Casey Anthony investigators working ‘deliberately’ at search site
A Sheriff’s Office spokesman just said during a televised news conference that investigators are working very slowly and “deliberately” at the site near the Anthony family home where unidentified remains were found last week.
Capt. Angelo Nieves said the site will dictate how long they will remain — not the investigators.
Nieves said the investigators are sifting and labeling items that have been recovered, but he would not say what those items are.
When asked why investigators are taking such a long time — the remains were found Thursday morning — Nieves said, “They’re doing a meticulous job.”
Nieves said proper experts are being called including an anthropologist, entomologist and botanist.
Memorial for Caylee Marie grows at the Anthonys’ neighborhood
12:57 p.m. Groups of people arrived at the scene to drop off flowers and other trinkets at the growing makeshift memorial at the corner of Suburban and Hopespring drives.
Stuffed animals, bouquets, a candle holder with the Virgin Mary, as well as handwritten notes rest at the base of an oak tree.
A mother and father from Merritt Island brought their two sons, 8 and 6, to the scene while on their way to Disney World.
The children have been watching the news about the missing toddler and the trip to the neighborhood could bring them closure, said dad David Diamond.
One of his sons brought a toy car and left it at the memorial.

No Reward For Meter Reader Who Found Skull
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — It was a meter reader who found the remains that could be Caylee Anthony. He’s having a tough time and does not want to talk with the media and he is so disturbed by what he found his bosses have given him some time off of work.
When the Orange County meter reader discovered a skull in the woods not too far from Caylee Anthony’s home his supervisor called 911.
That phone call makes the meter reader ineligible for a $5,000 Crimeline reward. To collect the reward, you have to call Crimeline first before you call 911.
”You have to initiate a tip with Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS,” explained Detective Barb Bergin, Crimeline. “We don’t have enough money to pay rewards to everyone who calls 911.”
Bergin encourages people to call 911 if there is an emergency, but Crimeline calls are answered 24 hours a day.
“As calls come in, if it’s something that needs an emergency or needs law enforcement, we have people in place for that to happen immediately,” Bergin said.
Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla offered a $50,000 reward for Caylee’s body, but pulled the money when people complained searchers were tearing up their yards looking for remains.
“I don’t want to get sued,” Padilla said.
Still, Padilla plans thinks the meter reader deserves some kind of reward and he plans to write him a check if the remains belong to Caylee.
”It’s going to be a figure between five and ten grand involved easily,” he said. “Nobody looks at bags out here in these palmettos, they just walk by it. This guy had the foresight to go over and do it.”
Crimeline detectives told Eyewitness News they never make exceptions. You have to call the tip line first if you want to be eligible for a reward. While they have received complaints from people who called 911 first and then tried to collect the money, they always stick to their policy.
Crimeline has achieved a lot fighting crime in Central Florida. During the last year, Crimeline tips have generated 1,100 arrests and solved 1,200 cases.
Crimeline gave out $340,000 in rewards. That money comes from a trust fund in the Attorney General’s Office.

Conway To Ask For Full Immunity For The Anthonys
The new lawyer for George and Cindy Anthony spoke to the public Monday. He said he didn’t know about plans to prosecute them on charges related to the case, but he did tell Eyewitness News that he is seeking immunity for Caylee’s grandparents.
Attorney Brad Conway says he just wants to make sure his clients are protected. He wants to make sure charges aren’t filed later.
George and Cindy Anthony were not ready to address the media, but issued a statement through their attorney Monday. The Anthonys do not plan on making a public statement until the remains found near their home are identified.
Conway said the family is realistic, but hopeful it’s not Caylee.
”The last six months have been the hardest six months of our lives and we understand that the ongoing investigation and prosecution of our daughter, Casey, will consume our lives with conflict,” Conway read from the statement. “Based on recent developments we are realistic but continue to hope and pray that these remains are not those of our precious granddaughter Caylee Marie.”
Once the medical examiner and the defense examine the remains, the remains, if Caylee’s, will be released to the Anthonys.
“If it is Caylee Marie, they will make proper burial,” Conway told Eyewitness News.
Eyewitness News reported last week that sources close to the investigation said they are possibly building a case against Caylee’s grandparents for obstruction of justice. Sources told Eyewitness News, if charges were pursued, it would be after the remains were identified and it would come from the forensic evidence that was recently taken from the Anthony home.
”They have cooperated. They have done nothing,” Conway said.
Conway said he plans to meet with the lead prosecutor and detectives later this week to ask for full immunity for the Anthonys.
“We will not speculate. If the attorney officially decides to ask our office, well will address it then,” said Danielle Taverneri, spokesperson for the State Attorney’s Office.
Conway admits the Anthonys have made conflicting statements in the past. They will be re-interviewed by investigators. He said, for the next interview they give to authorities, there will not be any conflicting statements.
Attorney Brad Conway also said he is representing the Anthonys for free.

Requested thread from my email
I’ve had several requests for this information, and I just don’t have the answer. So lets put the army to work.
People keep asking me 
Where are the Anthony’s getting the money for the dream team? (you’ll never hear me refer to Camp Casey’s defense team as that again but I was quoting my emails) Where are they getting the money to stay at the Ritz, eat 100$ meals, etc.???
My short answer is always the same. Don’t know.
When asked about it George and Cindy’s latest attorney Brad Conway said it was nobody’s business.
Casey Anthony’s attorney Baez said it was an “inappropriate question”.
It really didn’t matter to me one way or the other, but now that it’s “inappropriate”… Hell, I’m in!!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to come up with everything you can find on this subject and add it to the comments of this thread.

Dr. G Is Back At The Scene Of The Remains
Orange County Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia is now at the site of the unidentified remains in east Orange County.
Garavaglia, a forensic pathologist, is the star of the Discovery Channel’s show, Dr. G: Medical Examiner.
Search continues near the home of Caylee Marie Anthony
It could be days before Orange County crime scene technicians and FBI forensic investigators are done processing the scene where the remains of a small child were found last week.
A team from the medical examiner’s office just arrived at the crime scene on Hopespring and Suburban drives. It’s unknown why they returned or what their presence signifies.
Investigators are carefully combing through the area and have started removing sections of trees and undergrowth. An investigator can been seen crawling on her knees while examining the uprooted undergrowth that was placed on a white piece of fabric spread out on Suburban Drive.
“It’s a lot of undergrowth, a lot of leaves,” said sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Carlos Padilla. “It’s very tedious and very methodical.”
About 10 investigators are working to examine the area where the body was found, Padilla said. It could take up to 14 days for a positive identification to be made.
The body was discovered on the morning of Dec. 11 in a heavily wooded area, about one-fourth of a mile from the home of missing Caylee Marie Anthony. The body remains in the possession of the Orange-Osceola County Medical Examiner, however, part of the remains were taken to an FBI lab this weekend by Orange County deputies, Padilla said.
He would not elaborate on what was sent to the lab or the additional items that were found at the scene.
California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who helped to free Caylee’s mother Casey Anthony from jail earlier this summer, is milling around the area and talking to curious onlookers.

Investigators Remain At Crime Scene
ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) — Investigators with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office continue to search and protect an area where a child’s remains were found last week, less than one mile away from the home of missing Caylee Anthony.
The crime scene is being blocked by an official vehicle. FOX 35’s Valerie Boey said an investigator carrying a machete was at the wooded area this morning, most likely there to help clear land and search for any additional evidence.
On Sunday,Cindy and George Anthony returned to their home on Hopespring Drive Sunday after attending services at Eastside Baptist Church.
FOX 35 was the only crew at the Conway Gardens Road Church Sunday morning, where the Anthonys’ pastor prayed for hope.
While the Anthonys did not speak to FOX 35 crews, their pastor, Dr. Shane Stutzman said he held a private meeting with the grandparents of missing 3-year-old Caylee Marie.
“I just prayed with the Anthonys this morning and encouraged them and let them know we’re here and we’re not leaving,” he said.

Stutzman said Sunday morning’s service was about faith during difficult times. “I think what’s going to make them strong is their faith. Obviously, when you go through times like this, it’s faith that makes you strong. This can be a time when our community can come together,” said Stutzman.

Attorney: Anthonys ‘Realistic About Probability’ That Bones Are Caylee’s
Investigators have discovered more human remains in a wooded area near the home of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, Local 6 News reported. Forensic teams will continue to the search the area on Monday after a utility worker found a child’s skull on Thursday less than a half-mile from the east Orange County home that the toddler shared with her mother and grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony”It’s a bad situation all the way around.
They’re realistic about the probability that it’s Caylee, but they pray that it’s not. They continue to be optimistic — and they will until there’s a positive identification — they’re not going to give up hope. None of us are,” Anthony family attorney Brad Conway said.
Investigators said they hope to positively identify the remains before Christmas.
Local 6 News confirmed that animal bones were also found in the wooded area.
Caylee has been missing since mid-June, and no trace of her was found until last week’s discovery. Orange County sheriff’s deputies, agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and FBI experts have converged on the vacant property and continue to comb it for clues.
Sheriff’s spokesman Carlos Padilla said Sunday that the thick undergrowth has made for slow searching.
”They’re being very tedious and very methodical,” he said.
Padilla would not say if any other pieces of evidence were found during the search.
Caylee’s mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, waited a month to report her daughter missing. She initially told police that she left the child with a baby sitter, but detectives said her story was untrue. Anthony was charged in her daughter’s murder on Oct. 14.
The discovery of the skull was the first major break in the case in months.
Although DNA results on the remains probably won’t be released for several days, authorities and even Anthony’s own attorneys are treating the find as if it is the little girl.
One of Anthony’s attorneys, Linda Kenney Baden, said during a court hearing last week that “anthropological measurements and hair color” of the remains were said to match Caylee.
Sheriff Kevin Beary said that a search of the grandparents’ home where the mother and daughter lived had also yielded links to the remains that he would not reveal. There are no other similar missing-child cases in the area.
Anthony is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.
On Sunday, the suburban neighborhood near the Anthony’s home and where the remains were found buzzed with activity. Inflatable Santa decorations and holiday lights were an odd backdrop for the crime scene vans and satellite TV trucks.
Neighbors wandered over to take photos of a small, makeshift memorial for Caylee, which included a unicorn, a Cinderella fan and teddy bears of varying sizes and colors.
