Lake Search Planned in Case of Missing Florida Tot
Fox News ^ | 8/7/08 | Fox News

Posted on 08/07/2008 3:08:45 PM PDT by nmh

...

Diving crews from the department planned to launch a search Friday of one of lakes near the Anthony residence, according to MyFOXOrlando.com. Police said the searches are routine training exercises and happen monthly.

...

Detectives left the Anthony residence with a new bag of evidence that may help with the search for the missing toddler. ...

They took away at least four bags of evidence. MyFOXOrlando.com reported that the latest, four-hour search yielded at least eight bags.

Thursday's visit is at least the fifth time they have been at the home. The Orange County Sheriff's Office called Wednesday's visit "routine" and said the girl — who turns 3 on Saturday — has not been found.

...

Meanwhile, a lawyer for Jesus Ortiz, a man who may be the late father of the missing child, told FOX News that Casey Anthony and Ortiz went to high school together, and that the young man's family is shocked by the news that their son may be the father. Ortiz died in a car accident about a year ago.

(NO WAY - it's a distraction. No resemblance at all!)

"The family has never heard of her," the lawyer, Bryan Crews said, adding, "Had he been the father of the child, they certainly would have known."

Detectives have told FOX News that they are looking into the possibility that Casey Anthony, 22, impersonated the baby sitter who she says took Caylee. She may have signed the sitter's name during a visit to an apartment complex and written in a visit date within the time frame of the child's disappearance.

The family has said Casey Anthony fears that Caylee's life is in danger.

"Speaking from her doorway, Cindy Anthony told a cadre of reporters that she had called police and that the family and investigators were working together as a team."

...

She was charged with one felony and one misdemeanor offense in addition to the child neglect charge she already is facing. She is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 21 but does not have to appear in court because her attorney submitted a written not guilty plea.

It took Casey Anthony more than a month to report the child missing, which she did on July 15.

Detectives reported smelling a strong odor of decomposition in the trunk of a car Casey Anthony was using. They said they also found hair samples similar to those belonging to Caylee.

Waterboard Casey Anthony until she tells the truth.

This is such an awful story. I’ve been following it in the news. What a beautiful child. I don’t even think any babysitter existed. I hope someone is held accountable for this. If the Grandmom didn’t report it, Lord knows when anyone would have found out she was missing.

She’s not in the lake. The mother borrowed a shovel and stole two cans of gas from her parents shed.

FWIW, that has zero probative value. From the day I was born 40 years ago, I have never looked in the slightest like my father..

Sure you know who your father is?

Just kidding.

The picture I saw of this guy is he is VERY DARK SKINNED. There's now way that's his daughter. Nor is there ANY resemblance to him. She doesn't look like the mother much either. Bet ya she looks like the father but Jesus is not him. She most definitely doesn't have a dark skinned father.

My theory...

The tot's mother is a woman who, apparently, likes to party.

Back two months ago, the Florida weather was already very hot. The mother took the tot with her and either left to go party or into a store while the baby was left in a very hot car. The mother forgot about the little girl for a long time and when she returned to the car, the tot was already dead from heat exhaustion. The mother panicked and didn't know what to do and put the little girl in the trunk of her car until she could figure out what to do. Time passed and she was still unsure what to do and the little girl's corpse started decomposing. Hence, the stench in the trunk.

After realizing that she had no other choice, she had to dispose of the body, either by herself of with the help of someone else.

It's just a theory, but it could've happened that way.

I can’t help but feel that the grandparents know the truth about what happened and are delaying, misinforming, lying as much as they can hoping that this case will die.

They should have to pay the taxpayers back every cent for this search farce.

This body will never be found.

My theory matches your theory:

Of course the little girl's life is in danger!
She's probably dead and Casey murdered her.

I bet she left her in a hot car while partying. Came out and saw the girl dead. Hid her in the trunk. Drove home. Burried her in the backyard. Sobered up and then dug her up and tossed her into a dumpster somewhere. Casy knows exactly what happened to her daughter. Grandma knows too ... .

I doubt she know WHO the FATHER is.

She made it up so people feel sorry for her and NOBLE for not “burdening” the family of the guy she shacked up with for a night. She preys on males. She wants males to pay her way. Some will.

I agree.

People will KNOW she did it but won’t be able to prove it.

Heck, “Mom” will party on as soon as she is able to.

Another theory like yours is that the child drowned in the pool while Mom was unattentive.

The police did come back for that pool ladder.

That’s a good one too.

I didn’t know they had a pool there.

He doesn't look that dark to me.

Jesus Ortiz Most Likely Not Caylee Marie Anthony’s Father

There's a link to his My Space page too.

Yeah, saw it on Greta last night. A big above ground pool.

The grandma says they always remove the ladder when not in use so Caylee couldn’t get in the pool.

Funny thing was, they came home one day back in June, at least that is how I understood it, and that ladder was taken out of the shed and back on the pool.

She did not know who put it there.

I believe she really does, but of course her daughter probably denies it.

Good thinking.

However, if both you and I, and perhaps others, were able to think up our theories, then it's very likely that the police department and investigators and reporters, were also thinking along the same lines. It's probably one of many theories and hopefully the police are investigation the different scenarios and theories.

>>I doubt she know WHO the FATHER is.<<

From what I gather of Casey’s lifestyle, that is a VERY good possibility.

Right ... maybe when Grandma is around but if Casey has a hot phone call going on ... she could be easily distracted ... .

Hmmmmmmmmmmm maybe the priority was to get the dead girl out of there. To heck with the ladder?

She did not know who put it there.

Grandma isn’t helping with her juvenile attitude.

I’m sure they are ... the only problem is NO BODY.

In the Perterson situation atleast they had a torso and proved it was his wife. Crimcumstances did him in.

THis one lies so much and NO BODY makes it tougher. It doesn’t sound like the evidence they have is enough to charge her with any form of murder. Her plea for IMMUNITY tells me she KNOWS what happened.

"People will KNOW she did it but won’t be able to prove it."

exactly...there is very little "evidence" and even if they find the babys' dna in the trunk, it could be argued that she played in their, maybe peed her pants....

the "mother" will get a minimum sentence for "losing" her child....since she has no record, she might not even get any sentence....

I wish it wasn't so, but thats' the way things are shaping up.....either she cracks or they find the body....
