Sources: Casey's Parents May Eventually Face Charges

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Sources close to the case told Eyewitness News
that Casey's parents, George and Cindy, may someday face criminal charges.
Sources tipped Eyewitness News off that George and Cindy Anthony checked
into the luxury Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, Eyewitness News has learned the sheriff's office is looking into
charging the Anthonys with obstruction of justice.

Rooms go for about $300 a night at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and sources say
they Anthonys had dinner at Normans on Thursday night, where dinner
could cost $100 a person. The Anthonys recently hired attorney Brad
Conway to replace Mark NeJame.

Conway could not tell Eyewitness News who is paying for the room, but
said the Anthonys needed peace and quiet.

"They want to be left alone. They want to grieve and go through the process
without the publicity that's been focused on them so long," Conway said.

The Anthonys have spent months insisting Caylee is alive, but with the news
of the remains Conway said they are prepared to accept Caylee may be
dead.

"They are realistic about the possibilities and about the fact that this is
likely Caylee, but continue to pray that likely it's not," Conway said.

In the meantime, sources told Eyewitness News investigators are building
a case against the Anthonys. They may face obstructions of justice charges.

Conway said he's talked to the State Attorney's Office and is not aware
of any pending charges and maintains the Anthonys have done nothing wrong.

"Anytime the sheriff's office cordons your house and serves a search warrant, there
are a potential for charges. I don't know what the sheriff's office has in mind,
but the Anthonys have cooperated fully and will continue to cooperate," Conway said.
