DNA Confirms Bones Belong To Caylee Anthony

 

6 months and 4 days after she was seen on a father’s day video, the remains of Caylee Marie Anthony have been identified. Cause of death is homicide by undetermined means. Casey Anthony is currently incarcerated and is awaiting a March trial for the murder of Caylee.

Dr. Jan C. Garavaglia, the medical examiner, said at a news conference that the identification was made through a DNA match at the FBI lab in Virginia. The match was between a bone found at the east Orange County site and a sample from Caylee, she said.

Garavaglia said the death was by homicide, but she is not able yet to say how the child was killed. She also said the bones did not show any trauma caused before death and said toxicology reports might not provide a full answer as to cause.

Caylee Anthony - Casey Anthony Pleads Not Guilty, TES coming back Nov. 8th

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey entered a written plea of not guilty Friday to her first-degree murder charges for the death of her daughter Caylee. That means Casey will not have to show up for her arraignment hearing.

The weather's dried up a bit, so EquuSearch is coming back to search again starting on Saturday, November 8. They are hoping for more success this time, even though they're sure now that Caylee's been murdered.

Caylee Anthony - Equusearch may pull out of Caylee search

Finally some news about the search for Caylee Anthony, and it may not be good news. It seems Tim Miller and TES are thinking seriously about pulling out of searching for Caylee. This article which apparently is based on an interview with FOX35 gives the reasons and the details far better than I can articulate tonight. *It looks like from the TES web site they may be on the way to NC to look for Kelly Morris and Jamie Fraley. These 2 families are in desperate need of closure. See quote from TES at bottom of this post.

"We gotta think about what's good for Equusearch in these tough economic times, because people who donate money may not donate again if all our money goes to one person when there are more (missing persons) out there," Equusearch founder Tim Miller told FOX 35 reporter Tracy Jacim in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
The fact that Miller says Equusearch has already spent $44,000  on the search for Caylee, only having recouped $5,000 from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and another $7,000 from private donations, and the fact that the Anthonys are not cooperating, is forcing Miller to reconsider continuing the search.

Next week, Texas EquuSearch will be in North Carolina, participating in searches for Kelly Morris, missing since 9/3/08 in Stem, NC and Jamie Fraley, missing since 4/8/08 in Gastonia, NC. Texas EquuSearch has been in contact with both families recently and is anxious to arrive in North Carolina to start their searches. We hope that we will be able to help the families locate their loved ones and bring some peace back into their lives.
Please continue to pray for all the families involved.

Caylee Anthony - Homicide? Manslaughter? and the Grand Jury

In new developments of the missing case of Caylee Anthony, the State of Florida may be taking the evidence and the case to a grand jury as early as next week.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony may soon face homicide charges in connection to the disappearance of her missing 3-year-old daughter Caylee, Local 6 News reported.

The State Attorney's Office is planning on presenting its case to a grand jury next week, according to Local 6 News. The grand jury will then decide if prosecutors have enough evidence to charge Anthony, the report said.

Caylee Anthony - Search For Caylee Plans To Resume

Texas Equusearch plans to be back in Orlando later in the week to resume the search for Caylee.

Jose Baez has filed 8 motions to be heard on Friday. Motion Filings

The motions are:
* Defense wants the state to release all records about its investigation into Zenaida Gonzalez.
* Defense wants Anthony - who is on home confinement - to be able to visit "key points of interest in the case" to help in the search for her daughter. Baez is requesting that her travels not be made public.
* Defense wants the Department of Children and Families - which did its own investigation into the child-neglect issue - to release its records.
* Defense wants to inspect the polygraph exams that have or will be given to anyone related to the case.
* Defense is asking for the flight manifest of Air Tran flight 862 that flew from Orlando to Atlanta on July 2. Someone reported seeing Caylee on the plane. (Investigators later located the child and the toddler was not Caylee.)
* Defense wants to the state to turn over results of forensic testing, including testing on traces of chloroform allegedly found in Anthony's car and any documentation about the air sample testing done at the Body Farm at the University of Tennessee. (Authorities reported the samples showed at some point there was a decomposing body in the trunk.)
* Defense wants to be able to inspect digital forensic evidence, such as computer hard drives, cell phones, SIM cards and media cards.
* Defense wants the state to stop testing and handling forensic evidence until the court rules on how the testing will proceed.

Sunday night vigils now take place a local church instead of at the Anthony's home.

Caylee Anthony - Mom Casey Anthony Officially Called 'Suspect' - Orlando News Story - WESH Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony is the first -- and so far only -- person to be called a suspect in her daughter Caylee’s disappearance, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office told WESH 2 News on Wednesday.

She is the only one who can lead investigators to the truth about what happened to Caylee, who has been missing for 79 days, an agency spokesman said.

Until now, investigators did not call Casey Anthony a suspect, usually calling her a “person of interest.”
