On December 11th, a utility worker stumbled upon the remains of a small child in a plastic bag and a week later it has been confirmed that the remains found are those of Caylee Marie Anthony. ”With regret, I am here to inform you that the skeletal remains found … are those of the missing toddler Caylee Anthony,” medical examiner Dr. Jan Gervais told reporters during a 2 p.m. press conference in Orlando, Fla. The announcement came after an FBI forensic lab in Virginia matched the child’s DNA with bones discovered near her grandparents’ home. Caylee disappeared in June and her mother Casey Anthony waited five weeks to report her missing and claimed that the babysitter she had left Caylee with had abducted her. According to Gervais, “The cause of death will be listed as homicide by undetermined means.” Until further notice, her mother will be awaiting trial.
