This is the only news story on WESH, and has been the only news story for the past half hour (and possibly longer). And it’s heart breaking.

They had a bond hearing this afternoon for Casey, the egg donor who brought Caylee into this world. It seems she might have had a hand in taking Caylee out of this world, too. Heart breaking.

The lead detective in the case, Yuri Melich, took the stand and talked about the search of Casey Anthony’s car. He said hair samples similar to the color and length of Caylee’s hair were found in the trunk of the car and the car smelled of decomposition. He also talked about a shovel that Casey Anthony borrowed from a neighbor and had her car backed up to the garage, and that some dirt found in the trunk of her car needs to be processed. He said the cadaver dog appeared to be alerted when searching the car and the Anthonys home.
Melich testified that they believe there is a possibility that Caylee is no longer alive.

Grandma, Cindy, was interviewed as she exited the courthouse. She was questioned about the smell in the car. Cindy said there was a pizza that had been rotting in the car, covered in maggots, for twelve days. I’m sorry, but no. Rotten pizza does not smell like rotten human corpse. Not even close. Garbage smells like garbage, rotting human smells like — well, it’s the most horrible smell ever. (thank you, neighborboy for killing yourself and rotting in the apartment next door for two weeks.) Cadaver dogs can smell the difference between rotting food and rotting human. So, sorry Cindy, I’m really sorry, I’m sure this is so difficult for you, but if the dogs hit on the smell of a cadaver in Casey’s car and in your home, that’s because there was a body there. And if the inspector could still smell the stench of death in the car, that means there was a body there. Body does not smell like pizza. Ever.

They’re also reporting that the neighbor who loaned a shovel to Casey saw Casey back the car up to the garage. I’m speculating that the body was in the trunk, since that’s what the dogs and inspectors smelled, and then carried through the garage, to the back yard where she was buried. And, apparently moved later, since no body was found in the yard even though the dogs hit on the yard, too.

This does not bode well.

It’s heart breaking.
