Obviously prosecutors know more than what has been released to the public, as they’ve filed paperwork seeking the death penalty in the trial of Casey Anthony, accused of murdering her daughter, Caylee.

Just when you think the case of Casey and Caylee Anthony cannot get any stranger or tragic, Casey Anthony’s father was found in a hotel room today after being reported missing by the family. Apparently the loss of his grandchild has proven to be too much. I always thought there had to be more to the family’s guilt and suffering behind closed doors than what they lead the public to believe.

One has to wonder, would it be easier for them to simply come to terms with their daughter’s guilt than continuing to live in denial, perpetuating and entertaining the lies of a sociopath.

MT’s advice?…the truth will set you free.

The grandfather of murdered Orlando girl Caylee Anthony is being evaluated at a hospital after he was reported missing and sent messages to his family that he wanted to end his life.

George Anthony was found early Friday morning at a motel in Volusia County, Fla., with a suicide note after disappearing a day earlier. Family attorney Brad Conway said in a 911 call released Friday that Anthony left home with several bottles of medication and some photographs.

“We’re worried that he’s done something to himself,” Conway told the dispatcher.

Authorities have released that a heart shaped sticker was found near the body of Caylee Anthony, and it appears to have been originally placed on the duct tape found around her skull.

Investigators have announced that more human remains have been found near the home of missing toddler, Caylee Anthony.

Caylee was 2 years old when she went missing in June. She and her mother shared a house with her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, less than a quarter mile from where the bones were found.

Detectives did not give details about the bones found over the weekend but continued to sift through dirt in a wooded area, The Orlando Sentinel reported.

An Orange County water-meter reader found the skull and other remains in a black plastic bag on Nov.11, the first major break in the case in months.

A searcher who has found human remains says that the body is likely missing girl Caylee Anthony.

Tim Miller, the founder and director of EquuSearch, said the remains “appear to be Caylee, but with any case, we have to wait until a positive ID is made.”

“It looks like finally it’s over with,” Miller said.

Orange County deputies said a meter reader found the remains of a young child this morning in the area of S. Chickasaw Trail and Suburban Drive — less than 1/4 mile from the Anthonys’ home on Hopespring Drive. Spokesman Jim Solomons of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said the remains were found in a bag.

Casey Anthony, who was indicted for the murder of her daughter, Caylee — whose body was never found — pleaded not guilty to the crime.

Casey Anthony, 22, didn’t attend her 8:45 a.m. ET arraignment hearing in Orange County, Fla., but a written not guilty plea was entered beforehand. She remains jailed without bond.

Her trial is scheduled to start Jan. 5; a pretrial conference will be held Dec. 11, according to the judge in the case, Stan Strickland.

In addition to first-degree murder, Anthony is charged with aggravated manslaughter, aggravated child abuse and four counts of lying to investigators.

Bad news for Casey Anthony — a grand jury indicted her today in the murder of her daughter, Caylee, along with other charges.

A grand jury indicted Casey Anthony on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, State Attorney Lawson Lamar said. The mother is being held without bond.

If convicted of first-degree murder she could face the death penalty or life in prison. Prosecutors said no decision has been made on whether the death penalty will be sought.

Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said investigators’ satisfaction that the indictment had been issued was tempered by what it concludes about the girl’s fate.

“Speaking as a father, a day doesn’t pass where I wish the evidence that we have gathered didn’t add up to the painfully obvious,” he said. “Sadly, I cannot change the facts surrounding the investigation.”

The defense lawyers for Casey Anthony — mother of missing girl Caylee Anthony — have been granted the ability to physically review key evidence.

Ninth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland disagreed Friday with an argument by Orange County prosecutors that the evidence did not pertain to the child neglect charges that Casey Anthony faces in the disappearance of her toddler daughter.

Strickland allowed motions that the defense be given access to forensic tests involving chloroform, DNA air samples and hair strands within 10 days. He denied access to evidence collected by cadaver dogs.

Defense attorney Jose Baez had sought the car and other items available so he can conduct his own tests.

Awww, looks like Casey Anthony is screwed. A Grand Jury is convening next week which may bring down charges of murder or manslaughter. Perhaps little Caylee Anthony may see some justice served yet.

ORLANDO, FLA. — Casey Anthony could soon face a homicide charge in connection with the disappearance of her daughter, according to broadcast reports in Orlando.

The state attorney’s office plans to present its case next to a grand jury next week, according to the reports from Orlando TV station Local 6. From there, it will be the job of the grand jury to determine if the evidence is strong enough to warrant prosecution.

The reports indicate that it is not known if the state will seek murder or manslaughter charges.

Is the third time a charm? The family of missing girl Caylee Anthony hope so.

The mother of a missing Central Florida toddler was taken into custody for the third time Monday.

Casey Anthony was visiting her home confinement officer at the Orange County jail when sheriff’s deputies re-arrested her on new check fraud charges. A hearing on the new charges is scheduled for Tuesday.

Casey reported her three-year-old daughter Caylee missing in mid-July, though police say Caylee had been missing since mid-June. Casey was first arrested shortly after reporting her daughter missing. A bail bondsman from California provided bail, but Casey was re-arrested on theft and fraud charges unrelated to Caylee’s disappearance.

Looks like the Orlando police are trying to find any excuse to put Casey Anthony back in jail, and who can blame them?

A handgun was removed from the trunk of missing Florida toddler Caylee Anthony’s grandfather’s car, MyFOXOrlando.com reported.

Acting on a tip, police took the gun late Friday night from George Anthony’s car — parked in his driveway — and brought it to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

It was not immediately clear what the significance the find will mean — if any — in the missing 3-year-old’s case.

New lab results show that not only were human remains in Casey Anthony’s trunk, but there were also traces of chloroform.

Casey Anthony’s computer, confiscated within hours of her arrest in July on charges of child neglect, making false official statements and obstruction of justice, also showed visits to Web sites with information about chloroform.

The discovery of chloroform, a chemical compound that can be used to incapacitate crime victims, is a piece of evidence prosecutors will use in building the case of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony.

Florida authorities had given Casey Anthony until 9:00 a.m. this morning to cooperate with them regarding the disappearance of her daughter Caylee in exchange for limited immunity, but Casey declined the offer.

Padilla said the focus is still on finding Caylee — alive or dead — a discovery that would significantly aid in the investigation.

“Obviously that would clear up a lot of questions that we have,” Padilla told FOXNews.com.

He declined to comment on which of the various theories, if any, had become the most prominent in the investigation. Detectives have been trying to determine whether Caylee died accidentally, was killed or was kidnapped, as her mother has claimed. Police have expressed serious doubts about the abduction story.

“The key is with the mother, with Casey,” Padilla said. “If there is a cover-up, it would be her — if there is. Right now she continues to not provide any information that is helpful to us.”

Florida investigators are saying that they have found proof that human remains were at some point in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car. For those living under a rock the last couple month’s, Casey’s daughter Caylee went missing at the beginning of June, and Anthony did not report the missing girl for over a month.

Investigators have found chemical evidence of human decomposition in the trunk of the car connected to Florida mother Casey Anthony, a law enforcement source said Wednesday.

A spokesman for the University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropology Facility, also known as the Body Farm, said investigators were testing the air found in the trunk of the car for chemical compounds only found in cadavers.

At the time, the spokesman said, “we would not have performed these tests if we didn’t think there was something there.”

Florida police have brought in 3 cadaver dogs to help in the search for missing Orlando girl Caylee Anthony.

A sheriff’s investigator, Sergeant John Allen, said Friday that authorities don’t rule out the possibility that Caylee Marie Anthony is still alive.

Deputies say the girl’s 22-year-old mother, Casey Marie Anthony, was arrested Wednesday on charges of child neglect and criminal obstruction. They say the woman told investigators she had dropped off her daughter at a baby sitter last month but hadn’t seen her since. The woman didn’t contact police until this week, officials say, once relatives became concerned.
