Remains could be missing toddler Caylee Anthony
DECEMBER 12, 2008 - An Orange County utility worker made a gruesome discovery Thursday morning when he discovered remains in a plastic bag. Sheriff Kevin Beary confirmed the bones belong to a child, but could not verify if they are the remains of missing Orlando toddler Caylee Marie Anthony.
The medical examiner's office collected the remains and Sheriff Beary said they would be a top priority for the forensic investigators at the FBI.
The location of the remains is less than one-quarter mile from where Caylee lived with her mother, Casey Anthony, and her grandparents. The two-year-old disappeared about five months ago and her mother Casey Anthony claimed she was taken by a babysitter.
Anthony, 22, was indicted in October for first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, four counts of providing false information to law enforcement and check fraud charges.
Anthony, her parents George and Cindy Anthony; and her defense attorney, José Baez, have insisted that Caylee is alive.
