I am now posting any updates to the case on the main page of the site. You can find them by clicking the home link, subscribing to my RSS feed, or if you just want Caylee news you can check the Caylee Anthony category page. Although I won't update this particular entry except in the case of extremely important breaking news I will leave the comments open.

Update - August 15th 2008 7:30PM

I just shot an email off to Leonard Padilla requesting an email interview. I doubt he will respond, particularly as I have been pretty snarky about the whole family but you never know. I do have a couple of questions in mind but if any of you guys have specific questions you would like asked, leave them in the comments and I will ask them should he or one of his staff provide the interview. Thanks...

Leonard Padilla and Robert Disk have a pretty cool site about what they do and some of the fugitives over here.

Update - August 15th 2008 7:15PM

I knew I recognized the name Leonard Padilla from something other than Julie Padilla. He's on a show called Bounty Hunters on National Geographic Channel. I wonder if they will be filming while they are with Casey. Seems like even more of a PR ploy now.

Padilla has said though that they are doing this because they want to find the baby. As I mentioned earlier there is always the off chance that Casey is telling the truth or even if she's not they might be able to find the location from her.

...

Update - August 15th 2008 5:45PM

Police have discounted local media reports that they had traced cell phone calls made by Casey to a remote area near the airport according to FOX news. Orange County detectives says that the reports of mobile phone calls made by Casey Anthony from a remote area around the time that Caylee was last seen are bullshit.

...

Updated - August 15th 2008 5:30PM

I've been waiting on this. Apparently Casey Anthony is finally going to make bail after all. Leonard Padilla is a bounty hunter from California and his nephew Tony Padilla is a bail bondsman. They are hoping to have Casey Anthony out on bail by Monday. Thanks for the info Jane. I appreciate you guys helping to keep me apprised of new events in the case.

According to Central Florida News 13:

It means that the Padilla's think they can find Casey and recover the reward as well as get back their bond. I am assuming they plan on sticking to Casey like flies on shit. It'll be a bitch if she can ditch them and get away...There's always the extremely remote and unlikely chance that she's actually telling the truth about at least one thing and that Caylee is alive and she knows who has her...

Then again monkeys might fly out of my ass at any time. It's certainly more likely than Casey Anthony telling the truth about anything even remotely related to the disappearance of her three-year-old daughter.

According to the Orlando Sentinel Tony Padilla Bail Bonds is affiliated with a Houston Texas based company, Financial Surety, which is licensed in Florida. That's how it's legal for the California company to assist with her bond.

The Anthonys also have a spokesman now. Larry Garrison is speaking on behalf of the Anthonys. He was a spokesperson in the Natalee Holloway case as well as in the John Mark Carr case. Carr was the guy that lied and said he had killed JonBenet Ramsey.

I did a quick search and it has nothing to do with this case whatsoever but apparently Tony Padilla made a $4800 donation to the Julie Padilla for Congress campaign in 2006 so they are obviously no strangers to the media.

Keep on sending me updates. I appreciate it and will repost them here for you folks!

Updated August 15th 2008 1:55PM

Police have been using Casey Anthony's cell phone records to zero in on where she was spending time, particularly in the three day period from June 16th-18th. Here is the log of calls that has so far been released:

Obviously if there is anything LE thinks is pertinent they are going to leave out, such as the calls from the 17th.

I've been hanging out over at WebSleuths Forums and the links below pertain to official documents and information in the case. Thanks to LoraKai for posting them over in the forums. I have blatantly stolen them and reposted here. Head over to WebSleuths and take part in the discussion if you have anything good to share.

Also thanks to whomever anonymously posted it here in the comments.

Update - August 14th 2008 5:55 AM

Sorry about the lack of updates yesterday afternoon.

Law Enforcement must be growing tired of the Anthony's efforts to spin the media in their conspiracy theories and lies. They came out yesterday and announced that if the information doesn't come from them it's not true. So far that has seemed to be the case.

In what has become her usual fashion Cindy Anthony had a response to that announcement.

I came across a story yesterday evening over at WESH in Orlando. A couple that lives in an apartment complex in the area claims to have pictures of Caylee Anthony and says that just as soon as they contacted the police the people disappeared.

According to the Moseleys two men, a woman and a little girl were staying two doors down from them in the apartment on Anderson Street. They last saw the girl on July 17th.

So was it a real sighting or are the Moseleys mad because police told them it was not Caylee and so they decided to get their fifteen minutes of fame in the media?

Police are also still combing through Casey Anthony's cell phone records hoping to track where she was during the time when Caylee disappeared. Sometimes the records will show where a person was, for instance if you are in the middle of a call when it's handed off to a new cell tower.

The story over at WESH has quite a bit of information as well as an updated timeline.

...

Update - August 12th 2008 3:05PM

According to Randi Kaye on Anderson 360 George and Cindy Anthony want Casey out of jail so that she can give them whatever information it is that she's holding back. Bullshit. That's as bad as the damned psychics that are looking for Caylee. George Anthony and Cindy Anthony say that they have an idea of who has taken Caylee and they are watching them. Whatever.

Lee Anthony was scheduled to meet with his sister this morning at 9AM and in a turnaround he has canceled his visit with her but gave no reason. According to a jail supervisor his visit may be rescheduled for later in the week. According to WESH in Orlando Jose Baez says that the family is just trying to protect Caylee because tapes of the video visitations are made public.

Sounds like even more horsecrap to me.

I'll try and post more of the day's updates this evening.

...

Update - August 11th 2008 9:30PM

There are several items I want to post from today, let's go through the list:

1. Jose Baez, the attorney for Casey Anthony says that the disappearance of Caylee Anthony is "eerily similar" to the disappearance of Maddie McCann in May of 2007. I got the info over at Local 6 News in Orlando. Sure, they are similar in that they were both toddlers that disappeared but that's pretty much where the similarities disappear. At least in Portugal while they don't have a suspect there was a man seen leaving the area carrying a girl that looked like Maddie. Although they might have been at a resort or apartment, the parents were remiss in leaving their children at home and they are both due a serious smackdown for being so fucking stupid. Since they recklessly endangered their child I guess maybe the cases are somewhat similar. The big difference is that the McCanns, while being irresponsible didn't kill or cause their child to disappear. It's pretty clear that Casey Anthony either killed, caused to be killed or allowed her child to be taken from her and has lied about it ever since. Jose Baez is just trying to spin it to garner some goodwill for his client so that when she goes in front of the jury there will be some reasonable doubt.

2. The Orange County jail has released the contents of a new phone call from Casey Anthony to her brother Lee:

3. The motion before the 5th District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach to lower Casey Anthony's bond has been denied for a second time. Her lawyers filed the motion last week trying to seek a re-hearing for Casey. The court did grant Anthony's lawyer's request to keep the motion sealed. I would be interested in finding out exactly what is in the motion that her attorneys want to keep from the public eye.

4. George and Cindy Anthony were back at the sheriff's office again today to speak to investigators. According to Cindy Anthony the visit had been scheduled last week.

5. Casey is scheduled to have another visit from her brother at 9AM tomorrow morning. I wonder if she is going to cancel this one too? She has already canceled two family visits in the last week.

6. The psychics are starting to come in the case now. Gale St. John has a team called the "Body Hunters" that have been featured on CourtTV, Discovery Channel and Larry King Live and they were supposed to be blind driving around the area today to try and find Caylee. Seems like a lot of fucking mumbo jumbo to me. They also took two search dogs with them. Apparently Ms. St John has a couple of TV shows so this kind of heavily reported case should be good for her ratings. Whatever. I don't necessarily disbelieve in stuff like that. I am a big believer in the fact that some people just can sense stuff that the rest of us can't but I tend to be skeptical about folks involved in the public eye I suppose.

In her defense, they did help to solve the Stacey Hendrickson murder but then again you can't be wrong all of the time. I don't really know enough yet about this group of people to judge them but I do know that most of the forums I read don't have a lot of good things to say about the Body Hunters and won't even post the link to their site.

7. The Body Farm up at the U of Tenn is going to be testing some air samples from Casey's car. There is some pretty cool research that goes on at the body farm and they have really helped out in a lot of cases with new technology such as being able to find evidence of human decomposition from air samples.

That's it right now. I haven't had the chance to check the comments for new info yet but will be shortly. If you have any other links and info please feel free to share them with us there.

Update - August 10th 2008 9:30 PM

For the second time this week Casey Anthony has canceled a visit at the jail from her family. Her parents were scheduled to visit her at 9PM this evening and she has not given a reason for canceling the meeting. It's pretty obvious though. Everyone is seeing through her lies and maybe she is accepting the facts of what she has done now.

The hair and DNA samples are complete now and have been turned over to law enforcement agencies.

I don't normally post these but someone from Websleuths put up a Caylee tribute on YouTube yesterday so I thought it deserved a link.

Casey apparently had quite a web presence. It's not that uncommon. Heck, you can find me all over the web myself. Luckily I haven't killed anyone yet I guess. Here are some of the links:

• http://caseyomarie.stumbleupon.com/
• http://community.webshots.com/user/caseyomarie (but the pics are gone now)
• http://www.nutsie.com/member/view_member/398165
• http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2908750 (it's a weird thread)

It seems as though whenever anyone on the major forums posts a link to photos they are being taken down very quickly...

...

Update - August 9th 2008 8:45PM

Happy Birthday Caylee, wherever you are.

Kind of sucks. Caylee Anthony is three years old today. If she's still alive and that's a pretty long shot.

Cathy posted a link over to WESH in Orlando in the comments. I don't think they mind, it just means more traffic for them I'm sure. Anyhow, they have updated their story here.

More updates tomorrow. I will actually get home at a decent time tomorrow afternoon (he crosses his fingers).

...

Update - August 8th 2008 2:40PM

I've had a busy couple of days and thus have not been updating the story on this case so there is quite a bit of new information but nothing that would be good news for Caylee. Quite a bit of it has been posted in the comments in one form or another thanks to several commenters including Cathy. Keep letting us know about new leads in the case as you folks hear them.

According to the Orlando Sentinel Casey Anthony's attorneys filed a motion this morning for another hearing in the 5th District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach. They are asking the appellate court for a reduction or reconsideration in the $500,200 bond that was set by Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland. The court file is still with the judges so I don't have any other information on that.

Lee Anthony, Casey's brother went to visit her in jail today and she refused to leave her cell and see him. She's been in jail for a few weeks now and this is the first time she's refused to see one of her family members. Possibly because of all of the new damning evidence that's turning up. It may all be circumstantial but once there is a ton of it things start looking bad.

There is a retention pond near the Anthony's house on Hopespring Drive and right now Orange County Sheriff's divers are searching it. Supposedly they haven't had any tips or evidence but they are doing it as part of their monthly training. I guess one of them must have said "Hey guys, instead of our normal training lets go looking for dead little girls" WTF?

Here's a map of the area. The retention pond sits just north of Lee Vista Blvd and judging by the photos from the street view at Google Maps there are houses or town homes that sit between the road and the retention pond.

View Larger Map

The retention pond is just south of the Anthony's home, which looks to be right in the same neighborhood, just a few streets over as a matter of fact.

Orange County detectives also released some more details yesterday concerning the search warrant executed at the house earlier this week. They took around a dozen articles of clothing from the closet as well as stuff Caylee had used such as toothbrushes, a comb and an oral thermometer. They also collected court ordered DNA samples from Casey Anthony in jail the same day. I don't understand why it's taken them so damn long to take the samples in the first place.

In addition to the clothes taken by Orange County the second visit to their home by the Crime Scene Technicians was because Cindy Anthony had called them to turn in a pair of pants and two pairs of shoes that she had removed from the car and washed because they stank like the car before reporting Caylee missing.

On a weird side note authorities from Orange County met with former lawman Mark Fuhrman for about a half an hour "meet and greet". They won't release any further details in that but Fuhrman was a highly decorated detective with the Los Angeles Police Department prior to the O.J. Simpson debacle.

He was on Greta Van Blustery's show Wednesday and said he had learned about a "flurry" of phone calls made from Casey Anthony's cell phone to her parents and friends on June 16th when she would have been alone at the house with Caylee.

Cathy and others have mentioned several items that I have also posted about Casey Anthony and the web of lies that has been spun. Among them are some of the following,

I did finally see a copy of the subpoenas to Facebook and Myspace, which you can view in PDF format here. It asks for "Any and all internet usage activity of record, whether current or deleted from the internet user's page, including but not limited to: private messages, page comments, friends, friend requests, blogs, bulletins, IP addresses from visitors viewing profile, etc., which pertain to CASEY MARIE ANTHONY.

Updates - August 7th 2008

Orange County detectives as well as a crime-scene technician have been back out at George and Cindy Anthony's house again. They spent about an hour and left just before noon with another large bag of evidence. They aren't commenting on what it is that they found and removed from the house but things certainly aren't looking good for the Anthonys right now.

...

Just got home from Open House at the kid's school and saw a report where the crime lab technicians went back out to Caylee Anthony's grandparent's house this afternoon. Being as how both of the other posts were getting a bit long I am going to close comments there and start updating this thread instead with any new information. According to the Orlando Sentinel:

Not a lot to work with but it sure does give one plenty to think about. Either they are just fishing for evidence or they have reason to believe there is more evidence at the house we don't yet know about. The story has been updated at the Sentinel and according to Sgt John Allen of the Orange County Sheriff's Department they had just finished executing a search warrant and left with five or six bags about half an hour ago.
...If you want more information then the Sentinel is a good place to start. Don't stop there but there is a wealth of information over at their site for anyone interested.
...I was torn this evening. Watch the news channels while blogging or let the kids watch the new Spongebob. Spongebob and Patrick won out and now I am having a hard time holding my attention on what I am doing. Doh! Yeah, my level of humor is right around the fifth grade. Besides, I sat watching the news channels last night and it's the same old crap anyway. It's like a flashback from when Natalee Holloway went missing. Greta Van Susteren and Nancy Grace running their yaps showing the same old tired crap over and over. Nancy Grace sucks anyway and the thing is, they are just regurgitating stuff that's been on the Internet and local news channels for days or weeks now. I was reading a really well-written commentary at the Orlando Sentinel by Scott Maxwell earlier this afternoon and I felt like it really pointed a few things out that I mentioned during the Natalee Holloway case. I was really interested in that one and posted several times over the months about it. What I really found interesting was the fact that the post that got the most attention was one I wrote entitled "What if Natalee Holloway Was Poor and Black?" It wasn't even really a post. More like two sentences but it garnered more hits and comments than anything I have ever written on any of my web sites. People were calling me a racist, calling each other racists and just generally carrying on. A bunch of trolls and asshats is what most of them were. Basically Scott just points out that all of the media hullabaloo isn't really helping anything. His very first line says "I'm watching Nancy Grace -- and having trouble understanding why anyone else would do the same". Damn, that says it all don't it? When my wife walked through the room and saw what was on she was amazed that I was even watching the moron but there I was watching the "experts" and talking heads all discussing the case. Shit, the commenters and myself apparently know more about the case and have a greater understanding of what's going on than most of them do. He also mentions that we are participating in a media circus. To that I will agree and I guess I'm guilty of it just as much as he was when he was writing the commentary in the first place. The he writes something that brings a tear to my eye:
He's right you know. Does that mean I am going to stop writing about? Hell no. If we keep the case in the public eye long enough and there is any slim chance in hell that Caylee Anthony is still alive then I want every damn person in America to know her face and call when they see her. I don't think she's alive though unfortunately. As I mentioned in my other posts, I think Caylee is worm dirt now. If there are angels then she is with them and if Casey Anthony had anything to do with it I hope she rots in jail to a ripe old age. Killing's too good for her. I've emailed Scott Maxwell. Just to thank him for the article. It really points out some things about today's media. Are we (bloggers) imitating the media or is it the other way? Loose accusations and statements with no backup information are a couple of examples. I expect that from non-paid normal folks but I guess I am a bit old fashioned and expect the truth from the "descendants" of Walter Kronkite, Tom Snyder and other folks like that.
