I think she is dead too. The maggots in the trunk. The smell. The cops are so pissed off right now. I hope they arrest the GP's too. They no doubt know something.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Preliminary evidence in the case of missing Caylee Anthony indicates that there was a dead body in the back of her mother's car and it was Caylee's body, Local 6 reported Sunday.
"We have scientific evidence back from the lab -- the FBI lab -- and we have evidence that we have not yet made public that leads our investigators to believe that Caylee is deceased," Orange County sheriff's Cmdr. Matt Irwin said.
Not only did a car belonging to Casey Anthony smell like death but scientists were able to confirm the presence of gases produced by a decomposing body.
Investigators said the trunk also contained what they believe to be Caylee's hair and the hair showed signs of decomposition.
Detectives are still working to identify a stain in the trunk, Local 6 has learned.
Despite the new evidence, authorities said that they are not ready to charge Casey Anthony with homicide, Local 6 has learned.
"We don't have intentions of that at this point," Irwin said.
Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, issued a statement Sunday that said, "I won't comment on the specifics of any report I have not had the opportunity to review or have challenged by independent experts."
There were some demonstrators outside of the Anthony house Sunday but no large turnout.
Caylee, 3, has been missing since mid-June.
Casey Arrested
Meanwhile, Casey Anthony remained in jail after deputies arrested her at her parents' home Friday night as a crowd outside cheered and waved "baby killer" signs.
A fleet of Orange County sheriff's vehicles drove to the home of George and Cindy Anthony on Hope Spring Drive Friday night and arrested Casey Anthony.
Local 6 showed video of the 22-year-old being removed from the house in handcuffs.
Anthony was arrested on theft charges that had nothing to do with the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, Local 6 reported.
A crowd that gathered in front of the Anthony home Friday night screamed insults at Casey Anthony and cheered as she was led away by officers.
The crowd was described as "chaotic" and "angry."
"I've been praying for (the arrest) for a long time," a woman told Local 6's Adam Longo in front of the Anthony house. "Caylee needs justice. And finally tonight, justice has been done. She belongs in jail forever."
"When the police came and everyone got excited because everybody was waiting for this moment and it finally happened," a woman said.
Attorney: Arrest Was 'Big Spectacle'
Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said he was upset over Friday night's arrest.
"I just have a real problem with law enforcement flexing their muscles just to make a show," Baez said. "And that is all this was -- a big spectacle. (It was) a big spectacle in front of these people and a big spectacle in front of the community and for the media."
Baez was asked if Casey Anthony should have been arrested on the financially related charges.
"They could have arrested her two months ago," Baez said. "But they decided to do it at a specific time and a specific place and decided to leak it to the media. Once they did, and I caught wind of it, I decided to send them a fax -- which I have here with me from my office -- and I told them, 'Listen, let's do this in a professional manner if you plan on arresting her and if you have any additional charges, I'll surrender her. She is not a flight risk. She is here to stand in front of these charges and I'll surrender her.'"
Baez said Detective Allen wanted "his grand spectacle."
"I've held a lot back, and there is a lot that law enforcement has done that I have not said a word about because it is not about me and law enforcement but it's about Caylee and finding Caylee," Baez said.
Baez said if it is in Casey Anthony's best interest, he planned to get her out of jail.
"We don't want to put any more shows for law enforcement to do at her expense and the expense of the Constitution, and I certainly don't want to contribute to their little show any further," Baez said.
Theft Charges Detailed In Affidavit
According to a new arrest affidavit, Anthony allegedly wrote about $700 worth of checks that had been stolen.
Detectives said they have Anthony on surveillance video using the stolen checks belonging to a friend at a Target store and a Bank of America.
Local 6 has also learned there could be more charges to come for Casey Anthony.
In a recently released report, Casey Anthony allegedly used a routing number off a birthday check her grandmother gave her.
Probably a negligent manslaughter case. She probably left the kid in the car with the windows closed. Maybe the air was on and for what ever reason the engine went off and the kid died from the eat exposure.??? I don’t think it was intentionally done, but who knows, I’m just guessing.
NOOOO don’t you say that sweet Looter guy have something do with it he may be crook he is not murderer
RIGHT MONK
Is it true they’re seeking immunity for the mother?
If they still are I think that’s a terrible injustice to this beautiful child.
Deadline for deal is tomorrow...the evidence is building
My thoughts exactly. The child died in an unventilated hot car while Mama partied.
They’ll tell her they believe her on that if she’ll just tell them where Caylee is. Then she’ll sign an agreement on this with the stipulation that the deal is off if an autopsy finds Caylee died of something other than heat related illness.
I’m sure she killed Caylee. The girl is whacked.
Crooks are so stupid.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out what gets into people. I do some dumb things, but I make sure that I am the only one victimized by them. I treat my dogs better that some folks treat their children. It’s unthinkable.
I’ve thought about the possibility of this child dieing after being left in a hot car. But I also wonder if she may have died from ingesting some legal or illegal drugs that she came across at one of the places this child’s mother seemed to bounce between when she wasn’t at her mothers home.
However this baby lost life, it was on her mama’s watch. I just want this to be solved. I doubt it ever will be with all this crap the family is sending out.
The same mother that went out partying in the weeks after her child died? When the partying photos were released, Casey was sticking to her story about the mysterious nanny. With evidence now pointing to Caylee's death, those pictures of partying mommy are even more disgusting.
Thanks for the pings. I’ve been kinda busy with Gustav preps and stuff, even though we didn’t get anything but a lot of rain and TS winds and few tornadoes in the area....
Hi Red Badger glad you’re safe. We need your pings on this story!
Ping!.........

OT: Has anyone else noticed the font at FR looking different today? For me, the headlines and text are bold. Is it just me, or has something changed at FR today? Thanks!
Mine looks the same as it always has......
