim Miller said, he`s hoping for more information from Casey before they know where to go next. If EquuSearch comes back with volunteers they may try to cover the rest of these areas they didn`t get to. But it`s been a long time.

GRACE: To Leonard Padilla, bounty hunter searching for Caylee, what were the conditions of the search? What was it like out there searching this weekend?

PADILLA: Well, the conditions are tough. The volunteers really have to struggle through the brush. It`s just -- it`s just thick. It`s dry, the ground is dry. But I`m telling you, the tickets are very, very thick and the -- the places they chose are just, you know -- it`s just very difficult.

Now the dive that we did today is completely different, because it was just in the water there, 12 foot offshore, which made it a lot easier but the water was very cold and murky.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

GRACE: The search taking up the entire weekend with over 2,000 searchers for little Caylee. The search goes on.

To Leonard Padilla, bounty hunter helping to search for her, you`ve taken a lot of heat for searching for Caylee which I do not understand. You`re doing more than a lot of people are doing.

PADILLA: That`s just me. You know I told people I draw a lot of heat no matter what I do.

GRACE: But why? Heat for what? What did you allegedly do wrong?

PADILLA: Well, according to Cindy her granddaughter`s alive and I`m letting people think that she`s dead by conducting a search for a body rather than a live person.

GRACE: But what about that indictment for murder one? Doesn`t that sway people to believe the little girl has passed away?

PADILLA: She says -- she says the FBI and Orange County don`t know what they`re talking about that her granddaughter is alive. And the kid from -- well, the guy from kid finders or whatever it is has got them convinced to keep this thing going.

GRACE: OK. To Alex Sanchez, Lauren Lake and Susan Moss, very quickly.

Lauren Lake, if they do not find Caylee`s remains ever, what will that mean for the case?

LAKE: Well, that means it helps the defense. It helps the defense if Casey actually did it because it can`t tie together a lot of the circumstantial evidence. But if the body would prove otherwise, that someone else did it, then it hurts the defense.

GRACE: Alex?

SANCHEZ: Yes, I mean, the failure of that massive group to locate that child is a victory for the defense. And it keeps hope alive that that child is possibly out there somewhere and the jury is going to made aware of that.

GRACE: Susan Moss?

MOSS: It doesn`t affect the case, forward march.

GRACE: I want to thank our attorneys, Susan Moss, Lauren Lake, Alex Sanchez, and all our other guests.

Police: Girl at local store not missing Orlando tot

By Lise Fisher
Staff Writer

Published: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 10:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 10:06 a.m.

Gainesville Police determined that a child, who looked similar to Central Florida 3-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony and was seen at a local store over the weekend, is not the missing girl.

Officers tracked down the adults and child seen Saturday at Winn-Dixie off of S. Main Street in Gainesville, said police spokeswoman Officer Summer Hallett.

Investigators verified the identity of the 2½-year-old from Gainesville after speaking with her family and seeing pictures and other records related to the child.

Three-year-old Caylee has been the subject of an intense search and investigation that has garnered national attention, since she was last seen in June.

Her mother has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, according to the Associated Press.

Hallett said Caylee's grandparents were in Gainesville on Sunday to check into the possible sighting and were allowed by the store to view video.

Casey Anthony's Private Investigator Speaks

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2008

The private investigator working with the Anthonys to locate Caylee Marie believes Casey Anthony is a "loving and protective mother."

Over the weekend, Equusearch spearheaded a massive effort in the Orlando, Florida area to locate the remains of missing toddler Caylee Marie Anthony. Over a thousand volunteers combed the terrain for two days -- but found no signs of the child.

There is one man who is not in the least surprised by the outcome.

Dominic Casey, head of D & A Investigations, Inc., the agency working with the Anthony family to find Casey Anthony's missing daughter, spoke exclusively with momlogic. And he vehemently believes the three-year-old is alive.

"You can call me crazy," says Dominic, who has been a private investigator for 20 years. "Everyone is calling me crazy. I get death threats on a daily basis."

With all the evidence mounting against Caylee's mother Casey, it seems like a long shot the little girl will ever come home. From the mysterious "nanny" Casey claimed was watching after Caylee, to her chloroform recipe search, the partying and -- most of all -- Casey's father George's revelation that he noticed the "familiar" stench of death in the trunk of Casey's car.

Whatever George Anthony smelled, Dominic is convinced it was not Caylee Marie. "There is no indication in any of the forensic reports," insists Dominic, "that say that the decomposition was of a human nature. They are all inconclusive."

Dominic Casey says he is still actively searching for clues, just has he has been since days after Caylee's disappearance -- all pro bono. "We offered our services to the Anthonys and since then we have not taken one cent from them. It's not about the money. One's ability to pay should not deny the right to available resources, especially in the case of missing child."

In addition to his ongoing investigation, Dominic speaks with the Anthonys on a daily basis. "George and Cindy are good people living a nightmare." And he stresses at no time have the Anthonys ever doubted the innocence of their daughter. "Absolutely not. Never. They completely support Casey." But, he adds, "I would never give them false hope." Dominic has also spoken many times with Casey, meeting with her in Orange County Jail early as August. "She is absolutely distraught," says Dominic when asked about her demeanor on these visits, "I cannot imagine what that girl is going through."

Ultimately, Dominic is sick of the sensationalism that surrounds this case. "Please, stop the negativity," he pleads. In his opinion, one detail that keeps feeding the media frenzy is law enforcement's release of nearly 1000 tips from psychics to the public -- not legitimate Caylee sightings. "The Sheriff's department claims they are withholding the tips because they are currently investigating them. But that's impossible," Dominic says, adding "There are in excess of 5,000 tips. By withholding the tips of people who say they saw Caylee Marie, it just fuels the public opinion that Caylee Marie is no longer with us. And that is untrue."

For some, Dominic realizes it's difficult to understand how he or, for that matter the Anthonys, can have hope for Caylee Marie's safe return. Dominic puts the question directly to parents. "What if your child disappeared and there was no conclusive evidence that the child was dead, would you give up the search?"

Another search begins today, this one led by Leonard Padilla, the bounty hunter who helped post Casey Anthony's bail. Padilla is heading up a dive team searching a river in the Orlando area. As with the Equusearch effort, Dominic says he would be absolutely devastated if Caylee's remains were found. "I would fall apart. I would not believe the remains were of Caylee Marie. Not for one minute would I believe Casey would do that to her child. I've spent many hours with her and she is a loving and protective mother."

Cindy Anthony: 'Naysayers Won't Get Me Down'

Caylee's Grandparents Stay Hopeful Amid Conflict Between Bounty Hunter, Search Leader

POSTED: 11:17 am EST November 12, 2008
UPDATED: 11:48 am EST November 12, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and the head of the search team for missing toddler Caylee Anthony, Tim Miller, have been at odds.
In the middle of it all, two grandparents continue holding out hope that their granddaughter will be returned home safely.

Since their daughter, Casey Anthony, was arrested and charged with killing Caylee, George and Cindy Anthony have been quiet.
With the protesters that could often be seen in front of the Anthony home gone and searches turning up nothing, Cindy Anthony is still hopeful.
"No one loves that child more than me, my husband, my son and my daughter and we are the only ones who have a right to hold a memorial service for her and if we ever have a need to do that, we will do that and that will be own choosing. I have a right to believe what I believe and I don't think any parent or grandparent, if someone is telling them over here their child is alive and over here that their child is dead, that they wouldn't gravitate this way," Cindy Anthony said regarding a memorial service held by Texas EquuSearch for Caylee.
"I'm prepared for what I have to be prepared for. I'm not going to let naysayers get me down. I didn't let the protesters get me down and that's not going to get this girl down," she said about the possibility of Caylee’s death.
When asked to speak about her daughter, Cindy Anthony did not want to talk about her. Instead, she said she stays focused on any tips that come into her Web site.
Casey Anthony goes on trial on Jan. 5.

Anthony family fires spokesman, says he was secretly profiting from Caylee disappearance
Amy L. Edwards, Sarah Lundy and Walter Pacheco | Sentinel Staff Writers
1:29 PM EST, November 12, 2008

While George and Cindy Anthony were making national TV appearances to talk about their missing granddaughter Caylee Anthony, their California spokesman quietly pocketed $6,500, the family's lawyer tells the Orlando Sentinel.

Larry Garrison, who has denied making money off the Anthonys since he began representing them, was paid by NBC, according to an invoice and e-mail realeased to the newspaper by attorney Mark NeJame.

In an exclusive interview this morning, NeJame said the family is "hurt beyond belief" and feels that Garrison was "pimping" them out. They said they have fired the spokesman.

According to the invoice and e-mail from NBC, Garrison was paid for photos. However, NeJame said Garrison didn't have any pictures. NeJame also said Garrison told NBC not to tell the Anthonys about his arrangements.

"My clients, George and Cindy, were in my opinion, sold out," NeJame said. "They . . . were walked into a snake pit completely unbeknownst to them."

The Anthonys have denied making any money off their granddaughter's disappearance.

NBC and ABC officials have admitted to paying licensing fees for photos, which they say is standard practice, though neither company would say how much or to whom they paid.

"It has to stop and these people need to be exposed," NeJame said.

When confronted with the information and documents, Garrison told the Sentinel that the invoice, showing his film company's fax number, California address, as well as his signature, is a fabrication. "Someone is playing games here," Garrison said.

The Anthonys now know Garrison was "shopping" them around to news agencies, NeJame said. They thought he was just a friend to offer public relations advice.

"It's bad enough with everything else I'm going though," Cindy Anthony said in a telephone interview this morning.
Now she questions whether Garrison was paid for other appearances on Inside Edition and other shows.

"I never agreed to go on any shows for money," she said. "I was told numerous times that nobody was making any money."

NeJame said the Anthonys have fired Garrison. But Garrison said this morning he resigned "due to the erratic behavior of the Anthony family over the last two months."

Miller said he once got in a screaming match with Garrison during a phone conversation in which the California spokesman demanded Miller appear on Good Morning America.

ORLANDO, FL -- Divers searching for a sign of Caylee Anthony found a plastic bag with toys and small bones weighted down by bricks on Thursday, bounty hunter Leonard Padilla said.

Inside the bag were two toys and bones the size of fingers and toes, Padilla said. There also was a shamrock, which Padilla said was a favorite symbol of Casey Anthony.

The FBI has been called.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- For a few hours Thursday afternoon, searchers thought they'd found bones that could have been part of the remains of Caylee Anthony. But detectives quickly determined the evidence found by bounty hunter Leonard Padilla's dive team was nothing but sticks and mud.

The detectives also cast suspicion on the find by asking Padilla to take a lie detector test.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Investigators discounted the significance of a bag that divers found on Thursday while searching for missing toddler Caylee Anthony.

The bag, which divers said contained toys, a shamrock, and small bones, was weighted down by bricks in the Little Econlockhatchee River when it was discovered about 2 p.m. By after Orange County Sheriff’s Office investigators got a look, they said it was of no “evidentiary value” and not related to the case.

But at a briefing, sheriff's spokesman Angelo Nieves said the bag did not contain bones, and nothing that was recovered was retained by investigators.

ANTHONYS REACT TO PADILLA SEARCH RESULTS
Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 1:14 pm EST November 14, 2008

A furious Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness news that Leonard Padilla knew right away that the items pulled from the water weren't related to her granddaughter's case, despite the display he put on for the cameras (watch full interview).

Cindy is adamant that Padilla put on a show for the media because someone in his crew sent her a text message right away to tell her it wasn't Caylee's remains that were found.

"He's said it's been about Caylee, but obviously his true colors are truly shown," Cindy said.

Padilla claims a cross found in the park could've been made with materials seen in Casey's room, but the Anthonys said he knew the sheriff's office had already ruled that out because they learned it was part of a memorial left for Nicole Ganguzza, the jogger murdered this summer.

"Someone's exploiting our family, exploiting our granddaughter, and that's wrong," George Anthony said.

EQUUSEARCH FOUNDER CLAIMS PADILLA TALKED ABOUT PROFIT

EquuSearch founder Tim Miller claims that Leonard Padilla talked about how they both could make money if they found Caylee's body. However, when the two men appeared on CNN's Nancy Grace show Thursday night, Padilla remembered the conversation very differently.

"I begged Tim to send his divers down because we only had one. I asked him on Sunday and I even went back by his headquarters and asked him, 'Please Tim, we can't pass up this opportunity if you've got the divers,'" Padilla told Nancy Grace.

Padilla went on to say the conversation ended with both men agreeing to send divers into the lake, but he said Miller's dive team never showed up last Monday.

Tim Miller, the founder of EquuSearch, a group that organized a massive weekend search for Caylee's remains, was very critical of Padilla.

"What a disgrace to society this man is for doing this kind of stuff," Miller said.

Miller said during the weekend search, Padilla had begged Miller to use his own divers to search the river. Miller recounted the conversation, saying Padilla said to him, "Tim Miller's divers out here, news cameras out here ... think how much money we could make, Tim."

SEARCH RESUMES AS CONTROVERSY SWIRLS
Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 1:14 pm EST November 14, 2008

A new search was underway Friday for the body of Caylee Anthony. Divers were back in the dark, murky, alligator-infested water in Blanchard Park (see map).

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is once again in charge as we waits to find out when he'll have to a take a lie detector test. He caused chaos Thursday when divers brought up a bag of toys and what they thought were bone fragments from the Little Econ River, but were not (images | video).

"There is nothing at the scene that is credible or of a significant find," said Captain Angelo Nieves of the Sheriff's Office on Thursday (watch full statement). "Nothing that was discovered has been retained by the Orange County Sheriff's Office."

It was a much calmer day Friday as the divers spent the morning underwater looking for anything of any significance. By noon, nothing had been found. As for Padilla, he spent the morning taking pictures with spectators and making appearances on national TV.

Friday's search marked Little Econ River search day number three and Padilla's dive team was back at it. The so-called "serious" search area was sectioned off by rope, left over sheriff's tape and a string of post office packaging tape.

"I'm a spectator when these guys are in the water. I don't even know how to swim," Padilla said Friday.

The divers in the water Friday are the same volunteers from the Orlando-based Blackwater Divers who searched Thursday. They claim to be able to find small items in murky conditions.

However, what they dragged out of the water Thursday turned out to be nothing. The sheriff's office wasn't amused, but Padilla isn't stopping his search for Caylee Anthony's remains.

"There's a lot of times you step on people's toes and people think you are interfering," Padilla said.

The FBI is asking Padilla to take a lie detector test.

Spyder Dalton works with Padilla and is a certified diver. He says looking for anything in the alligator-infested river is difficult.

"We had a diver that went in yesterday that had to go to the emergency room because something crawled into his ear and got a really bad infection out of it," Dalton said.

Some people say Padilla is creating a circus show in Blanchard Park, however the bounty hunter insists he's doing it for one reason, to find Caylee.

"If I made the decision to leave right now, it would probably be Sunday or Monday," Padilla said Friday. "Because the tickets are cheaper."

Padilla could pull out and head home as early as Sunday, but the Blackwater Divers said they are committed to the search and could continue with it even if Padilla leaves.

FOCUS TURNS TO PADILLA

After the FBI and sheriff's detectives looked over the find, their attention turned to Padilla.

"Mr. Padilla has been requested to take part in a polygraph that will be conducted by the FBI. We believe it is an important thing to do," Nieves said.

"It's meaningless, I have no problem with a lie detector test," Padilla told Eyewiness News (watch full interview).

Nieves also commented on Padilla's decision to inform media of the discovery before informing deputies.

"Law enforcement should have been the first call regarding this find, not the media," Nieves said.

Eyewitness News also talked with the attorney for Cindy and George Anthony, Mark Nejame, who has been critic of Padilla's role in the search.

"I would speculate that they have some questions about the integrity of the items that were found," Nejame said.

Nejame added that he is not surprised that Padilla has been asked to take a polygraph test. He said that is reason enough to doubt his motives.

Casey's Attorney Inspecting Her Car At Sheriff's Office
Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 1:14 pm EST November 14, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Orange County Sheriff's Office is allowing Casey Anthony's attorney access Friday to her Pontiac Sunfire, the car investigators believe Caylee was inside and dead.

According to Jim Solomons with the sheriff's office, Jose Baez was at the sheriff's office Central Complex late Friday morning to meet with investigators and then examine the vehicle. The vehicle examination is not expected to begin until 3:00pm.

Baez had asked weeks ago to have access to the car for an inspection. He brought his own team of experts to the sheriff's office Friday.

Among the experts Baez is working with is Dr. Henry Lee, a nationally-known and self-proclaimed "legendary" forensic investigator. According to his website, Lee has "solved a murder without a body" and "assisted in the investigations of more than 6,000 cases, including war crimes in Bosnia and Croatia, the suicide of President Clinton's former White House attorney, Vince Foster, review of the JFK assassination, and the death of JonBennet Ramsey."

Baez had wanted to inspect the undercarriage of the car, the carpet that was in trunk and held a stain, the spare tire well, and tire cover, but they were removed to be tested by the FBI and are no longer in the car.

Eyewitness News has also learned that the car still smells of decomposition.

Divers Resume Search For Caylee Anthony
Plastic Bag Found Thursday Won't Help Investigators

POSTED: 6:22 am EST November 14, 2008
UPDATED: 9:29 am EST November 14, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A search for clues in the Caylee Anthony disappearance resumed at Blanchard Park after a major false alarm on Thursday.

Dive teams hired by bounty hunter Leonard Padilla announced they had found a plastic bag that was weighed down in the Little Econlockhatchee River.

The bag was said to have contained children's toys, bone fragments and a shamrock. Casey Anthony, who is Caylee's mother, is known to love shamrocks.

But investigators said the bag only contained rocks and a plastic Gumby doll. Detectives dismissed the findings and publicly scolded Padilla.

Authorities then asked Padilla to stop the search and take a lie-detector test. Padilla said he has nothing to hide.

"When law enforcement asks you to take a polygraph, it's to panic you. Lee and Cindy and George (Anthony) obviously can't take a polygraph because they won't pass it. I've got no problem. I'll pass it," Padilla said.

"We believe our granddaughter is alive and still out there. All this other stuff going on is a distraction. That's all it is," George Anthony said.

Padilla said the dive team would continue to scour the river on Friday at Blanchard Park.

Officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Office said their divers haven't searched the Little Econlockhatchee River, but searchers with EquuSearch did spend time searching the waters by sonar and didn't find anything.

UPDATED: 1:03 pm EST November 14, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- While the search continues for Caylee Anthony, attorneys for the girl's mother are examining the source of the evidence that led to murder charges in the case.

Jose Baez arrived at the Orange County Sheriff's Office with forensic experts on Friday morning to see Casey Anthony's car and conduct their own investigation.

Baez was joined by Dr. Henry Lee, a world-renowned forensics expert to conduct the investigation. Lee was involved in the O.J. Simpson murder case and the disappearance of JonBenet Ramsey.

Lee has been known to find the tiniest of clues and has worked before without the body of a victim.

Baez had filed a motion to gain access to the vehicle to conduct his own tests. The car has been in police custody since July.

Investigators have previously said they believe the car housed the decomposing body of Caylee. They said a stain was found in the trunk of the car, and there was a smell of decomposing flesh.

Further tests also revealed traces of chloroform.

On Thursday, his team of divers discovered what Padilla believed to be evidence in the case that would support his theory – that Caylee’s mother, Casey, placed her daughter’s body in a bag and dumped her into the Little Econ River at J.Blanchard Park.

When FBI and Orange County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived to the scene yesterday, they immediately began to analyze the discovery and soon determined the contents of the bag were animal bone fragments and several toys.

According to Captain Angelo Nieves of the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the findings are being considered property found, not evidence.

Padilla and his team are already back in the river Friday and are continuing what he is calling a recovery mission.

Casey's car made available to Jose Baez

The Orange County Sheriff's Office says the Pontiac Sunfire being held as evidence in the Caylee Anthony investigation will be made available to Jose Baez for inspection.

Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney, arrived at the sheriff's office to meet with investigators. He will be allowed to examine the car on the east side of the business at 3 p.m.

Divers return to river
2:43 p.m.
Divers working with California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla returned to the Little Econlockhatchee River to continue their search for the remains of Caylee Marie Anthony.

It was calm today in the river and nearby Jay Blanchard Park, a contrast to Thursday's flurry sparked by a false alarm.

The frenzy ended after investigators determined divers had found nothing of significance, including no bones.

On Friday, six volunteer divers from a security service took turns searching the same area Padilla's divers have scoured twice before, with plans on moving slowly downriver for the rest of the afternoon, said California bounty hunter Lorian "Spyder" Dalton.

About a dozen of Padilla's local supporters looked on from picnic tables and folding chairs on the river's bank. Charlotte Brass, 64, of Orlando, donated what she had -- paper plates, paper towels and $5 -- to the search team for lunch.

"They've donated so much time and I feel that little bit made us contribute to helping," Brass said. Padilla said he had planned to leave after the shuttle launch tonight, but the security service contacted him on Wednesday he decided to continue to search the Little Econlockhatchee River indefinitely.

"I never buy a return ticket when I go anywhere," he said.

Famed forensic expert inspecting evidence
12:59 p.m.

High-profile forensic expert Henry Lee is inspecting evidence from Casey Anthony's car right now. Lee, an expert for the defense, is in a forensic lab inside the garage near Anthony's car. He is inspecting carpet from the trunk and the tire cover, said Capt. Angelo Nieves, who said the horrible smell from the trunk is still present, Nieves said.

Jose Baez, Anthony's attorney, is standing nearby during the examination but is not participating.

The car will be moved into another garage bay by an Orange County Sheriff's crime scene technician.

Check back for updates.

Famed forensic expert accompanies defense team
11:45 a.m. Henry Lee, the forensic expert who gained fame during the 1994 case against O.J. Simpson, is at the Orange County Sheriff's Office with Casey Anthony's defense attorney, Jose Baez.

It is unclear what his role will be in the Anthony case.

Casey Anthony's defense team will be examining her car, which investigators said once held a decomposing body, for the first time this morning.

Attorney Jose Baez and a forensic expert are expected to arrive at the Orange County Sheriff's Office shortly.

Deputies believe Anthony's Pontiac Sunfire once held a decomposing body. Investigators found a suspicious stain in the trunk and a smell associated with rotting flesh. Tests also showed traces of chloroform.

Baez was given permission to examine the car after Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland granted a motion to allow him to have access to the vehicle and conduct his own tests.

Anthony's car has been stored in a garage at the sheriff's office since July when she was first arrested. Her mother, Cindy Anthony, told deputies the car smelled like there had been a dead body in the car.

Caylee Marie has been missing since June. Investigators think the toddler is no longer alive.

Anthony is facing a slew of charges, including first-degree murder.

Cell Phone 'Dead Zones' May Hinder Investigation In Anthony Case
Woman's Daughter, Caylee, Last Seen In June

POSTED: 8:27 am EST November 14, 2008
UPDATED: 11:33 am EST November 14, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Local 6 News report about Casey Anthony, the woman who has been charged with murdering her missing daughter, Caylee, shows that "dead zones" on her cell phone may hurt the investigation into the case.

Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the disappearance of 3-year-old Caylee, who was last seen on June 16 but was not reported missing until a month later.

Local 6 News investigative reporter Tony Pipitone analyzed hundreds of text messages and phone calls placed and received by Anthony in the two weeks after Caylee disappeared and used a database program to determine how much time passed between each ping.

There were 24 times when three or more hours passed with Anthony's phone remaining silent, Pipitone reported.

"And when you account for sleep and periods where she appeared to stay in the same place, we are left with three gaps -- or dead zones -- that raise some questions," Pipitone said.

The first "dead zone" was June 17 from 5:23 p.m. to 8:23 p.m. Anthony's phone pinged a tower close to her boyfriend's apartment near the University of Central Florida and then twice pinged a tower near Blanchard Park before going silent. The park was searched but nothing was found. In the time it took Anthony's phone to ping another tower -- three hours later -- she could have traveled as far away as Palm Bay or Ormond Beach and returned to Orange County.

June 17 was a day after Caylee was seen alive by her grandfather, George Anthony, who said his daughter and Caylee left his home at about 12:50 p.m. the day before.

Scientific evidence suggests that human remains that decomposed in the trunk of Anthony's car was there for up to 2½ days after death, Pipitone said. That would mean if Caylee died on June 16, investigators may want to focus more on June 18 into June 19, which contained two dead zones on her cell phone, he reported.

On June 18, Anthony's phone went silent at 6:57 p.m. and did not ping another tower until 8:32 a.m. June 19. In both cases, her phone pinged a tower near her boyfriend's apartment. Her whereabouts during that time is not known.

On June 19, Anthony's phone pinged near her boyfriend's apartment at 4:54 p.m., then her movements head south and east, according to cell phone pings, Pipitone said. "Heading east and hitting (a) cell tower on Lake Underhill Road ... but from here, her cell phone goes dead for three hours and 17 minutes. Where could she have gone in that time?" Pipitone said.

The last ping from the Lake Underhill tower was at 5:45 p.m., and the phone then went silent until a ping near her boyfriend's apartment. She then called her parents' home at 9:13 p.m., and there's no indication where Anthony was during the time frame.

"If this is the time Casey may have disposed of the body in her car trunk, there's no indication where Caylee may be either," Pipitone said.

Casey's Attorney Files Counter-Claims Against Zenaida Gonzalez
Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 5:00 pm EST November 14, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's proof that anybody can sue anybody, even Casey Anthony. Eyewitness News uncovered a lawsuit filed by Casey Anthony against a woman she's never met.

The woman's name is Zenaida Gonzalez. She got caught up in the whole saga simply because she has the same name as the so-called babysitter who Casey claimed took her daughter Caylee.

Casey Anthony's attorneys have filed a counter-claim (read document- link below) seeking money from Zenaida Gonzalez, calling Zenaida's lawsuit an attempt to cash in on a high profile case.

Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzales is the name of the mystery baby sitter Casey Anthony says took her daughter Caylee. In September, Eyewitness News broke the story that a Zenaida Fernandez- Gonzalez from Osceola County and her high-profile attorney, John Morgan, were suing Casey Anthony for defamation and infliction of emotional distress.

"Zenaida's world has been turned upside down. She is in hiding. The mention of her name is red-flagged everywhere," Morgan said.

Eyewitness News found out Friday that Casey Anthony's lawyer has filed a counter claim calling Zenaida's "a frivolous lawsuit which was filed for no other reason but to harass and embarrass" Casey Anthony.

It also calls it an "attempt to cash in on a high-profile media case" and contends John Morgan's firm did it to "generate publicity for their law firm."

The counter complaint goes on to claim Casey Anthony made truthful statements to investigators about a separate Zenaida Gonzalez and the woman suing her is not the mystery babysitter.

Now, Casey Anthony is seeking damages in excess of $15,000 and to recoup court fees and attorney fees.

Padilla: Casey Told Him Caylee Was Handed Off At Park
Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 6:04 pm EST November 14, 2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Leonard Padilla had his paid scuba divers back in the water searching for Caylee Anthony's body Friday. A day earlier, Padilla's team set off a huge false alarm when they claimed they found bones in the Little Econ River (see map). It was so bad, the Orange County Sheriff's Office still wants Padilla to take a lie detector test.

Eyewitness News spoke at length with Padilla on Friday (watch full interview) and said, despite Thursday's drama and the fact that they found nothing Friday, he is more convinced than ever that Casey dumped Caylee's body in the river at Blanchard Park.

As gators circled below and vultures soared above, volunteering Blackwater Divers spent another day in water bounty hunter Leonard Padilla insists is Caylee's current resting place

"The day after we got [Casey] out, she sits down and she's talking to me and says, 'I went to Blanchard Park and Zenaida and her sister Samantha were there and they took the baby away from me,'" Padilla told Eyewitness News on Friday. "In the reports, she mentions Blanchard Park eight times."

Plenty of the curious were camping out at Blanchard Park, which has turned into the new Hopespring Drive, where the Anthony family lives.

A hodgepodge of postal packing tape, leftover crime scene tape and ski rope marked the makeshift staging area Friday where Thursday divers handed detectives a dud of a lead. Now they want Padilla to take a polygraph.

"What do they want to ask you? Did you set up some evidence in the middle of the water so you could go out there and have all the cameras in America focused on you? Do you think they think you did that?" WFTV reporter Steve Barrett asked Padilla.

"That's what I think, yeah," he replied.

FBI agent are supposed to contact Padilla to schedule the test and Friday wondered out loud about why others in the case declined lie detectors.

"It would have been great if Casey, Lee, Cindy and George would have taken a lie detector test," he said (watch full interview).

Also Friday, Padilla dropped a whole new theory involving the Anthony family pool. He believes, after Caylee die from a chloroform overdose, Casey put her body in the swimming pool to test the buoyancy of her body and then used the neighbors shovel to fish Caylee out of the pool before putting her inside a garbage bag.

Late Friday afternoon, Eyewitness News learned Padilla has been kicked out of Blanchard Park. Park officials banned him from returning to search this weekend.

The title of this article is wrong - it should read Casey Anthony is countersuing - Cindy Anthony is writing a book....

WFTV reports Cindy Anthony is countersuing woman, writing book
6:54 p.m.

From Hal Boedeker

Deal reported that Casey Anthony is countersuing Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, the woman who says her life was ruined when Casey wrongly named her as baby sitter to missing toddler Caylee.

The Anthony camp counters that Gonzalez's lawsuit was frivolous and an effort to cash in on the sensational case. The Anthony camp says Casey made truthful statements about another Zenaida Gonzalez and seeks more than $15,000 in damages. The office for Fernandez-Gonazalez's lawyer, John Morgan, told WFTV that it would have a comment Monday.

WFTV's Kathi Belich reported that Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother and Casey's mother, plans to write a book. Cindy Anthony hasn't started. Belich said: "No matter what happens in the end, she is expecting to write a book about the family's ordeal."

Anthony car has yet to move
4:07 p.m. Sheriff's office officials have yet to move Casey Anthony's white Pontiac Sunfire from the forensic lab to an adjacent garage with a car lift.

The defense team wants the car lifted above ground to be able to inspect the undercarriage. Anthony once told friends that the putrid smell emanating form her car was caused by an animal she found plastered to the frame of the vehicle.

It's unclear when the car will be moved.

Check back for updates.
