UPDATE ADDED Remains Found with Duct Tape on Mouth; Casey on Psych Watch, In Isolation

Reports from NBC News state that the utility worker that went into the woods and stumbled upon the bag. Upon using a stick to poke at the bag, a skull became visible and had duct tape on the mouth.

DNA from the remains will be compared to Caylee's DNA at Quantico, VA. When Jose Baez told Casey of the news, she began to sob.

Prosecutors tell NBC News that even though they had pulled the death penalty off the table, that could change.

According to Sheriff Kevin Beary, there are clues that came out of the bag yesterday that led them to obtaining the search warrant last night and secluding the Anthony home.

Casey is on Psychological Watch and is in isolation at the Orange County Jail.

*Update: Theories are that the duct tape found over the mouth on the skull could have been used to "stage" a kidnapping, or used in the actual death. Duct tape and garbage bags are excellent items for forensic evidence. They can contain trace evidence, such as on the duct tape, it can collect fingerprints, fibers, hair, etc.

Update on Casey regarding remains being found

It is being reported by Mike Brooks on CNN, that Jose Baez is with Casey Anthony at this time after the remains have been found.

Jail officials did notify Casey when the remains were found. There are however, no reports of reactions from Casey at this time.

Natisha Lance, Nancy Grace producer, is interviewing Captain Angelo Nieves, of OCSO, at this time on CNN. The remains of a small child have been found but the condition of the evidence and and what was found with the remains are not being released at this time. Medical Examiner, forensics and CSI are on the scene. It is stated that it may be several hours before the scene will be cleared, and the remains removed.

The scene is in a populated neighborhood area. The Anthony's home is about one third of the way from the scene, but can not be seen from the scene.


Mike Brooks states that forensics will make soil comparisons from the soil from the scene to the soil on the shovel.


There is a remote possibility that due to the remains being underwater for such a period of time, there may be more to the remains than just bone. There is also tape on the bag with will also help in forensics, along with the bag itself. Remains and evidence will be sent to Quantico, VA, for testing with priority status.
