ORLANDO, FL (AP) — A sheriff’s detective says a car driven by the mother of a missing 2-year-old Florida girl smelled of decomposition when investigators recovered it.
Casey Anthony’s Pontiac was towed after being parked for days at an Orlando check-cashing business. Anthony’s mother testified in court Tuesday that her daughter and granddaughter hadn’t been home in weeks.
Cpl. Yuri Melich says it appeared that a stain, some dirt and 2-year-old Caylee’s hair were in the trunk.
Casey Anthony has been charged with child endangerment, making false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation, but wants to be released on bond. Police say the 22-year-old has lied to them.
Casey Anthony’s family says she was a good mother and never hurt Caylee.
My definition of “good mother” does not include having a toddler missing for 5 weeks and not reporting it. My feeling based on the mother’s demeanor at her arrest when the story first broke was that Caylee was dead, and her mother knew it.

Hopefully all the attention given to this story will somehow shed some light on Caylee’s disappearance.

This is incredibly sad. Poor baby, it really shocks me how careless and self centered people can be. I hope that baby is still alive and is recovered safely.

I think that she was partying . . left her child asleep in the hot florida night and she came back to her dead. She didn’t know what to do so she left her in the car (which is why is smelled bad) and then after 30 days she figured out her story and where she hid the body . . . and thus why she is not speaking now to anyone. . . her lawyer, her parents, her brother . . . this woman is a socio path
