Could it be Caylee?

Posted: 05:34 PM ET

ORLANDO, Florida–Minutes after attorneys in Casey Anthony’s murder case left Judge Stan Strickland’s courtroom today following a brief hearing, the sheriff’s office received a report that the skeletal remains of a toddler were found less than half a mile from George and Cindy Anthony's Orlando home.

Casey and Caylee Anthony

A meter reader who walked about 20 feet into a wooded area to relieve himself found the black garbage bag. When he moved it, a small skull fell out. There was duct tape over the mouth of the skull.

Though the area had been previously searched, the particular spot where the bag and skeletal remains were found was flooded at the time.

While the remains have not been identified as those of Caylee Anthony, today’s developments apparently led the sheriff to seek a search warrant of the Anthonys' home. To obtain a search warrant, authorities need to establish probable cause to believe evidence of a crime may be found in the premises to be searched.

There was no search warrant yesterday, there is one today. The difference in circumstances is the discovery of the remains. Authorities on the scene have been instructed not to disclose details of today’s discovery but it’s reasonable to conclude that the sheriff’s office believes the remains to be those of Caylee.

Caylee was only two and a half years old at the time she was last seen on June 16, 2008 by her grandfather, George Anthony. Investigators have not found anyone who saw Caylee after that date. On July 15, Casey Anthony, currently under indictment for first-degree murder of her daughter, admitted to her parents that she had not seen Caylee in 31 days. She further admitted that she had not reported her daughter missing; rather, she conducted her own investigation.

In what is, thus far, an entirely circumstantial case, Anthony’s behavior in that 31-day period has been, and will continue to be, scrutinized for just what her investigation entailed. The case against her will be built on Anthony’s behavior including the mountain of provable lies she told police, family and friends, and evidence of odors consistent with human decomposition emanating from her abandoned car. Caylee has not been ruled out as the source of a hair found in the trunk with evidence of decomposition at the root end.

A week ago, the State Attorney announced that he would not seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony. That decision can be revisited if this newly-discovered evidence warrants the death penalty.

There is an emergency hearing in the morning as the defense seeks an order to have its own experts present at any testing of the remains, if authorities believe them to be Caylee’s.

does any one besides me think it strange how the man decided to walk back to the woods and all of a sudden find the bag???.... when he was supposted to be working on the sidewalk....

Sharon Strobel   December 11th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Regarding the body found today which may be Caylee Anthony, do we know if the child has ever been to the dentist. Dental records could immediately identify the body.

Now maybe Caylee's mother will tell the truth for once and own up to what she did. Oh but wait I forgot everytime she opens her mouth it is just another lie. I dont think casey knows how to tell the truth. And what about her parents? If they are protecting her they need to be charged with the same crime.

T Cox   December 11th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Just a possibility. Maybe Caylee had an accident at the grandparents home while in their care. They are protecting one another out of fear of what charges could be brought against them or what cruelity society could put upon them. They panicked and this is the result. Fear can cause us to do the unthinkable and unexcuseable.

Stacy Smith   December 11th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

God Bless little Caylee. I hope this is her, and I hope that we can put this little one to rest at last. Her mother should rot in a bag in the woods.

Rosa   December 11th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

It was just a matter of time. What's done in the dark, will definetly come to light!

Valerie Prather   December 11th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Search the house! Do it before the Damnthony's get home from vacation- THEY'RE COMING!!!!

Teresa   December 11th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

May this all come to a end and Caylee can be laid to rest. My heart a prayers go out to the Anthony family and may Casey roit is HELL!!!! RIP Caylee we love you and will never forget you baby girl. My daughter the same age still wanted to have Caylee come ride her horse. We love you Caylee

Roni   December 11th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

I prayed that Caylee would be found alive. If this is her, may she now rest in peace.

Carol   December 11th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

I'm wondering why she was found naked and how long do clothes take to decay. Also, do you think the defense will use the fact that she was found naked to say that someone kidnapped her, maybe raped her, etc??

ams   December 11th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

ABSOLUTELY NO doubt in my mind these remains are Caylee. I watched Larry King interview with George and Cindy last night and even then there was a VERY VERY small part of me that thought ok what if the traces of chloroform, TWO dogs sniffing for a cadaver, human hair , other DNA, car SMELL ..what if these could be explained away and Caylee is alive? Of course you want to have hope but it quickly went away. YOU always want to believe in that chance.. Does anyone remember on Nancy Grace a few nights ago, there was a headline of "a big break would be coming in the case soon."???

Laurie   December 11th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Finally…..this little girl can have a proper burial, and the Anthony family will have no choice but to face the music. Interesting to see what the investigators will find in the home. These people have been lying from day 1 to protect their crazy daughter, and I believe they are more involved then the police are letting on.
If this body is Caylee’s a lot of hearts in North America will be very sad but relieved that she has been found.

Heart Broken   December 11th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I am so disgusted with this story. This is a type of event that I truly can't understand why someone would do something like this to their own child, to another's child or to any person at all. Casey was blessed with the most precious gift that anyone one could have and she took it upon herself to throw that gift away by taking that child's life. She is disgusting. She has been seen laughing, partying and just having what she thought was fun, while the rest of the world mourned her baby girl. She has not shown one bit of remorse for what she has done to her own flesh and blood, all she has done is blame people who do not even exist for her tragic mistake. In this case I am not sure which she deserves more, to live with the thought of her wrong doing, or to suffer the ultimate penalty. I am not one to believe in the death penalty in very many circumstances, but this one has me stumped. I have two of my own precious gifts and rather than hurt them I would die myself for them.

I ask myself all the time; why didn't she just give that beautiful baby to someone who did want her?

Nathan Bernstein   December 11th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Obviously there have been no photos released, but when I hear the word “skull” I think of nothing but bone. If that is the case then what is up with tape being over the mouth? The picture this painted for me was a bone skull with tape over the teeth area. Maybe it is only partially decomposed so there is still a mouth hence the tape? Do editors still review stories before they are printed or posted?

Karyn   December 11th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

I beleive all the rain drops falling in Orange county today are joyful tears of a little baby girl that has just been taken out her frightning darkness of hell. Now maybe she can rest peacefully in Gods bright heavens now. My heart is with that sweet little thing and I'll NEVER understand how a mother can just up and kill her precious baby. NEVER!!!
Now I pray Casey suffers as much as her baby girl did when ending her life, for what????

andrea   December 11th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Casey always says, " I feel she's close to home." If you listen to her conversations with her parents.

Upset Mother Of Two   December 11th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

I feel very sad for Caylee,to have to go through all she must have gone through.My daughter is two and a half and could never think of doing what her mom did to her and I use the word mom very losely. I have felt like she was dead from the begining.There were to many stories not matching up. I have also wondered about the Grandmother, and wondered if she had a helping hand in act being a nurse and all.

GOD BLESS Caylee

marie   December 11th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

I feel sorry for the Grandparents, especially George. You could see in his face, as he watched his wife speak on the Larry King show, how much he wanted her to stop talking. He knows the truth about his daughter and her lies and it's obvious by listening to Cindy where her daughter gets it from. God Rest That Little Girl's Soul ..FINALLY! Mom needs the death penalty or this is going to continue with other parents kiling their children for the sake of their freedom. It's a brutal world we live in.

kathy minick   December 11th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

I HOPE THIS BEAUTIFUL CHILD HAS BEEN FOUND SO SHE CAN BE PUT TO REST AS FOR HER MOTHER I HOPE SHE DOESNT GET THE DEATH PENATLY AND SHE HAS TO SPEND THE REST OF HER LIFE IN JAIL REMEBERING WHAT SHE DID TO HER CHILD

Barb(nana)   December 11th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

When will the judges and lawyers wake up ! Killing a child, a trusting and defense-less child, should get the death sentence..or life in prison. I work around these people all day . If they do not value a childs life who is next.

janet collins   December 11th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I've been following this case from the beginning and would like to say that my deepest sympathies go to the family of little Caylee, excluding Casey of course.

My comment is that Jose Biaz mentioned a while back that if Caylee was proven to be deceased, that it was an accident, maybe a drowning. Even if Casey was wanting to sedate that baby so she could go out, there was no accident.

This baby was murdered on purpose and with premeditation due to the fact that the baby's skull that fell out of the plastic bag had duct tape around the baby's mouth. If there was any kind of accident, there would not be tape around the baby's mouth.

Again my most sincere sympathies to the rest of the family of this baby and I have never had any blame towards the grandparents or any other family. You cannot blame that family for wanting to believe their daughter not to be a cold-blooded murderer of that precious grandbaby and now that they have lost that child, they still can't deal with losing their own daughter. Although I wish Casey could be strung up by a rope in front of the courthouse and hang there until SHE decomposes!!

Please mention the fact that the duct tape proves it to be murder and not an accidental death.

Texas   December 11th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

It is not hard to believe that Casey Anthony is responsible for the death of her daughter. I know that MOST parents would be grief stricken and do everything in their power immediately if their child were missing! I have a daughter and would lose sleep looking for her. Why did Casey wait 30 days before reporting her missing? What parent would do that? This looks so suspicious, so what are we to believe? There are all the pieces in this puzzle that are adding up to her being the killer. The sites on her computer, the smell in her car, the delay in reporting her missing....how much more do we need? Now there is a skull found with duct tape on its mouth. Lets not get taken in by Casey's crocodile tears and see this for what it is. She murdered her daughter and should be tried for it to the greatest extent of the law. God bless Caylee. She is in a safe place now, away from her murderous mother.

tina   December 11th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I was also fearing the worst for little Caylee. I was praying she was not dead like most people out there. Now she can be put to rest. Right beside Her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will still pray for the family of little Caylee. Her mother will be punished in more ways than she will ever realize.

Barbara MacInnis   December 11th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Last night I watched Larry King and it was very evident that the father believes his daughter is guilty – but he is attempting to support his wife who is the mouthpiece of the family......it is difficult for parents to understand why a daughter would do this – - but they looked very uncomfortable during the entire programme and it is sad they chose to support their daughter rather than pressure her for the truth about her daughter – their granddaughter.

Marie Gallishaw   December 11th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

If this is caylee anthony, may she rest in peace & condolences to the anthony family.This is a double edged heartache for them & they should be allowed to grieve in peace.

Becky Taylor   December 11th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Was there any hair on the skull??? It sounds as if it is only bones..if that's the case, could the gas jugs have been used to carry gas to burn the body before trying to shove it in a bag and get rid of it...she probably burned her after death then burried the body too shallow and when it rained and flooded the bag washed up....this cruel and stupid woman doesn't deserve to die she deserves to be tormented...Cindy would have taken Caylee and loved her...now Cindy and George are losing a Granddaughter and Daughter...This should have never happened

Kila   December 11th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

So heartbreaking...if she had been given away, even sold to strangers I would've been ok with that so to speak...at least she would be alive. To kill her, even accidentally, and not give the poor baby the dignity of a funeral is unforgiveable. Wow, to think, I treated my dear cat with more love and honor when she died just befuddles the mind. This girl is clearly not right in the head. I hope that baby's face haunts her every time she closes her eyes...

vicki sylvestri   December 11th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Casey has always known where her daughter is that's why she has never acted like a mother that has lost her child. I would leave no stone unturned to find my child I wouldn't be out partying for a month and then still not report my child missing but have grandmom do it. If it was up to Casey she would still be holding her own investigation in Orlando's Night Clubs.

Lottie   December 11th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

Seeing that casey kept saying she feels that she is close to home to her parents and she feels it in her heart. And when she kept on saying that she needs to be out of jail to help with the search do you think that is why she needed to be out is because casey was a scared someone would go back to the spot she put caylee and she would be able to see it from her house and to make sure she would keep people out of there? Maybe that is why she kept on saying that She knew caylee was right it eye site. And she needed to watch it ? ? ?
And why did'nt tim use the under water stuff he used at the park .They said there was water back in july where they found this body of the little girl???

Diane   December 11th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

Duct tape over the mouth..first degree murder.

Elizabeth Deerr   December 11th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

Are there any alligators in that area where they found the scull that may have devoured the body? That Casey was pretty confident nothing would ever be found.

PHILL BRIDGES   December 11th, 2008 8:09 pm ET

You can see what defence will be now for sure -Child was kidnapped and killed by kidnappers!!!!!!!!!

txkboy   December 11th, 2008 8:20 pm ET

Should it be Caylee Anthony, the authorities are way behind in the investigation. They should have gotten warrants for the grandparents and mother's house from the outset. I have to agree with the grandmother about scenario. I think the mother incidently killed the little girl, but the rub is that the grandparents are helping her cover it up. If it is the little girl's body, she faces life in prison. Once it's starts to unravel, I think some will be surprised whom all was involved.

Anna   December 11th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

I bet you Casey took the garbage from the garbage can emptied it out in the back of her can and put Caylee in it. This explainss the garbage in the back of her car!

Carolyn J Drake   December 11th, 2008 8:32 pm ET

Nancy , I love your program and will get to watch you when I get satillete on. You are great and we wish you and family a Merry Christmas and New Years. Love you Carolyn and Chuck

michelle   December 11th, 2008 8:37 pm ET

i pray for caylee in a way i hope this is her so she can be put to a propper rest and her family can be charged to the full extent of the law for the crime. there are so many people wanting children out there for these mothers to be killing them for no reason is unbelievable

Harold   December 11th, 2008 8:38 pm ET

Hang em High the whole family is Suspect , the mother is off the hook she was on Larry King last night talking that pizza bull again !!!

nadine   December 11th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

i hope that it is caylee maybe shall rest in peace. that way her mom can pay for everything she did ,and lied.

edie grell   December 11th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

i think this guy might be caylee anthony murderer. he goes to florida and is wanted by the fbi! his name is robert oilio montoya . he was wanted by the fbi in evergreen,colo. You should tell this to the florida police dept. or nancy grace show. am from mcfarland, wis. and i was trying to find nancy grace show and i found him on the internet. If this help please call me at 608-838-3139, Hope he's the right one.

Laura   December 11th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

Casey committed the ultimate betrayal she did the same thing her mother did to her.......except it went too far,she choked her own daughter. God bless her little soul Rest in peace Caylee.

Louise   December 11th, 2008 9:05 pm ET

Well this is quite the development! Quite strange that the only time the parents left their home was the last 2 days, and voila, a body is found. I think this is just not by accident that the meter reader found those remains. Secondly, I am suspicous of the father, detective, not looking at Larry King in the eye. He never did during the interview on Wed. night. He did testify at the grand jury and for that, I believe Cindy raised the riot act on him. Cindy is in denial, she is the Sergeant major of the family, and for that I think someone in that family knew exactly what happened. I believe there is more of a coverup than what is reported. Just an opinion mind you. It doesn't make sense that the parents weren't more alarmed of not seeing Caylee or their daughter Casey for a month. That just doens't fly.
In any case, if those are Caylee's remains, this case has a chance of getting a conviction, which I hope will happen. This two and half year old deserves atleast that.

Tammy Vandivier   December 11th, 2008 9:08 pm ET

My heart is just breaking not knowing what this little angel may have gone through before she died,But I now have some peace in my heart that this little angel whether it be that of Caylee Anthony or not can be laid to rest with a memorial service instead of deteriating in the woods as if it were an animal.I have followed this story from day one.I would like to see the expression on the GrandParents and CaseyAnthony's face now. I know as well as anything that Casey killed this baby,and I feel like the GrandParents are covering for her now,maybe out of guilt that they forced her and tryed to push her to make her a Mom when she didn't want to be.

Keith   December 11th, 2008 9:18 pm ET

This has been such a strange and tragic incident. I believe Casey and the Anthony's are all in on it. Nothing surprises me anymore.

James Stigliano   December 11th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

It is unspeakable how anyone could hurt their own child and then to move on with their life as nothing has happened adds to the shock and awe. I would ask that some ho we find out why and get a confession. I believe the moth has known and os as guilty for not helping in the search.

Beth Jordan   December 11th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

I would think if there was hair in that garbage bag that would help to determine the gender on the child.

Marianne Alfano   December 11th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

If this is Caylee, Casey should get the death penalty. Those poor grandparents maybe now they will get a wake up call. What Casey has put them and everyone else through is uncalled for. She should be in with the otheir inmates, they will teach her a lesson

TIFFANY KUHLMAN   December 11th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT HOME AND SHE IS EVERYTHING TO ME. I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE COULD MURDER A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD. HOW MORE INNOCENT COULD ONE HUMANBEING BE AT 2 1/2. WHOEVER DID DO THIS NEEDS TO BE GIVIN THE FULL PUNISHMENT. THAT POOR CHILD WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GROW OLD AND HAVE A FAMILY OF HER OWN. I MEAN THE WORST THING A LITTLE CHILD COULD DO IS CRY, SO WHY WOULD ANYONE DESERVE TO DIE FOR THAT?!

Kim   December 11th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

give me 15 minutes with that lying piece of trash. I guarantee I will get her to confess.

She's lying. She knows it. Her parents know it. And any other human being on the planet with half a brain cell knows it.

She's going down. That beautiful little girl is dead. And she is involved. How can a mother, a real mother, go out and party and do what she did while her kid is missing?

I want just a few minutes alone with her. Seriously.

freia   December 11th, 2008 10:15 pm ET

why has the childs father never been mentioned?surely the tot mom knows who he is.

Georga Grivois   December 11th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

There are no words to convey this tragady..It hurts ones very soul to take in the heiniousness of the whole scenario..the media , the grand parents..Larry King Live? I am afraid for the decline of our collective mind sets..Where is the humanity?

angie fowler   December 11th, 2008 11:00 pm ET

what are they waiting for there is more than enough evidence there for casey to be excuted i think she should be excuted for what she done to caylee

tina collica   December 11th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

Casey Anthony knew where her child was the whole time , she has continued to say she is close and she was right, i think that is baby caylee, and they should lock her mother up in a cell until they kill her like she killed that little baby angel, i think the punishment of death fits the crime, only casey will die and everyone will know, unlike her daughter who had to wait in a bag alone in the woods until a stranger found her, i feel for the grandparents who have suffered the lose of a grandchild and now their own child, my thoughts and prayers are with them.

fasleen   December 11th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

whats wrong with the world mama...
how come it is hard to find love and peace...

ashley   December 11th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

I have felt this entire time that caylee's mother casey had something to do with her disappearence. From a mothers point of view, if my daughter, who happens to be 2 1/2, just vanished...I would be hysterical! My child is everything to me. I know having a child can be stressful, and the terrible twos are the worst...but she would have be a monster to hurt that beautiful little girl. I thought maybe caylee got into something like cleaners or something harmful to the body, and maybe casey freaked and did something stupid instead of calling 911. But if there really was duct tape on the skull they found...then that was murder! Why would someone put duct tape of someones mouth when they are already dead?! So that means that poor child was alive when that tape was put on her mouth. I wouldn't be surprised if casey put tape over her childs mouth trying to keep her quiet and maybe she even put her in her trunk alive with tape over her mouth, so she wouldnt have to hear her cry. With it being june and in Florida...that poor child would have died within an hour or so from the heat. Casey anthony deserves to burn in Hell for eternity.

mark peterman   December 12th, 2008 12:08 am ET

Am I so jaded to beleive that Casey Anthony was partying and doing God knows what else, while Caylee was putrifying in the trunk of her car? What does it say about me to think that she premeditated the murder of her own child only to rebel against her mothers controlling as revenge, in effect saying, " I'll show you, mother." ? Finally, with my track record and adept ability to find the most twisted women to marry, how did i miss Casey? I think once the smoke settles, Casey will be crowned as "Miss Death Row". I only hope that there truly is an after life, so that she may experience eternal horror in hell. Rest in peace little Caylee.

janie   December 12th, 2008 12:27 am ET

Well Casey said pretty early on that Caylee was close, she could feel it. Sounds like a huge clue, here she was only less than a half a mile away. What a sad story and so cruel to allow her parents to hope and search and (sadly) kind of make fools of themselves. here they were defending their daughter and describing her as a good loving mother when Cindy herself had sought counsel about getting custody because of Casey 's poor skills.

jaycee   December 12th, 2008 12:33 am ET

Am pretty sure casey anthony will blame the babysitter for her death, why would anyone kill a child when they can get 225000.00 and turn her in alive, one true thing casey did say, she can feel her daughter was close to home, thats because she knew the child was abandon close to home, and I dont buy she did this alone, she had to have someone with her, they should test the soil of that bag with the soil in the car and the shovel and find as many fingerprints that they can fine in that bag to whos fingerprints are there and check them with tony lazaro and brother and mom and dad too and jesse grund and her friend she stold money from

K mcmath   December 12th, 2008 12:55 am ET

I am a mother of four daughters! I could not, would not support my child if they stated the child was missing and had not called the police! The parents walking around in their t-shirts make me sick!
The mother cares more about her 15 minutes of fame on television than getting her daughter to fess up. or let her suffer her consequenses of the death penalty,.
She is pure evil for murdering that precious baby! I would like them to duct tape her mouth before they kill her on death row!

Tyson   December 12th, 2008 1:26 am ET

This story is so sketchy. You go back and forth on weather she is guilty. Weather this is a set-up and that the family tried to act like she is still alive so the evidence is inconclusive. Could it be accidental and a cover-up from being a immature parent not watching a tot swim in the pool, and she drowned. This is up in the air. Does the skeleton have faul play like broken bones. So many questions not enough answers. Pray for kaylee god bless

Gabbie   December 12th, 2008 2:59 am ET

Who doesn't think that these remains are Caylee's? I hope that this ends it for the little angel. I knew from the start that she wasn't going to be found alive. Too many days had passed since a responsible person had seen her for there to be any real hope. I have to also say that I have been apauled by her grandparents. I have two kids and I would have done anything to aid the police in finding them. Including opening all of the "closets" in my house if it would help them find any one of them. I can't imagine how they kept thinking that Casey was innocent. I've seen too much, glad she is behind bars. I hope Caylee rests in peace now.

brenda   December 12th, 2008 3:14 am ET

give her DEATH,,,,,,,,,,,she did to caylee.....................no one more inportant than children ask ( nancy),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and come on caylee
was THREE ....3yrs old and that mother (Cindy) helped..i think....

Linda Miller   December 12th, 2008 4:15 am ET

On the show last night you'll mentioned that no one would take the child back near the family home, believe you me I think Casey did it but couldn't Cindy and George *in their mind" think that the suppose sightings began to scare the kidnapper and perhaps the person or persons got scared and killed her and put her near the Anthony home so it would appear that Casey did it?

jessie buckelew   December 12th, 2008 4:25 am ET

god is so good he would not let it rest till the baby was found i want to thank everyone who looked for her also the news people god bless you all a mom in texas

Mary Watson   December 12th, 2008 5:02 am ET

Is the area where the remains hve been found, the same area where witnesses saw a woman(Casey) coming out of the woods with a shovel and putting it in a car with a waiting open trunk and a male look out present?

SHLincoln   December 12th, 2008 6:02 am ET

I think the grandmother and the mom (Casey) were in on the cover-up. The mom (Casey) hurt her daughter, and the grandmother acted to keep the police away from her daughter.

Both should be prosecuted.

willard mitchell from kentucky   December 12th, 2008 6:52 am ET

when did the area where they found the remains become flooded.? thank you their is alot more questions that need to be answered.

Laurie J Velardo   December 12th, 2008 7:44 am ET

I would like to know why Casey Anthony will not be charged with the death penalty ? Could the status change if the child remains found are proven to be Caylees ?

Jessica Langley   December 12th, 2008 7:48 am ET

God bless little Caylee Anthony! I hope Casey Anthony Burns in Hell for what she did to that little girl. Who knows what that poor little innocent angel went through before her evil twisted mother ended her life. I prey every day that she get's the death penalty, i wish she could get worse!

paulette leblanc   December 12th, 2008 7:55 am ET

God made sure that little Caylee woud be found before Christmas, what a blessing, poor thing.

May God gave strength to the Anthonys to carry on, to live each day remembering the good times they shared with Caylee.

I feel for all of you!

Amanda C.   December 12th, 2008 8:03 am ET

I hope that if that poor child is in heaven then those are her remains so we know she is at rest. I hope Caylee knows that most mothers love their children dearly and she is in a better place.

G. Becker   December 12th, 2008 8:19 am ET

Casey does not deserve the death penalty. When she is convicted of the murder she should spend the rest of her life in prison with no possibilty of parole doing nothing except watching video of her " little snot nose " daughter playing. Over and over and over. It would be far too humane to end her miserable life.

Lisa   December 12th, 2008 8:33 am ET

I have been watching Nancy Grace since day one on this horrifying story. I want to thank Nancy for keeping this story in the forefront everyday. I have to wonder if charges could be filed on the grandparent (Cindy) for giving the wrong hairbrush to authorities, and changing her story to obstruct justice in this case. I am telling you if this would have been my daughter, and I do have one, I would have obtained what the authorities needed months ago. She would have talked believe it!! Just watching Cindy squirm on Larry King Live to come up with lies, now we know where Casey gets the story telling and pathelogical liar make up don't we now. I am apalled and dismayed at the way this story turned out, but we all knew it was coming. Its overwhelming to imagine what this little girl endured behind closed doors for the few years she was with us. Casey called her snot head.. just so sad this baby this beautiful precious soul had to go through any of it.

peggy   December 12th, 2008 9:06 am ET

I thought a hair was recovered from the trunk of Casey's car, and it had what was described as a "death band". If the skull that was found has hair remaining on it, why can't they compare the two? Also I am sure dental records have already proved if it's Caylee or not.

Jean Barrett   December 12th, 2008 9:31 am ET

I feel that George and Cindy Anthony loved this child, but they have seriosly hindered the investigation, and I feel they have been in serious denial. They both denied , (on Larry King) that they said they smelled a dead body in the car. George was on tape with detectives and said because of his job as a deputy sherriff that you would never forget the smell of decomposition, Cindy changed her statement and said she never said it, but it was on the 911 tape when she called it in. I can't help but to feel that Casey has got this lying from her parents.

Beth   December 12th, 2008 9:35 am ET

It is amazing that only a week after the state announced that they would not be seeking the death penalty, the remains are found within 1/4 mile of the grandparents home.

We may never know but I will always believe that the grandmother helped Casey cover up the murder of this baby.

Now the accident theory seems unlikely since there was duct tape around the mouth............they need to do the same thing to Casey that she did to this poor innocent baby.

RIP Caylee Marie

JeanKoch   December 12th, 2008 9:43 am ET

Casey must be working up a sweat right now, because she probably thought there was no way they would find Caylee's remains after this long. I feel so bad for her parents, and now they have to realize that their daughter is a killer. Her party days are over, and so is her life.

Sherri Grossman   December 12th, 2008 9:45 am ET

If this turns out to be Calee Anthony, which I believe it will, it seems that if the childs mouth was covered with duct tape it wasn't just a case of Casey wanting to have a night out with just a little chloraform. With all of the evidence mounting up on the computer and all of the other evidence I believe they should revisit the death penelty. Calee's death was planned by Casey and it was done in a pleasant way.

Michele   December 12th, 2008 9:52 am ET

My heart goes out for the Grandparents, she was a beautiful little girl, who ever is responisble should be accountable!
Where is the father of Caylee or those grandparents?

john from ky   December 12th, 2008 10:22 am ET

if this is caylee what is the chance that casey well now face deth or can it be done at this pont. if it is caylee then it is olny fair casey gets deth for takeing the life of a sweet little girl like caylee.

britni   December 12th, 2008 11:03 am ET

yesterday was a day casey anthony was dreading, i hope justice serves in this case and they consider bringing the death penalty back on the table. casey anthony is a horrible person and she reaks of guilty.

A grandparent   December 12th, 2008 11:06 am ET

I have seen no mention of Caylee's father. Where is he? Who is he?

Laura   December 12th, 2008 11:15 am ET

It is a very good possibility that the bones do belong to little Caylee. Sadly I hope that they are. The reason is because I, along with so many others, believe that Caylee is dead and has been from the beginning and I'd hate for another family to through a tragedy such as this. The grandparents have been getting such a bad rap. I feel so bad for them and hope this can bring some closure and they can begin to heal. They just want to have faith in their daughter and don't want to believe their grandbaby is dead. Who can fault that? Soon they may know the truth.

Monica   December 12th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Who is paying for Casey Anthony's defense????? As I sit here, watching this morning's proceedings, with the defense presenting their list of experts that will be joining their case, I can't help but wonder, 'why didn't whomever is paying for all of this defense spend it on finding Caylee!'.

Mary   December 12th, 2008 11:55 am ET

I'm hopeful that these remain's are those of little Caylee's...not because I want her to be deceased, but because all evidence points to her being deceased. This has been a long time coming and these remains might not have been found until after a trial for Casey is over. I'm sorry for the loss to the Grandparents and anyone who knew and loved this child. I guess grief, loss and desperation have made Cindy and George want to trust Casey...even with all of her lies and manipulation. She's a very cold hearted, untrustworthy person...she's proven that; at a time when she should've been co-operating with autorities, she lied to them and wasted valueable time and resources, she's a thief and coldly she withheld her child's "disappearance" from everyone, while she went on with her life.
Mother's don't do that, they become frantic the minute the child is a few minutes overdue and they enlist help, from everyone, anyone! I hope Caylee's remain's are put to rest by the holidays. It's a sad ending, but she like everyone...had a beginning and although a short life...she deserves a proper ending. I've grown to care about her a great deal, while having never known her. Bless her little heart.

Dina   December 12th, 2008 11:58 am ET

I think this whole thing is absolutly hurrendius. I can't belive that a mother could hurt her owen child. This is discusting. I hope she gets the death penalty.

J. Carrillo   December 12th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

You know.. In my observations of different videos of little Caylee something is not quite right. Her facal expressions do not match the mood. Not one video shows a geniune happy expression on her face. She shows signs of some type of abuse either emotional or other. Also I keep hearing about items in the trunk like the pizza box. It is possible that the pizza was used to deliver some type of poison to little Caylee?

Melanie Smith   December 12th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

Hi Beth,I watch "In Session" all the time,and I like your view of things.I also was wondering how all these "Top players"(lawyers & forensics top people)would step forward & get on the defense side of this very obvios and extremley tragic case where I think that this casey anthony took the life of that Beautiful little girl because Caylee was in her way of parting and drinking.Is all the money that was put up for the safe return of Caylee now going towards casey's defense attorney & Top people in their respective fields to try to defend this cold' lying ,spoiled Brat-casey?

mich mom   December 12th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

This woman is guilty of killing this baby for a man. Do us all a favor and let her fry.

Kayla   December 12th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

So sad, I have this gut feeling it is the little girl. If not, either way it is such a tragedy. For the grandparents sake I hope this is the beginning of closure. Time will tell.

Debora Ireland   December 12th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Isn't it interesting that the defense team for Casey Anthony had all these media whore "expert" witnesses ready to jump out as soon as Caylee's body was found? To a person, these are self styled experts who have been willing to twist evidence in the direction of the defense, when enough money is laid on the table. How can Henry Lee call himself honest, when he went on TV after viewing Casey's car, and tried to spin the press coverage in a way that did not reflect the truth? You tell me, are the Anthony grandparents being paid for their many media appearances? And, what if this all is even worse than we think right now? There was a big argument the night before Caylee disappeared. Casey seems to have already planned for a broken neck, perhaps the chloroform prevented the child from struggling? Is it possible that the gross examination of the remains shows a clearly broken neck, and the duct tape reportedly on the head and mouth prevented the child from crying out? The defense actions today make me even more suspicious, that they were so ready with such big, yet corruptible names. Maybe the defense and grand parents already know that the truth is worse than we imagine.

Sarah   December 12th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Casey Anthony is a disgusting form of life. I can't bring myself to call her human. What she did to her own daughter is unthinkable. That poor beautiful child had to suffer at the hands of her own mother and I hope they go for the death penalty for that monster. Looking at her makes me sick! JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE!

Bonnie   December 12th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Yes, I believe it is Caylee. What a bittersweet day.

Melanie Smith   December 12th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Hi Beth,Could the defense(Casey Anthony)want to be there in the M.E.'s office to learn as much about case of death,so right of the start they have knowledge that they can pass along to Casey,so she can make another story to fit with what is found(how much examiners know about what happened)If all soft tissue is gone then it may not be so clear as to cause of death,and any story may fly then?

tracey witzel   December 12th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

why did cindy anthony wash the jeans of casey found in the abandon car? was there food, blood or was there swampy water on them? and if casey was living at her boyfriend's house after the dissapearance of caylee then why isn't the police looking at his house for trash bags and duct tape???

M. Bertrand   December 12th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

no she should not be allowed to identify the bady as she was the one that would not tell what happened, she hindered the whole thing. and her family as far as I am conerned has something to do with it.

Kim   December 12th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

The difference in the Anthony case is that charges were brought against before the body was found. Additionally, most charges are brought after a body has been identified and cause and manner have already been determined. In those cases the standard protocol for the ME is fine but when a body is found during the time charges are brought, the court should allow defense to witness autopsy and other testing immediate upon tentative identification. This can only stream line things down stream. What does the state have to hide to fight so assertively about what they are not required to do.

Gloria Horton   December 12th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Does anyone know what the responses were from the Anthony's and Casey when told about finding the remains?

Casey lies everytime she opens her mouth, and she should get the death penalty.

Cat   December 12th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

It's funny to me that they use the only photo of Casey in tears for the cover of this story. This woman has not shed one tear since her daughter went missing. Only when she realized that she was going to be doing time in jail did the tears flow. Absolutely pathetic. If she was any kind of mother, she would have been hysterical that her daughter was missing, not lying to police.

KIMRA LONG   December 12th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO CAYLEE, THE U.S.A.'S LITTLE ANGEL. AS GOD'S CHILDREN WE NEED TO PRAY FOR THIS LITTLE GIRL, AND FOR HER FAMILY. AS A MOM I COULD NEVER EVEN DREAM OF HURTING MY CHILD . HE IS THE GIFT FROM GOD, THAT IS MY MIRACLE BABY. I HOPE THAT PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD IN JOINING ME TO PRAY FOR CAYLEE, AND PRAY THAT SHE IS STILL ALIVE. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT CASEY. SHE IS GROWN AND SHE CAN HANDLE THIS MESS SHE CALLS A LIFE. I HOPE THAT SHE CAN LIVE WITH HERSELF, BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING, HER ANTICS, ARE NOT OVER.

santos vargas   December 12th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

my one question is this.. the father a retired police officer said he smelled that smell you never forget in her trunk he claimed he thought it was pizza gone bad..which we all know pizza does not smell like decomposing body... but my question is this .. if in fact they find his prints on the plastic bags... should he not be charged.. with his background..with illegally disposing of a body... lying to police because he said he dumped it in the garbage.. aiding and abetting... hindering a police investigation .. and if the bag is from inside the house can they even be charged with accesory after the fact?

boganjonie   December 12th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Why have they waited so long to convict her? If it was anyone else of another race they would have charged them, and they would be in prison right now. She was guilty from the beginning. What mother you know would wait a month to report there child missing? A mother who don't care or don't want their child. She wanted to party, party, and party some more. She figured her daughter was in the way so she got rid of her. That is so sad. She was the last person with her daughter, no one else. Why would someone kidnap a child and bring them back to the mother's grandparents home. That really don't make any since. As big as Florida is why would they bring the body back in that area. All that time she knew where her daughter was all that time. Can you spell EVIL.

Treasa Linnemeier   December 12th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

I am a mom and a grandma. From the start I felt Casey was involved but not the grandparents. This new development makes me think a little differently. The remains show up right after Cindy and George head to California. If the remains had been there this entire time why would the gators have not ate the remains? Even if the child was in a shallow grave from what I know of gators they would have still sensed it. Conveniently planned with Cindy and George out-of-town or was it just a timing moment.

John Lennon   December 12th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Mylissa; The city worker that found the body had gone back in the woods to relieve himself. He saw the bag and tried to pick it up with a stick. When doing so, the skull fell out. I don`t understand, do people have that much pride that Casey couldn`t either tell her parents or officials they she couldn`t take care of or deal with Caylee anymore?? Why did she resort to killing her instead? I`ll bet when she was partying, she really was celebrating getting rid of Caylee. How could someone be that sick? I`ve already called our church, and asked for a prayer request for little Caylee and i`m asking everyone to pray for her.

Brenda   December 12th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

I prayed everyday this child would be found – her mom is evil and sick – a sociopath. I hope she gets life in prison (I'm not against the death penalty, only against it for those who I believe should suffer a life of torture in general population) Eye for an eye Casey Anthony, may you endure the torture you inflicted upon your own flesh and blood tenfold!

May you finally rest in peace sweet baby girl, Caylee Anthony

Sarah   December 12th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

God Bless little Caylee. I was hoping that she would be found alive. If it is that little girl, I hope her mom get whats coming to her. That's a beautiful little girl. I think the grandparents had something or knew something about her disappearance. It's such shame.

Liz   December 12th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

This is my opinion..But maybe Lee's girlfriend was asked by the Anthony's to go to the house and let law enforcement in. Afterall, no one was there and maybe thats the only way in without breaking in. After watching this all these months....I see Cindy as a parent that is carrying a lot of guilt. And, that is one thing that Casey was never taught or allowed to feel. I believe Cindy has covered up for Casey all her life...and many things George didnt even know about. Casey was controlling of her parents and was allowed to do as she pleased and it was easier to just let her do it than to confront her and end up fighting, In one of the jail visits with her parents, Cindy is sweet talking her.....and I think she always sweet talks her to keep Casey from going off on her. In one of the phone conversations Casey is very disrepectful to her mom. A part of Cindy is afraid of Casey....and became more so afraid of her after Caylee was born. Because then Casey could use the child against them. I also believe that Cindy thought that she was doing what was right by trying to force Casey to grow up and accept responsibilty for her actions and her child. Thats where the guilt comes in.... A couple days before Caylee went missing Cindy choked Casey for stealing from Cindy's parents. So then Casey became vengeful towards her Mom and used the one thing that she had to control them with. Its easier for Cindy to live in denial than to accept the truth.....because she blames herself for the truth. In reality, Cindy has nothing to blame herself for except the fact that, since this child went missing she hasnt accepted the truth, when she knows her daughter better than anyone. Afterall....someones bought gas and paid for all her clothes and cell bills and etc. I feel sorry for Cindy for the very reason that when she does face the real truth its going to destroy her. This is something that will NEVER go away.

Angel inATL   December 12th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

This story is so heart breaking. I'm a grandmother of a 3 year old he is my only grandchild being I'm only 40 yrs old. It just blows my mind that the Anthony's (grandparents) still think Casey is innocent. There is so much evidence and Casey has told so many lies and the fact that she out partying a night club the day her daughter went missing or possibly even murdered it just blows my mind. I would forced my daughter in some way to tell me where my grandchild was! The 911 call is very strange also...saying the car smelled like a dead body or death?? it just doesn't make sense. I pray that the granmother is not covering up evidence or knows what happend because if she is may God be with her because she is no better than her low life daughter Casey.
To Casey Anthony-was all the partying, doing drugs, drinking, lying, stealing, sleeping with different men etc...worth that little precious angel's life?? Even if you didn't harm Caylee someone did and it's all your fault. The truth will come out. I pray Jesus will watch over Caylee.

Spider   December 12th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Mylissa-

The man was relieving himself.

Jennifer   December 12th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Probably just a matter of days before George and Cindy Anthony start reporting Zanaida Gonzales sightings in the field where the remains were found. I do have sympathy for them, but they did their granddaughter no justice by lying for their psychopath daughter and not fully cooperating with investigators. If they hadn't already suffered such a horrible loss I would like to see them charged with obstruction of justice.

james kentucky   December 12th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

I when i heard about this it made me cry.I do not understand how someone kill a kid. And if they found out the mom killed her that would be even worst. i want tto know how a parent can kill their own kid. .

Char   December 12th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

I have never heard of an accidental death of a child with duct tape over their mouth. Whoever dumped her didn't muster up enough sympathy for the child to remove the tape.
Casey lied about working and her thefts caught up with her. Then she had a terrible fight with her mother and left with the child soon after. To me, the tape spells out that the death involved crying and screaming. This is no accident. I hope they put her to work busting rocks until the end.

Ron-AZ   December 12th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

There's no logic or rationale to this. We're all trying to understand it, but It's impossible to make sense of what's happened buy using our common sense. A mother killing her child is an aberration beyond our ability to comprehend.

PAMY   December 12th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Utilitiy people are trained to observe suspicious things. I dont blame him for having the feeling he had to check what he saw. Someone called out to him. Im sure he was interogated. Casey is a scheming, lying, you know what, and she will never confess what she has done

Cindy- Excelsior Springs MO   December 12th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

I am a mother of a 2 year old son and a grandmother of a three year old girl. This case has really hit home with me. I have terrible feelings towards Caylee's mother. How do you kill such a beautiful child. She needs to be put in prison with women who do not get to see their children for whatever circumstances. So they can beat her everyday for the rest of her living days

tammy   December 12th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

No, I don't think its odd that this person found the body. He supposedly went back there to pee. At any rate although tradgic, I am thankful he found the body. I truly believe Casey committed this crime. She said herself that she feels in her gut that caylee is close to home and now the body is found close to home.

My question is if Zani watched her daughter for two years why aren't there any pictures? Why hasn't a composite sketch of the so called nanny been published? Why didn't the parents ever meet the nanny? Why would someone who has no money need a nanny or have the ability to hire a nanny?

I have a daughter and am a single parent. I know its hard. If my daughter is even missing for a short period of time and I don't know where she is I panic. I would freak if anything happened to her. Casey has showed no emotion with regards to her daughter being gone. She appears relieved to have gotten rid of the "little snot" as she stated herself. Casey makes my stomach turn.

Ana   December 12th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Everyday I have come into work and the first thing I do is look for anything new in the Caylee case. Once I heard they had found a body, I had a gut feeling it is Caylees. I cant imagine what would prompt a mother to intentionally hurt there own child. My son makes me crazy sometimes but I WOULD NEVER hurt him. I freak out when he cries at the doctors after his shots. I will never understand why there cant be a better way to give people like Casey the death penalty. Maybe renacting the murder on them, or something worse. Caylee will always be in our hearts and minds. She was an absolutely Beautiful little girl, if Casey no longer wanted her there are millions of people out there who would have adopted and love this little girl forever. Rest in Peace you Precious Baby Girl.

zee   December 12th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

who cares that this guy had to pee, what I find strange that with all of caseys lies you worry about this guy. if it wasn't for him this case would never be solved with that disfunctional family

Becki   December 12th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

rest in peace baby caylee, casey needs to tell the truth,oh I forgot she does not know what that is. I dont know about everyone else but I feel Casey has been working on her defence this whole time i.e. lying,mythical babysitter,partying,she is not as stupid as people think I think she knows that if she acts the way she has been acting she has a better chance of a diminished capacity or depression , a mentally incopetent young mom that could not cope with bieng a mom,I see a susan smith and andrea yates all over again.

Becca   December 12th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

I also find it very strange the way the remains were found and the day after the grandparents were on Larry King and a few days after Nancy Grace's show said a break would be coming soon in the case. Too many coincidences. There is more to this than we think. If Casey did kill her baby, someone else knows about it and they should also be arrested.

mark   December 12th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

I think its obvious to all whats happened, and how wrenching this whole sick and evil tragedy has occured. But what really sends a chill down my spine, is the enevitable freak show we'll all be subjected to during the upcomming trial and media frenzy. Seeing our justice system abused and warped is nothing new, I dont have to reference other cases, we all know who they are. Asking the defense attorneys to act with a modicum of dignity and repect for the process is completely redundant. They wouldnt be there pro bono if the case didnt garner world wide attention, highlighting their names in print and video. Im afraid the loss of this little treasure cayee, will be lost in the circus to ensue, making Casey and her leagal "Nightmare Team" celebrities. That should be a crime........

lourob   December 12th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

mylissa

The poor guy had to take a leak. His employer doesn't provide porta potties on every other corner.

What I find odd is this, watch all the video of Casey when she is crying. She very carefully wipes away her tears, then she checks her fingers right after.

All women who wear mascara will recognize this action ! Casey is more concerned about her appearance and smudging her mascara than her missing (now confirmed dead) daughter Caylee.

v   December 12th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

its funny how americans are so into the personal lives of others. if she committed a crime the appropriate authorities will handle it. there is so much media attention over this and its so funny how people have no lives...leave the family alone. we need to ahve faith in the justice system. otehr than that you people have no lives

Amanda   December 12th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

In response to the previous suspicious statement about the man who found the bag....The news said the meter reader was going to the woods to "relieve himself."
Aren't there enough conspiracy theories without people incinuating that the utility worker had something to do with this? Come on, we all know who put her there. When the reports of the divers' discoveries surfaced and Casey found out, she supposedly was not affected whatsoever and Baez did not even call for a meeting with her.
Then today, when Casey heard of the news, she supposedly had an anxiety or panic attack and asked for a sedative. Also Mr. Baez did meet with her for about 90 mins after the news surfaced of the remains being discovered. It is completely obvious that Casey must have known the first claim of remains found (by the divers) were not Caylee, and therefore she had no reaction to that whatsoever. If she is nervous and having attacks that just confirms for the prosecution and the investigators, that they are on the right track. Everyone has been praying for Caylee to be discovered. Some higher power made sure that utility guy had to pee at that precise moment at that specific location. And conveniently right after the trial date was postponed by 2 months...this was the best possible outcome for the prosecution, now they have more time to prepare their case. But of course, Casey has more time to make more lies now also... Just wait, she'll slip up. It'll be one of those, "well thats why she had this blah blah," and then the prosecutor says, "we didn't release that info how did you know she had this blah blah." And that will be the end of it...just you wait.

Melanie   December 12th, 2008 10:12 pm ET

I am praying so much that this is little Caylee so she can RIP. I can't believe how disgusting Casey is. I hope she gets life in prison and it is so sad but I think the grandparents know what Casey did and are covering up for her.

teresa hinshaw   December 13th, 2008 12:15 am ET

If the childs death was an accident and if these remains turn out to be Caylees,Someone laid her there and covered her so as no one could find her.
If that person ends up being her mother then let justice be done quickly.
I don't think I can listen to another minute of her lying.
The day the true answer is known about this childs death is the day a murdurer,whoever it is should die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kraizeeangel   December 13th, 2008 12:38 am ET

All I can say is this... pray. Pray for Caylee, pray for family and friends, and yes, even pray for Casey. Common sense has led us all to assume what happened. But, she has not been convicted yet. Even if she were, all people still need prayer, be they a child murderer or not. Pray that the truth is found, pray that this sad nightmare can have a peaceful resolution. Pray that God is with all involved in the investigation and trial. Instead of pointing our fingers in anger, let's fold our hands in prayer.

Robert J   December 13th, 2008 12:54 am ET

Here's my take:

1) Come trial, evidence will prove to be overwhelming, and already is, hence the defense attorney "stars" that come out of the woodwork latching on. The bigger, more difficult, the more glory time for them–with the hours all donated for their own exposure.

2) Spare me the "Oh poor Cindy Anthony" b.s.....She, and George, have allowed themselves to be manipulated and in turn enabled their own daughter by not holding her accountable for anything her entire life. This has obviously not occurred overnight, and if Casey acted like the spoiled brat like she's shown on tape then they should have lowered the boom on her long ago. Don't tell me the signs haven't been there for years.

3) Again with the grandparents, am I the only one who gets sickened listening to the jailhouse tapes of them cooing and whimpering to Casey "..Do you feel in your heart she's ok, honey...what does your gut tell you..." and such? Cindy Anthony has become such a media whore and made herself and her husband look like complete morons for months now. Although I didn't at first, I'm beginning to think that they DO know alot more than they've let on. The level of denial has become so great that it makes me seriously wonder how and why.

4) I knew, along with many others that Casey was lying the minute I heard her open her mouth.....particularly when she used terms like "absolutely" and "actually". That's when I REALLY knew she was lying on the fly. You can just hear and see it in her manner of speech. I can almost hear the wheels spinning as fast as the lies do....it's sickening.

susan   December 13th, 2008 3:29 am ET

i think casey did this all on her own, she wanted to get rid of caylee so she could be self absorbed and be free of any obligations. caylee was hindering her and needed to rid herself of that obligation. cindy and george and including lee knew something was wrong but wanted to believe that she wouldnt of done something that sick as too kill her daughter. stop pretending that is was an accident, stop making excuses for the mother casey, she knew what she was doing and new she wanted to get rid of her daughter. to lie, and lie time after time and show no remorse is terrible, she is a sick person who will pay in the end. please stop making excuses for her, she planned on getting rid of casey for her own selfish reasons, she treated her as an animal to die without noone who loved her. i feel so sick in my stomach to imagine how terrified caylee felt when mommy was taping her mouth shut and breaking her neck and stuffing her baby in the trunk of the car. i hate casey with a passion and hope she dies a slow miserable death like she let her daughter die.

Joel   December 13th, 2008 6:58 am ET

I knew Casey was a liar and guilty from the time I saw hear and when she opened her mouth!! I am sooo very sickened by her ! Casey's parents too, they are just as bad. I truely believe i justice, and a "eye for a eye", they should line all three of them up against a wall and shoot them!!!!!God Bless that beautiful little angel. I pray for justice for Caylee!

Joel   December 13th, 2008 7:21 am ET

Reading some of these comments, how can anyone have ANY sort of excuse for Casey, or her parents???? I could careless what the grandparents don't want to believe!! Give me a break, they've been covering for that scum from the get go! WAKE UP PEOPLE, ther are NO excuses here!!! I just sit a cry trying to figure how anyone, let alone a parent could do this??? I have a small child, and I would DIE for him any day! Why??/ People need to stop trying to help this "lowlife, piece of trash"! Just look at her, smiling, laughing- I probably would have to be put in a Mental Hospital if it was me. Then I see last night on Nancy Grace, people saying" she's young and so attractive"and people are having a hard time believing she could do this!????!! What the heck does being young & attractive have to do with the fact that she is a COLD BLOODED KILLER, & her parents are accessories!!!!???? I pray for justice and I pray that Caylee, that beautiful angel, is resting in piece and see's despite the lack of love from her own family, just look around at all these strangers who have been praying for her, for some justice since June. GodBless you baby, rest in peace.

Lois Campana   December 13th, 2008 8:11 am ET

Please don’t take my sunshine away,” sang that beautiful little girl. THEN someone, most probably her mother, saw to it that Caylee would never play in the sunshine again. BUT Mom got to play hard while that baby was rotting in a plastic bag. I believe Granddad and Grandmom knew in their hearts that Casey did something horrific to their baby granddaughter, despite their assertions that they thought she was alive. Perhaps an obstruction of justice charge should be contemplated. Furthermore, I’m hoping the D.A. will eventually decide to pursue the death penalty.

Les   December 13th, 2008 9:17 am ET

First of all, the worker who found the bag is NOT!!! the killer. I don't find it odd the he wondered away from the sidewalk into the woods to relieve himself, come on people think!!!! There is only one murderer in this case and she is behind bars. The grandparents are covering for her lies why I don't know, what I would like to know if there was duct tape around the poor angels mouth, that to me only means one thing. It was used to silence her screams and crying. He she was going to drug her to death doesn't make sense to me to tape her mouth shut. Thank God for the worker being at the right place at the right time. Rest in peace sweetie.

george   December 13th, 2008 10:09 am ET

I can't believe how many people are feeling sorry for the Grandparents.. They are just as guilty...they have known something from the beginning.. Being the grandparents they should have stopped the lies-so to give their grandchild a proper burial not to let her lie in a bag in the woods-ALONE.

sher   December 13th, 2008 10:13 am ET

I do not find it strange that a man walked into the woods to relieve himself–what I find disgusting is the Sheriff's office bought new equipment, charged overtime hours, and held many press conferences at the taxpayer's expense, and a meter man found what they were looking for. This Sheriff Beary is one of the most corrupt individuals that you will find among many in this part of Florida. He has been investigated many times and plainly is a thief and a liar. CNN should run an expose' on this idiot. This has been a fiasco from the beginning, and Casey Anthony was counting on their stupidity, and it almost worked. I am glad that it looks like it's almost over, Caylee can have a decent burial, Casey and the rest of the family rot in jail. A fiction writer couldn't have made this stuff up.

Mary   December 13th, 2008 11:08 am ET

I have followed this case from the beginning, watching Nancy Grace every night. I knew one night I would turn the TV on and hear that some remains of a small child were found. It makes sense that Casey would leave her baby close to home as she didn't think she would get caught and that she could keep an eye on the area where she dumped the little body. I disagree with some who think that the grandparents had a part in this terrible act. Their only crime is that they spoiled their daughter so much that she turned into an evil, lying thief, who wanted to get her daughter out of her way so she could lead the life she had before Caylee came into the world. I think the crocodile tears Casey sheds are only because she got caught. With all the evidence against her, I don't think her "dream team" defense lawyers have a chance getting her acquitted. Casey needs to have that fake smirk of hers wiped off her face!

Tia S   December 13th, 2008 11:21 am ET

God is taking care of Caylee now. He blessed Casey with a very special gift and she chose to for whatever reason (no good one that I can think of) destroy that gift.

Casey has done absolutely nothing but lie through her teeth. And I honestly believe that George and Cindy know in their hearts what their daughter has done. In watching Larry King, I could see the pain in their faces, especially George's. But as a parent myself, I would not want to believe that my child was capable of something like this. Casey apparently has no conscience. What mother would not report their child missing within the first 30 minutes of her/him missing? What parent would not do everything in their power to aid in finding their child? What parent would go about their own life without knowing what is happening to their own child or where they are?

I was thinking when I heard that the death penalty was taken off the table "Have they lost their minds". But then I thought she didn't give Caylee a chance, she could have given custody to George and Cindy. Death would be too good for Casey! Life in prison with no chance at parole is a much better option for her, that way she could sit in there and rot thinking every single day about what she has done to her daughter. I hope that Caylee haunts her every minute she is awake and in her sleep.

God Bless you Caylee! You are now in arms that will eternally keep you safe. And my prayers to George and Cindy, that somehow someday they may have peace.

Stacy Florida   December 13th, 2008 11:55 am ET

My deepest sorrow for the entire Anthony family, excluding Casey. I hope now that poor baby can be safe in the arms of angels and the grandparents can grieve and heal thier broken hearts in private. Casey needs to be given the death penalty for her indescribable actions. No amount of therapy can reform such a selfish pychotic individual.

lotusjani   December 13th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

It is Caylee! sorry to say, Cindy and George know exactly what happened, but as someone commented, Cindy is the Sargeant Major in the family, and when Greta from Fox was interviewing them at their home, Cindy had her hand in George's leg the whole time, and I observed it and wondered if at certain time, according to the questions, she would give a little squeeze in his leg to shut him up, or change the version. These parents have been trying to milslead the police, go in National TV to get some bucks, and the smarter one in this bunch is brother Lee, he is notorioulsy absent from all the Media revolt, and I would think he also knows the truth but want no part of it. The pizza thing is a b.s. from Cindy and she should have shut her mouth about it long ago, her husband smelled decomp, so did she, I believe that is when Casey told the truth to them, of course, with a decoration of lies all around as how it happened. Time and justice will tell, and I hope Casey burns in hell and the parents are charged for obstructing the investigation. God bless this beautiful little baby singing You are my Sunshine!

Debbie   December 13th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

It will be interesting to see the jailhouse tapes of Casey and her parents after this new discovery. Will they still handle her with kid gloves as if she is a victim in all of this? How can they not want to take her and shake the truth out of her?

jeni   December 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Could the babysitter "zanny" possibly be the drug xanax? Could she have overdosed the chld accidently with xanax and chloroform ?

judy fields   December 13th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

where is the father of caylee and his parnets that was their grandchild and child to if casey was this bad of mother why hadnt someone tried to get her for unfit mother before this happened and let that little girl have a life to. its always to late and people say i should have done .But couldnt they see casey was not ready to be a mother or adult. sounds like casey parnets was the type to let casey do so she was out of their hair and maybe she thought because of her fathers postion she could get by with it and also him to.

Ann   December 13th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

As Casey has been saying, *my gut is she is close to home*, my gut tells me that poor baby was murdered and dumped by her mother. This was no accident. And I have have no doubts in my mind , that even though my heart goes out to the grandparents, they have known all along that every word that has come out of thier daughter's mouth has been a lie! Parents know when thier children lie! I can only hope that now that thier grandchild is gone and can RIP, they will no longer protect that monster(which is Casey,and Casey alone!) None of that babysitter B.S.! Now is the time they can REALLY can teach Casey some morals by not standing by her and forcing her to except responsibilities for her own actions! STOP babying her! Poor Caylee was the one who really needed protection!

Alicia   December 13th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

It's taken me a very long time to even be able to read the news articles about Caylee. As a single mother with a 3 year old daughter of my own, it comes too close to my heart. However, the similarities end there. I could never imagine bringing ANY harm to my daughter, never mind something like this. I can't imagine how Casey could do such a thing. When I picture that poor baby girl, discarded like she was trash, I feel a sadness I didn't know was possible. I will never understand why Casey couldn't just pack up and leave? Caylee's grandparents would have been happy to raise her, and Caylee would have been better off. In the end, it breaks my heart that Caylee was hurt by the one person who should have fought to the death to keep her safe. All I know is, I hug my daughter tighter now and look at her in a different light. To see someone like Casey throw away such a blessing, makes me even more grateful to have been given a beautiful little girl of my own.

cha cha   December 13th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

I've followed Cahlee's story from the beginning and I believe that if such a young child is lost or missing or whatever! The child's keeper or Mother for this matter would be Insanely Frantic to the point of collapsing within the first weeks let alone 3 mos. that has passed before indicating to others that the baby is missing. I hate to place guilt but I just can't understand how such a beautiful young child can be lost for so long and no one knows NOTHING??!! I sure hope Cahlee is alive and that skull doesn't belong to her ....and that justice will be served once they get to the bottom of this.

Mona   December 13th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

May this little baby rest in peace, she deserves that much. As for the Anthony family, Casey will live her life out in prison and the "reality" will set in. She is gonna get what she gave to her child right back at her behind bars and then some. Prisoners hate baby killers! And Mom and Dad, hope they get you both for hiding and tampering with the investigation, sham on you Cindy the F.B.I. is way smarter than you.

Mrs. Caruso   December 13th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

I've watched the Nancy Grace show since this case first broke. First, I want to thank her for her determination to uncover the truth in this case while everyone involved often just went with the flow, Nancy did not, hence we got the best information and coverage possible.
The reality is, the child is dead and will be confirmed soon. I have no sympathy for Casey and hope justice is served in the end. As for Cindy and George, my hearts go out to them even though I cringe at times listening to their lame explanations concerning evidence presented. I think they will beat themselves up for the rest of their lives, once they come out of denial, in regards to their grandchilds death. There is no question in my mind that they loved Caylee with all their heart and maybe even more than they did Casey. Just look at the face of Caylee as she sings on that video, " you are my sunshine" and then asks the question with a smile, " are you tired Poppa?" who apparently was sitting at the table with her, dozing off...there is so much love in her eyes for her grandparents...May God be with this family and give them the strength they will need in the days ahead.

sage   December 13th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

My thought is , if Casey wanted to go and do her usual partying she probably did chloriform the child, put the tape over her mouth, shut the trunk and did her thing.Just like many other times she did I'm sure. But this time she discovered that her child was not breathing, the very very first thingshe would have done was to imediately PULL OFF THE TAPE from her mouth. and try and reveive her? Tape was still intact and this tells me ..............She MURDERED this child!

Susan   December 13th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I am glad that they may have found her, but I am not glad she's gone. What a terrible thing to envision- a "person" (used loosely to describe Casey Anthony) could murder such a precious innocent. Just because she couldn't party-Caylee was cramping her social life. It's the most vile disgusting thing to have to think about. My daughter means more to me than life itself. This woman is a narcissistic sociopathic personality if I ever saw one. Death would be too good for her-let her loose in general population and let Big Bertha get at her. Or a gang of Big Berthas. Let them taper her mouth with duct tape before they torture her day after day for the rest of her life. Bless little Caylee-may she rest in peace with God. How ironic she could be home for Christmas.

Zene   December 13th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

God Bless little Caylee, let justice prevail.

Deb Saunders   December 13th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

I think they should put 10 huge screen tv's in her cell and have the video of Little precious Kaylee singing over and over and over until it drives that wench crazy!! I do not think anything strange of that Worker finding the bag suspicious at all, after all thats how most remains are found, meant to be at some point, meaning her remains to be found! I also would like to comment on Bi-Polar. My Daughter suffered from Bi-polar after their 3rd Child was born. We as a Family went throught the affects for 2 years, until her Doctor found the right combination to help her! Believe me, she was not dancing on any pole in night clubs on her low's , she was down and out in bed for 2 years. So don't try and blame bi-polar on casey's actions!! She deserves nothimng but the needle in my opion!! Rest in peace precious Angel Caylee~

debbi   December 13th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Like usual, they are holding back the information on discovery of the toddler found. With such a largely following case, and the medical
science today, one would think they would know something by now.

Lilly   December 13th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I hope everyone realizes that Casey will not talk or ever come clean about the death of her daughter. So many people think that she will finally speak the truth now, but it's not going to happen. The real story of how little Caylee died will go to her grave with her. This woman has no moral fiber, and no conscience.

Buck2   December 13th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

I am so angry about this whole story! For starters, after seeing George and Cindy Anthony on Larry King, I no longer feel sorry for them. Not only did they enable their 22 year old non-working daughter for years, they have repeatedly lied about things. This case stinks to high heavens and I hope that each and every one of them gets what they deserve! Caylee is the lucky one...she is away from all of those people and resting in the arms of God. Amen! On with the court hearing and off with Casey's head! (her parents deserve to get something too, but I'm not sure what)

shelly...canada   December 13th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

I've watched from the beginning and am glad that maybe, now that Caylee has been found we all can begin to put this horror behind us. Being from Canada where we do not advocate the death penalty, I believe Casey SHOULD be given the death penalty. It is pointless thinking Casey should be locked up so it will force her to dwell on what she has done to Caylee, for the rest of her miserable life. I dissagree. Casey couldnt care less about Caylee, or the tragedy she has caused. The only thing she will feel bad about is getting caught and spending the rest of her life locked up and unable to manipulate, lie and party hardy ever again. This is the only regret she has. Hopefully the death penalty will deter other nut cases from doing the same.

berta   December 13th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

I don't think it's strange that the utility worker found that bag! He was just going to relieve himself and came upon the bag. It was an act of god that found that baby.What I think is strange is how Cindy and George are reacting to all of this! Especially she has been lying since she made that 911 call! Cindy needs to get angry with her daughter and make her tell her just what it was that she did to that baby! If Cindy can choke her daughter in a argument over stolen money then she can hold her in a choke hold till she confesses! I really don't feel that sorry for Cindy! I do feel sorry for Lee and George and I think they need to run away from these women as fast as they can! God bless Caylee! heaven has one beautiful angel!

ITSYAGYRL   December 13th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

To the folks wondering why this guy was in the trees and not on the sidewalk, he was not embarrassed to let anyone know that he had to pee. It was said several times "he had to relieve himself, so he went into the woods there and upon exiting picked up a trash bag and a child's skull rolled out".

Deb Saunders   December 13th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Another thing that really bothers me, if Casey didn't work, why a Nanny?. Her Parents are living in total denial. If My Daughter didn't work I'd wonder why. They have child-gloved her all her life. Let her stand up and take responsibilty for her actions now! Wake up Cindy!!Smell the coffee, I think George has!

tammy   December 13th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

I HATE SEE THAT IT MAY HAVE COME TO THIS. BUT IF IT HAS. GOD PLEASE MAKE THEM PAY. FOR WHAT THIS CHILD HAS GONE THROUGHT.

Linda   December 13th, 2008 8:15 pm ET

This family to me is absolutely dysfunctional, I find that Cindy Anthony is as mentally defective as her daughter!! And it also is apparently clear who rules that household, certainly not George Anthony. None of us know what went on behind those closed doors but as far as I have sensed, this was not a loving, close family. I as a mother love my children but if ever I had a premonition that one of them had committed such a horrific act, I sure would not be defending them. It is so sad that this beautiful child had to pay such a price from a home that apparently had no parental skills. I can still see Caley on the video visiting the great grandfather, looking with those big brown eyes as though she was terrified. We are losing too many children to this kind of violence and I ask myself, when will it end. God must be looking down and asking Himself, WHY, WHY, WHY.

Linda

Millie   December 13th, 2008 8:22 pm ET

This case is so so shocking and so sad, but why does Nancy Grace call her Kelly. That is not her name and calling her by another name
is so disrespectable. her name is Caylee, would someone tell Nancy Grace!!!! It bothers me to hear her called Kelly because Kelly and Caylee is two different names!!!! Millie

tammy   December 13th, 2008 8:22 pm ET

MY 13 YEARS OLD ME TODAY MOMMY, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO DOE THIS TO A BABY? I TOLD HER THERE IS JUST SOME PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT DOENT NEED CHILDREN. BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. SHE SAID IF THAT WOMAN DIDNT WANT THAT BABY WHY DIDNT SHE JUST GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD TAKE CARE OF HER. SHE SAID MOMMY I WOULD HAVE WOULD YOU. AND I TOLD HER YES HONEY I WOULD HAVE. SHE ASK WHAT WILL THEY TO THE LITTLE BABIES MOMMY. I TOLLD HER I DONT KNOW . WE WILL JUST HAVE WAIT AND SEE. SHE SAID I HOPE THEY DONT HURT HER LIKE SHE DID THAT BABY. I TOLD HER THEY WOULDNT SHE WOULD GO TO JAIL MAYBE FOR A LONG TIME. ITS SAD FOR OTHER CHILDREN TO SEE THAT SOME PEOPLE DONT WANT THEIRS. GOD KNOWS I LOVE MY TWO GIRLS.

penny in wa   December 13th, 2008 8:29 pm ET

lee's girlfriend was told to go in there by cindy and to get someting . you all know that ....dont think anything different . they were informed in cali.. lee has a key to that house .. it was his home at one time .. also there had to still be hair . somewwhere . i read a book and 1 yr later they had a few strands . yes they know who it is by dental, and hair , but they are testing the tissue that was found before they release who it is . (tissue someowhere is there ) once again in a book i read there was tissue on finger 1 yr later ... so i believe they got tissue .... now as to how it was caused what happened ..... i only hope (( for the fact she get life and possibly death )) that they find broken bones , esp the neck .. i hate to say that but she needs to rot in hell for this . . and i am afraid that if they find no cause , she will maybe 30 yrs ? thats the wory i have .
i hope everyone in the world takes a moment to thank God and the person who found these bones .
may little Caylee rest now .
and may Casey rot in hell.

sarah   December 13th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

I'm so tired of hearing about little kids or anyone for that matter go missing or being raped or both. Seriously everyone says this world is a safe place but theres not one place thats safe. Mothers are supposed to protect their children not fuking murder them and let them sit and decomp for nearly seven months. I hope casey is found guilty and that the hair found belongs to caylee because then it just shows not even a child is safe from there parents.

Jackie   December 13th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

We must not be fooled into believing this was a tragic accident and a paniced family covering it up. The woman was writing cryptic peoms on her myspace days before the child went missing. "Remember these words what can be given can be taken away" While I have news for her the lord gave that life and only he had the right to take it. Then she wrote "everyone lies everyone dies" No Casey not everyone lies although the whole world is aware of how much you do and yes Casey everyone does die and some people rot in hell. She was searching the internet on how to kill. Also she was searching on missing childrens website. Was this to aid in her plan to make it look like a kidnapping? I believe so. Any mother who babysitter had taken her child would have immedatley contact police and not have gone to blockbuster with a boyfriend and then party with girlfriends at the club. She is a selfish little monster who couldn't give HER GIFT to another so it was better in her wicked mind to toss her baby out like trash. Disgusted doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. I don't want her put to death I want her lock up in a small cell for the rest of her life surround by pictures of her daughter alive and her funeral. That she should have no rights to attend. She never should show much emotion as she did when they found the body. I wonder why she broke down then and needed a setative because she realize the body would prove what she did and she would have to pay for her crime. I hope she never sees the light of day again. The christain in me would like to pray for her soul but the mother in me just can't.

Gloria   December 13th, 2008 10:50 pm ET

There are so many things that don't seem right, to begin with Cindy and George were so upset with all the people in front of their house (which I can understand) but why were they always going out knowing the press was there...or when they made a big fuss and showed up at one of the searches. It seems to me (especially Cindy) was looking for all the attention with the press. They were on" Larry King Live" and it seemed like Cindy was directing the talk for George on the program. As for Casey, I hope she gets put in her place, after all the lies etc. She had such a beautiful little angel and to do the things she did (if it is Caylee). I have 5 grown adult kids and they call me everyday and if I don't hear from them, I will call them. I think it's about time for Cindy to stop enabling Casey and come to the realization that Casey is a spoiled conniving brat. I believe George is more mature and does know that his daughter guilty.

jesse   December 13th, 2008 11:01 pm ET

They said that the meter reader went to use the bathroom.

It was only a matter of time before her body was found they always do. Of course now the evil babysitter killed Caylee not Casey.

jackie   December 14th, 2008 1:02 am ET

Tot mom, Casey, made a chilling remark while speaking with her brother on a taped phone release, months ago. He asked where Caley thought the baby was now, and Casey answered, "I think she is close."
Why on earth can't this family get to this disturbed woman and break her down? The family is a loving family – or, WHY can't the authorities 'break her"? Forget the legalities; everyone has a breaking point.
God bless this poor family. Who among us could possibly accept that we could have raised a child without a heart? A mother who possibly used duct tape? And God bless this innocent childs' unbeating heart.
One more thing – it sickens me to hear lawyers being gathered for the defense as a "Dream Team". Most 2 1/2 year olds are simply 'dreaming of Christmas' right now. Give Casey a defense attorney – but, I am offended by the feeding frenzy of 'Dream Team' lawyers now wanting in on this publicized case. Shame.

Pidge   December 14th, 2008 1:12 am ET

Best thing to happen is to "accidentally" release Casey into the general pop of a prison. The inmates will take care of her in no time flat.

Linda   December 14th, 2008 5:25 am ET

This is what happens when drugs and alcohol take over one's being. Casey wanted to give the baby up for adoption–I wish that would have happened. I wish that Casey would have taken Caylee to a place like a church and left her there. I wish that her parents would have had her committed to rehab a long time ago. I wish they would have encouraged Casey to be a good mom instead of yelling at her all the time (I just believe that is probably what happened). I wish that Cindy had called CPS on Casey a long time ago to open her eyes. Poor Caylee!!!! I wish that she would have had a chance!!!! I can just see the look on her little face when the killer was doing that brutal act!!!! The killer needs to have MURDERER branded on their forehead frontwards and backwards that way when they look at their self in the mirror will see just what they are.

merry   December 14th, 2008 6:57 am ET

I think the reason the police took the pesticides are because they contain chloroform, most industrial strengths of pesticideds do. Casey was most likely trying to use it to speed up decomposition. She had studied neck breaking and death over the internet, she was aware of the stages of decomposition, I hate it, but I think the monster broke the childs neck, then had to tape her mouth most likely because it did not kill her, only caused great pain, she may have even buried her in this condition ( I think she buried her in the backyard then moved her later when the smell started rising). I also think her real plan included her parents as well. Remember, she was telling her friends that in 30 days she was going to own her parents home, as though they were too, going to just 'dissappear', I think when her mom busted her out, it was too soon for her to carry out the rest of her sick plan.

Bets   December 14th, 2008 9:25 am ET

Unfortunately, from the moment this whole fiasco began, I've believed that Caylee was dead. The lies, the stealing, the partying, etc. What kind of mother would go out and do that? I have two daugters, and one is just a little younger than Caylee, and I know I'd be a wreck if anything ever happened to either of my daughters! I'd hand over everything to the police if it would help their investigation. Nothing is more important to me! So, to see no remorse whatsoever from Casey, and watching the grandparents pathetically try to cover up for her and change their stories, is just sickening. Casey has no conscience. Once she is convicted, the only thing she'll probably miss is going out to clubs and partying. That's how sick I think she is. And the grandparents are going to be living with guilt for the rest of their lives, the "if onlys". It's all so sad. Caylee is in a better place now. I do truly wish she had been found alive.

lori   December 14th, 2008 10:19 am ET

I think all of the "sightings" are strange..kinda feels like the grandparents are steering everyone away ?

Sapphyre   December 14th, 2008 10:48 am ET

I'm glad for ONCE they are seeking the death penalty in one of these "poisoned Mom" murder trials. About TIME society wised up and see these women for what they are COLD BLOODED MURDERERS and not "poor sick individuals who need help not the death penalty" ... Yates and Smith should get the needle too! I hope this sets a precident!

We all know it's Caylee and we all know the sorry excuse for a mother did it. She won't admit it because she loves the attention she's getting as does, the idiot Leonard the Bounty Hunter. Who needs his opinion? So far he has been proven wrong on everything he comes up with. It's a sick twisted family with sick twisted beliefs and motives. Who knows? Who will ever know?

Sapphyre   December 14th, 2008 11:20 am ET

Actually I see now they are not seeking the death penalty. Sad. Maybe someone will do her in while she's rotting in jail.

Annawolf   December 14th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

The Defense Dream Team of Casey Anthony. What a bunch of narcissistic jerks. These people swooped in like a bunch of vultures to be in front of the cameras. Everyone is capitalizing on the tragic demise of little Caylee. George and Cindy Anthony staying at the Ritz-Carlton, they sure have been making money since their granddaughter’s disappearance.
I’m a grandmother. My grandson is 2 months older than little Caylee. He lives 3 miles away but if my son had been feeding me all sorts of stories as to where my grandson was I wouldn’t buy it. Casey lived at home with her parents and they never questioned her as to the whereabouts of their granddaughter? I adore my son but if ever he explained my grandson’s disappearance there is no way I would be defending him like the Anthonys are about their daughter. Something isn’t right here.
If all those Defense experts really wanted to help out why don’t they go and help solve the murder of those 2 little girls who were shot in Oklahoma? There’s a list of thousands of cases they could lend their expertise to but then the media wouldn’t be there to bolster their egos.
The entire Anthony family is mixed-up in this somehow.

marian dark dragonness   December 14th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Could it be that George and Cindy, as well as Jose Padilla, have known about this death for months now. Could this be the real reason that they have insisted that the search for Caylee be continued, because they knew that eventually someone would find the remains. Casey does not appear strong enough to have kept her secret for this long. I think she is a very troubled young woman and she probably should be on a suicide watch. How can George and
Cindy and Lee and everyone else keep their composure? They have done their grieving already. In the earliest days of this. They only have Casey to protect now, as much as they can.

pat jazz   December 14th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

I was hoping Caylee was alive, but I really knew in my heart she's gone. That mother should be executed on Christmas Day because Caylee will never see other Christmas...If she didn't want the child she should have given to her parents...I have no pity for her if I was the judge she would be fried......

Floyd   December 14th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

The words I have to say about this case cannot be printed on a public page. I hope the mother doesn't try the mental defect defense because if you follow a pattern of logical thought, it wouldn't make sense. It is obvious from all the items of potential evidence that were removed from the grandparents home that once a body was found, there was considerable potential evidence to link more than one person to this crime. Whether it was done by this other party they had to have know about it unless they were blind and are just as guilty under the law as the one who actually did it.
I am 60 years old. retired and have 5 grandchildren, 3 of them girls and I wish my wife and I had been given the opportunity to raise the little girl. We would have done it and not asked for one cent of public aid. Hearing her sing and seeing her smile just breaks my heart.

SUSANNA   December 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

When I head they thought Caylee's remains had been found, I literally sobbed. I knew it but didn't want to know it. As a mother/grandmother/greatgrandmother, it is inconceivable to me this child was treated so horribly by her mother, i.e., drugs used to sedate her, cholorform used on the child, child left in trunk drugged how many times so the tot mom could party? Disgraceful. The grandparents have got to realize their precious grandbaby is gone and their daughter killed her. I say hang her high. Cudos to Nancy Grace and entourage for constant and consistant followup and for reporting the truth!

Elizabeth Shaw   December 14th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

He walked back into the woods to go pee! There is NOTHING strange about a man doing that. Yeeessh! Seems people will go *anywhere* to come up with a conspiracy theory.

I just want to say that I have followed this from day one and it sickens me.

Sunshine   December 14th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Did anyone ever ask Cindy or George Anthony if Caylee ever talked about Zanny the Nanny. If Caylee was kept by a nanny, she would have mentioned her. Common sense tells you, someone else would have met the nanny.

V. SIPPLE   December 14th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I KNEW FROM THE BEGINING THAT LITTLE CAYLEE WAS ALREADY GONE FROM THIS WORLD. I'VE WATCHED NANCY GRACE ALL THESE YRS AND I THINK SHE'S AWSOME. THE VIDEOS MOSTLY SAID IT ALL ALONG WITH CASEYS ACTIONS. I DO BELIEVE THE REMAINS ARE LITTLE CAYLEES. MY HEART BREAKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL. THE DEATH PENTALTY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR CASEY, BECAUSE SHE WILL BE SITTING THERE IN A CELL FOR YRS BECAUSE OF THE APPEALS PROCESS. I FEEL LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE WOULD BE APPROPIATE AS LONG AS SHE'S PUT IN POPULATION. I ALSO FEEL THE GRANDMOTHER SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES TO FOR WITH HOLDING EVIDENCE. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE GRANDFATHER THO, HE SHOWS ALOT OF REMORSE AND THE POOR MAN ISN'T EVEN ALOUD TO SPEAK UNLESS THE GRANDMOTHER APPROVES. I HAVE A QUESTION TO HOW COME THE PARENTS[GRAND PARENTS ]DIDN'T SEARCH CLOSE TO THE HOUSE? RIP LITTLE CAYLEE.

Kelly   December 14th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

In regards to the comment left by Mylissa. The meter reader was looking for a meter which was why he was poking around the area. Meters are not on the sidewalk. And as far as I know the bag was found close to the woods, not deep in the woods. Maybe I am wrong but I DO know that meters are not on the street unless he was a parking meter reader.

Helen   December 14th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

Casey will NEVER admit responsibility for this. Its not in her nature. Casey and the truth have a problem. She has been living a life of lies and no-one has ever taken her to task in the past. Her fingerprints could be all over the bag, clear cut evidence will point to her and she will spin out new lies. She just doesn't get it. The investigators gave her an opportunity to tell the truth and to make this a bit easier for herself and she chose to contine with her lying ways....even after they disproved everything she told them. This is what has outraged the public. I guess she will have lots of time to think about what she has done when she is locked up for life.

God Bless little Caylee. Everyone Loves you.........

Grandmother of 5   December 14th, 2008 10:15 pm ET

I feel that Casey Anthony did kill Caylee and hid the body. I also find it too convenient that her parents would wait a MONTH to call the police to report Caylee missis. This in my book as suspect. Speaking as a grandmother, if Casey came home and said the Nanny had Caylee I would say, let's get in th car and go get her. I have watched and assisted in raising all of my grandchild, my oldest grandson was born when his mom was 15 and my son 17. They did the smart thing, they both said they wanted the baby but knew they were not ready to be parents. They signed over legal custody to me until the finished school (college) and then I gave him back. That was the hardest thing I have had to do. If the Anthony's waited 30 days that tells me that they knew something more than they are saying. They are trying everything in their power to make Caseys lies sound like the are correct. I truly believe they have some involvement in this and they at this point are covering their butts, it seemed very convenient that the bones wer "found" when they were out of town "following a lead" and then when they came back and WERE allowed in the house
they did not stay there. BE HONEST, ADMIT WHAT HAPPENED. IFYOUR FAMILY DID NOT WANT HER, I WOULD HAVE GLADLY TAKEN HER TO RAISE AS MY OWN.

amadreluz   December 14th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

i don't find it strange that the worker had to go and relieve himself away from the road. in fact lets be grateful that he did! he wasnt being indecent and he was probably led there by angels watching over caylee....lets be glad that the people who cared for this child can mourn fully if and when they discover that it is indeed her. bless her and her family.

amadreluz   December 14th, 2008 11:08 pm ET

and in response to Liz above my post , you are right on! what a very insightful analysis my goodness, when she (Cindy) does face her guilt and the truth, it will no doubt destroy her but i think this will open her up to some healing as well....before there is light there is great darkness as we know.

MS   December 15th, 2008 2:15 am ET

i myself have 3yr old and if I didn't know where he was for even 30seconds i would panic. Casey Anthony is the exact reason why parents should have licences. Offer free prenatal classes with professionals, have the classes as a manditory prerequesit to file for any type of parental finacial aid, if you don't take the class you don't get your money.
this is in fact a horrible situation and i do believe the remains are that of Caylee's, but if for some freak chance that they're not, regardless it is someone elses baby, someone elses baby who seemingly also had a horrible end. a baby that never came home.
what is this world coming to?

A.Call   December 15th, 2008 5:56 am ET

IF it is Caylee, how can it be an accident, they have said there was duct tape over the skulls mouth.....duct tape over a childs mouth is no accident.

Rodney   December 15th, 2008 8:33 am ET

The man went in the woods to go to the bathroom, there is nothing weird about that. What is weird is a mother not reporting her 2 year old child missing!

rebecca duboise   December 15th, 2008 9:52 am ET

there is obviously something very wrong with casey. she reminds me of scott peterson. they seem to be unaware of their horrible situations.
Amazing just watching them.

jayne   December 15th, 2008 9:54 am ET

I believe the remains found to be little Caylee and her mom Casey should fry and also believe someone else is involved grandmother cindy? may little Caylee RIP GODS LITTLE ANGEL

Teri   December 15th, 2008 9:58 am ET

Perhaps Casey put the duct tape on Caylee's mouth after she died from a chloroform overdose so that if the body was found, she could continue to claim it was Zany who killed her.

I can't wait to see the toxicology reports to see if Casey has given Caylee Zanex in the past to make her sleep while she was out partying. Hence the phrase, Zany the Nanny – the child was really knocked out on Zanex, not with a real person.

cindy   December 15th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Come on you guys.the tot mom is GUILTY! how can anyone think otherwise?those of you who sort of try to say that maybe she is "mentally insane" blah blah are delusional! those tears she is shedding are for HERSELF.whatever happened to people being EVIL? anyone?yes,there are real people out there that are just evil and the tot mom certainly is one of them.
no good mom is going to party afterwards and act the way she is acting.
death penalty is what is needed.some people are just so evil that we'd be doing them a favor.why waste tax payers money to put her in jail for life so we can pay for her meals,medical care and anything else she may need.
people are becoming cold.it seems people dont feel the natural human feelings we had for each other of caring and compassion like we did years ago.something bad is happening to all of us as a whole and thats really very scary.when we loose out ability to feel....

Michelle   December 15th, 2008 10:01 am ET

I am Thankful that little Caylee's remains will have a proper burial. Casey murdered her child. It was no accident the duct tape around the baby girls mouth says that the poor little girl struggled and fought to keep her life as well as murder no accident. Did the grandparents know? At the time it was going on I don't think so. Casey kept them at bay with stories of Zanny the Nanny taking Caylee on fun trips to the beach, Universal and Disney World...what grandparent would interrupt a child's fun. I do blame them for not questioning it alot harder especialy seeing what a liar Casey has always been. Cindy was definately squirming on Larry King...not the body language of an experienced liar. Actually just the opposite. Cindy is guilty however of covering up evidence. The woman is a nurse that is why she washed the clothes in the trunk of the car..she knew what the smell was (she had smelled it many times i'm sure). She tried to mislead everyone with the hairbrush incident. Did no one remember that a DNA test was done on Caylee when she was born because Jesse Grund wanted to know the paternity of the baby...so that information is on file. I don't believe that Caylee's Dad is dead either. The story for that one goes that he died on his way to Caylee's birthday party...very dramatic and has all the makings of one of Casey's pity lies. George Anthony has always known the truth I don't understand why he didn't put on some pants and take control of his family and the situation rather than let Cindy cause them further pain with her denial.

Death Penalty: Absolutley! I would not want one cent of my tax dollars paying for the upkeep of anyone who murders a child. Especially Casey. I only wish that when it came to death penalty sentencing that the perp. would have to die in the exact same method that they killed with.

Final Thought: Please all of you showing your concerns lets make sure we keep the pressure on this case! Let's fight for justice for Caylee now. May she sleep in peace with God now.

Joni Al-Suradi   December 15th, 2008 10:07 am ET

I was watching Lisa Bloom this morning in response to the abuse the parents of Caylee are having to indure. Lisa I so agree with you, the parents are doing what ANY parent would do. They are praying and hoping for the safe return of thier grandchild, and pray that their daughter is not involved. I feel for the parents, who knows what we would do in that situation. Who wants to believe that their own child harmed their grandchild. They need time to come to terms with this. And we should not judge them or Caylee until we see all of the evidence. Lisa thank you for wanting people to understand the pain they are so induring right now. God Bless

K. Sweeney   December 15th, 2008 10:15 am ET

I work for a community college which has public/government programs especially for unwed mothers to encourage and motive the mothers to seek an education. If qualified, the education is free, there is housing, gas, food and babysitting allowances. I don't understand why the Anthony's did not encourage their daughter, Casey, to br involved in such program or why did Casey not want to seek a higher education to give her the skills to obtain a better living not only for her- self, but also for her child? She would be independent and not have to be living at her parents' home and be on her own. Second option, allow her parents to adopt Cayle? So many options than death.

Colby   December 15th, 2008 10:55 am ET

I had my daughter when I was 17 and I know very well the feeling of being left out and wanting to go out and party with my friends- however, I love her more than words and wouldn't change a thing. There is NOTHING in this world that would EVER lead me to kill or even hurt my little girl. It was my choice to be irresponsible and bring her into the world in a not-so-ideal situation and in having her and keeping her, I made it my responsibility to provide her with the love and care every child deserves. Casey is a selfish, disgusting, horrible excuse for a human being. If I couldn't find my now 3-and-a-half year old for 5 minutes, let alone 31 days, I would be hysterical and calling anyone I could to help me. Even if she hurt Caylee on accident (which I believe the duct tape definitely rules out) for the love of the child, wouldn't any true mother admit to her mistake and do her best to at least give the little one a proper, respectful way of being laid to rest? The poor beautiful baby girl, I hope she can finally be at peace.

Claudette Siar   December 15th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Why was a wreath of flowers propped up at a tree, at the discovery site of the body? It was when the investigator were first at the site. It was clear on the news footage, white, round with flowers? Who placed it there before the site was even cleared by authorties? Whas it at the site when the body was discovered?

TC   December 15th, 2008 11:16 am ET

I Cannot believe that the grandparents are still saying Casey is innocent. They are now reporting that the "real" killer left the bag there for someone to find. Oh please. Are they ever going to do the right thing? I understand they want to protect their daughter but if my daughter had done this and all the signs pointed to it, I would want her to face the music and tell the truth and accept the consequences.

Spider   December 15th, 2008 11:17 am ET

janet collins-
"This baby was murdered on purpose and with premeditation due to the fact that the baby’s skull that fell out of the plastic bag had duct tape around the baby’s mouth. If there was any kind of accident, there would not be tape around the baby’s mouth."

Diane-
"Duct tape over the mouth..first degree murder."

If you assume that Casey was involved in the death of this child, which is an assumption at this point, her defense attorneys have already set up the possibility that this was an accident that Casey handled wrong. If it was an accidental death, Casey got scared and tried to cover it up, she might have put tape over the dead baby's mouth to further her story about an abduction.
These amateur theories about guilt or innocence, made without any evidence, are why our legal system is so messed up. Who wants a jury of one's peers, when this is the type of people in the jury pool?

Cynthia   December 15th, 2008 11:31 am ET

I know that everyone has the right to a fair trial, but the evedence in the Casey Anthony case is just over the top. I totally believe that she is guilty, and I think that there would be no way that she will receive a fair trial. Casey, has lied about everything, when she broke down when the little body was found, I think that she was crying about herself only. Busted, Busted, Busted, and I am so glad. She is an evil person, and there is no way that she should be thought of as being mentally ill. I never believed in the death penalty before, but I do now. How could she be so cold? I was watching her as she was holding Caylee, during a vidio tape. Caylee had kissed her, but Casey lended back as if it was gross, and then she wiped the kiss off. This body language alone should tell prosectuors that she is a monster.

TX Prayer for the Anthony's   December 15th, 2008 11:31 am ET

I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but am I the only one who remembers the first time the divers found what appeared to be remains in the River where the divers were searching and they said Casey came out of her cell and was watching the tv coverage WITHOUT ANY EMOTION, this time when these remains were found near her home, SHE NEEDED A PSYCHIATRIST AND TO BE SEDATED after getting the news! WHY? Because, only SHE knows where she put that precious little girl! SHE KNOWS IT'S CAYLEE!! I hope that George and Cindy Anthony stop enabling Casey and start fighting for the memory of their granddaughter once forensic testing reveals that this is indeed Caylee. They had the correct gut reaction in the beginning and just couldn't bear to believe it. Who can blame them? My prayer's go out to the entire Anthony family.

ggmom   December 15th, 2008 11:38 am ET

They said he was in the woods to relieve himself. Plus this was found not far from the road.

Shelagh from Canada   December 15th, 2008 11:40 am ET

There are so many lies in this story, from the parent and the grandparents.

I don't think Casey would/will spend the rest of her life thinking about her daughter. She's shown that there was no love for little Caylee in her heart. If my child or grandchild was missing for 31 days I would have been screaming blue-murder from the moment I realized she/he was gone... At the same time, if it turned out my child had something to do with the disappearance I would be demanding full justice!

Vince AR   December 15th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Those tears are sympathy for herself not her daughter. 100% responsible for your children. Oh the crazy plot for her to shut up about kidnapping her? Any parent would not comply to that.

Tamela Derossett   December 15th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Maybe, Casey Anthony was indebt to Zannie Gonazales for some drugs (cocaine or meth?) or someone near Gonzales. The mexican mafia or someone may be after her for the money she owes and so they took Caylee instead, killed her and are making it look like Casey did it. Maybe, Casey did not report Caylee missing for 31 days to anyone because she is ashamed of her drug problem and the drug problem may explain why she was out partying so much. She may just be an addict and is denying it. Bad drug deals happen everyday and people kill over them. Then again, maybe I watch too much TV but she is saying on the jailhouse tapes that she feels safer in jail. Just a thought...

Debbie   December 15th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

The only Anthony I feel sorry for is the Lee. Both Cindy and George have helped Casey cover this whole thing up. Cindy should be sitting right there along side of Casey. First of all, no one can mistaken the smell of death for rotting pizza. Secondly, she washed Casey's clothes AFTER she told police there were stains on it.
I have prayed this child was alive, but my instinct has always told me she is not. I just think there is so much more to this than just a little chloroform. Not only did the Anthony's help her hide this, they do not care about that little girl one bit. If they did, they would be spending night and day out trying to get to the bottom of everything instead of standing on their front lawn arguing with an angry mob!

kathy   December 15th, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Does anyone besides me remember a comment on Nancy Grace where George Anthony was seen staring into the woods as of he was looking for something? Could that be the same woods where the bag with the remains was found? If so, someone should investigat his involvement a little closer!!

Gloria   December 15th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

I understand the grandparents are grasping at straws, but there comes a time when you need to be realistic. Casey is a very disturbed, selfish, liar. I have believed for a long time that Casey wanted to party, but didn't want her mother to lecture her about her responsibilities (again). Casey thought she could snow caylee, hide her in the trunk, and party. She stole instead of working to support herself and daughter. Instead of building a stable life for her child, Casey continued her shallow, self-indulgent party life. A very telling remark relating to her delusions of granduer: she calls her make-believe babysitter a nanny. And although she's been caught, she continues to lie, not realizing that everyone sees right through her.

Laura   December 15th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

1. Casey didn’t give lovely Caylee to someone who would care because she cared too much that people may harbor bad thoughts about her. She is a narcissistic psychotic and evil person. ____ 2. I don’t think that her parents are involved in the events. They just wanted to believe in their daughter. Why would Cindy call the police and talk about the smell of a dead body in the trunk if she was culpable? She probably at first thought Casey had done something terrible but then changed her mind after talking to Casey, wanting to believe her. _______ 3. Why wouldn’t the people who “saw” Caylee call authorities right away? Why just take pics and contact the Anthony’s? You’re sitting right across from a missing child and yet all you do is take a picture? Stupid! If I saw a child whom I believed to be missing I’d call authorities right away and tail the people until authorities got there to sort it out.

Gloria   December 15th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

OMG!! I just heard that obscene comment made by Mr. Baden, M.E. "Many people use chloroform to sedate their children". Really??? Does he expect to be taken seriously making remarks like that? That's worse than when he worked for spector. His wife must be mortified. How embarrassing. I realize they are buying his testimony, but can't he try thinking before speaking. He and Casey are quite a pair.

Kelly   December 15th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

In Casey Anthony's analogy that their family represents a hand. Her father is the thumb, her mother is the pointer finger, the middle finger represented her brother Lee because he was the largest. This leaving the pinkie finger for Caylee because she was the smallest and Casey the ring finger. She mentioned the hand was incomplete since Caylee was missing and she was in jail. My opionion if she is found guilty of murder and the death penalty is not received......they should permanently remove both of her pinkie fingers to remind her everyday that Caylee is gone. Eye for and eye........pinkie for a pinkie!

I think the death penalty is too good for her....let her stay in prison and rot like she left her beautiful innocent daughter to do.

God bless Caylee and her family for this horrible horrible crime.

laura   December 15th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

where is the father of caylee? who is he? did he help her do this?

Gary Anderson   December 15th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

I REMBER WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN THE NAVY A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME HE GAVE PARAGART ? TOO HIS BABY TO MAKE IT SLEEP AT NIGHT.i DIDNT KNOW AT THE TIME WHAT THAT WAS , BUT I KNEW ENOUGH THAT IT BROUGHT OUR FRIENDSHIP TO AN END.

Tamara   December 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

my sister and i believe that the remains that were found are those of caylee and we also believe that the grandparents are not say every thing they know, cus if the remains isn't caylee there is another child missing. i hope caylee is resting with god now i knew from the start of this case that the mother killed her, i hope the state gives her death cus she should don't belong on this earth with the rest of us. i want her to get death cus her daughter don't have a life so her mom shouldn't have a life either, the grandparents should be in jail to the granparents had to had something to do with this death to cus they weren't real upset about any of this either, thats just what i think.

Griffin   December 15th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Has anyone noticed:
There is a big difference when Cassey answers her father and when she answers her mother. When George speaks with Cassey he is not confronting her therefore her facial expressions are relaxed and she is quite happy, when her mother moves in to speak, right off the bat Cassey is guarded, her eyebrows go up. Only is it when Cassey is “off the subject” not speaking about Caylee, does her expression change to a relaxed state.

Laura   December 15th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Caylee's father was never in her life. He died when she was 2. It's on the Larry King interview.

Tracy   December 15th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

This is really crazy listening to this mother talk, it really bothered me. Yes, it seems like when ever she says something it is a lie and does not make any since. As a mother & grandmother if I had not heard from one of my children or grandchildren I would be questioning someone. I would not wait a month later. If the mother did this and the grandparents are protecting her, they need to to charged also.
<<<<<>>>>>
But, like another commentor stated it is wired that this person was to be working on the sidewalk, but comes across a bag in another area, SOMETHING IS NOT ADDING UP.
Then again lets say that they find out this mother did not do this, one is to be inoccent until found proof beyond resable doubt.
I really feel something don't seem right at all......................

Tracy   December 15th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Laura comment is very much on the nose, we have not heard anything about this child father. WHERE IS HE ??????????? We the viewers want to know..............

Laura w/Cap L   December 15th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

the father had nothing to do this. He was never in Caylee's life. He died when she was around 2 years old.

Laura w/Cap L   December 15th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

OK I just did a quick search regarding Caylee's dad – Many don't believe he is really dead. But honestly it doesn't matter. I don't think he was involved in anything. Whoever he is, he probably doesn't even know he is her father. Sounds like a Maury episode.

Gary Anderson   December 15th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

IS IT ANY WONDER THE CRIME LAB DOSENT WANT THE DREAM TEAM ANYWHERE NEAR THE EVIDINCE. DO YOU REMBER DR. HENRY LEE . SUDENLY HAVING TOO MAKE AN EMERGENCY TRIP TO CHINA. AFTER WITNESS TESTIFIED THAN HE HID EVIDINCE AT THE LANNA CLARKSON CRIME SEEN. AND DR. BOYDEN AND HIS EXTREMLY UNREALISTIC TESTOMY.YOU NOTICE EVEN HIS LAWYER WIFE WASNT INVITED BACK FOR THE RETRIAL.I THINK THERE CREABILITY IS OUT THE WINDOW.ALSO I HOPE ALL THE MONEY THAT WAS RAISED TO FIND CAYLEE WILL BE RETURNED.AND NOT USED TO PAY FOR THE HIRED GUNS TOO DEFEND THI9S COLD BLOODED KILLER.

milagros   December 15th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

jones from Idaho   December 15th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Is it funny how they want the vacum cleaners and things when it been 6 months. Sure there would be hair in there unless they are all bald.
and the hair with the band if it isn't cayee then whos is it . maybe and other body?????

maria   December 15th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

When George on the jail tapes tells Casey I should of been a better grandfather Casey confirms the past tense by saying something like its ok you were a great grandfather... I would of said you are a great grandfather speaking in present tense...

Ann   December 15th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

I agree with you Gary Anderson....My stomach just turns at the thought that those lawyers will get paid with the funds to help find Caylee. That money should be donated to eqqusearch or some other *find missing kids* fund. Maybe it's a good thing those *big named* lawyers were called, because they are they worse excuse for defence lawyers and maybe thier notoritity will work against them this time. We can only hope. As for death...that would be the easy way out for Casey. I hope she gets live w/o parole. Being she's only 22, that could mean a very very long time of suffering for her. Even the Scott Peterson case didn't disturb me as much as this one!

Deanne   December 15th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

The Anthony grandparents have been through too much already from their adult daughters actions and the loss of their beautiful granddaughter and it’s soo unfair that they now have to suffer unneccesarly because of vigilants that will not and cannot understand their uncomprehensible loss and suffering they already and will have to for the rest of their lives live with. The only thing they did was be blinded by unconditional love for their daughter and want to believe her, which is exactly what normal loving parents do sometimes, but I think they are slowly but surely coming to grips with the truth about their daughter. I just pray that our merciful Lord helps them through this most difficult and horrifying time and help others to be more understanding and merciful towards what they are going through as they are not the ones who I believe have done anything wrong but love their adult, lying daughter.

cheryl   December 15th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I believe that the mother killed this little girl and it is sad that someone would go this low. I would never think in a million years of killing any one of my children. I would like to choke them sometimes but that is just a figure of speech. I would never hurt any of them...How could a mother do this to their own child? This case reminds me so much of the Susan Smith case where she stood on shore and watched her little boys drown and then tried to blame a kidnapping on an innocent man. What is the gain by doing something like this? May God have mercy on the ones that did this to little Caylee. May she rest in peace now and for eternity..This is God's Sweet Angel....

John Lennon   December 15th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

I wonder if the Anthonys came from Nevada? You`ve got a lying ex-cop that married Cindy, and turned her into a liar, and had Casey that`s a liar!!! It`s a shame that little Caylees life was taken by these liars. Does anyone agree??

Susan   December 15th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

I am a housewife and have watched every single day from day one about the missing Florida tot Caylee Anthony. The grand parents make me sick. They know Casey did it, thats why they keep changing their stories, they don't want their daughter to look like a monster and don't want her to go to prison or get the death sentence. But lets face it, the world knows that Casey killed her child, there is no Zinida and she should get the death sentence for killing that poor baby.

Misty   December 15th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

After all the lies Casey has told, all the pictures of her out parting when she claims to have been looking for her daughter, sending the police on a wild goose chase to old employers, the wild no-sense making stories, how can her parents continue to stand by her?
I hope little Caylee can rest in peace.

D   December 15th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

How sickening this case is! There were so many other options for this poor excuse of a mother. I would love to line her up with Susan Smith and Andrea Yates and give them all what they deserve. She deserves death because obviously she had no remorse from the start, and sitting in a jail cell for years will not change that for someone as twised as her. GOD BLESS CAYLEE!

heather   December 16th, 2008 4:04 am ET

How in the world could anyone hurt a precious child??? And knowing that it could have been her mother is just beyond me!!! I am completely blown away, and my heart aches for that little girl and the rest of the family. I have children and my children are what I live for. I couldn't imagine life without them, much less taking their lives away from them. I am not god I am their mother.

heather   December 16th, 2008 4:16 am ET

Sorry I have one more thing to say....I hope this woman who calls herself a mother, does not get the death penalty. I hope she has to suffer everyday until she takes her last breath of life knowing what she did...and I hope the beautiful face of her precious baby girl haunts her mind each and everyday. God bless you Caylee, America loves you baby. WHy didn't Casey just give this baby to someone who wanted to be a mommy? SOmeone who would love and cherish her every moment. What is wrong with the people of this world? WHat happened to all the good people and good values?

Megan   December 16th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Does the daughter of an ex-homicide cop really believe she could get away with the murder of her own child? Enjoy the jail house cuisine, Casey. Happy Holiday's.

Laurie   December 16th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

I'm really sick of hearing poor Cindy and George Anthony. Because what kind of grandparents let a month go by with out speaking or seeing their grandchild, when that child had lived with them since the day she was born. Casey took that baby on June 16th and they wait a month knowing full well she didn't have an apartment didn't they even wonder where that baby was sleeping at night or if she was eatting or if she was ok. I have a 2 yearold granddaughter and i would never ever let a month go by with out speaking to her or seeing her. So don't think these grandparents are so great cuz i blame them too for not watching out for Caylee. They knew what their daughter was like and they just let her take her.and then wait a month come on something is not right here. There is more to this story then we know.

Megan   December 16th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Anyone else think that Casey’s reaction is an indication that the body found is Caylee?

I say that because if you remember when they had discovered a bag in the lake/pond a month back, it was reported that Casey had no reaction and returned to her cell silently.

To me, without the “remains” in the bag being verified, her reaction was a tell-tale sign that she apparently knew it wasn’t Caylee.

Then, when this body was found, it was reported that she was so upset she had to be sedated. Again before anything has been verified.

I believe that her “jump of the gun” reaction, is a validation, that this body is indeed Caylee Anthony. Sad but true.

Helen   December 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

I'm not surprised the Anthony's continue to deflect this horrific finding away from their daughter. This act is incomprehensible to most people and they cannot come to terms with such a horrific act committed by their own daughter. The evidence will speak for itself as you cannot discount the strong evidence compiled todate by the state.

This latest defense strategy, about the current Zenaida not being the Zenaida Casey has been referring to is just another ploy. The state could produce all the Zenaida's in the Country and Casey will deny knowing any of them because the only Zenaida that would be capable of this horrendous act is in the imagination of Casey.

The crime scene where the remains were located, Casey 's residence and her car are all directly connected to Casey and to suggest a Zenaida planted all this evidence in all these locations is pretty far fetched.

Geraldene York   December 16th, 2008 9:28 pm ET

Why did Lee not want to give his DNA? Could it be he is the father? No one seems to really know who the father is and she seemed to be named for Casey and Lee. Caylee is a mix of the two names and Casey kept saying she is our baby Lee and Mom and Dad's. This may sound far out but this does happen in families and Lee does act strange.

Ellen Dee   December 17th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Now Casey is crying, for herself! She got caught and she's going to pay the price. The only price that would be nearly fair, would be for her to suffer the way that poor little girl did. My heart goes out to the Anthonys.
They wanted so, to believe her. Now Casey has nothing to look forward to.....nothing! And that gives me, not much, but, some peace. She's the devil!!...and she will be in his company very soon!

Angel inATL   December 17th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

Wake up George and Cindy Anthony!! There is and NEVER was a Nanny or Babysitter!! All of the transcripts from Casey's friends proves this point. There is absolutly no evidence that shows Caylee was being watched by a Nanny during the weeks she was out partying with her friends.
It is time the grandparents tell the truth about what they know!!

barbara   December 17th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

I SOMETIMES WONDER ABOUT THAT MAN THAT SAID HE MIGHT OF SEEN WITH THE STRAW HAT ON CARRYING A BAG NEAR SOME TRACKS. AND A MAN STANDING OUT THERE AS A LOOK OUT PERSON..? HOW CLOSE WAS THAT AREA TO WHERE THEY THINK THEY FOUND CAYLEE...OH, AND GEORGE AND CINDY ARE SAYING THE BABYSITTER DID IT? THERE IS NO DAMN BABYSITTER. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING THEY EVEN ADMITTED IN THE PAST THAT THEY DONT KNOW OF A ZEINIDA GONZALES........MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE WANTED TO WHOS WATHCING HER 10 GRANDCHILDREN FOR 2 YRS .........ANDYWAY MY HEART IS SICKENED TO THIS DERANGED FAMILY...AND ESPECIALLY CASEY ANTHONY.... AND WHO IS THE REAL FATHER OF CAYLEE ANTHONY DID THEY REALLY INVESTIGATE THAT MATTER THAT HE DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHEN CAYLEE WAS 1 OR SO.... THATS BS TOO...............AND CAYLEE HAS TO HAVE OTHER SIBLINGS BESIDES CINDY, GEORGE, AND LEE WHAT ABOUT HIS SIDE OF THE FAMILY DO THEY HAVE NO SAY IN IT?????OR ARE THEY IN DENIAL TOO......... THANKS FOR READING BARB FROM PENNSYLVANIA

Christine   December 17th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I cannot believe that the entire Anthony family has managed to insult the intelligence of so many people for so long. There is NO DOUBT that Casey is deranged and if you have ever looked into her mother's eyes, you can see she is not all there either. Her out -of- touch-with reality attitude only solidifies that opinion.
Seriously, her parents are very well aware that Caylee is dead as they helped Casee destroy as much evidence as possible and intentionally gave false information to authorities. HMMM, wonder who Casee learned that from? Having been around the block a time or two myself, I know that the only time you need to ask for immunity is when you have SOMETHING TO HIDE!
If you ask me, the whole clan needs to go to the slammer.
My father would have kicked her A– and asked questions later!
Seriously, parents KNOW what their kids are capable of when it comes down to it. Being a former police investigator, he should know when he is being patronized!

bettys   December 17th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

The utility worker walked off the walk into the woods to relieve himself, only natural, the fact the water had drained the area, as it had been flooded, no searchs there, he found the bag, with the skull, called his supervisor, who in turn call 911. The correct thing to do.

suzan   December 17th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

aloha- to me as a auant for the 7th timei never do this kind of bad thing to my nicies or nephues at all when i baby sit them.2- yes i bleave is trying to tell something to her parents when happending to case daughter the day that caylee went to the baby sitter that casey did drop her dauther caylee off the baby sitter. 3- casey is now blaming on her babysitter.4- the jail house interview of casey was talking to her parents her parents is trying hard to have their daughter to talk what happending to their grand daughter. and the more casey parents keep on presering their daughter the more casey will tell the truth to what did really happending to caylee. so this is good thin for casey parents to keep on presering their daughter casey. i wish all parents would do that presere their kids in telling the truth.i hope that casey have learn this lesson and i hope that all parents nation wide will learn this lesson when comes to kids. if parents do not like kids at all then do not have kids and use their kids as a wepon. and yes parents will be punish too if they do something stupid and dumb like this. wake up parents there are people watching you how you treat you kids at home and out in public.yes i'm one of those are watching you parents how you treat your kids out in public and at home. stop yelling at your kids. stop letting your kids have their way. stop letting your kids nag at you all the time i wnat this and i do not like this at all and stop having your kids scream and yell out in public and at home. and stop letting your kids when you take your kids to fat food restaurant be standing on the seats w/ their shoes on that is durity that is jerms for kids to be standing on the seats w/ their shoes on.stop leting your teenagers and younger kids fib when your kids get caught when your kids break the law and be pick up by the police and have to face the judge and the districat attorney in court. better wake up parents i and other people is watching you how you treat your kids at home and out in public. as for your baby when your baby is crying during lunch time that is telling you that your baby needs a afternoon nap. and finally of all parents do not tell us and the police and the judge and the districat attorney not to tell you what to do on how to take care of your kids when we see bad things you as a parents did to your kids.grow up parents becase this is happending to casey atttorney and she is fibing to her parents and to her lawyer and to this judge and to the police and to the districat attorney and to the media and everybody in this coutry and casey will to this jury too.

Cheryl in Canada   December 17th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Well, Ive been around enough BS'ers to know that there's always a thread of truth to everything they say. Casey's been saying all along that she 'believes her child was close to home'....come on people....1st clue. Then she had said on other occasions....'shes with Zani at the beach'....did any of the authorities ever check out the local beaches at the time? Anyhow, Im so glad those remains were found....and I truly hope that they are Caylee's so that the little angel can finally be put to rest. Rot in prison Casey.

Kim   December 17th, 2008 10:08 pm ET

The defense has already requested a second autopsy. It seems they know something they have not released to the media. If this is little Caylee may you Rest in Peace little one.

sadie   December 18th, 2008 12:36 am ET

It has to be america's Caylee the little girl we have all grown to love. we prayed for her safety we all hoped her grand parents could have a change of heart and demand the truth from that woman ,Casy is a self obsorbed BRAT,I pray for justice for little Caylee" God forgive her mother ",she doesn't deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sadie   December 18th, 2008 12:51 am ET

PLEASE MAKE CASY PAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REST IN PEASE SWEET LITTLE CAYLEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED!!!

Willie mae   December 18th, 2008 1:20 am ET

I believe that Casey did it, however I also believe that the grandparents helped her. and they were trying to protect her. I am curious about the man who found the body, why did he feel he had to pick up the bag, I think he should be looked at closely, if no one else was there with him, thats sort of funny. Yes relieve yourself, pee, but why pick up a trash bag. Caylee blood cried out and I thank God if this is her he brought it out.

The truth will further come out I believe.

Earl   December 18th, 2008 2:31 am ET

Is Casey really a bad person? Could it be that Casey is in gross darkness being driven by demonic influence? Thousand of young people are in the stage of doing the same as Casey because of the moral that is set up in our country. Abortion is on the rampage death and murder on every hand. Yes sin is going to be judge because of the world has refused the light that came into the world. And as ye judge so shall ye be judged.

Earl   December 18th, 2008 2:46 am ET

OH that God would grant unto Casey a broken and contrite spirit !
Oh that salvation would come to the temple that Casey dwell in!
Oh that Peace would come to the Home of the Anthony Family this Christmas!
Father I pray that mercy and grace come to the Anthony Family and Love be made manifested in the (Hearts) of all those that stand in the seat of judgment! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

God bless all in the light of his love,

In the name (nature) Jesus

Earl   December 18th, 2008 4:19 am ET

Such were some of you and I , but we have been wash cleanse by the blood of the Lamb!

They know about God, but they don't honor him or even thank him. Their thoughts are useless, and their stupid minds are in the dark.
They claim to be wise, but they are fools.
They don't worship the glorious and eternal God. Instead, they worship idols that are made to look like humans who cannot live forever, and like birds, animals, and reptiles.
So God let these people go their own way. They did what they wanted to do, and their filthy thoughts made them do shameful things with their bodies.
They gave up the truth about God for a lie, and they worshiped God's creation instead of God, who will be praised forever. Amen.
God let them follow their own evil desires. Women no longer wanted to have sex in a natural way, and they did things with each other that were not natural.
Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to have sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men. They did shameful things with each other, and what has happened to them is punishment for their foolish deeds.
Since these people refused even to think about God, he let their useless minds rule over them. That's why they do all sorts of indecent things.
They are evil, wicked, and greedy, as well as mean in every possible way. They want what others have, and they murder, argue, cheat, and are hard to get along with. They gossip,
say cruel things about others, and hate God. They are proud, conceited, and boastful, always thinking up new ways to do evil. These people don't respect their parents.
They are stupid, unreliable, and don't have any love or pity for others.
They know God has said that anyone who acts this way deserves to die. But they keep on doing evil things, and they even encourage others to do them.

Heather   December 18th, 2008 4:54 am ET

I am blown away at the thought of a mother killing her child. I too cannot understand how these grandparents didn't even really miss Caylee. If I were a grandmother I would be a very active part of my grand baby's every day life. How can you duct tape a childs mouth shut and beat her to death??????How can you live with that image in your mind??? What the heck is wrong with these people???Out partying and living her life like nothing happened and sitting behind bars crying for herself.....(NOBODY CARES ABOUT ME? IT"S ALL ABOUT CAYLEE) Screw this crazy hussy!!! I hope she suffers 100 times more than that little baby did. I am so sorry! I just can't talk about it without becoming overwhelmingly emotional. Please forgive me.

Susanne   December 18th, 2008 7:57 am ET

Connie Talbot's version of " I will always love you" is a beautiful version. You cannot look at Caylee's picture and listen to Connie sing this song without crying. I believe this song by Connie should be dedicated to all parents that have cut their children's life short, either after conception or after birth. Each and every parent, mother and father will answer for their deed. To every single child that will not see tomorrow for they did not see today, I dedicate Connie's version of "I will always love you" to your parents. To the parints, how much will you sacrifice if you do not kneel and pray to ask our god above to forgive you for your ways? Don't be to judgmental if you indeed have done the same.

blamegame, TXOIL   December 18th, 2008 8:54 am ET

How can someone unemployed afford a Nanny. I have a good paying job but I am trying to count my pennies to see if I can afford a baby sitter or nanny.

How could she not call 911 immediately when her little baby went missing? Casey went about her normal routine. I have a 21 month old, I am not able to sleep at night when he spends the night with relatives or when I have to travel for my job....if he ever went missing GOD forbid, I think hospitalization and strong meds would be required for me to function. Not girl on girl action in a club or a tatoo.

Casey harmed her child, excuses should not be made for her. Society is judging her by her appearance, Casey don't look like a monster or child killer but there are wolves in sheeps clothing.

She should have left the child with the grandparents if she was having evil thoughts but her thought were probably not rational. GOD help Baby Caylee. I pray that she is with GOD and has no memory of what happened to her on this earth. Amen.

Herbie   December 18th, 2008 9:16 am ET

I think that George, Cindy, and Casey involved in murdering a beautiful child Caylee Anthony! I saw in the picture of Casey celebrated in the party acting like she is not mother yet!! Casey dumped Caylee in the woods!! Right now, Caylee dumped Casey into jail and let her ROT! George and Cindy Anthony should go to jail not telling the truth what they know their evil daughter done to Caylee! The Anthony's house is now haunted house!

Beverli   December 18th, 2008 11:29 am ET

Peace and Eternal Love to you, Caylee. I know God holds you in his arms and you are resting peacefully.

tt   December 18th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

The meter person needed to use the bathroom, and like a lot of men do he went into the woods.

Not really a big deal. It happens with people that have jobs where they are in their vehicles all day.

Ryan   December 18th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Perhaps I missed this small detail. But who is the father of this child? Why hasn't there been any media coverage on him? I would think that the police had to have questioned him to see if he knew something...

LeaAnn   December 18th, 2008 10:49 pm ET

I have a had a daughter murder in 2003. and in my gut I feel that the remains found in the bag are of lil Caylee. And I also feel that Casey is the 1 that killed her considering the facts of the odor and everything with the car. She deserves to rot in jail for what she did.

Earl   December 19th, 2008 1:52 am ET

You will be faithful and have a clear conscience. Some people have made a mess of their faith because they didn't listen to their consciences

Trinity   December 19th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

I changed my mind...it would be better for Casey to sit in jail for the rest of her life and have nothing to do but feel regret for what she has done. Casey, you never deserved a blessing like Caylee. Sweet little Caylee, my heart to you, and I hope you know that you did nothing wrong. I am sick with contempt for this p.o.s. liar of a woman

joy   December 30th, 2008 10:04 am ET

As much as I did not want that body to be that of baby caylee, I am just glad that now that she will recieve a proper burial and bring closure to not only the family but to those of us who prayed everyday for her safety.

I do think that the grandparents had to have suspected or even known something had happened prior to casey reporting caylee missing. Simply because if my daughter was staying with me and I did not see my grand daughter around I would definately suspect something. How can such grandparents, who have multiple home videos and obviously had a close relationship not notice thier only granddaughter not around, not even sleeping in her own bed?? What is to say the grandparents had nothing to do with it? It was thier computer all those chloraform searches were done on, wasn't it?
I think they should do a lot of hot lamp interrogations on them, because they must have noticed. The only way they could have missed it is if they are dumb and blind!!

All of them need to come clean, not only casey!! Others knew something was array but did not say anything, and now with the spotlight on them maybe things will come to light. Like caseys ex saying that she was jelous of her own daughter.

Elizabeth Mipps   January 19th, 2009 2:17 pm ET

This is just such a shock. For anybody to have the mind, or lack of heart to do such a thing is absolutely selfish. The good Lord loves all of his children, and deeply and harshly punishes those who harm them. It is however, not surprising that things ended up as they did. Satan is a powerful entity, and when he grasps you heart, and soul it is very hard, sometimes impossible to get out of that grasp. He will make you do very bad things to good people. It is a real shame.
I believe, deep in my heart that Casey will pay eternally for her sins. God certainly would not allow such actions to go unpunished. A prison term is only the beginning of her eternal demise. For it is said that whomever takes a life in vain shall never again see the light of life. They will be forced to endure an eternity without dignity, and suffer only pain which is well deserved.
As for the grandparents, yes I agree that they knew at least to some extent what was going on. Yes, they should have seen the light, and smelled the roses, and realized that their daughter needed help, long before she killed her daughter. But the fact remains that although they know now completely what is going on, they still refuse to see their daughter for who and what she really is. Help is beyond Casey's reach now, and she is aware of it. Now only God can decide her fate. May we pray that she gets what she deserves. Have no doubt that she will learn. It will just be in a way that she will not expect, nor enjoy. Eternal Damnation. It is sad, but true.
Rest assured also that baby Caylee is at peace. God did not, nor will he ever abandon her or any child out there. All children are among His elect, and he would never let them astray without having a place for them to go. Weather it be in this life, or the next, all of they who cast hateful sin upon others shall pay the ultimate penalty.
DEATH.

Betty R. C. B.   January 19th, 2009 2:29 pm ET

Goodness gracious! How absolutely devastating! I can not even imagine what got into that woman! I just gave birth last month to a baby girl, and she is the wonder of my dreams! It just goes to show that even seemingly good folks can go bad. She must have been pretty messed up from the beginning! I , personally would not give her a chance to think about what she has done. This is not something that you put someone in a corner for, it is something that requires immediate action! Give her a taste of her own medicine, that's what I say!

kman67   January 19th, 2009 2:34 pm ET

Wow. This story bows my mind. I have a 4 year old daughter, and a son on the way. My ex wife is in jail on a life term sentence, and I have sole custody over my children, so my son comes straight to me. I would not be able to live with myself if I had done something like this. I do everything in my power to make sure my kids are safe, healthy, and happy. I pray God have no mercy on her wretched soul!

L.A.   January 19th, 2009 11:28 pm ET

HANG EM HIGH . THAT WHOLE DAM FAMILY. REST IN PEASE CAYLEE.

Sheryl   January 25th, 2009 12:04 pm ET

Lilttle baby caylee,
Rest in peace with the Lord. He will take good care of you and you will never be harmed again. I fell in love with you the first time I saw your little picture. I wish your mother could have called me I would have baby sat with you and taken good care of you. I would even have adopted you, if your mom would let me. I would have driven to Florida to pick you up. May God keep you warm and safe.

RODNEY EASON   April 22nd, 2009 10:20 pm ET

if she had help has the deputy who was fired for lying about dating calie (tot mom) ever been questioned? is he the one they are afraid of. or does everyone have tunnel vision. nancy do your stuff on this one thank you! rodney from mulberry florida

GARY   April 27th, 2009 11:07 pm ET
