The Florida State's Attorney office filed formal criminal charges Tuesday against the mother of missing Orlando toddler Caylee Anthony, FOX News has learned.
Casey Marie Anthony, 22, was charged with one felony and one misdemeanor offense, in addition to the child neglect charge she already faced. She will be arraigned on the criminal charges.
Also Tuesday, test results from DNA samples taken from a car driven by Anthony came in and were turned over to investigators, FOX News has learned.
The evidence was gathered from the trunk of a vehicle that Anthony was using when her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony vanished in mid-June.
Other DNA samples were taken from the backyard of Anthony's parents' house, where she lived with her little daughter until about the time the girl disappeared. It took Casey Anthony more than a month to report the child missing, which she did on July 15. Caylee was last seen on or around June 15.
Detectives reported smelling a strong odor of human decomposition in the car trunk after cadaver dogs led them there. They said they also found hair samples similar to those of Caylee Marie Anthony.
Casey's mother Cindy Anthony, the child's grandmother, said the trunk in question smelled like a dead body when she called 911 to report her granddaughter missing. She also asked emergency dispatchers that her daughter be taken into custody.

"Caylee's mom has promised that her little girl would be home by her birthday on Aug. 9."
In a box?
How would she know that?
The two charges have to do with impeding an investigation and lying to the officers ... if they found human dna in the trunk and it matched she would have been charged with murder ... this one just took a turn but no bodies yet...
Finally, someone who is willing to play hardball.
This evil bitch needs to die....
She is still telling her ridiculous lies-said she had written a letter and given it to her lawyer stating things about daughter etc and of course lawyer never got such letter-either. Gma cancelled visit to jail so something in the wind and I assume they have told family DNA results points to dead body. The whole bunch should face charges because I feel family has known Caylee is dead and all of this is their attempt at protecting scumball daughter. What a waste of resources-money and time because of her.
Thanks for the heads up. Shep is talking about it now on Fox (Shep creeps me out, he looks like an angry squirrel).
Like someone up thread said, they must not have got anything off the DNA or it would be murder charges. Disappointing.
Cindy on Fox right now...sorta.
This is a weird case. They didn’t report the little girl missing for a month? It strains believability that any decent parent would have a missing child and not promptly report it. This case is fishy. Let’s not jump to conclusions, but, some things don’t add up. My guess also is that the little girl is dead, and the family is trying to cover things up.
Shep used to be on our local news Panama City NBC affiliate before he got the big break from FOX................

Family of missing Caylee Marie Anthony seeking personal assistants
Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writer
1:50 PM EDT, August 5, 2008
Casey Anthony’s family is asking the public again for help — but this time to volunteer as personal assistants to the family.
The two un-paid positions, one person to help Lee Anthony and another to assist George Anthony, are being advertised by the family via their MySpace pages.
Volunteers must be available 24-hours a day, seven days a week and in some cases must be willing to travel.

This stupid grandma is delusional.
What a freaking dope.
He does look like a angry squirrel:).This Grandmom doesn’t make sense.
Legal slavery????
Agreed that she is dead-I base that on no one knows the phantom baby sitter and all of the lies altho I think was an accident or neglect-leaving in a car and it heated up however in this day and age of media someone somewhere would have seen her since her picture has been on the news since story broke. I think the reason it is a wierd story is the family is so incredibly disfunctional and such enablers that regular folks can’t understand it.
What a strange family, nuts.
The Grandmother is admitting she knows something.
This is a jack-of-all-trades position that may be cross utilized in all aspects of the search for Caylee as well as any personal need of the Anthony family, as directed by Lee Anthony," according to the ad.
Completely insane.
She needs to up her dosage for sure.
It is completely insane, but I have no doubt that some idiot girls will apply. Lee is sort of hot (for a moron) and dumb people will apply just to get close to him. OJ has had no shortage of dates either.
