From WFTV newsroom:

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Did Casey Anthony kill her own daughter with chloroform? Eyewitness News has learned someone was looking up the recipe to cook up the chemical on Casey’s home computer around the same time Caylee disappeared.

There was evidence of high levels of chloroform in the trunk of Casey’s car and sheriff’s investigators found that someone on Casey Anthony’s computer was researching not where to buy chloroform, but how to make it yourself, which can be done easily.

Eyewitness News legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says, if you were up to no good, there would be an advantage to making it as opposed to buying it.

When you Google “how do you make chloroform,” more than a million websites are listed with instructions. On the first one, page one had an explicit warning about chloroform’s dangers, calling the chemical extremely dangerous and unpredictable and warning never to allow children to come near chloroform.

FBI lab tests show high levels of chloroform in the trunk of Casey’s car, where investigators say Caylee’s body had been. And there was a mysterious stain in the trunk along with Caylee’s hairs and dirt.

“Another piece of evidence in the circumstantial chain,” Sheaffer said.

According to WESH Channel 2 news in Orlando Florida, the chemical chloroform was found in Casey Anthony’s trunk. Chloroform is a difficult chemical to get a hold of.

The police department has also confiscated Casey Anthony’s hard drive and found websites related to chloroform and how to obtain it. 

Leonard Padilla, bounty hunter who bailed Casey out of jail, spoke on Nancy Grace last night and said 

“When the FBI, who has got some of the finest labs in the world, comes back (with findings), it is going to shock the world over something Lee, Casey and Cindy have known since Wednesday when they released their preliminary findings,” Padilla said. “And also, the Dumpster located a mile and quarter away from the boyfriend Tony’s home is going to play a big part in this.”

Right now volunteers are searching Blanchard Park in Orange County and deputies have collected evidence and placed them in brown paper bags. No word on what the evidence is or if it is related to the case.
