Caylee Anthony: A Life Cut Short

Caylee Anthony was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy, on July 15, 2008 after her daughter Casey would not tell her where the 2-year-old was. Casey Anthony later told investigators that Caylee was with a babysitter, Zenaida Gonzalez. Gonzalez reportedly denied this, and Casey then allegedly admitted that she hadn't seen her child in over a month.

Casey Anthony was arrested July 17, 2008 and charged with child neglect and other charges. On October 21, 2008, the charges of child neglect were dropped against Casey. In a statement that morning, the State Attorney's Office explained: "The neglect charges were premised on the theory that her child, Caylee Marie, was still alive." Investigators said they had discovered signs of human decomposition in Anthony's car.

On Dec. 19, 2008 a meter reader, Roy Kronk, discovered skeletal remains of what appeared to be a young child in a wooded area about a quarter mile from the elder Anthonys' home, and the Orange-Osceola County Medical Examiner confirmed that the remains found near the Anthony home were Caylee Marie Anthony.

Reports surfaced that there appeared to be duct tape over the mouth area of the child's skull, and that the duct tape had a small heart shaped area of residue on its surface, indicating a heart shaped sticker had at one time been stuck on the surface of the duct tape.

Casey Anthony's parents, Cindy and George, say they believe in their daughter's innocence and believe that she doesn't know what happened to Caylee.

Transcripts of jailhouse interviews with Casey Anthony's fellow inmates were released April 5, 2009 that included claims that she admitted to drugging her 2-year-old daughter out while she went out with friends.
