Caylee Marie Anthony, 2, FL Missing since June 16-just reported by mother #72

[Jerseygirl345]

I have been really disturbed all day by Mallory showing up at the house right when everything was going down....I don't really buy the whole "feeding the dogs" thing....that struck me as very strange....but then again what hasn't been strange about this case?

I found it odd too.  Good thing LE was right there to stop her.

Supposedly the neighbors said she had been coming about that same time daily to feed the dogs.  However, what's to say Mallory didn't get a call or something from the Anthony's today, ( or was alerted by someone else)  and more would be going on then dog feeding.  jmho  It looks like LE got to the house pdq after the report about the child's body being found.  (even before they were 100% sure it was Caylee)

Please dont throw nanners at me, they would prolly knock me out about now..........but I really dont think Mallory would tamper with anything or put herself in jeapordy for the A's at all..I really believe she was just going to do what she had been asked to do and that was take care of the dogs...The neighbors didnt think anything suspitous about her being there, they even came out and talked to LE and told them she was there to take care of the animals,  I believe she has had a problem with all this going on and has kept herself away from the media and she is prolly the reason for Lee's hiding also, so I dont see any reason for her to go out on a limb now!!!!!

ITA, HH. I think Mallory was probably just there to feed the dogs. I am worried about how they will be taken care of now that the house is a crime scene. Is LE going to feed them, or did they send them home with Mallory?

Maybe George and Sin-dy should move in with Baez for awhile..

Im sure they did whatever was best for them...no way they wanted them under foot while they were searching...Im sure they wouldnt want them stepped on or lost or anything and so Im sure they have been taken care of and they prolly did give them to Mallory to take care of...

Thank you islandmonkey for putting my pic up that you made for me.  They found her!  Casey going down!

It is possible the caylee was killed at the GP's house? if she left the house with caylee alive and George as a witness....she had to kill caylee at the driveways put her in a bag a half of block of her house and trow the body leaving the neighboardhood. i do not understand why Casey should go back close to her house just to disposed the body.

[cecilita]

Did Lee show up at the crime scene? where is him?

[cheerio]

Hey late night monkeys, isn't strange that KC drove around with Caylee's body in the trunk decomposing for so long? LP said 2 weeks. Why did she wait so long?

[funkymonkey]

I never saw the guy that found the remains on any coverage tonight.  Did anybody actually see the meter reader at the site today?  Could he have possibly discovered this yesterday and they went out this morning with a team and waited before announcing it...knowing full well that Jose was about to ask for a continuence?

I have always been a suspicious monkey...

[cecilita]

SS ~ Thank you for the continued news information.  It's appreciated.

cecilita  ~  What you are saying is the tape put on Caylee was to make it look like she had been kidnapped?

PJ ~  You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope your surgery goes well.  When you get back, we will try to catch you up on anything you missed.  ((hugs))

You're welcome, Buffy.  A lot of the questions posters were asking are answered in those articles.

Yes

[higherhopes]

Did Lee show up at the crime scene? where is him?

Lee was in court early this morning,   then I do believe he did show up later at the scene, and now we havent heard where he is............Maybe his house is where george and cindy are...or they have all gone to a hotel for the night...

Remains are suspected to be missing toddler's

Reporting from Orlando, Fla. -- A meter reader may have solved a heartbreaking five-month mystery Thursday when he stumbled across a plastic bag containing what investigators suspect are the remains of Caylee Marie Anthony.

The worker walked into a patch of woods less than half a mile from where the missing toddler lived and saw the bag on the ground. When he picked it up, a child's skull rolled out.


The area had been underwater when volunteers and officials searched for signs of the girl, who was reported missing in July.

Within hours, dozens of reporters, police and onlookers had gathered in the rain. One man set up a flower-covered cross. Another openly sobbed. A nearby elementary school released students through a back exit, steering them away from the frantic scene.

Nothing immediately indicated that the remains were Caylee's. But Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said his investigators and the FBI would work around the clock to identify the child.


"Now the investigation continues," Beary said. "There is a lot of lab work to do. There is a lot of DNA work to do. There is a lot of crime scene work to do."

On Thursday night, authorities returned to the home where Caylee and her mother lived to look for more clues.

Caylee was 2 when she was reported missing July 15. Her third birthday would have been Aug. 9.

Her mother, Casey Anthony, 22, has maintained that she left Caylee with a baby-sitter in June. But she didn't report the child missing until after her own mother called police to say that she hadn't seen her grandchild in a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

Police immediately interviewed Casey Anthony and said later that everything she told them about her daughter's whereabouts was false. The baby-sitter was nonexistent, and the apartment where Anthony said she had last seen Caylee had been empty for months. Anthony also lied about where she worked.

Anthony was indicted in October on first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, four counts of providing false information to law enforcement and a slew of check-fraud charges. She is being held without bail at the Orange County Jail.

On Thursday, she was told about the discovery and placed under psychological observation -- not suicide watch. Her attorney, Jose Baez, visited her but did not return calls seeking comment.

For months, Anthony, Baez and her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, have said that Caylee is alive.

George and Cindy Anthony were flying from California, where they appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Wednesday, as Thursday's events unfolded. After they landed at Orlando International Airport, police rushed them off the plane and away from the media. Orlando attorney Brad Conway, who said he represented George and Cindy Anthony, told reporters his clients were "obviously shocked."
"It's the worst possible news they could get," Conway said, referring to the body found near their home.

Hours after the remains were discovered, Baez filed an emergency motion in court, requesting the defense be present for all forensic testing.

A hearing is set for today. Deborah Smith, an independent search volunteer, said she believed the remains belonged to Caylee.

"I'm glad she was found before Christmas so they can give her a proper burial," Smith said.

The Orlando Sentinel and the Associated Press contributed to this report

It is very possible that they will not open their mouth. Maybe they are studing what to say to the media

I have always been a suspicious monkey...

uhhh  no we didnt, but LE questioned himfor a long time today and his employer said that was the area he was working from this morning............I doubt anybody would find a body and then wait for the next day to say anything...

[SS]

I wonder if the meter reader will get the reward?

[higherhopes]

I wonder if the meter reader will get the reward?

I doubt it...I think the reward was for someone to give information, not to stumble across the body and get it.....I dont know but if he does I hope he donats a portion of it to help other missing children!!!!!

[funkymonkey]

Oh no I didn't mean the meater reader guy waited...sorry!  I meant the cops may have waited b4 announcing it until after they confirmed that Jose was granted the continuence...thus giving the prosecution as much time as they need.  If Jose had known this b4 court...he would not have waive her right to a speedy trial...

Clear as mud? 

[SS]

funkeymonkey - there's an article two or three pages back about the meter reader with a statement from the water company.  I think he was just a guy who had to empty his bladder and fortunately he found Caylee.

[cecilita]

I wonder if the meter reader will get the reward?

I hope he will get the reward. He could get scared and threw the bones and do not say anything just to keep himself out of trouble

NeJame also said that part of the reason he resigned as the Anthony's lawyer was because they were in denial about their daughter's involvement in Caylee's disappearance and that he could not endorse them saying Casey is innocent. "I resigned a few weeks ago because I could not support, in any way, shape or form, Casey."

"I've been expecting this day for a while and although it is a very, very sad day, I think in many ways we can now really pass on our full blessings to this child and allow her to go in the peace that she deserves and allowing her mother to be prosecuted as she deserves," NeJame said.
