ORLANDO, Fla. -- A source inside the Orange County Sheriff's Office shared a new theory in the Caylee Anthony disappearance on Tuesday.
At the center of the theory is the possibility that the missing toddler is dead.
Authorities at the Orange County Sheriff's Office said they're focusing on three key dates in their investigation.
Members of the Anthony family said they refuse to believe the theory that Caylee died, but there are many people who think it is a possibility.
"I think it was accidental, and I think her mom tried to cover it up, and it kind of blew up in her face," Julie Herring said.
As speculation begins to swirl in the case, a source close to the investigation said the theory that Caylee is dead is possible. They said she may have died in an accident on June 16, but they're also looking into June 17 or 18.
"But there's a lot of things that they're looking at, and I guess they're waiting until they get results on everything before we put this puzzle together," Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesman Carlos Padilla said.
Officially, the Orange County Sheriff's Office is still treating the investigation as a missing person case.
"We have nothing to indicate she is not alive. Obviously, statistically and historically, one of the facets of life is more times than not, unfortunately, these don't turn out well," Padilla said.
More charges may be filed against Casey Anthony within the next 48 hours. A friend said she stole $700 from her.
Investigators said she may have used her parents' credit cards without permission, and they said she continues to lie to them. All of it could lead to a theft, credit card fraud and false statement charge.
"There's more to this saga, this story, than what people are led to believe and doesn't realize. There really is," grandfather George Anthony said.
Caylee's grandfather said he refuses to believe she could be dead and believes the toddler was kidnapped.
"These people know that they're being watched. They know it," George Anthony said.
George Anthony remains positive and said he'll continue to drive around with a mobile billboard displaying her picture until she's found. He has a background in law enforcement and said he's tapping into resources from his past.
If the little girl’s death was accidential why would the mom be out partying? It sounds like at the very least a form of sadistic child abuse. The mother is a sociopath, at least that’s the way it appears.

Definitely a sociopath, as I have personal experience with one, my brother, who was diagnosed as a sociopath when he was 12. He is now 52, and still a sociopath. This Casey is just right for the sociopath genre. All id................
According to the grandparents, their daughter, Cathy, stole gasoline from their garage around the time of Caylee’s disappearance. The grandparents have said they don’t want to lose two people they love, which somehow explains their refusal to cooperate completely with police. They’ve said Cathy’s a pathological liar, and surely they know what she’s capable of. (She didn’t start anti-social behavior yesterday.)
They know her intimately, and heaven help us, we’ve gotten to know her from those detestable bar photos. Cathy doesn’t care about anything but saving her own sorry hide, and when all is said and done, Caylee deserves a decent burial where people who loved her can mourn her loss.
My personal theory is the little girl died in the car in the hot Florida sun while “mom” partied in an air conditioned bar somewhere...................
Well said.
Really? How about the fact that a 2 year old is missing? A 2 year old cannot live on her own.
How can you lose something you never had? Sociopath’s don’t form normal relationships with people. How can her mother defend this kind of anti-social behavior? It’s a little shocking that people can be so different in their values. There are some people in this world who will defend their children even when their children murder their own grandchildren. It is beyond comprehension. I was raised with the value you don’t defend your children’s bad behavior. I don’t understand people like Casey’s mother. She is a different breed.
THAT may be what precipitated the vehement vocal argument between the parents and Casey that supposedly took place on the day that Caylee was last seen alive...............
True, but the grandparents and Casey claim the girl is "kidnapped"...........even though no ransom has been demanded or reason given for the kidnapping.............
Casey’s mother seems odd also. The first Greta interview the grandmother mostly talked about herself, how tired she was and that she didn’t want Greta to ask her stupid questions. I then changed the channel. (The only time I ever see Greta is when I haven’t yet walked over to the TV to change it to Jeopardy). Casey’s mother is a strange case herself.
I think Casey’s Mom (Cindy) is just in deep denial and not allowing herself to think about what might have really happened. However it appears that recently she is starting to come around to what really happened.
Sounds like a case of a person who has never had any responsibility (Casey) having a child. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it.
I don't. I hope we find out soon, but no matter what happens, God knows. And His justice is perfect.
I was raised the same way as you, and have attempted to raise my children the same way. But, this "breed" you mention is all too common these days. I've never understood it. They raise their children mainly by absence and indulgement and when their kids do something wrong, they defend the kids as fervently as if they were defending themselves. I see it all the time.
No they aren't.
That is an incredibly rare occurrence.
You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning several times.

“A source close to the investigation said that more and more they believe Caylee probably died in some sort of accident on June 16 — hours after she was last seen by grandfather George Anthony.”
The cops know she is dead. They just have to prove it BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT..............
“the little girl died in the car in the hot Florida sun”
That’s what several people are thinking and it does make a lot of sense as far as being something that Casey would probably be apt to do.
