Orange County detectives were expected to meet with the State Attorney’s office to discuss new evidence in the Caylee Anthony case. A source close to the investigation confirmed for Eyewitness News, that FBI test results show hair and a stain in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car belong to her daughter, 3-year-old Caylee Anthony. Eyewitness News was also told the evidence found proves that she is dead.

The State Attorney’s Office also confirmed on Wednesday that Casey Anthony was invited to their office to shed light on the disappearance of Caylee. The State Attorney’s Office is not revealing details about the offer of limited immunity. Eyewitness News has learned there is a time limit on that offer, however.

 

Eyewitness news spoke to a forensic expert to find out how investigators are able to use DNA to determine that a dead body was in Casey’s trunk.

 

“Just putting the hair under the microscope one can tell the difference between a normal hair root and one that’s been infected with bacteria after death.” stated forensic expert Michael Baden.

 

Baden is a forensic pathologist who worked extensively on the OJ Simpson case. He also said the inside linings of the mouth and nose release fluid when they begin to decompose and that fluid can also be identified by DNA.

 

Casey Anthony’s brother Lee said nothing when he left his parents home early Thursday morning. Attorney Jose Baez met with the family for several hours alone.“Not going to talk about evidence,” said Baez.

 

Casey’s left her attorney’s office wearing big white sunglasses without saying a word, and her attorney didn’t want to talk either.

 

“Get off my property,” he said.

 

Investigators from the sheriff’s office and the FBI met with Casey Anthony on Wednesday afternoon at her attorney’s office. Cindy Anthony was also there. Casey only met with investigators for about 10 minutes and said nothing when she departed. Cindy Anthony left later in the afternoon, followed by the investigators. An investigator went to the Anthony’s home but only stayed for a few minutes.

 

The sheriff’s office, though, is not commenting on this development and issued the following statement late Wednesday afternoon: “Preserving the integrity of the investigative details of a case of this magnitude is paramount to its successful conclusion. We are unable to comment any further on information that has recently surfaced regarding the Caylee Anthony investigation. Any future returns in regards to evidence or submissions pertaining to this case will remain privileged or exempt unless the release of such information will be beneficial to the investigation or if it becomes a matter of public record in a legal proceeding.”

 

It was Caylee’s grandmother Cindy who first expressed concern about the disgusting stench that came from the trunk of Casey’s car. It came during a 911 call when she reported Caylee was missing.

 

“It smells like there was a dead body in the damn car,” Cindy told the dispatcher.

 

Cindy Anthony went on to change her story and say rotting pizza was behind the smell.
