Caylee Anthony

Just like most people, I just can’t stand the thought of someone hurting a child. In fact, its pretty much impossible for me to imagine how someone COULD hurt a child. They are the absolute most innocent among us. Still, it happens, and it often happens at the hands of the very ones who are supposed to care for them the most.

Caylee Anthony would be 3-years-old if she were still alive. Her third birthday came and went while she has been missing. She went missing in June 2008. Her mother, Casey Anthony, didn’t report her missing until a month later. She only reported her missing in July because her mother and grandmother to her child forced her to do so. The drama of the Anthony family has been in the news since Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of the missing child, made a frantic call to the police to report her grandchild missing.

Since it became apparent that something had happened to Caylee, her mother Casey, has come up with one story after the next. Some of her stories have been pretty bizarre. For instance, she claims she didn’t report her daughter missing because she was investigating her disappearance herself. As time has gone by, she’s been arrested times and released twice. Finally, in October 2008, the courts in Orange County, Florida had determined there was enough evidence to charge Casey Anthony with the murder of Caylee Anthony even though a body had not been found. They had taken the death penalty off the table.

Now that a body has been found, in very close proximity to the Anthony’s home, things are a little more intense for her incarcerated mother. Her attorneys have asked for a delay in her trial until March 2009. There’s a flurry of legal activity in the courts, a search of George and Cindy Anthony’s home and the delicate procedure to retrieve the poor child’s remains have been more difficult because of a heavy rain storm.

Rumors are that there were no clothes found with the remains and that the mouth had duck tape over it. That would belie the claim of some that Casey had accidentally killed Caylee.

This is a breaking story. I’m sure there will be more sordid details to come out yet.

Here are some crime scene photos.
