Recovered; Dec 11, 2008

DNA Tests Confirm Remains Belong to Caylee


Orange County, Fla. Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia announced to a room full of reporters on Dec. 19, 2008, that DNA tests have confirmed that skeletal remains found on Dec. 11, 2008, belong to missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony.

Dr. Garavaglia stated that the bones found were not intact and that there was "No trauma to [the] bones prior to death." She said the cause of death would be listed as homicide by undetermined means.

Caylee's remains were discovered on December 11, 2008, by an Orange County utility worker less than half a mile from the girl's home.

It has been reported that the utility worker called the Orange County Tip line on Aug. 11, 12, and 13, 2008, and told police to search the site were the remains were found.

Police say a deputy was sent out to the area on the 13, but found nothing.

Police are investigating the calls to determine if the tips were handled properly. Police say the area was searched in the past, but the grounds were flooded.

Police say they will continue to investigate Caylee's murder, but after following up on more than five thousand tips, the mystery of where is Caylee is finally over.
