Breaking news... a utility worker found a bag containing the remains of the body of a small child about 3/10 mile from the Casey Anthony home in Orlando.

Yeah.. I feel sick all over. Equusearch tried to search the area a couple times before but were unable to. First time it was under water from the tropical storm that had hit the area. Second time they were unable to gain access because the owner had some construction going on.
They of course cannot say it is for sure Caylee at this point, but initial reports are that the decomposition state suggests that this child could have died around the same time that Caylee went missing.

As a resident of the Orlando area......I'm really hoping it's her. That would put an end to this game that the family is playing.......I just heard that this was an area that was already serached, leading me to belive that someone just placed it there recently perhaps! Poor little girl......but her mom and grandparents are looney!
Caylee Anthony's family has been in theory at least trying to investigate leads which they claim prove that Caylee is in fact still alive but was just abducted. Casey Anthony is sitting in jail on murder charges.
You can see where Casey's parents would want to try to help their daughter. They have already lost their grandaughter. I think those people are just grasping at straws. Perhaps they cannot admit that their daugher killed their grandaughter.
Casey is a nut job. She knows what happened to her child, and was highly likely responsible for her death. Could have been an accident, could have been murder. Either way, she concocted the abduction story, failed to report said "abduction" for over a month, and has since dropped several hints that Caylee is dead.

Rumor (on the news) has it today that there was duct tape found over the mouth of the skull that was found. To me, that kind of eliminates the possibility that this child was accidentally killed. Also strikes me odd that if the family is insisting that Caylee is still alive, that they would request to have representatives present at the forensic testing on these remains. If they really think she is still alive, why would they even consider making such a request?

Odds of the FBI just phoning it in are about slim and none. It's not the state crime lab doing the DNA testing. I notice also that Casey's lawyers have not come out and said this find is purely coincidental and it must be someone else.

Kid Finders, the group helping the grandparents "find" Kaylee have stopped looking for the girl
The Orange County Sheriff's Office has told the defense team that the bones AND hair color match that of Kaylees.
The grand parents have not been able to go home since coming back from LA yesterday. Their house is a crime scene! They've taken three car loads of new evidence since last night. Now that they know what to look for, they can find the evidence.
Anyone wanna come to FL for Casey's frying in a few months?????
They said they wouldn't go for the Death Penalty, but reserved the right to change their mind. Without a body it's tough to get death...now that it seems as though they have the body and other evidence linking Mom to the death...she's as good as toast....
The story is too much for me to handle some days. I cannot for the life of me comprehend her actions at all. Especially since it appears she had help and people willing to raise Caylee for her. At least it appears that way. her family has stuck by her a bit too much! But I am not in their shoes. I do not remember ever hearing about Caylee's dad?
Caylee's dad was apparently not in the picture. Casey had a boyfriend at the time Caylee was born and he wanted to be the father even knowing he wasn't, but she refused. The grandparents seem like they were willing to raise Caylee. It flat out and simple did not have to go down like this.
I cannot fathom the evil that would cause a person to chloroform a 2 year old child, much less wrap duct tape around that childs mouth, somehow murder the child, put the body in a plastic bag or in a trunk of a car, and dispose of the body like a piece of trash... then go get a tattoo saying "beautiful life". I don't know if this woman is crazy, but she is for darn sure disgusting and evil. Add her to my "5 minutes alone" list.

Her parents must be devestated...they lost their grand daughter and their daughter.
You know, I have been thinking long and hard on the subject of her parents. I'm really trying hard to not be judgemental of them, but I'm having a harder and harder time the more I think about it. What I keep coming back to in my mind is this: If one of my grandkids came up missing and my kid didn't have a reasonable and verifiable explanation for how it happened, me and my kid would have a major problem. I would not let that go until I had the real deal answer, and it would not take months on end to get it. If they have been just trying to cover their daughter's misdeeds, then they need to be looked at as accessories after the fact. If they didn't know she was lying to them, then they are some very failed parents and should truly be ashamed. I would rather die than have to live with myself having failed my child and grandchild so miserably.
As a mother, I will love, care for, protect, and defend my children to my dying breath. Part of that is knowing my children well enough to know when they are wrong and/or lying, and teaching them accountability and responsibility for their actions. I have walked that talk with my boys even when it was very painful and frightening for all of us. Perhaps I am lucky in that it only takes that straight faced, steely eyed, "mom stare" to get even the worst truths out of my kids. I do it long enough and they will even confess to the bad stuff they just thought about doing... I know because I have tested the theory.
I do feel bad for that whole family. It is a terrible loss, one that I cannot imagine, nor would I even want to try to imagine.

I have to agree with you, Mema, about her parents. I don't believe they couldn't have known their daughter murdered their granddaughter. Like you said, as a parent you know when your child is lying to you, unless you are a very inattentive parent. I would imagine it would have to be very, very difficult to accept that your child is capable of committing murder, and even harder to turn your child in to the authorities.....but still, I believe they knew what happened......they may not have wanted to face it; what parent would?; but they knew. It's a heart-breaking story all the way around.
