ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Internet searches for how to make chloroform and neck-breaking were done on a computer that a Florida mother accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter had access to, an expert who analyzed the machine testified Wednesday at the mother's trial.

The queries were done several weeks before Caylee Anthony was last seen, though the expert could not say exactly who performed the searches.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the girl's death and prosecutors say she used duct tape to suffocate her daughter in the summer of 2008. The child's remains were found about six months later.

Anthony's defense attorney says the toddler accidently drowned in her grandparents' swimming pool.

John Dennis Bradley, a former Canadian law enforcement officer who now develops software for computer investigations, analyzed a data file from a desktop seized from the home of George and Cindy Anthony, where Casey lived sometimes.

Bradley said he was able to use a program to recover deleted searches from March 17 and March 21, 2008. On March 21, someone searched the website Sci-spot.com for "chloroform" 84 times, he said.
