t has been one month since Caylee Anthony was reported missing in Orange County. Investigators held a news conference on Wednesday afternoon to shed new light on recent theories from the little girl's grandparents about what happened to her.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office said it's not trying to build a case against Caylee Anthony's mother Casey, it's trying to get truthful information from her about where her daughter was before she disappeared.
"Before you even get started, jump day, you had a month expire. It makes it awful tough to re-track information," said Chief Mark Strobridge of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Caylee's grandparents made statements about mystery kidnappers, but investigators have not identified any kidnappers.
"It is our hope and prayer that Caylee is found alive and well," Stobridge said.
The Orange County Sheriff said it's working with analysts from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and FBI agents not just here in Orlando, but around the country. They have detectives from all departments following nearly 1,500 leads.
Investigators said they have everything they need to do a large scale search except one thing, a location where they can find Caylee Anthony.
"What we don't have is information on exactly where Caylee was last. The one person who has that information is Casey Anthony and she is not providing information that's accurate to us," Stobridge said.
Investigators said they also called the news conference to say they will only release information as necessary to help find Caylee, and they wouldn't lend any credibility to some of the off-the-wall claims the family's been making.
"You would think the people who have my granddaughter would be smart enough to say, ' Listen, I'm going to turn the girl back in to her family,'" George Anthony told Eyewitness News in an interview earlier in the week.
Detectives have said in court that there is evidence that Caylee may not be alive, including the smell of death in her mother's car.
Caylee's grandparents are expected to visit her mother in jail on Thursday. It would be the first time she has seen any family members in nearly two weeks. Eyewitness News learned Thursday morning that Casey had apparently accepted the scheduled visit.
DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT CASEY ANTHONY'S CALLS
Eyewitness News learned Wednesday there's a more detailed record of some of Casey Anthony's calls made before Caylee was reported missing. The leaked phone records show that on Monday, June 16 Casey Anthony called her parents six times in just over an hour. The records show exactly whom she called and what time the calls were made.
According to the leaked records, Casey made six calls to her parents on the afternoon of June 16, with the first call at 3:03pm to her father's cell phone and the last of the six made to her mom's cell phone at 4:24. During that time she also tried her mother at work and called her ex-fiancé, Jesse Grund.
The next day, June 17, neighbors told investigators that Casey borrowed a shovel from them. Then, on June 18, there was another spike in calls to her parents, six in 45 minutes during the early part of the afternoon. According to the leaked records, three calls were made to her parent's home phone, two to her mom's cell phone and one to her dad's cell phone, all between 12:33pm and 1:11pm.
VOLUNTEERS USE MESSAGE BOARD TO ORGANIZE SEARCH
A small group of volunteers used WFTV.com's message board to organize a search for Caylee Anthony. The volunteers were searching in Blanchard Park on the Econ Trail again Wednesday.
The volunteers were also at the park Tuesday and searched through wooded areas and under bridges along the trail. It's the same park where jogger Nicole Ganguzza was attacked and killed in June.
But what "other" evidence?...........
Maybe the mom just hadn't brushed her teeth in a while. /s
Did they ever say if the DNA in the trunk was Caylee’s?
I find it hard to believe that Casey stole her parents car, stole money from their bank account and was missing for a month with their granddaughter and they never called the police either?
I know people want to see the best in their children, but come on! And that they saw the stolen gas cans in their daughter’s trunk while not knowing where their granddaughter is.
I’m not saying the grandparents were involved in anything, and after Casey admitted she hadn’t seen her daughter in a month, they have been very cooperative, but something is just so fishy here.
Either not all DNA tests are not back yet, or if they are, the police are not releasing the results as yet. My guess is the police are holding the test results and getting their "ducks in a row". They already suspect that the child is dead. I mean, Casey wanted to borrow a shovel from a neighbor, for cryin' out loud! Since they already figure that the child is dead, they are taking their time.............
I don’t know about all that but I will tell you that I am SO tired of the gma. Her husband is always pulling her away from the reporters camped around her 24/7.
She goes on and on and yet says nothing. I know they’re probably hurting. I’m a gma and I do understand that. But at the same time, yesterday when she drove into her garage she could have walked right into her own home and been done with the reporters. Did she? NO...She sauntered out the garage, down the driveway and STRAIGHT into the Fox News Camera.
Part of me thinks she’s loving the attention.
Maybe the kid got sold. It happens sometimes when parents of a pretty child need some cash to pay their dealer or maybe the dealer also deals in that sort of merchandise.
Did you know that grandpa is a RETIRED HOMICIDE INVESTIGATOR?.......This is called "muddying the waters". They know that the longer the investigation takes, the less likely that the police will be able to prove anything "beyond a reasonable doubt". They know that the little girl is most likely dead and disposed of. They are doing everything they can to obfuscate and misdirect peoples' attention to "others", in a bid to probably save their daughter from a full lifetime in prison..........
Mom killed her child because she wanted to be free and be with her boyfriend without the burdern of a child. She is Susan Smith all over again!
Heard deputies were searching around Blanchard Park/Econ Trail area. A psychic investigator is looking in Lake Conway based on a vision she had.
I don’t think it’s that simple. I believe the “party girl” got drunk or whatever, left the little girl asleep in the car in the hot Florida sun and she died of heat stroke. The twit didn’t find her til she was already dead beyond hope. If you check her cell phone records (that are partially available) you’ll see a flurry of attempts to contact the mother and father cell and home phones withing minutes of each other on the day that Caylee disappeared............
There are literally hundreds of lakes around that area, any one of which can be a disposal site........Is this the same “psychic” that claimed she “saw” a “lake surrounded by trees and wild flowers”?.................
That’s the one, she’s filming for a TV show, right?
Yeah, she’s got her own TV show or something. Predicting the body will be found by a lake with trees and wild flowers in that area is like predicting there will be snow in Greenbay in December..........
Shortly after the last time little Caylee was seen by the grandparents, the mother (Casey) borrowed a neighbor's shovel and never returned it..
That is somewhere around the same time frame as when she took the gas cans.
That is true, but is circumstantial evidence. The police must deal in hard, objective evidence. They have something they are not releasing just yet, nor should they. My guess is that as soon as the DNA tests are ALL in and conclusive, they’ll burn rubber to the courthouse to get a indictment for murder...............but what degree?...........
June 18th --- The shovel is borrowed from the neighbor.
That's from the Websleuth's Timeline. Scroll down to the last 2 posts in the thread for the most up-to-date timeline info.
THANKS A BUNCH!.......
I also wondered about this. Have they questioned the biological father or, if he is really dead, his parents? They might have wanted something of their son. Strange how the biological dad’s name is kept hidden.
