Casey Anthony Indicted!! Charges Sealed Until Her Arrest

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The Orange County Grand Jury indicted Casey Anthony on a capital count Tuesday in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. The indictment has been sealed until Casey Anthony is taken into custody. At that time, the charges will be released

The indictment paves the way for sheriff’s deputies to arrest Casey and send her back to jail. She has been out on house arrest on child neglect charges and check fraud charges. The check fraud charges are in an unrelated case. 

Caylee Anthony was reported missing by Casey earlier this summer, a month after Caylee first disappeared. Investigators said Casey has insisted she left the child with a babysitter and claims the babysitter must have Caylee. 

However, deputies have not found that babysitter. They did find evidence in Casey’s car that shows Caylee Anthony’s decomposing body was in it. Caylee’s body has never been found. 

Casey Anthony’s lawyer conceded earlier Tuesday that it was likely the grand jury would return some sort of indictment against his client in connection with the death of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony.

 Orange County Sheriff’s Office Detective Yuri Melich, who has served as the lead investigator for the case, was the final witness and the Grand Jury began deliberations around 3:00pm. They returned from their deliberations less than an hour later.
