December 17, 2008 Casey Anthony's neighborhoodPosted: 12:04 PM ET
ORLANDO, Florida–It’s been a week since the skeletal remains of a young child were discovered in a bag just feet off a dead-end road in Casey Anthony’s neighborhood. At any given time, 20 to 30 investigators work from dawn to dusk, sifting through a half-acre of dirt and brush. Much of the wooded area has now been methodically cleared of the brush and other growth. ![]() The public has to observe from about 100 yards away. Crime scene tape stretches across the street and marks the boundary for curious onlookers. There’s not much to see from that distance because a crime scene truck and other police vehicles obstruct the view. In the distance are two tents over the area where the bag and remains were found. The critical work has occurred under those tents. At a tree where the crime scene marks the forbidden zone, visitors have begun to leave flowers, balloons, dolls and teddy bears in Caylee’s memory. While an identification of the remains has not been released, those leaving these gifts are clearly convinced that the wooded area just down the road is where she lay for most, if not all, of the six months she’s been missing. Casey Anthony’s parents’ home is a short walk from the crime scene. The house continues to display posters for the missing child at least as long as no positive identification has been made. Reports are that the Anthonys are preparing for the worst news—that their granddaughter may, indeed, be dead. According to the jail visitor’s log, the Anthonys have not visited their daughter, Casey, in the Orange County jail since she was arrested on murder charges in mid-October. Casey has received two visits from her pastor since then. A jail spokesman says Casey is a model prisoner. She is in protective custody as is the custom with high-profile inmates. Astronaut Lisa Nowak was in the same jail under similar conditions. –Beth Karas, In Session correspondent Filed under: Casey and Caylee Anthony |
