New Docs Give More Details About Death of Florida Tot Caylee Anthony

There have been some new developments in the Caylee Anthony case, and, predictably, they’re extremely upsetting.

Court documents released Wednesday by the state attorney’s office in its case against little Caylee’s mom, Casey Anthony, found that the two-year-old’s remains were originally packed inside a black plastic bag and a cloth laundry hamper bag. Investigators also found a size 3T shirt, a kid’s pair of striped white shorts, small cloth-type letters and a Winnie the Pooh blanket. Search warrants for the Anthony home in Florida also came up with items like a small plastic toy horse similar to one found at the crime scene. Perhaps the most disturbing detail, however, is that someone placed a heart-shaped sticker on the tape stretched across the dead toddler’s mouth.

Another court report concerned Ricardo Morales, one of Anthony’s ex-boyfriends, and a photo he once posted on MySpace with lettering that said, "Win her over with Chloroform." Police found traces of chloroform in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car, where they also detected the smells of a decaying body. Investigators said last year they found Internet searches involving the words "neck breaking" and "household weapons" on Casey Anthony’s home computer. She has been charged with her daughter’s murder.

Casey Anthony didn’t immediately report her daughter missing. In fact, she seemed to go on living a normal life; no one suspected anything out of the ordinary. FOX News reports that text messages between Casey Anthony and her then-boyfriend show that Casey hadn’t said a word to anyone even a day later.

This is such a sad story. What a beautiful little girl and what a waste of a life.

I would prefer all this information didn’t come out until the trial…let’s not convict before we have all the information. Let’s just morn for this beautiful little girl and her family.

I understand why the media can’t keep this buried on “Page 3.” But I still think it belongs there. Why does the public at large need to have these grisly and heartbreaking details shouted at them? We don’t. This morning, I walked into the family room where the Today Show was imparting all this “must know” information, and found my girlfriend’s little 5 year old daughter standing in front of the screen with her jaw slack and her eyes bright. I mean, it was 7:15 in the morning! Come On!

I would imagine that Casey Anthony’s lawyer is going to want a change of venue to Mars in order to get a "fair trial". That’s about where it’s going to have to be held in order to find an impartial jury. If ever there was a family not only dysfunctional, but totally in denial it’s the Anthonys! In some ways Casey is a victim too, in that there does not appear to be a lot of real love there. Certainly not with her mom. This is a tragedy that keeps on going and growing. At least, painfully, Caylee is not subjected to it anymore!
