Investigators May Close Crime Scene . . . . and Updates
| |||
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Orange County Sheriff's Office is expected to wrap up their investigation at a crime site where the remains of a child were found last Thursday. | |||
A utility worker discovered a bag that contained a human skull with duct tape around it and called authorities. The location where the remains were found are less than a quarter of a mile away from the home of George and Cindy Anthony. Once they have completed their investigation of the site, the defense team representing 22-year-old Casey Anthony will be granted access to the area so they can complete their own investigation. The FBI Lab in Quantico, Va. is conducting tests on the remains found and it may be several more days before those results are available. In an emergency motion hearing Tuesday, a member of the prosecution alluded that the remains found were those of a little girl, but she would not go as far to say that they belonged to missing toddler Caylee Marie Anthony. Caylee's mother, Casey, remains in protective custody at the Orange County Jail awaiting her murder trial in March. On Tuesday, she was officially removed from psychological observation and was visited by her pastor from Eastside Baptist Church. The pastor, Thomas Shane Stutzman, is the only pastor permitted to visit Casey and can only do so once a month in an in-jail official visit which is not recorded. Though Casey is no longer under psychological observation, she will still be observed by corrections staff and is routinely reviewed by the jail's health services personnel, according to a jail official. http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=8091139&version=3&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1 |

Investigators will probably remain at at crime scene until Thursday afternoon
12:32 p.m.
Investigators will probably remain at the crime scene where a child's remains were found until Thursday afternoon, Orange County Sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves just said during a noon news conference. The body is thought to be of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, though an official identification has not been made. The body was found Dec. 11. He said authorities are still pulling brush out of the area, which is about a quarter mile from the Anthony house, and they are finding "additional items."
He wouldn't identify those items.
"We continue to sift through the location," he said, adding it has grown to more than half an acre.
Various experts for the state are being flown in to examine the scene.
An anthropologist was out there this morning, and an entomologist from Illinois was there earlier.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators said it could be until at least Thursday afternoon before crews clear the scene where a child's remains were found a week ago.
The crime scene was expanded from a half-acre to an acre. Experts from the FBI and other agencies were using different size sifters to check every bucket full of dirt in the area to recover even the smallest of bone fragments.

MESSAGE BOARD: Has Caylee Been Found?
Investigators brought in other experts, an anthropologist (bone expert), entomologist (bug expert) and a botanist (brush and foliage expert) to help identify evidence and put the story of what happened and when together. They're also helping determine what happened to the child's body before it was dumped there.
There was no word from investigators on exactly when the DNA tests would be completed to identify the remains. It has been seven days and investigators said it would take between seven and 14 days.

Deputies Say "Significant Skeletal Remains" Found At Search Site 12/18/2008
Deputies Say "Significant Skeletal Remains" Found At Search Site
Thursday, December 18, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Orange County deputies said Thursday that "significant skeletal remains" were found Thursday afternoon and that the first tips about the area came in as early as August.
A late Thursday afternoon media briefing from the Orange County Sheriff's Office revealed new details in the search for more evidence after a child's remains were found less than a half-mile from the Anthony home.
Capt. Angelo Nieves said the search was expanded after "significant skeletal remains" were located Thursday afternoon. He said the newly found remains are consistent with the remains of a young child. Nieves said the area is not going to be released until possibly as late as Saturday.
Nieves also said the utility worker, who led them to the remains after finding a child's skull a week ago, had called dispatchers three times in August about the possibility he's found something in that area, on August 11, 12, and 13. Nieves said at least one deputy was sent to the scene and investigators are now talking to that deputy, talking to dispatchers who took the calls and interviewing the utility worker. Nieves said the man likely came back to the scene last Thursday because it has been nagging him.
As investigators worked on their eighth day looking for clues they believe will solve Caylee's murder, her mother, Casey, is awaiting the jail delivery of her order for snacks, playing cards and sketch art supplies.
Some of the most experienced investigators from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the FBI, along with bug, bone and botany experts are sifting through the dirt by hand looking for clues that could lead them to a killer.
Even Casey Anthony's defense team admits the remains found are probably Caylee's, but now there's a big about-face by the defense.After fighting to gain access to the crime scene, making claims that the goal was to preserve evidence, the defense now says it has no need for it any longer.
Nationally-known forensics expert and author Dr. Henry Lee was with the defense team as they tried to barge onto the scene over the weekend, even after a judge told them they had no right to interfere with the criminal investigation.
Eyewitness News has learned Dr. Lee, according to a Court TV report last year, was accused by a Los Angeles judge of hiding or destroying evidence in the murder case against music producer Phil Spector. The evidence could have been the fake fingernail of the alleged murder victim, which could have proven that she did not commit suicide.
Spector's trial ended in a hung jury.
Lee worked with Spector's defense team attorney Linda Kenney-Baden, who is also now on Casey's defense team.
