Seems like a very obvious place. In EquuSearch's defense, it was supposedly underwater, but I'm having a hard time believing it could have been that difficult to spot.

| 'Remains appear to be Caylee Anthony', says searcher |
| 2008-12-12 |
| An Orange County utility worker may have found what dozens of investigators and search crews have been looking for during the last five months -- the bones of missing toddler Caylee Marie Anthony. A meter reader this morning walked into a patch of woods near Hopespring and Suburban drives and discovered a plastic bag on the ground. When he lifted the bag, a child's skull rolled out. The location of the remains is less than one-quarter mile from where Caylee lived with her mother, Casey Anthony, and her grandparents. Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary confirmed the bones belong to a child, but would not verify if they are the remains of the toddler. However, Tim Miller, founder and leader of Texas EquuSearch -- the group that has been helping detectives search for the missing girl -- said a sheriff's investigator in the case thinks the remains are Caylee's. The bones "appear to be Caylee, but with any case, we have to wait until a positive ID is made," Miller said. "It looks like finally it's over with." The medical examiner's office collected the remains Thursday and Beary said the discovery is a top priority for the forensic investigators at the FBI. "We are trying to put it all together," Beary said. The fastest the bones can be tested for DNA identification is a couple of days, if the case is given priority, according to Dr. Marcella Fierro, former chief medical examiner of Virginia. It will be virtually impossible to determine if the skeleton is male or female without DNA, she said. "Until you really have the bones showing the effect of hormones or adolescent development, it would be tough to gender them," said Fierro. Caylee was 2 when she was reported missing July 15. Anthony, 22, was indicted in October for first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, four counts of providing false information to law enforcement and a slew of check fraud charges. She is being held without bail at the Orange County Jail. Anthony, her parents George and Cindy Anthony; and her defense attorney, José Baez, have insisted that Caylee is alive. George and Cindy Anthony were flying from California, where they appeared on CNN's Larry King Live on Wednesday, while today's events unfolded. After their flight landed at Orlando International Airport on Thursday afternoon, law-enforcement officers rushed them off the plane and away from the media. |

| #8 armchair unqualified analysis: the Mother seems like a patho liar, with total narcissistic tendencies. Caylee was only important as to how it pertained to Casey, and apparently she lived her life with lies, theft, fake jobs and partying. The mom's a POS and best left disposable. The thing that's really disturbing to me is the grandparent's behavior. They were the advocates the child needed at first, making the 911 calls, describing a "death smell", etc. Later they went into denial/defend the Mom mode, and their actions have been less than honorable IMHO. Anyone that could kill a child should be dispatched from this Earthly realm pronto without regrets or snivelling |

| #7 "But whoever offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:6 How someone could do this to a little girl is beyond my understanding, a fact for which I am deeply grateful. Whoever did this deserves to be removed from both the gene pool and the ranks of the living as quickly as possible. Some things are unforgivable. This is one of them. |

| #4 I am missing the toast references. But anytime a child is killed, by any means, my heart tears just a bit more. And i think any parent that has lost a child can relate. I only hope she is at peace. And may that same God have mercy on those that harmed her, because I sure hope the justice dep't doesn't. |

| #3 It didn't really take a corpse to figure out what happened the the little girl. Maybe grandma and grandpa will STFU about their hair-brained theories now. They should prolly be indicted for obstruction as well. |
